My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

'Because of ethical concerns, I cannot address her that way... I cannot think that way...'

'But what else can express this gratitude... this love that she gave me, something more precious than bone and flesh...?'

"Hmm...I'm so envious..." Xiao Zui wiped her eyes beside her.

While expressing envy, the slight sour feeling seemed to vanish completely.

'I can't be her... but I can forge a different kind of bond with him,' Xiao Zui thought.

For Lin Ye, the momentary tremor was only fleeting.

Because gratitude for those who give us strength is not a fleeting feeling, but something that is always in our hearts.

The pride of being the pioneer of the Lesser Golden Elixir Method does not conflict with my gratitude to my Master for giving me this path.

Even if they become two hearts, the pride and love that a cultivator feels remains unshaken.

'I am not a native of this world. My true maturity as a cultivator comes from many experiences... If there is one moment that best symbolizes my progress, it is this moment.'

'To feel pride in two things at the same time... how lucky I am.'

After announcing his upcoming seclusion and receiving blessings from his fellow Daoists, Lin Ye, though aware of the hardship ahead, closed his eyes with a light heart and began to absorb high-level spiritual energy.

The top-grade spirit stones around him began to shatter one by one.

.......

Two months later.

In a dream.

The little emperor tiptoed and kissed Lin Ling's cheek, saying, "You should also go and meet your other Daoist partners!"

"The balance of this family depends on you... I'm glad Lin'er came to keep me company."

Seeing the bright smile on his master's face, Lin Ye quickly nodded.

"I will do my best, Master!"

—Thank goodness I have the ability to enter dreams!

While in seclusion, he will not neglect to maintain his relationship with his Daoist partners.

Lin Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while also expressing his apologies to Xiao Zui in his heart. Because he needed to enter a dream state and absorb high-level spiritual energy at the same time, it was difficult for Lin Ye to have a conversation with Xiao Zui.

If I weren't cultivating in my dreams, I could perfectly distract myself and chat, since I'm very afraid of being alone.

Lin Ye opened her eyes.

As I entered the dream, some of the top-grade spirit stones in the cave shattered with a "crackling" sound.

"Baby, are you snapping out of it? Feeling good!"

Xiao Zui was also helping Lin Ye absorb high-level spiritual energy. She didn't seem disappointed at all. She was sitting cross-legged opposite him, greeting him with great enthusiasm.

brush brush...

Xiao Zui slowly dragged the prayer mat to Lin Ye's side, causing Lin Ye to cough lightly. Instantly, Lin Ye thought of Kong Yiji... which contrasted sharply with Xiao Zui's bright smile.

"Hehe...Baby, can I hear something from you?"

Lin Ye blinked: "Little Zui, what's up?"

"Because you're dreaming, I'll wait for you here... In the meantime, another version of myself came by!"

As Xiao Zui spoke softly, she rubbed her cheek against his chest with a sweet smile.

"That guy was disappointed that you weren't awake."

“I know what she’s imagining without even asking, after all, we’re the same person.”

"Just thinking about being able to stay by your side makes me... so happy, so happy, really... hehe, hehehehe..."

Xiao Zui gave a silly smile, and Lin Ye swallowed hard.

Although I always feel a little sorry for my master from the era of the Giant God, my proud master... so cute!

"Hmm..." Xiao Zui suddenly murmured.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Lin Ye embraced her soft body tightly.

"Mmm... mmm... you're holding me so tight, it feels like you're trying to meld me into your body... but I'm already inside you~"

"Holding me so tight...it's making me uncomfortable~" Xiao Zui patted Lin Ye's back, her cheeks turning slightly red.

"It's all because Master is just too cute!"

"Mmm... Every time you call me Master, I always feel like I'm cheating on you..." Xiao Zui said guiltily.

Lin Ye shook his head: "I can't!"

"My feelings for each and every teacher are completely sincere..."

"You have too many masters!" Xiao Zui sighed softly, then looked up at Lin Ye.

"Is it just a hug?"

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

"He's still breaking through?"

"Hey... doesn't baby want to...?"

"I also think that if we really enter a period of frequent errors, we will probably have a hard time controlling the spiritual energy."

A blush crept across Xiao Zui's cheeks. "Then... let's do it now..."

"Although being with me doesn't count as dual cultivation... Mmm~ Chu!"

Lin Ye's kiss was fleeting, and he laughed, "It's not bad to do it yourself once in a while."

"If you come with me, it won't count as coming alone... You're bullying me~" Xiao Zui punched Lin Ye's chest, her eyes were wet, and then, their lips naturally met.

In the center of the shimmering Spirit Gathering Array, the two rolled and fell to the ground.

Xiao Zui's heart raced as she looked at Lin Ye on top of her, "My body and soul already belong to you..."

"Yes...that's right, me too!"

"Ugh...you're just trying to coax me..." Little Zui, held tightly in his arms, let out hot breaths and sweet moans.

"Ouch...baby, it's so hot here..."

.......

Spring passes and autumn comes.

The Covenant, on the other hand, is in a stable position.

