Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 238 Desire for Dual Cultivation

Blackwater Dock, with its deep, inky waters and towering, strangely shaped rocks, is a place where various degrees of demonic energy intertwine.

This place may seem dangerous, but a spiritual vein is hidden here. Later, when Crocodile Abyss achieved his Dao Foundation, he occupied this place, gathered his clan, and became a powerful demon clan force, which is now Blackwater Dock.

At this very moment, deep within Blackwater Dock, a small banquet is being held, with Crocodile Abyss celebrating Qinghua's victory.

"Qinghua, now that you've advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, what are your plans for the future?"

After downing the entire jar of wine in one gulp, Crocodile Abyss turned his gaze to the blue and white porcelain.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Qinghua's eyes.

"I'm interested in taking over the Aoki family. What do you think, Brother Crocodile?"

Her voice was hoarse, with a strange allure that made one itch; Lady Qinghua then revealed her thoughts.

Hearing this, Crocodile Abyss was not too surprised.

Now that Qinghua has advanced to the Dao Foundation stage, the foundation within the Five Immortals Mountain is somewhat insufficient. If she wants to continue moving forward, a spiritual vein is essential. In the entire south, there are only two spiritual veins that are publicly visible: one in Blackwater Dock and the other in the Qingmu family.

However, the spiritual vein in Blackwater Dock is only a small one. While it can barely support two Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time, it is ultimately not enough. If Qinghua wants to establish a true foundation, she must seize the spiritual vein of the Qingmu family.

"Although Old Ghost Qingmu has some tricks up his sleeve, he is only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. If you and I join forces, we have a good chance of winning. However, we must not alert him. If he insists on hiding, we may really have no way to deal with him."

"In addition, we must also consider the reactions of the other Dao Foundation forces in Nan Jing Kingdom. If they get involved, things will become more complicated."

With a deep and powerful voice, Crocodile Abyss expressed his opinion.

Having fought with the Aoki family for so many years, he naturally had some thoughts about them. Compared to this poor and desolate place, the four southern prefectures occupied by the Aoki family were undoubtedly much richer in resources.

Upon hearing this, Lady Qinghua nodded.

"What you say is absolutely right, so I plan to conceal the news of my breakthrough first, and then secretly incite the demons of Five Immortals Mountain to wreak havoc in the south, forcing the Qingmu family to take action."

"Of course, we will need your help in this process, Brother. We can't wreak havoc in the South with just the power of Five Immortals Mountain. When the time comes, as long as Old Ghost Qingmu comes out, you and I can join forces, set a trap, and catch him off guard. Even if we can't kill him on the spot, we can severely injure him."

Playing with the wine cup in her hand, Lady Qinghua already had a plan in mind.

Upon hearing this, Crocodile Abyss remained silent for a moment, carefully considering the feasibility of the plan.

"It's not that it's impossible, but that old ghost Aoki is cunning. He might not fall for such a trick."

"How about this, we'll work together from the inside and the outside. I'll be in the open, and you'll be in the dark. I'll incite the demon race to launch a large-scale beast tide to attack the four southern prefectures, while you stay hidden and incite the demon race of Five Immortals Mountain to launch a rebellion from within."

“The four southern prefectures have been in great turmoil in recent years, and many human cultivators have been lost. If we want to stop this riot, Old Ghost Qingmu has to take action himself. If he really senses something is wrong and refuses to take action no matter what, then you and I can plunder the resources of the four prefectures. It's not a loss in the end.”

After a moment's thought, Crocodile Abyss added to Lady Qinghua's original plan.

Upon hearing this, Lady Qinghua's eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother's insight is brilliant; I was thinking too simply."

Her voice was soft and charming as Lady Qinghua complimented Crocodile Abyss. Upon hearing this, Crocodile Abyss burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, little sister, I'll definitely help you seize that spiritual vein from the Aoki family. But about what you promised me before..."

The laughter subsided, and Crocodile Abyss turned his gaze to Lady Qinghua.

Hearing this, Lady Qinghua's expression remained unchanged.

"Don't worry, elder brother. I have already established my Dao foundation. I think it won't be long before I master that secret technique. When that time comes, I will cultivate with you and help you advance your cultivation even further."

With alluring eyes, Lady Qinghua made her stance clear.

Looking at the Blue and White Lady, Crocodile Abyss was quite satisfied. In his early years, he had obtained a dual cultivation secret technique, which was of extraordinary quality and could help his own cultivation. A large part of the reason why he opened up this three-hundred-mile Blackwater Dock, gathered his clan, and reproduced his offspring was because of this dual cultivation secret technique.

However, as he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, this secret technique became of little use to him. This was not because the technique itself was inadequate, but because he lacked a suitable Daoist partner. Only by cultivating with a Daoist partner at the Foundation Establishment level could his cultivation be enhanced.

Having remained at the early stage of Dao Foundation for so many years without being able to break through, he deeply felt the difficulty of Dao Foundation cultivation. If he relied solely on himself, barring unforeseen circumstances, he would most likely be unable to advance any further in his lifetime.

That's why he supported Qinghua Niangniang after she came to him, helping her to build her Dao foundation. You should know that he paid a considerable price to help Qinghua Niangniang build her Dao foundation.

"That's good. Cultivation is difficult. We should cultivate together, benefiting each other. This is the right path."

"If one day we both reach the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation, we will be invincible in the south, and even the Chen family will have to show us respect."

With his body held high, Crocodile Abyss spoke with boundless pride.

Upon hearing this, Lady Qinghua's face also revealed a look of longing, as if she could see the day when she broke through to the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation Realm.

As he took in this scene, a dark glint flashed in Crocodile Abyss's eyes.

After a long time, Qinghua Niangniang quietly left Blackwater Dock after finalizing a plan with Crocodile Abyss.

"Dual cultivation? It seems my older brother is really lusting after my body."

Under the cover of night, looking back at Blackwater Dock, the once beautiful face of Lady Qinghua was now devoid of any smile.

Although Crocodile Abyss deliberately concealed the secret technique of dual cultivation, she herself was an expert in this field, so how could she not see its mystery? That secret technique was less about dual cultivation and more about absorbing the essence of the body. The other party wanted to take away her foundation to replenish himself and make his cultivation advance further.

If everything goes smoothly, there might really be a chance to break through to the mid-stage of the Dao Foundation realm. You have to know that there are many hurdles in the Dao Foundation realm. The Dao Foundation is just the foundation. If you want to climb higher, you need to further expand your own Dao Foundation. Breaking through is extremely difficult.

Looking at the entire Southern Kingdom now, the vast majority of Dao Foundation cultivators are only at the early stage of Dao Foundation, and very few can break through to the middle stage.

“This Crocodile Abyss must have left me with some tricks, so I can’t turn against him for now. Besides, it’s not certain who will devour whom in the end.”

With a cold laugh, she withdrew her gaze, her body enveloped in azure energy, and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night.

The true qi of a Dao Foundation cultivator transforms into spiritual power, which can resonate with heaven and earth. Even without cultivating flight spells, one can use spiritual power to lift oneself up and fly through the air.
