Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 394: Chapter 207: The Formation Broken, Catastrophe Descends!

As Shen Chongming spoke, a hint of dominance flashed in his eyes.

This was his philosophy for managing the family.

Unlike his grandfather’s ”leveraging power” and his father’s ”forming alliances,” when Shen Chongming took over the Shen Family, he leaned more toward the word ”struggle.”

In a world of great struggles, without the heart for strength, one can only be slowly devoured and become a weakling waiting for demise.

Tingfeng Valley’s strength is not weak. In the past, he might have avoided direct conflict with them.

However, after his journey to Danzhou and learning Huang Lingshan’s identity, Shen Chongming understood.

With the backing of two powerful figures in the Golden Core Realm, the Shen Family has nothing to fear from the Immortal Sect Influence in Yangnao Land!

”Brother Ming...”

Gazing at Shen Chongming with infatuation, Shen Chongxuan wanted to say something, but saw that he had already risen.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue could only be swallowed back, and he rose to clasp his hands in salute as well.

”Rest assured, Brother Xuan, I know my limits.”

Lightly patting his shoulder, just as Shen Chongming was about to leave, he suddenly asked, ”How is Chongxu’s recent cultivation coming along?”

At the mention of his younger brother, Shen Chongxuan’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly clasped his hands and said, ”He’s been a bit slack, but I personally admonished him a few days ago, so he should improve.”

Shen Chongming looked at him deeply and nodded, ”If that’s the case, then I can rest assured.”

After leaving the academy, Shen Chongming quietly glanced in the direction of the residence, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.

”Sigh!”

After a long while, he sighed heavily, shook his head, and headed towards the Clan Court.

The cultivators and clan soldiers in the mountains had all been summoned back.

These arrogant soldiers, accustomed to the wilderness, might cause trouble once they return to the city’s jurisdiction.

This matter must be reminded to the Clan Court to strengthen patrols.

...

Southern Border.

In front of the Celestial Curtain of the Void Combination Corridor Array, the Sovereign of Fushan Country, Wushi Puppet, stood proudly in the void holding a giant Bronze Tripod.

In the distant void, in a dark purple, broad robe, with a topknot, Ou Chang came stepping through the void.

A vast black cloud followed behind him.

The black cloud was drawn by a long thread of spiritual power, the other end of which was tightly grasped in Ou Chang’s hand.

On the cloud, one could vaguely see Great Demons struggling fiercely and roaring, yet they couldn’t break free from the cloud’s restraint.

Upon seeing these demon beasts struggling on the cloud, a hint of delight flashed in Wushi Puppet’s eyes.

”Fellow Daoist Ou, you are indeed swift.”

As his words fell, from another direction in the void, the Celestial Fox Demon King also came flying through the sky, with three fluffy fox tails swaying casually behind.

Upon close observation, one could see one demon beast after another imprisoned between the fur of the three fox tails.

Compared to the demon beasts captured by Ou Chang, those imprisoned on the Celestial Fox Demon King’s tails had undergone some unknown technique, each unusually quiet and docile.

”Both Fellow Daoists are quite fast.”

Wushi Puppet spoke with an irrepressible smile.

”Alright, we have prepared the offerings you requested. If you still can’t open this Void Combination Corridor Array, don’t blame us for not showing mercy.”

Ou Chang spoke coldly.

The Celestial Fox Demon King also cast an icy glance.

In preparing these offerings, they had, out of nowhere, attracted another enemy.

If capturing so many Great and minor demons proves fruitless, they will not let it rest.

”Rest assured, both Fellow Daoists.”

”As long as there are enough offerings, this Imperial Extreme Tripod can pierce a hole in the Celestial Capital.”

Wushi Puppet confidently patted the large Bronze Tripod in his hand.

”Then... shall we begin?”

Ou Chang didn’t speak further.

Gently tugging the spiritual silk thread in his hand, he pulled all the demon beasts from the clouds above Wushi Puppet’s head.

Wushi Puppet didn’t idle either, holding the Imperial Extreme Tripod with one hand and continuously forming seals with the other.

