Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 729: Chapter 263: Spirit Transformation

The dark clouds above seemed like a vast net that couldn’t hold, releasing heavy snowflakes.

Shen Wen’an reached out his hand to catch a slowly falling snowflake, only to find it exceptionally cold.

These eerie snowflakes, if they fell into the hands of ordinary people, would freeze their hands instantly.

He blew gently, blowing away the snowflake from his palm, and waved to set up a Protective Sword Essence Light Shield around his body.

The drifting snowflakes landed on the light shield and slowly slid off.

This strange heavy snow did not last long. Once the surroundings were covered in snow and ice, Shen Wen’an suddenly heard the sound of footsteps crunching through the snow behind him.

He turned around, surprised, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Father?"

"Why are you here?"

The snow began to abate, and Shen Yuan, wearing a wide gray robe and luxurious clothing, walked over with his hands behind his back.

His eyes stared at the gigantic turtle apparition almost buried under the snow, with a peculiar look in his eyes.

Over the years, the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness had been refined by about three-fifths.

Now, upon seeing the gigantic turtle apparition suddenly, Shen Yuan vaguely sensed a slight disturbance in the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Father, don’t use Divine Sense to observe that thing."

Seeing his father’s gaze fixed on the gigantic turtle apparition, Shen Wen’an hurriedly reminded him, fearing he might unknowingly probe with Divine Sense.

Shen Yuan nodded.

He was different from others; he immediately realized at the first sight that the turtle apparition was not a living creature.

Moreover, Shen Yuan vaguely felt that the turtle apparition possibly related to the Spirit and Dao Source.

"Observing this, I feel something..."

"Wen’an, would you mind standing guard for me?"

With these words, he came to Shen Wen’an’s side, flashed a burst of light in his hand, and produced a cushion, sitting cross-legged in the snow.

Shen Wen’an looked at him curiously but didn’t ask much.

After sitting down, Shen Yuan immediately began to activate the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness.

The surface of the Turtle Shell flickered with Spiritual Charm, and the Power of Great Derivation also appeared on Shen Yuan’s body.

Gradually, Shen Yuan felt as if everything around him disappeared.

His Divine Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness seemed to reach a strange place.

The world was vast and desolate; the earth cracked, and endless boiling lava flowed wantonly on the ground.

Standing in this broken world, Shen Yuan looked up and found two fragmented stars floating overhead!

One star was covered with cracks, surrounded by numerous bizarre corpses.

The other star was even more terrifying, resembling an egg chopped open crudely!

The ruptured star wasn’t completely separated, with numerous fragments floating around, and the exposed core spewing magnificent rays.

Thud!

Thud!

As Shen Yuan felt overwhelmed by the astonishing scene before him, rumbling sounds came from the void behind him!

He slowly turned around and saw another sight too shocking to bear!

In the dim starry sky, an enormous turtle, far larger than the stars, was slowly making its way over.

The rumbling sound was made by the four legs of the gigantic turtle stepping into the void.

Looking up again, Shen Yuan saw a magnificent ancient city on the back of the giant turtle.

The city had high walls on all sides, marked by time, with cracks and dried bloodstains.

Shen Yuan even noticed that a broken spear was lodged atop the parapet wall on the city’s left side!

The giant turtle slowly passed over his position, dragging the massive city towards the depths of the starry sky.

Boom!

Just as Shen Yuan was about to make out what was etched on the city gate above the giant turtle’s back, a tremendous explosion abruptly pulled his consciousness back to his body!

He opened his eyes, and his body was still at the riverbank of Laishui.

In front of him, Shen Wen’an was holding up a Sword Element Light Shield, protecting both father and son within it.

All around, blocks of ice of various sizes came crashing down, deflected outside by the Sword Element Shield.

Shen Yuan stood up and asked softly:

"What’s going on?"

Shen Wen’an turned and slightly cupped his hands: "It seems Xu Zhan has broken through."

"Father, look."

Pointing to the vague silhouette in the dark clouds above, Shen Wen’an said, "That’s Xu Zhan."

"That naughty lad just burst through the solid ice from the riverbed and is currently crazily absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world and the energy from the clouds."

Shen Yuan sighed a little in regret.

"Why did that rascal have to break through now of all times?"

If it weren’t for the commotion caused by Xu Zhan, he might have seen what was engraved on the city gate atop the turtle’s back.

If he just knew a name, he might find some clues among the numerous Ancient Texts.

However, with a much calmer disposition than in his youth, he didn’t mind these things too much.

Shen Yuan looked at Xu Zhan in the void, continuously drawing energy from the surroundings, feeling quite gratified.

The Five Body Cultivation Realms culminate in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and with Xu Zhan breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, the power of the Shen Family received a significant boost.

Moreover, Xu Zhan’s breakthrough verified his own theories, enlightening the Shen Family’s numerous Body Cultivators about the way forward, further perfecting the Body Cultivation path of the Shen Family legacy.

Father and son only gazed for a moment, and Xu Zhan in the clouds had absorbed enough power, slowly opened his eyes, filled with heroic spirit, clenching his fists fiercely!

Bang!

A surge of formidable energy immediately dispersed the accumulated dark clouds, and the long-missed golden sunset poured down from above.

Feeling his newfound strength, Xu Zhan was quite satisfied, smiling broadly, he suddenly flashed down from the void to stand before Shen Wen’an and Shen Yuan.
