661: Chapter 661 Loosening

Xuanyin Pavilion.

Stargazing Terrace.

"Liu Xuan, are you not human?!!"

A female voice, filled with three parts astonishment and three parts confusion, interrupted Liu Xuan's rhythm.

"How am I not human?" Liu Xuan slowly leaned in close to Jiang Xingwan and said with a smile, "Madam, you must provide evidence when you speak, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"

"The Qi and blood on your body are so terrifying!" Jiang Xingwan's jade hands tightly gripped Liu Xuan's shoulders, her tone slightly hurried. "How could a Human Race Cultivator possess such a strong Physical Body? Even a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord does not have such an exaggerated Physical Body of Qi and blood!"

Cultivators in this Realm do not have specialized Body Cultivators. Although a Cultivator's Divine Soul and magic power will nourish their Physical Body after advancing to a major Realm, the intensity will not be too exaggerated.

Regarding the Physical Body alone, when Liu Xuan was in the Golden Core Realm, he was already approaching the demonic body of a Nascent Soul Demon Lord, and was even a cut above a Nascent Soul True Lord. Since he advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, his Physical Body has surpassed most Spirit Transformation Dao Lords. Except for the semi-Body Refining Soul Transformation practitioners like the Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect, only a Hua Shen Demon Saint could be stronger than him.

"But why is there no Demonic Qi on your body?" Jiang Xingwan's eyebrows raised slightly, her large eyes looking at Liu Xuan, filled with confusion. "Clearly you possess such terrifying Qi and blood, yet there is not a trace of Demonic Qi. What kind of monster are you exactly?"

"What? Is Madam already scared?"

A sound like a beating drum suddenly erupted from Liu Xuan's chest. Fine, blood-colored and golden patterns spread across his skin, and the Qi and blood throughout his body surged several times over in an instant, as the aura of two Divine Beast true spirits radiated out.

"That was just a warm-up. Now, let me show you my true strength as your husband!"

With his state fully activated, Liu Xuan's voice also became vast and majestic, as if carrying deep thunder—heavy and imposing.

"This..."

Jiang Xingwan's eyes widened, her body trembling slightly. In a trance, she seemed to see two Divine Beasts coiled in the deep sky. The opponent's emotionless gaze locked onto her, making her want to submit uncontrollably from the depths of her heart.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and Cultivate!"

Liu Xuan reached out and patted Jiang Xingwan's beautiful face, which was motionless and dazed. "As the master of a branch of the Joyous Union Sect and the Daoist Yin-Yang, surely you haven't failed to learn the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique, have you?"

Jiang Xingwan came back to her senses, a rare trace of girlish shyness appearing on her beautiful face, and then she obediently began to operate the Yin-Yang Secret Art.

"Hmm?"

"Hiss~"

As the Yin-Yang Secret Art operated, Liu Xuan and Jiang Xingwan both trembled simultaneously. A mysterious and indescribable Concept enveloped them.

The Hunyuan magic power on Liu Xuan's body transformed into pure Yang, combining with his massive Qi and blood, resembling a flame.

The Xuanyin magic power on Jiang Xingwan's body was mixed with water-attribute Ling Yun, as well as the loneliness and coldness of the night sky, resembling a clear stream of ice.

Without needing to deliberately operate the Cultivation Technique or secret art, the two Yin and Yang Qi automatically merged and slowly intertwined.

Yin and Yang embraced the origin, their Qi mechanisms unified, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gradually gathered toward the Xuanyin Pavilion, faintly manifesting the Dao rhyme of Yin and Yang.

"This is the true Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique!"

"So I had been playing house all along!"

The Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique had always been a secret art Liu Xuan used to assist his Concubines in their Cultivation. Usually, the Concubines obtained the majority of the benefits, while he only obtained a small benefit in passing.

Because his ambitions did not lie there, and he was happy to help others, Liu Xuan had never paid much attention to it.

When he first met the two Joyous Union Sect Saintesses, Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan, he realized that the Joyful Union Secret Art would have better effects if both parties practiced it.

However, Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan's cultivation levels were similar to Liu Xuan's, and because they did not have deep attainments in the Yin-Yang Secret Art, although Liu Xuan felt good, he did not take it too much to heart.

