Primordial Harem System

[Yes, what about it?]

He paused and rubbed his chin. "Don't you think I'm weaker than I should be?"

[Why are you changing the topic so swiftly? And why do you think you are weaker than you should be? The gap between the higher levels gets much, much higher. A mortal and Peak Dao Core Forming Realm cultivator has a shorter gap than a Peak Dao Core Forming Realm and Mortal Tribulation Realm.]

He shook his head. "I just feel like I'm not using my multiple elemental Qi effectively. Whenever I use multiple Qi, I use them separately instead of using them as a single attack. Or even when I use two Qi simultaneously, they don't mix like the Tribulation Lightning."

[I see, so you want to learn the fusion of multiple Qi. This isn't easy, you know. The difficulty of using two elements together is higher than mastering a higher-level intent like Space Intent. You also need to master the Yin and Yang intent for that and mix them.]

Shen Yuan sat down cross-legged beneath the cherry tree. "Yin and Yang Intent, huh. So balance is what I need…" he quietly murmured and closed his eyes. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

[Are you trying to comprehend the Yin and Yang intent?]

"Yes," he softly said. "If I want to make use of my multiple elements, then learning the fusion is a must. My battle powers will increase by leaps and bounds if I can successfully learn it."

[No wonder you sent away everyone. But why not enter the Dual Cultivation Chambers?]

He shook his head. "I feel like rushing it won't help. I need to learn about balance, and I can't just learn about it by staying inside the Dual Cultivation Chambers all the time."

Yue Lan agreed and became silent, letting him focus on learning the intents.

[You should look within yourself, it might be easier to learn Yin and Yang intent than you might think.]

He closed his eyes and focused within him. A chart formed inside his mind, marking all his Dantians. Those filled with elemental Qi shined the brightest, while the dormant Dantians flashed with a dim light.

'Six Dantians with Elemental Qi, one is filled with Abyssal Qi, and the rest are dormant,' he noted before looking deeper inside him. Pillars of light stood in his core, each exuding a distinct aura.

'Are… are these my talents? Elemental Affinity… Weapon Affinity… Comprehension… Alchemy… Blacksmithing?' he counted and saw there were a lot more dark columns behind the ones that were shining.

'Are those my dormant talents?' he wondered, thinking those might be the other elements before rushing even deeper.

This was the core of his entire being, where a gushing river flowed. He couldn't even comprehend what he was seeing while looking at the running river. It seemed to encompass all things as well as nothing. It seemed to be the beginning and end of all things at once.

Above the river floated five runes, three shining much brighter than the other two. 'Is that my bloodline in the shape of this river? And those runes… are they my physiques?'

He wondered before moving closer to the one which seemed to exude a sense of balance and harmony.

'Primal Harmony Physique…' he said before frowning his brows. There seemed to be another set of runes restricting the true potential of his physique.

'Lan'er, are those runes the ones which are restricting my Physique's level to Saint Grade?' he asked in his mind and waited for a reply.

'…'

But even after a while, no reply came from her. He frowned but didn't think much of it. Instead, he got closer to the rune of Primal Harmony Physique and began meditating.

…

[Hmm, looks like he found his Primal Harmony Physique Rune, and without his Divine Sense. He really is a monster.]

She said, looking at his peaceful meditating face.

[I wonder if he will call me there? I can take this chance to see how his Bloodline looks as well, hehe.]

She hadn't dared to look inside Shen Yuan's body due to his Bloodline, but she thought if Shen Yuan himself called her, then the bloodline wouldn't cause her any trouble.

'Lan'er, are those…'

Yue Lan's eyes lit up as she heard him asking her a question. Just as she was about to answer and focus her will inside Shen Yuan's body, an inhumane aura slowly rose from his core.

Yue Lan stopped dead in her tracks. She knew it was useless to reason with his bloodline as it didn't seem to have a complete consciousness but only some will.

[Ugh, fuck you, always ruining things.]

She grumbled but didn't reply to Shen Yuan. There was no point in it as the bloodline wouldn't let her voice reach him now.

'Hmph, keep acting like a yandere girlfriend, let's see what you will do once Yuan'er has complete control over you.'

She smugly thought to herself, not daring to voice out her thoughts.

…

Days passed by as Shen Yuan continued sitting beneath the tree.

One day…

Two days…

Three days…

And after five days passed, he slowly opened his eyes. They released such a brilliance that it seemed to overshadow the sun in his courtyard.

Yue Lan's happy voice sounded inside his head.

[Yuan'er! Congratulations on mastering Yin and Yang intent.]

Shen Yuan stood up and stretched. "Hmm~ I didn't master anything."

[…]

Yue Lan became speechless and quickly scanned his aura for any hint of Yin or Yang aura on him.

[What the fuck, what were you doing for the past five days? Admiring your physiques?]

"Hmm, that is indeed something I can do, but no. I tried to comprehend the Yin and Yang intent, but they were too obscure and my physique is more inclined to the Fusion of Yin and Yang, so I couldn't learn those intents directly from it." He said before exiting the courtyard.

[…Bruh, and here I thought you would at least master those two intents to the first level. Where are you heading now?]

"It's not like I wasted those five days. I have comprehended a lot of things about both Yin and Yang intents. Now all I have to do is take a bit more time to comprehend Yin and Yang's intents." He stood on his mountain and took a deep breath of the fresh air.

"And for where I am heading? There should be a selection going on for the quota of the Aurora Competition. I will check that out before heading inside one of the training pagodas. About time I check them out." He laughed and walked towards the Spatial Portal.

[What about your Legion? You said you would award them after the successful ascension?]

"Well, I will need more time for that now. I need to first learn both Yin and Yang Intents separately. The rest can wait for later. And anyway, Ling Yue went to the Crimson Sun Imperial Empire with Hongyu, so it will be some time until she returns. I can give it to them later." He soon reached the Spatial Portal location.

The disciples bowed towards him before standing aside to let him pass. He nodded at them and entered the portal.
