Chapter 461 - 230: Dual Cultivation
As Chu Xuan opened his eyes and stood up, Qingqing felt that his aura had become more restrained, yet it was still different from before, calm and poised, as if nothing troubled his heart.
Seeing her loved one break through a realm, Qingqing felt a bit anxious, "Back when we first met, we were both at the second realm, almost simultaneously broke through to the third realm, and then to the fourth realm, but now your cultivation speed is getting too fast, I can’t keep up."
This ancient battlefield, to her, was by no means a holy land for cultivation; even with the top-grade pills produced by the Demon Sect, after a full decade, she had only managed to barely reach the peak of the fourth realm.
Although among the genius disciples of the major sects, this cultivation speed was considered to be quite advanced, Qingqing was still dissatisfied. She constantly worried that one day, Chu Xuan would find her too weak to be worthy of staying by his side...
This anxiety was not unfounded because the cultivation levels of Chu Xuan’s "old lovers" were more astonishing one after the other. Qingqing always felt a sense of inferiority in front of them; if not for the demon dragon she could command, she would feel even lower.
Chu Xuan shook his head with a smile: "Isn’t it good that I protect you? Rest assured, the difference in cultivation level won’t affect our relationship."
In fact, Chu Xuan had considered quickly enhancing his cultivation through dual cultivation, as the Hehuan Sect’s ’Celestial Immortal Soul-Devouring Technique’ was a top-tier orthodox dual cultivation technique in the world.
He had fully recalled the related memories long ago when reminiscing about Chen Mengdie, and could now transcribe the technique from memory.
But Qingqing couldn’t switch to this technique, and neither could Chu Xuan. He couldn’t possibly use some self-serving ’harvesting’ method on her, which rendered it rather useless.
Though some illustrations and secret techniques recorded in the ’Celestial Immortal Soul-Devouring Technique’ could aid cultivation through dual cultivation, practicing this secret technique would mean he couldn’t simultaneously operate the ’Celestial Water Returning Ruins Technique’ and had to promote one another through the yin-yang great path.
The cultivation efficiency for Chu Xuan was less than just honestly practicing his own cultivation techniques.
One day, if he wanted to help Qingqing improve her cultivation with his ’Dual Cultivation Holy Body,’ that method might suffice.
As for whether Qingqing might be too shy to accept those special ’positions’...
Chu Xuan just wanted to say "hehe," since she’s now at the point where she knows all the pleasures, and he’s more worried that once she has this valid excuse, she’d clamor for dual cultivation with him every day.
Thus Chu Xuan didn’t bring this matter up, intending to discuss it later if necessary. For now, he focused on enhancing his own strength.
If he truly wished to quickly enhance his strength in a short time, he indeed needed to dual cultivate with Chen Yunqi, the Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect.
Firstly, Chen Yunqi’s cultivation level was at the ninth heaven of the seventh realm, two major realms higher than Chu Xuan’s, and cultivating with her would undoubtedly benefit him significantly.
Back then, during the half-month he spent ’playing’ with Qing’er, even without formal dual cultivation, he managed to enhance a minor realm for that reason.
Secondly, Chen Yunqi practiced the ’Celestial Immortal Soul-Devouring Technique’ with profound mastery, her understanding of the technique and the yin-yang great path unmatched by the average cultivator.
Lastly, Chen Yunqi possessed a dual cultivation holy body termed the ’Celestial Fragrance Jade Dew Body.’ If combined with Chu Xuan’s ’Celestial Marrow,’ the two would complement each other with the yin-yang synergy; in just a few months, Chu Xuan could certainly advance to the sixth realm.
However... Chu Xuan considered himself to have no emotional attachment to Chen Yunqi; dual cultivating with her would just mean each fulfilling their needs.
Chen Yunqi eyed Chu Xuan with the intent to use him to break through the insurmountable barrier of the eighth realm, so she would inevitably agree.
The only ones who would disagree are likely these ’old flames and new passions’ of Chu Xuan.
Contemplating this, Chu Xuan looked at Qingqing and said: "Going forward, I plan to seek out Chen Yunqi for dual cultivation. Do you have any objections?"
His tone was as casual as talking about "the weather is nice today," yet Qingqing’s face changed instantly.
"No way!"
Qingqing and Xiao Xue spoke in unison. Oh no, to be exact, it was Qingqing and Ji Mingyu.
Chu Xuan anticipated her reaction, explaining his reasoning to her sincerely, ending with: "If you don’t agree, then forget it."
On hearing this, Qingqing fell into deep thought. She knew that Chu Xuan’s current eagerness to enhance his strength had reached an extreme point, otherwise, he wouldn’t have turned to practicing the demonic techniques from the Celestial Evil Period.
If she stopped him from dual cultivating with Chen Yunqi, would that count as impeding his cultivation? Would he be unhappy with her?
Ji Mingyu has similar considerations.
Moreover, the women around Chu Xuan were already too many; did they really need another surnamed Chen? It was already tough dealing with her master; now comes the disciple again??
Isn’t the Hehuan Sect just endless "generations after generations"?
In short, these two women, from the bottom of their hearts, did not wish for Chu Xuan to go to the Hehuan Sect and dual cultivate with that enchantress; yet, they couldn’t replace her, lacking the excellent cultivation conditions that Chen Yunqi possessed...
Xiao Xue was also quite troubled, only worried about what world-shocking actions its master might take with his body.
Just then, they saw Chu Xuan casually wave his hand, "No need to be troubled, I shared this with you not to force you, nor to morally blackmail you. If you don’t like it, I won’t do it."
