Chapter 316: Chapter 312: Displaying Divine Powers
Despite his injuries, Shen Huayuan raised his hand and summoned his Talisman Sword, causing it to light up once again, shooting out a red beam of light. Rather than aiming at the Corpse Demon rushing at him, the beam was shooting towards the back of the head of another Corpse Demon, attacking other people.
As the sword edge neared the back of the Corpse Demon’s head, just an inch away from penetration, the Corpse Demon suddenly turned around, raising a withered claw to protect its face.
A sharp ring sounded!
The crimson Talisman Sword hit the palm of its claw, emitting a sound like a clash between metal and stone, yet failed to pierce through.
Seeing this, Shen Huayuan sighed mournfully.
At the same time, the Corpse Demon had already swung its claw, its five sharp claws descended like knife-edge, aiming at his head. He had no time to recall the Talisman Sword.
Just then, he saw through the gaps in the sharp claws, there was a shadow of a person leaping from the eaves, rushing towards them.
“It’s him!” shouted Shen Huayuan softly.
As soon as his words fell, Shen Luo had already used the momentum he had from falling, to land heavily on the Corpse Demon’s shoulders.
Just like Shen Quan before, a powerful force caused the ferocious Corpse Demon to kneel down directly on the ground, its claws that were aimed at Shen Huayuan dug deep into the ground.
Shen Luo leaned down, embraced the Corpse Demon’s skull, and with a sudden sharp twist, ripped it off as though he was picking a melon.
“Snap”
A crisp sound came from the neck of the Corpse Demon, and with one pull, Shen Luo easily ripped off its head.
Seeing this, Shen Huayuan was simply stunned.
Knowing how sturdy a Corpse Demon’s physique was, even a Small Thunder Talisman could only slash a cut on its body. Yet, Shen Luo used his bare hands to tear its head off, how much strength would that take?
Seeing this, the other Corpse Demon abandoned its other targets, quickly turned around and pounced on Shen Luo.
Shen Luo leapt up, his body flipped over the Corpse Demon’s head. His hands skillfully twirled two Small Thunder Talismans that each slapped the temples on either side of the Corpse Demon’s head.
As a stream of Mana flowed from his fingertips, two thunderous booms sounded.
A dazzling white light flashed, two brilliant white beams of lightning shot into the Corpse Demon’s head on both sides, meeting in the center, completely blowing its head apart.
After practicing through the night, Shen Luo was only able to unlock half a meridian, but he could still use some Mana.
His moves were swift and precise, the Shen family hadn’t even had time to react, and the fight was over, with many still frantically fleeing towards the ruins outside the courtyard.
“Don’t run, it’s safe now…” Shen Huayuan, having survived this ordeal, was the first to come back to his senses.
On hearing the roaring voice of the Family Head,
the Shen Family gradually stopped their flight and looked over.
When they saw two dead Corpse Demons in the courtyard and Shen Luo standing next to the body, they realized what had happened: they were simultaneously surprised and terrified, sad and relieved.
“We survived…” someone sobbed with a cry.
“Did he save us?” someone asked in confusion.
“Waa…” Most of them were children, crying uncontrollably.
“Elder Shen, thank you,” Shen Huayuan sincerely admired, after truly experiencing Shen Luo’s abilities.
“There’s no need for thanks, we should quickly check for casualties,” Shen Luo helped him up, and suggested.
When Shen Huayuan heard these words, his expression immediately changed, he quickly rushed into the ruined house and pulled Shen Quan out from under a pile of rubble.
After a quick check, he found that Shen Quan was only unconscious due to injuries and was not in danger of death, which finally put him at ease.
By this time, the battle outside the old mansion had ended. Shen Yu, who was the first to return, was shocked when she saw the dismal state of the interior.
“Father…” She rushed into the room and was relieved to see Shen Huayuan unharmed, taking care of Shen Quan with Shen Luo standing by.
“How is it outside?” Shen Huayuan asked, looking up.
“The Corpse Demons have all been driven away, but… Shen Zhao was killed in an ambush by the Corpse Demons. Shen Chuang and Chen Chong are both seriously injured,” Shen Yu stood with her back to the door, her brows furrowed, unable to hide her sadness.
She couldn’t afford to show any weakness in front of the remaining people of the Shen Family, who were still in shock outside.
After a final count, the Shen Family had lost Shen Zhao and three other ordinary family members. Another dozen were injured. No one dared to stay any longer. They set off in the middle of the night, continuing their journey.

Shen Luo knew that these people were the descendants of the Shen Family, he was slightly saddened, but not deeply moved. After all, he had seen far too many brutalities in the Dreamland.
…
Time flew, and it was seven days later already.
Shen Luo had been practicing the Huangting Technique day and night, finally managing to unblock five Meridians, including the Hand Shao Yin Heart Meridian, the Hand’s Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, and the Ren Meridian. His strength had now recovered to the level of the Mid Grain Avoidance Stage.
After the incident with the Corpse Demons, everyone in the Shen family no longer doubted Shen Luo’s identity and strength. Shen Yu would even come to chat with him and ask him for solutions to her cultivation problems whenever she had time.
After some understanding, Shen Luo found that the cultivation method practiced by the Shen family, known as “Water Elemental Art”, was in fact a modified version of the Nameless Cultivation Technique.
The person who had passed this technique down to the Shen family was none other than himself.
At first, Shen Luo couldn’t understand why he’d passed on an altered version of the Nameless Cultivation Technique to the Shen family instead of leaving the original method. But then he realized that the Nameless Cultivation Technique itself was very difficult, he only managed to grasp the technique quickly through serendipity, making it even more difficult for others to practice.
Despite the modifications to the “Water Elemental Art”, the Shen family descendants still found it difficult to cultivate. Over the course of a thousand years, not a single person had successfully completed its cultivation.
In recent two or three hundred years, the situation had become even worse. Many people couldn’t grasp the Dao-seed let alone complete the cultivation. While Shen Yu had managed to practice till the Grain Avoidance Stage by constantly figuring it out. This made her the best practitioner in recent years.
Although Shen Luo had a deeper understanding of the Nameless Cultivation Technique than they did, he could not explicitly tell them due to his identity. Hence, he could only subtly hint at potential solutions, using other cases as examples to clarify Shen Yu’s doubts.
Luckily, Shen Yu was of good aptitude and comprehension; with a bit of guidance from Shen Luo, she always managed to gain insights. After several rounds of conversation, she had begun to glimpse the boundary of Mid Grain Avoidance Stage.
For these few days, Shen Luo devoted all his time to cultivating in the carriage, and Shen Yu also remained out of sight.
Even though Shen Huayuan was weighed down by the Corpse Demon incident initially, with Shen Luo’s recovery of strength and Shen Yu’s progress in cultivation, he felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from his chest.
