She had known Shen Wen’an for almost six decades, from initial curiosity, to later admiration, and finally deciding to beco Dao companions.
Until they beca true husband and wife and gave birth to Shen Chongzhen...
In all these sixty years, Wei Qiuling felt she had never seen such a smile on Shen Wen’an’s face.
She understood it was because the pressure Shen Wen’an carried was too great.
The enemies of the Shen Family changed one after another, and each ti the enemies faced were enough to suffocate the family.
It was only today, having successfully broken through the Golden Core, that he gained so confidence.
"Third Uncle, I have already arranged for people to prepare your Golden Core Assembly. When should we set the date for the assembly?"
After so teasing, Shen Chongming said seriously.
The group moved to the courtyard pavilion and sat down, Shen Chongzhen busily preparing tea for his parents and brother.
"There’s no rush for the assembly,"
Shen Wen’an took the tea cup, sipped lightly, and said, "I plan to go to Fla Lake City in the next couple of days."
"Ah Die, why are you going to Fla Lake City?" Shen Chongzhen asked curiously.
Shen Wen’an looked at him with a faint smile, "Immortal Dao Cultivators cultivate the Golden Core; for us Sword Cultivators, at the Golden Core Realm, we cultivate the Sword Pill."
"The core of this Sword Pill is one’s own Lifebound Magical Sword."
"I am going to Fla Lake City to refine the Dragon Soul Magical Sword by borrowing the Gold Essence Qi from the Magma Lake there."
"After that, I will rge the Golden Nature to achieve a true Golden Core."
Shen Chongzhen was enlightened.
The uncle and nephews chatted for a while longer, then Shen Wen’an’s tone shifted, "Is your grandfather still at the Black Water Pavilion?"
Grandfather?
Shen Chongming was montarily stunned and suddenly realized sothing was wrong too.
Breaking through to the Golden Core caused such a commotion that Grandfather Shen Yuan couldn’t not know.
Now that the phenonon had dissipated and all returned to calm, yet he didn’t erge, which was clearly odd.
Noticing the look on Shen Chongming’s face, Shen Wen’an felt a sinking feeling, without any wasted words, he vanished from the courtyard.
Beside him, Shen Chongming and Wei Qiuling, also hurriedly headed towards the Black Water Pavilion.
On the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion.
After Shen Wen’an appeared, he found Shen Yuan in a faint by the window.
"Father!"
He hurriedly rushed forward and helped Shen Yuan up from the ground.
"Father?"
Downstairs, Shen Chongming and the others had arrived, hearing the noise, the three ca up to the second floor.
"Father?"
"Grandfather!"
The group gathered around Shen Yuan.
"Third Uncle, what happened to Grandfather?"
Shen Chongming asked anxiously.
Shen Wen’an didn’t speak.
He recalled, at the final mont of breaking through the Golden Core, attempting for a Flawless Golden Core by bombarding the Celestial Gate again, he ultimately failed.
But following that, a slight mist ford by the Power of Great Derivation enveloped his body.
At the mont, it seed that the mist-like Power of Great Derivation was probably from his father.
And the current situation might have been caused by so backlash.
"Step back a bit,"
Wei Qiuling said in a deep voice.
"Husband, you support Father."
Seating Shen Yuan in a cross-legged position, Wei Qiuling imdiately channeled her Spiritual Power into Shen Yuan’s body.
The Wood Attribute Spiritual Power contained a certain Power of Life, making it excellent for healing.
Nourished by a large amount of pure Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, the unconscious Shen Yuan slowly awakened.
"Father."
"Grandfather."
Seeing him open his eyes, Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming hurried to his side.
Wei Qiuling stopped her actions and asked with concern, "Father, are you alright?"
Shen Yuan shook his head slightly, adjusted his breathing with his eyes closed for a mont, and then exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.
"It’s okay, just so backlash."
Shen Chongzhen and Shen Chongming supported him to sit on a nearby mat.
"Ah Die, at the last critical mont of breaking through, the Power of Great Derivation that appeared..."
Shen Wen’an asked in a deep voice.
Shen Yuan nodded slightly, "It was done by ."
"Did you achieve a Flawless Golden Core this ti?"
Facing his father’s expectant gaze, Shen Wen’an shook his head a bit disappointedly, "Just missed by a hair."
He recounted the fear he felt when he captured the Spiritual Qi from the Celestial Gate at the end.
"I felt that if I tarried for even a single breath, I would be slain instantly."
"After the Celestial Gate closed, the thunderous boom that resounded might have been an enraged strike from the existence above the gate."
Shen Yuan nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice, "I must have angered that unknown existence by deceiving the Celestial Gate with the Power of Great Derivation."
"So be it if it’s not Flawless; you’ve absorbed so much pure Spiritual Qi descended from the Celestial Gate; your Golden Core quality is not low."
"There’s still hope for the future Purple Mansion Nascent Soul."
This deceiving-the-heavens act nearly resulted in disaster and also didn’t allow Shen Wen’an to form a Flawless Golden Core; Shen Yuan also felt so disappointnt in his heart.
But fate is like that; changing destiny for others isn’t easy.
This ti, borrowing the White Jade Turtle Shell and using the Path of Great Derivation to deceive the heavens, exhausted a Life Talisman on the Turtle Shell and also caused him considerable backlash.
"Grandfather, I am having Xiuzhuo prepare the Golden Core Assembly for Third Uncle; do you think we should invite so Golden Core Cultivators from the Southern Border?"
A Golden Core Assembly without other Golden Core Cultivators as guests would seem sowhat shabby.
No one from Danzhou could co over, and apart from Jiang Xiuqi, there were no other Golden Core Cultivators in Yangnao Land.
Shen Chongming thought of inviting so Golden Core Cultivators from the Southern Border.
At least, right now, the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain are cooperating with Celestial Sandalwood Mountain; it’s appropriate to invite the Golden Core Ancestor from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain to attend the assembly at this opportunity.
"Even if you invite them, they may not co."
"Right now, the world in Yangnao Land changing once more; I have a feeling so changes are about to occur."
