Shen Yuan spoke in a deep voice.
He also doesn’t believe that Yangnao Land has another four hundred years left.
All this stems from the incident some time ago when Shen Chongxu broke through to the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm and was possessed by the incomplete will within the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace.
At that time, to help Shen Chongxu, his Divine Sense crossed the vast space-time and appeared in Shen Chongxu’s Sea of Consciousness for a brief confrontation with that incomplete will.
Shen Yuan clearly remembered that when he tapped into the power of the White Jade Turtle Shell, that incomplete will had called the White Jade Turtle Shell the "power of Law." Initially, to quickly extinguish the opponent, he hadn’t thought much of it.
But later, upon careful reflection on that statement by the incomplete will, he suddenly realized that the White Jade Turtle Shell he found might be a "Spiritual Transformation" itself.
Only then could he explain why the White Jade Turtle Shell had such miraculous power.
Shen Chongxu cupped his hands, saying, "All of this is somewhat unbelievable, and I can’t be certain."
"But the movements of the several major Golden Core influences cannot be ignored by our Shen Family."
"I came to see if the family could hold back one force, and then..."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a hint of intense Evil Qi inadvertently emanated from him.
"I wish to join forces with the family in the Southern Border, first eliminating one of them."
His current cultivation is at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm.
Wushi Qianrou, the Artifact Spirit of the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace, said that condensing a Blood Pill requires a large amount of cultivators’ Essence Blood.
If she were to rely solely on secretly plundering, who knows how long it would take to gather enough?
Even though he told Wushi Qianrou that breaking through to the Golden Core isn’t urgent, given the current changes, adjustments must be made.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned slightly pale.
To completely wipe out a Golden Core influence!?
Such a crazy idea had never crossed their minds.
"This matter should not be rashly undertaken!"
"Those Golden Core influences aren’t as simple as you think, especially Jianan Temple, its strength far exceeds your imagination."
Shen Wen’an spoke solemnly.
These Golden Core influences in the Southern Border of Yangnao Land might seem to be bullied by the Shen Family, but once things escalate, each of those Golden Core influences with long inheritances has deeper layers than appear.
Shen Yuan also added, "Although the latent danger within that furnace was resolved last time, you must not be complacent."
After all, the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace is a demon artifact and over-reliance can surely affect one’s mind.
Listening to his elders, Shen Chongxu nodded slightly and said, "Then I’ll return and first find a way to gain some benefits from them."
Shen Chongming nodded and said, "Gaining benefits is fine, but be sure not to provoke Celestial Sandalwood Mountain."
"They are currently our Shen Family’s ally."
Shen Chongxu chuckled, "Celestial Sandalwood Mountain is far from where I am at Yangquan Mountain, so they won’t be a problem."
"Alright, let’s leave it at that for today."
"Chongming, handle the specifics, will you?"
Shen Yuan pondered and felt the need to discuss the so-called "apocalyptic disaster" privately with Shen Wen’an.
After everyone dispersed, the father and son returned to the Black Water Pavilion, and Shen Wen’an urgently spoke, "Father, I feel that the timeline Chongxu mentioned needs verification."
"We’re afraid we don’t have four hundred years left."
Shen Yuan was momentarily taken aback, then nodded in agreement, "I feel the same, but some matters are still unclear and can’t be concluded yet."
"Wen’an, during this time, you need to personally visit a few places."
The map Shen Chonghong brought back from the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm happened to mark seven locations in total.
Apart from the three already confirmed locations of Spiritual Transformations, he planned to let Shen Wen’an find time to view the other four.
Shen Wen’an nodded, "I think the same, it’s best to confirm how many Spiritual Transformations have occurred now."
"First, check those in Yangnao Land, and for the Southern Border, wait a while longer before going."
Shen Chongxu mentioned the Southern Border Golden Core influences are showing signs of wanting to break agreements, so he didn’t dare to venture too far.
In case they attack, without him, the Shen Family couldn’t withstand it.
"Okay, handle the specifics yourself."
"I’ll continue my calculations in the next few days, and if there’s other news, I’ll inform you."
After nodding, Shen Wen’an left the Black Water Pavilion.
...
In the Clan Court at the foot of the mountain, Shen Li sat cross-legged in a pavilion, holding an ancient beast skin book.
In the shade before her, the Golden Toad lay still like a stone sculpture, eyes closed.
Sunlight streamed through gaps in the leaves, reflecting golden halos off the Golden Toad, creating a striking appearance.
Currently, the Golden Toad had long reached its former peak and showed signs of breaking through to the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm.
As for the Silver Thread Centipede, that creature was large and disliked staying in the courtyard, preferring to venture into the mountains to hunt demon beasts.
Thus, in quiet cultivation, two figures walked leisurely down the straight path from the entrance.
"Brother Ming, why don’t you talk to her yourself?"
Upon reaching the long steps leading to the Clan Court, Shen Chongxu suddenly halted, looking troubled at Shen Chongming, who had already begun to climb the stone steps.
Shen Chongming also stopped, turned, and said, "Why, after all these years, can you forgive that Liu Family woman but not your own sister?"
"No matter what, Li’Er is your own little sister."
