Chapter 248: Chapter 183: Lingshan Sword Immortal Revisited

"Wen’an, can you confirm if there is a True Seal within this Jade Stele?"

Jiang Xiuqi was stunned for a long time before he spoke excitedly.

Shen Wen’an sensed the information within his Sea of Consciousness again and nodded slightly, "Indeed, it is a True Seal."

Hearing these words, Jiang Xiuqi’s body trembled slightly with excitement, his expression even more dazed and uncertain.

"Master?"

Seeing this, Wei Qiuling softly called out.

Jiang Xiuqi came back to his senses and said, "The True Seal is also known as the Dao Seal, meaning an object inscribed by the Great Dao."

"We cultivators claim to pursue the Great Dao, but few know that before reaching the Golden Core Realm, one cannot even glimpse its essence."

"The saying ’Swallow a single Golden Core, and fate is yours, not governed by the heavens’ signifies that only when a cultivator attains the Golden Core and gains a trace of Golden Nature can they approach the Great Dao and glimpse their own fate."

"As for those below the Golden Core..." Jiang Xiuqi’s face showed a bitter smile, shaking his head, "Cultivators below the Golden Core, no matter how they struggle and strive, are merely ants under the control of fate."

Seeing Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling’s dazed expressions after hearing his words,

Jiang Xiuqi understood that it was not appropriate to discuss these matters with them now, lest it affect their Dao Heart.

"If this Jade Stele truly contains all True Seals, it’s something even the Upper Grade Immortal Sect would covet."

"Now that the Jade Stele has fallen into our hands at Luoxia Mountain, it is both a blessing and a curse."

Awakening from the joy of acquiring the True Seal, Jiang Xiuqi’s expression grew somewhat grim.

Such a grand opportunity suddenly landing on Luoxia Mountain left him with mixed feelings.

Hundred Beasts Mountain had been scheming for this Jade Stele for over a century, surely aware of the True Seals within it.

Now that their forces in Yangnao Land have been completely wiped out, Jiang Xiuqi worries that Hundred Beasts Mountain might go mad and choose to expose the secret.

If the secret of the True Seal is leaked, it will plunge the entire Danzhou into chaos.

This treasure is even more alluring than the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl once was.

Wei Qiuling also realized this, furrowing her brow, unsure of what to do.

"This Jade Stele cannot be dealt with immediately; let’s leave for now."

After pondering in front of the Jade Stele for a moment, Jiang Xiuqi spoke.

There was a need to consider how to solve the hidden threat from Hundred Beasts Mountain, but being in front of this Dao Seal Jade Carving, he couldn’t calm his thoughts.

The three of them left the cave abode and appeared beneath the starry sky.

As a gentle breeze blew, Shen Wen’an suddenly spoke, "Perhaps we should return to Black Water Pool and consult with Father and Elder Brother."

In battle with the enemy, he never felt troubled.

But affairs involving strategy and planning, Shen Wen’an felt he was far from his father and elder brother’s level.

Jiang Xiuqi considered for a moment and nodded, "You two return first; I will stay here to set up more Illusion Arrays around the Sunflower Water Thunder Array and conceal the cave abode, then I will come find you."

Saying this, Jiang Xiuqi suddenly shook his head with a bitter smile.

How foolish he had been before, to forcibly dismantle the Illusion Array set up by Hundred Beasts Mountain.

Now, he had to waste time and resources to set it up again.

After Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling nodded, they left the place, flying towards Black Water Pool.

...

In the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan, after hearing their brief account, was also greatly surprised.

Days ago, he had a sudden feeling, leading him to perform a simple divination.

Who could have imagined that the auspicious sign would indicate such a terrifying opportunity!

"Does father have any thoughts?"

Wei Qiuling inquired.

She remembered when they first arrived in Yangnao Land, Shen Family was still under Shen Yuan’s leadership.

Over the years, the Shen Family has faced many changes, many of which were more than a small Qi Cultivation Clan could handle.

Yet the Shen Family managed to overcome them time and again.

She admired Shen Yuan’s wisdom and wanted to hear any good strategies he might have.

Shen Yuan, upon hearing, smiled slightly, "The matter is actually quite simple."

"As the head of Shen Family, I always leveraged connections."

"Later, your elder brother took over, slightly shifting the strategy to forming alliances."

"Both methods share a common point: forming ties with a powerful ally."

Wei Qiuling pondered over these words.

Shen Yuan continued without keeping them guessing, "Luoxia Mountain finding itself with such an opportunity is like Shen Family acquiring the Spirit Stone Vein back then."

"Knowing it’s a good thing, but also clear they can’t guard it or fully utilize it."

"This is the time to seek a stronger ally."

Upon this revelation, Wei Qiuling realized with a laugh, "This method is indeed simple; I’ve seen Father and Elder Brother use it so many times, yet I had forgotten."

"However..."

She turned to Shen Wen’an, who had not said a word, "Since Junior Brother has been to Cyan Ruo Sword House, do you think sharing the Dao Seal Jade Carving with them is feasible?"

Among the Upper Three Sects in Danzhou, only Cyan Ruo Sword House is approachable; the other two Immortal Sects resist involvement.

If mishandled, they could easily send a Golden Core expert to annihilate all those connected with Luoxia Mountain and Shen Family, seizing the Dao Seal Jade Carving without hesitation.

"Sword Cultivators are straightforward; we can first make contact with Lingshan Sword Immortal." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"However..."

Shen Wen’an hesitated.

The matter concerned the survival of both Luoxia Mountain and Shen Family, leaving him uncertain.

But doing nothing while waiting... who could guarantee when Hundred Beasts Mountain would suddenly act out, disclosing the secret of the Dao Seal Jade Carving?
