Chapter 1006 - 309: Unsealing (Part 4)

Shen Xiuyan was contemplating, and suddenly heard Shen Yuan say this, his expression changed slightly.

"Great-grandfather, this is not advisable!"

He now only hoped that the effect of the Mystic Mechanism Escape Armor technique could be sustained for a few more years, giving the Literary Dao of the Jiuzhou World more opportunities to develop.

At that time, even if the location of Jiuzhou World was exposed, the strengthened Literary Dao Cultivators could share some of the pressure.

Yet Shen Yuan now wanted to open the "Mystic Mechanism Escape Armor" ahead of time, which made him feel uneasy.

"Do not rush, listen to the old man finish."

Shen Yuan spoke with a smile: "The old man does not intend to fully open the Mystic Mechanism Escape Armor."

"Recently felt something and gained enough understanding of the Mystic Mechanism Escape Armor."

"It is possible to open several hidden passageways of the Mystic Mechanism Escape Armor for the source to absorb external forces while maintaining its current effect."

Hearing this, Shen Xiuyan was slightly startled, then joyfully cupped his hand: "Great-grandfather can really achieve this!?"

This was the effect he dreamed of.

Previously, he knew clearly that when his great-grandfather Shen Yuan performed the "Mystic Mechanism Escape Armor," he suffered backlash and fell into a several-year slumber.

This idea of his seemed somewhat unrealistic.

Shen Yuan nodded with a smile, then sighed: "Absorbing that drop of Treasure Blood inexplicably was already a huge waste."

"If I can’t do something for this world, the old man would be too ashamed to face you young ones."

Suppressing his excitement, Shen Xiuyan smiled and cupped his hand: "Great-grandfather, please do not say so, you are the backbone of the Shen Family. As long as you are here, no matter how great the problem, we junior members will not fear."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan laughed.

"You little rascal, seem to have learned to be glib..."

"Alright, bring a blank Jade Scroll."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuyan immediately took a Jade Scroll from the Storage Bag and respectfully handed it to Shen Yuan.

Holding the Jade Scroll, Shen Yuan’s hand emitted layers of Spiritual Charm, soon replicating the method to open the passage and the preparations into it.

"Go, be cautious in your actions."

"Once these passageways are opened, people can also pass through."

"But once anyone goes out, there is a risk of Jiuzhou World being exposed."

"As for what to do specifically, great-grandfather trusts your judgment."

When handing the Jade Scroll back to Shen Xiuyan, Shen Yuan advised.

Jiuzhou World had been isolated for over ten years, and now with passageways opened, whether to send people out in advance to gather information was naturally up to Shen Xiuyan, the Patriarch of the Shen Family, to decide.

After all, this is related to his future planning, and Shen Yuan does not want to interfere too much, giving him sufficient authority and trust.

"Great-grandfather, rest assured, Xiuyan understands."

Respectfully accepting the Jade Scroll, Shen Xiuyan rose and said, "If there is nothing further, great-grandfather, I will take my leave."

His mind was now entirely focused on quickly opening the passageways to allow Jiuzhou World’s source to be replenished by external forces.

"Go, go."

Shen Yuan saw his eagerness and did not say more.

...

Outer Sea Region.

At the junction of the Return Sea Cliff and the Snowy Sea Cliff, three beams of light flew from the distance above the sea region, transforming into flying magical artifacts shaped like covered boats.

Several figures dressed in Patrol Hunting Dao Law Enforcement Hall disciple attire walked out from the covered boats.

"Senior Sister Qiu."

"Senior Sister."

"Senior Sister Qiu."

The people exiting the covered boats flashed over to the front of a stern-faced female cultivator.

The female cultivator was wearing a delicate animal skin short coat, holding a black gold Great Bow, with a pair of black gold Curved Sabers tucked behind her exposed wheat-colored abdomen, and hung around her side was a beast skin pouch.

A wild huntress outfit.

This female cultivator was Qiuming Shui, the chief disciple of the Patrol Hunting Dao Law Enforcement Hall, who possessed Purple Mansion Peak Cultivation.

From the dazzling divine bow in her hand, it was clear that Qiuming Shui, like Shen Chongming, was skilled in using longbows.

Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm who use bows as weapons have a relatively obvious characteristic.

Stealth, calmness, ruthlessness, and even a touch of insidiousness.

Qiuming Shui was evidently no exception.

She glanced at the nine Purple Mansion Realm disciples of the same sect surrounding her and slowly said: "Since the karma on the residual souls from Zhonghe Hall has led us here, it proves the thieves who killed them are nearby."

"Master speculates the opponent is extremely cunning, adept at disguising themselves, so all junior brothers and sisters should be extra careful next."

"The nine of you continue in groups of three, each carrying the residual souls, be cautious in your investigation."

"If you discover anything, do not take rash action. Wait until others arrive before making a move together."

Upon hearing this, one of the nine had a strange expression and mumbled softly: "Senior Sister Qiu is being overly cautious, isn’t she?"

"Hasn’t the Hall Master said the villain is just a loose cultivator of Purple Mansion early and mid-stage, we..."

The words were interrupted by Qiuming Shui’s sharp gaze, and he promptly closed his mouth with resignation.

"Junior Brother Liao must be accustomed to his leisure in the Fengshui Realm, forgetting even the most basic vigilance?"

Coldly glancing at him, Qiuming Shui said with a stern voice: "I’ve said all that needs to be said, if anyone disobeys and acts independently, even if lucky enough to return alive, I will report truthfully to the Sect when we get back."

"Hope everyone takes care of themselves."

Having said this, her figure suddenly flashed and disappeared into the void.

The other nine exchanged glances, did not say much, and each boarded a covered boat, heading off in different directions.

Nameless Island.

Three beams of light rose from the island, flying toward the sea region where Yangnao Land is located.

These three figures were Shen Chongxu, Shen Chongming, and Li Qing.
