Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

"To think you arrived safely at the Thousand Feet Cliff; senior sister thought that old monster had left."

Shen Wen’an held a tea cup, looking somewhat startled.

Obviously, he was still imagining how the Golden Core Cultivator from the Yinhe Sect was killed by a single finger poke from the Old Man with a Conical Hat.

He had previously witnessed the strength of Golden Core Realm experts.

That Old Man with a Conical Hat instantly killed a Golden Core Realm Cultivator with just one finger. Such terrifying power could likely only be achieved by someone in the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Senior Sister, is that old man in the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Shen Wen’an asked.

Huang Lingshan simply smiled indifferently, without answering, and in turn asked:

"So, why did the old man let you through?"

Shen Wen’an shook his head slightly.

"At first, he didn’t let me through either."

"Just when I was about to turn back, he suddenly changed his mind and said he would give me a chance."

"Only this once."

Huang Lingshan pondered and then changed the topic.

"How are things over at Yangnao Land?"

Shen Wen’an briefly explained the recent events at Yangnao Land and added, "It seems Yangnao Land has truly become a grand game of chess."

"That Old Man with a Conical Hat may be one of the Chess Players."

"Blocking the entrance between Yangnao Land and Danzhou is to prevent others from disrupting their setup."

Huang Lingshan nodded slightly and, after hesitating for a moment, took out a few Jade Scrolls from her Storage Bag.

"These are some Thunder Attribute Techniques and two Arrow Techniques I collected for Chongming over the years; take them to him later."

Shen Wen’an took the Jade Scrolls, without looking much, and put them directly into the Storage Bag.

"Junior Brother has two matters to consult Senior Sister about this time."

Huang Lingshan nodded.

Shen Wen’an continued, "Senior Sister, do you know if there are any real Artifact Refining Masters in Danzhou?"

A real Artifact Refining Master?

Huang Lingshan was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "There are quite a few cultivators with high attainment in the Artifact Refining Dao."

"However, artifact refining values materials more, and without good materials, even an Artifact Refining Master can’t create anything good."

"Even for a clever housewife, it is hard to cook without rice."

In Danzhou, no matter how skilled an Artifact Refining Master is, they can’t turn decay into magic.

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an hesitated for a moment, then approached the open space in front of the Bamboo Forest Hut and gently patted the Storage Bag on his waist.

The Storage Bag flashed with light, and a huge object suddenly appeared on that open space!

It was the headless Flood Dragon Corpse at the Golden Core Realm he had obtained in Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Seeing this suddenly, a look of surprise flashed across Huang Lingshan’s face, then her eyes slightly squinted, and her expression seemed a bit off.

Noticing her expression just as he was about to speak, Shen Wen’an asked in confusion, "What’s wrong, Senior Sister?"

Huang Lingshan walked slowly to the Flood Dragon Corpse, gently stroking its black and red scales.

After a long while, she finally spoke, "It’s nothing."

"Where did you get such a complete Golden Core Realm Flood Dragon Corpse?"

"Where is its head?"

Shen Wen’an, without any concealment, directly explained the origin of the Flood Dragon Corpse.

"Its head was probably taken by the killer; only the body was left at the scene."

Upon hearing this, Huang Lingshan sighed inwardly, turned, and said, "Using this as material is indeed worth inviting an Artifact Refining Master."

"However, to refine a superior Magical Artifact, just one Flood Dragon Corpse is far from enough."

After some hesitation, she looked at Shen Wen’an, "In that case, Senior Sister will take you to meet someone."

With that, Huang Lingshan waved her hand to put the Flood Dragon Corpse into the Storage Bag.

Shen Wen’an didn’t mind this at all.

The two of them traveled northward and soon arrived at a strange mountain, where the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was noticeably more abundant.

The distant mountains were beautiful and surrounded by a forest of peculiar peaks.

Standing on a sword in the void, Shen Wen’an could see that among the distant hills, many pavilions were cleverly hidden within the mountains and forests. Between the pavilions and towers, there were exquisite wooden paths and ladders interconnected, with flying waterfalls and tall ancient trees, presenting a vibrant scene.

"Senior Sister, is this... the influence of an Immortal Sect?"

During the wait, Shen Wen’an asked in confusion.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi here was clearly much denser than in ordinary places in Danzhou.

The numerous buildings between the mountains indicated it was a relatively powerful Immortal Sect’s Mountain Gate.

"This mountain is named Celestial Monarch Mountain."

Huang Lingshan replied with a light smile.

Celestial Monarch Mountain?

One of the Danzhou Upper Three Sects, Celestial Monarch Mountain?

Just as inner amazement rose in Shen Wen’an, he saw a figure wearing a loose purple robe, with white hair and beard, slowly flying over from a peak shrouded in clouds.

As the figure approached, he greeted with a smile, "So it’s Fellow Daoist Lingshan."

"What wind blew Fellow Daoist to my Celestial Monarch Mountain?"

Huang Lingshan saluted in return, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"This is my Junior Brother, Wen’an."

"Junior Brother Wen’an, this is Elder Zhang Qingjing of Celestial Monarch Mountain."

Shen Wen’an immediately saluted.

"Greetings, Senior."

As Zhang Qingjing looked at him with a smile, there was a sudden shock in his heart.

The Daoist tradition of Celestial Monarch Mountain is considered unique within the Immortal Dao.

Within the core inheritance of their sect, there is a Secret Technique known as the [Soul-Slaying Sword].

This Secret Technique once made Celestial Monarch Mountain shine brightly in the Cultivation Realm, but unfortunately, Celestial Monarch Mountain later underwent a change, and the Secret Technique [Soul-Slaying Sword] was almost destroyed, nearly severing this inheritance.

Later, several high-ranking members of Celestial Monarch Mountain who cultivated the [Soul-Slaying Sword] spent tremendous efforts to successfully revive the Secret Technique.

However, since then, the disciples of the sect have been unable to condense the "Wisdom Sword" to master the complete Secret Technique.

Without the Wisdom Sword, the power of the [Soul-Slaying Sword] was greatly diminished and extremely difficult to cultivate, causing it to be gradually abandoned by many disciples of the sect.
