"And because you lingered too long within the Tianyuan Lotus alongside the Kunpeng Egg, upon discovering you, he detected the Kunpeng Egg's aura upon you..."
Hong Lian relayed this explanation to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
The man clad in blue armor ceased his aggressive pursuit, likely departing to enlist reinforcements or procure potent magical artifacts.
It is a well-known fact that cultivators can confront and overcome demon kings of equivalent cultivation tiers by employing a variety of miraculous divine abilities and formidable magical treasures.
This mirrors the events of years past when Meng Wuhen and his consort utilized specific stratagems to befuddle the spiritual senses of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Despite Lu Lingjing's treacherous journey across the Boundless Sea, transitioning from the Starry Sky Sea to the Great Dream Marsh, Hong Lian maintained an utmost vigilance regarding such perilous affairs.
Aware that the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale was situated within Great Dream Immortal City, the arrival of Nascent Soul-level forces from the Starry Sky Sea would precipitate a calamity far exceeding the threat posed by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Ah..."
Upon absorbing this information, Lu Lingjing immediately comprehended the gravity of her actions, recognizing that she had inadvertently courted danger and potentially imperiled her sanctuary.
However, she swiftly countered, "Madam, please do not fret. That individual in blue armor is no match for my current capabilities."
Though she had recently ascended to the Fourth Rank, an unshakeable confidence in her augmented strength permeated her being.
This unwavering bravado is intrinsically characteristic of most demon kings, who are seldom acquainted with the sensation of fear.
"His cessation of pursuit at this juncture suggests he is seeking aid, and having assessed your formidable strength and unique abilities, he will undoubtedly seek out treasures specifically designed for demon hunting," Hong Lian elaborated with practiced patience.
Lu Lingjing remained somewhat unconvinced, harboring the conviction that even if confronted by another adversary of similar build, she possessed the capacity to prevail.
Nevertheless, under Hong Lian's persistent counsel, she ultimately conceded and resolved to retreat to the Sea Eye for slumber.
"Kindly wait a moment; allow me to prepare a few essentials for your journey, after which I shall accompany you," Hong Lian announced.
Her entire form shimmered with an ethereal luminescence, effectively masking her presence as she re-entered the Great Dream Immortal City.
Having meticulously compiled an assortment of rare healing spiritual medicines and invaluable heavenly and earthly treasures, Hong Lian swiftly returned to Mysterious Whale Island.
She then presented the curated healing spiritual medicines to the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale, along with instructions for their consumption during times of injury.
Subsequently, she entrusted the Fourth-Rank Escape Talisman and the Fourth-Rank Defense Talisman, previously bestowed by Lu Changsheng, to the care of the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale.
Regarding offensive talismans, their necessity was deemed negligible.
As a Transformed Demon King of the Fourth Rank, possessing the esteemed True Spirit Bloodline, the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale's inherent offensive capabilities far surpassed that of any Fourth-Rank Attack Talisman.
Even the Fourth-Rank Escape and Defense Talismans were procured merely as precautionary measures.
Following her advisory remarks to the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale, Hong Lian accompanied her back to the Sea Eye.
Throughout their transit, she continuously employed divine techniques to diligently disperse her aura, thereby circumventing any potential undue attention or unnecessary entanglements.
...
The desolate expanse known as the Land of Eternal Night.
Beneath the profound shroud of an inky, impenetrable night, the encampment, vigilantly protected by Qian Zhuyan and the formidable Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, stood as an isolated sanctuary of tranquility.
In the preceding days, Lu Changsheng had been deeply engrossed in the intricate practice of a Dual Cultivation Technique alongside Yun Wanshang, with the express aim of revitalizing their latent qi-blood magical energies.
It is important to note that this particular dual cultivation was not a simplistic amalgamation of male and female energies.
When their respective Yin and Yang Energies reached a state of depletion, Yun Wanshang employed her spirit-nurturing energy as a conduit, fostering a resonant connection between their Dao Foundation Pills.
This process facilitated a harmonious interplay of the sun and moon, Yin and Yang, thereby assisting Lu Changsheng in the gradual regeneration of new Yin Yang Energies.
Subsequently, as Lu Changsheng's Yin Yang Energies were fully restored, he, in turn, imbued Yun Wanshang's spirit-nurturing energy with his own vitality.
This seemingly perpetual cycle of reciprocal nourishment, akin to a celestial ascent, proved exceptionally harmonious for the pair, suggesting a profound synchronicity in their spiritual paths.
Even Yun Wanshang herself expressed astonishment at its efficacy.
In prior times, her cultivation had benefited from Lu Changsheng's assistance, wherein she utilized his Yin Yang Energies to re-nurture the spirit-nurturing energy of her Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body.
Concurrently, this enabled her to practice the "Virtuous Woman Reincarnation Technique."
However, at that juncture, Lu Changsheng's cultivation was regrettably nascent, residing only at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
Consequently, despite several years dedicated to dual cultivation, the advancement of this particular technique had been comparatively modest.
Yet, during the current cultivation phase, she observed a remarkable and rapid progression in her "Virtuous Woman Reincarnation Technique."
This sophisticated cultivation technique, originally acquired from the Tianyuan Secret Realm, was exceptionally profound in its design.
Upon its successful mastery, it ensured the practitioner's physical form remained perpetually in its optimal state.
Even when reaching advanced ages, such as four or five hundred years, should one endeavor to attain the Nascent Soul stage, their physical constitution would present no impediment to this monumental achievement.
Upon reaching mastery of this cultivation technique, one could not only preserve their peak condition and prolong life, but also counteract the aging process that depletes one's vital force. This would even allow the cultivator to experience a momentary reincarnation.
Within the illusion of reincarnation, a substantial foundation could be established, transforming the illusion into reality. Subsequently, with future cultivation opportunities, the foundation forged in the illusion could be solidified, effectively reversing the flow of cause and effect.
Should she truly perfect the "Virtuous Woman Reincarnation Technique," even without the Infant Transformation Elixir, she would possess absolute certainty in advancing towards the Nascent Soul stage.
Were she to have access to suitable Fourth Rank Spiritual Land, she would even carry immense confidence in approaching the Earth Dao Nascent Soul!
"True Man, my Yin Yang Energies are prepared."
After a considerable pause, Lu Changsheng observed the Yin Yang Energies slowly gathering around the Golden Core on his Dao Platform and voiced his statement.
Yun Wanshang responded with a soft "hmm," offering nothing further.
"True Man, at the very least, grant me some reaction, some form of feedback."
Lu Changsheng, witnessing the once formidable female knight now with her exquisite eyes shut tight and utterly silent, could not suppress a rueful sigh.
As Yun Wanshang remained unresponsive, he advanced, tenderly cupped her beautiful face, and gently claimed her lips.
"Cultivate your power, why are you sticking out your tongue?!" Yun Wanshang's stunning eyes snapped open, her expression a complex blend of bashfulness and irritation.
"True Man, I am a man after all, and without a little feedback, my motivation truly wanes," Lu Changsheng declared, a hint of grievance in his tone.
Yun Wanshang cast a piercing gaze at the man before her, her beautiful eyes conveying a mix of emotions, before ultimately allowing him to proceed.
Moments later, their lips finally separated.
Lu Changsheng gazed with deep, tender affection at the stunning woman before him, whispering softly, "True Man, I feel your heartbeat quickening, which means you also find this rather stimulating, don't you?"
"It's because you've provoked me!" Yun Wanshang could not resist retorting.
"No, it's a feeling of excitement."
