Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 263 Unveiling the Past (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)
Having glimpsed Shen Chongxu's memories, the human woman who was the manifestation of the extraterrestrial demon was exactly the perfect image in Shen Chongxu's mind.

When Shen Chongxu, who had just woken up, saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

moment--

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Shen Chongxu snapped out of his daze and calmly said, "I spent over a hundred years of my lifespan to undo the [Demon's Descent] secret technique. Do you intend to repay kindness with enmity?"

Upon hearing this, the extraterrestrial demon swayed his waist and slowly walked over.

"If I wanted to repay kindness with enmity, would I have waited until now?"

Changing the subject abruptly, he circled in front of Shen Chongxu's soul, his long sleeves fluttering lightly as he said with a faint smile, "What, you don't like this image of mine?"

"This is the most perfect form that I have created based on the deepest thoughts hidden in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxu narrowed his eyes instantly, a murderous intent flashing through his mind!
"You've spied on my memories!?"

The extraterrestrial demon was not angry upon seeing this, and still smiled faintly, saying, "With your current strength, if you really dare to make a move, I can devour your soul in an instant."

Seeing that Shen Chongxu had no intention of making a move, she continued, "I have discovered that your previous life was truly quite interesting."

"After everything you've been through, how can you still be so stupid?"

Shen Chongxu slightly suppressed his murderous intent and said coldly, "Do you think it's foolish of me to release you at the cost of my lifespan?"

The extraterrestrial demon looked surprised: "Isn't that so?"

"I am the Heavenly Demon, the natural enemy of all living beings with souls and consciousness."

Shen Chongxu smiled faintly upon hearing this: "If that's the case, then why didn't you take advantage of my weakened state when my lifespan was damaged to devour my soul?"

This question left the extraterrestrial demon before him stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.

Yes!

Why didn't I devour his soul just now?

When the extraterrestrial demons examined their own consciences, they felt somewhat irritated.

After a brief standoff, Shen Chongxu sighed and said, "No matter what, you saved me at Canaan Temple, and indirectly saved the Shen family as well."

"If it weren't for you, the blessings and fortune of my Shen family would probably have been greatly drained by that Nine-Leaf Bodhi, and I myself might have been completely drained by now."

"Although I am not a kind and sentimental person, I can still distinguish between right and wrong. Now, I am sacrificing a hundred years of my lifespan to undo the [Demon's Descent] secret technique in order to repay this debt of gratitude."

"I have a clear conscience, you may leave."

The extraterrestrial demon tilted its head and quietly watched him, listening to him finish speaking.

With its abilities, it was naturally able to easily sense that Shen Chongxu's words were not laced with any affectation or lies.

His words came from the bottom of his heart.

"So it really is stupid, but it's a kind of interesting stupidity."

"I'm also very interested in the Shen family behind you..."

After saying this, it ignored Shen Chongxu and waved its hand.

In an instant, his sea of ​​consciousness surged, and a large amount of purplish-black mist condensed around him!

In the blink of an eye, a round platform that was extremely similar to the spiritual platform under Shen Chongxu's soul suddenly took shape.

The extraterrestrial demon lightly touched the ground with its toes and then landed on the round platform, sitting down cross-legged.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chongming frowned deeply.

"you……"

"My true name..."

The extraterrestrial demon interrupted him, paused slightly, and continued as if having made up his mind:

“He Yi Nita”.

"Human, you may address me as King He Yi from now on."

Shen Chongxu frowned slightly and murmured, "What a strange name."

"Judging from your appearance, are you planning to settle in my sea of ​​consciousness?"

A sly smile appeared on He Yi's face as he calmly said, "It's rare to encounter such an interesting human. I'm not in a hurry to leave."

"Don't worry, just go about your business. I won't bother you."

"Just pretend I don't exist."

After saying this, it closed its eyes and sat quietly cross-legged.

When you don't exist?
Shen Chongxu shook his head with a wry smile.

How could he pretend that a celestial demon with unpredictable thoughts was sitting cross-legged in his sea of ​​consciousness?
but……

Judging from the current situation, this extraterrestrial demon named He Yi doesn't seem to have any intention of harming me.

He had no way to forcibly drive it away.

Let's just leave it there for now and see if there are any other solutions later.

As his consciousness returned to his body, Shen Chongxu opened his eyes and saw a stunningly beautiful face, slightly worried, almost pressed against his own.

He paused for a moment, then leaned back slightly, frowning as he asked, "Why are you standing so close to me?"

