Chapter 895 - 291: Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms (Part 2)

The Immortal Golden Nature being Heaven’s conspiracy is true.

But the immortal aura contained within it is real.

This is also why, once conditions are met, Golden Core Cultivators aligned with the Golden Nature can nearly infinitely reincarnate.

Shen Yuan originally wanted to refuse, but faced with Shen Xiubai’s eyes full of expectation, he glanced at his aged and lifeless face and felt a moment of reluctance.

With a flash of light in his hand, he directly took out a human doll sealed by layers of Power of Great Derivation.

Inside the doll was the Golden Nature previously extracted from Shen Wenxing’s body.

"Child, you must promise great-grandfather never to let this thing enter your body."

When he forcibly removed the Golden Nature from Shen Wenxing’s body earlier, he had a vague feeling.

The Golden Nature feels like some sort of evil parasite, whose ultimate goal seems to be continuously extracting something from cultivators’ bodies.

Shen Xiubai received the doll and nodded, saying: "Great-grandfather, rest assured, Xiubai has discretion."

"By the way, has Ah Die... returned?"

Storing the doll that sealed the Golden Nature into the Storage Bag, Shen Xiubai suddenly turned the conversation, asking.

Shen Yuan’s expression froze.

Last time he sensed that Shen Xiubai’s emotions were somewhat off, afraid he might act rashly, he deceived him by saying his father Shen Chongxu would return after the yearly memorial.

But now it is already the second hot summer, and Shen Chongxu has actually not returned.

"You know of the bloodline matter, recent days Xiuyan personally went to the Southern Border for it. Your father... he seems a bit busy and knowing you couldn’t get away temporarily, he didn’t return."

One lie always needs many other lies to be patched.

Shen Yuan, helpless, had no choice but to fabricate another lie.

Shen Xiubai’s face flashed a hint of desolation, and then he smiled faintly: "Then just wait a little longer, perhaps... there will be another opportunity next time."

"Great-grandfather, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with."

While speaking, a faint Spiritual Charm emerged from his fingertips, gently touching Shen Yuan’s brow.

Moments later, Shen Yuan looked at him with slight amazement.

Shen Xiubai smiled faintly: "Hidden Dragon Mountain has fortunes and can be considered the ancestral land of our Shen Family, the people here should be accustomed to it."

"Anyway, when the entire Yangnao Land is about to be destroyed, Xiubai plans to move this mountain into the Five Elements Secret Realm."

"Aside from preserving the mountain’s fortunes, Xiubai can also afford to be lazy, without spending heart spirit to make the Secret Realm evolve a gigantic mountain."

Shen Yuan nodded.

"Such a mountain-moving technique is not easy to find, but now many cultivators have arrived at Yangnao Land, great-grandfather will later have your uncle ask around and see if any external cultivators possess such a technique."

Shen Xiubai stood up tremblingly, bowed to him, and said: "In this way, I must trouble great-grandfather."

"Great-grandfather, Xiubai takes his leave first."

After the salute, he cast a Spirit Light into the void before him.

After the void rippled, it slowly cracked open, forming a portal.

Through the hazy light, Shen Yuan vaguely saw a vast and flat dark world behind the portal.

Yet the world behind the portal was desolate, with no sun, moon, or stars, giving an intense feeling of loneliness at a glance.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Thirty years.

For these thirty years, Shen Xiubai has been living alone in such an environment, hasn’t he?

"Child, you have suffered."

Shen Yuan stood up, looking at Shen Xiubai, moving towards the portal with faltering steps, and spoke with a sigh.

Shen Xiubai’s figure slightly paused, then turned around and smiled: "It’s all what Xiubai ought to do, great-grandfather, take care."

As the words fell, his figure slowly stepped into the portal, disappearing from sight.

...

Beidi County, Extreme North Snowfield.

Xu Zhan and Shen Chongzhen teamed up with Zhou Xuan from the Ice God Palace and have already excavated the site sealed beneath ice.

As expected, the site is an Ancient Immortal Sect named the Profound Frost Sect.

Based on some clues found in the site and Zhou Xuan’s explanations, Xu Zhan can vaguely determine; the era of this Profound Frost Sect seems older than the Daying Immortal Mansion.

Only, this Profound Frost Sect didn’t seem to have been annihilated but voluntarily migrated from this place.

Thus, most of the good things in the site were taken away, leaving little valuable treasures for Xu Zhan and others.

Which makes Zhou Xuan feel very frustrated.

Knowing that she mastered ice techniques, nearly all the excavation at the site was her effort alone.

After months of hard work, only a pile of broken bricks and some low-grade materials sealed in ice were unearthed.

The huge gap naturally left her with considerable resentment.

Xu Zhan, seeing the meager bounty from the site, was similarly frustrated.

The major efforts Zhou Xuan put into this snowfield at least paid off in the form of some top-grade icy jade pulp.

Their party likely has to return empty-handed.

After thoroughly scouring the site, everyone piled together what they found.

With a glance at the tattered pile, silver-haired Zhou Xuan’s eyes flashed with disdain.

"Forget it, forget it, this girl doesn’t care to look at these scraps."

"If you want them, take them all back."

The Ice God Palace is a significant force, and she, as the sect’s Grand Elder’s personal disciple, has seen many good items and naturally disdains the leftovers before her.

Xu Zhan, seeing this, smiled faintly and said: "These items may be unremarkable, but taking them back for the lower cultivation level clansmen to use is still quite good."
