Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 613 - 244: The Third Great Harvest (Part 2)

Putting away the jade scroll, Xu Zhan pondered briefly before speaking.

"Feel free to speak."

Shen Wenxing took a sip from his teacup and said.

Xu Zhan slightly cupped his hands in respect.

"The ’Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique’ is a good body cultivation technique, Master, you might consider practicing this technique."

He himself was currently cultivating the ’Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique’ and could clearly feel that this technique was somewhat easier than the ’Azure Dragon Force’.

This time, he also wanted his master to switch to a different cultivation technique for a more relaxed cultivation experience.

Shen Wenxing heard this and shook his head with a faint smile.

"In the later stages, there isn’t much difference between ’Azure Dragon Force’ and ’Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique’.

The later stages of ’Azure Dragon Force’ do have some difficulty, but since I have already reached the Fourth Realm with this technique and have had some insights recently, there’s no need to switch."

When breaking through the Life and Death Realm, thanks to the help of his father Shen Yuan, he did gain some insights into the ’Azure Dragon Force’s’ true intent.

Having cultivated ’Azure Dragon Force’ for nearly a hundred years, he had long been accustomed to it and naturally did not want to switch.

Xu Zhan nodded slightly, no longer insisting.

"You don’t need to worry about your master’s affairs."

"In a few months, it will be the third great harvest, and this time our Shen Family will have a different move."

"Take this opportunity to train those body cultivator clan soldiers well, as there will be a great battle."

A great battle?

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in Xu Zhan’s eyes.

During the last great harvest, his realm was still in the First Realm, with low strength, not qualified to participate. This time, he was at the Peak of the Fourth Realm, equivalent to a Half-Step Golden Core, and it was time to make a good showing.

"Don’t worry, Master!"

"In this battle, I will showcase the might of body cultivation, letting the cultivators of Yangnao Land see our strength!"

After cupping his hands, Xu Zhan left the residence with a surging heart.

Watching his departing figure, Shen Wenxing shook his head with a faint smile.

"Rascal..."

"That enthusiasm is indeed commendable."

"Ah Die!"

"Was Xu Zhan here?"

As Shen Wenxing was muttering to himself, his daughter Shen You rushed in.

"He came and went."

Looking at his daughter, Shen Wenxing spoke with a faint smile.

"Hmph!"

"In seclusion for months, and as soon as he’s out, he only cares about his master..."

Hearing that Xu Zhan had come and yet didn’t plan to see her, Shen You naturally felt a bit resentful.

Seeing this, Shen Wenxing comforted her: "Alright, as a cultivator, don’t be petty."

"That boy is now wholeheartedly committed to achieving something great, to make you proud."

"You should be grateful to have met someone like that."

Shen You pouted but didn’t continue to complain.

Shen Wenxing glanced at her and continued: "Xu Zhan’s talent has already shown, so you mustn’t slack off, focus more on your cultivation."

"Otherwise, if he outpaces you too much in the future, it would just cause more trouble."

Upon hearing this, Shen You’s expression slightly changed, but she still stubbornly said: "I’m also in the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing now, not much worse than him, right?"

Shen Wenxing smiled faintly and said, "Do you know what realm he achieved upon exiting seclusion this time?"

Shen You was momentarily stunned and shook her head.

Xu Zhan exited seclusion, yet she hadn’t even seen him, naturally not knowing his current realm.

"Peak of the Fourth Realm, surpassing even your father now."

"That’s equivalent to the Immortal Dao Half-Step Golden Core Realm."

Upon hearing this, Shen You’s pretty face was full of astonishment, and then she murmured with delight, "What a monster..."

After saying this, she cupped her hands towards Shen Wenxing, "Looks like I really need to pay more attention now."

"Father, I take my leave."

...

Western Wilderness, Flame Lake City.

When Shen Wen’an appeared here again, he clearly felt a peculiar aura pervading Flame Lake City.

As soon as he entered the city walls, he felt an intensely pure "Power of Life" filling the entire city.

"This is..."

Shen Wen’an was somewhat puzzled.

He came here to see if the Little Firebird, transformed from the Separation Fire Flame, had managed to open the Stone Egg.

However, this elusive "Power of Life" piqued his curiosity.

"Third Master!"

"Third Uncle!"

Upon receiving news of his arrival, He Zhongyi and Shen Xiuyun hurried to the city gate.

"Good lad, have you broken through to Fetal Breathing?"

Seeing that Shen Xiuyun had reached the Fetal Breathing Realm, Shen Wen’an was slightly surprised.

Among the Shen Family’s younger generation with the name ’Xiu’, Shen Xiuyun was not the most talented, yet he was the first to break through to the Fetal Breathing Realm.

"Hehe... just lucky."

Shen Xiuyun smiled, scratching his head.

Beside him, He Zhongyi explained, "Third Uncle doesn’t know that this brat is impulsive."

"After reaching the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm, I originally wanted him to settle down for a while and accumulate some foundation."

"But this guy wouldn’t listen and insisted on forcibly breaking through to Fetal Breathing."

"Fortunately, he was lucky and succeeded on the spot."

Shen Wen’an was slightly surprised after hearing this.

Transitioning from Qi Cultivation Perfection to Fetal Breathing isn’t as challenging as going from Fetal Breathing to Golden Core.

But achieving Fetal Breathing involves laying the Foundation of the Immortal Embryo, condensing the Immortal Embryo within the body, which indeed requires a substantial accumulation for a cultivator.

Shen Xiuyun had little accumulation after achieving Qi Cultivation Perfection but succeeded in attempting to break through to Fetal Breathing, which was indeed a bit incredible.

However, he vaguely felt that this might be related to the "Power of Life" permeating the city.

"Have you two noticed anything unusual in Flame Lake City recently?"

With this in mind, Shen Wen’an asked the two in front of him.

Unusual?

Shen Xiuyun and He Zhongyi exchanged glances and both shook their heads slightly.

"Third Uncle, what’s wrong?"

"Is there something wrong with Flame Lake City?"

He Zhongyi asked curiously.

Shen Wen’an shook his head.
