At this moment, the temperature in the room had dropped significantly.
The air was filled with a bone-chilling cold.
The most extreme manifestation, however, was around Tai Lingxuan; her clothes were now frozen stiff, and a thick layer of frost had condensed upon her skin.
That chill even contained an erosive power.
This was the Extreme Yin power produced by the He Huan Art.
Was the promotion too fast?
Within Tai Lingxuan’s body, an imbalance between Yin and Yang had appeared once again.
This originated from the current flaws in the He Huan Art, something that even Chen Yuyang had no way of preventing.
However, he had a way to help Tai Lingxuan suppress and harmonize it.
Chen Yuyang immediately sat down cross-legged in front of Tai Lingxuan.
The Tai Chu Art began to circulate.
The scorching Tai Chu Fire within the youth’s body then surged out, crossing into Tai Lingxuan’s body through Chen Yuyang’s raised palm.
The Extreme Yin power surging within Tai Lingxuan was exceptionally overbearing, and as her comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth grew, it increased manifold.
The moment Chen Yuyang made contact, the frost began to spread along his fingers.
It was a piercing pain.
That Extreme Yin power flowed into his body, battering his frame and internal organs.
Veins bulged on Chen Yuyang’s forehead, his teeth were clenched tight, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his brow, but that sweat was instantly frozen into frost.
The clothes on the youth’s body were covered with a layer of white frost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin also began to turn a purplish-blue color.
“Such strong Extreme Yin power…”
Chen Yuyang thought to himself, not daring to be the least bit careless.
He not only circulated the Tai Chu Art, calling upon the Tai Chu Fire to neutralize that Extreme Yin power, but also mobilized the Laws of Heaven and Earth he had comprehended, integrating them into his spiritual sense to probe into Tai Lingxuan’s body, guiding that almost violent and sinister power within her.
At the same time, he helped her comb through and merge that vast power of laws, pushing against her current realm.
Several hours passed.
Gradually, the cold air on Tai Lingxuan’s body dissipated.
The ice and frost in the room also began to melt away.
“Phew—”
Suddenly, Tai Lingxuan opened her eyes.
At this moment, her eyes were tinged with flecks of golden light, and the surface of her body also bore mysterious, fine golden patterns.
That was a sign of her merging with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Once the fusion with the Laws of Heaven and Earth reached Great Completion, and after one had comprehended a complete set of laws belonging to oneself, then through the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, one could forge a Golden Body and become a True Immortal.
Of course, now that the path to ascension was severed, forging a Golden Body still could not shed the mortal aura, so it could only be called a Half-step True Immortal.
It was also at the instant Tai Lingxuan opened her eyes.
The world changed color.
Vast winds and clouds gathered, and rolling heavenly thunder condensed.
A spiritual energy vortex formed once again, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy between this heaven and earth, to the point that it almost formed a vacuum zone of spiritual energy.
In the sky, that heavenly thunder only condensed but did not actually fall.
After circling above the firmament for a short while, as Tai Lingxuan’s realm stabilized at the eighth stage of the Integration Realm, it dissipated once more.
Meanwhile, within the courtyard where Long Zhizheng of the Pill Sect was resting.
“What?!”
Long Zhizheng snapped his eyes open, a flash of shock passing through them; sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathering toward Spirit Medicine City, his spiritual sense immediately crossed dozens of miles to cover the entire city.
Upon realizing who had caused this phenomenon, his face instantly became extremely unsightly.
Long Zhizheng stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief: “How could she break through so quickly? She only just broke through to the seventh stage of the Integration Realm a few days ago; how much time has passed since then?”
“Could she truly be as that brat said, having accumulated a lot over time before breaking out? But even if that’s the case, this breakthrough speed is simply too terrifying!”
Thinking of this, a hint of greed and gloominess could not help but surface in Long Zhizheng’s eyes.
“With such talent, if she could be used as material to refine a ‘God Puppet,’ my path of puppetry would surely take another step forward!”
“Cultivating step by step, Great Perfection, Great Perfection… when will I truly reach Great Completion?”
“But that fellow Yan Dangmo actually wants to protect the He Huan Sect… this makes things difficult… I must find an excuse, a justifiable reason that even Yan Dangmo can’t say anything about, but one that allows me to take action against her!”
On the other hand.
Yan Dangmo looked at the storage ring that had been returned to his hand, lost in thought.
“He refused?”
“One hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, and he just refused like that? If I remember correctly, the He Huan Sect is very poor… but that kid didn’t hesitate at all.”
“Not bad, not bad, not bad at all…”
“If that kid’s talent were a bit better, maybe…”
Yan Dangmo whispered to himself.
Although they had only met once, that kind of reaction and those actions were very much to his liking, making him appreciate the youth greatly.
Just then, Yan Dangmo also sensed the unnatural fluctuations of spiritual energy in Spirit Medicine City.
“No way.”
Muttering to himself in surprise, Yan Dangmo also spread his spiritual sense to investigate.
Following that, the expression on his face became particularly colorful.
“Impressive! As expected of the peerless genius who was once ranked second on the North Region Prodigy Ranking.”
“I thought what Luobo said about the materialization of laws was a bit exaggerated, but looking at it now… that was actually conservative.”
“She truly has accumulated much to break out like this.”
“At this rate… could it be that the North Region cultivation world is about to produce a Great Perfection stage cultivator under a hundred years old?”
