#392 - Proper double cultivation
“Are you injured?”
Yezi tilted her head slightly, sizing them up leisurely.
These three elders, men and women, were in tattered clothes, revealing wrinkled skin covered with age spots, looking extremely disheveled.
It was also somewhat unsightly.
Perez frowned tightly, slowly standing up, his fingers drawing a gap in the air, pulling out a cloak from within, and wrapping it around himself.
He began to speak in a low voice in the language of the spiritual cultivators.
“Black veil of the Boshuo, you were right, the Pioneer has awakened, and his strength is somewhat terrifying.
“The spiritual energy within him does not give me a sense of oppression, but his offensive can make me unable to fight back, although I am already somewhat old… Moreover, the most terrifying thing is his potential.
“If his strength increases again, and he possesses the same energy as us, we will not be able to suppress him even with numbers.”
Yezi nodded slightly, put away her smile, and lowered her head in thought.
An old woman who had gone down with Perez whispered: “As expected of the Pioneer, we were actually one step late. Black veil of the Boshuo, why didn’t you notify us in advance?”
Yezi replied casually: “I didn’t expect him to grow so fast, and in order to complete this experiment, I only started to awaken less than two planetary revolution cycles ago. It also took a lot of time and energy to devour other clones.”
The three nodded to each other, without continuing to ask, only silently tending to their injuries.
Yezi leisurely pointed out several streams of light;
That was her magic power.
The chaotic magical energy within the three was quickly forced back, which relieved them.
“You did it.”
Perez stared at Yezi:
“When the leader arrives, he will surely reward you.
“But now, we must make some arrangements, and not let them slip away under our noses.”
Yezi shook her head gently: “Don’t worry, he won’t leave.”
“Why?”
“This surface civilization has a deep bond with him.”
Perez didn’t understand: “It’s just a low-level civilization that is about to be destroyed by the Blade Beasts, would he care about this? He is the great leader, the source of spiritual energy, the mentality of a strong person should not allow him to have these entanglements.”
Yezi shook her head with a smile: “If we could understand big brother so easily, then he wouldn’t be the true Great Pioneer.”
The three were silent for a moment.
One person asked: “How long will it take for our plan to be completed?”
“Soon.”
“Don’t delay any longer, I only have less than nineteen years of life left.”
“Don’t worry,” Yezi raised her head slightly, “Am I not the best example? It’s just that there are still some problems with the path we are exploring, we are only lacking a little bit.”
The three old people didn’t say much more.
They began to discuss how to act.
Because Yezi had a conflict with Jialinuo, the three of them also needed to repair their relationship with the Blade Beast civilization and fully affirm the Blade Beast civilization.
After all, these despicable insects still had good uses for them.
…
“They actually let them escape.”
Wang Jixuan returned to the main hall somewhat depressed.
The expressions of the people behind him were somewhat complicated upon hearing this.
Nielda Tamon was obviously frustrated.
If it was Wang Jixuan who was disappointed half an hour ago, now it was this authentic traditional spiritual cultivator warrior who was disappointed.
He didn’t understand;
Nor could he accept;
Wang Jixuan’s strength could increase so significantly in such a short period of time.
It could no longer be described as a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change;
It was simply…a leap, a step to the sky, and before he knew it, he had the strength to directly compete with the spiritual cultivators.
Although Nielda Tamon admitted that he was not bad either, if his injuries were healed, he could fight these spiritual cultivators for three hundred rounds at his peak.
But his strength could not be improved.
Even though he had worked hard to hone his combat skills, his overall strength had only increased by twenty to thirty percent compared to when he first inherited the core circuit.
The reason why he was brave was mainly because his core circuit controlled the rules, which was the Flame of Light.
The Fire of Light burns everything.
Nielda Tamon thought for a while and looked at Wang Jixuan. He was about to speak…
“Why has your strength increased so much?”
Amina asked curiously:
“I thought today would be a fierce battle, but I didn’t expect Nielda Tamon to cooperate with you to completely suppress these three uninvited guests.
“How did you do it?”
Wang Jixuan sat back on the futon, wanting to be sad for a while while holding the Stone of the Past.
Hearing Amina ask this, the Daoist couldn’t help but smile:
“Basic operation, that’s all.”
“Huh?”
“Look,” Wang Jixuan’s brow shone brightly, and a phantom appeared behind him, overlapping with his figure, causing him to emit a shimmering light.
He snapped his fingers, and the light and shadow returned to himself.