Wu Qianrou quickly took a step back and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, please forgive me, this servant..."

"I sense a strange power within Master, and I am worried that Master may be in danger."

Shen Chongxu's divine sense swept over He Yitian Demon, who was like a lifelike statue in his sea of ​​consciousness, and waved his hand, saying, "I am fine."

"How long has this seclusion lasted?"

Wu Qianrou didn't speak, but still looked at him with a worried expression.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chongxu frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wu Qianrou glanced at his long, gray hair and replied with a wronged expression, "This servant can sense that Master is very weak, but Master is unwilling to tell this servant what happened..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxu realized that he had lost over a hundred years of his lifespan, and his body was depleted of vital energy and blood, making weakness inevitable.

He caught a glimpse of the gray hair that fell to his shoulders out of the corner of his eye, and sighed, "I only lost a little of my lifespan, but I'm fine now."

How many days did I spend in seclusion this time?

Wu Qianrou bowed and replied, "It has been more than a month."

More than a month?

Shen Chongxu's thoughts shifted, and he said, "Go and fetch Dong Yunbao. I have something to ask him."

The members of Bai Xuanjiao now all know of Wu Shi Qianrou's existence.

However, they were unaware of Wu Shi Qianrou's identity as a spirit, only knowing that Shen Chongxu had used some secret method to refine this princess of Fushan Kingdom into a puppet.

"Yes, Master."

After bowing, Wu Qianrou slowly withdrew.

……

Danzhou Barrier.

Shen Wen'an's figure passed through the barrier and appeared in front of the boulder where Luo Tianxing was.

"What are you doing here again, kid?"

Luo Tianxing didn't open his eyes, but spoke calmly.

Shen Wen'an respectfully cupped his hands and said, "This junior has come here because there is something I would like to discuss with you, senior."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing slowly opened his eyes, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Little fellow, I admit that I admire you."

"You may know that I have someone backing your Shen family, but some things are not as simple as you think."

"There are too many things involved behind Yangnao Land. At critical moments, let alone your Shen family, even a few of us old guys could become pawns."

Hearing this, Shen Wen'an was slightly surprised.

Is it possible for even a Nascent Soul True Monarch to become a discarded pawn?
He understood that Luo Tianxing was actually telling him not to think too highly of himself, and not to think that the Shen family held any important position in Xu Xiu's eyes.

In critical moments, Xu Xiu might even abandon a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so Shen Jiazhen is nothing compared to him.

The reason for his repeated attempts to befriend me was probably due to a karmic connection from years ago, or perhaps some kind of friendship.

With this thought in mind, Shen Wen'an understood that it was clearly impossible to get the other party to agree based on personal relationships.

"I know my own limitations and those of the Shen family."

"I have come here to make a deal with you, senior. I wonder if you would be interested?"

transaction?

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing flashed and instantly stood in front of Shen Wen'an.

"At my level, what you consider valuable may not even catch my eye."

"A deal is possible, but let me see your assets first."

Shen Wen'an cupped his hands slightly and said, "I didn't bring any chips with me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Good lad, you're wary of this old man."

Seeing that he was a little angry, Shen Wen'an quickly explained, "Please forgive me, senior. It's not that I don't trust you, but I simply can't bring that thing with me."

Hearing this, Luo Tianxing's curiosity was indeed piqued.

"With your cultivation at the Golden Core Sword Immortal realm, what could possibly render you powerless... perhaps a rare object like the Dao Source Law?"

Shen Wen'an immediately cupped his hands and said, "Senior has keen insight. What I am describing is indeed a manifestation of a spiritual being."

These old guys who have lived for hundreds of years are indeed very knowledgeable.

I only mentioned it briefly, and the other party immediately guessed that it was a rare artifact governed by laws.

Luo Tianxing was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

“I am indeed somewhat interested in spiritual transformations. Tell me your requirements.”

His statement clearly indicated that he acknowledged the bargaining chips offered by Shen Wen'an.

However, this bargaining chip doesn't seem to be of much value to him.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Wen'an analyzed the current situation in Yangnao Land and then shared his thoughts.

"Senior should know that my Shen family has no chance of withstanding the siege of those Southern Frontier forces. The only option now is to ask for outside help."

"The Shen family has some connections with the Qingluo Sword Pavilion in Danzhou. I wonder if this spiritual entity could be of some use to your advantage, senior..."

Meeting Shen Wen'an's slightly expectant gaze, Luo Tianxing smiled faintly and shook her head.