It was not until today, while Cultivating with Jiang Xingwan, that Liu Xuan truly understood the foundation of the Joyous Union Sect as an ancient top-tier Sect!

'This effect is a bit exaggerated!'

Liu Xuan could not help but sigh in his heart; he felt that the cultivation effect was ten times, a hundred times, or even more than when he cultivated with Yin Lizhi and Liu Xiaowan!

"My cultivation and magic power are improving visibly; isn't this effect too excessive..."

Liu Xuan looked up. The Spiritual Qi of the Yin-Yang Archipelago condensed into a massive vortex above their heads. A huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram manifested a mysterious Dao rhyme, and the commotion created was even greater than when a Nascent Soul True Lord advanced!

This is unscientific!

If all Joyous Union Sect Cultivators had this effect when practicing the secret art, how could the Joyous Union Sect have declined? They would have long since unified the Cultivation World!

While Liu Xuan was still puzzled, Jiang Xingwan was already stunned, her whole being in a state of bewilderment.

Ever since her cultivation reached the Peak of the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation three hundred years ago, she had faintly felt that she had reached a certain limit, and that the Middle Stage Soul Transformation Bottleneck would be a chasm difficult for her to cross.

For three hundred whole years, during the first two hundred years, she was still able to slightly increase her magic power and improve her foundation through various means.

In the last hundred years, no matter how hard she tried, or how many high-grade Medicinal Pills or spiritual items she consumed, her magic power had not increased by even a trace.

This was a sign that her own talent had reached its limit. Unless she suddenly had an Epiphany regarding the Dao, or obtained a Heaven-Defying level Opportunity, there was a high probability she would remain stuck here forever, unable to break through the Middle Stage Soul Transformation Bottleneck in her lifetime and ascend to become a great Cultivator of the Late Stage of Soul Transformation.

But now, Jiang Xingwan felt for the first time in a long while that her magic power was increasing—not just by a little, but surging wildly!

With the blending of Yin and Yang, her originally Xuanyin-attributed magic power transformed into Yin-Yang magic power, which was a grade higher in quality than before.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered above poured in madly, and her total magic power was gradually increasing.

"Husband!" Jiang Xingwan pressed her hands harder onto Liu Xuan's shoulders. "Are you really just at the Nascent Soul True Lord cultivation level?!"

Jiang Xingwan guessed that Liu Xuan was an Immortal from the Lower Realm, and her eagerness to become his Dao Companion was not for short-term gains, but for the long-term future.

Regardless of how high Liu Xuan's status might have been in the past, his current cultivation level was only around the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage; this was something she had clearly seen.

Originally, she had thought that once Liu Xuan's cultivation recovered to the Spirit Transformation Dao Lord level, he would probably be able to help her then.

But reality far exceeded her expectations. Liu Xuan, with his Mid-Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, had true strength that was ridiculously exaggerated; not only was his Physical Body stronger than a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord's, but his magic power was also abnormally high in quality.

Especially in his mastery of the Yin-Yang Joyous Union Secret Technique, Liu Xuan was actually faintly a cut above her, the Daoist Yin-Yang of the Joyous Union Sect.

With multiple factors combined, the result was that the effect of her Cultivation with Liu Xuan was incredibly good.

Due to the specific nature of the Yin-Yang Branch Cultivation Technique, one needs to first Cultivate to a certain Realm and then find a fellow opposite-sex Cultivator of a similar Realm to perform Dual Cultivation, in order to break through the limitations of one's own talent and reach a higher Realm.

Before Cultivating, Jiang Xingwan had actually intended to first help Liu Xuan raise his cultivation, and then help each other mutually.

Liu Xuan took her two hands off his shoulders and held them in his own, then said in a reprimanding tone: "Focus on the Cultivation, do not be distracted!"

Reminded by Liu Xuan, Jiang Xingwan nodded slightly. Now was not the time to think about this and that; Cultivation was the real business!

Half a day later.

"Husband!"

"I feel it!"

"I feel the Bottleneck loosening!!"

Jiang Xingwan was trembling all over with excitement, tears even flowing out...
