Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

After the palace incident with the ”Dao Disc,” I inexplicably found myself in a place resembling an immortal realm, where I heard the sounds of the ”Daoist Bell and Drum.”

Upon my confused return, my mind was filled with a cultivation technique from the first volume of the ”Divination and Storage Scripture” on the Path of Great Derivation.

Now, at the brink of life and death, the White Jade Turtle Shell has brought my soul to this place.

As Shen Yuan wondered what the White Jade Turtle Shell intended, he was shocked to see it materialize suddenly and crash into the Glazed Jade Pillar in front of the hall.

Boom!

A huge booming sound erupted!

Stunned, Shen Yuan watched as the White Jade Turtle Shell swiftly burrowed into his body.

Immediately, he felt the entire palace shake several times.

Then—

From the shattered dome above, a terrifying eye suddenly appeared!

”It’s you again!?”

”Get out here!”

The angry roar filled the hall, causing it to spin and shake violently.

Shen Yuan’s soul hid behind a pillar, gripping it tightly with both hands.

After a long time, the shaking palace gradually calmed down.

Looking up, Shen Yuan saw the massive eye gazing through the dome’s gap, scanning relentlessly for him.

Once the eye vanished, the hall shook a few more times before finally returning to peace.

Feeling secure now, Shen Yuan cautiously stepped out from behind the pillar, his gaze immediately landing on the jade disc not far away.

Gazing at the jade disc, he suddenly understood the White Jade Turtle Shell’s intention.

Given the chaos within his Dantian, he was already in a precarious situation where ordinary methods might not help.

He had to leverage the jade disc in this mysterious palace again to visit the place resembling an immortal realm and see if he could find a solution.

Upon resolving his thoughts, he immediately bent down to pick up the jade disc.

In the next moment, the sound like a great bell and drum suddenly resonated within his perception, making Shen Yuan feel his soul ascend once more, higher and higher...

A moment later, he arrived again at the place filled with ethereal lights and auspicious qi.

”You almost came late, fellow Daoist.”

As his figure settled, a voice sounded from the left side.

Shen Yuan instinctively wanted to ignore it, but considering his current predicament, an idea surfaced in his mind.

His head slowly turned to the left.

This time, the power that had restrained him was unexpectedly gone.

This meant he didn’t have to sit motionless like a statue as he did last time.

”Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

”I couldn’t speak last time when I first arrived due to the invisible pressure. I hope fellow Daoist can forgive me.”

The figure in front, cloaked in golden light and whose appearance was unclear, clasped hands in return and chuckled, ”No problem, no problem.”

”Just remember, fellow Daoist, this Dao field of Nine Elements Exiled Immortal Temple opens once every ten years, and listening can be greatly beneficial for us.”

Nine Elements Exiled Immortal Temple’s Dao field?

Shen Yuan silently noted the name in his heart.

After chatting briefly, the golden light figure glanced at the empty mat on Shen Yuan’s right and sighed, ”Fellow Daoist Cang He might miss it this time.”

Cang He?

Shen Yuan vaguely remembered that the presence with a child’s voice sitting to his right before was named Cang He.

His thoughts moved slightly, and he pretended to sigh, ”To be honest, fellow Daoist, I almost missed it too.”

Through the brief chat, Shen Yuan realized that everyone in this Dao field was enveloped by a gold light, making it impossible for outsiders to see through or know their cultivation and faces.

The cultivator in front claiming to be ”Chi Yuan Ascendant” happened to be quite talkative, prompting Shen Yuan to see if he could help solve his current predicament.

”Oh?”

”What troubles did the fellow Daoist encounter?”

Chi Yuan Ascendant, indeed responsive, asked inquisitively.

Shen Yuan sighed, ”A junior from our clan, having no spiritual root, yet with great perseverance, has achieved Fetal Breathing Perfection.”

”Recently, during their elder years, the junior fathomed a method to break through from Fetal Breathing to the Golden Core, beginning secluded cultivation.”

Chi Yuan Ascendant listened quietly without interrupting.

Shen Yuan continued, ”I thought the junior would, with their comprehension, achieve the Golden Core Dao in one stroke.”

”Who would have thought that little one had ambition too big, going so far as to gather five Inner Cores in the Dantian all at once...”

After fabricating a story about a clan junior, laying out his current predicament, Shen Yuan sighed, ”That junior is one I most favor, I can’t bear to see them fail in the breakthrough, perished.”

”Alas, I’m powerless to help now...”

Chi Yuan Ascendant nodded slightly in reflection, ”From the Daoist’s words, it indeed seems you are from the Cangmin Sea Region.”

”Our Cangmin Sea Region lacks the full Dao, the fact that possessing a spiritual root is the only way to cultivate indicates an incomplete Dao.”

”That junior who almost cultivated the Golden Core without a spiritual root is truly remarkable...”

”However, the scenario you mentioned, I’ve indeed read something similar in an incomplete ancient text.”

After a slight pause, Chi Yuan Ascendant continued, ”The predecessor cultivator who left the ancient text seemingly used a similar method as your noble junior, achieving the ’Water and Fire Mutual Aid’ in the Golden Core Dao with a body without spiritual root.”

”I don’t know the exact method, yet that incomplete ancient text frequently mentioned that he cultivated the Alchemy Dao alongside and ultimately condensed a balancing object between the water-fire Golden Core.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan suddenly felt a surge of excitement!

The two issues that trapped him came to mind.

The first problem is the exhaustion of Divine Soul Power, unable to continue compressing the five Inner Cores.

This issue now seems solvable.

With its miraculous power, the White Jade Turtle Shell froze his body and brought his Divine Soul to Nine Elements Exiled Immortal Temple.

After returning this time, his Divine Soul Power will undoubtedly restore to its peak state.

The second issue being the lack of a centerpiece in the Five Elements Inner Core rotation.

According to Chi Yuan Ascendant’s words, he seems to think after returning, Shen Yuan can use the Power of Great Derivation to condense another Inner Core among the five!

At that point, the Great Derivation Inner Core as a center can possibly resolve this predicament by letting Five Elements Inner Core revolve around it.

Upon contemplating, he immediately clasped hands towards Chi Yuan Ascendant, ”Fellow Daoist’s words enlightened me like a sudden realization.”

”Thank you, fellow Daoist.”

His gratitude towards Chi Yuan Ascendant was sincere.

”You’re welcome, fellow Daoist. My suggestion was merely a coincidence from having seen that incomplete ancient text, not knowing if this method is feasible.”

”When you return, Daoist, be cautious. If this method fails, I hope you won’t blame me for misleading others.”

Shen Yuan waved repeatedly, laughing, ”I would not.”

”If this attempt fails, it merely indicates a destined calamity for him.”

”As cultivators, we understand that fate is unpredictable, do our utmost, and follow the celestial mandate.”

Chi Yuan Ascendant nodded, ”Your mindset, fellow Daoist, is indeed admirable.”

”If ever an opportunity arises, be sure to visit the Red Beard Realm.”

”I have cherished many excellent spirit wines, we can drink and discuss Dao then.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan noted the world where Chi Yuan Ascendant resides in his heart, hoping post-breakthrough and surviving the Path of Great Derivation’s collapse.

If success arrives from his breakthrough, he indeed wishes to visit the Red Beard Realm to sincerely thank Chi Yuan Ascendant.
