Da Xuan Martial Saint

Atop the carriage, warmth filled the curtained chamber, mist hovering in the air.

Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu sat facing each other, foreheads touching, their gentle breaths mingling and flowing as one, like the endless rotation of Yin and Yang.

It must be said that the Dual Cultivation Technique Hua Nongying had passed on to him was no sham; it truly derived from the Dao of Yin Yang Rotation. Even though Xu Hongyu had yet to reach the Five Viscera Realm, the merging of her Inner Breath with his, through the rotation of Yin and Yang, brought him a slight improvement. Nonetheless, the enhancement was much less compared to the benefits on Xu Hongyu's end.

Rather than the promotion of Qi-Blood, what Chen Mu valued more was the 'Yin Yang' characteristic inherent in this Dual Cultivation Method. The Qiankun Artistic Conception encompassed all things, capable of evolving Yin and Yang as well. In fact, a significant part of the essence of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal technique was derived from the perpetual cycle of Yin Yang Mutual Generation.

For Chen Mu, exploring Yin and Yang between man and woman was also an insight—a tangible gain reflected on the system panel in the form of experience points.

The carriage traveled along the official road, jolting up and down, causing a slight disturbance inside the cabin.

As Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu's Inner Breaths merged, he felt her bodily Qi-Blood become more Solidifyingly Refined through the stimulation of the Yin Yang Rotation, until sweat beaded her forehead, and spirals of white mist rose from her body, the skin beneath shining like jade with tints of deep red. He eventually gently caressed her back and said,

"Let's stop here."

Although Xu Hongyu was at the Perfection of Bone Tempering Realm, the current practice was not purely of lust but based on lust, guided by Yin and Yang to temper Qi-Blood. There was no loss of energy essence between them, only enhancement. Under such circumstances, Xu Hongyu's tolerance wasn't as strong, barely lasting about half an hour.

Little Lotus was even less enduring, barely managing a quarter of an hour.

Of course, because her realm was lower, the effect of the merging Inner Breaths was actually better for her than for Xu Hongyu. If not for the fact that they were currently en route to the State Government Office, Little Lotus felt she might even be ready to start the cultivation for entering the Bone Tempering Realm.

Xu Hongyu breathed lightly, having ceased the operation of the Cultivation Technique, she regained some vitality. Drops of scented sweat on her body, under the guidance of her will, silently collected and flowed away through the crevices in the carriage.

"Husband... did you gain any benefit?"

Her pretty face still flushed with a faint red, she looked at Chen Mu with clear eyes.

Her own cultivation was too weak, unable to accompany Chen Mu in cultivation to the end, unable to bear it after only half an hour. If she were at the Five Viscera Realm or even the Six Viscera Realm, the benefit to Chen Mu's cultivation would definitely be much greater. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

"With moderation comes progress."

Chen Mu looked at Xu Hongyu and smiled warmly as he replied, simultaneously summoning the system panel to check.

[Martial Art: Qiankun Artistic Conception (Step Two)]

[Experience: 3327 Points]

...

[Six Viscera Sutra (33%)]

[Experience: 0 Points]

The Artistic Conception had a slight gain in experience points. From his return to Yu City to now on his way to the State Government Office, over ten days, nearly a thousand and more points of experience had been accumulated, including his battle with Situ Shu, the insights from the Winter Domain, etc., which was not insignificant. It was more fruitful than solitary contemplation over the Artistic Conception Map.

Then there was the cultivation of 'Six Viscera Sutra.'

At the Six Viscera Realm stage, unlike the Tendon Changing and Bone Tempering phase with its various practice methods, there was only one unified 'Six Viscera Sutra' that everyone practiced. From his breakthrough to the Six Viscera Realm until now, after several months, the refinement of the Six Viscera had slightly progressed from 30% to 33%.

Although it was a small increase, it was a steady improvement for Chen Mu. Unlike many old protectors at the Six Viscera Realm, he was not at a point where he could hardly advance. His cultivation could be said to improve daily.

What he cared about was just the speed of improvement.

"Based on my 3% progress, if I can refine the Six Viscera Realm to 60%, my Yuan Gang True Essence will then be enhanced by 'ten parts,' and if refined to 90%, I fear that just by the Yuan Gang True Essence alone, I could possess nearly 'forty parts' of might."

Chen Mu contemplated while looking at the system panel.

This kind of stride in the enhancement of Yuan Gang Force was actually terrifying. If he could now have forty parts of Yuan Gang might, then in his previous fight against Situ Shu, even if the opponent displayed his Domain to its most powerful and intricate, it would've been just a hand-wave, smashing the opponent on the spot due to the sheer disparity in power, for when the difference reaches a certain level, skill becomes irrelevant.

Only within a certain limited difference do techniques and skill become crucial.

With a gap as broad as between him and Fu Jingyuan, a Grandmaster, it was all-encompassing: lacking the skilled use of Domains, without a Perfected Martial Body, and even the Heaven and Earth's Might he could muster fell short, naturally leaving him no match for the opponent.

"Currently, whether it's the Martial Arts Domain or the Marrow Cleansing Mysterious Pass, I am far from reaching them, and both areas cannot be overcome in a short time. If I want to stand against a Grandmaster, I can only rely on 'quantity' as my advantage."

The Domain was the pinnacle of 'External Techniques,' and the Martial Body was the peak of 'Internal Technique.' Since he couldn't hold either advantage in the short term, he was destined to always have a certain gap in power concentration when facing a Grandmaster. This gap could only be narrowed by practicing Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal and Falling Flowers without Trace, yet it was hard to close the gap completely.

But he had his own advantage—his Yuan Gang True Essence was far stronger than that of ordinary people!
