Chapter 892 - 290: The Ruse of Self-Sacrifice
Inside the side room, Shen Yuan sat resolutely on the chair with a stern face.
Seeing the father and son duo walk in, he immediately snorted coldly.
"Kneel down!"
"Grandfather, father he..."
"It’s fine."
Seeing Shen Chongming still wanting to plead for him, Shen Wenxing stopped him with a cheerful smile and knelt to the ground with a thud.
"Father, please calm down, don’t hurt yourself with anger."
Observing the blood still at the corner of his mouth, and his aura visibly a bit chaotic, Shen Yuan’s anger dissipated in half, and he asked gravely, "Tell me, what were you thinking?"
"Knowing there’s a problem with that thing, why did you still take the risk?"
"Isn’t the family’s trouble already enough?"
Shen Wenxing forced a smile and then answered seriously, "I want to become strong."
"I also want to thoroughly study that thing, to see if I can find anything useful during the process, to help you figure out a method of separation."
Initially unaware that the Golden Nature had issues, after breaking through to Golden Core, no cultivator ever investigated the problems of the immortal Golden Nature bestowed by Heaven.
Now that we know the Golden Nature is problematic, in the family, Shen Chongming, Shen Li, Xu Zhan, and Shen Wen’an have all merged with the Golden Nature.
The four have extremely high talents and are the Shen Family’s crucial future support.
Understanding his own talent well, Shen Wenxing knew that without any fateful opportunity, the Five Body Cultivation Realms would be his limit.
If he could use the process of cultivating the Impeccable Golden Body to clarify some characteristics of Golden Nature, helping his father quickly find a method to separate Golden Nature, it would not only free the four sooner, but also enhance his own strength.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan felt a mix of emotions.
After a long while—
"Stand up."
"Yeah!" Shen Wenxing cheerfully stood up and sat on a nearby chair.
"When we forcibly woke you up this time, how’s your injury?"
Looking at him briefly, Shen Yuan’s words carried a hint of concern.
"It’s fine, just wasted a few months of effort."
Shen Yuan snorted, "Wasting that effort is far better than merging with Golden Nature and cultivating the Impeccable Golden Body."
"Come here."
Calling Shen Wenxing to come closer, Shen Yuan’s palm glowed with dense Power of Great Derivation, gently grabbing at his body from a distance.
In the next moment, a thread of golden light exuding a strange divine aura was forcefully drawn out of Shen Wenxing’s body.
The Golden Nature was about three inches long, and when extracted by the Power of Great Derivation, it squirmed and twisted continuously, like some odd creature.
Controlling the Golden Nature with one hand, Shen Yuan lightly patted his storage bag at his waist with the other, taking out a peculiar doll and tossing it to Shen Wenxing.
"Drip a drop of essence blood on it."
Shen Wenxing hesitated for a while, initially wanting to persuade his father Shen Yuan to let him try again, but upon looking up and meeting Shen Yuan’s stern gaze, he dared not speak.
Forcing out a drop of fresh blood onto the doll, he then handed it over.
Receiving the doll, Shen Yuan directly formed a finger technique, manipulating the continuously twisting Golden Nature toward the doll.
Once they reached a certain distance, the Golden Nature abruptly broke free of control and burrowed into the doll.
In an instant, Shen Yuan repeatedly struck with the Power of Great Derivation, sealing the doll along with the Golden Nature inside, and tossed it into the storage bag.
"Father has some ideas about this matter, no need for you to worry."
"If you truly have nothing to do, I have some insights on body cultivation here for you to study first."
"When Xu Zhan returns, you two need to try exploring this new cultivation direction."
"If successful, you can avoid the so-called Impeccable Golden Body."
While speaking, Shen Yuan directly pulled out a blank jade scroll and inscribed the body cultivation system narrated by the golden elder at Nine Elements Exiled Immortal Temple.
Receiving the jade scroll, Shen Wenxing quickly scanned it and his eyes instantly emitted sharp gleams.
"Body cultivation... can it really be done this way?"
"Ah Die, where did you get this?"
"Go and study it thoroughly." Shen Yuan waved his hand and didn’t let him know where the jade scroll’s content came from.
Shen Wenxing refrained from asking, immediately putting the jade scroll away and stood up to leave.
"Father." Shen Chongming saw this and hurried over, wanting to assist him.
"I’m fine, you stay and chat with your grandfather."
Waving his hand, Shen Wenxing quickly departed from the side room.
Looking at his silhouette, Shen Yuan smiled and shook his head.
Shen Chongming escorted his father Shen Wenxing to the door, watched his silhouette disappear, then turned back into the side room.
"Grandfather, have you found the way to separate that thing?"
"Earlier, I saw Third Uncle and discovered..."
Knowing this conspiracy is related to "Heaven," every mention evokes deep apprehension.
Shen Yuan sighed softly, "I indeed found some methods."
"But these methods are not entirely reliable."
"Your Third Uncle succeeded due to some special opportunity, otherwise separation would have been impossible."
"As for you and Li’Er, you should wait a bit longer."
Shen Chongming nodded, "I’m indeed not in a rush."
"Right now, it’s more urgent for me to maintain my cultivation, and it would be best to progress further, breaking through to Purple Mansion."
"Oh?" Shen Yuan curiously asked, "How do you plan to do that?"
Shen Chongming smiled faintly, "It’s not really a plan, just fulfilling a promise made years ago in the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm."
"Once I successfully cultivate Purple Mansion, I will bring it out."
Though Shen Yuan didn’t know the specifics involved, he didn’t ask further.
Comparatively, Shen Chongming was clearly less of a worry than Shen Wenxing.
The grandfather and grandson were chatting idly when a Shen Family cultivator hurriedly arrived at the side room entrance.