“This is my primordial spirit.
“The so-called primordial spirit is probably the foundation for cultivating Dao. I have already passed the most difficult stage of cultivation. Now, even if I encounter a spiritual cultivator I can’t beat, I can escape.
“However, I am not invincible now, and it is also thanks to the abundant spiritual energy here.
“In a place with abundant spiritual energy, the power of my spells is naturally much higher than in a place with scarce spiritual energy.”
Amina nodded slightly.
She looked at the Stone of the Past in Wang Jixuan’s hand.
“It seems that this thing has given you a lot of benefits.”
“Only after waking up from a big dream do you feel the pain, and only now do I know who I am.”
Daoist Wang sighed quietly:
“Let’s rest.
“Now that the three of them have retreated, there may be a constant stream of troubles in the future.
“Peony?”
“Yes,” Peony, who was waiting in the corner, immediately responded.
Wang Jixuan said: “You immediately contact Lao Fu and ask him to strengthen security. Lingtong’s whereabouts must not be easily leaked. She is my weakness now. If possible, bring her down.”
“Yes.”
Peony replied with a serious face and turned to leave the hall.
He Ruli gave them the equipment to contact the surface, but they had to go to the tower near the city wall to successfully send out electromagnetic waves.
Wu Man asked: “Teacher, are these three spiritual cultivators with complete strength?”
Wang Jixuan pondered slightly and shook his head slowly.
He looked at Amina and Nielda Tamon and said slowly:
“The feeling they give me is completely different from these two. They are old and their vitality is declining, and after I knocked them down, some marks like dead wood appeared on their bodies.”
Nielda Tamon said: “Seeing them, I suddenly thought of a rumor.”
“What rumor?” Amina asked.
“They say that a group of spiritual cultivators who are about to die, although they have traditionally chosen candidates, are plotting something and have begun to move around frequently.”
Nielda Tamon recalled carefully:
“The earliest time I heard this rumor seemed to be thousands of years ago, and it was related to the technology that Obsidian and the others first took away from here.”
Wang Jixuan asked: “Amina, do you have the list of technologies that He Ruli gave them?”
“Yes,” Amina pursed her lips and frowned, “I think you might not want to see this thing.”
“Bring it to me and let me see.”
“Okay,” Amina gently guided with her fingers, and a scroll floated in front of Wang Jixuan.
The Daoist opened it and quickly fell into a speechless state.
No;
He Ruli seems to be quite shrewd, how could she have been so impetuous in the past?
She almost took out all of Ina Civilization’s assets, right?
However, after thinking about it slightly, Daoist Wang probably understood.
Obsidian and the others found this ancient relic, and He Ruli woke up from the chaos, and the City of Clouds was reactivated.
He Ruli’s state at the time should have been extremely poor, and seeing that they were the ‘legal inheritors’ of Ina Civilization, the spiritual civilization, she gave a large amount of vital technology all at once.
Including, but not limited to, the Blissful Sky Curtain, the Eternal Life Illusion, the derivation and manufacturing of spiritual energy circuits, the additional life extension technology of core circuits… and so on.
This list also shows another problem.
As He Ruli’s consciousness gradually stabilized, the remnant soul of the Great Pioneer reawakened, and active souls appeared in the Leader’s Hall, the technology that He Ruli gave became more and more marginal and less and less important.
Therefore, Obsidian’s forces gradually stopped paying attention to this place.
“Alright.”
Wang Jixuan threw the scroll back and waved his hand:
“Amina stays, everyone else goes back to rest. I will be in seclusion for half a month later, and my strength can still be improved by a small amount.
“Everyone should take a look at this list. You should have an idea of how difficult our future enemies are.
“Also, after I break through this seclusion, I will have to spend time slowly improving, so don’t have too high expectations for me. I can’t fight five or ten at a time, and it is impossible to directly defeat the Blade Beasts and this evil force in the short term.”
Everyone smiled at each other.
Soon, only Wang Jixuan and Amina were left in the hall.
Wang Jixuan wrapped the place with a layer of magic power, beckoned Amina forward, and took out a futon and placed it opposite him.
Amina seemed to have turned into a small version of herself in order to facilitate communication with Wang Jixuan.
She immediately relaxed, her small face drooping, and sat opposite Wang Jixuan full of depression.
“I know what you want to ask, is it Obsidian?”
“That’s right, is he like your dad?”
“Your dad!”