“If that’s really the case, that kid is truly an excellent candidate to marry into the family.”
“I just don’t know if that girl Luobo will look down on his background.”
Yan Dangmo’s mind could not help but become active.
After a while, the phenomenon disappeared.
The chains of the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the room also dissipated.
Tai Lingxuan only then fully regained consciousness; she restrained her spiritual energy and aura, the golden patterns on her body vanished accordingly, and she exhaled a mouthful of warm air.
Phew…
This feeling of fulfillment.
Tai Lingxuan thought with satisfaction, her gaze falling forward.
With one look, Tai Lingxuan’s expression changed.
She saw Chen Yuyang with his eyes closed, his skin a purplish-blue.
And his aura appeared much weaker than usual.
“Yuyang!”
Crying out, Tai Lingxuan immediately reached out to pull the youth into her arms.
The embrace was incredibly cold.
Without needing to think, she knew that Yuyang must have been harmonizing the Yin and Yang within her body, but was in turn injured by her Extreme Yin power.
“Yuyang, why are you so silly… why push yourself so hard…”
Tai Lingxuan held the youth tightly in her arms, pressing her body close to his freezing frame, while simultaneously injecting pure spiritual energy into the youth’s body to restore his injuries and vitality.
Chen Yuyang’s spiritual energy consumption was currently too great, and he had long since fallen into a deep coma.
Feeling a hint of warmth unconsciously, he instinctively leaned toward that warm place, which was Tai Lingxuan’s embrace, and a slight snoring sound came from his mouth.
Tai Lingxuan held Chen Yuyang, and sensing that he was recovering, her heart settled slightly.
And at this time, she finally noticed that numerous spiritual senses were probing from outside the room, clearly attracted by the commotion during her breakthrough.
Tai Lingxuan’s eyes turned cold, and her spiritual sense suddenly swept out like a tidal wave, carrying a domineering pressure that brooked no opposition, instantly and fiercely knocking back those prying spiritual senses.
Those spiritual senses felt that Tai Lingxuan seemed to be in a very bad mood and did not dare to offend her further, retreating one after another.
“Humph, a bunch of bastards, could it be they are still doubting this Venerable?”
Tai Lingxuan snorted coldly, a flash of anger in her eyes.
But soon, this emotion was replaced by concern for Chen Yuyang.
She carefully picked up Chen Yuyang and gently placed him on the bed nearby.
Subsequently, she removed the clothes on her body that had become wet because the frost had melted, piece by piece, revealing the fair, plump, and maturely charming body underneath.
Tai Lingxuan, naked, held the youth as they both crawled under the covers, then she tightly embraced the almost frozen Chen Yuyang in her arms, using her burning skin to press against his cold body.
The softness of her chest pressed tightly against him, and her long legs were also wrapped around the youth’s waist and hips, using the heat of her entire body to warm him.
“Yuyang, it is Master who owes you…”
Tai Lingxuan whispered softly in the youth’s ear, her voice full of heartache and love.
Chen Yuyang had not had this kind of experience of exhausting his spiritual energy for a long time.
The formidable foundation brought by the tempering of his soul through a hundred lifetimes allowed his spiritual energy limit to far exceed that of cultivators in the same realm by several or even dozens of times.
But this time, he was truly squeezed dry.
Chen Yuyang slowly opened his eyes.
What greeted his sight was an exquisite sleeping face close at hand.
Tai Lingxuan was lying on her side holding him, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, with a hint of a satisfied smile on her lips, sleeping very soundly.
Her skin glowed with a moist luster in the darkness, and although the golden law patterns on her body had faded, a trace of mysterious aura still lingered around her.
Looking at the woman, Chen Yuyang’s heart could not help but stir.
So beautiful…
He had seen countless beauties, and many were on par with Tai Lingxuan.
But she was the first one who could make his heart ripple like this.
Chen Yuyang felt the softness and warmth brought by the woman’s physical contact; feeling the desire and impulse within his body showing signs of intensifying, he immediately prepared to get up.
However, Tai Lingxuan’s arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, and her legs were also draped over his abdomen.
Unless he woke her up, he could not get up.
And Chen Yuyang felt the soreness all over his body; after thinking about it, he gave up.
Forget it, whatever happens, happens.
However, he still could not help but feel emotional.
Had he unknowingly reached the point of sharing a bed with his Master?
Speaking of which, Master’s realm…
Chen Yuyang calmed his mind and carefully sensed Tai Lingxuan’s aura.
Although her realm was ostensibly only the eighth stage of the Integration Realm, Chen Yuyang could clearly perceive that her comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth had long since exceeded the level this realm should have, even faintly touching the threshold of a higher level.
With her own excellent talent, the assistance of the Extreme Disk, the state of sudden enlightenment, plus the Myriad Phenomenon Heavenly Harmony Incense, added to his help in guiding and combing through the laws, and further added to his use of the Tai Chu Fire to help her harmonize Yin and Yang… having such growth was actually justifiable.
Next, even without dual cultivating with him or relying on the Extreme Disk, Master would likely naturally reach the Great Circle of the ninth stage of the Integration Realm very soon.
Chen Yuyang understood this in his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for when Tai Lingxuan could break through to the Great Perfection stage, it would depend on when she could comprehend her own laws.
On this point, all Chen Yuyang could do to help was the small world available for reference within the Extreme Disk.
