591: Chapter 591 Wounded

"Isn't Husband busy selecting beauties for concubines? How do you have time to see me?"

Peach Blossom gave Liu Xuan a reproachful look before continuing to tend to her precious spiritual flowers. Her tone was three parts coquettish, three parts jealous, and three parts dissatisfied, balanced perfectly.

Having spent many years with Liu Xuan, Peach Blossom had long seen that he didn't prefer gentle and sensible women, but rather bright and charming girls; occasional acting spoiled and jealous could earn her more of his favor.

Striking the right balance was not difficult for Peach Blossom; she handled it with ease.

Liu Xuan walked up behind Peach Blossom. Seeing her perfect silhouette accentuated as she crouched down, even with his self-control, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"What are you saying, Madam? Selecting beauties for concubines is only to have children and strengthen the Family. How could they compare to you?"

"Is that so?" Peach Blossom looked back at Liu Xuan with a hint of a smile, then pointed at Bai Jie and Lvluo. "Then Husband marrying them was also just to have children and strengthen the Family?"

Bai Jie and Lvluo remained silent. Unlike Peach Blossom, the two of them never expected any true affection from Liu Xuan. What did it matter if he used them to have children? As long as the benefits they received were real, things like love didn't matter.

Liu Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he reached out to pull both Bai Jie and Lvluo into his arms. "Of course they are different too. Teacher Bai and little Lvluo are both my capable assistants."

"Hmph!" Peach Blossom gave a light huff. "Everyone is different. Husband is just good at lying."

After some flirting, Peach Blossom stopped while she was ahead, stood up, and asked, "Husband, did you come to see me at this time for something important?"

"Madam is clever. I have recently had some insights in my Cultivate and wish to discuss them with you."

Peach Blossom instantly misunderstood Liu Xuan's meaning. She gave him a seductive wink and then instructed Bai Jie and Lvluo, "You two join us later as well."

Liu Xuan quickly explained, "This time is different from before; we need to discuss it privately."

Discuss privately? Peach Blossom looked at Liu Xuan with doubt for a moment, then a surge of joy rose in her heart. 'Could it be that my charm has increased recently, and Husband wants to favor me exclusively?'

Waving her hand for Bai Jie and Lvluo to withdraw, Peach Blossom happily pulled Liu Xuan, ready to leave.

Just as they were about to move, Liu Xuan pressed down on her shoulder. Under her confused gaze, he said slowly, "The flowers are in full bloom here and the scenery is quite good. Let us Cultivate right here!"

Peach Blossom paused for a moment before understanding the intent in Liu Xuan's eyes. She leaned over to tend the spiritual flowers as she had done before.

Picking a pink flower and holding it in her hand, Peach Blossom looked back up at Liu Xuan from below. "Does Husband also like spiritual flowers?"

"I do! What I like most is you, my delicate flower."

...

...

Cultivate ended.

A large patch of spiritual flowers in the garden had fallen, their green leaves and petals scattered into the soil.

Peach Blossom, however, had no heart to pity these usually beloved spiritual flowers. Instead, she was immersed in a new surge of Yin and Yang power within her demon power.

With the addition of a trace of the Law of Yin and Yang, her strength had directly increased by a margin.

Don't look down on just a trace; at her current Realm, ordinary treasures wouldn't provide even a sliver of benefit. To directly strengthen her demon power, it would require at least a fourth-grade spiritual item.

"Husband, when did you master the Law of Yin and Yang?" Peach Blossom asked.

"It's a long story, so I'll keep it short..." Liu Xuan began with meeting the Joyous Union Sect Saintess, Yin Lizhi, and obtaining the complete Legacy of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique from her, up until he told Peach Blossom all the new abilities he gained after comprehending the secret art.

"You're saying this secret art can increase my demon power by ten to thirty percent, and we can also perform a combined attack method to stack our strength?"

Doubt flickered in Peach Blossom's eyes. Were the effects of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique really that exaggerated?

Setting aside the combined attack method, a secret art that could increase her demon power by thirty percent was already considered Heaven-Defying. It was enough for her cultivation level to catch up with those veteran early-stage Hua Shen Demon Saints.

"Would I lie to you?" Liu Xuan nodded. "However, you haven't cultivated the secret art, so we'll have to test it to see how much power the combined attack can unleash."

Peach Blossom's brow furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at Liu Xuan. "I am now a Hua Shen Demon Saint, and my demon power contains both the Law of Space and the Law of Life. If we merge our Dharma Power according to the secret art, can you withstand it?"

Liu Xuan's Physical Body strength was exaggerated, and his Divine Soul and Dharma Power also far exceeded the Nascent Soul Realm; Peach Blossom knew all this.

But she had only recently achieved a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, and her cultivation was not yet fully stable. She couldn't even fully control her own demon power.

If they merged their Dharma Power and demon power according to the combined attack method Liu Xuan mentioned, she was worried he would be injured.

"No matter! I have confidence." Liu Xuan comforted her confidently.

Liu Xuan certainly had confidence. He knew very well how strong his body was. Even if he were injured, he could recover by taking some blood pills.

In the worst-case scenario, he possessed the Blood Drop Rebirth Divine Ability and had the Small World and the Immortal Artifact wither-thrive life-death cauldron within him to suppress any backlash. He wouldn't die no matter what.

"Alright then! Be careful and don't hurt yourself." Peach Blossom was still very worried, but she knew she couldn't change Liu Xuan's mind once he had decided, so she could only cooperate.

Liu Xuan said no more. His blood surged, his Dharma Power billowed, and his eyes turned into emotionless vertical pupils.

Holding Peach Blossom to one side with one hand, Yin and Yang Qi quickly enveloped the two of them.

Buzz—

Liu Xuan's body instantly swelled to several meters high, and a pitch-black tree manifested behind him as extremely dense Demonic Qi merged into his body.

"Hiss—is this the power of the Soul Transformation level?!" As the demon power flowed into Liu Xuan's body through the Yin and Yang Qi connection, a flash of fanaticism appeared in his cold vertical pupils.

Peach Blossom clung to his neck, her small face full of tension at his appearance. She urged loudly, "Husband, if you feel you can't take it, tell me! I'll help you cut off the Fusion!"

"Madam worries too much. I can handle it just fine!" Liu Xuan grinned. Instead of holding back, he accelerated the intake of demon power and fully exerted the secret art.

"Great Five Elements Primordial, Yin Yang, Space... this Yin Yang combined attack method is wonderful. It's practically tailor-made for me!"

When Liu Xuan achieved his Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he had merged many Laws and Daos, and even opened up a Small World within his body.

He felt that his compatibility with the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique might be even higher than that of its creator.

Roar—

Screech—

Two blurry giant beasts appeared above the tree manifested behind Liu Xuan. A terrifying pressure swept through the entire Biyou Immortal City, which even the power of the grand array could not suppress.

Xuanhuang Primordial Light gathered above Liu Xuan's head. He felt his vision change; the whole world had changed. The Laws of heaven and earth were clearly manifested within his Divine Sense. With just a thought, he could destroy the surrounding Laws and plunge a portion of the world into chaos.

Hiss!

Before he could carefully experience it, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Divine Sense, followed by a surge of pain throughout his body. A massive number of cells collapsed, and a mist of blood enveloped him from the inside out as his aura plummeted.
