Lu Xuanji reunited intimately with Qinglian for ten days, deepening his understanding of the Lu Family's hardships during the invasion. The clan's bell rang nine times, drawing joyful cultivators who welcomed the ancestor's return amid their reliance on him for rise and stability. He lectured on the Great Dao, manifesting golden flowers and anomalies that enlightened all attendees. Departing unseen, he encountered Ning Xue, who excitedly revealed her breakthrough to peak Harmonization Realm with potent pure Yin power.

Perfection has been attained in the Mysteries of Pure Yin, and the Mysteries of Ice have reached Perfection as well.

Only a bit further, and entry into the Tribulation Crossing Realm awaits.

A hint of astonishment appeared on Lu Xuanji's face as he beheld this sight.

To his surprise, this unassuming old maid had now climbed to Harmonization Perfection, soaring to such impressive heights.

In the past, she was merely an ordinary mortal, progressing sluggishly at the start and staying overlooked through the mid-stages. Yet in the later mid-stages, she built up steadily before bursting forth, revealing stunning aptitude that outshone numerous haughty geniuses.

Intrigued, Lu Xuanji inquired, "Xiaoxue, did you encounter any fortuitous event?"

"Fortuitous event? None at all," Ning Xue answered. "I simply remained in the Lu Family's Grotto Heaven, tended to the household for the master, now and then imparted Dao insights to fellow clan cultivators, and cultivated in my spare moments... nothing out of the ordinary..."

Lu Xuanji heard this and felt a bit speechless.

Without any fortuitous events, she had surged to this level—far more potent and terrifyingly gifted than those who chased such strokes of luck.

"Master, your pace seems a touch sluggish..." Ning Xue remarked.

"Ahem, it's not that bad..." Lu Xuanji cleared his throat, a flush of embarrassment rising as he explained, "I grasp the Mysteries of Creation and the Mysteries of the Celestial Blade, woven from countless Mysteries. They boast ultimate creation and boundless potential, but that makes the advancement far slower!"

Ning Xue nodded in agreement. "Master, you're correct. Shall we have a little spar?"

"Sure!" Lu Xuanji agreed with a nod.

With that, they entered the Cave Mansion together, settled cross-legged upon the bed, stirred their yin and yang energies, and started channeling magical power through one another's bodies.

Lu Xuanji directed his Creation Magical Power, turning it into a gentle stream that flowed into Ning Xue's form; in turn, Ning Xue unleashed her Pure Yin Magical Power, manifesting as an immense aura that poured into him.

Though the quantity of magical powers remained unchanged during this exchange, their quality underwent steady refinement.

At the same time, the Mysteries embedded in the powers circulated, allowing each to acquaint itself with the other's profundities.

In particular, the Perfection-stage Mysteries of Pure Yin and Ice offered immense inspiration for Lu Xuanji. By using another as a mirror, he gained sharper insight into his own path.

Boom boom boom!

In that instant, the magical power surged fiercely, while the aura climbed without cease.

Lu Xuanji sensed his long-stagnant cultivation beginning to advance, bit by bit, with unwavering progress.

...

Upon the Spiritual Mountain, inside a grand central cave mansion, a white-robed woman reclined, savoring tea leisurely; across from her sat a black-clad woman, her presence ancient and overbearing, sharp like an unsheathed blade.

Mutual wariness filled their gazes as they faced one another.

The Cyan Lotus spoke up. "Jin Xi, you've done remarkably well, breaking into the first layer of Tribulation Crossing with a real shot at Immortality ahead!"

Jin Xi replied coolly, "Spare the jests. Talking about Immortal prospects is fine, but don't treat it as fact. Long ago, a massive fortuitous encounter boosted me, especially after absorbing that person's remnant soul, filling me with assurance. Yet upon entering Tribulation Crossing Realm, the truth dawned on me."

"Enduring nine tribulations, shattering one's chains, and ascending—how arduous, maybe even unattainable? Countless prodigies, full of swagger, have fallen to tribulations, perishing in despair!"

Cyan Lotus chuckled. "Well said—you truly get it. I figured your rising cultivation might inflate your ego... but you still possess self-knowledge and recognize your limits!"

