"You’ve succeeded."
The words of the short-haired, intelligent-looking beautiful woman were filled with a soft and sticky sweetness. She spoke these words without reservation, because after fifty-seven years of companionship, she understood Song Cheng’s character all too well.
If Song Cheng still felt even a hint of threat, he wouldn’t have appeared here.
His presence here proved one thing—that even the fusion of Zhang Daolu and Long Xueling was no match for him.
"You are Song Cheng?! You are Song Cheng!!" Shi Feng looked at the youth before him with bitter hatred. The woman he had marked as his own, whom he had decided to take as his Taoist Companion, was now lying in the arms of another man, intimately close to him.
And at this moment, another thought occurred to him: it seemed that Song Cheng had entered Jing Shifei’s room and had never come out.
Now, seeing the two of them together like this, how could he not understand that they had done everything already?
"Feier, why?!"
Shi Feng couldn’t help but ask angrily.
Originally, he had lost much interest in this woman, but her "plan to seize him" had reignited his desire to conquer. Coupled with the random thoughts during twenty years of captivity in Mysterious Clear Palace, and several encounters, he had rekindled the idea.
But now...
Jing Shifei looked at Shi Feng and said indifferently: "Song Cheng made me remember that apart from being a True Spirit, I am also a woman, and I have experienced the joy of womanhood."
Her voice carried pride and disdain.
Shi Feng was left speechless, but the Qi of Anomalies around him had already condensed, gathering in his pupils and turning them a blood-red color, clearly indicating he was in terrible shape.
The woman he wished for in his heart was now being intimate with another man right before his eyes.
"Taoist Friend Song..." Zhang Daolu came back to his senses, looked at Song Cheng, gave a salute and then turned to Jing Shifei, "Palace Master Jing, what is going on here?"
Jing Shifei spoke openly: "Palace Master Zhang, Song Cheng is my Taoist Companion, and he has been cultivating in my abode over these years."
"May I ask what his current Realm is like?" Zhang Daolu inquired.
Song Cheng replied: "I have reached one Realm and have absorbed the Taiyin-Taiyang Dual Qi. Mr. Zhang, what about you?"
Zhang Daolu was stunned, staring at the youthful face in front of him. For a moment, he was dazed and after several breaths’ pause, he said, "My wife and I fused to barely transform into one Realm, but as for the absorption of the Taiyin-Taiyang Dual Qi, I do not know how to proceed."
At such levels of cultivation, unlike in the mortal world, your "Realm" might sometimes be used to deceive others.
Here, what level you are at is clear for all to see.
The Master of Mountains and Rivers is like the misty ink; the True Spirits are like flowing liquid ink; Zhang Daolu and Long Xueling are like solid ink... while Song Cheng, not only is he solidified, but he is also colored.
The distinction between high and low Realms can be discerned at a glance.
Thus, at this moment, even Zhang Daolu was asking for advice.
Song Cheng glanced at Shi Feng and said, "Palace Master Zhang, let’s walk."
Zhang Daolu understood and replied, "Alright."
...
Immediately, Zhang Daolu moved, and Long Xueling separated from the fused world. Her power level actually dropped a few notches, no longer the "26600~39200" that Song Cheng had seen before, but "22000~32000."
Although Long Xueling was not as powerful as Zhang Daolu, they were not far apart. This ethereal and beautiful woman was well-informed about the outside world even from within the small world and gave a courteous salute to Song Cheng.
Jing Shifei held Song Cheng’s hand, and walked along with Zhang Daolu and his wife.
Song Cheng shared without reservation "the complete insights and subsequent experiences" of the Dragon Tiger Heavenly Circuit Technique.
Zhang Daolu and his wife asked questions in turn.
He answered patiently.
During this time, Jing Shifei couldn’t even interject, only listening silently.
She observed that Zhang Daolu and his wife sometimes looked puzzled, sometimes excited.
It was only after a long walk that Zhang Daolu excitedly said, "The Taiyin-Taiyang requires Dual Cultivation, this path is indeed correct.
Among the many spells previously, the Dual Cultivation Technique was not conspicuous, but my junior sister Long and I felt that this method fits well with the mysteries of Yin and Yang. Therefore, we cultivated it despite others’ views, supporting each other, complementing each other, thus reaching our current Realm.
Originally, we were worried that this path might come to an end... after all, the small world created after my fusion with junior sister Long still has many issues, and often feels discordant, hungry and so on.
It now seems that it’s a matter of insufficient understanding in Dual Cultivation.
The hunger is because once a small world is formed, it requires the Taiyin-Taiyang Dual Qi."
Long Xueling also said, "The reason why Mr. Zhang and I agreed to Shi Feng was because even we could not be sure if the path ahead was correct.
Now that we have Taoist Brother Song with us... there’s no doubt that we are on the right path.
Thus, with male cultivators as Taiyang and female cultivators as Taiyin, practicing the ’Dual Cultivation Technique’ together is the correct path indeed."
Jing Shifei suddenly asked, "What about entering the Longevity Manor?"
Zhang Daolu said gravely, "There is something wrong with that manor, and Shi Feng has ulterior motives."
The group fell silent.
It didn’t need to be said; everyone was aware of the dangers of the journey to the manor, an option only to be considered as a last resort.
However, the issue of aging for the Master of Mountains and Rivers had to be solved.
Palace Master Huang Taixuan was running out of time.
Song Cheng suddenly smiled faintly and said, "Palace Master Zhang..."
Zhang Daolu raised his hand to interrupt, "The greater the accomplishment, the more one deserves to be the mentor, Taoist Brother Song, don’t address me like that, simply call me a friend."
Song Cheng said, "Mr. Zhang, have you cultivated the ’Spirit Servant Technique’ to Perfection?"
Zhang Daolu looked astonished and turned to glance at his Taoist Companion.
Long Xueling’s expression was similar to his.
Even Jing Shifei didn’t know what her man was implying, but she followed along with his words, "Is it not enough to reach the Entry Level of the ’Spirit Servant Technique’? What’s there to cultivate further? It’s nothing but a Dharma Method that shortens life."
