Chapter 707 Dual Cultivation · Sudden Rise of Cultivation Level
Feng Xingyun took a deep breath.
He choked back his anger and became levelheaded again.
Feng Xingyun walked over to the trusted guard named You Yu, pulled the guard back to his feet, and said, “The Green Fox God has intervened in this matter and issued an edict that strictly prohibits attacks on any listed Heavenly Legend. Although she is only a deity that has just assumed her role, she has absolute authority in the Imperium Vulpes Divine City. I can’t let my most loyal and excellent companion die because of my anger.”
You Yu felt very grateful to his master.
The other armored guards also knelt down on one knee and expressed their loyalty.
Feng Xingyun said, “I must apologize to you. Because I made a mistake today, you were humiliated because of my mistake, and I even brought disgrace upon our clan because of my impulsive behavior. I failed to clearly understand Li Yidao’s temperament and acted in the wrong way, so he took the opportunity and counter-attacked me... I’m sorry.”
All the guards were indignant about the insult that their master had suffered.
The original low morale suddenly rose.
Feng Xingyun helped them up and said, “I have to make some preparations so that I can grind Li Yidao’s bones and scatter his ashes in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm... Someone hurry back to the clan and bring the divine artifact.”
Clack! Clack!
He threw the most valuable porcelain ware to the floor.
It was made by a master of molding and worth hundreds of gold-colored fairy crystals.
Huangfu Chengdao was perhaps angrier than Feng Xingyun.
For Huangfu Chengdao, either the psychological or the physical blow he had suffered was nothing compared to his losing the Lady of the Clouds. For the first time in his life, he felt so helpless that he could only watch his beloved woman leave with another man.
The way that the Lady of the Clouds looked at Li Yidao made him feel as if he was on pins and needles.
He was much worried that something might happen between her and Li Yidao.
All those that had been in love could understand that feeling.
“Li Yidao, I must kill you.”
Huangfu Chengdao crushed his favorite sword into pieces, but he was still furious.
“Someone go and keep an eye on that posthouse,” he shouted loudly.
A King-level master of the Heavenly Deity Clan immediately headed to the posthouse to be on watch.
Huangfu Chengdao sat quietly on the throne. Thousands of thoughts and images flashed through his mind. He remembered the time when he traveled with the Lady of the Clouds and how desperately he wanted this woman. Those memories made him feel like a cat was scratching his heart.
He spoke again, “Uncle Hei, pass my order and put a price on Li Yidao’s head.”
An old voice rang out from the dark. “Young Master, the Green Fox God has issued an edict. We can’t take action against him in the Imperium Vulpes Divine city. As your protector, I have to remind you of that.”
Huangfu Chengdao said angrily, “Of course I know that, but my bounty is for something to be done in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. Send a message to all the Heavenly Legends that are qualified to enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm and offer rewards to them for going against Li Yidao. Anyone who can kill Li Yidao will receive the reward of a legendary Cultivation Method plus one hundred thousand gold-colored original crystals. Anyone who can injure Li Yidao will receive the reward of one hundred thousand gold-colored original crystals, and anyone who can provide information on Li Yidao’s whereabouts will be rewarded twenty thousand gold-colored original crystals.”
“Alright,” replied the old voice.
The Witchcraft Saint sat quietly in his secret chamber.
A bronze oil lamp was burning with a faint blue ghostly flame in front of him.
The bronze oil lamp was strangely shaped like a ferocious ancient bird with a long neck. It was hovering in the air with its wings spread and carrying a dark blue flame on its back. It was covered in green patinas, and some parts of it were rusted, giving off an antique, mysterious, and weird aura.
The Witchcraft Saint opened his mouth and inhaled wisps of dim blue flames, as if he were breathing in the air.
He repeated this process countless times.
Then he stopped practicing and walked out of the secret chamber. A protector was standing guard at the door to protect him from being disturbed or interrupted during his training.
“The Heavenly Deity Clan has sent us a message.” The protector handed a jade medallion to him.
The Witchcraft Saint injected some natural qi into the jade medallion, looked at it casually, and sneered. “Tell Huangfu Chengdao that one hundred thousand gold-colored original crystals and a legendary Cultivation Method are meaningless to us. If he wants me to kill Li Yidao for him, he must reward me with the Divine Fire Breathing Skill of the Heavenly Deity Clan.”
The protector said, “That’s unlikely, isn’t it? The ‘Divine Fire Breathing Skill’ is one of the six core secret skills of the Heavenly Deity Clan. They will never disclose a secret skill. How could they give it to you so easily?”
The Witchcraft Saint smiled faintly and said, “People in love are blind. Huangfu Chengdao’s mind is in turmoil now. He no longer has the heroic spirit and ambition that he used to have. He will agree to my condition for the sake of the Lady of the Clouds.”
“Then I will go and give it a try,” said the protector.
If he could get one of the six secret skills of the Heavenly Deity Clan, that would be a huge gain for him.
“One hundred thousand gold-colored original crystals? Heh-heh, what an attractive fortune.”
“Ha-ha, that’s good news. A legendary Cultivation Method is what I have been dreaming of. If I can get it, I will definitely soar to the sky. Heh-heh, I can’t kill Li Yidao in a head-on fight, but as long as I act carefully and make my move secretly, I will have a chance.”
