191: Chapter 191 is a proper dual cultivation story! The inheritance of the Gate of Life and Death!

"Dual Cultivation?"

"Here!?"

Looking at the swirling clouds and wind around them, Yun Yun felt her cheeks burning intensely.

The Gate of Life and Death is the inheritance ground of the Cloud Mist Sect, but it can also be understood as a tomb for the powerful, where countless predecessors of the Cloud Mist Sect passed away.

By practicing the core cultivation methods of the Cloud Mist Sect, or if one's Soul Power is strong enough, one can perceive soul fluctuations and sword intent within the surrounding clouds; these are remnants left by the Cloud Mist Sect's predecessors.

Cultivators who enter the Gate of Life and Death can choose to challenge the soul fluctuations they perceive. Success grants rewards from the Gate of Life and Death, as well as parts of the inheritances left by those predecessors.

In short, the Gate of Life and Death is an inheritance space where many ancestors of the Cloud Mist Sect rest eternally.

Gu Han's invitation was no different from suggesting Dual Cultivation in front of a grave.

"What improper things are you thinking about?" Noticing Yun Yun's expression, Gu Han laughed helplessly. "I'm talking about proper Dual Cultivation."

Was there such a thing as proper or improper Dual Cultivation?

Clearly, none of it was proper.

"Sit down, press your palms against mine, and then circulate the Dual Cultivation technique." Gu Han could only guide her step by step, providing an explanation. "As it turns out, the cultivation talent and comprehension of both you and the Old Sect Master aren't high enough."

Yun Yun: ?

"This high platform is an altar, and also a testing station." Gu Han explained patiently. "After stepping onto it, I felt a shroud of sword intent and sensed a gateway to the next level."

"If I were a wind-attribute cultivator or had practiced the core cultivation methods of the Cloud Mist Sect, I could proceed to the next level."

"This shows that the prerequisite for entering the next level is having high enough talent and being a direct descendant of the Cloud Mist Sect."

"I'm not a direct descendant, so I can't enter, while you and the Old Sect Master lack sufficient talent."

Yun Yun: "..."

She indeed could not perceive the sword intent and gateway Gu Han mentioned.

"Now, I'm going to use Dual Cultivation to let you perceive the sword intent and gateway, to see if I can go to the next level with you," Gu Han stated his plan.

Yun Yun immediately sat down and extended her hands, pressing her palms against Gu Han's.

Both of them simultaneously circulated Qiankun One Night. A mysterious aura flowed between them, transforming into a layer of special energy fluctuations.

As time passed, Yun Yun felt her Soul Power suddenly become full, and her sword intent grew stronger with the support of external energy.

When it reached a certain level, she felt as if a hanging longsword had appeared above her head, emitting a terrifying aura.

If this divine sword were to fall, with her current strength, she would perish instantly.

At the same time, she also sensed spatial fluctuations coming from the platform beneath her; by actively making contact, she could perceive the existence of a gateway.

"I sense it," Yun Yun said.

"Then let's try to enter together." Gu Han circulated his technique, wrapping his and Yun Yun's bodies with Soul Power as they charged toward the gateway.

But before they were halfway there, they were blocked by a spatial force and bounced back to their original positions.

"Yin Yang Twin Flames!"

Gu Han's eyes narrowed as he controlled the Yin Yang Twin Flames and the taiji diagram to fly out, enveloping himself and Yun Yun.

Black and white twin fish appeared, hovering and swimming above their heads, forming a black-and-white energy shield.

"Go!"

The taiji diagram lifted Gu Han and Yun Yun into the air, flying toward the gateway once more.

But at the same spot, an even denser spatial force surged out, stopping them and bouncing them back.

"It seems we can't use clever tricks to enter."

"Your talent is insufficient, and I haven't practiced the core cultivation methods of the Cloud Mist Sect."

Gu Han sighed with some regret.

"Then I will give you the Cloud Mist Sect's sect-protecting cultivation method. It's a High-level Xuan Rank technique for wind-attribute users that can cultivate sword intent, called the Wind Mist Sword Art," Yun Yun said immediately.

