Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

"Otherwise, not only will your cultivation progress slowly, but over time, suppressed desires will also affect your state of mind."

"With a damaged state of mind, you’ll be more susceptible to falling into the abyss of endless desires."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Chongxu frowned slightly, staring at He Yi’s exquisite face for a moment.

"What should I do?"

Meeting his gaze, He Yi laughed softly and said, "As I’ve mentioned, find a way to release your desires."

"For example... let that little girl come out and thoroughly release her passions..."

Shen Chongxu’s expression froze for a moment, then he waved his hand: "Okay, stop causing trouble here, go back if you have nothing to do, I’m going to cultivate now."

Saying this, he sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.

Yet the more he tried to banish distracting thoughts and focus his mind, the clearer the image in his mind became of those snow-white thighs under a long purple dress.

Shen Chongxu didn’t know how long he struggled before finally calming his heart and entering a state of cultivation.

Outside, He Yi stood quietly in front of him, observing with great interest, murmuring softly to himself, "So, the little guy’s heart was thinking of me all along..."

...

Yunshui City.

On the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan, who had been in seclusion for nearly four years, was still sitting cross-legged.

As Hu Yufen previously complained, he showed no signs of breaking through to the Golden Core despite nearly four years of seclusion.

Ultimately, it was due to Shen Yuan’s cultivation aptitude not being particularly good.

Without a Spirit Root, he had to rely on the help of the White Jade Turtle Shell to forcibly improve the quality of his Inner Five Elements and break through to the Daoist Fetal Breathing Realm.

Now, to break through from Fetal Breathing once more and step into the Golden Core Realm, he still needed to elevate the Inner Five Elements system concurrently.

But this time it was clearly not as easy as before.

Long before going into seclusion, he had repeatedly deduced his situation, seeking an easy path to tread upon the Golden Core Dao.

But ultimately, he found no success.

Later, in an attempt to deduce what Shen Xiubai was comprehending, he accidentally attracted Chaos Thunder.

Feeling the aura of chaos from the Chaos World-Ending Divine Thunder, he suddenly gained a sliver of insight, prompting him to urgently enter seclusion to see if he could use this insight to advance his cultivation further.

But insight is one thing; breaking through with just a sliver of it still proved to be extremely challenging.

At this moment, Shen Yuan found himself in a predicament.

Within his dantian, he had gradually transformed it to resemble chaos according to the earlier insight.

Attempting to construct the Five Elements Reincarnation within the dantian to form a "Chaos Golden Core."

But the Five Elements both generate and inhibit each other.

Maintaining this rotation was already at its limit; trying to compress them together into an Inner Core was simply wishful thinking.

Shen Yuan had tried for over two years, nearly having his dantian explode multiple times due to the mutual inhibition of the Five Elements.

Unable to form the Inner Core, he couldn’t even remove the remaining types of Five Elements Spiritual Power to keep just one.

Shen Yuan understood that if he didn’t find a way out of this predicament, with the current situation inside his dantian, breaking through to the Golden Core seemed impossible.

His Divine Sense Body stood within his dantian.

Gazing at the enormous vortex before him, slowly rotating like a galaxy nebula, Shen Yuan looked solemn.

"Ultimately, I was too greedy..."

After murmuring to himself, he sighed softly.

If not for feeling it a waste to abandon that sliver of insight and instead pursue a conventional path to breakthrough, he would not have ended up here.

Now, his entire dantian was in chaos; the Five Elements Spiritual Power generated and inhibited each other. A deviation in any one type of spiritual power could cause the entire vortex to fluctuate violently, leading to an explosion of this vortex containing five types of spiritual power!

At that time, it wouldn’t just be his dantian and physical body; even the entire Yunshui City might be impacted.

After all, the spiritual power inside his dantian now rivaled the combined spiritual power within the dantians of five cultivators at the Great Perfection of Fetal Breathing Realm.

Standing silently in front of the gigantic chaos vortex, Shen Yuan racked his brain for a solution.

Suddenly, a glimmer flashed through his mind!

The enormous, slowly rotating vortex in his dantian was strikingly similar to the nebula images that scientists in his past life captured.

It seemed he had fallen into a mental trap before.

He had been trying all along to compress this entire vortex nebula into a single Inner Core.

Due to the mutual inhibition of the Five Elements, he had reached a dead end due to the immense repulsion between them.

From the perspective of stars, if he individually gathered the rotating Five Elements energy inside the dantian, like stars within a nebula, it wouldn’t disrupt the characteristics of Five Elements Reincarnation, yet satisfy the requirements of Condensing Qi into a Pill.

Following this thought, the problem that had trapped him for years seemed to become solvable!

Considering this, Shen Yuan’s Divine Sense Body immediately squinted his eyes, which sparkled with brilliance.

He realized that if this could succeed, it would be like forming five Inner Cores within his dantian simultaneously!

In terms of sheer numbers, this was definitely stronger than an ordinary cultivator with only one Golden Core.

But whether it would succeed still remained to be tested.

With a slight shift of thought, his Divine Sense Body cautiously began maneuvering the vortex, gradually combing and distanciating the Five Elements Spiritual Power within it.

This in itself wasn’t particularly difficult, though the operation did consume Heart Spirit.

Fortunately, with his concurrent practice of the Path of Great Derivation, his Divine Spirit was far stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator.

After expending much time, he finally managed to slowly separate the Five Elements Spiritual Power in the vortex.
