Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

An old man and a young man sat by the edge of the pool, beginning their discussion about cultivation.

...

Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm.

Shen Chongming and Chen Youran overcame countless hardships and finally arrived at the base of the mountain where they had initially obtained the ”Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill.”

”Brother Ming, should we climb up?”

Gazing at the peak towering into the clouds, Chen Youran spoke.

Shen Chongming looked up at the mountain’s summit, then glanced around and murmured, ”Where did that thing go?”

He had thought that the essence of the Thunderous Creatures would be near this mountain.

Yet, upon reaching the foot of the mountain, he still couldn’t sense the presence of the Thunderous Creatures.

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Chongming seemed to make up his mind and immediately turned to Chen Youran, saying, ”Keep your distance.”

Although Chen Youran didn’t understand, he didn’t ask further and quickly hid behind a giant rock several dozen yards away.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming began forming a spell.

In the next instant, a gentle breeze appeared, lifting his body and flying him into the air!

”Husband!”

Seeing this, Chen Youran was deeply shocked!

The Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm has restrictions. Any cultivator who dares to fly in the air will be attacked by these restrictions.

Regardless of whether Shen Chongming’s move would provoke the Thunderous Creatures, the attacks from just the restrictions were enough to kill him on the spot!

”No worries, stay put and don’t move!”

Seeing Chen Youran preparing to rush out, Shen Chongming shouted and rapidly flew upward!

In an instant, the previously clear sky of the secret realm suddenly flashed with a ripple, followed by a pitch-black electric streak emerging from the void, striking directly at Shen Chongming’s figure!

This commotion naturally alerted the surrounding cultivators.

Upon seeing the terrifying black electric streak appear, all cultivators hurriedly slapped a Divine Movement Skill onto themselves and fled toward the distance.

”Damn it! This secret realm has been here for years, yet there’s still an idiot who knows nothing!?”

”If you want to die, fine, but if you provoke that Thunder Monster, everyone here will suffer!”

”Stop talking, hurry up, the further away the better!”

...

Nearby cultivators fled in panic.

Meanwhile, Shen Chongming in mid-air swiftly raised his hand to set up a vibrant blue protective spiritual light shield in front of him, then took out the blue crystal stone he had obtained from that mansion years ago.

Crackle!

The black thunder swiftly struck the protective spiritual power shield in front of him, breaking Shen Chongming’s shield into pieces amidst a burst of electric streaks!

Below, Chen Youran watched this scene, and his heart leaped to his throat!

Yet at this moment, Shen Chongming was not the least bit panicked.

As the protective spiritual light shield was torn apart by the thunder, the blue crystal stone in his hand emitted a faint glow, directly absorbing the black thunder.

”Hmm?”

With the black thunder gone, a soft murmur suddenly echoed in the void.

Soon, a monster with a stature of several dozen yards, wings on its back, and flickering all over with electric streaks slowly emerged.

That monster stared at Shen Chongming for a moment, then suddenly laughed aloud twice.

Whoosh!

Its figure transformed into a streak of lightning, flashed suddenly, and then appeared in a miniature form not far from Shen Chongming.

”Young fellow, is it you?”

Shen Chongming slightly bowed: ”Senior, we meet again.”

The Thunderous Creature flashed its figure, rushing directly to within inches of him, extending its neck to sniff him, followed by several flickers as it returned to its original position.

With a peculiar smile on its face, it glanced over and said, ”Not bad, you’ve reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.”

”Boy, have you figured out my true identity?”

Shen Chongming smiled slightly and bowed: ”If I haven’t guessed wrong, senior should be a strand of innate spiritual qi with a thunder attribute.”

The Thunderous Creature’s smile froze, turning somewhat angry: ”You actually think I’m such a lowly thing?”

Shen Chongming was dumbfounded.

Innate spiritual qi... a lowly thing?

Just as the Thunderous Creature’s body started to show signs of an impending rampage with crackling electric streaks, he quickly bowed: ”Forgive me, senior, I am ignorant and believed innate spiritual qi to be the noblest of beings...”

”Enough!”

The Thunderous Creature waved its hand somewhat dejectedly: ”I can’t blame you.”

”Even that Old Man Zhang, who reached the Golden Core Realm, couldn’t discern my true identity. It’s no surprise you, a mere Qi Cultivation, couldn’t see it either.”

Seeing its violent aura gradually calming down, Shen Chongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

”Boy, what is your purpose for coming back this time?”

The Thunderous Creature lazily lay in the void, squinting at him as it spoke.

Shen Chongming bowed: ”I dare not hide from senior, I came to seek... to find a strand of innate spiritual qi that resonates with me.”

”And also, I wish to complete my cultivation technique.”

He explained how last time in that mansion, he had only comprehended the ”Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill.”

Upon hearing this, the Thunderous Creature suddenly sat up, rushed to him again, sniffed him, and then grinned: ”It’s truly that scent!”

”Hahaha...”

”My judgment remains as profound as ever!”

With delight, it somersaulted several times in the void, then appeared instantaneously in front of Shen Chongming’s face:

”Boy, you’re impressive.”

”The ’Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill’ is indeed just the first part.”

”The full name of this cultivation technique is...”

”It’s called...”

The Thunderous Creature seemed to experience a memory lapse and scratched its head anxiously, circling in the void several times before finally speaking: ”I remembered!”

”The full name of this supreme skill is the ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record!’”
