Chapter 942 - 299: The Second Purple Mansion

Shen Li’s guess was correct, Qi Buyu, blocked outside the array, was indeed quite furious.

But he didn’t dare to leave easily.

Once cultivation reached their level, cause and effect became very important.

Taking on a cause and effect could either push one’s cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds or become one’s heart demon, halting progress.

That’s why, when Xu Xiu was touched by the Shen family’s good fortune in the past, allowing his cultivation to swiftly recover to its peak, he also took on the Shen family’s significant cause and effect.

And this cause and effect need to be repaid.

Qi Buyu came on orders, if he did not protect the Shen family well and any incident occurred, he wouldn’t have a way to report back to Xu Xiu.

Unlike Luo Tianxing, over the years, they had long succumbed to the tyranny of the Great Prosperity True Monarch, especially after Xu Xiu ruthlessly killed Zhang Zeduan not long ago, they dared not have any rebellion.

"No problem, I shall guard outside the array, unless there’s something important, do not go out."

Suppressing his anger, Qi Buyu said coldly, then directly waved his hand to summon a white cloud from afar, and with a flash, settled down on the cloud, sitting above Yunshui City.

Seeing this, Shen Li turned and exchanged a glance with Shen Wen’an, neither spoke further.

When the two returned to the old mansion within the city, Shen Wenxing and Xu Zhan greeted them.

"Who came?"

Shen Wenxing opened his mouth, Shen Li replied, "A Nascent Soul True Monarch sent by Elder Xu, saying he’s here to protect us."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, Yunshui City now had a Nascent Soul expert, providing much more security.

The four were walking slowly towards the old mansion when suddenly a mysterious fluctuation arose from the direction of the rear mountain.

Sensing this spiritual power fluctuation, the four exchanged glances, then all flashed towards it.

When they arrived at the rear mountain, they saw Shen Chongming sitting cross-legged not far from the Light Gate leading to the Five Elements Secret Realm, suspended above his head were countless thunderous sparks!

Dense sparks interweaving with concealed and terrifying aura, during the flickering of thunder, an indescribable Dao resonance seemed to surface around.

"This is..."

Xu Zhan stared at the phenomenon above Shen Chongming’s head with some astonishment, muttering to himself.

While Shen Wenxing and Shen Li turned their eyes to Shen Wen’an.

Their hearts already had a guess, but they weren’t certain.

Meeting their gaze, Shen Wen’an smiled and nodded, "It’s the precursor to a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion."

"Chongming is now attempting to construct the Purple Mansion Dao Palace with the Thunder Law."

Upon hearing this, joy appeared across the three’s faces.

At this tumultuous time, Shen Chongming managing to break through to the Purple Mansion is undoubtedly a great boon for the Shen family.

Unlike the three, Shen Wen’an’s smile watching the Dao Palace prototype suspended above Shen Chongming’s head gradually turned solemn.

He recalled the scene when he condensed his own Purple Mansion Dao Palace.

Concerned whether Shen Chongming might face the same problem he did, where the Purple Mansion Dao Palace conflicts with the Immortal Golden Nature within the Golden Core, being stuck in a predicament.

Now with his father Shen Yuan in seclusion contemplating an important matter, should Shen Chongming encounter the same issue as he did, the four of them wouldn’t be able to help him remove the golden nature from the Golden Core.

People often tend to encounter what they worry about the most.

No sooner had Shen Wen’an had this thought, Shen Chongming, in seclusion, seemed to genuinely encounter trouble.

The Dao Palace shadow built of thunder and lightning had gradually taken shape, radiating brilliant thunder light, slowly descending to the position of the lower abdomen Dantian, intending to enter the Dantian.

However, the Thunder Purple Mansion Dao Palace, attempting several times, resembled an unwelcome outsider, repeatedly blocked outside the Dantian.

Seeing this scene, Shen Wen’an’s heart sank.

Shen Wenxing and the other two showed confused expressions.

"Third uncle, Brother Chongming is this..."

Shen Li looked at Shen Wen’an full of doubt.

Shen Wenxing and Xu Zhan beside him also looked anxiously.

Shen Wen’an shook his head with a bitter smile, "Chongming has encountered the same situation I did before."

"His Purple Mansion Dao Palace seems to have condensed using something from the Shen family’s bloodline, generating repulsion with that thing."

"Now that thing has preemptively occupied the Dantian, hence the Purple Mansion Dao Palace cannot enter."

Shen Chongming’s problem was somewhat different from his previous one.

Back when he condensed the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, sensing that the Golden Core Sword Pill’s golden nature wouldn’t allow the Purple Mansion Dao Palace to form, he preemptively forced the Golden Core Sword Pill out of the Dantian, letting the Purple Mansion Dao Palace occupy the Dantian first.

This resulted in the Golden Core Sword Pill being unable to return to the Dantian.

Now Shen Chongming’s situation was the reverse of his.

He wasn’t sure what to do at the moment.

In seclusion, Shen Chongming seemed to hear the commotion outside.

Upon hearing Third Uncle Shen Wen’an’s words, he thought briefly and quickly made a decision.

With a slight mental sway, stabilizing the shape of the Purple Mansion Dao Palace with a portion of his heart spirit, Shen Chongming submerged all remaining heart spirit into the Dantian!

The Divine Sense manifested, standing before the Golden Core within the Dantian, gazing at the huge Golden Core like a blue sun, emanating golden patterns on its surface, Shen Chongming narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Divine Sense Body quickly pinched a finger technique.

Massive amounts of Thunder Attribute Spiritual Power were frantically extracted from the Golden Core in front, rapidly condensing into a smaller Inner Core in one corner of the Dantian.