"To tell you the truth, I am all alone, with no clan or power behind me. The value of your spiritual manifestation is, at most, something I can turn a blind eye to and let you pass."

"As for letting the Azure Vine Sword Pavilion enter the Yangnao Land, the value of a spiritual entity is far from enough."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen'an frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected that the spiritual manifestations would be so worthless in the other party's eyes.

Seeing his expression, Luo Tianxing smiled and stroked his beard.

"Little fellow, do you think that if people at our level truly valued the manifestation of spiritual essence, would the spiritual essence of this Yangnao Land still be available to juniors like you?"

"It's only because that old man from the Patching Heaven Sect has some powerful backing that he would disregard his reputation and take away that [Heavenly Golden Light]."

"The rest of them all keep to themselves, but they can't bring themselves to compete with the younger generation for spiritual treasures."

Shen Wen'an carefully considered the information revealed in Luo Tianxing's words and instantly realized a crucial issue.

He and his father, Shen Yuanben, were worried that once the stone pebbles at the bottom of the lava lake in Flame Lake City were exposed, it would attract the attention of forces like the Nascent Soul True Monarch sect, such as the Heaven-Mending Sect.

Judging from Luo Tianxing's words, it seems that Huaying Zhenjun will not try to seize the spiritual essence.

This means that the strongest potential enemy the Shen family needs to face is the Purple Mansion.

and……

Luo Tianxing kept saying that they weren't interested in the spiritual manifestations of Yangnao Land, but the black cauldron was actually the manifestation of the spiritual essence of one of the three immortal mountains.

"Senior, are you only not very interested in the spiritual beings of Yangnao Land, or are you like this with all spiritual beings?"

Thinking of this, Shen Wen'an suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately waved his hand to unleash a stream of spiritual energy that sealed off the surrounding space.

"Boy, are you saying that the spiritual artifact in your hand isn't from Yangnao Land?"

It was quite obvious that Luo Tianxing was tempted at this moment.

Seeing this, Shen Wen'an vaguely sensed that there was hope for the deal again.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "To be honest, senior, I don't think that thing is a manifestation of the spirit of Yangnao Land."

Shen Wen'an did not give a definite answer, fearing that if he guessed wrong, it would cause this Nascent Soul True Monarch too much of a disappointment, thus making him resentful towards him and the Shen family.

Luo Tianxing seemed to see through his little scheme. After a change of expression, he smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to play tricks on me, kid."

"Tell me, where exactly does that spiritual entity come from?"

After a moment's thought, Shen Wen'an cupped his hands and said, "This junior believes that the spirit-transformed object is related to the Three Immortal Mountains."

“As expected…” Luo Tianxing murmured upon hearing this, “A spiritual entity that could appear in Yangnao Land is most likely from the Three Immortal Mountains…”

His eyes flickered several times before he finally said resolutely, "Take this old man to see."

"If it is truly the spirit of the Three Immortals Mountain, then I will agree to what you just said."

Clearly, the spiritual manifestations of the Three Immortal Mountains are far more important to Luo Tianxing than those of the Yangnao Land.

As for the specific reasons, Shen Wen'an didn't quite understand them at the moment.

Moreover, Luo Tianxing was clearly in a hurry, so he didn't ask too many questions.

"Senior, please follow me..."

"No need for all that trouble, just tell me the location."

Luo Tianxing interrupted him.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wen'an did not hesitate and directly mentioned Huai Sang County.

The next moment, a large hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Having reached the Golden Core Sword Immortal realm, he only felt a shift in light and shadow around him, and the next moment, his figure had already arrived above Huai Sang County in Yang Nao Land.

Such miraculous methods shocked him greatly.

"The Nascent Soul True Monarch realm already possesses the ability to skillfully utilize the power of laws. My Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique is a method of utilizing laws."

"This is Huai Sang County, isn't it?"

After explaining in a deep voice, Luo Tianxing glanced down at the rolling mountains and forests.

After confirming his current location, Shen Wen'an cupped his hands and said, "This way, senior."

The two transformed into streaks of light and swiftly headed towards the location of Situ Jing's cave.

A moment later, the two arrived above the location of the black cauldron.

"There are actually two large formations here that conceal their aura?"

The array plate, which Pei Zhao called the "foundation of Qiyun Valley," was clearly no match for a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Luo Tianxing discovered the existence of the concealment array as soon as he arrived.

"Senior, wait a moment."

