Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

He wasn’t sure how many years have passed since the Daying Immortal Mansion, but surely it’s exceeded the lifespan limit of a thousand years for the Nascent Soul.

Even though the old monk’s existence was at Nascent Soul Perfection back then, he was scattered and severely injured and had managed to live until now despite being in Dragon-slaying Valley where there is no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; it’s truly unbelievable.

"Oh well, it seems the two of you, fellow Daoists, are also unaware of how to enter the Celestial Dragon Temple."

"I won’t disturb you any further."

Absorbing one of his Dharma Bones, the old monk’s aura seemed to strengthen significantly. After bowing respectfully to the two, he abruptly turned around, picked up the pottery jar on the ground, and stumbled away in the distance.

Watching his hunched figure, Xu Zhan slightly turned his head.

"Third Uncle, this old bald donkey is quite strange, should we...?"

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

But Shen Wen’an simply shook his head.

"His state is very peculiar, and he clearly isn’t from the Tribulation Fire Sect."

"Our immediate priority is to quickly find the people from the Tribulation Fire Sect and then get out of this ghostly place."

"As for him... he’s not our concern."

Due to the existence of the Myriad Dragons Array, there’s no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Dragon-slaying Valley. Using even a fraction of Sword Essence from within means consuming a fraction less.

The two didn’t know how long they would stay in Dragon-slaying Valley, and they couldn’t afford to waste the elixir and Spirit Crystal they had.

At this moment, it was unnecessary to clash with this peculiar old monk.

In the previous brief encounter, Shen Wen’an could tell the old monk’s strength wasn’t weak, and even if the two of them went all out, it was uncertain whether they could slay him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhan pondered briefly and decided not to bother with the old monk.

"Can Third Uncle continue tracking those Tribulation Fire Sect fellows?"

Shen Wen’an nodded: "I’ll give it a try."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he released his Divine Sense once more, starting to feel the flow of energy from the Grand Array.

Meanwhile.

Outside Dragon-slaying Valley, six figures suddenly breached the barrier and appeared on the outskirts of Dragon-slaying Valley.

"Where is this...?"

The six who suddenly appeared were Huang Lingshan and Liu Qixuan among them.

A few days ago, the six had left Yunshui City and rushed tirelessly to Flame Lake City.

After meeting Shen Xiuyun and He Zhongyi, they learned from them about the places where those dragon-shaped illusions appeared.

The six then came directly here.

Like Shen Wen’an back then, the six were sword-controlling, flying across the boundless desert, and arrived here unexpectedly.

"This place is very strange!"

Moonlight Sword Immortal surveyed the surroundings and said solemnly, "I can feel that this place is filled with extremely dense yin and evil Qi!"

Her voice fell, and Zhang Shijie, dressed as a frail scholar beside her, gazed at the distant Dragon-slaying Valley and murmured deeply: "There is also a massive Sealing Array here..."

"The being who arranged this array definitely reached a terrifying level of expertise in the Array Dao."

While a few were vigilantly watching the surroundings, the space before them suddenly twisted, followed by the emergence of a figure in a plain gauze immortal robe, with white hair and beard appearing before them.

The sudden appearance of Feng Jingyang startled them.

Their Sword Essence surged within, instantly preparing for action!

Yet, Feng Jingyang just swept a glance, and they immediately felt an invisible force binding them!

Under this binding force, the six Golden Core Sword Immortal Realm cultivators couldn’t even move their fingers, let alone draw swords to confront.

Huang Lingshan and the others were startled in their hearts.

Nascent Soul True Monarch!

The peculiar old man before them must be a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could possess such terrifying methods.

"Senior, please quell your anger. We’ve entered this place by mistake. Please show mercy, Senior..."

Unable to move, Moonlight Sword Immortal immediately spoke urgently.

But at this moment, Feng Jingyang remained expressionless, seemingly unaware of what he said.

Guarding Dragon-slaying Valley was his responsibility.

For countless years before, Dragon-slaying Valley had always been quiet and uneventful.

But in recent decades, first Shen Wen’an barged in, and due to Xu Xiu’s prior warning, he could only use a Secret Skill to erase his memory and cast him out.

Then, the bunch of Tribulation Fire Sect mice brazenly sneaked in while he was in closed-door meditation studying Divine Power, intending to destroy the Myriad Dragons Array and release the sealed Celestial Dragon Temple.

Before the Tribulation Fire Sect mess had been cleaned up, Xu Zhan and Shen Wen’an arrived.

In less than a year, six sword cultivators from the Golden Core Realm broke into Dragon-slaying Valley once more.

Feng Jingyang was not one with a good temper, and guarding the place being trespassed repeatedly had long made him exceedingly annoyed.

But just as he raised his hand to eradicate Huang Lingshan and the others, he seemed to suddenly sense something.

His gaze turned to Huang Lingshan, and after his brows furrowed slightly, the raised hand slowly lowered.

The six survivors were all filled with unease.

After observing Huang Lingshan for a moment, Feng Jingyang waved his hand gently, lifting the binding force on them.

Having regained their freedom, the six exchanged apprehensive glances, all bowing respectfully to Feng Jingyang, "Thank you, Senior, for sparing our lives."

They all understood that facing such a terrifying Nascent Soul True Monarch, life and death were at his whim.

And Feng Jingyang indeed had harbored killing intent just now.

Though they didn’t know why his killing intent was withdrawn, they were temporarily safe.

"Why are you here?"

Feng Jingyang asked indifferently with hands behind his back.

The six exchanged glances, and Moonlight Sword Immortal bowed and spoke, "We dare not hide from Senior; a few of us are here looking for someone, but we stumbled upon Senior’s place of seclusion. Please forgive us, Senior."
