From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 616 The Impact of Severing Cause and Effect: Heavenly Martial Treasury
After leaving the Feathered Heaven Palace, Li Chengqian did not return directly to Lanyue Peak, but instead turned around and went to Zidian Peak.

At the summit of Purple Lightning Peak, thunderclouds loomed, and lightning snaked across the sky, creating an atmosphere more solemn and vast than ever before. Fang Qingxue seemed to have sensed his arrival long ago, standing quietly before the hall, her white robes purer than snow, her demeanor aloof and ethereal. Yet, in her eyes as she looked at him, the usual icy chill had lessened, replaced by a subtle gentleness.

"Cousin," she called softly.

Li Chengqian stepped forward, naturally took her hand, and smiled, "It's been a few days, Qingxue, your aura has become even more refined. It seems that your understanding of the Cave Heaven Realm has deepened."

Fang Qingxue let him hold her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she did not pull away, only letting out a soft "hmm". Ever since the day they broke through and began dual cultivation, their spirits and bodies merging, and they jointly comprehended the Great Dao, their relationship had entered a mysterious and tacit state.

Based on the dual cultivation secrets of many worlds such as Journey to the West and Yang Shen, and with the supreme method of Taiyin Refining Form as the core, Li Chengqian deduced a unique dual cultivation method that is most suitable for the rules of this world and also most suitable for his and Fang Qingxue's origins.

This method is not about sexual intercourse, but rather about the mutual support and verification of Yin and Yang. The laws of the Great Dao collide, merge, and sublimate in the deep fusion of the two people's souls, magical power, and physical bodies, causing their cultivation, Dao attainment, and understanding of the Great Dao to improve at a speed far exceeding that of solitary arduous cultivation.

"Immortal Venerable Linglong was looking for me just now." Li Chengqian led Fang Qingxue into the quiet room, set up a restriction, and briefly explained how Immortal Venerable Linglong had borrowed the treasure and intended to raid the secret vault.

"Linglong Immortal Venerable?" Fang Qingxue raised an eyebrow. She knew that Li Chengqian had broken through to the Longevity Realm on Mount Sumeru in Linglong Blessed Land. Linglong Immortal Venerable had also taught him the Great Wish Technique and allowed him to use the endless wish power of Mount Sumeru to advance to the second level of Longevity, achieving immortality.

She didn't believe that the Celestial Venerable Linglong would be so kind.

Looking at Fang Qingxue's expression, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Linglong Immortal Venerable's identity is extremely noble, far more noble than any other being you know. This time, she reincarnated into the mortal world with a great mission on her shoulders. This mission involves the stability of the Immortal Realm's Gate of Eternal Life. However, she did not expect that I would also reincarnate here, disrupting her plans. She can only deal with it in advance."

"You too have been reincarnated here?!"

“You are the reincarnation of the Goddess of Lightning, so why can’t I be the reincarnation?” Li Chengqian laughed. “Before my reincarnation, I had some dealings with the Immortal Venerable Linglong. My boss and her boss were cooperating, so when I disrupted her plans, she didn’t blame me. Instead, she chose to cooperate with me to jointly monitor the Gate of Immortality.”

"Monitoring the Gate of Immortality?" Fang Qingxue's mind was already a bit confused. It was true that she was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Lightning, but the memories she had now were incomplete and fragmented. However, she also gleaned some unusual information from Li Chengqian's words.

The Gate to Immortality is the source of all supernatural powers and secret techniques, and could even be considered the source of this world. Monitoring the Gate to Immortality...

"The Gate of Immortality is the source of everything, including the trouble. This time, the Gate of Immortality unexpectedly trembled, and the Immortal Kings who were suppressed within gained more freedom, greatly increasing the variables. In the face of such variables, the so-called Great Calamity of the Gods is not worth mentioning at all, so her actions need to be accelerated."

Upon hearing this, a hint of shock flashed in Fang Qingxue's usually cold eyes...

The Gate of Immortality trembled, and the shackles of the Immortal King loosened... This is far too distant for cultivators who have not yet become immortals, isn't it?

