Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

After peeking into Shen Chongxu’s memory, the human woman transformed by the Outer Celestial Demon was simply an image crafted according to the most perfect form in Shen Chongxu’s heart.

When Shen Chongxu, who had just woken up, saw her, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

A moment passed—

”Why haven’t you left yet?”

Shen Chongxu regained his senses and said calmly, ”I have spent over a hundred years of my lifespan to dispel the secret skill of [Demon’s Arrival]. Are you planning to repay kindness with enmity?”

The Outer Celestial Demon heard this and swayed her waist, walking over slowly.

”If I wanted to repay kindness with enmity, would I have waited until now?”

With a change of tone, she turned around in front of Shen Chongxu’s Divine Spirit, her long sleeves dancing lightly as she smiled faintly, ”What, you don’t like this form of mine?”

”This is the most perfect form transformed according to the deepest thoughts hidden in your heart.”

Hearing this, Shen Chongxu’s eyes narrowed instantly, a killing intent flashed through his heart!

”You peeked into my memories!?”

The Outer Celestial Demon was not angered by this, still smiling faintly, ”With your current strength, if you really dared to act, I could devour your Divine Spirit in an instant.”

Seeing that Shen Chongxu had no intention of taking action, she continued, ”I found your previous life to be really interesting.”

”After experiencing so much, how did you remain so foolish?”

Shen Chongxu slightly restrained the killing intent in his heart and said coldly, ”You think that sacrificing my lifespan to release you was a foolish act?”

The Outer Celestial Demon’s expression was surprised, ”Isn’t it?”

”I am a Celestial Demon, the natural enemy of all living beings with a Divine Spirit.”

Shen Chongxu smiled faintly upon hearing this, ”If that’s the case, then why didn’t you devour my Divine Spirit when I was weakened by the loss of lifespan?”

This question left the Outer Celestial Demon in front of him stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Oh!

Why hadn’t she devoured his Divine Spirit just a moment ago?

As the Outer Celestial Demon questioned herself, she felt a bit restless.

After a brief standoff, Shen Chongxu sighed and said, ”In any case, you saved me at Jianan Temple, and indirectly saved the Shen Family.”

”If not for you, the blessings and fortunes of the Shen Family would likely have been significantly drained by that Nine-leaf Bodhi, and perhaps I would have been completely exhausted by now.”

”I may not be a kind or sentimental person, but I can distinguish between gratitude and grievances. Sacrificing a century of lifespan to release the secret skill of [Demon’s Arrival] is to repay this debt.”

”I am now at peace with myself, you may leave.”

The Outer Celestial Demon simply cocked her head and looked at him quietly as he finished speaking.

With her capabilities, she could easily sense that Shen Chongxu’s words were devoid of any pretension or deceit.

Every word was sincere.

”So you’re genuinely foolish, but there’s something quite interesting about your foolishness.”

”I’m quite interested in that Shen Family behind you as well...”

Having said this, she didn’t give Shen Chongxu another glance and waved her hand.

In an instant, the Sea of Consciousness surged, and a large amount of purple-black mist condensed around her!

In just the blink of an eye, a round platform that closely resembled the Spirit Platform beneath Shen Chongxu’s Divine Spirit formed suddenly.

The Outer Celestial Demon lightly tapped her toe, then sat cross-legged upon the platform.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming frowned deeply.

”You...”

”My true name...”

The Outer Celestial Demon interrupted him, paused as if making a certain decision, and continued:

”He Yi Nita.”

”Human, from now on, you can address me as He Yi.”

Shen Chongxu slightly furrowed his brows and murmured, ”What a strange name.”

”Judging by your actions, is it your intention to reside in my Sea of Consciousness?”

He Yi displayed a cunning smile and said calmly, ”It’s rare to encounter such an interesting human, I’m in no hurry to leave.”

”Rest assured, you do whatever you need to do, I won’t interfere.”

”Just pretend I don’t exist.”

Having said this, she closed her eyes and sat there quietly.

Pretend you don’t exist?

Shen Chongxu shook his head with a wry smile.

With a Celestial Demon whose thoughts are unfathomable sitting in the Sea of Consciousness, how could he possibly pretend she doesn’t exist?

However...

From the current situation, it seemed that this Outer Celestial Demon named He Yi had no intention of causing harm.

And he had no means to forcibly expel her.

So, he might as well let her stay for now and see if there’s another way later.

When his consciousness returned to his body, Shen Chongxu had just opened his eyes when he saw an exquisite and slightly worried face almost pressed against his own.

Startled, he leaned back slightly and frowned, ”Why are you so close to me?”

Wushi Qianrou quickly took a step back, bowed respectfully, and said, ”Forgive me, Master, this humble one...”

”This humble one sensed a strange power within you, worried that you might be in danger.”

Shen Chongxu’s Divine Sense scanned the Sea of Consciousness again, seeing the lifelike statue of He Yi, he waved his hand, ”I’m fine.”

”How long has it been since I went into seclusion this time?”

Wushi Qianrou said nothing, her face still full of concern as she looked at him.

Seeing this, Shen Chongxu frowned and said, ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

Wushi Qianrou glanced at his long gray-white hair and replied with grievance, ”This humble one can feel that you are now very weak, but you are unwilling to tell me what happened...”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxu remembered that he had lost over a hundred years of lifespan, and with his Qi and blood depleted, weakness was inevitable.

Catching a glimpse of the gray-white locks draping down to his shoulders, he sighed, ”I’ve only lost some lifespan, it’s nothing now.”