“As long as I can stop Li Yidao from drawing his broadsword, I will have a chance of killing him.”
“When a high reward is offered, brave fellows are bound to come forward. All that I need to do is to watch secretly and take action when Li Yidao is seriously injured by others. In that way, I might kill him.”
“Destruction pursues the great.”
“Ha-ha-ha, my Poisoning Skill finally comes in handy. I have a lot of opportunities to kill Li Yidao in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.”
As the news of the Heavenly Deity Clan offering rewards for going against Li Yidao spread, many of the top 100 Heavenly Legends wanted to do something about it.
After all, unlike the Immortal-slaying Platform designed for fair competition, the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm was a place where they could use all kinds of shady methods. To kill someone in there, they didn’t need to engage in a head-on fight with the target, but instead, they could achieve the purpose by secretly plotting against the target. It was even possible for one to kill a stronger opponent by these means. After all, a large number of bugs and ants could even devour lions and tigers sometimes.
There were undercurrents simmering beneath the surface.
“Agree to all of their conditions.”
Huangfu Chengdao snarled.
Just now, he got the news that the Lady of the Clouds and Li Yidao had spent one day and one night together in the same room.
“They live in the same room.
“Nobody knows what’s happened.
“No. The Lady of the Clouds has a strong sense of self-control. She will never...”
Hatred and jealousy almost drove him crazy.
“Do you mean that we agree to all the conditions?” The protector frowned and continued. “Young Master, some conditions are outrageous. For example, the Witchcraft Saint is coveting our ‘Divine Fire Breathing Skill’...”
Huangfu Chengdao shouted angrily, “I’ve already said that I agree to all the conditions. Does he want the ‘Divine Fire Breathing Skill’? As long as he can kill Li Yidao, I’ll give it to him. Hey-hey, it’s just that he has to be alive to practice it.”
“Alright, I got it,” said the protector.
Everything seemed like a dream to Li Mu.
He finally experienced the most original joy of being a man.
They had been together through the whole day and night. Although Hua Xiangrong had a Natural Taoist Figure and a special physique, she was still tired. She was lying in bed with her tender arms and white feet uncovered and a satisfied and happy smile on her face. Obviously, she was sleeping soundly.
Li Mu had already put on his robe. He sat there, practicing the “Xiantian Skill” to guide the natural qi surging wildly in his body.
He had made a breakthrough.
After making love to Hua Xiangrong, he had broken through the Soldier Realm and entered the General Realm.
Li Mu was surprised.
But he soon remembered that when he was on the Heavenly Land, someone told him that Hua Xiangrong had a Natural Taoist Figure, and if a man could work with her for Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation, there would be incredible benefits, especially for cultivation. Through dual cultivation, the couple could gain benefits comparable to magic skills.
“Does what happened today prove that his words are true?”
When Li Mu held the beauty in his arms and did whatever he wanted to her, he did not feel the benefits of sex between a man and a woman. However, when he practiced the “Xiantian Skill” to guide his natural qi, he had an incredible feeling. After he entered the General Realm, his natural qi was endless, and it was still surging wildly inside him. It seemed that he could reach an even higher cultivation level.
“That’s not right. Even though she has a Natural Taoist Figure, how could the benefits of dual cultivation be so great? This is crazy.”
Li Mu couldn’t help wondering.
He thought for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that Hua Xiangrong had probably been practicing the Xiantian Skill with her Natural Taoist Figure, so her Cultivation Method was highly compatible with Li Mu’s, and the benefits of dual cultivation were doubled because of that.
It took Li Mu a whole day to guide, constrain, and finally master the natural qi surging wildly in his body.
“I have successfully reached the elementary level of General Realm.”
He carefully felt this brand new power inside him.
Generally speaking, after a practitioner entered the General Realm, it would take him several years or even decades to consolidate his cultivation achievement before he could reach the elementary level, even if the practitioner was a genius. However, it took Li Mu just one day to complete the journey that others needed many years to finish. It was simply incredible.
Li Mu felt refreshed and comfortable all over.
He smiled and stood up. He found that Hua Xiangrong was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a robe that could barely conceal her tender body, looking at him shyly.
She had woken up.
She had changed from a girl into a young woman. Nourished with love, she looked more radiant and incomparably charming, as if she were reborn overnight. At first glance, Li Mu was completely stunned.
Moreover, Hua Xiangrong’s cultivation had suddenly risen to a level even higher than that of Li Mu. She had reached the high level of General Realm.
Her Natural Taoist Figure was really amazing.
“Li Mu.” Hua Xiangrong stood up, picked up Li Mu’s clothes, and helped Li Mu to get dressed.
That was something that she had wanted to do for a very, very long time, and now her wish had finally been fulfilled.
When she thought of her active move last night, she felt shy but did not regret it at all.
While she was wandering in the Star River, she already thought it through. She didn’t want to miss another opportunity, and she believed that her affection for Li Mu would never change.
The two of them changed their clothes, freshened up, opened the door, and walked out.
Sunlight poured down on them.
There were nine days left before the opening of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
Li Mu suddenly realized that he should make the best use of his time and spend a few more days on dual cultivation. Maybe he could reach an even higher cultivation level.
Now that the barrier between them was gone, he had completely accepted Hua Xiangrong and no longer thought about anyone else.
