Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 376: Chapter 204: Underworld Qi Fusion_2

Yet the cultivators of the Shen Family felt a certain anomaly.

For within the cloud layer amassed above, seemed to gather a thunder power that sent chills down the spine!

Just a trace leak, and it would be enough to easily obliterate them.

On the mountain cave dwelling.

In the dim stone chamber, flashes of lightning flickered, the surrounding originally smooth stone walls turned charred black from the enveloping thunder.

Sitting cross-legged at the center of the chamber, Shen Chongming seemed to have transformed into a creature made of thunder, with terrifying thunder aura flickering constantly around his body.

Only, at this moment, he was oblivious to all that was happening outside.

All his Divine Sense was immersed deep within his Dantian, fully focused on crafting a simple and ancient Thunder Pool.

The miniature Thunder Pool resembled those he had seen in the murals within the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm, with its surface covered in mysterious and ancient patterns.

With streams of thunder attribute spiritual power pouring into the Thunder Pool within the Dantian, the patterns on the Thunder Pool slowly lit up, emitting a supreme divine aura.

The figure formed from Shen Chongming’s Divine Sense stood silently not far from the Thunder Pool, looking at the Thunder Pool which had begun to take shape, a slight smile appeared on his face.

”After spending several months, I’ve finally managed to craft this Thunder Pool phantom.”

”But now my cultivation level...”

For ordinary Immortal Dao Cultivators, breaking through from Qi Cultivation Perfection to Fetal Breathing requires the condensation of cultivation through a thread of innate spiritual qi, creating an immortal embryo in the Dantian to reach Fetal Breathing.

Yet now he used a thread of upper grade innate spiritual qi as a carrier, exhausting all his cultivation to craft an eerie Thunder Pool phantom within his body.

With the Thunder Pool phantom now taking form, Shen Chongming did not know if his current realm counted as Fetal Breathing Realm.

But judging from his own feelings, his current state was indeed several times stronger than when he was at Qi Cultivation Perfection, so it should be considered as Fetal Breathing Realm?

With a slight thought, a White Bone Bow suddenly emerged above the Thunder Pool within his Dantian!

The White Bone Bow was the spiritual artifact Silent Guest that his third uncle, Shen Wen’an, had seized from a Western Desolate Cultivator.

After constructing this Thunder Pool phantom within his body, Shen Chongming discovered that the first ability of the Thunder Pool was to nurture magical artifacts.

He could store his refined magical artifacts in the Thunder Pool, constantly absorbing thunder power for gradual refinement.

Not only could it slowly enhance the quality of the magical artifact, but also enable it to evolve towards the thunder attribute.

He always had a fondness for the Silent Guest magical artifact, so once the Thunder Pool phantom formed, he eagerly stored this White Bone Bow inside, placing it in the Thunder Pool phantom for slow nurturing.

”This Thunder Pool phantom can also store a large amount of spiritual power, equivalent to having an additional Dantian compared to other cultivators, doubling the spiritual power accumulation of those in the same realm.”

”If used properly, it can yield remarkable effects.”

”If one could learn some explosively powerful spells and techniques, and use them with full force unexpectedly, it might instantly annihilate a cultivator one realm higher than me.”

”Unfortunately, the cultivation realm does not have many thunder technique inheritances, finding some thunder techniques would be difficult, let alone explosively powerful spells.”

Watching the Silent Guest Longbow suspended above the Thunder Pool phantom constantly absorbing thunder attribute spiritual power, Shen Chongming contemplated inwardly, then shook his head and withdrew his Divine Sense.

Awakening from the cave dwelling, he looked up at the cave’s ceiling, sensing the accumulation of thunderclouds in the sky slowly dispersing.

Shen Chongming displayed a slight bitter smile.

The breakthrough this time likely stirred quite a commotion; he’d have to provide a proper explanation later.

Removing a set of fresh clothing from the storage bag, he slowly changed and walked out of the cave dwelling.

First floor of the Black Water Pavilion.

Shen Yuan, Shen Wen’an, and Shen Chongming, among others, gathered together.

”Son, what realm have you broken through to?”

Shen Wenxing grinned at his son, ”One breakthrough, causing black clouds to press the city, and lightning to flash; without knowing, one might think you were undergoing a celestial tribulation.”

The previous situation reminded him of when the Twelve Immortal Sects plotted against the Purple Mansion Perfection flood dragon within Hidden Dragon Mountain, eventually witnessing the flood dragon undergoing tribulation to Nascent Soul.

Back then, thunderclouds spread for three thousand miles, and a large part of Yangnao Land was shrouded in terrifying celestial tribulation aura.

Although the commotion caused by Shen Chongming this time wasn’t as terrifying, it was quite similar.

Facing his father’s and everyone’s gaze, Shen Chongming smiled faintly, cupping his hands.

”Just a breakthrough to Fetal Breathing; it must be due to my use of upper grade innate thunder attribute spiritual qi, causing such an anomaly.”

He did not reveal the matter of condensing the Thunder Pool phantom within his body.

Mainly because using this unconventional method for the breakthrough might worry his father and all the elders.

”Judging from the aura on you, after this breakthrough, your strength should have increased significantly.”

Shen Wen’an’s lips slightly curved as he spoke.

These years, the pressure of protecting the Shen Family had always been solely on his shoulders.

Now, with his elder brother and nephew both breaking through, the pressure in his heart seemed to have suddenly lessened.

In the coming days, he should be able to focus on cultivating for some time.

”Xiumu is born, and you have broken through as well.”

”Today, in the presence of your grandfather and third uncle, I shall formally pass the position of Patriarch of the Shen Family to you.”

”From now on, the family’s major and minor affairs shall be for you to decide.”

Looking at his son, Shen Wenxing spoke solemnly.

”Elder brother, hold on a moment.”

However, just as his words fell, Shen Wen’an spoke, ”Passing the position, elder brother, might still require some time.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing frowned slightly, looking at him puzzled.

Shen Wen’an’s gaze turned to Shen Chongming, ”In the coming days, pack your things, and in some time, follow your third uncle for a trip to Danzhou.”
