Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

The moment Shen Chongming collected his thoughts, he already had a suspicion in his heart, but was not yet daring to confirm it.

He could only hastily nod towards Huang Lingshan and hurry towards the Clan Court.

Upon arriving at the Clan Court, he found Shen Xiuyan, Mu Yan, Mu Chang, and others already gathered outside the entrance.

In front of everyone, the Golden Toad and Silver Thread Centipede blocked the entrance, prohibiting anyone from entering.

"Patriarch."

"Uncle."

Seeing Shen Chongming arrive, Shen Xiuyan and the others all cupped their hands in respect.

Shen Chongming nodded and looked towards the Golden Toad, asking, "Is Li’Er making a breakthrough?"

The Golden Toad nodded solemnly, its eyes carrying a trace of seriousness: "Forgive me, Patriarch, my lord is currently at a critical moment, and I, a Little Demon, cannot let you in."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming was not angered but instead showed delight: "So, Li’Er is going to achieve a Golden Core breakthrough!?"

Shen Li had been in seclusion for more than three years now, and the fluctuation, similar to Divine Sense, emanating from the Clan Court earlier was clearly not something ordinary Fetal Breathing could possess.

This was likely a sign of Shen Li breaking through to the Golden Core.

However, as Shen Li practiced the Witchcraft and Gu Dao and possessed the Gu Spirit Sacred Body, whether breaking through to the Golden Core would be the same as for the Immortal Dao, he wasn’t sure.

"I do not know, Little Demon does not know."

The Golden Toad shook its head.

All it knew now was to follow Shen Li’s commands and keep everyone outside, ensuring they weren’t disturbed.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming contemplated briefly before turning to Shen Xiuyan.

"Xiuyan."

"Uncle." Shen Xiuyan respectfully cupped his hands.

Shen Chongming spoke: "Take them away, do not surround here anymore."

"Commander Mu Yan."

"I am here, sir."

"Have the cultivators of the Clan Court stand on guard outside, instruct them according to the requirements when someone broke through to the Golden Core previously."

Commander Mu Yan hastily agreed, cupping his hands.

Once the crowd in front of the Clan Court dispersed, only Shen Chongming remained to keep watch.

Inside the courtyard, the fluctuations of Divine Sense had grown increasingly intense.

At such close range, Shen Chongming could clearly feel that this fluctuation was not actually Divine Sense, but a very pure power of the Divine Soul.

Moreover, this pure power of the Divine Soul carried a distinct aura that belonged to Shen Li.

Feeling this, he couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

Purely in terms of Divine Soul strength, Shen Li had already surpassed him by a large margin.

And this is when Shen Li hadn’t even fully broken through.

If he did, like an Immortal Dao cultivator, blessed by Heaven and granted Golden Nature.

Once he fully integrated with the Golden Nature, Shen Li’s Divine Soul strength would reach an unimaginable level for him.

Half a day passed as he awaited at the entrance of the Clan Court, when suddenly a streak of light flew over from the back mountain.

The streak of light landed on the ground and transformed into a beautiful woman wearing a scarlet dress.

Seeing the newcomer, Shen Chongming immediately cupped his hands in respect: "Aunt."

Hu Mei’Er slightly nodded, her eyes filled with deep concern as she gazed towards the interior of the Clan Court.

"How is Li’Er?"

Shen Chongming smiled softly as he said, "Aunt, do not worry, sister Li’Er is fine."

"This time she is probably about to break through to a Golden Core."

Break through to a Golden Core?

Hu Mei’Er turned around, her face showing even more worry.

"I’ve heard that when you and your third uncle broke through to the Golden Core, both of you were attacked by the Underworld, now with your third uncle absent, I’m worried Li’Er might also..."

Shen Chongming continued to reassure her: "Aunt, rest assured, with your nephew here, if the Underworld folk really come, your nephew will surely protect Li’Er with his life."

Hearing this, Hu Mei’Er felt at ease, even if only slightly.

"Aunt, please return for now, leave this to your nephew."

Considering that Hu Mei’Er might cause disruption due to her concern, Shen Chongming decided to have her return first.

Hu Mei’Er slightly nodded then bowed: "Li’Er is entrusted to you."

After seeing Hu Mei’Er off, Shen Chongming pondered for a moment, then returned to the old residence’s chamber and informed Huang Lingshan of Shen Li’s potential breakthrough.

After a brief contemplation, Huang Lingshan gently said: "In the past, if someone was breaking through to the Golden Core, it might attract the Underworld, and aunt would naturally evade them."

"However, back then, your third uncle gave me the Celestial Monarch Mountain’s Secret Skill [Soul-Slaying Sword] and the method to cultivate the Wisdom Sword."

"After years of dedicated cultivation, your aunt has also made some progress in the [Soul-Slaying Sword] Secret Skill, I plan to test its power on the Underworld folks today."

Usually, Golden Core cultivators dare not confront those from the Underworld.

Now equipped with means to counter them, Huang Lingshan wanted to see what these beings, feared by Golden Core cultivators like pests, were truly capable of.

Shen Chongming nodded: "In that case, dear aunt, please remember that to combat the Underworld, only Mental Realm Attacks, Soul Skills, and Soul Artifacts are effective."

"Also, those from the Underworld, like Demon cultivators, can transform into hideous creatures."

"That is their true form, Underworld cultivators who reveal their true form are the strongest."

The Shen Family had encountered Underworld cultivators in the past and had some understanding of their abilities.

Huang Lingshan slightly nodded, then went with Shen Chongming to the entrance of the Clan Court.

Back in the backyard of the Clan Court.

Shen Li sat cross-legged in a room, surrounded by a flood of silvery-white light.

The light gathered above her head, constantly transforming into shapes of wolves, tigers, leopards, and various insects and birds.

The things formed by the silvery light shimmered as loyal guardians, encircling Shen Li.

Above Shen Li’s head, a sphere radiating five-colored lights spun slowly.

As she breathed deeply, the five-colored sphere flickered regularly, changing colors.

Time slowly passed by.

As the sky outside gradually dimmed, the five-colored sphere above her head suddenly became much brighter.
