Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

"How about this, we join forces to dig out the ruins below, and split whatever we get fifty-fifty."

Meeting Zhou Xuan’s slightly crafty gaze, Xu Zhan let out a cold laugh on the spot. "You’ve really got it all figured out, huh."

"You took the Cold Jade Marrow and still want to split things fifty-fifty with us, do you take us for idiots?"

Zhou Xuan curled her lips, seeming to realize she’d gone a bit too far. After pondering for a breath, she spoke. "Then... forty-sixty?"

"Twenty-eighty." Xu Zhan didn’t want to bicker with her, and directly said, "If you don’t agree, I’ll go bring reinforcements right now."

"By then, don’t even talk about twenty percent, you won’t even get a single drop of Cold Jade Marrow."

"You’re threatening me!?"

Zhou Xuan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her voice turning cold.

Meeting her gaze, Xu Zhan just smiled indifferently.

Without that so-called "Annihilation Arrow," even though this woman had the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Realm, the Shen Family was not without the strength to fight.

The two of them just stared at each other like that, neither willing to yield.

After a long time, Zhou Xuan helplessly waved her hand. "Fine, twenty-eighty it is."

"But when the time comes, if there’s something good, I get first pick of one item."

Xu Zhan thought it over and felt he couldn’t push her too far either; if they really fought, it would be a troublesome matter.

"Alright, it’s settled then."

"You seem to be well-versed in ice-attribute Techniques, so I’ll leave the job of breaking the ice layer below to you."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan puffed up her cheeks a bit and clenched her fist.

But in order to get down and hunt for treasure as soon as possible, she could only accept this drudge work.

...

Yunshui City.

After returning from Dragon-slaying Valley, Shen Wen’an had remained in seclusion, Refinement the pill poison in his body and making up for the deficit of more than two years.

Such a seclusion should have ended very quickly.

But earlier, Shen Li had executed the Heavenly Prayer Skill, causing the Shen Family’s bloodline to show initial signs of reverting to its ancestors.

Besides bringing the ancient memories of the "Golden Nature Scam," the bloodline regression also awakened the hidden cultivation instincts buried deep in the Shen clan members’ blood.

According to Luo Tianxing, back when the Cangming Sea Region was still the Cangming Realm, the Great Dao Laws were complete, and some Human Race Cultivators who obtained great fortunes could even comprehend the Dao within a hundred days and ascend to immortality.

But later the Cangmin Realm was shattered, the Great Dao Laws became hidden and indistinct; let alone ascension to immortality, even cultivating to the Divinity Transformation Realm became a luxury.

While in seclusion, Shen Wen’an had sensed the changes occurring in his bloodline.

When he first obtained the secret of the "Golden Nature Scam" from his bloodline, he had once been at a loss, almost Falling into Demon because of it.

Fortunately, his Sword Heart Clarity allowed him to quickly stabilize his Heart Spirit, and he began to calmly comprehend the other memories within his bloodline.

Now, although the Shen Family’s bloodline regression had only just begun, the ancient memories surging forth from the depths of the bloodline allowed Shen Wen’an to experience the grand scene of the Ancient Times Human Race ancestors comprehending the Laws of heaven and earth and nature.

That ancient aura of heaven and earth vast and boundless, sun and moon blazing, the Great Dao manifesting, seemed to have fused into the depths of his bloodline. As he kept comprehending, it was bit by bit dug out, lingering around his heart without dispersing.

"The sword of ultimate sharpness hides in no edge; the sword of ultimate speed is concealed in slowness; when the official mind stops, the spirit desires to move..."

"When a Sword Cultivator reaches this point, abandoning form and preserving intent, man and sword both forgotten, only then can he roam together with the Great Dao of heaven and earth!"

"Thus the Sword Dao is the Heavenly Dao; following the natural Law, harmonizing the transformations of Yin and Yang, in the end one returns to the supreme Realm?"

Within his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness, after comprehending the bloodline for a long time, Shen Wen’an seemed to hear the earnest teachings of the Ancient Times Human Race ancestors.

This voice seemed to be preaching the Dao, yet also seemed to be wanting to discuss together with him, this later-generation Sword Cultivator, the ultimate extremity of the Sword Cultivator’s Great Dao.

Under the influence of this Dao sound, Shen Wen’an’s understanding of the Laws deepened by the day. Strands of Power of Laws floated and drifted within his Dantian, gradually sketching out a purple-gold phantom of a Dao Palace.

Shen Wen’an could clearly feel that his Realm at this moment was slowly shedding its old form, transforming step by step toward the Purple Mansion Realm.

Only, the Power of Laws he currently comprehended always felt like rootless duckweed, drifting uncertainly within his Dantian.

At times they would outline the shape of a Purple Mansion Dao Palace, but in the next instant they would abruptly scatter because of the approach of his Golden Core Sword Pill.

"Do they not like my Golden Core Sword Pill?"

After countless attempts, a trace of sudden insight rose in Shen Wen’an’s heart.

These strands of Power of Laws that could construct a Purple Mansion Dao Palace seemed to possess their own consciousness, and greatly disliked this "guest," the Purple Mansion Sword Pill.

This left Shen Wen’an extremely puzzled.

He didn’t know where the problem lay, nor why the Purple Mansion Dao Palace within his Dantian would reject his own Golden Core Sword Pill.

The Dao sound of the Great Dao within his bloodline still echoed, and numerous insights continued to surge forth, yet his cultivation was stuck at this step, unable to advance further.

After pondering bitterly for a long time, a strange thought suddenly emerged in Shen Wen’an’s heart.

With a slight movement of his Heart Spirit, he immediately summoned the Golden Core Sword Pill out from his Dantian.

Buzz!

The instant the Golden Core Sword Pill left his Dantian, the Power of Laws drifting within the Dantian suddenly became active!

His consciousness clearly felt a slight tremor in the Dantian space, and then a Purple Mansion Dao Palace, radiating boundless Spirit Light, swiftly took shape within his Dantian!

In that instant, Shen Wen’an clearly felt his Realm break through!

From the previous Late Stage of Golden Core, he stepped past Golden Core Perfection and directly achieved the Purple Mansion Realm.

The Purple Mansion Dao Palace within his Dantian shone with Spirit Light, and in an instant, every inch of his flesh and blood, his meridians, his Sea of Consciousness and Divine Spirit, under the illumination of this Purple Mansion Spirit Light, underwent an immense transformation.

Shen Wen’an immediately gathered his Heart Spirit, carefully feeling the benefits brought by this all-around enhancement of his body.

Yet just as his body and Divine Spirit were about to finish being baptized by the Purple Mansion Spirit Light, Shen Wen’an’s expression suddenly changed dramatically!
