Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

”If you want, obediently join forces with this old man and see if we can gain any benefits from him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness stirred.

He still remembered when Bai Ze perished far away in Danzhou; the White Jade Turtle Shell, enticed by Bai Ze’s fortune, traveled thousands of miles and, wielding its Divine Sense, descended upon Danzhou, forcibly absorbing Bai Ze’s fortune from the hands of numerous Golden Core Cultivators.

Now, noticing that the Great Brightness World Honored One of Jianan Temple was once again using the Power of Cause and Effect to scheme against the Shen Family, Shen Yuan thought that joining forces with the White Jade Turtle Shell might yield some benefits from the Great Brightness World Honored One.

In the magnificent and strange void, scarlet threads spread wantonly.

Shen Yuan’s ethereal figure stood quietly in this peculiar space under the protection of the White Jade Turtle Shell, watching those scarlet threads of energy approach swiftly.

This space, where the Power of Laws was manifested, was originally inaccessible and invisible to someone of his strength.

However, the White Jade Turtle Shell was clearly no ordinary object, directly bringing his Divine Sense here.

As the scarlet threads of cause and effect wrapped around them, the White Jade Turtle Shell in front of him suddenly emitted a large amount of phosphorescence.

This phosphorescence was infused into the threads transformed by Shen Yuan’s Power of Great Derivation, which surged directly towards the distant threads of cause and effect!

In a secret chamber of the Imperial City Zen Temple in Zhili, the Great Brightness World Honored One, surrounded by colorful rays, paused his Finger Technique and then murmured curiously.

”Another master?”

After his doubt, he suddenly showed a trace of irrepressible joy.

”Indeed, my fortune in this life is profound; such pure Power of Great Derivation, and it seems there is an excellent Exotic Treasure.”

”If it falls into my hands, gathering a Buddha Country on the Pure Land is just around the corner...”

Evidently, Shen Yuan targeted his ability to manipulate the Power of Cause and Effect, whereas he, even more greedy, not only coveted Shen Yuan’s Power of Great Derivation but also intended to seize the White Jade Turtle Shell.

Despite being separated by thousands of miles, they schemed against each other like this.

In the magnificent and mysterious space, the scarlet threads of cause and effect and the milky-white Power of Great Derivation entwined and fought.

Although their confrontation did not erupt into terrifying waves, the peril was no less than a direct fight.

Logically, with Shen Yuan only at the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing and the Great Brightness World Honored One of Jianan Temple being a Golden Core Old Monster who had lived three lives, they were fundamentally not on the same level.

However, since they were not directly competing in cultivation, with the help of the White Jade Turtle Shell, the Power of Great Derivation and the Power of Cause and Effect manipulated by the Great Brightness World Honored One were evenly matched in this peculiar space.

”The opponent has cultivated cause and effect for three lifetimes; perhaps there will be no benefits to gain this time.”

After a prolonged struggle, the White Jade Turtle Shell suddenly transmitted an intermittent ripple.

Shen Yuan, too, sensed the difficulty of dealing with the Great Brightness World Honored One, suspecting no benefit in continuing the entanglement.

But if he chose to retreat now, this old bald monk would certainly use the Power of Cause and Effect to scheme against the younger generation of the Shen Family.

Should there be even the slightest error, the fate of his descendants would change.

After a moment of contemplation, a brilliant idea suddenly occurred to Shen Yuan.

Turning to gaze at the many threads of cause and effect connected to the Shen Family behind him, he immediately identified the thickest one.

”Old fellow, I’ll have to trouble you again this time.”

With a bizarre smile on his face, he immediately used the Power of Great Derivation to grab the cause and effect thread manipulated by the Great Brightness World Honored One of Jianan Temple and wrapped it around that thick thread of cause and effect.

In an instant, the thread of cause and effect, controlled by the Great Brightness World Honored One, rapidly followed that thick cause and effect thread away.

...

Clear spring water gushed out from the crevices of stones in the distance, flowing slowly into a deep pool along a winding stream.

Surrounded by blooming exotic flowers, lush greenery, and ancient vines under the shade of trees, an old man, clad in a loose hemp robe, with white hair and beard was leisurely fishing with a pole made of Ink Bamboo.

This old man was none other than Xu Xiu, who had quietly left the Shen Family years ago.

”Hmm?”

”That young fellow actually saw the Power of Cause and Effect and even disturbed the connection between me and them...”

”I see now!”

Murmuring to himself, Xu Xiu suddenly felt a surge of the Power of Cause and Effect rapidly approaching along the cause and effect line connected with the Shen Family.

With a slight smile, he shook his head.

”Younger Brother Shen, you’re using this old man as a shield.”

”However, the heritage those bald monks left behind, I indeed don’t plan to miss, so let’s first give them a little taste.”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xiu gently reeled in the Ink Bamboo Fishing Pole before him and then lightly swung it.

The silver fishing line at the pole’s tip suddenly vanished into the void.

...

In the secret chamber of the Imperial City Zen Temple in Zhili, the Great Brightness World Honored One of Jianan Temple, enveloped in radiance, felt a bit lost after sensing the retreat of the Power of Great Derivation, but suddenly sensed something amiss.

This time, he intended to use the Power of Cause and Effect to scheme against the younger generation of the Shen Family.

Yet when all the threads of cause and effect converged on a peculiar thread, he found it strange.

”That is... not good!”

”How does the Shen Family have a cause and effect relationship with a True Monarch!?”

Feeling the terrifying abyss-like aura at the other end of the thread, the Great Brightness World Honored One’s expression was filled with shock!

Having reincarnated thrice, he was indeed considered powerful among the Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

But from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, there is the Purple Mansion Realm in between, and no matter how strong he is in the Golden Core Realm, he wouldn’t dare provoke a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

This negligence led to luring a True Monarch into involvement through the peculiar Power of Great Derivation, causing unspeakable dread in the heart of the Great Brightness World Honored One.