Li Chengqian said, "Therefore, we must also speed up and seize every opportunity to improve our strength. I am determined to obtain the Heavenly Martial Treasury. Before entering the Heavenly Martial Treasury, we must further improve our strength to gain the upper hand."

He gazed intently at Fang Qingxue: "Before that, we need to reach our peak condition. That dual cultivation method seems to still have room for improvement..." Upon hearing this, Fang Qingxue's ears instantly flushed crimson. She gave him a reproachful glare, but her eyes held little resistance, instead carrying a hint of shy acquiescence. She knew this method would greatly benefit both of them, and at this crucial moment, there was no need for coyness.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, saying no more. With a wave of his hand, the quiet room was filled with Daoist energy, the clear light of the moon intertwining with chaotic lightning, slowly enveloping the two figures. A profound fusion of spirit and flesh, Dao and law, unfolded once more. Their auras resonated and slowly rose, their understanding of the laws of the grotto-heaven, and even higher levels of space, time, and creation, continued to deepen…

While Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue were in seclusion on Zidian Peak, cultivating their Dao foundation, the atmosphere on Tiandu Peak, another deputy sect leader's mountain of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, was heavy and murderous.

Hua Tiandu finally returned, his face grim. Although his injuries had mostly healed thanks to the medicine, the lingering resentment and a hint of unease deep in his eyes could not be hidden from those who were paying attention. His secret collusion with the Taiyi Sect and even the Divine Race made him feel as if he were walking a tightrope; one wrong step and he would be doomed. But now he had no way out. His resentment towards Li Chengqian, Fang Han, the Taiyi Sect, and even the entire Yuhua Sect drove him to continue.

After final discussions with Feng Baiyu and a group of Supreme Elders at the Golden Immortal Hall, the operation to open the Heavenly Martial Treasury officially commenced!
On this day, the bells of the Immortal Ascension Mountain rang out, and powerful auras soared into the sky from each peak.

Led by Hua Tiandu, and with the support of four Supreme Elders—Sun Xihua, Deng Ao, the Five Swords True Monarch, and the Green-Faced Venerable—along with several Vice Sect Leaders and Elders of the Longevity Secret Realm, they formed a formidable team.

Feng Baiyu personally escorted him to the mountain gate, his expression solemn: "Tiandu, this trip concerns the fate of the sect, so please be careful. I will personally cover your retreat with several Supreme Elders."

Hua Tiandu sneered inwardly upon hearing this, but outwardly replied respectfully, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, Tiandu will not fail in his mission!"

Without further hesitation, he activated the Great Desolate Ancient Furnace. This top-grade Dao artifact emitted a vast, ancient aura, protecting everyone. "Let's go!"

boom!
The void was torn apart, and led by Hua Tiandu, the Feathered Gate's large force rushed into the void turbulence, speeding towards the coordinates hidden in the Heavenly Martial Treasury.

Shortly after they left, the intertwined lunar radiance and chaotic lightning on Purple Lightning Peak slowly receded.

Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue walked out of the meditation room hand in hand. Their auras were restrained, but their eyes shone brightly, clearly indicating that they had gained a lot from this dual cultivation.

"They've set off," Fang Qingxue said coldly, sensing the fluctuations in the void.

"Hmm." Li Chengqian's lips curled into a knowing smile. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Let them scout ahead and clear the way for us. We should set off now."

With a thought, he communicated with the Emperor's Brush deep within Lanyue Peak: "Senior, we wish to go to the Heavenly Martial Treasury. We entrust the safety of the peak to you for now."

The Emperor's Brush sent a message, carrying a hint of arrogance: "Go with peace of mind. With me here, unless the Creation Artifact arrives in person, no one can disturb the tranquility of this peak."

Li Chengqian felt relieved and exchanged a glance with Fang Qingxue. The two of them transformed into streams of light and silently merged into the void, heading towards the spacetime tide. He knew that the Heavenly Martial Treasury was hidden in the spacetime tide between the Immortal Realm and the Xuanhuang Great World.