Fearing that Luo Tianxing might destroy the array plates in his haste, Shen Wen'an quickly spoke while rushing down to retrieve the two array plates into his storage bag.

Without the cover of the great formation, the hundred-mile-long crater left behind by his absorption of the strange little tree was revealed to Luo Tianxing.

"Sword Intent..."

"You're the one who did this?"

Sensing the lingering sword intent and energy within the crater, Luo Tianxing looked over with a strange expression.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wen'an's heart sank.

Situ Jing brought back two spiritual beings back then.

That sapling has now been refined by him.

Given the old man's high regard for the spirit of the Three Immortals Mountain, Shen Wen'an was somewhat worried that the other party might be greedy and try to snatch the sapling that he had refined.
"Heh... Scared?"

Luo Tianxing suddenly chuckled and said, "You're still too green, kid."

"The cultivation world is a place where people eat each other."

"If I were to be even slightly greedy today, your life, and even the Shen family behind you, would be wiped out by me with a flick of my wrist."

"Today, I'll use this opportunity to teach you a lesson."

"Only transactions can take place between people of equal strength to you."

"Against someone stronger than you, what you're doing today is tantamount to suicide."

"Morality is subjective; don't gamble your life and your family's reputation on someone's kindness. Be moral."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen'an broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that Luo Tianxing was right.

Cultivators defy the heavens, contending with the heavens, the earth, and humanity. When faced with certain supreme treasures, morality becomes utterly worthless.

"Thank you for your teachings, senior!"

Shen Wen'an bowed respectfully to Luo Tianxing.

His words of thanks, besides their ostensible meaning, were also a way of thanking Luo Tianxing for letting him and the Shen family go.

Luo Tianxing nodded, then flashed to the bottom of the pit and examined the black cauldron at the bottom.

"Indeed, it is the spirit of Beichen Immortal Mountain."

"You should step back a little while I take it away."

Shen Wen'an cupped his hands in greeting, then flashed away from the large pit, standing in the void, wanting to see how Luo Tianxing would collect the black cauldron.

However, the next moment, the pit flickered and the pit, which was a hundred miles in diameter, suddenly disappeared, turning into a normal mountain forest.

Shen Wen'an stood in the void, only able to vaguely sense a terrifying aura emanating from the area below the crater.

A moment later, a flash of light appeared, and Luo Tianxing's figure appeared beside him.

"You succeeded, senior?"

Luo Tianxing nodded with a happy expression, then waved his hand and sent a burst of spiritual energy downwards.

In an instant, the surrounding rocks surged, and in just a few breaths, the huge pit, which was a hundred miles in diameter, was filled with churning rocks and soil.

“I have already removed the traces here.”

"Even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch finds this place in the future, he will not be able to see that this place has anything to do with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen'an bowed again to express his gratitude.

He knew that Luo Tianxing had helped him resolve his worries.

"Summon the spirit you have refined so that I may have a look."

After doing all this, he suddenly turned to look at Shen Wen'an and said.

Shen Wen'an didn't dare to hesitate and immediately stretched out his palm to activate the strange little sapling in his sea of ​​consciousness.

As the sapling appeared in Shen Wen'an's palm, Luo Tianxing nodded slightly and said, "Although it is not the most suitable for you, the primordial nature is the most docile of all spirits."

"Let's go."

He reached out and grabbed Shen Wen'an's shoulder, and the two of them vanished instantly.

When it reappeared, it was back in front of the giant rock at the barrier.

"I've taken the items, but there are still some requirements I need to tell you about the transaction."

As Luo Tianxing spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and he took out a black token.

"If Qingluo Sword Pavilion truly agrees to support the Shen family, then they will be allowed to use this item to pass through the barrier in the future." "Remember, tell Qingluo Sword Pavilion that if they dare to bring others into Yangnao Land, I will personally go and demand an explanation from them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen'an solemnly accepted the token.

At that moment, he vaguely understood that Luo Tianxing was guarding this place only to guard against certain people.

The reason for issuing a statement prohibiting anyone from passing through the barrier is simply because they are too lazy to check each case individually.

"Go."

Luo Tianxing waved his hand, then flashed back to the top of the boulder and sat down cross-legged.

Shen Wen'an cupped his hands in greeting and immediately flew off on his sword towards the direction of Qingluo Sword Pavilion.

Not long after his figure disappeared, the space in front of Luo Tianxing distorted, and then a voice came.

"Tianxing, you mustn't break the rules."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing smiled faintly and said, "Old man, in your plan, Qingluo Sword Pavilion will enter the fray sooner or later."

