Chapter 1017: Reunion with Luo Tianxing (Part 3)

Shen Xiuchan saw this and hurried forward.

Huang Lingshan’s face did not show the joy that came from the breakthrough of Purple Mansion and the increase in strength.

Looking at Shen Xiuchan’s dejected face, she smiled and said, “It’s okay, all the Purple Mansion Nascent Souls in Cangming Sea Region are like me.”

“There’s nothing bad about it.”

Shen Xiuchan didn’t speak. After thinking for a long time, he said dejectedly, “It must be that I neglected some details, or else…”

“Alright, it’s just destiny.”

Seeing Shen Xiuchan’s guilty expression, Huang Lingshan comforted him, “This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

“At least my current strength isn’t affected, and I can fully exert my strength in the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal Realm.”

“You should go and make some preparations. Let’s find a place where cultivators exist and first figure out the specific location of this sea region within the Cangming Sea Region.”

“We also need to consider how to establish ourselves.”

Huang Lingshan’s temperament was quite broad-minded, or perhaps she had considered the result of the Golden Nature separation failure beforehand and was mentally prepared.

Though the separation of Golden Nature wasn’t successful, she could accept it calmly.

Shen Xiuchan sighed heavily and eventually said nothing more. After nodding in agreement, he left.

…

Jiuzhou World.

Following Shen Yuan’s method, Shen Xiuyan directly had people open four channels connecting to the outside world.

With these four channels, Jiuzhou World could continually draw the Power of Heaven and Earth from outside to supplement the world’s operation and the daily cultivation of Jiuzhou World’s cultivators.

At the manor below Inference Saint Mountain.

In the family hall, Shen Xiuyan was reviewing reports sent from various states and provinces of Jiuzhou. Suddenly, a figure rode on the wind from afar, hurriedly landing at the hall entrance and quickly stepped inside.

“Patriarch.”

The visitor was Shen Xiuzhuo.

As the first of the fourth generation of Shen Family, the patriarchal position should have been his, but Shen Xiuzhuo had no interest in it.

Now that Shen Xiuyan had assumed the patriarchal position, he was happy to be idle, spending his days traveling and cultivating with his wife Xu Qingzhi in Jiuzhou World like a pair of immortal lovers.

Fortunately, he still cared about the family’s great cause, paying attention to conditions in various places during his travels in Jiuzhou World, and solving any problems he could.

This time, he hurried back to Inference Saint Mountain to see Shen Xiuyan, obviously having discovered something he could not resolve.

Hearing his voice, Shen Xiuyan set down the silk brocade in his hand, stood up, and saluted, “Elder brother.”

Shen Xiuzhuo returned the salute and, without delaying further, said solemnly, “During my travels in Qingzhou, I encountered a strange event.”

“I heard from the common people of Qingzhou, that starting last month, the sea suddenly began to churn up ferocious demon beasts.”

“These demon beasts not only hunt the fish in the sea but also attacked many fishermen who went out to sea.”

“In Jiuzhou World, apart from the Western Territory Liang Province, aren’t there no other demons?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuyan also furrowed his brows.

There are demons in Jiuzhou World, but those demons all came from the Celestial Sandalwood Mountain in the Yangnao Land. After the battle at Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and Celestial Aromatic Mountain, Shen Wen’an and others killed many Golden Core Great Demons of Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and subdued the Plant Great Demon Hua Qing and other little demons under favorable relations with Shen Family.

After the Dao’s collapse, these demon cultivators also came to Jiuzhou World, and were settled in Western Territory Liang Province.

As for the Qingzhou Sea Region mentioned by Shen Xiuzhuo, no demons existed there.

Moreover, the current environment of Jiuzhou World was not sufficient for those unevolved wild beasts to gain intelligence and cultivate into demons.

After pondering for a bit, he suddenly realized where the demons in Qingzhou Sea Region came from!

Sea Eye Channel!

Months ago, following Shen Yuan’s instructions, he opened four channels connecting to the outside world.

These four channels all linked to the seabed of the endless ocean in Cangming Sea Region.

The reason for this was partly for safety.

None of the cultivators outside this world would wander idle at the bottom of the sea.

Choosing the channels at the seabed is more concealed and not easily discovered.

Another important reason is that by setting the channels underwater, they can better absorb the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, allowing Jiuzhou World’s source power to increase rapidly.

As a result, the four channels are also called “Sea Eye Channels.”

Shen Xiuchan, Huang Lingshan and others once traveled to the outside world through the southernmost Liaozhou channel of Jiuzhou World.

He also neglected the fact that since the Sea Eye Channels can allow people of Jiuzhou World to go out, they naturally can also allow creatures from outside in.

This leads to the probability that the demon beasts rampaging in Qingzhou Sea Region have discovered the Sea Eye Channel.

Those demon beasts causing havoc in Qingzhou Sea Region most likely came through the Sea Eye Channel.

Having figured this out, he immediately saluted Shen Xiuzhuo, “Elder brother, there is something I need you to personally take care of.”

Seeing this, Shen Xiuzhuo hurriedly returned the salute, “How could it be ‘trouble’? Patriarch, if there is anything, just give the command.”

Shen Xiuyan managed to fend off the “calamity” for him, allowing him leisure. Naturally, he won’t refuse any matter he can handle.

“Please trouble elder brother to visit Luoxia Mountain and Celestial Sword Mountain to invite Jiang Xiuqi elder and several Sword Immortals from Cyan Ruo Sword House to descend the mountain.”

“With elder brother and the respected seniors together going to Qingzhou first to hunt demons, then see if Elder Jiang has a way to set up an array that can prevent extraterrestrial demon beasts and cultivators from intruding through the Sea Eye Channels without affecting the channels’ ability to draw power.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuzhuo saluted, “I will handle this right away!”

After leaving the family hall, he rode the wind towards the eastern side of Inference Saint Mountain.