“Huh?” Wang Jixuan narrowed his eyes, “Are you euphemistically showing your love to me? Sorry, I have a girlfriend, you are a good person.”
“Bah!”
Amina’s almond eyes widened:
"You were just here agonizing, and now you have the energy to tease me?"
"Hey, that mood passed."
The Daoist chuckled:
"I was really hit hard. In both my lives, I failed to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation twice."
"Especially this second time."
"I maxed out everything. Dao Heart, Dao Realm, Dao Foundation, everything I could think of. I spent six thousand years replenishing everything. I even did good deeds, saving civilizations everywhere, accumulating merit."
"And then, I still failed."
"The Heavenly Tribulation seems to hate me. The longest lifespan for us cultivators is three thousand years. I managed to get six thousand years, but it still didn't work…"
A hint of sympathy appeared in Amina's eyes.
She had been with Wang Jixuan for quite some time.
Becoming an immortal was Wang Jixuan's obsession, and also his inner demon. Amina could even understand that a large part of the reason Wang Jixuan got together with Ling Tong was to perfect his own Dao Heart.
Amina asked, "Can you tell where the problem lies?"
"I don't know," Wang Jixuan said, supporting himself on his hands behind him. "So, I'm very conflicted right now. There's a blank period here."
"Blank period?"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan said, counting on his fingers. "The Stone of the Past can only show the parts it saw. I don't know what exactly happened between my second life's remnant soul leaving here twenty years ago and me waking up in Mu Liang's body."
Amina asked, "Who knows about it?"
"Ye Zi, she should know something."
Wang Jixuan said quickly:
"Ye Zi told me before that she only started awakening her past life memories after meeting me."
"But think about it, how old is Ye Zi? A teenager."
"How old was Mu Liang at the time? Twenty-four."
"What happened during those ten years?"
Amina said, "It seems that this Ye Zi is still a key figure."
"She's too important. I just want to pin her down and interrogate her properly," Wang Jixuan rubbed his temples. "I need to know the specific details of the second tribulation."
Amina nodded seriously, "Then why did you leave me here?"
"Dual cultivation."
"What?"
Amina seemed to have misheard. She glared at Wang Jixuan a few times, and then her pretty face turned red, and her body tensed up a bit.
She wanted to stand up and refuse sternly, after all, she wasn't a casual woman, but when the words reached her lips, she realized that this might be related to improving her strength to defend against the enemy.
Defending against the enemy, the continuation of civilization, these are all important matters;
Dual cultivation, it seems that both parties would benefit;
This… it's not impossible… I can't let him look down on me, after all, it's just a brief encounter, and I'm a seventeen-thousand-year-old maiden…
Amina raised her hand to tidy the hair beside her ear and gave a composed hum.
Wang Jixuan suddenly smiled, "Don't misunderstand, the dual cultivation I'm talking about is not like what I do with Ling Tong. That's Daoist dual cultivation, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. You are a spiritual cultivator, and it's not suitable. If we use that method, I would devour about eighty percent of your power, and you would become the weakest spiritual cultivator. Our side would lose a great general."
Amina breathed a sigh of relief.
And there was a faint hint of disappointment.
She asked crisply, "Then what kind of dual cultivation is it?"
"I'll find a way to help you restore your injuries and improve your strength first."
Wang Jixuan briefly explained the process of their dual cultivation.
The two would each take a portion of their mana and spiritual energy and intertwine them outside their bodies, helping each other nourish their souls or primordial spirits, thereby achieving the goal of improvement.
Wang Jixuan actually hid a part of the process.
He wanted to merge the Great Vehicle remnant soul with the current primordial spirit. This process would be accompanied by some dangers. If there was a force that could be used for neutralization, the degree of danger would be greatly reduced, and Amina would also receive unexpected benefits.
Nielda or Sabina could do this;
But Daoist Wang naturally had a scale in his heart, and it was human nature to be close to those he was close to and distant from those he was distant from.
"Prepare yourself a little bit, and we'll start immediately when you come back."
"What do I need to prepare?" Amina asked softly.
"Half a month, a beautiful dress, preferably a fitted one, it's more pleasing to the eye."
"Hmph, lecher."
Amina rolled her eyes prettily and turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Peony hurried back.
"Commander, I just got in touch with the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief said that the Blade Beast groups that were originally retreating across the board have begun to show abnormalities. We suspect that the newly arrived Three Spiritual Cultivators are going to cause trouble!"