"I only accepted a small bribe to let them pass ahead of time. That doesn't count as breaking the rules, does it?"

The voice in the void fell silent for a moment.

Luo Tianxing smiled faintly and said, "They are the ones stirring things up. The situation in Yangnao Land is developing a bit too fast."

"You don't want to see that little guy and the Shen family really wiped out, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the voice smiled faintly and sighed.

"I did spare their lives, but that young friend Shen is still the same as before, insisting on protecting Luoxia Mountain as well."

"Enough, enough. Back then, Zi Gui possessed that little girl from the Qingluo Sword Pavilion, but because he cherished her talent, he voluntarily let his soul dissipate, leaving only a wisp of golden essence to help her achieve her potential."

"If we can seize this opportunity, he should be able to break through to the Purple Mansion realm. This would be a great help to Zi Gui."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing asked in surprise, "Zi Gui escaped back then?"

"Then why did he..."

“They are different from you.”

“Especially Zi Gui, who always felt that I had wronged the Huanlong clan.”

"But if that madman hadn't secretly practiced the [Spirit Feeding] secret technique, causing the news to leak, how could the Great Ying Immortal Mansion have suffered such a severe blow?"

"You believe I was wrong, since I deserved to be punished?"

Luo Tianxing remained silent.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "I won't speak carelessly about matters between you two."

Changing the subject, he continued, "Have those Buddhist monks behind Canaan Temple made a move?"

The voice in the void fell silent once more.

"You don't need to worry about this matter; I've already taken precautions."

"Your main task is to keep a close eye on the Jiehuo Sect and the Underworld. Also... find a way to locate Zeduan; the Immortal Abode is still inside him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxing smiled wryly and said, "Old man, you're making things difficult for me."

"That fellow cultivates the [Deceitful Technique] and has an immortal abode within his body. Let alone me, even you yourself have come to Danzhou so many times, have you ever found him?"

"Both the Fire Calamity Sect and the Underworld have been searching for him for over a thousand years, yet they still haven't found anything."

The voice in the void paused for a moment, then sighed, "Do your best."

"If we really can't find it, at the last crucial moment, I will have no choice but to use that last resort."

As soon as he finished speaking, the distorted space slowly returned to normal.

Luo Tianxing's eyes were deep, then he chuckled and shook his head, slowly raising his palm.

A faint, ethereal light appeared in his palm, instantly transforming into a small, pitch-black cauldron.

"No wonder the old man has always been unwilling to sever his karmic ties with the Shen family."

"This cause and effect, once you get involved, can actually bring unexpected benefits."

"Very well, I'm indebted to the Shen family for this favor..."

……

Green Vine Sword Lodge, Yin Sword Peak.

When Shen Wen'an arrived, a figure dressed in a pale yellow dress was standing quietly on the edge of the cliff.

The setting sun cast countless golden rays, bathing his serene face in gold.

A pair of deep eyes reflected the setting sun, gazing at the azure sword light that was rapidly approaching from the distant sea of ​​clouds.

The sword light approached the thousand-foot cliff and suddenly transformed into Shen Wen'an's figure.

"Senior sister, it's been a long time."

Huang Lingshan turned slightly to the side, smiled and nodded.

"That senior really took good care of you."

"In the entire Danzhou and Yangnao region, you are probably the only one who can repeatedly cross the barrier and travel between the two places."

Shen Wen'an shook his head with a wry smile: "Senior sister is joking. I don't have that much influence."

"This time, we also paid a heavy price."

Huang Lingshan smiled faintly after hearing this, and did not ask any further questions. She turned around and walked slowly towards the bamboo forest not far away.

Shen Wenan followed quietly behind him.

The two sat down in front of the bamboo grove cottage, and Huang Lingshan suddenly produced a jade box with a flash of light in her hand.

"You've come at the perfect time. My senior sister just picked some tender leaves from the Tongtianjian bamboo on the summit a couple of days ago and made bamboo leaf tea."

As Huang Lingshan spoke, she took out a few bamboo leaves that exuded a strong sword aura from the jade box and placed them on the red clay stove next to her. Then she took some spiritual spring water and poured it into the stove to start brewing tea.

Shen Wen'an watched quietly.

A moment later, he suddenly remembered the gift he had thought of on the way here, and immediately took out three jade slips from his storage bag and placed them on the table in front of him.

Huang Lingshan glanced at the jade slip with some curiosity.

