Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Within the span of a few breaths, the sky within visible range was shrouded by a thick layer of clouds, and an eerie oppressive force spread from deep within the clouds!

”Quick, quick, quick!”

”Hide me, quickly!”

The Thunder Pool Spirit flapped its wings in a flurry of cries!

Shen Chongming also felt the terrifying oppressive force in the dark clouds above his head gathering. In panic, he hurriedly tried to gather the Thunder Pool Spirit back into his dantian.

Yet at this moment, the Thunder Pool Spirit seemed to be locked in place by something. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much the Thunder Pool Spirit struggled, it could not return to Shen Chongming’s Purple Mansion Dao Palace.

”It’s over!”

”This time I’ve played too big!”

The Thunder Pool Spirit exclaimed incessantly, and a fine sheen of sweat appeared on Shen Chongming’s face!

He could feel an unparalleled presence, as if from a distant time and space, was staring at him; the frightening oppressive force made his body tremble and feel as cold as ice!

Even at the corner of his eye, he noticed that the dark cloud overhead was slowly twisting and transforming as if forming a terrifying face!

At this moment, a deep sense of despair rose in Shen Chongming’s heart!

But then he felt the demonic energy suppressed within his body suddenly become restless!

Though the faint demonic Qi was not even a fraction of the oppressive force from the clouds, its unyielding will stimulated Shen Chongming’s Heart Spirit!

Crack!

”Ugh!”

In an instant, as demonic energy invaded his Heart Spirit, a terrifying Thunder Power erupted from Shen Chongming’s body!

In the next moment, that thunder tore apart the blue-scale treasure armor on him and shattered the chains binding him!

Shen Chongming’s eyes turned scarlet as his body trembled, enduring the terrifying oppressive force overhead, and slowly lifted his head to meet the gaze of the terrifying face formed by the clouds!

”Come on!”

With a resounding shout, the Thunder Pool Spirit in front of him instantly broke free from its lock, darting back into Shen Chongming’s Purple Mansion Dao Palace!

”Kid, steady your Heart Spirit!”

”Steady it!”

The Thunder Pool Spirit, having returned to the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, simultaneously used the power of the Thunder Pool to help suppress the demonic Qi and continuously urged Shen Chongming to quickly regain control of his Heart Spirit!

Otherwise, if the demonic Qi fully took over his Heart Spirit, he would completely become a puppet of the Heart Demon, never able to regain himself!

As the Thunder Pool Spirit vanished, the oppressive force in the clouds overhead seemed to lose interest.

The vague giant face reverted back to clouds, the oppressive force dissipated, and the dense clouds began to slowly fade away.

With the external pressure gone, the red light in Shen Chongming’s eyes noticeably dimmed.

Regaining some control over his Heart Spirit, he quickly retrieved a Heart Cleansing Pill given by Zhou Xuan from his storage bag and popped it into his mouth.

With the medicinal power of the Heart Cleansing Pill and the help of the Thunder Pool Spirit, the magic power seeping into his Heart Spirit was suppressed once again.

With his vision restored to clarity, Shen Chongming let out a long sigh of relief, looking warily at the rapidly dispersing clouds overhead, he frowned and said, ”What kind of existence did you provoke?”

”Just now that oppressive force felt like celestial might.”

The Thunder Pool Spirit in the dantian also had a look of lingering fear, murmuring in a deep voice, ”That indeed is heavenly might...”

”Kid, give me some more time, once I figure it out, I’ll tell you.”

”Anyway, you should be more cautious in the Outer Sea Region from now on, it’s best not to reveal the presence of the Thunder Pool and me.”

Shen Chongming felt speechless after hearing this.

He suddenly felt that he had indeed met with a calamity out of nowhere this time!

Everything was fine originally, but this Thunder Pool Spirit insisted on coming out for a breath of fresh air.

As a result...

Though he avoided the danger of being wiped out by that supreme being, it also caused the demonic Qi he had spent so much effort suppressing to swell dramatically!

The blue-scale treasure armor refined by the Ice God Palace’s Grand Elder Chu Xiangyu and the anti-demonic chains Zhou Xuan bought with a large number of Spirit Crystals were destroyed, leaving him with two fewer effective means of suppressing the demonic Qi.

The losses were considerable.

”Cough, cough...”

”It was my fault this time.”

”Don’t worry, leave the suppression of the demonic Qi to me!”

The Thunder Pool Spirit, sensing his thoughts, awkwardly spoke up.

”But... kid, you could say you got a blessing in disguise.”

”I can feel that any memory I recover will bring you great benefits!”

In a sudden change of tone, the Thunder Pool Spirit quickly continued.

Shen Chongming chuckled bitterly in response, ”Never mind, I hope it’s not a huge trouble.”

He’s not foolish; the brief time the Thunder Pool Spirit stayed outside, it mumbled a few words, and even that invoked celestial might.

This phenomenon alone proves that there must be monumental secrets hidden behind the Thunder Pool and the Thunder Pool Spirit in the dantian!

However, as the saying goes, when you have nothing to lose, fear nothing; the Shen Family itself possesses the great secret of the ”Golden Nature conspiracy.”

Now with the addition of the Thunder Pool and the Thunder Pool Spirit, it’s all the same.

”Let’s go. The commotion we just caused was quite significant, and I’m not sure if it’ll draw the attention of nearby cultivators.”

The Thunder Pool Spirit spoke, and without saying another word, Shen Chongming summoned the flying boat and soared off into the distance.

The flying boat continued for tens of thousands of miles, and the number of cultivators in the surrounding sea region suddenly increased.

Shen Chongming vaguely guessed that these cultivators were likely all here to seek the Sea Soul Crystal.

The task from Wuxiang Zen Temple mentioned that this sea area ahead produces Sea Soul Crystals due to its unique world trend, thus during special times, it draws many cultivators.

”I hope there are no more accidents.”

Thinking to himself, Shen Chongming immediately accelerated the flying boat toward the front.
