Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

In the garden’s rear mountain, dressed in a long gray brocade robe and with a blue jade hairpin in his hair bun, Shen Yuan walked slowly along the winding path.

The cultivator guarding the path saw him from afar and instinctively rubbed his eyes.

"Uncle Jing, is that... the Ancestor!?"

The slightly younger junior cultivator suppressed his excitement and asked urgently.

The person beside him, Xu Jing, evidently was not seeing Shen Yuan for the first time and immediately turned to glare angrily at the junior cultivator, then respectfully cupped his hands: "Ancestor."

The junior cultivator also quickly stood up straight, bowed, and cupped his hands: "Greetings, Ancestor."

To these latecomers, Shen Yuan had already become a legend within the Shen Family.

Most of the younger generation did not know much about his deeds, but had vaguely heard that this Ancestor valued etiquette greatly.

"Hmm."

Shen Yuan nodded kindly, then asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything unusual with the rear mountain recently?"

Xu Jing quickly cupped his hands: "Reporting to Ancestor, everything is normal."

Shen Yuan nodded: "Good, I’ll go check. You guard here, nobody is allowed to enter."

"Yes!"

Xu Jing responded with another cupped hand.

Watching his somewhat stooped silhouette disappear on the path, the slightly younger cultivator murmured excitedly: "The Ancestor is very kind, much like my Uncle Huang next door."

"Uncle Jing, what is the Ancestor’s cultivation level now?"

The young cultivator estimated it was his first time seeing this legendary elder, feeling very exhilarated.

"Why do you talk so much?"

"Aren’t you worried the Ancestor might hear you and throw you out of Yunshui City?"

Xu Jing frowned at him, scolding him before realizing that such reactions upon suddenly seeing the family’s Ancestor were normal for the younger generation.

"The Ancestor has never revealed his power; nobody knows what his cultivation level is."

"But you should know that our Shen Family was established by the Ancestor himself."

The young cultivator looked slightly dazed, then mumbled something to himself, unknown to others.

Shen Yuan naturally did not know of the two’s conversation, as he had arrived at the place where Shen Xiubai had once secluded himself.

This area is now empty; even if someone broke in, they would not see anything unusual.

But Shen Yuan and the other two who knew the secret of this place were aware that Shen Xiubai, who had disappeared for over a decade, was in the space connected to this area.

This is also the sole anchor point of the space where he is located with Yangnao Land.

If the space of this area sees any problems, Shen Xiubai would probably never be able to appear again.

"Xiubai, Great-grandfather has brought you the Essence of the Five Elements."

Standing with hands behind his back in this area, Shen Yuan called out in a deep voice.

A moment later, a vortex suddenly appeared in the space before him.

"Great-grandfather, you’ve come out of seclusion?"

Shen Xiubai’s voice carried obvious excitement.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan smiled and nodded: "Child, how have you been lately?"

"When can you come back?"

The vortex was silent for a moment, then the voice sounded again: "Don’t worry, Great-grandfather. Xiubai is already at a crucial moment in understanding."

"In a while longer, this Secret Realm will be completely perfected. By then, Great-grandfather will see Xiubai."

His words carried a strange emotion, and Shen Yuan felt a trace of uneasiness following them.

"Child, although Great-grandfather doesn’t know what your plan is, before making any decisions, you must inform Great-grandfather."

"Over the years, your mother went many times to inquire about you from your uncle."

"Also, your father sent messages, saying he would visit after the annual ceremony."

To prevent things from developing in an unwanted direction, Shen Yuan had no choice but to tell a lie.

Shen Xiubai in the vortex fell into silence once again.

A long while later——

"Please tell Ah Die that Xiubai has failed to fulfill his duties and cannot meet him at the annual ceremony."

"But! There will be an opportunity to see each other again..."

"Great-grandfather, please give Xiubai the Essence of the Five Elements."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan sighed inwardly, then took out the Essence of the Five Elements from the storage bag and threw it into the vortex in front of him.

"Child, the matter of Danzhou... was it your handiwork?"

Last time, through Shen Chongxuan’s description, he had faintly guessed Shen Xiubai’s plan.

This visit was merely to confirm the guess in his heart.

Shen Xiubai uttered a light "Hmm" and said: "Did anyone notice anything?"

Shen Yuan replied: "No, reportedly not even the Nascent Soul True Monarch managed to understand what happened."

Shen Xiubai’s voice carried a hint of relief: "Then that’s good."

"As long as nothing is discovered this time, when the Dao of Yangnao Land collapses, Xiubai’s entire plan should succeed."

"Great-grandfather, in two days, Xiubai will send you the complete Array Dao legacy."

"By then, as long as our Shen Family cultivators have comprehension, they can also study the Array Dao."

"However, the core knowledge still requires a certain talent and needs Great-grandfather to carefully consider before passing it down."

Shen Xiubai’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

From a young age, he had borne the responsibility of revitalizing the Shen Family’s Array Dao.

Later, his extensive research into the Inner Five Elements Cycle had consumed much of his time.

Then, to construct the Five Elements Secret Realm, he had not had the time to organize the fundamental aspects of the Array Dao.

Now that everything is back on track, he finally has the time to compile a complete set of array inheritance.

Upon mentioning this matter, Shen Yuan suddenly showed a hint of doubt on his face.

"Xiubai, there is a question in Great-grandfather’s mind that has always been puzzling."

"Please say it, Great-grandfather." Shen Xiubai’s voice came from the vortex, then continued: "Actually, Xiubai has guessed what Great-grandfather wants to ask."