Meeting her gaze, Shen Wen'an cupped his hands and said, "A few years ago, on a whim, I went on a trip to sea."

"I was fortunate enough to encounter a Golden Core Flood Dragon. After drinking and chatting with him, I was given two pieces of jade carvings in the Daoist script."

As he spoke, he pushed two of the jade slips in front of Huang Lingshan, then picked up the other jade slip and said, "This is an ancient secret technique called [Demon's Descent]."

"This technique is extremely domineering, capable of forcibly attracting extraterrestrial demons to temper one's Dao heart, making it extremely dangerous."

After listening to his introduction, Huang Lingshan slowly picked up the two jade slips that were replicas of the "True Seal of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Cycle" and examined them carefully.

After putting down the two jade slips, she picked up the [Demon's Descent] secret technique.

"These items are valuable; you must have come here because you need my help, Senior Sister, for something important, right?"

After reading the three jade slips, Huang Lingshan smiled faintly and spoke.

Shen Wen'an cupped his hands somewhat embarrassedly: "I dare not hide it from you, Senior Sister, but I have come here with an important matter that I would like to ask Qingluo Sword Pavilion for help with."

"Oh?"

Noticing that Shen Wen'an said "please ask Qingluo Sword Pavilion for help" instead of "please ask Senior Sister for help," Huang Lingshan asked with some confusion, "How can Qingluo Sword Pavilion help you?"

Shen Wen'an hesitated for a moment before directly explaining the current situation in Yangnao Land.

Upon hearing this, Huang Lingshan's expression turned somewhat solemn as she asked, "So, you want the Azure Vine Sword Pavilion to go to the Yangnao Land?"

Seeing Shen Wen'an nod, Huang Lingshan looked thoughtful.

"This matter is no longer something that Senior Sister can decide alone."

"However, things haven't been peaceful in Danzhou lately either. The Suihuo Sect and the Yinhe Sect are now openly and undisguisedly interacting."

"Tianjun Mountain sent people to Qingluo Sword Lodge a few days ago, implying that they had the idea of ​​joining forces to deal with the impending crisis."

"It's really hard to say whether Qingluo Sword Pavilion can spare any manpower to go to Yangnao Land."

Huang Lingshan pointed out the current predicament of Danzhou.

Shen Wen'an's expression turned somewhat solemn upon hearing this.

"However, you don't need to worry. If what you say is true, the crisis in Yangnao Land mainly comes from several Golden Core and Purple Mansion forces. Qingluo Sword Pavilion can still help in some way."

"But the prerequisite is that senior must let my Qingluo Sword Pavilion people pass through."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen'an's face lit up with joy, and he immediately took out Luo Tianxing's token from his storage bag.

"That senior has already agreed."

"This token is his keepsake. Senior Sister can use this token to pass through the barrier."

"But that senior also said that the token is only allowed to be used by people from the Qingluo Sword Pavilion. If outsiders are brought along, he will come to the Qingluo Sword Pavilion in person to demand an explanation."

Huang Lingshan glanced at the token, then looked at Shen Wen'an and said, "For that senior to make such a big concession, it seems that the price you mentioned is indeed quite high."

Shen Wen'an cupped his hands in greeting: "A manifestation of a spiritual being."

Mentioning this matter, he suddenly frowned and asked, "If the Dao source of Yangnao Land is extracted, will Danzhou be affected?"

He hadn't considered this question before.

However, when he mentioned spirituality just now, he suddenly realized that Danzhou and Yangnao were too similar, and did not seem to be an independent world at all.

Huang Lingshan smiled slightly and said, "Senior sister thought you knew everything."

Shen Wen'an was stunned after hearing this.

Huang Lingshan continued, "Both have never had an unbroken lineage, and Danzhou is larger than the entire Yangnao Land. Do you know why no Nascent Soul True Monarch has been born yet?"

Is there no Nascent Soul True Monarch in Danzhou?

Shen Wen'an looked at Huang Lingshan with great surprise and asked, "Do the three upper sects of Danzhou really not have any Nascent Soul True Monarchs?"

Huang Lingshan picked up the bamboo leaf tea brewed on the small red clay stove, poured a full glass for herself and Shen Wen'an, and said in a deep voice, "There should be a Nascent Soul True Monarch in Danzhou at present."

"What you mean is that no cultivator from Danzhou has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"The reason for this is that Danzhou does not have the source of the Dao and is not a complete world like Yangnao Land."

These words immediately surprised Shen Wen'an even more.

