After Lu Changsheng returned, he presented Ning Qianqian with sixteen Nether Dragon Fruits, and the system reimbursed him with fifteen Netherworld Primeval Fruits and one Dragon King Divine Fruit.
Lu Changsheng consumed the second Dragon King Divine Fruit, and his Three Souls and Seven Spirits grew more formidable once again.
Lu Changsheng was certain that even if he were attacked by a soul capturing magical treasure of inferior Emperor Soldier caliber, his Divine Sense would be able to withstand it.
Ning Qianqian had devoured a total of twenty Nether Dragon Fruits, which made her soul incredibly strong.
“The Candle Dragon Clan might have made a profit, but I never lose.”
Lu Changsheng refined his soul, and in the Immortal Emperor Realm, both his physical body and soul were nearly invincible.
“Xue’er, come to me.”
Lu Changsheng thought of the numerous supreme treasures he had accumulated over the years. It was unlikely that one person could use them all, so he decided to share some with Xia Ningxue.
“Is this an Origin Dao Fruit?”
Xia Ningxue received an eighteenth-grade spiritual fruit and was astonished.
The Nether Dragon Fruit from the Candle Dragon Clan was quite precious, but it was only a fifteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. The Origin Dao Fruit, however, was an eighteenth-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that not only contained vast amounts of Spiritual Energy but also enhanced understanding of the Dao. It was rarely seen even in the Guanghan Holy Land.
“Use these elixir pills for self-preservation or cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng then gifted Xia Ningxue a batch of Immortal Pills.
Fifteenth-grade Immortal Pills Seven Treasures Detoxification Pill, sixteenth-grade Immortal Pills Seven-Colored Celestial Python Gallbladder Detoxification Immortal Pill, seventeenth-grade Immortal Pills Taiyin Ultimate Pill…
“And there are these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”
Lu Changsheng stuffed a pile of treasures to Xia Ningxue, such as the Nine-Colored Lily, Netherworld Primeval Fruit, Enlightenment Tea, and so on…
Xia Ningxue, overwhelmed by such an abundance of treasures, repeatedly said, “This is too much, you should keep them for your own cultivation. As the Guanghan Holy Maiden, I also get a fair share of cultivation resources…”
“I have plenty of these things.”
Lu Changsheng, having been a master for quite some time, indeed had a substantial collection of treasures.
The treasures he shared with Xia Ningxue were just a drop in the ocean compared to what he had amassed.
Xia Ningxue was no stranger to him, practically family, so Lu Changsheng was generous with the treasures he offered her.
If it weren’t for the fact that Xia Ningxue already possessed powerful magical treasures, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind giving away a few Emperor Soldiers as well.
“Besides, what I’m giving isn’t to someone else; it’s for my own beloved wife.”
Lu Changsheng teased her on purpose.
“…”
Xia Ningxue’s ears turned red. Ever since they had reunited, Lu Changsheng would often tease her, and she invariably blushed.
“Do you still remember the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills and the Holy Spirit Sword Art?”
“Mhm.”
“Previously, our realms were not sufficient. We hadn’t been able to cultivate the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills and the Holy Spirit Sword Art to an advanced level. Now that we are both Immortal Emperors, if we cultivate these two techniques, we should be able to reach a higher level much faster.”
Lu Changsheng hadn’t forgotten the Dual Cultivation System also had two cultivation techniques.
The Holy Spirit Sword Art, a rankless Sword Art with twenty-three layers, required two people with a harmonious mindset and similar cultivation to wield.
Lu Changsheng always believed it was a formidable technique, otherwise, it wouldn’t have an outrageous twenty-three layers.
“Alright.”
Xia Ningxue hadn’t used these two techniques for a long time either.
Now that both were at the Immortal Emperor Realm, their cultivation progressed much faster.
The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills had eighteen layers. Before their ascension, they had practiced up to the third layer.
Now, as they continued to practice the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills, they effortlessly understood the fourth layer.
[Ding, your Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills have reached the fourth layer. Reward: Cultivation Space (ten days).]
[The ten days in the Cultivation Space are equivalent to one thousand years outside. Only those who have received the reward may enter the Cultivation Space. Before the cultivation is complete, one cannot leave the Cultivation Space or take on disciples.]
Cultivation Space?!
Lu Changsheng remembered this feature being extremely useful for last-minute efforts!
During the Zhong Zhou Conference, it was by utilizing the Cultivation Space that Lu Changsheng compensated for his shortcoming of insufficient cultivation time.
With only ten days until the Candle Dragon Clan’s selection of the Clan Leader, it was the perfect opportunity to enter the Cultivation Space and delve into “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” and “Holy Spirit Sword Art.”
Ten days of cultivation in the space would be like a thousand years outside.
Having recently reunited with Xia Ningxue, spending a thousand years alone in the Cultivation Space seemed quite appealing to Lu Changsheng.
Thus, Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue announced they would go into seclusion for ten days, asking followers from Tai Hua Holy Land and Guanghan Holy Land not to disturb them, and then they entered the Cultivation Space.
During those thousand years, the two devoted themselves to cultivating “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” and “Holy Spirit Sword Art.”
After a thousand years of cultivation, “Holy Spirit Sword Art” was cultivated to the seventeenth layer, and then…
Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue found themselves unable to progress any further.
The two looked at each other in astonishment, marvelling at the profundity of “Holy Spirit Sword Art.”
They were already at the first level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, and had cultivated other sword techniques. Lu Changsheng had even encountered the Tai Hua Holy Land’s heritage sword technique—”One Sword Across Ages.” Both had a comprehension of Sword Dao that could be considered adventuring into realm of artistry. They originally thought they could cultivate the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” to the twenty-third layer, Great Perfection, in one breath, but they abruptly stopped at the seventeenth layer.
“According to the records in ‘Holy Spirit Sword Art,’ the eighteenth-layer concept is Sword Eighteen, followed by Sword Nineteen, Sword Twenty, Sword Twenty-One, Sword Twenty-Two, Sword Twenty-Three. I had no idea Sword Eighteen would be this difficult. This Sword Art might well be on par with ‘One Sword Across Ages’. Moreover, as this is a dual-person sword art, the combined strength of two cultivators triggers an even more extraordinary Sword Qi.”
When Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue worked together to cultivate “Holy Spirit Sword Art,” they realized the power of the art.
The most astonishing aspect of the “Holy Spirit Sword Art” was that when two Immortal Emperors wielded it, the resultant force was greater than the sum of their individual powers.
