60: Taking stock of the harvest, eager to return home.

The mountain hollow was silent, with only the sound of wind and insects.

Shen Yuanmo sat in meditation in his makeshift Immortal Cave for an entire day and night.

When the first ray of morning sun pierced through the gaps in the leaves on the second day, he slowly opened his eyes.

A mouthful of turbid Qi, like a white ribbon, shot out from his mouth for several zhang, shattering a bluestone on the ground.

He felt the Glazed True Yang Mana within him once again become full and surging, his pale face regained its rosy color, and his eyes became clear and profound again.

“My Mana has fully recovered, and my injuries are no longer serious.”

Shen Yuanmo stood up and stretched his limbs, emitting a series of crackling sounds.

He did not rush to leave, but instead immersed his mind back into his Storage Pouch, carefully taking out the jade box containing the nine-aperture stone milk.

The moment the jade box was opened, an even richer aura of life rushed out, causing the weeds in the entire Immortal Cave to visibly burst with vitality.

Shen Yuanmo's gaze fell upon that wondrous item, which pulsed slightly like a heart.

This was the High Grade, Tier 3 Heaven And Earth Treasure, nine-aperture stone milk!

He reached out a finger and gently touched the surface of the stone milk. A warm, soft sensation came, as if touching the finest warm jade.

A pure, ultimate Origin power slowly seeped into his body along his fingertip.

This mere wisp of power made him feel that his Mana had become even more condensed.

“Good stuff! This is truly good stuff!”

Light flickered in Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

He could clearly feel that the energy contained in this nine-aperture stone milk was enough to instantly revive a dying Mortal, and even allow them to undergo a complete transformation and embark on the path of Immortality.

If used to repair Old Ancestor's cracked Dao foundation, it would definitely be more than enough!

“After Old Ancestor's Dao foundation is repaired, his cultivation will surely stabilize at the peak of Early Stage Foundation Establishment. If he has enough Opportunity, he might even be able to break through to Middle Stage Foundation Establishment in one go!”

Shen Yuanmo's heart was filled with anticipation.

A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, for the current Shen Family, would be as significant as a stabilizing force.

He carefully put away the nine-aperture stone milk again and picked up the soul condensing grass next to it.

These High Grade, Tier 3 Spiritual Plant were supreme treasures for stabilizing the Divine Soul.

After repairing the Dao foundation, using Medicinal Pill refined from soul condensing grass as an aid would allow Old Ancestor's Divine Soul and Dao foundation to perfectly integrate, leaving no hidden dangers.

“These soul condensing grass are not only useful for Old Ancestor, but also for Father and the Third Elder when they try to break through the Foundation Establishment Bottleneck in the future. They can greatly increase their chances of success.”

Shen Yuanmo planned all his gains in his mind one by one.

This trip to the Baiduan Mountain Range had greatly increased his and his Family's reserves.

Besides these Heaven And Earth Treasure, the greatest gain from this trip was the increase in combat experience.

From the battle of wits and courage against the Black Water Profound Serpent, to the life-and-death struggle with the Ink Jade Qilin, and finally to outwitting the Black Fiend Sect Cultivator and decisively detonating the cave (melting cave).

This series of experiences made his Heart-Nature more steady and ruthless.

It gave him a deeper understanding of how to use his own strength and how to coordinate various trump cards.

“The path of Cultivation, as expected, requires more venturing out. Building a car behind closed doors will ultimately not lead to great achievements.”

Shen Yuanmo sighed in his heart.

He stood up, removed the Restriction at the cave entrance, and identified the direction.

Linjiang City was in the southeast direction.

Separated by a thousand li, if he were to fly with his sword, with his current Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, it would still take him two or three days of non-stop flying.

“I must hurry back.”

For some reason, the uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger, as if something bad was happening.

Such premonitions, for a Cultivator, are often not groundless.

Shen Yuanmo no longer hesitated. His figure flickered, transforming into a blue stream of light that shot into the sky, flying at full speed towards the southeast.

Along the way, he pushed his speed to the limit.

The crimson sun sword transformed into a dazzling golden rainbow, carrying him through the sky, leaving a long trail in the clouds wherever he passed.

He did not choose to detour, but flew in a straight line, cutting across the outer region of the Baiduan Mountain Range.

Along the way, he naturally encountered some ignorant Yao Beast.

“Roar!”

A huge, Low Grade, Tier 3 demonic bird, seeing a stream of light daring to intrude into its airspace, immediately let out an angry roar, spread its sharp claws, and pounced towards Shen Yuanmo.

In its eyes, this human Cultivator was nothing more than a snack delivered to its doorstep.

However, Shen Yuanmo, eager to return home, had no desire to get entangled with this Yao Beast.

“Scram!”

Shen Yuanmo didn't even bother to look at it, merely moving his thoughts.

“Clang!”

The crimson sun sword beneath his feet let out a clear sword cry, and an incomparably sharp golden Sword Qi split off and struck upwards!

“Pfft!”

That arrogant Tier 3 demonic bird was struck flying by the golden Sword Qi before it could even react!

Shen Yuanmo's figure did not pause for even a moment, accelerating his escape speed and continuing to fly into the distance.

Along the way, Shen Yuanmo's speed grew faster and faster, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.

Two days later.

When the familiar outlines of mountains appeared at the end of the horizon, Shen Yuanmo finally saw the silhouette of Linjiang City.

However, just as his Divine Sense habitually swept towards Linjiang City, towards the direction of the Shen Family mansion...

His expression suddenly changed!

A monstrous killing intent burst forth uncontrollably from him!

In his Divine Sense, a scene that made his eyes split with rage clearly appeared!

Above the Shen Family mansion, a huge flying boat, entirely black and menacing in appearance, was exuding the terrifying pressure of a Golden Core True Person, like a dark cloud, pressing down heavily on the Shen Family's head!

On the flying boat, a flag embroidered with the ancient character “Wei” fluttered in the wind, utterly arrogant!

And beneath the flying boat, the Glazed Profound Light Formation, personally set up by him for the Shen Family, was now dim and tottering, countless cracks spreading across the light barrier like a spiderweb, clearly on the verge of collapse!

Inside the light barrier, Father Shen Qiming, Old Ancestor Shen Zongdao, and all the clan members had ashen faces.

And at the bow of the flying boat, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes with a gloomy expression slowly raised his hand, and a terrifying Mana capable of destroying the world was gathering in his palm!

Middle Golden Core Stage! Wei Changfeng!

They actually dared! They actually dared to attack the Shen Family while he was away!

“Wei! Family!”

Shen Yuanmo uttered these two words, one by one, his voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air!

An unprecedented fury erupted in his chest like a volcano!

A Dragon has a reverse scale; touch it, and you die!

And his Family was Shen Yuanmo's biggest reverse scale!

He no longer held anything back, his Crimson Sun Glazed Scripture circulated wildly to its extreme, and his entire being transformed into a meteor burning with golden flames, charging towards Linjiang City at a speed exceeding that of sound!
