Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 370 - 203: Unconventional Fetal Breathing (Part 2)
The fallen clansmen can only leave a brief Chapter in the family history, while the living legacy can exert the greatest value.
"Go ahead, cultivate well, and don’t mention the idea of going to the mountains to your grandfather again."
Seeing her daughter understood her words, Hu Mei’Er smiled and patted her head.
"Mother..."
Gently pulling up her mother’s palm, Shen Li called out softly, acting somewhat spoiled, then rested her head on Hu Mei’Er’s lap.
...
The mountain cave on the west side of the estate.
Shen Chongming sat cross-legged on the mat, hands forming seals, constantly running the "Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record" to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the surrounding air.
Cultivators use cultivation techniques to guide Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to circulate within their body’s meridians, turning this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power into their own strength, stored in the Dantian.
The so-called Perfection really means making the Spiritual Power in the Dantian sufficiently abundant, achieving a round and unified state.
At this moment, Shen Chongming was controlling the absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power to circulate within his body.
Several days ago, he had reached the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm, but remembered his father’s advice to precipitate more even after reaching the Perfection Realm.
The more you precipitate, the higher the success rate of forging an Immortal Embryo.
Practicing the True Technique and holding a wisp of Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Qi, Shen Chongming believed that even if he forged the Immortal Embryo and achieved Fetal Breathing now, it surely wouldn’t fail.
However, after reaching the Perfection Realm and attempting to run the "Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record" again, he had a faint intuition.
It seemed that after reaching the Perfection Realm, he could further improve with this True Technique.
A large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power was absorbed, refined, and integrated into the Dantian, and Shen Chongming tried to compress the Spiritual Power inside the Dantian.
These pure Thunder Attribute Spiritual Powers rolled and changed various forms inside the Dantian.
His Divine Sense observed internally, watching the scene inside the Dantian, when suddenly a strange scene flashed in Shen Chongming’s mind!
In the void of the clouds, endless thunder converged towards a simple ancient pool.
When the terrifying Thunder Power reached the pool, it slowly transformed into drops of liquid gleaming with electric light...
This scene was the anomaly he saw when he comprehended the "Shenxiao Jade Mansion Five Thunder True Technique Secret Record" in the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm.
The ancient pool flickered in the sea of clouds, struck by thunder, with its surface shining with peculiar patterns and electric light.
These patterns and electric lights slowly became clear in his mind, as if they were being imprinted deep in his memory.
"Can I also forge such a Thunder Pool in my own Dantian?"
This thought suddenly emerged in Shen Chongming’s mind, immediately followed by denial.
The path of Immortal Cultivation is fixed, and having reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, the next step is to forge the Immortal Embryo with Innate Spiritual Qi and achieve Fetal Breathing.
If a Thunder Pool is constructed inside the Dantian, it would somewhat lack conformity.
Besides, the next realm after Fetal Breathing is the Golden Core; if a Thunder Pool were truly forged inside the Dantian, how would this Thunder Pool transform into a Golden Core then?
His Divine Sense returned to the body, the cultivation technique also completed a cycle, Shen Chongming slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, trying to dispel the thought.
Yet, once the thought emerged, it seemed to have rooted and sprouted in his mind.
The complex patterns on the Thunder Pool occasionally flashed before his eyes, clearly becoming an indelible nightmare.
Shen Chongming squinted slightly, and suddenly a struggle arose in his heart.
"Or... should I try?"
The world only knows that after Qi Cultivation, one forges the Immortal Embryo to achieve Fetal Breathing.
But no one said the Immortal Embryo must be of a fixed form; why can’t my Immortal Embryo be a Thunder Pool?
In his mind, another self kept debating with his true self, making him somewhat confused temporarily.
Shen Chongming’s expression changed for a moment, then seemingly made a certain decision, his Divine Sense slowly sinking into the Dantian.
...
Inside the Black Water Pavilion.
While cultivating, Shen Yuan suddenly felt like a lightning bolt had unexpectedly appeared within his Sea of Consciousness!
The tingling sensation came from the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, causing his Divine Spirit to tremble slightly.
What happened?
Aroused from cultivation, Shen Yuan’s eyes were full of doubt; immediately, he sank his Divine Sense into the Sea of Consciousness.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the White Jade Turtle Shell floated quietly.
Compared to its original appearance, the turtle shell has changed significantly.
Now, a small purple sword, a red-white vortex, a complete Life Talisman have appeared on the initially jade-like turtle shell.
Above the turtle shell, two light spheres floated.
The cyan light sphere emitted a faint Sword Qi, constantly undulating and flashing.
The other red light sphere, full of Blood Qi, similarly floated above the turtle shell, flickering unstably.
These two light spheres, one conveyed insights when Shen Wen’an broke through Fetal Breathing on the Sword Cultivation path, the other conveyed insights when Shen Wenxing broke through the Third Realm on the Body Cultivation path.
Now, next to these two light spheres, appeared a flickering uncertain lightning bolt!
That lightning was only a few inches long, flickering eerily above the White Jade Turtle Shell, with fine electric lights occasionally spilling out.
The tingling sensation he felt earlier was precisely the power released by this lightning.
Staring at the flickering uncertain lightning, Shen Yuan felt puzzled.
He vaguely guessed this lightning likely was related to his grandson Shen Chongming.
But currently, Shen Chongming should not have broken through Fetal Breathing; how could this White Jade Turtle Shell show such anomalies?
