Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 642 - 249: Body Seizure (Voting Request)

Shen Yuan carefully observed the operation of the Spirit Gathering Array within Shen Xiubai’s Dantian and soon discovered an issue.

He slowly withdrew his Divine Sense, furrowing his brows as he pondered for a moment and said, "Borrowing external objects to form within yourself ultimately isn’t yours; this array has significant flaws."

The problem with the Dantian Array was revealed in a single statement, and Shen Xiubai’s expression was somewhat surprised.

"Great-grandfather also understands this?"

The younger generation with the "Xi" character in the name of the Shen Family knew little about Shen Yuan.

In their eyes, this elder of the Shen Family rarely appeared, often staying alone in the attic by the Black Water Pool, researching something unknown.

More importantly, as the elder of the family, Shen Yuan’s cultivation was also not very high.

They all thought the elder merely lived a long life and was a senior, which was why he received the respect of the clansmen.

"Hehe..."

Upon hearing Shen Xiubai’s words, Shen Yuan chuckled lightly.

"Great-grandfather knows a bit of everything but isn’t truly proficient in anything."

"Not as good as you youngsters."

As his words shifted, he pondered for a moment and continued, "Xiubai, although great-grandfather found flaws in your Dantian Array, don’t be discouraged."

"This is already a significant progress; you should comprehend it thoroughly and refine it well, and in the future, you might become the creator of this path."

"Furthermore, you have the talent for Array Dao and have the inheritance from Fellow Daoist Fu Yang; regular enlightenment in Array Dao should not be neglected."

"The achievements of our Shen Family in Array Dao rely entirely on you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiubai respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Great-grandfather, rest assured, Xiubai will not let your expectations down."

By successfully arranging a Spirit Gathering Array in the Dantian with the help of the Essence of Spirit Jade, although it has many flaws, at least until the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm, he doesn’t need to worry.

From the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation to Qi Cultivation Perfection, it takes at least over ten years.

Without worrying about his own cultivation, Shen Xiubai had already decided to delve into Array Dao during this time and lay a solid foundation for the family’s achievements in Array Dao.

"By the way, great-grandfather has something else to give you."

Shen Yuan said as he took out a Storage Bag from his bosom and handed it to him.

Shen Xiubai received the Storage Bag and asked curiously, "Great-grandfather, what is inside this?"

Shen Yuan sighed slightly and said, "This was sent by a friend of the Shen Family some days ago."

"Some of the Spirit Crystals and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in it have already been taken by great-grandfather; the rest are clues about the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal."

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal?

Shen Xiubai opened the Storage Bag curiously and found it indeed contained ancient tomes and old tablets.

"Great-grandfather, what is this Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal?"

The Dao Seal Jade Carving is considered one of the core secrets of the Shen Family.

Among many clansmen of the Shen Family, not many know about the Dao Seal Jade Carving, and Shen Xiubai hadn’t even heard of it.

Shen Yuan gestured for him to sit before him and then began, "The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal is also known as the Dao Seal Jade Carving."

"It is an immortal technique composed of twenty-four True Techniques."

"Each True Technique corresponds to the twenty-four solar terms; currently, our Shen Family has mastered the White Dew, Cold Dew, and Frost Descent seals."

"Great-grandfather has carefully studied the items inside the Storage Bag and guesses they should lead to the Autumn Equinox Dao Seal Jade Carving."

Pausing slightly, Shen Yuan continued, "The Autumn Equinox balances day and night, embodying the division of Yin and Yang."

"Though great-grandfather cannot comprehend the complex array patterns above, he can roughly guess the Autumn Equinox Dao Seal Jade Carving should be between the region from Laishui River to the Void Combination Corridor Array."

"Exactly where is your task to determine using Array Dao knowledge and the grand currents of heaven and earth."

At this point, Shen Yuan said solemnly, "Remember one thing: if you need to explore the directions of the grand currents of heaven and earth, be sure to tell your uncle or great-grandfather."

"Never go alone."

Today, Shen Xiubai is a treasure of the Shen Family, burdened with the responsibility of creating Array Dao, and should anything happen to him, it would be a great loss to the Shen Family.

"Xiubai will heed great-grandfather’s teachings."

Shen Xiubai respectfully cupped his hands before speaking.

Shen Yuan chuckled and nodded.

"Go ahead, come find great-grandfather at the Black Water Pavilion anytime if you need anything."

...

Western Wilderness, Flame Lake City.

After the grand wedding, He Zhongyi and his wife Zhang Clan returned here again.

Among those accompanying them was Shen Chonghong who was previously attacked by Monk Hui Kong from Jianan Temple.

Since being hunted by Monk Hui Kong in Huaisang and forced to burn the Foundation of the Immortal Embryo, Shen Chonghong had secluded to recuperate for a whole year before healing his injuries.

After learning from his father Shen Wenxing that his cultivation might never progress in the future, Shen Chonghong’s Dao Heart had indeed been greatly impacted.

Thankfully, his inherently cheerful personality did not lead him to collapse from this.

This time, as He Zhongyi and his wife Zhang Clan were heading to Flame Lake City, Shen Chonghong asked for his father’s permission to accompany them to take a look.

On one hand, to unwind, and on the other, to see his son Shen Xiuyun.

With He Zhongyi’s wedding in Yunshui City, the little fellow stayed here alone guarding, and by the count of days, hadn’t returned home for several years.

Shen Chonghong decided to come for another important reason.

His third uncle Shen Wen’an previously mentioned a strange "Power of Life" existing in Flame Lake City now, tremendously beneficial to cultivators.

Moreover, he himself just happened to possess the Fire Attribute Spirit Root, unafraid of the Earth Vein Fire Qi of Flame Lake City.