Her lack of talent and comprehension was difficult to solve; she couldn't find any natural treasures or techniques to improve them on short notice.

But letting Gu Han practice the Cloud Mist Sect's core cultivation method was not difficult to achieve.

"Give the technique to me." After thinking for a moment, Gu Han didn't stand on ceremony with Yun Yun.

Yun Yun took out a scroll which recorded the cultivation method for the Wind Mist Sword Art.

Gu Han scanned it with his Spirit Realm soul. The content was imprinted deep into his memory, and he closed his eyes to comprehend it.

Dozens of breaths later, he reopened his eyes and said, "First, I'll sacrifice Protector Wu's corpse to send you to the next level."

"What's wrong?" Yun Yun asked with concern.

"I am an ice-attribute cultivator. Because of the Yin Yang Twin Flames, I can also master Yin and Yang attribute power. I can master wind-attribute energy because of my Flying Dou Technique, making the practice of wind-attribute techniques twice as effective with half the effort."

"In a short time, I have no way to practice this wind-attribute technique to a level that allows entry into the next floor, and my strength is only at the Dou King level."

"For me, the natural energy and tempering on this level are sufficient."

Feeling the dense natural energy and some unique sword intent around him, Gu Han was extremely satisfied.

With his combat power, he could pass the trials of this level and receive the infusion of sword intent and natural energy.

By then, practicing the Wind Mist Sword Art would become much easier.

There was no need for Yun Yun to waste time here with him.

Sacrificing someone from the Hun Clan was the method for direct descendants of the Cloud Mist Sect with insufficient talent and comprehension, like Yun Yun, to enter.

"Alright."

Yun Yun had a personality that was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. On the surface, she appeared noble, a mature beauty, overbearing and imposing, and holy beyond desecration.

But in reality, she was an innocent young girl at heart. Once conquered by a man, she would be extremely submissive, obedient, sensible, and gentle.

"Go on!"

Gu Han took out Protector Wu's corpse and, following the opportunity hint given by the Xuanwu Shell, placed it on a certain spot on the altar.

This method should have been passed down through generations of the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, but unfortunately, something went wrong at some point and it was lost.

But for Gu Han, he only needed to consume three random opportunities for a targeted deduction to know everything clearly.

Boom!

Everyone in the Hall of Souls has a Seed Flame clone of the Void Swallowing Flame within their bodies.

And this was exactly the proof Yun Potian left behind to identify members of the Hall of Souls.

As Protector Wu's corpse was swallowed by the altar, a pure white gateway condensed into form, visible to the naked eye.

"Go ahead," Gu Han reminded her softly.

"I'll go to the seventh floor first to scout the way and come find you after I've seen it."

Yun Yun nodded slightly. Dou Qi condensed into illusory wings on her back, and she soared into the air, flying into the gateway.

Boom!

As Yun Yun entered, the gateway instantly dissipated.

[The seventh floor of the Cloud Mist Sect's Gate of Life and Death. Being able to enter means passing the trial (no lack of comprehension talent, status, technique proficiency, or the merit of slaying someone from the Hall of Souls). Upon entry, one can receive Earth Rank Low Tier cultivation methods and Dou Technique inheritances, natural energy infusion, and insights into spatial force.]

Gu Han had long used the Xuanwu Shell to perform a targeted deduction of the situation after entering the seventh floor of the Gate of Life and Death.

There would only be benefits, so he was at ease letting Yun Yun enter alone.

"I should begin as well!"

Gu Han closed his eyes and circulated his cultivation method, practicing seriously.

The Ice Soul Treasure Manual was very strong, among the top tier of Earth Class High Level cultivation methods.

If there was any flaw, it was the need to condense ice souls in the five internal organs and the dantian, which required a massive amount of natural energy.

It just so happened that the natural energy within the Gate of Life and Death was dense enough.

"A perfect time for a breakthrough sprint."

Outside.

As the news of Yan Luotian's fall spread.

Earth-shaking changes began to occur.