He remembered that when he talked with Li Qing at sea, Li Qing had talked about world affairs.

The current Danzhou is clearly larger than the complete Yangnao land, so why is there no Dao source there?
Huang Lingshan sighed and said, "The specifics involve a very ancient era, and even I, your senior sister, am not very clear about them."

"You just need to understand that Danzhou is just a fragment of a complete world."

"For some reason, this fragment collided with the Yangnao Land and merged with it."

"In fact, Danzhou is essentially sharing the same Dao source with Yangnao."

Gently picking up the teacup in front of her, Huang Lingshan continued, "Since the Suihuo Sect and the Yinhe Sect joined forces to stir up a bloody storm in Qishan, the Qingluo Sword Pavilion has been secretly investigating the secrets behind it."

"The final result is that most of the immortal sects and forces in Danzhou today were founded by cultivators who were lucky enough to survive the great battle that broke out in Yangnao Land back then."

"And the local forces in Danzhou, namely the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty that Senior Sister mentioned to you before, were probably destroyed by the forces that fled from Yangnao Land."

At this moment, Shen Wen'an was extremely shocked.

He had always thought that Danzhou was a more powerful place than Yangnao.

Who would have thought that the Immortal Dynasty, which ruled the entire Danzhou, would be wiped out by a group of remnants who had miraculously survived the great battle in Yangnao Land?

If that's the case, how powerful must the Great Ying Immortal Mansion have been back then?
And how terrifying were those forces that destroyed the Great Ying Immortal Mansion?
"So, if the source of the Dao in Yangnao Land is really drawn away, causing the 'Dao Collapse' and destruction, what will happen to Danzhou? I don't know."

"But it probably won't be a good thing."

Shen Wen'an nodded.

Back then, Danzhou was merely a fragment of a world. For some reason, it was able to drift in the endless ocean and eventually collide with Yangnao Land, merging with it. This is enough to prove that this huge fragment that lost its source of Dao was by no means simple.

Perhaps, even if the source of the Dao in Yangnao Land is truly extracted and it is destroyed in the future, the entire Danzhou might still be able to break free and continue to drift at sea.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

After some thought, he realized that this idea could only be considered as a backup option.

If I gamble wrong, the entire Shen family will have nowhere to live.

"As you said, if no Nascent Soul Realm forces are involved in the events in Yangnao Land, Qingluo Sword Pavilion has enough power to deal with them."

"I will discuss this matter with the others on Yangjian Peak later."

"The chaos in Yangnao Land is, in a sense, also a huge opportunity."

"If we are lucky enough to gain something, it might even be able to further enhance the strength of the Azure Vine Sword Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen'an immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Having received Huang Lingshan's reply, he was finally able to put his mind at ease.

He picked up the spiritual tea in front of him and took a sip. He suddenly looked at Huang Lingshan and casually asked, "Senior Sister, I'm curious, how many Purple Mansion cultivators are there in the Azure Vine Sword Pavilion?"

According to Huang Lingshan, since Danzhou does not have a localized Nascent Soul True Monarch, then the three upper sects must have Purple Mansions.

Meeting his gaze, Huang Lingshan smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you the exact number."

"You only need to know that the power of the Azure Vine Sword Pavilion is sufficient."

Enough?

Shen Wen'an looked strange, but did not press the matter further.

The two drank tea quietly in the bamboo grove and chatted for a while before Shen Wen'an stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The situation in Yangnao is chaotic, and I dare not stay here for long. That's all for today. Senior Sister, please let me know if you have any news."

As he spoke, he took out a sound transmission stone and handed it to Huang Lingshan.

Huang Lingshan also took out a sound transmission stone and touched it with the sound transmission stone in her hand.

The two sound transmission stones instantly emitted a faint spiritual aura.

"Senior sister, farewell."

After putting away the communication stone, Shen Wen'an immediately transformed into a sword beam and flew away into the distance.

……

Yunshui City.

Ever since witnessing Zhao Tuan refine the array bead and construct an internal five-element cycle within his body, Shen Xiubai has been plunged into a kind of enlightenment.

At first, He Chongyi thought that Zhao Tuan's internal five elements circulation had given him some new ideas that he needed to comprehend.

He will wake up in a few days.

Who would have thought that Shen Xiubai's sudden enlightenment would last for more than a month.

If it weren't for the spirit-gathering array within his dantian constantly operating autonomously, drawing spiritual energy from the surroundings to sustain his own consumption...

