Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 568 - 236: Defying Heaven, Part 5

"Let’s keep this Golden Core Assembly low-key this time."

"Send an invitation to Celestial Sandalwood Mountain. As for whether their Golden Core Ancestor wishes to attend, don’t insist."

Shen Chongming nodded.

Just as he was about to say something, a stream of golden light suddenly shot in from outside the window.

The golden light landed, transforming into the figure of a Golden Toad.

"Is everyone...everyone here?"

"This little demon pays respects to the Ancestor, Third Master, and Patriarch."

Upon seeing so many people on the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion, the Golden Toad was momentarily stunned.

"Why have you returned alone, where is Li’Er?"

"How are things on the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion side?"

Shen Chongming asked, puzzled.

The Golden Toad quickly opened its mouth and spat out a tome, respectfully replying, "The situation in the mountain is still alright, and the Master is safe."

"Ancestor, this is something the Master asked this little demon to bring to you."

Shen Yuan heard and took the tome, flipping through a few pages to find some scattered writings.

"This is..."

The Golden Toad immediately summarized the matters at the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion.

"The contents of the book are the conversations the Master overheard from those two."

"Ancestor, take your time to study, this little demon needs to return to protect the Master."

The Golden Toad said respectfully before transforming back into golden light and flying out the window.

As soon as its figure disappeared, a strange ripple emanated from the foothills not far away!

Several people quickly rose and came to the window, only to see vast expanses of golden glow enveloping the sky above a small courtyard at the foothills, with a deep and ancient chanting seemingly echoing through time and space.

As the chanting grew closer, in the sky above the small courtyard, one after another, blurry figures began to emerge within the golden glow.

Their auras were ancient, and their attire was peculiar, quietly suspended in the golden glow, bowing respectfully to the courtyard below.

"What a dense Vast Righteous Qi..."

"Could those spectral figures be ancient sages?"

Shen Chongming murmured in astonishment.

"If I am not mistaken, isn’t that Chongxuan’s courtyard?"

Shen Yuan spoke in a deep voice as his Divine Sense sank into the Sea of Consciousness.

He initially thought of using the White Jade Turtle Shell to divine, but unfortunately, the White Jade Turtle Shell had lost its Spiritual Charm and was now lifeless.

And by solely using the Path of Great Derivation, he could only vaguely sense that a new descendant would be born to the Shen Family.

"It should be Chongxuan’s wife about to give birth."

"A celestial phenomenon appears; Chongxuan’s wife is about to give our Shen Family an extraordinary person."

Wei Qiuling said with a smile.

Shen Yuan nodded, "Let’s go, take a look."

A few of them left the Black Water Pavilion and arrived at Shen Chongxuan’s courtyard, where Hu Yufen and other female relatives had already gathered.

Shen Chongxuan was pacing anxiously outside the room.

"Grandfather, Brother Ming."

Seeing Shen Yuan and the others, Shen Chongxuan immediately came forward to salute.

Noticing the anxiety on his face, Shen Chongming smiled, "Xuan, don’t be tense; this celestial glow, with ancient sages coming to congratulate, marks this child as a future talent to rejuvenate the Literary Dao."

Shen Yuan also carried a gentle smile on his face.

A celestial phenomenon is enough to prove that the Shen Family is about to welcome a "Qilin’Er."

When Shen Li was born, it was the same, crowned with the title "Qilin’Er" by the White Jade Turtle Shell.

For both the third and fourth generations of the Shen Family to have a "Qilin’Er" born, such fortune indeed brings him comfort.

As everyone was discussing in the courtyard, the phenomenon in the sky suddenly transformed into a beam of golden light that fell onto the rooftop, followed by a loud cry from within the house.

"It’s born!"

"Judging by the sound, it must be a boy!"

"Chongxuan, go in and have a look."

The crowd of female relatives urged happily.

Shen Chongxuan could hardly contain his inner joy and excitement, hurriedly bowing to Shen Yuan and the others before heading toward the room.

"Congratulations to Young Master Chongxuan; it’s a young master."

Inside the room, the midwife, holding the newborn, said with a smile.

Shen Chongxuan leaned in, wanting to reach out to take the baby but was evidently inexperienced, not knowing where to start.

"Let me have it."

Zhantai Yujing, looking somewhat weak on the bed, smiled seeing his clumsy manner.

The midwife carefully placed the child beside her.

Only then did Shen Chongxuan come to the bed, gently stroking Zhantai Yujing’s face and softly said, "My dear, you’ve worked hard."

Zhantai Yujing looked at the little one in her arms with a smile.

"So ugly..."

The midwife beside them quickly explained, "Madam, don’t despise it; all newborns look like this."

"The young master’s features are well-shaped, and once he grows, he’ll look good."

Shen Chongxuan nodded in agreement, "Did you hear that? He’ll look good when he grows."

Zhantai Yujing nodded slightly, "Alright, you go tell Grandfather the good news and ask him to bestow a name upon the child."

"Let them tidy up here; Grandmother and the other ladies will want to come in and have a look later."

Shen Chongxuan got up, nodded, and then hurried outside.

"Please Grandfather name the child."

Shen Yuan, hands behind his back, thought for a moment, "This child has ancient sages visit to congratulate, and he may embark on the path of Literary Dao in the future."

"How about ’Yan’?"

The fourth generation of the Shen Family follows the "Xiu" character lineage; with just one character, "Yan," it combines into Shen Xiuyan.

It aligns well with the path he may pursue in the future.

"Alright, you all continue with the tasks at hand; I shall return."

Shen Yuan seldom revealed himself for the birth of the fourth generation.

This time, it was the celestial phenomenon accompanying Shen Xiuyan’s birth that prompted his appearance.

Leaving the courtyard and returning to the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan, while attending to his injuries, gradually absorbed the insights that Shen Wen’an had shared when he broke through the Golden Core stage.

...

Time flew by, and in no time, over a month had passed.
