Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 59: The Real Dual Cultivation

In the continuing days leading up to the Ye Family Grand Banquet, he recuperated from his internal injuries. Making a good recovery. His fast recovery speed was due to the fact that he asked Yu Huan to concoct some pills with the ingredients he bought.

He did not spar but still gave some pointers to Ye Ling, and made his regular lectures to Hua Ziyan. He did not let Bi Rui go without attention either as he continued to oversee her training.

There were no signs of Bahshi Assassination Group’s people attacking him at this time, as he was not sensing any unusual movement around. This mystified him, but he could not investigate so he just continued on.

He used some time to comprehend his main technique, the Dual Extemes Infinite Union Art, which was incredibly profound and powerful, but he did not uncover all of its secrets yet, since he did not get to cultivate it in his last life. He knew it was incredibly powerful, but he only memorized it without actually comprehending it all, only enough to start cultivating it.

The technique had 9 layers, which was a trivial number compared to the 108 layers of the Spirit Qi War Art but the number of layers of a technique did not affect how powerful they were. Some of the most powerful techniques had only 3 layers, while some extremely weak ones had hundreds. The layers of the technique only referred to how deeply one understood the technique and how much of its potential one could use. As long as one layer was comprehended, the technique could be utilized.

He was currently on the first level of the technique, which optimized his body for dual cultivation by making his bodily odor and fluids enjoyable for his partners. His Yang Qi also was improving qualitatively, even without his additional efforts with various techniques and the Golden Yang Dragon Body, though it did not mean his other efforts were in vain as the effect accumulated, not canceling each other.

Layers of techniques, unlike cultivation base, had nothing to do with the natural talent of the body but had everything to do with comprehension. While Wu Long’s natural talent for cultivation was extremely poor, enough to be called dismal, his comprehension could rank among the best of the best in all of the Seven Boundless Worlds. Of course, he got to that level gradually, but he still had a high natural affinity with comprehension.

He also was pondering on the cultivation progression Ye Ling could take. If he was completely honest with himself, he really wanted her to start cultivating Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art, since it was bound to take her to great heights. It was a technique that could be used by both male and female users. But he was worried about the level of the technique being too high in difficulty since he was not yet sure about comprehending it himself. And while he was willing to gamble with his own future, he was more careful with hers. The first layer was actually quite easy to comprehend and cultivate, but going further was still unknown.

He indeed took a gamble when he took it as his main cultivation technique since he was not yet sure if he could comprehend the higher levels of the technique, but it was his intuition to do so. It is not like he would be unable to cultivate to the pinnacle of the cultivation realms with only one layer of the technique, it was just slightly pointless since he would not be able to utilize all the benefits of the technique except for the first level, in which case it would have been better to cultivate a less powerful technique which benefits he could completely utilize by comprehending all of the layers. He had already led one life where his entire main cultivation technique was far worse than this first level of this technique so he had confidence in getting to the peak with this one level if it came to it.

From these considerations, it could potentially be better for Ye Ling to let her use a different cultivation technique that she could utilize completely.

But when he was comprehending the technique, he had a moment of enlightenment. Since the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art was a dual cultivation technique, it could very well be the case that one would only be able to comprehend its higher layers if a man and a woman were to cultivate it together. Thus if she cultivated it, both he and she would be able to receive the maximum benefits of this incredibly profound and powerful technique.

He decided that since his intuition led him to his peak at crucial moments of his past life, he had to listen to it in this one as well. The one time he did not listen to his intuition ultimately led him to his near demise in that collapsing minor world after all.

On one of these days, Wu Long went on a date with Ye Ling, and they just played around and spent romantic time in the city, enjoying this late autumn capital and making sweet talk.

They did not go to any fancy restaurants, instead buying street food from the stalls and tasting a bite each from the same portion. There was an intimate atmosphere when they walked, and they seemed to be separated by a film conjured by their consciousness and connection from the crowd. The surroundings, though, were looking at them with wide eyes as such a beautiful couple instantly became a sensation wherever they went.

In a corner of the street, a little girl around 5 years old holding candy from the street stall was looking at a beautiful couple. 𝘰𝑣𝘭.𝗇𝓔t

If one were to be following this girl around, one would be able to see her around the town looking at a certain handsome man with great interest, and her eyes were studying something.

A look of excitement would sometimes appear on her face, but other times her face was completely tranquil.

