"Wait two more years."

"Wait until Chongming is a bit older, until he's married, then try to break through."

"Even if it fails by then..."

"Hmph!"

Shen Yuan interrupted him with a cold snort, "What, if you fail to break through, you're just going to peacefully die and leave this mess for your father and son?"

Shen Wenxing chuckled awkwardly and changed the topic.

"Father, Immortal Wei has been in seclusion for two months now and hasn't broken through yet, could there be any mishap?"

Shen Yuan sighed, "Whether there is or not, we don't really know."

"But as the sect leader and after lingering at the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm for over a decade, there should be no problem. Just be patient and wait."

Shen Wenxing nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Ah Die, I've been pondering something for a long time and still haven't figured it out."

"The Innate Wood Essence Qi is clearly very compatible with the Spirit Root of Immortal Wei and her cultivation techniques, why would she refuse it back then?"

Shen Yuan turned to look at him meaningfully and said, "Perhaps this matter shattered some of her preconceived notions."

"Enough, let's discuss the main reason for your visit."

Although he had been trying to break through earlier, he could still sense Shen Wenxing standing on the floating bridge outside the pavilion for over an hour, presumably because he had something important to say.

Shen Wenxing cupped his hands and said, "Chongming sent a secret letter two days ago."

"It describes discovering a hidden presence of a suspected Spirit Ore in the mountains using the Vein-Seeking Skill."

"But the Spirit Ore is very deep, and a group of powerful Pig Demons guard the main ore vein. They didn't dare to go deeper and couldn't confirm what kind of Spirit Ore it is."

"I came to ask Wen'an to take a look."

"Because of the sudden move by the Suihuo Sect, the current situation in Danzhou is very tense."

"We must quickly establish some alliances."

Shen Yuan nodded, "You handle it, I need to go out and see for myself."

"Recently, Chongxu and those newly discovered Immortal Seedling kids have been led by Fish Fairy in cultivation, we can't continually trouble her."

Saying this, Shen Yuan left the Black Water Pavilion with hands behind his back.

As he reached the front courtyard of the manor, he heard the sounds of sparring echoing from the martial arts arena before he even entered the gate.

Curiously stepping over the threshold, he suddenly sensed a wave of Spiritual Qi emanating from the martial arts arena, followed by Shen You's angry scream!

"Shen Chongxu, are you insane!"

Shen Yuan frowned and quickly entered the martial arts arena where he saw Yu Jin hurriedly assisting Shen Chongxu, checking his arm.

On the side, Shen You was pouting, her body still emanating fluctuations of spiritual power.

Seeing Shen Yuan, the little girl immediately rushed over in tears.

"Grandfather, I don't want to train with him anymore..."

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, wiped her tears, and approached.

"Uncle Shen."

Yu Jin apologized slightly raising her head, "Just a dislocation, I've just healed him using spiritual power."

Shen Yuan cupped his hands, "Sorry to trouble Fish Fairy."

"Go on, take a break, go and play."

After dismissing the few children in the martial arts arena, Shen Yuan approached the silent Shen Chongxu, "What's going on, tell me?"

The little boy grinned, shook his head, "Nothing, grandpa, I'm going to play."

As he watched the little one run out, Yu Jin's expression was complex, "Uncle Shen, Chongxu he..."

For a moment, she didn't know how to evaluate this four-year-old child.

She could only recount what happened earlier in simple terms.

"Shen You had already suppressed him, but... he actually wrenched his arm out of the socket to counter with a punch at Shen You, forcing her to use her spiritual power shield..."

Yu Jin sighed slightly, shaking her head.

She couldn't understand how a four-year-old child could have such great determination and such a fierce heart?

It was supposed to be a simple spar between siblings.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes became deep, and he sighed, "This brat is always like this, don't be fooled by his playful nature and harmless demeanor."

"But when he gets serious, he's like a wolf cub."

"Fish Fairy, I have broken through, so I'll take over with the kids and not bother you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin sensed Shen Yuan's Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer realm and immediately smiled, "Congratulations, Uncle Shen."

Shen Yuan waved repeatedly, "My talents are poor, no idea if I'll ever touch the threshold of the Fetal Breathing Realm in this life."

"The hope of the Shen Family lies with the younger generation."

Yu Jin nodded, "Noble Immortal Sects are always like this, the elders give their lives to fight, to struggle, just to bring better resources and opportunities for the younger generation."

"Uncle Shen might not be aware, but at Luoxia Mountain we hardly have elders who die in closed-door seclusion."

"When those elders and seniors realize a breakthrough is hopeless, they leave the sect and venture into various secret realms and dangerous places, not only to seize even a slim chance to defy fate but also to search for more cultivation resources for the sect younger generation."

"With their sacrifices, Luoxia Mountain grew strong in mere centuries to rank among the top sects in Qishan."

Shen Yuan nodded.

He secretly appreciated that it was this spirit of legacy and dedication that ensured Luoxia Mountain's inevitable strength.

"Since Uncle Shen has broken through, I'll leave the kids to you, I'm off to see Senior Sister." Yu Jin bowed and walked toward the rear courtyard.

Frontline at Hidden Dragon Mountain.

When Shen Wen'an arrived, Shen Chongming and three others were gathered drawing a map.

Before the arrival of the Immortal Sect, Yu Country hadn't precisely charted Hidden Dragon Mountain. During his time at the frontline, Shen Chongming patrolled daily, felt that these vast mountains needed a precise map while hunting Western Wilderness Barbarian Race cultivators.
