Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 565 - 236: Defying Heaven, Part 2

Could it be...

As his gaze turned toward the mysterious mist surrounding him, Shen Wen’an suddenly realized that the mist had a familiar energy.

"It’s Ah Die’s Power of Great Derivation!"

Shocked in his heart, the Celestial Gate in the void opened wide once more, streams of golden light slowly flowed out, descending toward Yunshui City.

Shen Wen’an could no longer care about anything else and immediately connected his Divine Sense to the Void Celestial Gate, directly seizing a large mass of pure spiritual power from it.

Yet, just at that moment, the mist surrounding him began to dissipate rapidly.

An intense sense of crisis surged into his heart!

Shen Wen’an felt that in the depths of his soul, an awakening existence from beyond the distant Celestial Gate was reviving, carrying boundless wrath, rushing through time and space to kill with speed!

This hair-raising, soul-trembling crisis quickly extinguished his greed for the Flawless Golden Core, and he swiftly withdrew his Divine Sense, forcibly scattering the Power of Great Derivation around him!

The instant the Power of Great Derivation disappeared, the Celestial Gate that was wide open in the void slammed shut and disappeared into the void.

Boom!

A sound like a muffled thunder suddenly resounded from the void, echoing throughout the Yangnao Land, even reaching all cultivators far in the Southern Border who heard this terrifying sound and looked up toward the sky in amazement.

But after this sound, no other anomalies appeared in the sky.

In Yunshui City, Shen Wen’an refined the last heap of pure spiritual power he had seized from the Celestial Gate into his Inner Core but found regretfully that his Inner Core still hadn’t reached the flawless level.

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, he immediately took out over a thousand Spirit Crystals from his Storage Bag, shattered these crystals completely, and devoured the Spiritual Qi within them.

With the replenishment from these thousand Spirit Crystals, the Golden Core in his Dantian finally achieved a unified and complete state.

In the void above Yunshui City, the clouds of auspicious and blissful energy, along with the scattering golden lotuses, all gradually converged, transforming into a strand of energy filled with divine and immortal aura, slowly descending to the small courtyard.

The energy easily penetrated the roof of the secret room, passed through Shen Wen’an’s flesh, and fell into his Dantian.

At this moment, Shen Wen’an’s body was illuminated by this strand of golden nature, and every inch of his blood and flesh, every cell, demonstrated a joyful and elated emotion under the radiance of the golden nature.

Immortal Golden Nature acquired.

Next, it’s time to integrate the golden nature into the Inner Core, and he could then truly be considered an immortal Golden Core Sword Immortal.

However, before that, Shen Wen’an still wanted to make a trip to Flame Lake City.

Utilize the Gold Essence Qi from the magma lake in Flame Lake City to nurture his Lifebound Flying Sword once more.

In this way, when he integrates the golden nature, it can also make his Lifebound Flying Sword stronger.

Within Shen Family Manor.

As they watched the celestial phenomena disappear and everything return to tranquility.

All the Shen Family juniors and clansmen felt a lingering excitement.

"Brother Ming, Ah Die... has he successfully broken through?"

Shen Chongzhen looked at Shen Chongming, asking in a low voice.

Other juniors around also curiously looked at Shen Chongming.

Shen Chongming smiled and nodded: "He succeeded. From now on, our Shen Family will finally have a Golden Core Sword Immortal."

Upon hearing his words, everyone cheered joyfully.

This celebration quickly spread through the entire Yunshui City.

For a moment, the common people and cultivators in the city received the news and stepped out from hiding in their dwellings, coming out into the streets to celebrate Shen Wen’an’s breakthrough.

For the common people of Yunshui City, they may not understand what a Golden Core means, but they knew that the stronger the immortals from the Shen Family were, the safer they would be.

These common people were mostly descendants of the villagers from Jinliu Village in the past and heard tales about the Shen Family since childhood.

They’ve always believed the Shen Family could protect them well.

And Shen Wen’an’s breakthrough gave the cultivators under their rule a newfound sense of security, like suddenly gaining a backbone, a reassurance.

From now on, as they traveled, they could assertively say, "I’m from the Golden Core Shen Family."

The name of a Golden Core influence is not simply idle talk.

Seeing the clan’s excitement, Shen Chongming also showed a joyful expression.

"Xiuzhuo."

Slowly collecting the smile from his face, Shen Chongming turned to look at his eldest son, Shen Xiuzhuo.

"Father."

Having reached the age of majority, Shen Xiuzhuo slightly bowed.

"Immediately have someone prepare for the assembly matters, prepare more Spirit Fruit, Spirit Wine, and the finest ingredients."

"Additionally, have people set up the Immortal Welcoming Platform on the western side of the manor to welcome some distinguished guests during the assembly."

Breaking through the Golden Core is a grand event; the Golden Core Assembly must definitely be held.

On one hand, it’s to invite some influential forces and cultivators with good relationships to celebrate, and on the other hand, it’s to showcase strength and warn the troublemakers.

Shen Xiuzhuo nodded: "I will arrange this immediately."

"The rest can disperse; while Yunshui City still possesses some auspicious energy, seize the time to cultivate and absorb it. The auspicious energy from heaven is a rare treasure, do not waste it."

Shen Chongming waved off the crowd and turned to Wei Qiuling and his mother and son.

"Third Aunt, Brother Zhen, let’s go see Third Uncle."

Wei Qiuling nodded, and the three of them walked toward the foot of the mountain together.

...

Hidden Dragon Mountain, Dragon Tamer’s Mansion.

The standoff between both sides in the stone hall continued.

Outside the valley, the anomalies and commotion of Shen Wen’an’s breakthrough naturally caught the attention of Shen Li and the Snow Wolf King.

"Miss, the master must have successfully broken through!"

Seeing the disappearance of anomalies and commotion above Yunshui City, the Snow Wolf King excitedly approached Shen Li.

Shen Li closed the booklet in her hands and nodded with a smile.
