Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 574 - 237: Golden Core Assembly (Part 5)

As the golden nature material slowly merged into the Inner Core Sword Pill, Shen Wen’an immediately felt that both his body and divine spirit were undergoing some wondrous changes.

For a moment, a symphony of the Great Dao echoed in his sea of consciousness, and every inch of his flesh exuded feelings of joy and elation.

A sense of sublime transformation arising from the essence of life was distinctly perceived, making him acutely aware that every inch of his flesh, every drop of blood seemed to have gained life.

Is this the power of "Immortality"?

Shen Wen’an was shocked internally.

At this moment, he finally understood why the golden nature of a Golden Core Cultivator was called "Immortal Golden Nature".

After the Inner Core Sword Pill merged with the golden nature, a sudden illusion arose in his heart.

In the future, even if his body were shattered, leaving only a piece of flesh, a drop of blood, as long as the divine spirit remained intact and there was ample spiritual power, a Golden Core Cultivator could slowly resurrect using this drop of blood, this piece of flesh!

This heaven-defying ability was brought by golden nature.

Furthermore, even if the body were completely obliterated, as long as the divine spirit with golden nature escaped, it could easily seize another body and live a second life.

In that very moment, he also suddenly realized why Golden Core Cultivators feared the people of the Underworld so much.

Simply because those strange beings possessed secret skills targeting the divine spirit and golden nature, making them truly capable of killing Golden Core Cultivators.

Suppressing numerous thoughts in his heart, Shen Wen’an continued to focus on slowly merging the golden nature into the Inner Core Sword Pill.

Just as the fusion of golden nature reached the end, at the very instant all the golden nature material in the Dantian merged completely into the Inner Core Sword Pill, the talisman mark formed by the power of the Underworld on his lifebound magical sword at the core of the Inner Core suddenly emitted a faint ghostly light.

The next moment, this ghostly light suddenly flourished, piercing through the Inner Core Sword Pill and illuminating the entire Dantian!

Seeing this, Shen Wen’an’s heart sank sharply!

Could this thing possibly want to swallow his golden nature!?

Under his anxious watch, that ghostly light persisted for a moment, creating complex patterns on his Inner Core Sword Pill.

Once those complex patterns completely covered the entire Golden Core, the ghostly light gradually faded away.

After the ghostly light dissipated, the Golden Core in the Dantian emitted a divine brilliance, rotating slowly, though this divinity was marred by the strange runes on the Golden Core’s surface, making it look somewhat out of place.

Gazing at his Inner Core Sword Pill, Shen Wen’an did not know what to do.

He tried to use his divine sense to activate it and found that the operation of the Golden Core was not affected at all.

"Forget it, let it be for now."

After researching for a while and still not understanding the purpose of those runes, Shen Wen’an decided not to waste more time.

Retracting his divine sense, he got up and left the secret chamber.

Wei Qiuling and Shen Chongzhen came up to greet him when they saw him emerge.

"How was it?"

Facing his wife’s gaze, Shen Wen’an smiled lightly and said, "Merging with golden nature is not actually dangerous."

"You and Chongzhen continue to cultivate, I am going to find Chongming to finalize the matters for the assembly."

Leaving the small courtyard, Shen Wen’an went to the manor.

"In that case, how about setting the assembly for ten days from now?"

Shen Chongming spoke.

All preparations for the assembly were ready, setting it for ten days later was to give the invited guests some time to prepare.

After all, it’s a Golden Core Assembly, and the people coming to congratulate naturally shouldn’t arrive empty-handed.

"Alright, you handle it."

Shen Wen’an did not mind.

...

Southern Border, Yangquan Mountain.

Shen Chongxu lounged lazily on the treasure seat in the main hall.

"Sect Leader, my subordinates sent people to inquire, and indeed there have been major movements recently in Fushan Country."

Below, Ming Zhengchu, dressed like a scholar, bowed slightly.

"However, their target doesn’t seem to be us."

Ming Zhengchu furrowed his brow slightly.

Previously, they captured the Commandery Princess of Fushan Country, Wushi Qianrou, in Qing Town City.

To avoid retaliation from Fushan Country, everyone followed Shen Chongxu to this Yangquan Mountain.

Though Yangquan Mountain was not in Fushan Country’s territory, Shen Chongxu did not let his guard down.

He continually had people closely monitor Fushan Country’s actions.

"Where is their target?"

Shen Chongxu asked in a slow voice.

Fushan Country is one of the Six Major Golden Core Powers in the Yangnao Land, and it just so happens to border with the Shen Family. Shen Chongxu aimed to keep an eye on Fushan Country to reduce pressure on the Shen Family as much as possible.

Ming Zhengchu gently shook his head, "I’m not very clear on their specific movements either."

"But I heard that Fushan Country recently had a conflict with a Golden Core influence called Celestial Sword City to their southwest."

"It seems that an exotic treasure appeared at the boundary between the two powers."

Exotic treasure...

Shen Chongxu gently tapped the armrest of the treasure seat, his eyes deep.

"Send more people to investigate, if Fushan Country’s forces are leaning towards the southwest, you should prepare a team to raid again."

"Remember, make sure to scout in advance, don’t fall into an ambush."

The concentration of spiritual qi around Yangquan Mountain is average, and there aren’t any ore veins or spirit fields nearby.

The Bai Xuan Sect relies mostly on looting to obtain the resources needed for daily cultivation here.

If the cultivators of Fushan Country are attracted by the exotic treasure in the southwest, they can take the opportunity to infiltrate Fushan Country and plunder it.

"Sect Leader, are we still going to abduct some low-tier cultivators this time?"

Below, Dongyun Pao pondered briefly before speaking.

The last time the Bai Xuan Sect retreated from Qing Town City, they only brought along a few key members. Now, there are only a few dozen people in the entire sect.

"No need."

Shen Chongxu waved his hand and sat up straight, "Our Bai Xuan Sect does not need those ants. If you can increase your strength, things will be easier in the future."

"Oh, and send someone to the southwest to see if we can find out what the exotic treasure is."
