Empyrean Oceanheart, moved by Vaan's generosity, initiated a bold kiss, surprising Vaan and upsetting Seraphina. Vaan realized Oceanheart's actions might be a calculated move to prepare Seraphina for his polygamous nature, and Oceanheart confirmed she'd speak with Seraphina, potentially paving the way for Vaan to have both grandmother and granddaughter.

Of course, she also knew that a supremely powerful dual cultivation technique could control the strong blessing, preventing it from becoming a harmful disaster.

Unfortunately, she was not well-versed in dual cultivation.

By Vaan’s slightly apprehensive look, it was clear that he also lacked such a powerful dual cultivation technique.

Empyrean Oceanheart felt somewhat sad, knowing that her own high cultivation was the very reason she could not become Vaan’s woman at this stage. She was aware of just how potent her primordial yin energy was.

If she could offer it to Vaan, he would definitely make substantial progress in his cultivation.

It was just too unfortunate that he lacked a suitable dual cultivation technique to control her overwhelming primordial yin energy.

’Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I can’t believe that there would be a day when I would be stressed over this kind of matter.’ Empyrean Oceanheart silently lamented with a wry look.

After separating from Vaan, Empyrean Oceanheart made her way over to Seraphina, who looked like a lost little lamb, uncertain of what to think and do.

While staring at Empyrean Oceanheart’s back with some reluctance, his heart burned with the desire for a peerless dual cultivation technique.

Whether to satisfy his personal desire or to enhance his strength, he realized that a peerless dual-cultivation technique was essential. Empyrean Oceanheart was just the first high-quality woman, but she definitely wouldn’t be the last.

As such, a peerless dual cultivation technique was greatly needed for his present and future. It would save him countless years of arduous cultivation.

Ding!

=====

The sudden system notification immediately gave Vaan a pleasant surprise. He realized it was just around the right time for the system to complete its upgrade.

However, the system’s upgrade completion wasn’t the only pleasant surprise waiting for him.

Ding!

<The system has detected a high-quality woman who can provide immense benefits to the host through dual-cultivation>

<However, the host currently lacks the qualifications and means to maximize the benefit of dual-cultivation with the target and will die from energy overload>

<Would you like to initiate the problem-solving steps?>

’Yes!’ Vaan willed without hesitation.

Ding!

<The quest [Deflowering the Highest Heaven] has been generated>

=====

Quest: Deflowering the Highest Heaven

Objective: Successfully dual-cultivate with the virgin Empyrean God, Oshenra Delmare, without dying to the energy overload.

Reward: An Empyrean God’s primordial yin energy.

Time limit: N/A

=====

Ding!

<In order to assist the host in completing the quest, several sub-quests have been generated>

<Note: the host does not need to complete all sub-quests, but their completion will accelerate the time and increase the success chance of completing the main quest>

Vaan’s lips slightly twitched when he read the system’s choice of name for the quest. It almost seemed like the system was designed to turn him into a flower picker.

Who had even designed this?

Oh, wait.

He did.

After Vaan modified the system, it was equipped with improved artificial intelligence, capable of providing calculated, logical, and personalized suggestions that weren’t hard-coded.

As such, he had no idea what kind of quest names the system would come up with.

At most, he would only have a basic idea, as the quest name would generally be related to the quest objective.

Vaan quickly shook his head and moved on.

=====

Side quest 1: Yin Yang Creation Art

Objective: Create the Pinnacle Heaven-rank Dual Cultivation Technique, Yin Yang Creation Art, by supplying the system with the necessary amount of Soul Power.

Reward: Pinnacle Heaven-rank Yin Yang Creation Art

Estimated time: Six months

=====

Technique: Yin Yang Creation Art

Rank: Pinnacle Heaven

Overview: the Yin Yang Creation Art is an orthodox dual cultivation technique that focuses on mutual benefits but not equal benefits. By exploiting the concept of yin-yang to the limits, no energy will be wasted, and harm will be inflicted, no matter the difference between the two parties.

Additional information: [Tap to expand]

=====

The Yin Yang Creation Art’s information quickly attracted Vaan’s interest and curiosity after a quick read of its overview. As such, he couldn’t help but expand the information box to learn more about the technique.

Surprisingly, the Yin Yang Creation Art was not a new dual cultivation technique created by the system’s Soul Power Research.

On the contrary, it was an existing technique that had been lost in time.

Furthermore, it was actually created by the Prime Originator.

=====

Side quest 2: Conquer the Pure Flower

Objective: Successfully dual-cultivate with Seraphina Delmare while she is still a virgin and receive her primordial yin energy, enriching your understanding of dual cultivation and the mermaid bloodline.

Reward: Seraphina’s primordial yin energy, 1-month reduction to the main quest’s remaining time completion requirement.

...

Side quest 3: Hundred Flower Conquest

Objective: Successfully dual-cultivation with a 100 virgins on the Azure Wanderer to acquire their primordial yin energy, enriching your understanding of dual cultivation and the benefits of primordial yin energy.

Reward: the primordial yin energy of 100 virgins, a 2-month reduction to the main quest’s remaining time completion requirement.

Note: this sub-quest is repeatable, but the time-reduction reward would only be half as much.

=====

Vaan’s lips twitched again as he read through the following side quests.

The system truly wanted to turn him into a flower picker.

However, he also understood the necessity of the latter sub-quests, which could accelerate the research of the Yin Yang Creation Art. Only by dual-cultivating with pure maidens could he enhance his dual cultivation knowledge, reducing the technique’s Soul Power requirement.

Alas, if he wanted to complete the Yin Yang Creation Art quickly, he needed to dual-cultivate with Seraphina and 400 other virgins or just 500 other virgins on the Azure Wanderer.

Either options were not simple to achieve.

After all, even though there were more than 25,000 people currently on the ship, it was hard to say whether there were actually that many available virgin maidens for him to pluck.