On the other hand, during the Dark Ages, blood mist began to spread across the four continents, causing countless cultivators to tremble with fear.

Lin Ye remained calm and continued his seclusion, carefully sensing the high-level spiritual energy.

The body's precision was indeed declining, but the high-level spiritual energy also rejuvenated the internal environment.

To outsiders, with the strongest cultivator in the world and Lin Ye, who possesses the Star of Discipline, protecting it, the safety of the palace is beyond question.

Before we knew it, three years had passed.

Thanks to his dream-entering ability, even during seclusion, Lin Ye's experience accumulation was not hindered. However, he still needed to meditate on his own or ask Xiao Zui for help with his cultivation.

Indoor retreat.

The light around Lin Ye flickered erratically, and the top-grade spirit stones placed on the Spirit Gathering Array began to crack in pieces.

Click, click, click...

In an instant, the last two hundred-odd top-grade spirit stones shattered!

Today, Lin Ye finally drained the high-grade spiritual energy from the 36,000 top-grade spirit stones and injected it into his body to replace the spiritual energy that had been circulating within his body for a long time!

The spiritual energy within a cultivator's body is constantly being renewed and replaced.

However, spiritual energy combined with spiritual roots and bloodline power is different, so it can be used to store high-level spiritual energy for a long time.

Today, with his cultivation fully accumulated, Lin Ye naturally decided to break through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

As he selected the [Blood Calamity Demon Golden Core] as his target for Nascent Soul formation, an endless storm began to rise within the vast ocean of spiritual energy within the Golden Core.

suddenly!

Lin Ye's expression changed slightly. He clutched his dantian, feeling as if ants were gnawing at his body, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

'cough...'

After high-level spiritual energy enters the body, the perception of the outside world becomes blurred, and the precision of control also decreases significantly!

Although the debuffs are temporary, the panel improvements are permanent.

However, breaking through under these circumstances is extremely difficult!

Lin Ye gasped in pain, took out an essence made from the liquid of an immortal elixir from his storage ring, and swallowed it. His complexion improved slightly afterward.

Sin emerged from behind Lin Ye and said loudly, "Baby, I'm here to help you!"

boom!

The next moment, the surging crimson spiritual energy in the Sin's hand erupted in a smiling explosion, leaving her utterly astonished.

"Minor sin, the high-level spiritual energy replacement is complete. The logic of my body's interaction with the external environment has changed!"

Lin Ye lowered his voice and reminded him, "Don't be reckless."

Xiao Zui was sweating a little and quickly said, "Sorry... I'll go back right away, let's go together!"

"Okay!" Lin Ye replied briefly, then closed his eyes again to begin his breakthrough.

.......

"Brother!"

Outside the secluded training room, Bai Yue and Princess Huang, who were anxiously waiting, sensed Lin Ye's magical power fluctuations, which were far stronger than before. They couldn't help but greet him with joy: "Congratulations on your successful breakthrough!"

Lin Ye stumbled and nearly fell, seemingly having difficulty controlling his body.

"This...brother?" Princess Huang was surprised and helped him up, but almost fell to the ground as well.

She's too weak!

"There was a slight mishap... Well, no, I guess there wasn't. After switching to high-level spiritual energy, my various controls have decreased, and I need to recover slowly."

Lin Ye straightened his back, his face turning happy.

"However, if I activate the Star of Discipline, my control will almost return to normal when I am suppressed to the Qi Refining stage."

"So that means..." Bai Yue exclaimed in surprise, "The other great demons that Young Master has been worried about can now be defeated within the Discipline Star!?"

"Hmm...not bad!" Lin Ye laughed heartily.

"Although dual cultivation might hurt you now... haha, today is a good day, let's not talk about that for now, I'll think of another way."

"I see you two can't wait any longer... Huang Zhou, prepare a banquet, and announce at the palace... the finals of the Discipline Star Challenge will begin tomorrow."

Huang Zhou declared loudly: "Yes, Master!"

"After the finals, there are other events on Linglu that are warming up the atmosphere. I will keep the players and elders from all sides at the palace until the blood mist erupts."

Lin Ye smiled and shook his head: "It still has to be you."

"Young master... I can't wait to spar with Princess."

"Sister Bai Yue, I won't hold back!"

Bai Yue and Princess Huang exchanged a glance, both of them eager to try.

The finalists are naturally the two of them!

The other young cultivators were truly no match for them, so the only option was for the Daoist couples to fight amongst themselves.

If Dark Star and Mad Sword were to fight, it would be quite interesting.

The two had endured this for many years, only scratching the surface of their exchanges, because the Lin family had a relatively harmonious atmosphere, and also to leave the outcome uncertain.

Although Lin Ye felt that either of them could win... it all depended on their condition and on-the-spot reactions.

"We're going back to prepare!"

Just as the two women excitedly took their leave, Huang Zhou transformed into an illusion and projected itself beside Lin Ye, bowing and saying, "The White Tiger King Beast Clan and the two Grand Elders have all sent their advice... urging Master to establish himself as the new Demon Emperor!"
