439: Chapter 439 [Law Warehouse]

After The Ark escaped the space collapse zone, it sailed steadily through the starry sky for several days.

The deep blue starry sky outside the window had returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

But Qin Lin's heart was not at peace.

He sat on the Bridge, looking at the starry sky outside, his mind constantly replaying the events of that day.

The energy consumption rate of the protective shield had jumped to ninety percent; The Ark was trembling, the metal groaning. If it had been any later, The Ark might have been torn to shreds.

He looked down at his hands.

When encountering danger, all he could do was sit in the Drivers Cabin and wait for The Ark to endure it on its own.

His Physique was already very strong, but that was a Physique Enhancement System upgrade, not something he had achieved through his own Cultivation.

Ling Xi said that Lv20 required him to Cultivate on his own; he couldn't rely solely on the Physique Enhancement System.

Qin Lin stood up and walked out of the Bridge.

In the corridor, Yeying happened to pass by. Her belly was already quite prominent, and she walked with one hand supporting her waist. "Qin Lin, what's wrong? You don't look so good."

Qin Lin looked at her. "It's nothing, just thinking about some things."

Yeying looked at him. "Every time you say it's nothing, there's actually something. You can't hide it from me."

Qin Lin was silent for a moment. "I was thinking, the next time we encounter danger, whether I can do more."

Yeying looked at him without speaking, just walked over and patted his shoulder. "Then go find Ling Xi; she should have a way."

Ling Xi was in The Ark's Void Storage Room, checking the intercepted Small Worlds.

As soon as the door to the Void Storage Room opened, the aura of multiple worlds rushed towards him.

Ling Xi stood at the entrance of the Void Storage Room, sensing the Small Worlds intercepted from different Realms, which looked like miniature bubbles floating inside the Void Storage Room.

Qin Lin walked in and stood beside her. "Ling Xi, I have something I want to ask you."

Ling Xi turned her head to look at him. "I know what you want to ask."

Qin Lin looked at her. "How do you know?"

Ling Xi looked at him. "Your energy fluctuations are changing—anxious, eager, wanting to become stronger. Since the space collapse, your state hasn't fully undergone Recovery."

Qin Lin was silent for a moment. "The Ark can upgrade, but I can't. The next time we encounter danger, I can't just sit and wait."

Ling Xi looked at him. "You came to find me because you knew I had a way?"

Qin Lin nodded. "You must have a way to make me stronger."

Ling Xi was silent for a moment. "I can design a Cultivation Technique for you, but it requires a partner to Cultivate."

Qin Lin looked at her. "What Cultivation Technique?"

"Dual Cultivation Technique."

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment. "Dual Cultivation?"

Ling Xi nodded. "By blending the energy between a man and a woman to improve the Cultivation and Physique of both parties. You have so many women on The Ark; this is much faster than bitter Cultivation."

Qin Lin looked at her. "Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Ling Xi thought for a moment. "I thought you didn't need it."

Qin Lin took a deep breath. "Alright, then help me design it."

Ling Xi looked at him. "It will take a few days."

Qin Lin nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The women on The Ark had already gotten used to living in the Void Storage Room.

The intercepted Small Worlds had been incorporated into the Void Storage Room by The Ark, and each Small World had different scenery.

Some had forests, some had grasslands, some had lakes, and some had mountains.

The women could return to their own tribe's world to visit at any time, as if they possessed a place they could return home to whenever they wanted.

When Qin Lin walked into the Void Storage Room, he saw Yeying sitting on a patch of grass, with her tribespeople nearby.

She saw him come in and waved. "Qin Lin, come over."

Qin Lin walked over and sat down beside her. "Are you all getting used to it here?"

Yeying nodded. "We're used to it. There's grass, wind, and sunshine here. It's very much like our hometown, and there are no disasters."

Qin Lin looked at the grassland. "That's good. If you miss home, you can come back at any time."

The worlds in the Void Storage Room were becoming more numerous and more complete.

The women of various races lived here with peace of mind because they knew that even as The Ark sailed through the starry sky, they could return to a place like their hometown at any time.

Qin Lin went to check on the Demon Race's world again. Under that dark red sky, it was still a stretch of cracked land, but Ling Xi was using The Ark's energy to repair it.

She stood under that dark red sky, her hands raised. Pale golden light surged from her hands, seeping into the cracked earth, and small streams of water slowly seeped out from the cracks.

"Qin Lin, do you have any plans?"

Ling Xi lowered her hands. "This Cultivation Technique requires you to go into secluded Cultivation for a period of time."

Qin Lin looked at her. "How long?"

Ling Xi thought for a moment. "If it goes smoothly, maybe a few weeks. Do you have the patience?"

Qin Lin smiled. "I do."

After the Dual Cultivation Technique was designed, Qin Lin began his secluded Cultivation on The Ark.

When the women heard that Qin Lin needed Dual Cultivation to improve his Cultivation, they all volunteered.

Liu Ruyan was the first to raise her hand. "I'll do it!"

Yeying also stood up. "I'll do it too."

Guangyao stood up. "I am willing."

Forest Lord Cui Yin nodded. "I am also willing."

Qin Lin looked at them. "So many people?"

Yeying looked at him. "Aren't you trying to improve your Cultivation? The more people, the greater the strength."

Qin Lin looked at her. "Alright then."

The corners of Yeying's mouth curled up.

The process of Dual Cultivation was not as simple as Qin Lin had imagined.

The Cultivation Technique designed by Ling Xi required both parties to maintain a high degree of focus and synchronization during the Dual Cultivation process. If one party became distracted, the Cultivation effect would be greatly diminished.

When Qin Lin tried it for the first time with Yeying, Yeying's body was still like a ball of flame, passionate and direct, but her energy became purer during the Dual Cultivation process, and every blending brought with it a flame-like Warmth.

"Qin Lin, how do you feel?"

Qin Lin looked at her. "It feels... very good, like something is flowing through my body."

Yeying nodded. "That is the circulation of spiritual energy. Ling Xi said that the Dual Cultivation Technique can clear the Meridians and improve Cultivation. Keep persisting."

Over the next few days, Qin Lin constantly practiced Dual Cultivation.

Su Yuran was as gentle as water, Yeying as passionate as fire, Guangyao as warm as light, Forest Lord Cui Yin as tranquil as a forest, and Mother Shi as steady as a mountain.

Every type of energy left a mark within his body.

Ling Xi would come every day to observe Qin Lin's Cultivation progress. "Your Meridians are being cleared, and your Physique is also improving. At this rate, you might be able to Breakthrough to the same Rank of Cultivation as The Ark before your secluded Cultivation ends."

Qin Lin looked at her. "The same Rank as The Ark?"

Ling Xi nodded. "Yes, your strength will have a qualitative leap."

...

The Dual Cultivation on The Ark continued.

Qin Lin's Cultivation was rapidly improving, and the women's Cultivation was also growing steadily.

Yeying's Cultivation had already broken through from the Golden Core Late Stage to Golden Core Perfection. Guangyao's Cultivation had also increased by a small Realm, and Forest Lord Cui Yin's spiritual energy had become even purer.

When the secluded Cultivation was halfway through, the System notification sound echoed in every corner of The Ark.
