Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 566 - 236: Defying Heaven, Part 3

"Third Uncle has indeed formed a Golden Core. It’s been over a hundred years, and finally, our Shen Family has produced a Golden Core Cultivator."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Wolf King was slightly taken aback.

Then, as if realizing something, he looked at Shen Li with some astonishment and said, "Miss means that the Shen Family has only been around for a hundred years?"

"The master is the first Golden Core Cultivator of the Shen Family?"

"Then the Golden Core Cultivators seen by those old monsters in the Southern Border were..."

As the former commander of the Great Witch Mountain Demon Cave, the Snow Wolf King had always believed that the Shen Family hid two Golden Core Cultivators.

Now, with Shen Wen’an’s breakthrough, it seemed to him that the Shen Family had birthed a third Golden Core powerhouse.

A force with three Golden Core powerhouses ranks highly among the various Golden Core Influences.

Shen Li glanced at him slightly and nodded with a faint smile.

Since Third Uncle Shen Wen’an has already broken through to Golden Core, there’s no need to keep this matter a secret any longer.

Besides, with the Snow Wolf King already loyal to the Shen Family, it’s no harm letting him know.

Seeing Shen Li’s acknowledgment, the Snow Wolf King was dumbfounded.

He never would have thought that the Six Major Golden Core Powers of the Southern Border were being played for fools by a Fetal Breathing Family.

Even more lamentable is that the Great Witch Mountain Demon Cave and Fushan Country both suffered significant losses at the hands of the Shen Family.

A Fetal Breathing Family maneuvering between numerous Golden Core Influences — how much courage and wisdom must it take?

At this moment, the Snow Wolf King was utterly convinced and impressed.

"With Third Uncle’s current breakthrough, I can finally put my worries to rest."

Looking towards the direction of the Stone Hall in the valley, Shen Li spoke as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

During this time, using the Puppet Centipede, she had gleaned many secrets from the two inside that Stone Hall.

She also learned that the two inside the Stone Hall, including the Suihuo Sect and Yinhe Sect, all hailed from a force in Central Province known as the Tribulation Fire Sect.

According to the two, the Tribulation Fire Sect had over five True Monarchs in the Nascent Soul Realm, with more than ten Purple Mansion Elders below them.

As for the number of Golden Core Realm Guardians, there could be dozens.

Although the strength of the two in the hall had reached the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, they were still just disciples within the Tribulation Fire Sect.

Ye Minghuang, who possessed the Fighting Spirit Profound Body, was a true disciple, while the other, called Zhou Ji, was merely a member of the inner circle.

The help they contacted through the Communication Stone some time ago was a secret force sent by the Suihuo Sect years ago to the East Sea to search for the Three Immortal Mountains.

Shen Li also vaguely overheard them discussing secrets about something called the "Dao Source."

However, the two seemed to know little about it, and Zhou Ji was very cautious, often stopping Ye Minghuang from mentioning it.

From these things, Shen Li vaguely guessed that the force searching for the Three Immortal Mountains in the East Sea might indeed have Golden Core Cultivators.

Once they receive the message and arrive, it could be difficult for the Shen Family to defend the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion.

Shen Li couldn’t understand the mind of the Chess Player behind the large scheme in the Yangnao Land, but the agreement between the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain and the Six Major Golden Core Powers of the Southern Border couldn’t constrain the Golden Core Cultivators of the Tribulation Fire Sect.

She worried that in the end, the Shen Family would have to face it alone.

Should the Golden Cores of the Tribulation Fire Sect attack and the Shen Family’s "Golden Core Powerhouses" refuse to show up, the lie of the Shen Family having two Golden Core Ancestors would be swiftly exposed.

What kind of impact the ensuing chain of events would have on the Shen Family, Shen Li dared not even imagine.

Fortunately, now that Third Uncle Shen Wen’an has successfully broken through, these problems are all resolved.

"Xiao Jin."

Suppressing her thoughts, Shen Li softly called out.

"Master."

Not far behind, a bored Golden Toad leapt onto a boulder with a swish.

"Head back to Yunshui City and deliver this to Grandpa."

Shen Li handed the book in her hand over.

This book recorded many of the secrets mentioned by the two inside the Stone Hall recently. Although they were just fragments, many of them should be significant.

Grandpa Shen Yuan had always been studying these, so Shen Li had documented them all.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Toad swallowed the book and respectfully said, "Rest assured, Master, this humble demon will depart now."

"Bai Mao, make sure to protect my master well."

Hearing these words, the Snow Wolf King immediately bared his teeth in anger!

The two demons were both once demon cultivators of Great Witch Mountain and surely knew each other from before.

"You wretched toad..."

Before the Snow Wolf King could finish speaking, the Golden Toad had already transformed into a stream of light, vanishing into the forest.

Yunshui City.

When Shen Chongming and his two companions arrived at the small courtyard, Shen Wen’an had already emerged from the secret chamber.

Clad in a green robe, he looked significantly different from before his breakthrough.

The first noticeable change was his aura. Before his breakthrough, Shen Wen’an exuded the aura of a sharp sword.

Even without engaging in combat, he emitted a chillingly sharp aura that instilled fear.

The cultivators in Yunshui City, who weren’t as familiar with him, would become visibly wary and fearful upon seeing Shen Wen’an from a distance.

However, the current Shen Wen’an was distinctly different.

The sharpness in his aura had diminished significantly, replaced by an aura of authority befitting a superior being.

This was the aura naturally accompanying the life level enhancement of a Golden Core Cultivator after a breakthrough.

"Congratulations, Third Uncle, on achieving the path of the Golden Core Sword Immortal."

Shen Chongming bowed in thanks, while Shen Chongzhen also cheerfully bowed, "Congratulations, Ah Die, on becoming a Sword Immortal!"

Seeing them, Shen Wen’an’s face broke into a rare smile.

"You two rascals!"

On the side, Wei Qiuling watched the three, especially Shen Wen’an’s genuinely joyful smile, with great satisfaction.