Gradually, a slight suction emanated from the Imperial Extreme Tripod, absorbing all the demon beasts from the black cloud.

Those demon beasts wailed and shrieked in the air, but once they fell into the Tripod, they gradually lost all breath.

Seeing that the offerings captured by Ou Chang were all thrown into the Tripod, the Celestial Fox Demon King didn’t waste words, directly flicking his tails.

The demon beasts imprisoned within the fur were precision-dropped into the Imperial Extreme Tripod like dumplings.

Once all the demon beast offerings were absorbed by the Imperial Extreme Tripod, a massive amount of Blood Evil Qi began to emit from the mouth of the Tripod!

In an instant, inside the entire large Bronze Tripod, something seemed to be slowly awakening.

The ancient and vast aura emanated from the body of the tripod.

A weak and ancient chant began to echo in the void, like a group of devout believers praying and offering sacrifices.

Wushi Puppet looked solemn, his spiritual power surging all over him, holding the Imperial Extreme Tripod as he walked toward the Void Combination Corridor Array.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Void Combination Corridor Array, he carefully placed the Imperial Extreme Tripod at the gap.

Then he immediately sat cross-legged in front and began channeling streams of spiritual power into the Tripod.

The Blood Evil Qi inside the large Bronze Tripod began to surge, soon setting alight with fierce Blood Flames, and the Tripod’s body began to grow larger.

The Celestial Curtain of the Void Combination Corridor Array quickly showed cracks from the expanding Tripod’s body.

Seeing this method indeed having an effect, the Celestial Fox Demon King and Ou Chang’s faces not far away immediately showed joy.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Void Combination Corridor Array, Fu Yang was beginning to feel unwell.

Last time, he had infused his Divine Spirit into the Array, resisting the three’s attacks, consuming much of his Divine Spirit.

Now, not yet fully recovered, he noticed the invaders beginning again.

This time, no matter how he manipulated the power of the Void Combination Corridor Array, he couldn’t stop the opponents’ attack.

”It’s over, it’s over, I can’t hold it back.”

Fu Yang looked at the spreading cracks with a grim face, pondering darkly.

”Forget it, this place is about to become a place of strife. I’d better leave quickly.”

Withdrawing his Divine Spirit from the Void Combination Corridor Array, Fu Yang rose and used Wind Manipulation to fly away into the distance.

Mere moments after his departure, the great Array’s celestial curtain behind him burst open with an even more terrifying gap!

Simultaneously as the gap appeared, three terrifyingly strong figures abruptly emerged in the sky!

”It seems the rumors are true; there really was a terrible battle here back then, shattering the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins.”

Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations of Yangnao Land carefully, the Celestial Fox Demon King softly said, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Nearby, Ou Chang exuded dense Death Qi, greedily licking his lips: ”As I heard, back then, Great Prosperity True Monarch used the Void Combination Corridor Array to differentiate Yin and Yang. Our Southern Border Land was designated as Yin, gathering the filth of this world.”

”Then, this side must be Yang land. I wonder if the blood food of this Yang land is truly as nutritious as legend states.”

”Fellow Daoists, I won’t hold back.”

Before his voice fell, he transformed into a stream of light flying toward the northeast.

”Where does Fellow Daoist Celestial Fox intend to go?”

Wushi Puppet, holding the Imperial Extreme Tripod, was unhurried, smiling as he looked at the Celestial Fox Demon King.

The Celestial Fox Demon King glanced between the directions of north and northwest, struggled for a moment, then said, ”I shall go in this direction.”

Wushi Puppet examined the direction she chose, pondered for a moment, and said, ”I’d like to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Celestial Fox.”

”When gathering blood food this time, if Fellow Daoist encounters any females of decent talent and appearance, save them for me.”

”Upon returning, I can exchange them with twice the number of other cultivators of equivalent talent, how about it?”

The Celestial Fox Demon King looked at him, suddenly chuckling: ”Deal...”

With her words, she transformed into a stream of light, flying swiftly toward the vast northern mountains.