But that was all possible to see only if one were able to see her, as her existence was a little blurry, making it not clear if she was there or not. If it was raining the rain would avoid her by itself, and if it was windy the wind would make an arc to go around. The falling leaves, the dust, all of it did not tarnish her clothes as if not daring to.

Right now there was a look of both excitement and vexation on her face, as she stood there with her eyes that seemed to be able to pierce into anything.

At the end of the date, he led Ye Ling to her room and after activating all security formations passed on to her the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art with the mnemonic and chant. He did not leave it in writing to eliminate any risk factors. After all, he did not risk his life in obtaining this technique in his previous life just to gift it to someone unrelated to him, as he was, as far as he knew, the sole person who knew this technique before this moment.

As Ye Ling took time to comprehend the first layer, he left her to meditate on it and left her room. It was only on the day before the banquet that she approached him after leaving seclusion.

“Wu Long, I have succeeded in comprehending the technique, but… I only got through the first layer. It is incredibly profound and I am not sure if I will be able to advance through further layers”

She said to him, while slightly blushing.

“It is great, do not be discouraged, I am also on the first layer of the technique. You will also use it as an auxiliary technique anyway. I just need to adjust your main technique as we go further. When you reach the peak of Nine Mortal Realms we can switch your main technique for a better one” he replied with a smile.

Ye Ling was mystified by his words as he talked as if it was a foregone conclusion that she would reach the peak of Nine Mortal Realms, and, judging by his words go even higher despite the fact that the realms higher than Nine Mortal Realms were a thing of myths and legends.

But she just smiled gently as she did not question his determination. There was an indescribable feeling that he would achieve whatever he said he would achieve, and that nothing was impossible when she was with him.

“Ling’er, do you know how people who use the same dual cultivation technique or techniques complementary to each other cultivate?”

He asked her, looking into her eyes to which she slightly blushed and nodded.

“The cultivation occurs during the act, and not after, since the techniques resonate with each other while practitioners connect their bodies”

She replied as a diligent member of a dual cultivation sect.

The cultivation Wu Long was doing until now that occurred after the act and the Yin and Yang Qi were released into the surroundings was actually not real dual cultivation, but a secondary cultivation that was quite wasteful, since his dual cultivation technique did not match with the technique of Ye Ling, and Sui Luxiao and Bi Rui did not even use any dual cultivation techniques.

But if they used the same technique, their cultivation would occur in the act and would be much more effective since there would be direct interaction and resonance between their Yin and Yang.

“You are already in the Revolving Qi realm so you can just let your Spiritual Qi Soul in the Niwan Palace do the chant and cultivate, while you can focus on the pleasure”, he said to her while gently touching and caressing her cheek.

She nodded but looked somewhat reluctant since he did not have such luxury and will have to partially focus on cultivating from now on while she would be reeling in pleasure.

In Qi Manifestation Realm, apart from condensing the root of longevity, the practitioner would condense a Soul Sea and would be able to conjure a Spiritual Qi Soul from it. In truth, even mortals had a Soul Sea in their Niwan Palace, since that was where their memories were, and that constituted their personality. But the difference was that the Soul Sea of a cultivator above the Qi Manifestation Realm would have a layer of Soul Power above the Soul Sea, that was not only protecting it but was also available for manipulation and cultivation.

There was even a separate branch of cultivators who focused on Soul Cultivation and used illusions, mind attacks, and other intangible attacks that could be very powerful and deadly. They would usually have weaker physiques though, similar to Spiritual Arts users like Hua Ziyan.

Conjuring a Spiritual Qi Soul meant creating an avatar of the practitioner that could make chants and seals for the practitioner while the main body could focus on something else like fighting and dual cultivating. Though Spiritual Qi Soul could not cultivate while the practitioner was not, since cultivation required the connection of body, energy, and soul. Dual cultivation was a little special in this aspect as it allowed for cultivation with Spiritual Qi Soul while the body and mind were focused on the sexual act.

In truth, Wu Long already had an incredible Soul Power layered upon his Soul Sea and would be able to conjure an incredibly powerful Spiritual Qi Soul, he was just not yet able to fully utilize it until he reached Qi Manifestation Realm. So for now he would have to focus part of his consciousness on the scripture of his cultivation technique while pleasuring her. But he did not mind foregoing his own pleasure for some time until he was able to cultivate with her using Spiritual Qi Soul.

As they went into her room, he went into the bathroom to wash his hands and she started taking off jewelry and accessories.
