Chapter 1304: Chapter 503: Master and Disciple Break Through Together! Ling Ningzhi Cultivates on Her Master’s Behalf!
Chen Mo, far away, thousands of miles apart, was unaware of the turmoil in the Imperial Palace caused by him.
After verbally rewarding the Daoist Venerable, the two began to delve into the Cultivation Method. Given the Daoist Venerable’s Realm, they quickly understood the "Nine Heavens Supreme True Heart Scripture" completely, exclaiming that it was truly a miraculous skill.
Most other Dual Cultivation Techniques benefit one side only, unless the two have comparable Realms; otherwise, a slight mistake turns "combined cultivation" into "harvesting".
But the specialty of this technique lies in linking the participants’ Qi Flow, forming a whole, and then undergoing Circulation. In this state, Root Bone and insight stack, making strength irrelevant.
This is the so-called Ten Thousand Qi Flow, cultivating together.
However, this method also has its drawbacks: if someone becomes possessed, it affects others, hence blindly increasing numbers is inadvisable.
Chen Mo, maintaining his Dao state, stroked his chin, pondering, "From the current perspective, it’s best to limit the number to about ten, trying to choose cultivators with a firm Dao Heart. This way, the cultivation effect can be strengthened while minimizing risk."
"Ten people?!"
Ji Hongxiu’s face turned red with anger upon hearing this, grabbing Chen Mo’s ear, and chided, "You’re not eyeing our sect’s elders, are you? Do you intend to bring Xuan Ying and Elder Zhu over? I knew you had ulterior motives!"
"..."
Thinking of those gray-haired old Daoist nuns, Chen Mo shuddered, shaking his head, "You misunderstood. I was speaking ideally, not truly wanting ten people to cultivate together. Do I seem that desperate?"
"Hmph, I wager you wouldn’t dare!" Only then did Ji Hongxiu’s expression soften slightly.
Chen Mo glanced at her cautiously, "But we could consider letting Zhi’er join. Her cultivation technique originates from the same source as yours, should be quite beneficial, and she’s just short of reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, only needing a breakthrough opportunity—two birds with one stone."
"This..."
Ji Hongxiu hesitated, her ears faintly hot.
Though the three had experienced absurdity at Martial Saint Mountain before, it happened under unclear consciousness.
Now, in the sect, broad daylight, serving one husband with her disciple, was hard for her to accept.
"Perhaps wait until I’m mentally prepared." Ji Hongxiu said softly.
"That’s fine." Chen Mo didn’t press, nodding, "No time to lose, let’s continue cultivating."
"Okay." Ji Hongxiu responded, taking a deep breath, suppressing distractions, and started the cultivation technique.
Whoosh—
Two streams of Qi surged from the Dantian, gathering into a gigantic vortex above, with powerful traction, pool water rolled, even clouds in the sky torn into spiral-like wisps.
Simultaneously, a peach tree’s shadow and a golden arch appeared behind them.
Threads of light emanated from the arch, continuously merging into the peach tree.
Nourished by the Cause and Effect Dao Power, the yellowing leaves began to thrive anew, the trunk’s once distinct divisions blurred, petals’ colors transitioned to pink-white, indicating two Divine Souls’ fusion.
Ji Hongxiu was delighted!
Indeed, as Chen Mo said, with Cause and Effect Origin’s support, fusion speed greatly enhanced!
At this rate, within five days, the mind and Yin God consciousness would wholly merge!
But soon, problems emerged...
An hour later.
"Wait, rest for a bit..."
Ji Hongxiu’s hair was disheveled, breathing hurriedly, forehead glistening with sweat, snow-white skin blushing, feeling limp, crawling powerlessly at the bathtub’s edge.
Chen Mo was innately gifted, coupled with "Mixed Element Skill’s" third level tempering, reached an extreme level, overwhelmingly strong, and in such a state, maintaining Dao Heart Clarity was nigh impossible...
It was truly taxing!
Chen Mo frowned slightly, "Now we’ve only run a major Cycle, and you’re already exhausted? Moreover, Divine Soul fusion is delicate work, requiring complete focus, can’t afford even a slight error, you must stay alert."
Ji Hongxiu glared at him, irritated, "Easy for you to say! You’re pounding like you’re going to kill me, how can I focus?"
Chen Mo: "..."
Ji Hongxiu realized this approach was futile, pondering briefly, performed a spell, space twisted and shattered, forming a dark rift.
Then she reached in, pulling a figure out.
Splash—
Ling Ningzhi fell into the pool, Moon White Daoist Robe soaked, accidentally choking several times.
"Cough cough cough..."
After flailing, she stood, rubbing her eyes, stunned by the scene, "Master? Lord? You are..."
Ji Hongxiu’s expression was somewhat unnatural, feigning calm, "I’ve reached a critical moment in cultivation, summoning you to assist me entering the Dao."
Ling Ningzhi, still bewildered, "Master, how should I assist?"
Ji Hongxiu pointed at Chen Mo, "You will substitute me in Dual Cultivation with him."
Ling Ningzhi: ?
Ji Hongxiu had no choice.
To maintain Dao Heart Clarity, she had to find a proxy, linking three’s Qi Flow, allowing someone to do the work in her place, while still receiving Cause and Effect Dao Power’s support.
