Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 632 - 247: Plotting for Spirit (3)

Since various Immortal Sects descended upon Yangnao Land from Danzhou, the Shen Family began to slowly rise.

It’s been just over a hundred years since they stepped into the Cultivation Realm.

He considered himself knowledgeable of ancient and current affairs, aware of many ancient secrets, yet was puzzled about what a Dao Source is and how the Shen Family knew about it?

Shen Wen’an initially wanted to keep it secret, but after some thought, he spoke: "I won’t hide from you two; Shen does indeed know some news related to the Dao Source."

"But what Shen knows is very fragmented, all from some incomplete ancient texts my father read."

"I wonder why Brother Feng suddenly mentioned this?"

"As far as Shen knows, the Dao Source seems to relate to secrets above the Nascent Soul transformation."

Feng Changyou nodded and said, "The Dao Source indeed relates to matters beyond the Nascent Soul transformation."

"I mention this to you two today because my brother discovered a secret in the Southern Border."

"This secret is greatly significant; although Celestial Sandalwood Mountain has some foundation, it’s impossible to enjoy it alone."

"I tell you two this wishing for our three families to join forces, perhaps we can get a share."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an and Jiang Xiuqi’s reactions were different.

To Jiang Xiuqi, what Feng Changyou talked about seemed rather distant.

Although Luoxia Mountain is currently under the Golden Core Influence, the Sect itself in Danzhou is shaky, threatened with extermination at any time.

Once the Mountain Gate in Danzhou is destroyed, Luoxia Mountain will suffer a severe blow.

And he, as the strongest in the Sect, only recently broke through to Golden Core level.

The gap from Golden Core to Purple Mansion and then to Nascent Soul is vast, akin to separating heaven from earth, pursuing Dao Source related to Nascent Soul transformation at this moment feels somewhat unrealistic.

But Shen Wen’an’s thoughts were not quite the same.

Since discovering the matter of Dao Source, the Shen Family had been secretly preparing.

He was surprised, however, by what kind of background Celestial Sandalwood Mountain had that they dared involve themselves with Dao Source affairs?

"I won’t hide from you; Celestial Sandalwood Mountain has definite news that the four major True Monarch forces in the Southern Border and some unknown powerhouses are setting up in Yangnao Land all for the Dao Source."

Feng Changyou spoke again, revealing something the Shen Family had long speculated.

Seeing the two with peculiar expressions, Feng Changyou smiled faintly and said, "Celestial Sandalwood Mountain has some foundation, but would never dare to snatch benefits from True Monarchs."

"What Feng refers to by getting a share is the Spiritual Material beneath the Dao Source."

"A Dao Source is the source of a realm, like the foundation of this Seven Layer Tower."

"And Spiritual Material constitutes the framework of this realm, with the remaining Spiritual Qi and Laws like bricks and stones, jointly maintaining the operation of a realm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiuqi and Shen Wen’an were somewhat enlightened.

Regarding the connection between Spiritual Material and Dao Source, Shen Wen’an and his father Shen Yuan had analyzed many times, yet they never fully understood the relationship.

Now with Feng Changyou’s explanation, he suddenly became enlightened.

"True Monarch forces plot the Dao Source; we can take a step back and strive for a Spiritual Material."

When Feng Changyou spoke again, Shen Wen’an asked in confusion.

"May I ask Brother Feng, how many types of Spiritual Materials are there?"

His father Shen Yuan had specially searched for some ancient text records regarding Spiritual Materials, speculating there are at least five types.

Celestial Sandalwood Mountain apparently holds more secrets, and he wishes to see if his father’s speculation is correct.

Feng Changyou shook his head upon hearing this.

"I don’t know how many types of Spiritual Materials there are, but I can be certain there is more than one."

"Yangnao Land and the Southern Border belong to the same realm, so Spiritual Materials should be shared."

"Currently, Celestial Sandalwood Mountain has precise information that the ’Tribulation’ type within Spiritual Materials has been obtained by Longevity Pavilion among the four major True Monarch forces in the Southern Border’s Central Domain."

"My brother said the Spiritual Materials hidden in Yangnao Land should be more numerous than those in the Southern Border."

"The reason is that Daying Immortal Mansion once schemed for Yangnao Land’s Dao Source and divided the entirety of Yangnao Land with the Void Combination Corridor Grand Array, marking the Southern Border as Yin and the current Yangnao Land as Yang."

"As far as Feng knows, ’Void,’ ’Primordial Spirit,’ and ’Obscurity’ types of Spiritual Materials belong to Yang, most likely hidden within Yangnao Land."

Feng Changyou’s analysis truly broadened their horizons.

Shen Wen’an mentally noted these, planning to inform his father Shen Yuan to see if it would help his extrapolation of the Dao Source matter.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Feng, what benefits do Spiritual Materials offer to us?"

Jiang Xiuqi listened for a long time but didn’t hear Feng Changyou mention the benefits of Spiritual Materials.

Since it’s related to True Monarchs’ schemes, the three families’ joint attempt at Spiritual Materials involves tremendous risk, and if the benefits aren’t sufficient, the risk might not be worth it.

"The benefits are indeed substantial."

Feng Changyou’s eyes flashed with a gleam as he said, "My brother mentioned that Spiritual Materials resemble Laws; the strength of each Spiritual Material will affect a realm’s trajectory."

"Holding one equates to grasping the general outline of multiple Laws."

"For example, the Void type, also known as the ’Truth of Emptiness,’ with the Dao being formless, achieving ultimate emptiness, steadfastly preserving stillness."

"Void type represents space, containment, concealment, silence, causality, and transformation, etc."

His voice paused, and Feng Changyou’s expression grew somewhat grave. "You two must be familiar with the Underworld, right?"

Shen Wen’an and Jiang Xiuqi nodded upon hearing this.

They are certainly familiar with the Underworld, especially Shen Wen’an.

Having fought multiple times with individuals from the Underworld, even slaying some of them.

"You two might not know, but the Underworld is a force holding a Dao Source."

"And the Dao Source world held by the Underworld possesses strong Void attributes."
