Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Shen Chongming stood quietly, his gaze fixed on the strange pool of water as terrifying bolts of lightning flashed across it, reflecting fleeting shadows in his eyes.

Through his eyes, those bolts of lightning seemed to penetrate his body, directly exploding within his Sea of Consciousness and Heart Lake.

At this moment, Shen Chongming fell into a peculiar state!

He felt as if his physical body had disappeared, as if everything around him had vanished, and his Divine Spirit seemed to be in a dark, chaotic void.

Each bolt of lightning around him seemed to carry the might of creation!

When the lightning exploded, it was the majesty of the heavens.

Occasionally, lightning would spread through the void, attacking in his direction. Shen Chongming instinctively wanted to dodge but found that his body couldn’t move at all. He could only let that world-destroying power pass through his body and scatter into the distance.

As each bolt of lightning passed through him, both his body and spirit felt a tingling sensation, very comfortable.

His consciousness gradually got lost in this comfort.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Shen Chongming suddenly came to his senses, he saw that the clouds and lightning around him had disappeared.

He was still in that mountain cave, standing before the same strange mural.

Standing in front of the mural, a hint of the violent aura of lightning faintly appeared on his surface, and flashes of electric light flickered in his eyes.

Whoosh—

Shen Chongming exhaled deeply and slowly closed his eyes.

When he reopened them, the anomaly in his gaze had completely vanished, and the violent thunder power on his body gradually dissipated.

”It really is the ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record’...”

Feeling the obscure information newly emerged in his Sea of Consciousness, Shen Chongming murmured with deep joy in his eyes.

This time, he could clearly feel that the ’Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill’ he had previously practiced had finally been completed, fully transforming into what the thunderous creatures referred to as the ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record.’

While obtaining this cultivation technique, he suddenly had an epiphany.

It seemed that there were many classifications of cultivation techniques in the world.

Like this ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record,’ which included a complete Nascent Soul Technique that could allow a cultivator to journey through cultivation and achieve the Nascent Soul Realm, it was dubbed a ’True Technique.’

Meanwhile, the techniques mastered by the Shen Family, like the ’Mist Flood Dragon Nourishing Vein Technique’ and ’Moonlight Pine Mountain Technique,’ only included the Golden Core Technique, allowing cultivators to achieve the Golden Core Dao and were thus referred to as ’Righteous Techniques.’

Below the Righteous Techniques, those cultivation techniques with only Fetal Breathing Techniques were collectively known as ’Scattering Techniques.’

If a simplified technique didn’t even have the subsequent Fetal Breathing Technique, it could probably be considered subpar.

”The ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record’ I obtained today is a complete True Technique, but unfortunately, this technique is too demanding. Without a Thunder Attribute Spirit Root, it’s simply impossible to cultivate it.”

”If it weren’t so, with mastery of a complete True Technique, the Shen Family’s foundation in cultivation techniques would not be weaker than the Danzhou Upper Three Sects.”

Shen Chongming sighed inwardly, shaking his head.

The ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record’ was a precious thing, yet now, only he in the entire Shen Family could cultivate it.

In terms of value alone, it was far inferior to the ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal.’

In the ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal,’ each piece of Seasonal Jade Carvings seemed to contain the Nascent Soul Technique. This way, the complete ’Twenty-Four Solar Terms Celestial Rotation True Seal’ was likely even higher than a True Technique.

”I don’t know how long I spent understanding the True Technique this time; Youran is probably anxious waiting outside by now.”

Glancing at the sunlight streaming in through the cave’s skylight, Shen Chongming quelled his thoughts and walked towards the cave entrance.

At the bottom of the mountain, he avoided using Wind Manipulation as before, which might draw attention.

Shen Chongming’s figure was like a flashing electric light, clinging to the mountain rocks from the peak, making his descent through several leaps and bounds, landing directly in front of the meditating Chen Youran.

”Husband!?”

The sudden appearance startled Chen Youran. Once she recognized Shen Chongming, she quickly got up to greet him.

”Is Husband all right?”

Studying him carefully, Chen Youran asked with concern.

Shen Chongming smiled slightly, shaking his head before looking around curiously:

”How long was I up there this time?”

”And where is that senior?”

Chen Youran replied, ”Husband trained for nearly a hundred days this time.”

”That senior...”

Chen Youran looked at the nearby sky, only to find that the thunderous creature had vanished.

Before the training, she had clearly seen the creature leisurely lying in the void.

She hadn’t heard any noise in between, so how did it disappear suddenly?

As the pair searched, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot over from afar.

The lightning reached the two of them and transformed into the figure of the thunderous creature.

”Oh?”

”In the time it took this seat to kill a few ants, you’ve returned?”

”So, did you manage to comprehend the ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record’?”

The thunderous creature asked eagerly, anticipation written all over its face.

Seeing his impatience, Shen Chongming suspected that if he said he didn’t comprehend the ’Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record,’ this creature might casually strike him and Chen Youran with a bolt of destructive lightning, erasing them on the spot.

With its capricious nature, Shen Chongming dared not joke with the creature.

He promptly cupped his hands and said, ”Fortunately, I did not fail my mission.”

Hearing this, the thunderous creature was momentarily stunned, then shot into the sky!

Its form suddenly transformed into a hundred zhang tall, its laughter echoing wildly in the void!
