Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

To the right of the main hall, the bronze door of a side hall slowly opened, revealing the scene inside to the three people.

In the dimly lit side hall, there were countless piles of ancient cultivators' bones.

"Look, this is the consequence of not being able to indulge in lust and achieve supreme harmony. If you are like this bunch of self-righteous fools, you will be trapped here forever until your lifespan is exhausted and you turn into a pile of bones."

The three people: "..."

Yu Luoning, caught in the middle, swallowed hard, feeling utterly bewildered in the wind.

This kind of inheritance is too unorthodox, isn't it?

If her comprehension is correct, this ancient ancestor meant that dual cultivation was necessary to remove the restrictions of the great formation.

Moreover, it's not just any ordinary dual cultivation; it has to be an earth-shattering, spectacular event.

Yu Luoning felt a sudden rush of light to her head.

She turned her head stiffly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Cui Xiu and Bai Rongling.

Yu Luoning took a deep breath, looked up at the woman in red, and asked, "May I ask, Ancestor, you just said that only within the great formation, when Yin and Yang are in harmony and the two polarities are at their peak, can the gate open and the inheritance manifest, right?"

Lianfei smiled gently, "Of course, I never speak recklessly."

Yu Luoning slapped her thigh excitedly and asked, "Are there any strict rules in the regulations that require it to be a dual cultivation between a man and a woman?"

"..."

On the throne, Lianfei fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

As a remnant soul, she wasn't actually that sure.

She hesitated, then said, "The Dao of Myriad Emotions evolves into Heaven and Earth, which are divided into two polarities, one hard and one soft... what else was there?"

"...Wait a minute, it seems there aren't strict rules about gender."

Yu Luoning blinked, tilted her head, and looked sincerely at Cui Xiu and Bai Rongling.

"You two big shots, did you hear that? Our ancestors said that male-male relationships are also acceptable. The situation is dire, so why don't you two just make do with this?"

Choi Soo: "..."

Bai Rongling: "..."

The air seemed to freeze into ice at that moment.

Yu Luoning didn't care at all.

She understood perfectly well that whether she went out or not, her life was in grave danger.

Don't be fooled by her usual lustful and impatient demeanor towards handsome men.

That's all because she wants to replicate; it's a motivating and rewarding business, or it's an intimate act necessary to foster a relationship.

As for now?

Neither of these two is a good person. Bai Rongling searched her soul, and Cui Xiu was tricked several times. She was filled with resentment and kept saying she wanted to kill her to vent her anger.

Even if she compromised and cultivated with anyone here, breaking the formation, would those two release her once she left this gate?

cut~

Since we're going to die anyway, why should we be their free agents to break the formation?

"To die beneath a peony is nothing compared to the romantic spirit of a ghost."

Now she is the peony, and those two are the dead men.

To have her engage in dual cultivation would be too good for them.

This is bullshit formation; let whoever wants to solve it do so.

"The Yin-Yang Creation Technique sounds like an unparalleled divine skill, but unfortunately, I am dull-witted. I will not compete with you two for this great opportunity. Please, pretend I am not here."

Another silence fell over the air.

Lianfei was so happy that her branches trembled with joy.

The expressions on the faces of the other two were quite interesting.

Cui Xiu's handsome face instantly became a palette of colors, turning red then black, black then purple, purple then blue.

Bai Rongling, who was standing to the side, trembled all over. Her beautiful face under the mask went blank for a moment, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Unfortunately, none of this had anything to do with Yu Luoning.

Whatever, so be it. It's better if I die, I can just start over with a new account.

"You two, time is running out, hurry up, or the Skull House next door will have to add another new member."

"Yu, Luo, Ning".

Cui Xiu practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

If looks could kill, she would have died hundreds or thousands of times over by now.

Yu Luoning glanced at him, showing no fear whatsoever.

Since she'd already given up, she thought, "What are you yelling for? You vixen, my ears are sharp enough. Anyway, I'm just a worthless Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if I get out of this formation today, neither of you will let me go. Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well stay here and perish together."

"You dare threaten me?" Cui Xiu laughed angrily, his eyes dark and gloomy.

Yu Luoning said, "It's not a threat. I just don't want you to have an easy time. If you want to kill me, then you can all die."

