Dual Cultivation God Returns

"Haa~... haa~... haa~... I..."

Xue Bing roughly breathed laying on his chest, his hand wrapped around her.

Her cheeks were red, but not only from the vigorous activity just before.

As her excitement started to subside and her desires were sated, she started calming down and slowly realize her behavior.

"Hahaha, no need to be shy about it..."

He chuckled, leaning to her and after giving her a kiss on the forehead, put his mouth next to her ear.

"...I liked it,

And would definitely look forward to see that side of you again"

He whispered into her ear as her eyes trembled with both a happy and embarrassed light in them.

"I... I liked it as well...

It was... you were... incredible"

She said not looking him in the eyes as he smiled and gave her another kiss, this ton her soft and sweet lips.

They did not rush to leave the bed, cuddling until the sun rose high into the sky at noon.

As she stood already wearing her clothes, fixing her hair, now with her usual calm and reserved expression, her eyes very subtly widened as she felt the connection between them.

"So this is..."

She put her hand over her lower abdomen and spoke in a straight and calm voice that had a tinge of surprise but not much different than usual.

"Mm"

He nodded with a smile, and she smiled to him as well, coming into his embrace once more.

Wu Long slowly breathed out sitting in a small circle along with his women, his cultivation reaching he 4th level of the Core Formation Realm.

They were currently sitting while under the influence of Luo Mingyu's Dao Intent, each working on their own optimization of cultivation, as their previous rise in realms was quite fast.

Xue Bing's ExtrYin Qi and Innate Yin Qi coupled with her cultivation base at the peak of Core Formation, and that her physique's Yin attribute was actually stronger than both Shen Min and Luo Mingyu's, gave him the ability to not only breakthrough to the 3rd level but even cross the watershed barrier into the 4th level while she instantly broke through to the Mortal Transcendence Realm.

Core Formation Realm's resources and Spiritual Qi requirements for advancing past the initial stage were minimal compared to the Foundation Building Realm, as one only had to build bridge-like connections in between the Foundation Crystals, binding them together into a core, Wu Long currently having finished the fourth round of connections.

He then reviewed his cultivation techniques, as he organized his cultivation very meticulously to not create any flaws.

First was the Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art that he used to refine any energy which he could then use for his purposes. It also tempered his body, making it more durable whenever he refined injuries, but not necessarily increasing the strength of his muscles.

Then there was his new body tempering technique, still unnamed, which functions included bloodline abilities control, his Yang Root and Yang Qi tempering, enhancement using the abilities of the Dao Runes, as well as the overall body strengthening. There was of course his method of exploding with strength using bursts of Spiritual Qi within muscles, and other such tricks in this technique which were the legacy of his Golden Yang Dragon Body Art.

His Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art's main function was advancing his cultivation, and its abilities were centered around the bond between him and his women.

However, while all these were incredibly powerful and profound, their functions were focused on the most fundamental aspects, pertaining to his personal growth as he relied mostly on his skills, combat techniques and secret arts, later adding Dao Runes, to create offensive advantage.

The two SuprCultivation Methods he cultivated with the help of Chaos Harmonic Nexus, however, were a different story.

The first of them, the Slaughter God Tyrant Vortex Art was harnessing the power of slaughter quite literally.

The practitioner created a vortex of a mysterious energy within their Dantian which revolved much like the natural vortex of Spiritual Qi around the Core, an energy that the previous God of Slaughter before Wu Long called Slaughter Qi.

The more enemies Wu Long slayed after forming the vortex, and the higher their powers were, the more momentum and intensity the vortex would gain as it absorbed the Life Qi of those he slayed.

That vortex multiplied the strength of the practitioner's Qi, whether that was Spiritual Qi, Blood Qi, Profound Qi, Elemental Qi or any other as long as he passed that Qi through the vortex before using it.

Moreover, this power was not tied to the cultivation base, meaning that he could grow infinitely in strength with this method while not rising in cultivation.

Though it also meant that if he advanced in cultivation much faster than gaining more Slaughter Qi, the strength this technique would give him would gradually decrease in relevancy.

