Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

The explosion caused a massive deep crater in the mountains and forests within a hundred miles radius.

After Dongyun Pao and Ming Zhengchu came over and searched the surroundings, a trace of disappointment appeared on their faces.

”Damn it! With such explosive power, can anything really be left behind?”

Looking at the surrounding devastation, Dongyun Pao muttered in astonishment.

It was evident that the two did not realize the destructive power generated by the self-destruction of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator could be so great.

Ming Zhengchu reluctantly used his divine sense to search around the area, and finally could only sigh helplessly, ”Forget it, it seems there’s no benefit to be gained here, let’s withdraw.”

”Otherwise, if that group comes back for a sneak attack, both of our lives could end here.”

Dongyun Pao nodded, and as the two prepared to leave, a faint disturbance suddenly came from the edge of the crater.

”What the hell is that!?”

Ming Zhengchu, quick-eyed and swift-handed, noticed something struggling to crawl out of the soil. His spiritual power flashed in his hand, and he directly hurled out a dozen black lights!

Ding ding!

Ding!

The many gold needles struck the thing’s body, producing a sound of metal clashing, but were bounced off.

”Looks like a corpse puppet!”

Just when Dongyun Pao was about to make a move, he realized that the thing emerging from the soil was indeed a strange corpse puppet, its whole body tattered, with exposed bones shimmering with a faint metallic gleam.

Having suffered the impact of the self-destruction of an Ouchang Golden Core, the tough body of this Golden Armored Corpse Puppet had been blown apart; the gold armor and most of the flesh had vanished, its arms blown off at the elbows, exposing the bones in many places.

”Ming Guardian!”

While they were curiously examining the damaged corpse puppet, Dongyun Pao’s gaze suddenly noticed something in the abdomen of the puppet that had been blown open, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly patted Ming Zhengchu beside him, pointing at the puppet’s abdomen.

Ming Zhengchu looked closely, and his eyes also showed a trace of delight.

”A storage bag!?”

”That Yin Corpse Sect fellow was really wily, even hiding the storage bag in the puppet’s belly beforehand!”

”Thankfully, the puppet’s body was tough enough to withstand the power of the Golden Core explosion.”

As he spoke, he quietly moved to retrieve the storage bag from the puppet’s abdomen.

However, although the body of this Golden Armored Corpse Puppet had been blasted apart, its fierce nature remained substantial.

As Ming Zhengchu stepped forward, the Golden Armored Corpse Puppet suddenly raised its head, and let out a roar at him!

”Ming Guardian, be careful, this thing, though damaged, might still have some strength.”

While Dongyun Pao spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and he directly took out a long staff as tall as himself, channeling spiritual power to smash at the puppet’s head.

As the attack approached, the Golden Armored Corpse Puppet instinctively raised its arms to defend.

However, its arms had been shattered in the previous explosion, and raising them now didn’t manage to fend off Dongyun Pao’s attack.

Boom!

The heavy long staff struck the Golden Armored Corpse Puppet’s head with immense force!

Click!

The sound of skull cracking rang out, and the puppet’s legs were directly smashed into the soil under this tremendous force!

Before it could struggle to break free, Ming Zhengchu struck again!

Dozens of golden lights flashed, and those gold needles, as if they had eyes, accurately pierced the joints all over the puppet’s body!

The spiritual power of the gold needles exploded, blowing apart some joints on the puppet’s body that were already unstable.

For a moment, some ribs and arm bones detached from the body, leaving only the upper half of the damaged torso struggling to crawl on the ground.

Ha!

Dongyun Pao raised his staff and smashed again!

Bang!

This time, that half-torso of the Golden Armored Corpse Puppet could no longer withstand, and was directly shattered, scattering into broken bones on the ground.

With a flick of his long staff, Dongyun Pao hooked the storage bag from amidst the broken bones.

”Quick, see what goodies are inside!”

Ming Zhengchu urged impatiently.

For cultivators at the Fetal Breathing Realm like them, a Golden Core cultivator’s storage bag was considered a huge opportunity.

Dongyun Pao held the storage bag, and as he attempted to infiltrate it with his divine sense, he was repelled by a formidable force.

”Damn it! There’s a restriction!”

Ming Zhengchu was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this; he snatched the storage bag himself to try it out.

As expected, his divine sense was similarly bounced off by the restriction on the storage bag, making him scratch his head in frustration, his expression turning sour.

”We can only take it back to the Sect Leader, to see if he can break the restriction on it.”

Dongyun Pao spoke gruffly, and though Ming Zhengchu was somewhat unwilling, he could only nod in agreement.

The two took the storage bag back to the Bai Xuan Sect, hurried to the rear sleeping quarters to seek Shen Chongxu’s assistance, only to encounter Wushi Qianrou just emerging from the hall.

”The master is out, if you have anything, wait until he returns to talk.”

Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback, and could only bow and leave.

...

Yunshui City, a figure covered in a large cloak arrived outside the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array, and encountered Shen Chongming waiting there.

”Let’s go in and talk.”

Seeing Shen Chongxu arrive, Shen Chongming waved to open the array and led him inside.

Inside the old house’s side room, Shen Chongxu entered, slowly lifted the cloak over his head, and respectfully bowed to Shen Chongming.

”Brother Ming, what happened, making you summon me back so urgently?”

Facing Shen Chongxu’s puzzled gaze, Shen Chongming sighed softly and said, ”Xiubai... wants to see you.”

Xiubai?

Shen Chongxu was momentarily stunned, then cursed with a smile, ”You brat, if you want to see me, just say so! Did Brother Ming even need to personally send a message? I thought it was urgent at home... So, where is Xiubai?”
