After a slight fluctuation appeared inside the Pill Furnace in front of him, the entire structure seemed to shrink ever so slightly.
This change was difficult to discern with the naked eye, but his palm could feel it.
Upon hearing these words, everyone present exchanged glances.
"Could this thing be alive?"
"Is there something inside it?"
"I think this might be an Immortal Artifact that has already developed self-awareness!"
Many cultivators of the Shen Family, upon hearing Shen Chongxuan’s words, began to whisper, speculating about what this Pill Furnace really was.
At this moment, Shen Chongxuan also could not determine what was happening with the Pill Furnace before him.
However, his gaze was drawn to the complex patterns on the surface of the Pill Furnace.
At first glance, these patterns seemed to be man-made carvings.
But upon closer inspection, one would discover that these patterns gave an impression of being flawless and filled with infinite mysteries.
The more Shen Chongxuan looked, the more fascinated he became, and he immediately waved to stop everyone’s discussions, focusing on studying these patterns.
Everyone fell silent, seeing him fixated on those strange patterns, each starting to observe the giant Pill Furnace.
Boom!
Whoosh!
Just when everyone was in a state akin to enlightenment, the dark Pill Furnace suddenly emanated a vast and supreme power!
In an instant, all the people around the Pill Furnace were blown away by this force, thrown back almost ten sizes, crashing onto the stone wall, and spitting blood.
Struggling to stand, everyone clutched their Dantian and gathered behind Shen Chongxuan.
"Young Master, are you all right?"
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Shen Chongxuan gazed solemnly at the dark Pill Furnace.
The force that erupted from the Pill Furnace just now felt like heavenly might — not strong, but it left a deep impression of supreme power in his heart.
The other cultivators of the Shen Family evidently felt the same, as each gaze directed at the Pill Furnace was filled with shock!
"This thing must be an Immortal Artifact!"
"The power just now made me feel like an ant looking up at the sky..."
Murmured one of the Shen family cultivators.
Everyone else seemed to share this sentiment, with no one opposing.
An Immortal Artifact?
Shen Chongxuan pondered silently in his heart, even beginning to believe that this was indeed an Immortal Artifact.
Yet intuition told him that this dark Pill Furnace didn’t seem to be a real Pill Furnace.
Perhaps even...
Shen Chongxuan had a strange feeling that the Pill Furnace before him wasn’t an entity!
Just as he was musing with suspicion, a slight tremor came from the ground beneath his feet.
"Not good!"
"Those beasts are coming again!"
Liu Gui’s face changed slightly, and he immediately rushed towards the cave entrance.
The rest of the people also reacted and followed him outside.
When the group arrived outside the cave, they indeed saw, beneath the moonlit night sky, one ferocious Demon Beast after another charging out of the forest with blood-red eyes!
"That’s a Fetal Breathing Realm Spider Demon!"
Glancing at the forest, Shen Chongxuan saw a giant spider, the size of an adult bull, covered entirely in black fur, and frowned slightly before rushing towards it.
He knew that if he let this creature attack, the cultivators of the Shen Family behind him would surely suffer casualties. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
But as Shen Chongxuan advanced with his sword, the Spider Demon let out a strange cry, raised its head, and a chillingly gleaming web shot towards him.
Swipe!
Shen Chongxuan, his expression calm, swung his Cyan Bamboo Sword to cut through the web while pointing with his other hand into the void.
As his fingers moved, a "axe" character, entirely composed of Vast Righteous Qi, suddenly formed in the air.
Subsequently, a large amount of Literary Qi surged around, and in the blink of an eye, the "axe" transformed into a giant axe, cleaving towards the Spider Demon below!
Boom!
Even before the giant Literary Qi axe fell, the terrifying pressure pinned the Spider Demon to the ground, rendering it immobile.
Seeing the giant axe descend, the Spider Demon cried out in terror, but could not escape being split in two.
Having dealt with the Spider Demon, Shen Chongxuan then assisted the others in slaying the remaining Demon Beasts one by one.
"Hold on a moment."
But as the last Wolf Demon was about to be surrounded and killed by several Shen family cultivators, a flash of inspiration crossed Shen Chongxuan’s mind.
Upon hearing this, everyone paused, looking over in confusion.
"Spare it. Let’s follow and see what exactly is attracting these Demon Beasts."
Upon hearing these words, everyone was enlightened and quickly cleared the way.
The severely wounded Wolf Demon limped towards the cave, dragging its scarred body.
Shen Chongxuan and the Shen family cultivators followed it from a distance.
When the Wolf Demon reached a fork in the path, it suddenly stopped.
It looked at the middle path, then at the left side, as if unable to decide.
Just as everyone was growing impatient, the Wolf Demon finally made its choice, heading straight for the central passage.
Shen Chongxuan and the others followed it into a central stone chamber, where they saw the Wolf Demon had already arrived in front of a small tree, bowing devoutly at a distance.
"It’s cultivating..."
After watching for a moment and sensing the Demon Essence flowing within the Wolf Demon, Shen Chongxuan spoke softly.
These Demon Beasts charging in fearlessly were merely doing so to cultivate in front of this small tree?
"Kill it."
After observing for a while, Shen Chongxuan waved and turned to leave the cave.
He decided to start from the beginning, thoroughly exploring this cave dwelling to see if he could uncover any clues.
In front of the stone tablet at the cave entrance, Shen Chongxuan carefully stroked the unearthed stone tablet, which had not yet been taken away.
Unlike Shen Chonghong, as a Literary Dao Cultivator, he had a certain understanding of the Da Chu Immortal Text.
