Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Dual Cultivation System Activated, A Cultivation Technique Beyond the Immortal Rank! (3rd Update)
“After reaching the Void Refinement Realm, the speed of cultivation becomes slower, it would be great if the cultivation speed could increase even more.”
Lu Changsheng was resting in the camp of the six great sects at Iron Sword Pass, preparing to lead the team back to Mount Shu.
The battle with the Demon General made Lu Changsheng realize that his cultivation level was not high enough.
Having cultivated for just over twenty years, Lu Changsheng felt it was a bit forced to try to catch up with an opponent who had been cultivating for two thousand years.
If he encountered the Demon Lord or Demon Generals, with Lu Changsheng’s current cultivation, he would still need to retreat.
Lu Changsheng did a quick calculation, going from the second to the third layer of the Void Refinement Realm, returning true qi through refining, as well as body refinement and the practice of cultivation techniques, would require five years.
The time needed to rise from the third to the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm would be even more.
Although Lu Changsheng’s cultivation speed is dozens of times that of peerless geniuses, given that he also focuses on body refinement, he still feels it’s not fast enough.
If the Supreme Elders of the six great sects knew that Lu Changsheng had caught up to them after only cultivating for just over twenty years, and he still found this speed slow, would they not feel they had lived in vain?
“Ding, the Dual Cultivation System function is now open, you have obtained the special cultivation technique ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’.”
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator seemed to have heard Lu Changsheng’s thoughts and suddenly unlocked a new function.
Lu Changsheng was startled, could there really be a way to accelerate cultivation?
[‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’: Unranked, created by Nameless, a non-combat cultivation technique, divided into Yin and Yang parts comprising eighteen layers, intended for a male and female to cultivate together. Once their hearts are in tune, when one party’s cultivation improves, the other can obtain a small amount of additional cultivation that doesn’t need to be refined. When one party cultivates a cultivation technique, the other can gain a small amount of additional understanding. The higher the layer of the technique, the more additional cultivation and insights returned. It is said that upon reaching the ultimate realm, there may be unexpected gains.]
“This technique is way too heaven-defying.”
After reading the introduction to the special cultivation technique ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’ rewarded by the system, Lu Changsheng’s scalp tingled.
The effects of this technique were even more perverse than those of a celestial-grade cultivation technique.
When one person cultivates, the other can obtain additional rewards in return?
Isn’t this just two people accelerating their cultivation together?
It’s like having an additional mini-system!
But who on earth created such a heaven-defying cultivation technique?
Lu Changsheng believed that even Daoist Taiqing of Mount Shu, who created the celestial-grade low-level ‘Taiqing Wuji Technique’, was not as remarkable as Nameless, who created ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’.
‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’ surpassed Lu Changsheng’s understanding of cultivation techniques; it was an unrankable technique.
It might even surpass celestial-grade techniques.
Are there really techniques surpassing celestial-grade in this world?
To know that if Lu Changsheng’s Taiqing Wuji Technique were cultivated to the tenth layer, he could surpass the leaders of the six great sects and be considered a top-notch powerhouse in this realm.
Even then, the tenth layer of Taiqing Wuji Technique is still within the category of celestial-grade low-level.
Lu Changsheng dared not imagine the power of a technique that surpassed celestial-grade.
Although ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’ seemed to Lu Changsheng to be a supreme technique higher than celestial-grade, it was not a combat technique like ‘Taiqing Wuji Technique’, capable of activating magical treasures; it was purely a supplementary cultivation technique.
The prerequisite to cultivate ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills’ is to have hearts in tune.
Moreover, the partner must have high aptitude and fast cultivation speed so that Lu Changsheng could obtain additional cultivation and insights in return; otherwise, it would only be the partner who gained benefits.
In other words, at least the talent and cultivation of both parties should be similar.
Therefore, the conditions for “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” are still quite strict.
“Among the six great sects, no one cultivates faster than Xia Ningxue, whom Inquiry Immortal Pavilion dedicates all its resources to nurturing. The Supreme Elders of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion even sacrifice their own cultivation to perform power-infusing initiation on her, hoping to cultivate an unparalleled genius. If I practice ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills,’ wouldn’t I be able to gain additional cultivation during the power-infusing initiation? This would be like using the Supreme Elders of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion to accelerate my cultivation.”
“Her Lingwa Holy Body and my Innate Taoist Body are special physiques of the same caliber, and she also practices swordsmanship. When she gains insights into swordsmanship, wouldn’t I also be able to receive those insights in return, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort?”
Lu Changsheng considered candidates within the six great sects and found that Xia Ningxue, who is also a Sword Cultivator, should be the most suitable choice.
Practicing “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” is like both individuals comprehending swordsmanship together, making it easier to reach a Great Accomplishment in swordsmanship, and both parties can also obtain additional cultivation returned during the other’s cultivation improvement.
This is also why Lu Changsheng believes that the grade of “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” surpasses that of Immortal-level cultivation techniques.
Only…
How should he broach the subject of dual cultivation with her?
Lu Changsheng flipped through “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” and found that, similar to other cultivation techniques, the two practitioners do not need to face each other; they just have to run the technique at the same time.
If that’s the case, Xia Ningxue should agree to it.
After all, both parties could speed up their cultivation and gain faster comprehension of various cultivation techniques and martial skills. Why not?
“Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” has a total of eighteen levels, which is more daunting than the ten levels of the Taiqing Wuji Technique. Who knows how long it will take to cultivate to the highest realm.
However, “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” can be operated separately at the heart’s location and does not conflict with running the “Taiqing Wuji Technique” in the Zodiac Meridians.
While cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique, Lu Changsheng could also practice the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills.
According to the description in “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills,” reaching the highest realm would result in unexpected gains.
After roughly understanding the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s dual cultivation system, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and went to the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s camp.
“Elder Lu.”
“I pay my respects to Elder Lu,” the disciples greeted respectfully.
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s elders and disciples saw Lu Changsheng from Mount Shu arriving and all paid their respects in turn.
Lu Changsheng was somewhat famous in Inquiry Immortal Pavilion for defeating Xia Ningxue at the Six Paths Conference, then slaying a fourth-layer Void Refinement Realm Savage Elephant King at Iron Sword Pass and fighting alongside Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s Supreme Elder Fairy Duanmu in Huang State. There was probably no one in the sect who had not heard of Lu Changsheng.
Currently a Supreme Elder of Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng was regarded with awe by the Golden Core Realm disciples of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
Even the Dao Palace Realm elders would adopt a junior’s stance in front of a Supreme Elder of Mount Shu.
“May I ask what brings Elder Lu here?”
With the six Sect Leaders chasing the Demon Lord, Fairy Duanmu was in charge of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s camp.
“I wish to visit the Holy Maiden of your sect.”
“Oh? What for?”
“This…”
Lu Changsheng certainly couldn’t say he wanted to dual cultivate.
“Fairy Duanmu might not know, but Elder Lu and our Sister Xia hit it off after a conflict,” Xiao Meng’er appeared and helped Lu Changsheng out of the bind, “Please follow me, Elder Lu. Sister Xia is currently practicing the ninth level of ‘Supreme Forgetting Love’.”
