Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 326 - 195: Unexpected Gains (Part 6)

After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke in a deep voice, "As a son, I do not know what kind of person Ah Die is in grandfather’s eyes, Chongxuan does not know."

"As a father, Ah Die is also beyond evaluation in the eyes of me and Chongxu."

"As a husband..."

Shen Chongxuan’s expression was somewhat melancholic. He gently stroked a delicate embroidered brocade pouch next to the desk and said lightly, "Mother waited for him bitterly for ten years, unable to see him one last time when she passed away."

"What kind of person he is in Mother’s heart, Chongxuan does not know either..."

He slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Chongming with a determined gaze, "What kind of person do you think he is, big brother?"

"What kind of face does he deserve?"

Shen Chongming was stunned, trying to recall the appearance and demeanor of Second Uncle Shen Wenyan from his memory.

However, Shen Wenyan was also very vague in his memory, and indeed he could not give an evaluation.

"The teacher said that writing history requires justice in mind, not subjective evaluations."

He lowered his head, stroking the faceless illustration of his father, murmuring, "I can only record his life’s deeds, big and small, in detail."

"Let future generations comment on it later."

Shen Chongming sighed secretly and gently patted his shoulder to change the topic, "I heard you want the scholars and literati of the academy to go out and teach in other Immortal Sects and cities under the control of Noble Families?"

Shen Chongxuan nodded slightly, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, "The teacher and I have been comprehending the legacy left by Ah Die over the years, having shared insights on the Literary Dao."

"Literary Dao Cultivators cultivate the Literary Heart, rectifying oneself, relying on ’My Dao’s Literary Qi’."

"With the arrival of the Immortal Sect, the world is divided, people value cultivation, neglecting rites, knowing nothing of literature, and the world’s Literary Qi is very scarce."

While speaking, he waved his hands and wrote the word "sword" in the air in front of him. After the "sword" appeared, it suddenly turned into a graceful long sword, shooting towards the distance.

"With inadequate Literary Qi, this strike of mine would be only comparable to a cultivator of about Qi Cultivation Third Layer."

"Big brother, do you think if I mention this to Uncle, and ask the Shen Family to help promote the Literary Dao, will Uncle agree?"

Shen Chongming squinted his eyes slightly after hearing this, without speaking.

Given the Shen Family’s current status in Yangnao Land, if they were to forcefully arrange people to establish schools and teach in other Immortal Sect and Noble Family-controlled cities, those Noble Families and Immortal Sects would probably not refuse.

However, there are many intricate connections behind this matter.

For instance, would other Immortal Sects and Noble Families think the Shen Family is domineering, blatantly inserting clan members around them?

Moreover, once the academies are built, they would naturally recruit students, which is tantamount to directly poaching people from their spheres of influence.

More importantly, once the Literary Dao Cultivators demonstrate their strength later, the cultivators under other Immortal Sects and Noble Families would inevitably consider these Literary Dao Cultivators as major threats.

With all these reasons, it would be difficult to associate well in the future.

Father’s principle in managing the household is to make friends and form alliances.

He would not easily agree to this matter.

However...

A flash of brilliance appeared in Shen Chongming’s eyes.

His principle in managing the household is different from his father’s and grandfather’s.

In his view, the current Yangnao Land is an era of great competition, the strong prevail, the weak perish!

The cultivation resources in Yangnao Land have slowly been divided up, if there is no other development, years later, the family’s painstakingly accumulated advantages would gradually be caught up.

Should any weakness or incompetence appear in the progeny of some generation, it is highly likely to be suppressed jointly by other Noble Family forces, or even directly exterminated and divided!

The Literary Dao is the legacy left by Second Uncle Shen Wenyan at the cost of his life; if not utilized well, would that not betray his sacrifice?

"Do you have any plan for this matter in your heart?"

After careful consideration, Shen Chongming spoke in a deep voice.

A plan?

Shen Chongxuan was somewhat taken aback before shaking his head, "Without Uncle’s permission, I naturally wouldn’t dare to think much about it."

By nature, Shen Chongxuan is a person who knows and abides by rites, preferring to follow rules in everything.

A flash of determination appeared in Shen Chongming’s eyes, "Over the next few days, you may start drafting a plan for this matter, I will help you with the following procedures."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxuan looked at him in surprise.

"Big brother, this matter is of great importance, it’s still... it’s still better to discuss it with Uncle."

Meeting his gaze, Shen Chongming smiled gently, "Ah Die has already entrusted most of the household affairs to me to handle, just prepare as you are instructed."

"Don’t wait until I’ve arranged everything for you, and you yourself mess up, making a joke, losing face for the Shen Family."

Patting his shoulder, Shen Chongming immediately headed towards the Black Water Pavilion.

On the plank bridge, Shen Chongxuan looked at his back with a deep gaze, then glanced at the family history in front of him, hurriedly flipping to the page of "Character Biography · Shen Chongming".

After pondering intensely for a long time, he picked up his pen and started writing vigorously in the blank space.

[Immortal Calendar Year 61, Bingxu Month, Kui Chou Day, discussed with the Young Clan Leader in front of Black Water Pavilion about spreading the Literary Dao across the world...]

He recorded the conversation between the two brothers word for word, adding a sentence at the end.

[The Young Clan Leader Chongming has courage and insight, truly having the demeanor of a heroic leader.]

Inside the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan sat cross-legged, a slight smile on his face.

He had clearly heard the dialogue between his two brothers outside on the bridge.

Shen Chongming’s ambition and decisiveness made him very satisfied.

"This lad is more promising than both myself and his father."

"Hopefully, the Shen Family can reach an even higher level in his hands..."

...

Northern Territory.

Above the vast snowy plain, an ancient Bronze Tower Ship suddenly appeared in the void.

On the ship, Fu Yang stood at the bow, curiously observing the surroundings, a hint of wonder on his face, he couldn’t help but speak out:

"Truly remarkable!"

"Over a hundred years ago, this old man once passed through a barrier and came to this Yangnao Land."

"At that time, the Yangnao Land was so lacking in Spiritual Qi that it couldn’t even support the basic consumption of a cultivator."

"Now, only a hundred years have passed, and the Spiritual Qi concentration in this Yangnao Land is not much worse than Danzhou."

"It seems that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins of Yangnao Land have been activated, and the Spiritual Qi has fully revived."

Fu Yang nodded with emotion, "In such a century, Yangnao Land can indeed become a treasured place where the wind of cultivation prevails, like Danzhou."

Shen Wen’an walked slowly to his side, nodded and said, "Now with the arrival of various Immortal Sects from Qishan, the number of cultivators in Yangnao Land is increasing."

"These cultivators either form their own forces or seize territories, establishing cultivation families."

"Indeed, it will be a grand scene in a hundred years."

"Senior, now that we have reached Yangnao Land, how about going to the Shen Family for a cup of tea first."

It is already the end of August, and Shen Chonghong and Xiao Hongxiao’s grand wedding in Hundred Refinements Valley is on the 8th of September. If the Grand Array can be set up quickly in the remaining days, it can show the visiting Immortal Sects and forces the underlying strengths of the Shen Family.

This can also serve as a deterrent to those with bad intentions.

Fu Yang nodded, "Please guide me in the direction."

Standing at the bow, Shen Wen’an pointed towards the direction of Yunzhong County. Fu Yang immediately manipulated the tower ship, transforming it into a stream of light and flying towards that direction.

He also wanted to set up the Arrays for the Shen Family soon and then take a look at the so-called Void Combination Corridor Array.
