Chapter 256: Chapter 160: Until the Seas Dry Up and the Rocks Decay, Until the Heavens Grow Old and the Earth Turns Ancient

"Your sect’s cultivation technique?"

Ji Xueruo frowned slightly, "Didn’t Lotus Sword Venerable create only the Lotus Swordsmanship? Although some have reached the Void Realm using the Profound Celestial Skill from the Refining Profound Sect, as far as I know, Profound Celestial Skill is distributed according to realms. You’re only at the Spirit Platform Realm; have you memorized the latter part?"

Every cultivation technique that can possibly reach the Void Realm is incredibly precious. Even the ’wealthy’ Refining Profound Sect isn’t willing to release it all at once, showing its rarity.

You Su showed a sheepish expression and whispered, "It’s the cultivation technique from that sect in Chuyun City..."

You Su’s description was extremely restrained. After battling at the edge of life and death several times, suddenly mentioning words like ’dual cultivation’ and ’pleasures’ would truly ruin the mood. It’s as if You Su came solely for Miss Ji’s body.

Ji Xueruo’s breath tightened, and she sneered, "You Su! Is your mind filled only with that?!"

You Su felt misunderstood. He joined this kind of sect from a young age, and besides swordsmanship, he was most adept at the path of dual cultivation. The Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Mandarin Duck Sword Sect’s skills and heritage cannot be separated from dual cultivation.

Faced with death, You Su didn’t care about the awkwardness. He straightened his chest and clarified:

"Miss Ji, I’m telling you the truth. Long ago, the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Mandarin Duck Sword Sect was a highly prosperous sect, acclaimed as the foremost sect under the Divine Mountain, surpassing many sects on the Divine Mountain itself. It declined due to changing perceptions, but you should know, the path of dual cultivation isn’t an evil path. I’m well-versed in my sect’s cultivation technique. I’m confident that my understanding will help us reach the threshold of the Void Realm!"

"Your understanding of the path of dual cultivation is high?" Ji Xueruo gave You Su a cutting look, brimming with killing intent.

You Su’s mouth twitched; it felt like he was introducing an innocent girlfriend, only to be questioned, ’Are you very experienced?’ at the moment of connection.

Seeing the importance of the matter, You Su decided to be candid:

"It’s the foundation of my sect’s cultivation technique, so of course, I studied it diligently." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Humph!" Ji Xueruo’s expression was indifferent, "You must be a hardworking and studious disciple, then!"

If you’re going to be shameless, you have to be thoroughly shameless. You Su nodded and said:

"My master praised me just like that; I didn’t expect Miss Ji to notice as well."

"Shameless!"

Ji Xueruo truly didn’t understand how this fool could admit, with such a straight and innocent face, that he cultivates this dual cultivation debauchery. Does he find it glorious?

"Please don’t hold common prejudice, Miss Ji. Regardless of the path taken, the dedication and perseverance shouldn’t be denied," You Su felt as if his body glowed with golden light, "Plus, with the ability to grant small wishes, our dual cultivation will be highly effective. So, I earnestly invite Miss Ji to join me in exploring the Dao."

At such moments, men seem to have a natural cunning. To get the ’ceremony’ to its final step, they use all sorts of reasons to coax the ’opponent’, even putting aside most of their usual pride.

Following the principle of yin and yang complementing each other, when emotions are pulled, if one side is reserved or shy, the other must shamelessly persist.

You Su’s strategy was evidently effective, as Ji Xueruo’s chest heaved, her expression still angry, but her eyes showed a hint of hesitation.

Honestly, although Ji Xueruo was the clan leader of the Snake Race, their heritage had long broken off. Reaching the middle Feather Transformation Realm was already the limit of their inheritance, so she really had no way to make herself stronger to reach half-step Void Realm.

This endless time was just a ceaseless cage for her; she could never defeat Yui Zhen at the cave’s end, nor could she escape this instant.

But You Su could help them defeat the strong Yui Zhen, just that his method was somewhat lowly...

To push towards the Void Realm from the Spirit Platform Realm using dual cultivation... how many times would dual cultivation need to occur?? Would that not all become...

Ji Xueruo held back the urge to curse, exhaled deeply, deciding to shelve the issue for now:

"You said Yui Zhen became Shenxi’s body, but why did his wish only get him Feather Realm Perfection? Why didn’t he dare wish for the Void Realm?"

"He couldn’t wish for the Void Realm."

You Su said firmly, because during the battle earlier, he recklessly wished for Lower Void Realm, and that overwhelming power felt utterly unreal, the backlash nearly killed him.

"Hmm." Ji Xueruo nodded, "Void Realm is truly the Immortal Realm. Unlike other realms, one must find your life object and comprehend the Dao to break through. This wish-powered land resembles a kind of empowerment, capable of elevating you to Feather Realm Perfection, but it cannot grant your own path. So the Dao-less Yui Zhen can only stay at a location just shy of the Void Realm."

The understanding of Dao in the Void Realm means Heavenly Dao acknowledges your existence and grants you special power. Every Void Realm individual has a unique ability, like Shenxi Venerable’s wind.

Ji Xueruo’s thoughts mirrored You Su’s quite well, as You Su confidently said:

"He merely gained early advantage, but unable to grow stronger, he will face two half-step Void practitioners, and he cannot win."

Ji Xueruo spat lightly:

"Presumptuous! Who said I would dual cultivate with you?!"

?

You Su looked quite innocent; he clearly didn’t even touch on those words.