The second, the SublHeavenly Sequence was a technique that combined Spiritual Qi, Soul Power and Blood Qi in a specific sequence inside the Core to produce what the Great Immortal Mountain Sect calls the SublQi.

This SublQi directly strengthens any combat technique or skill, doubling their strength when it is added into the technique's core method.

Both of these techniques, however, would normally clash, as SublQi and Slaughter Qi for sreason reject each other.

With the help of the Chaos Harmonic Nexus, Wu Long was able to practice both techniques without that clash happening.

There was, however, a catch, as the Chaos Harmonic Nexus only gave one the ability to mitigate the clash of different techniques, but the exact process was left to the practitioner, as one had to sort of balance everything using the methods of this Chaos technique.

In other words, this Chaos technique did not magically allow coexistence of different techniques on its own, but, much like the Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art and Chaos Origin Eye, required skill, comprehension and ability of the user to be useful.

Thus, there was a small remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the harmonization of the two techniques, that Wu Long could not yet resolve.

It did not pose a big problem now, but if left alone for too long could potentially lead to complications.

Lastly, there were auxiliary techniques such as the Battle Cultivation Scripture which allowed him to fully control or pause the process of his cultivation at any time, the Spiritual Qi War Art which increased the reserves and base quality of his Spiritual Qi, and the Cyclic Burning Cauldron that burned up any impurities and even ingested food to use as fuel for cultivation.

As they finished their meditation, Luo Mingyu sighed, beads of sweat going down the side of her face as she slightly weakly smiled.

"Thank you, Mingyu.

We will all leave for the Wood Spirit Continent soon, so I will see if I can get a meeting with the Blade Empress for you. Let's see if gaining insight into her Equilibrium Dao proves useful for you"

Wu Long smiled, as she nodded with a happy expression.

"Um... Wu Long... I didn't want to bring it up... not to mention that at the tit was no tto debate such things...but it just stayed on my mind.

Practicing a technique of the Evil Path... "

Wei Lan slightly hesitantly spoke up as Wu Long smiled.

"Hahaha, Evil Path is not the sas Corrupt Path, Lan'er.

Corrupt Path's techniques corrupt the mind of the practitioner and have a tendency to use mass victimization of mortals to attain power, while Evil Path's techniques are simply brutal and can give strength through immoral means such as slaughter.

The two have similarities and overlaps, but are nevertheless two separate paths.

Generally, I do not consider Evil Path's techniques any different from normal techniques or techniques of the Righteous Path. They have the potential to incentivize violence and 'evil deeds', but on their own have no moral attribute to them.

In other words, it is like a weapon, it depends on the use and the character of the practitioner.

The Righteous Path that persecutes anyone who practices Evil Path techniques, but I never allied myself with them and personally don't have any moral stance on those techniques, since I have always used everything that could giveadvantage over my enemies.

This is what sometimes getsinto trouble though"

Wu Long chuckled.

"Hmm, I see..."

Wei Lan traced her chin with a thoughtful expression, as the way he described it made sense.

It was not like Wu Long would suddenly start slaughtering people simply to gain power, he would just gain power from those he would have killed anyway.

"To be honest, were it not for the techniques of the Corrupt Path having a detrimental effect on the user's psyche, I would also not disdain using their skills.

There is a particular part of their legacy concerning blood manipulation that does evoke my interest now that I have a use for it. I just have to find a way to mitigate any corrupting effects"

Wu Long then added.

"Hmm? Aren't you already capable of manipulating blood?"

Hua Ziyan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Hahaha, sort of. If I infuse a certain amount of water that has a sufficient amount of my Water Qi in it into the blood, I can then spread the Water Qi to control that blood like water, but it has to be able to overwhelm the other party's Blood Qi which is not easy to do with Water Qi, and requires far too much Spiritual Qi use.

It is no problem manipulating a dead being's blood though, as it cannot resist my control over the blood"

Wu Long chuckled, as he spoke, inwardly adding:

'And the use of Blood Rune is impossible with this method, at least yet'

Since his main interest was if it was possible to use his Blood Rune remotely or in any other way.
