Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

It was mentioned that at the barrier between Danzhou and Yangnao Land, there is a mysterious powerful figure blocking the only passage between the two places.

This strong figure is suspected to be a Nascent Soul True Monarch, who once pointed a finger and killed a Golden Core Cultivator from the Yinhe Sect.

The purpose of the communication is to ask Shen Chongming to make a trip and bring back his gains from Danzhou.

Shen Wenxing looked at his son in confusion and then at his father, asking, "Father, what happened?"

Shen Chongming briefly explained and then took out the Storage Bag.

After taking out everything inside, he found the Jade Scroll mentioned by Shen Wen’an.

Through the message in the Jade Scroll, he also learned the secret of the [Soul-Slaying Sword] and the other Jade Scrolls given by Huang Lingshan.

"Father, how were your gains from the closed cultivation this time?"

After handing over everything neatly organized to his grandfather Shen Yuan, Shen Chongming eagerly asked.

After four years of closed cultivation, his father’s blood qi aura was noticeably stronger, indicating he must have gained significantly.

Shen Wenxing smiled lightly, saying, "Your grandfather was just asking, and I hadn’t had the chance to say it, yet you came."

Putting away his smile, he spoke seriously, "During this closed cultivation, my body cultivation realm has reached the Peak of Third Realm, and should be able to contend with Immortal Dao Cultivators in the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing."

The Peak of Third Realm for a Body Cultivator roughly equals the Middle to Late Stage of Fetal Breathing for an Immortal Dao Cultivator.

But unlike Immortal Dao Cultivators, the strength gap between Body Cultivators of the same realm can often be as wide as the heavens and the earth.

For the same Peak of Third Realm, some Body Cultivators may only equate to the Early Stage of Fetal Breathing of Immortal Dao Cultivators, or even less.

While some Peak of Third Realm Body Cultivators can compare to Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, even Fetal Breathing Perfection.

Although Shen Wenxing hadn’t attempted it yet, he faintly felt his current strength shouldn’t be weaker than some Late Stage of Fetal Breathing cultivators.

"Besides, I also comprehended a Secret Skill."

Speaking of this Secret Skill, Shen Wenxing’s face showed obvious confidence.

"I named this Secret Skill [True Blood Skill]."

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of his father and son, Shen Wenxing smiled and explained, "This Secret Skill is still not considered perfected."

"According to my deduction, if this Secret Skill can reach its complete form, it could temporarily transform oneself using the special bloodline within some demon beasts, granting one their powerful physique, and even utilizing some special bloodline abilities."

Shen Wenxing was visibly excited when talking about his vision for the [True Blood Skill].

Unfortunately, despite his lengthy deduction, all he could do now was use the ’True Blood’ contained in demon beast flesh to strengthen himself.

He couldn’t achieve the envisioned transformation into the true form of a demon beast.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yuan spoke, "The vision for this skill should not be a problem."

"Body cultivation was originally created by the ancient ancestors of the Human Race to mimic those powerful demon beasts and Divine Beasts in heaven and earth as a cultivation technique."

"If you can achieve this, it would also count as advancing the development of body cultivation dao tradition."

"Take your time, no need to rush."

Starting is always the hardest part.

Though the body cultivation dao tradition has become a well-established system, it still lacks clarity in deeper cultivation directions.

Just as Lu Zhiyuan and Shen Wenyan created the ’Nine Apertures of the Literary Heart’ system for Literary Dao.

Over the past century, many Literary Dao cultivators under Shen Family’s rule, along with Lu Zhiyuan and Shen Chongxuan, have been continually perfecting this system.

A dao tradition requires countless people to tirelessly research from its inception to perfection before it can infinitely approach perfection.

Shen Chongming nodded, saying, "The big harvest has just passed, the next ten years should be a good opportunity for our Shen Family’s development."

"Do you and grandfather have any suggestions?"

Looking eagerly at the two, Shen Chongming spoke with anticipation.

But Shen Wenxing and Shen Yuan looked at each other and chuckled, "Your dad and grandpa have nothing to say."

"Don’t forget the rules, don’t come to us unless you have nothing better to do."

Shen Chongming’s face suddenly fell.

Shen Yuan chuckled, saying, "Feel free to act, that’s the trust your grandpa and dad have in you."

Shen Chongming heard this and smiled bitterly, cupping his hands, saying, "Then I must thank you both."

After saying this, he drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, stood up, and said, "Father, Grandpa, you chat, I’ll go attend to matters first."

With the two’s smiling gazes sending him off, Shen Chongming left Black Water Pavilion.

Upon returning to the manor, he saw Shen Li approaching.

"Brother Chongming."

Upon seeing him, Shen Li in a Moon White Long Skirt bowed, then her face turned slightly gloomy as she whispered:

"Something happened over at Clan Court."

"Oh?"

Shen Chongming immediately responded in a serious tone, "Speak in detail in the side room."

The siblings went to the side room and sat down, Shen Li began to speak softly, "The direct son and daughter of the Young Clan Leader from Xingyang Liu Family have gone missing."

The Young Clan Leader’s son and daughter from the Liu Family have gone missing?

"Was it reported by the Liu Family?" After pondering slightly, Shen Chongming asked.

Shen Li’s face showed a hint of coldness.

"If they had reported it, Li’Er wouldn’t be worried."

"Turns out it was secretly discovered by a disciple from the Clan Court."

"Li’Er specially asked people from the Clan Court to hint to the subordinate families, requesting statistics on missing and casualties among the common people and clansmen under their rule."

"But the Liu Family chose to hide and not report."

Hearing this, Shen Chongming narrowed his eyes slightly, gently stroking the wooden chair’s armrest.

"If I remember correctly, when the teacher presided over the Clan Court back then, he also discovered two promising direct lines from the Liu Family died unnaturally."

"The Liu Family Patriarch similarly chose not to report."

"What are they trying to do?"

After some thought, Shen Li sneered, saying, "Such tricks fear they aren’t trying to secretly retain some bloodlines for the Liu Family."