With his cultivation level of only the fifth level of Qi Refining, if he were to sit in seclusion for more than a month without any preparation, his life force would probably be completely exhausted.

In order not to disturb his enlightenment and waste this rare opportunity, Shen Wenxing has ordered the entire room to be sealed off, prohibiting anyone from approaching.

On this day, the Shen family cultivators who were guarding outside the side room suddenly felt a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the side room behind them.

Just when they thought Shen Xiubai, who was in a state of enlightenment, had finally woken up, the fluctuation of his aura suddenly disappeared!
And the moment the strange aura disappeared, Shen Xiubai's aura also suddenly vanished from my senses!

The cultivator was stunned for a moment, then carefully sensed the surroundings. He realized that he could not detect any of Shen Xiubai's presence with his divine sense, and immediately panicked!

"Kong Yu, can you... still sense Young Master Xiu Bai's presence?"

His voice trembled as he looked at the young cultivator who was guarding the room with him and asked.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator named Kong Yu immediately and cautiously released his divine sense to carefully sense the situation.

A moment later, his expression suddenly changed drastically!

"Young Master Xiu Bai's spiritual aura and all his personal aura have disappeared!"

The two looked at each other and saw the shock and fear in each other's eyes!

The side room of the old house is located in the southeast corner of the courtyard. The entrance and exit are guarded by two people, and there are several other cultivators on the outside.

The two were certain that they had not heard any noise and that no one had entered the room.

But now, all of Shen Xiubai's aura has suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, causing them to panic instantly.

"I'll stay here and guard this place. Go and fetch the old patriarch and the others!"

Kong Yuqiang suppressed his panic and spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator dared not delay and immediately left to find Shen Wenxing.

A moment later, Shen Wenxing rushed over.

"Old Patriarch."

The monks at the door of the side room saw him and quickly bowed in greeting.

"what happened?"

Shen Wenxing spoke with a solemn expression.

He had now arrived at the door of the side room, and his divine sense could no longer detect Shen Xiubai's presence.

"Get out of the way!"

Anxious, he didn't wait for the cultivator to explain and pushed open the door to the side room.

Bang!
Pushing open the door, Shen Wenxing was caught off guard and bumped headfirst into an invisible array barrier as soon as he stepped inside!

Kong Yu and the others who rushed in after them also crashed into the light barrier, causing them to stumble.

When the group regained their footing, they found that Shen Xiubai was still sitting perfectly fine in the room.

Its body was surrounded by a large number of array materials, each of which was engraved with extremely complex array patterns.

These array patterns shimmered with a faint halo, and the power of the five elements flowed quietly within the light shield, like a completely independent little world!
The group bumped into the light barrier one after another, and the noise they made startled Shen Xiubai, who was frowning and deep in thought inside.

Upon seeing Shen Wenxing arrive, he immediately waved his hand and opened a gap in the light shield.

Shen Wenxing, Kong Yu, and the others carefully stepped into the array's protective barrier, and suddenly discovered an extremely strange feeling within the array.

"It feels like I've entered another dimension..."

"There's something about this formation that I can't quite put my finger on!"

The two looked around, but Shen Wenxing didn't have time to worry about anything else.

He went straight to Shen Xiubai and asked with concern, "Kid, are you alright?"

A faint smile appeared on Shen Xiubai's thin, pale face as he shook his head and said, "Grandpa, Xiubai is fine."

He slowly stood up, looked at the array around him, and then cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa, please prepare an open space for Xiu Bai in the back mountain, and don't let anyone disturb him."

"In addition, we need to have someone prepare more spiritual materials for these formations for Xiu Bai."

"Xiu Bai will send the list to Grandpa shortly."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing finally realized what was happening.

Looking around and examining the strange formation, he asked in confusion, "What kind of formation is this?"

"Why do I have this indescribable feeling while I'm here?"

Shen Xiubai smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa, please forgive me, Xiubai cannot tell you right now."

After waving his hand to collect all the spiritual materials in the room into his storage bag, Shen Xiubai cupped his hands and said, "Xiubai is going to see Great-Grandfather. I'll leave the matter from earlier to Great-Grandfather."

Watching him leave the room, Shen Wenxing frowned slightly and muttered, "That brat, he was acting all mysterious, he almost scared the old man to death!"

"Alright, don't tell anyone about what happened here."

"It's all gone."

Although he didn't understand what kind of formation Shen Xiubai had just set up.

But if even you can't say it, then it must be very important.

After giving instructions to Kong Yu and the others, Shen Wenxing left the room.
