Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 304 - 192: Path of Great Derivation Showdown

Chapter 304: Chapter 192: Path of Great Derivation Showdown

It seems that ever since breaking through the Fetal Breathing Realm, these scattered thoughts have suddenly emerged in my mind.

"Do you have any understanding of the forces and strength of the Southern Border?"

Shen Chongming furrowed his brow and spoke.

Since childhood, following Shen Yuan, the phrase he heard most was "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles."

Now, the cultivators and demon beasts of the Southern Border have invaded the Shen family’s territory multiple times, yet they know very little about the entire Southern Border, which is not a good situation.

The Centipede Leader shook his head, "I, as king, am not very aware, only vaguely know that in the Southern Border, there are many Great Demons. They gather numerous demon beasts, forming various Demon Caves."

"Besides, there seem to be some Immortal Dynasty countries formed by the Human Race, with all kinds of cultivators..."

"In short, the situation over there seems more complicated than ours."

The Centipede Leader spoke intermittently, seemingly with chaotic memories, constantly shaking its large head.

"As for strength... the Southern Border should be stronger."

"We had a great war, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins were shattered, many inheritances are extinct..."

"There shouldn’t be such problems over there."

The faces of those present turned grave upon hearing this.

On this point, what the Centipede Leader said should be true.

In the current Yangnao Land, a few decades ago, there were essentially no Immortal Dao inheritances, people even considered Immortal Dao cultivators as mythological figures.

Later, with Hundred Beasts Mountain and a group of Immortal Sects scheming for the Purple Mansion Perfection Realm Flood Dragon in Hidden Dragon Mountain, an incident causing the Flood Dragon to become a Nascent Soul and leave seemed to trigger some changes, gradually restoring the Spiritual Qi in Yangnao Land.

Decades have passed, and although Yangnao Land now has many cultivators, excluding those from the Immortal Sects, the strength of the indigenous cultivators of Yangnao Land is so weak it can be almost negligible.

Apart from the unique existence of Shen Wen’an, it seems none of the cultivators from the noble families of Yangnao Land have reached the Fetal Breathing Realm.

With such strength, indeed, it is no match for the Southern Border.

"The attackers this time are surely from a Demon Cave bordering the Southern Border and the Shen Family. They were the first to discover the loophole in the Void Combination Corridor Array and came to plunder blood food."

"That is a Demon Cave, with Fetal Breathing Realm Demon Generals, Golden Core Realm Demon Kings, and possibly even more powerful entities."

"Taking the initiative to attack would be courting death, wouldn’t it?"

The Centipede Leader said with a trembling voice.

Even though Shen Chonghong found its words somewhat outrageous, he was also aware that the opponent’s strength was indeed greater than the Shen Family’s.

"Big brother, what should we do now?"

He looked at Shen Chongming and asked.

Shen Chongming frowned and, after pondering for a moment, glanced at Zhao Tuan beside him.

"What do you think, Brother Tuan?"

Zhao Tuan slightly cupped his hands and said, "There are many strange aspects to this matter. It’s not as simple as it appears on the surface."

He pondered for a moment, analyzed with deep eyes, "If it’s really as Elder Centipede said, with many Fetal Breathing Realm Demon Generals and even Golden Core Realm Demon Kings in that Demon Cave, they could completely obliterate our Shen Family with thunderous means."

"Why send some Qi Cultivation Realm demon beasts to skirmish with us?"

Shen Chongming nodded slightly, "I speculate that the reason they are doing this is possibly because the Void Combination Corridor Array has not completely disappeared, and those so-called Golden Core Realm Demon Kings are under some restriction, unable to descend."

Zhao Tuan nodded in agreement with this hypothesis.

"In fact, there’s another concern I have."

"The opponent clearly has enough strength, yet keeps delaying. Could there be another conspiracy?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present fell silent.

After a long time, Shen Chongming looked at the Centipede Leader and said, "Giant Centipede, there’s something I need to trouble you with."

The Centipede Leader turned to look at him.

Shen Chongming continued, "Send your offspring deeper towards the Southern Border, spread out."

"If those demon beasts come again, there’s no need to resist them; just make sure to send the message immediately."

The Centipede Leader nodded, "This is easy to handle, leave it to me."

Shen Chongming cupped his hands in thanks, and the three left the Poisonous Miasma Forest, returning to the mountain camp.

"Young Clan Leader Shen."

As the three arrived at the mountain camp, they happened to see Xiao Hongxiao instructing several Shen Family cultivators in their technique practice on the open ground in front of a wooden house.

Seeing Shen Chongming, Xiao Hongxiao slightly bent in salute.

The remaining Shen Family cultivators also cupped their hands in greeting immediately.

Shen Chongming looked at Xiao Hongxiao with curiosity, turned to look at Shen Chonghong, and asked, "Was it you who brought Miss Xiao here?"

Shen Chonghong awkwardly scratched his head.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming turned to Xiao Hongxiao, cupped his hands, and said, "Miss Xiao, my apologies for my brother’s thoughtlessness, for troubling you to come on this adventure."

Xiao Hongxiao waved her hands repeatedly, "No... not at all."

"Young Clan Leader Shen, I... I have something I wish to discuss with you."

After hesitating slightly, a trace of determination flashed in Xiao Hongxiao’s eyes as she spoke.

Shen Chongming looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then motioned with his hand, "Please, Miss Xiao, come in."

Xiao Hongxiao nodded, followed him into the wooden house, and sat down.

"Miss Xiao, you may speak plainly about your matter."

Seeing her holding a teacup with a conflicted expression, Shen Chongming smiled and spoke.

After putting down the teacup in her hand, Xiao Hongxiao mustered her courage and said, "I... I would like to discuss a possible alliance between the Hundred Refinements Valley and Young Clan Leader Shen."

An alliance?

Shen Chongming’s expression froze for a moment upon hearing this, and he did not reply immediately.

After all this time, he had already gained a fair understanding of the Hundred Refinements Valley’s strength.

The strongest in the sect is an old ancestor at the late stage of the Fetal Breathing, with possibly several Elders at the early to mid-Fetal Breathing stages.