She crossed her arms and sneered repeatedly.

The air fell into a deathly stillness.

Bai Rongling's breathing was somewhat disordered, hidden beneath the mask. He looked at this lewd and wicked ghost with suspicion.

Unexpectedly, the other party had an extremely clear understanding and even knew how to manipulate the situation from the opposite perspective.

On the high platform, Lianfei, who was reclining on the throne, laughed out loud, her voice both alluring and wicked.

"Little ones, I've told you how to break the formation. Whether you do it or not is up to you. However, the great formation I set up won't be so easy to pass."

As soon as Lianfei finished speaking, the pink dust in the main hall suddenly became several times thicker.

Lying on the throne, Lianfei, whose beauty seemed otherworldly, had vanished like smoke.

At this moment, a surge of heat, like a wildfire, was relentlessly burning through Cui Xiu and Bai Rongling's dantian consciousness.

That was no ordinary worldly love potion, but a rule left behind by the resentment of the fallen patriarch of the Joyful Union Sect. Anyone who steps into this place, no matter how strong their cultivation, cannot escape the rule of lust.

While Bai Rongling and Cui Xiu were enveloped in extreme emptiness and lust, only Yu Luoning in the hall was refreshed and completely unaffected.

Bai Rongling clutched her chest, staring at her in a disheveled state. Her voice echoed in the hall, ethereal yet hoarse, "Why...why? Both he and I are like this, yet you show no unusual reaction whatsoever."

At that moment, Lianfei's voice rang out again in the empty hall.

"Who told you two greedy, unlucky bastards to plunge headfirst into my Creation Spring? The Creation Spring is divine water of creation, the purest law of life and reproduction in the world. It resonates naturally with the love poison of my Myriad Emotions Array. Water fuels fire, and the two combine. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to bow down."

As for this little girl, she didn't drink the Divine Water of Creation, so naturally she's not subject to this law's punishment.

Upon hearing this, a thin layer of ice formed in Bai Rongling's eyes.

Divine Water of Creation?

Drinking the water from the Yuling Spring would only seal one's cultivation level, wouldn't it? Why is this never recorded in ancient texts?

He recalled how confident he had been when he set up the scheme, and now, seeing his current predicament, a sense of absurdity rose in his throat.

It turns out that he brought all of this upon himself.

Originally intending to exploit Choi Soo's scheme, he ended up trapping himself in the trap as well.

At this moment, Cui Xiu also realized something.

He raised his hand, and light spots spread from his palm, slamming his palm through the air towards Bai Rongling.

Bai Rongling knelt on one knee and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Yu Luoning stood to the side, her eyes flickering.

It turns out that Bai Rongling was plotting against Cui Xiu, but ended up dragging herself into the mess as well.

That's interesting, extremely interesting.

Lianfei seemed to be losing patience, her ethereal voice echoing from above: "Only seven days left."

"You two noble souls who have drunk the Divine Water of Creation, now that you are within this great formation, do your part for the propagation of heaven and earth. Let me kindly remind you once more: each of the three entering the formation is crucial to breaking the deadlock. If even one of you is lost, the formation will become a dead end, and none of you will be able to escape."

Enraged, Cui Xiu changed the direction of his killing move, which he had been preparing to unleash on Bai Rongling again, and slammed it hard into the dome.

However, this force bounced back after hitting the barrier, causing Cui Xiu's internal organs to churn.

Moreover, the more he forced his spiritual power to circulate, the more frenzied the raging passion of the Creation Divine Water within his body became, driving him even more insane.

If this continues, none of the three will be able to escape.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Yu Luoning's mind.

As I said before, starting over with a new account involves too many uncertainties. She's not sure what to do, and she'd rather stay alive than risk her life.

The remnant soul said that if one person dies, the formation cannot be broken. So, wouldn't she, the weakest one, become the living father who can control these two?

The next second, Yu Luoning drew a long sword and, without the slightest hesitation, plunged it into her own chest.

There was no hysteria in her eyes, only extreme calmness.

Sure enough, just as the sharp blade was about to pierce flesh, at the critical moment, two large, well-defined hands gripped the blade tightly.

Fresh blood dripped from between their fingers and splattered onto the white jade bricks.

Yu Luoning looked at the two men on her left and right, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.
