Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 425 - 213: Golden Core Flood Dragon Corpse
In the small courtyard, the father, son, and paternal grandson sat together.
In Wei Qiuling’s arms, the slightly over three-year-old Shen Chongzhen curiously looked at his father in a blue-brown long robe, as if looking at a stranger.
Shen Wen’an looked at the little guy, forced a smile, and slowly opened his arms.
The little guy looked up at his mother Wei Qiuling, then at Shen Wen’an, and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Chongming, who was beside him, chuckled and said, "Third Uncle has been in seclusion for so long, Zhen doesn’t recognize you."
Wei Qiuling also smiled, held her son’s cheek, and then turned to Shen Yuan and said, "Father, you and Chongming chat with Wen’an, I’ll take Chongzhen to see Mother."
Shen Yuan nodded.
Wei Qiuling then picked up Shen Chongzhen and walked out of the courtyard.
"Third Uncle, how did your seclusion go this time?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
In the corridor, Shen Chongming asked curiously.
Shen Wen’an had been in seclusion for three years and had now emerged, yet his aura had not strengthened much, which truly puzzled people.
"I have comprehended a secret technique, but it is not yet perfected."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
Not perfected?
The White Jade Turtle Shell had previously indicated that only flawless innate divine powers could be imprinted into the bloodline.
The [Guardian Sword Bone] had already been imprinted into the bloodline, so there couldn’t possibly be any flaws.
"Wen’an, what did you comprehend, and what is still lacking?"
After a brief contemplation, Shen Yuan asked.
Shen Wen’an was slightly taken aback as he looked at his father.
He wasn’t intentionally hiding anything from his father and nephew.
He just thought that the secret technique he had comprehended during seclusion seemed uniquely suited to him and would likely be of little use to others.
Since his father had asked, he took a moment to organize his thoughts and said:
"The secret technique I comprehended is called ’Guardian Sword Bone.’ It can absorb Golden Essence Essence Qi and some special substances, and refine them along with the Sword Bone within oneself to forge a Sword Bone Magical Sword."
"As for its specific effects, I haven’t tried it yet, so I can’t say for sure."
After some consideration, he continued, "I have a feeling that once the Sword Bone Magical Sword is forged, I might have the ability to contend with a Golden Core Cultivator."
The [Guardian Sword Bone] originated from his Sword Cultivator aptitude and the Yin Qi on the Magic Sword.
Before this, he had initially planned to forcibly use his Sword Embryo as a medium to condense his realm onto the Dragon Soul Magical Sword.
But it was clear that this approach wouldn’t work; by the end of his cultivation, the situation had spiraled out of control.
Just as he was about to suffer backlash from the realm, he suddenly felt a supreme and mysterious message pouring into his Sea of Consciousness.
With the help of that supreme and mysterious information, he had a sudden epiphany and comprehended the secret technique [Guardian Sword Bone].
That eerie Yin Qi had the ability to counter the power of Golden Core experts.
The [Guardian Sword Bone] was comprehended by combining this Yin Qi, and once the Sword Bone Magical Sword was forged, it would naturally have the capability to counter Golden Core Cultivators.
However, the chasm between Fetal Breathing and Golden Core is not easily crossed; he merely speculated that perhaps he could exchange a blow or two with a Golden Core Cultivator.
Surviving against a Golden Core Cultivator seemed unlikely.
Shen Yuan nodded slightly after listening.
He already had some understanding of the power of this [Guardian Sword Bone]’s divine power.
The three chatted casually for a while, and then Shen Wen’an looked at Shen Chongming and said, "I urgently need Golden Essence Essence Qi and some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to cultivate the Sword Bone Magical Sword."
"Earlier, Zhongyi and Mu Chang discovered a Magma Lake near the Western Wilderness Muhe Tribe’s gathering place that contains a lot of Golden Essence Fire Qi."
"There is nothing major happening at home currently; I plan to check out that Magma Lake."
Shen Chongming didn’t say anything, he turned to look at Shen Yuan beside him.
Shen Yuan contemplated briefly before saying, "Go, but be careful."
"The entire Western Wilderness is still under the control of those demon cultivators at Great Witch Mountain."
"Don’t worry, Father," Shen Wen’an nodded, a trace of confidence flashing in his eyes.
With his current strength, unless faced with multiple cultivators at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm or an attack by Great Demons, he should be able to retreat safely.
Bowing slightly to the two, Shen Wen’an took a step out, transformed into a streak of sword light, and left Yunshui City.
...
Western Wilderness.
On the vast grassland, in a grand courtyard, several powerful figures were gathered in a heated argument.
This courtyard was originally built by Hundred Beasts Mountain when they controlled the Western Wilderness.
After Hundred Beasts Mountain was destroyed and Qiyun Valley took over most of the Western Wilderness, this place became one of their strongholds on the Western Wilderness Grassland.
With the invasion of the Southern Border, Qiyun Valley withdrew from Yangnao Land, and this place became a paradise for the Great Demons of Great Witch Mountain.
Among the many Great Demons of Great Witch Mountain who came here, only those at the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing or higher were qualified to live in this courtyard.
Currently, the figures gathered here in argument were all Transformed Great Demons at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm.
"Fushan Country finally can’t hold back anymore!"
"The Shen Family’s five city walls, that Yunshui City is sure to be the hardest nut to crack; we better avoid it when the time comes."
"Avoid it? Do you all really believe what that old man from Fushan Country said?"
Among them, a neatly dressed middle-aged man with impeccably combed hair sneered.
Hearing this, the rest were stunned.
"Commander Lan, what do you mean by that?"
"We’ve already accepted the gifts that old man brought and promised him, are we going to go back on our word?"
"Even we demon cultivators have a reputation; it wouldn’t sound good if it spread..."
After a moment of silence, an exceptionally burly, white-haired elder spoke in a deep voice.