Jin Xi heard this; once she would have snapped back fiercely, but now she only let out a faint sigh.

The will to dispute had vanished.

No will to dispute, born purely from a lack of spirit.

Cyan Lotus placed her teacup down, speaking steadily. "Husband's return this time conceals many secrets, though I still detect the shadow of peril. Soon we'll clash with Feiyu World and face Daoist Monarch Feiyu. Without sufficient cultivation, we could perish amid the tribulations!"

"Worse still, husband has reached a bottleneck. He's mastered ninety-nine percent of the Mysteries of Creation and Mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, stuck at Harmonization's peak—lagging behind even us. That beast of a maid, Ning Xue, has overtaken him too!"

"In the past, slow cultivation posed no real problem—patience forges unstoppable momentum, as the saying goes. Along the immortal path of cultivation, victory belongs not to the swiftest, but to those who advance steadily and journey farthest. Yet now, time slips away from us, just as it does from husband..."

"Soon, the Undying Demon Monarch will regain his strength and launch an assault on the Purple Mansion World. Once his armies surround us, should husband's cultivation remain stalled, he may fail to overcome this dire trial!"

Jin Xi absorbed her words, reflecting deeply on their meaning, then questioned, "What point are you driving at?"

Cyan Lotus chuckled and replied, "Back in those days, you reigned as the Golden Ancestor, a Golden Core Ancestor from Chu Country, while husband was merely a novice in Qi Cultivation. The Lu Family endured fierce invasions, with numerous high-level cultivators falling, teetering on total destruction. It was you, the Golden Ancestor, who shielded husband."

"Husband advanced gradually, enduring the harshest trials to rise as a formidable power. However, as husband's cultivation soared, you, the Golden Ancestor, fell behind, reduced to mere ornamentation. Presently, at the first layer of Tribulation Crossing, your power is mighty yet essentially still just an elaborate adornment, correct?"

"Am I right? Far from it..."

Jin Xi responded icily, her fists tightening instinctively.

Bitterness churned within her.

"Why bring all this up?"

Cyan Lotus continued, "Jin Xi, long ago, you used the Supreme Secret Technique to sever me from yourself, sending us down divergent paths. You bore the supreme Sword Dao, while I wielded the supreme Celestial Demon Dao, pursuing separate destinies."

"We faintly broke free from a fragment of the Heavenly Dao's restraints! But it falls short still!"

"Jin Xi, let us reunite as one!"

Jin Xi retorted mockingly, "We only just parted ways—why fuse again now... Besides, upon merging, who takes control, you or me?"

Her words dripped with sarcasm, though her mind raced far from tranquil.

The Yin Yang Illusionary Body, that supreme Divine Technique, split one into two, unlocking vast potential and boundless prospects.

But the price proved steep, for the detached Cyan Lotus Avatar gained full independence and immense growth capacity, forever looming over her.

To this day, despite attaining the first layer of Tribulation Crossing, she couldn't fathom the Cyan Lotus Avatar's true depths—it seemed even mightier, more terrifying, and utterly unstoppable than expected.

Should they clash in a battle of devouring, defeat might claim her.

Cyan Lotus declared, "Xi'Er, though we stem from the same origin, I am not you, nor are you me. Devouring and refining you would elevate my talent and aptitude by two full tiers, vastly boosting my potential. Yet I held back that urge, never consuming you... all because Xuanji forbids it!"

"Under normal circumstances, I'd let things stay as they are. But with calamity approaching, we must aid Xuanji and give him a real shot at victory. Let's merge once more! United, our strength will surge, rendering us invincible, ready to support husband!"

"Post-merger, I'll dominate by day, you by night!"

Jin Xi countered, "No—odd days for me, even days for you!"

Cyan Lotus agreed with a nod, "Whatever suits you, as long as it brings you joy!"

Jin Xi nodded silently, holding her tongue.

They rose together, etching Array Patterns that formed a grand Tai Chi Diagram.

One positioned at the Yang Eye, the other at the Yin Eye. Their powers collided fiercely yet wove together endlessly. Sword Qi pierced the skies, sharp and lethal, poised to cleave through everything; Demonic Qi roiled outward, conjuring a hellish Demon Realm. Opposing forces gradually blended into harmony.
