Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 589 - 240: Fourth Realm of Body Cultivation, Life and Death Tribulation (Part 2)

"The Inner Five Elements... Reincarnation... Mutual Generation and Mutual Inhibition..."

"Use the principle of Water and Fire Mutual Aid to maintain the stability of the Inner Five Elements..."

"The old fellow’s idea..."

Previously enraged by Shen Xiubai’s crazy idea, Jiang Xiuqi hadn’t even finished reading the Jade Scroll brought by Zhao Tuan before getting completely worked up, as it was about engraving an array within the body.

Now, after Shen Xiubai’s comprehensive interpretation, he suddenly realized that Shen Yuan’s set of theoretical designs was indeed ingenious.

Little did he know that this was Shen Yuan’s integration of the previous life’s Daoist Sect’s inner core cultivation method, refined with abundant experience accumulated in this life.

The Anyang Zhao Family and the Shen Family are in-laws; he and Zhao Tuan’s grandfather, Zhao Shuan, were once brothers.

To him, Zhao Tuan was no different from a grandson.

If there weren’t a certain feasibility, he certainly wouldn’t risk Zhao Tuan’s life as a joke.

After Jiang Xiuqi finished looking at Shen Xiubai’s sketches and carefully read the contents of the Jade Scroll, he frowned for a long time before saying:

"Your great-grandfather’s approach is indeed very ingenious, at least from my current array dao accomplishments, there are no major problems."

"But he overlooked one most important thing."

"The human Five Viscera are too frail to serve as an array base."

"If this issue can’t be solved, even if the array is successfully constructed within the inner viscera, the pain inflicted by the operation of the array would be enough to drive a cultivator insane."

"How would one talk about cultivating and defeating enemies then?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiubai was also slightly taken aback.

This is indeed something he has considered.

If it weren’t for Jiang Xiuqi’s restraining him, he had planned to first try engraving a simplified Spirit Gathering Array in his dantian.

Experience the pain brought by the operation of the array, then consider how to improve it.

The old man and the young one both fell into contemplation.

Jiang Xiuqi often called Shen Xiubai and Shen Yuan "little madman" and "old madman."

But the temperament of array masters is quite similar.

Conservative array masters are destined not to become great.

In some sense, array masters are actually all madmen, just that Jiang Xiuqi hasn’t reached Shen Xiubai’s level of madness yet.

Now having seen Shen Yuan’s mature theoretical framework provided, he was of course very tempted too.

Jiang Xiuqi understood that by leveraging Shen Yuan’s "Water and Fire Mutual Aid" theory to solve the problem that a no spiritual root cultivator needs to leverage the same quality Five Elements Innate Spiritual Qi to break through Fetal Breathing and continue to cultivate, he would become a legendary figure in the hearts of many cultivators in the future, leaving a name in history was inevitable.

The old man and young man began attempting to discuss how to solve the issue of the Five Viscera as the array base, while Luo Yao on the side looked at the two, dumbfounded.

She was slightly puzzled.

Why did the uncle who was vehemently against engraving an array inside the body just a moment ago, change his attitude so suddenly?

However, given her lack of understanding of arrays, she didn’t say much, simply shook her head and quietly left the Seven Layer Tower.

...

Yunshui City.

Previously, Shen Chongming had planned for the Snow Wolf King to escort the younger generation of the Shen Family to try their luck at the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, but the intrusion of the Tribulation Fire Sect into the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion disrupted the plan.

Now that the matter at the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion has been resolved.

The Snow Wolf King had nothing else to do, so the journey to the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm was put back on the agenda.

In front of the manor, twenty spirited youths stood in two rows.

The leader was Shen Xiuchan, the eldest illegitimate son of Shen Chongming.

Shen Xiuchan, son of Shen Chongming and Mu Lingxun, was now seventeen years old, with cultivation reaching the Peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

The Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm had restrictions, Fetal Breathing cultivators couldn’t enter; the twenty Shen Family cultivators present were all in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

"Xiuchan, these clansmen represent the future of our Shen Family, you must not be reckless once you enter the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm."

"I’ve already instructed you on what you need to know, and you must try your best to bring them all back safely."

Looking at his son, Shen Chongming solemnly advised.

The robust, somewhat shrewd-looking Shen Xiuchan slightly bowed, saying, "Rest assured, Ah Die, I will definitely bring them all back."

After Shen Chongming nodded, he then turned to the remaining young cultivators, saying: "Everyone must be cautious on this trip, the dangers within the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm are many, and to be reckless and endanger companions would make you sinners of the Shen Family."

"After entering the secret realm, follow Young Master Xiuchan’s instructions and do not rush for glory."

The twenty young people, including Shen Xiuchan, shouted in unison.

"We heed the patriarch’s teachings!"

Shen Chongming nodded, then turned to the Snow Wolf King, saying: "I entrust them to you."

The Snow Wolf King nodded, then spoke in human words: "Patriarch, we are leaving."

As he spoke, his figure suddenly swept up a demonic wind, carrying the twenty people swiftly towards the direction of the Three Mountains County’s Seven Sages Mountain.

Yingchuan County City.

Within the grand hall, Wushi Ao from Fushan Country was seated cross-legged, cultivating.

A personal guard soldier suddenly approached.

"Reporting, Prince, a group from the Shen Family in Yunshui City has left, heading towards the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm."

Wushi Ao slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the report.

"Prince, the sword cultivator from the Shen Family has now broken through the Golden Core and cannot make a move; should we...?"

The personal guard soldier’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

The last great harvest caused Fushan Country to suffer greatly at the hands of the Shen Family.

Three of the five major legions were destroyed, provoking the Sovereign Wushi Puppet’s wrath, and these cultivators in Yangnao Land were also punished, having ten years of salary and cultivation resources deducted.
