Chapter 600 - 652 Demon Seed
The mountain wind urged on, making a rustling sound.
A handsome man stood atop the mountain peak, gazing into the distance, seemingly in deep thought.
In his eyes, a gleam flickered, reflecting upon all that had transpired in Chu Country. The earth-shattering duel had finally come to a close.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The Six Desires Ancestor spoke, his voice gentle and magnetic, a voice that could easily captivate a woman.
"The East Pole was still somewhat negligent, and ultimately perished. The Golden Crow Great Venerable too fell short, turning to cinders; the Kunpeng Demon Venerable, though lacking in aptitude, comprehension, and destiny, ironically had the greatest self-awareness and thus could progress further. Lu Xuanji, originally known as Xuanji True Monarch, now titled as Creation Celestial Venerable, truly lives up to his name."
"Yet the demon seed has already been sown, and when Lu Xuanji proves Dao Refining Void, it will be time to harvest!"
At this moment, the Six Desires Celestial Venerable closed his eyes, his figure dissolving into the wind, disappearing without a trace.
Back at the Joyful Union Demon Sect, indulgence continued unabated, as all present remained immersed in the pleasure between men and women, whether affectionate or detached, absorbed or indifferent, all were deeply lost, trapped in a world of illusion, gradually losing their self-awareness.
...
The Lu Family, Purple Sun Mountain.
After the battle, Jin Xi, Qing Lian, Ning Xue, and others began to sort their gains, inventory their family assets, and commenced settling scores with the Celestial Spirit Sect.
Returning to the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji began his recovery.
In this great battle, with the help of Ning Xue and the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure, he achieved the impossible, breaking the shackles to defeat East Pole and scare away Kunpeng.
But in truth, his realm was merely at the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation, a relatively low realm, with weaker combat power. Without the external aids, he could not have defeated those veteran Divinity Transformation elites. Victory felt somewhat fortunate; this time he relied on luck, but next time such fortune might not favor him.
Having returned to his Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji began to heal his injuries.
His body was damaged, like broken porcelain seemingly on the verge of splitting apart; on his five viscera, an astonishing divine intent eroded, preventing the healing of his injuries; gray runes on his bones eroded his skeleton, exacerbating the deterioration of his injuries.
In his Sea of Consciousness, there was damage, with magical power corroding this space. The gray magical power intertwined with the golden magical power, further aggravating the damage to his Sea of Consciousness.
His primordial spirit, too, appeared weak and gravely wounded.
"The injuries are quite severe!"
Lu Xuanji activated the [Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Technique], and thirty-three worlds appeared behind him, with jade towers and pavilions, ethereal fairylands where immortals danced, divine generals walked, Vermilion Birds fluttered, and Black Tortoises played in the water, all sorts of anomalies intertwined, unfolding the mysteries of world creation.
As the anomalies operated, the injuries slowly began to heal.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.
"Cough cough, still a bit lacking, the injuries are quite severe, I’ve underestimated the speed of recovery for such wounds. At this rate, it will take at least a thousand years for complete recovery, otherwise, there will be severe Dao injuries, damaging my foundation!" Lu Xuanji examined his body’s healing progress, vaguely worried.
He had underestimated the East Pole, the injuries East Pole left him with were not something that could be healed in a short time.
Just then, a knock came at the door.
Lu Xuanji opened the door of the Cave Mansion, and a woman stood there, dressed in a snow-white robe, her figure well-proportioned, skin like white jade, exuding coldness, yet emotions flickered in her black and white clear eyes, it was Ning Xue.
Ning Xue entered the Cave Mansion.
Lu Xuanji activated magic to close the Cave Mansion, and asked, "How are your injuries?"
Ning Xue replied, "My injuries have recently healed, and I took the opportunity to break through and reach the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation!"
Lu Xuanji smiled, "Congratulations on reaching the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation."
As he spoke, there was a faint hint of bitterness in his words,
Back in the day, when he first met Ning Xue, she was just a Qi Refining junior, while he was already a Golden Core Ancestor. A thousand years later, Ning Xue had reached the Fourth Layer of Divinity Transformation, her status now on par with his. This was due to the countless resources he poured into her relentlessly, but also because of Ning Xue’s exceptional aptitude.
Ning Xue said, "Master’s injuries have not yet healed?"
Lu Xuanji replied, "Cough cough, still a bit lacking."
Ning Xue’s face showed slight shyness, but she still spoke, "Master, shall we dual cultivate together? The combination of pure yin and pure yang will accelerate the cultivation speed greatly!"
Lu Xuanji pondered, then said, "That’s true, sorry to trouble you!"
Ning Xue said, "Wait a moment!"
Saying this, Ning Xue took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, her feet like white jade, with her long dress draped on either side.
Lu Xuanji sat opposite her, reaching out his hands.
The two placed their hands together, connecting their breaths and magical powers, intertwining yin and yang qi, continuously rotating and transforming, continuously creating and destroying, with their magical power merging into a whole, rapidly increasing their cultivation level, practically doubling it.
Instantly, Lu Xuanji felt his injuries healing rapidly, the recovery speed was astonishing.
Originally, it would require a thousand years for complete recovery, but now it would only take five hundred years.
The pure yin qi entered his body, making it feel cool, and gradually the scorching heat of his body cooled down, as the merged primordial magical power circulated through his body, ensnaring him like fine wine.
Ning Xue also operated the cultivation technique, under the guidance of Yin Yang Transformation, the magical powers of the two merged rapidly, and when the pure yang magical power entered her body, it was like a great boost.
