Chapter 308: Chapter 307 Time Acceleration Array (First Update, Seeking Subscription)
Above the great hall, Jin Xi looked at Ning Xue and activated the "Plum Blossom Divination". In just a moment of mental calculation, she knew all about Ning Xue’s past.
She sighed inwardly, thinking that Lu Xuanji indeed had good fortune.
The Pure Yang Dao Body and the Pure Yin Saint Body complement each other perfectly. If cultivated together, they could bring immense benefits. This was an unparalleled creation for Lu Xuanji and also for Ning Xue.
Just moments ago, she leveraged the "Plum Blossom Divination" to calculate, even deducing a glimpse into Ning Xue’s future.
If not for Lu Xuanji’s intervention, Ning Xue would build her Foundation Establishment in ten years, attain the Purple Mansion Realm in another one hundred and fifty years. However, due to the activation of her Pure Yin Saint Body, a large amount of Pure Yin Qi would impact her Qi and Blood, causing her body to cool, hindering her cultivation progress, and leading to her death before the age of three hundred and fifty.
Because of Lu Xuanji’s interference, Ning Xue’s fate changed, her future became unpredictable, with countless possibilities and changes.
"Xiao Xue!"
Jin Xi said.
"Greetings, True Monarch!" Ning Xue respectfully replied.
"The Pure Yin Saint Body is one of the top physiques, but it’s ultimately not as favorable as the Pure Yang Dao Body!" Jin Xi said, "The Pure Yang Dao Body can awaken the Pure Yang True Flame upon reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, which can be used to refine the body and True Qi, greatly enhancing one’s cultivation. However, the Pure Yin Saint Body is lacking in comparison. Upon reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, it can generate Pure Yin Qi, which is beneficial to certain male cultivators, but offers no advantage to you."
"Following Xuanji is good for you. Not to mention anything else, reaching the Golden Core won’t be difficult, and there’s even a hope for Nascent Soul!"
"I understand, Senior!"
Ning Xue replied.
In society, no one is good to another without reason; there is always an agenda.
Such an agenda is also an opportunity for the weak to rise.
The master values her because of the Taiyin Saint Body, wanting to use it at a critical moment to break through realms.
This is a good thing, as being valued brings unlimited possibilities for the future.
In past moments, the upper limit was only the Purple Mansion;
But now, at the very least, it’s the Golden Core, and perhaps even the Nascent Soul.
"This is for you, to shield your Pure Yin Qi!"
Jin Xi said, handing over a Jade Pendant.
Ning Xue gratefully accepted, putting it around her neck. As the Jade Pendant activated, her aura converged, and the scattered Pure Yin Qi was sealed within her body, unable to escape.
"Xiao Xue, go rest in the side hall for now!"
"Thank you, True Monarch!"
With a wave of Jin Xi’s hand, a golden glow shimmered as Ning Xue vanished, entering the side hall.
Only two people remained in the great hall.
"I miss you!"
Jin Xi said, stepping forward, leaning on Lu Xuanji’s shoulder, feeling that slight warmth and refreshing sensation. Instantly, she felt a rush of heat through her body, slightly softening her body, intoxicated at the sight of this man, unable to restrain herself.
"I miss you too!"
Lu Xuanji replied.
Afterward, the two embraced closely, indulging in each other as if becoming one, as if trying to integrate the other into their very being.
Time seemed to pass unnoticed as they sat on the bed, whispering intimate words, discussing the various happenings over the years.
"Did you obtain the Time Fruit?"
Lu Xuanji gently asked, holding the beauty in his arms.
"Yes, I did, but I’ve kept it until I reach the Nascent Soul before consuming it. Now I have a two-thousand-year lifespan!" Jin Xi spoke with a hint of joy in her voice, "In a thousand years, I could step into Divinity Transformation, or perhaps fall within a tribulation!"
"Don’t speak nonsense. Though my cultivation isn’t as advanced as yours right now, in no more than three hundred years, I will catch up. By then, I will shield you, bearing your tribulations."
In his words, there was a hint of domineering spirit.
It is acceptable to rely on someone occasionally, but he does not plan to rely indefinitely.
"You are already a Golden Core. At your cultivation speed, catching up with me won’t take long!" Jin Xi spoke, with a faint trace of melancholy in her voice.
When they first met, she was a Golden Core Ancestor, and Lu Xuanji was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Yet, hundreds of years later, she was only at Nascent Soul Cultivation, while Lu Xuanji had reached the Golden Core.
The gap between them was narrowing continuously.
Moreover, Lu Xuanji possessed great destiny, resolving several tribulations on her behalf and securing opportunities.
As she sensed her lover’s cultivation progress, her happiness was tempered with an increasing sense of sadness.
But in the next moment, as endless freshness came over, the two entwined once again.
Thus begins another intoxication, separated much later.
"No more!"
"I still want more!"
"You’re such a child, never growing up!"
"With you spoiling me, why grow up?"
"By the way, let Xiao Xue stay with me; I will guide her!" Jin Xi suddenly said.
"Why is that?"
Lu Xuanji slightly frowned.
"Xuanji, how could I not understand your intentions!" Jin Xi spoke, with a sigh in her voice, "You plan to take Ning Xue as a concubine, diligently foster her to the Golden Core Realm, and then engage in dual cultivation, utilizing her potent Pure Yin Qi to challenge the Golden Core Tenth Transformation?"
"Yes!"
Lu Xuanji nodded, with determination and a hint of decisiveness in his tone, "In life, one must strive, even knowing the odds are slim and the chances of failure high; I still plan to give it a go!"
Indeed, so it is!
Jin Xi sighed inwardly, yet her words were firm, "I know not how to reach the Golden Core Tenth Transformation, but I know it is tremendously difficult. With your current foundation, attempting the Tenth Transformation wouldn’t yield even a one-thousandth chance. Even if Ning Xue reaches the Golden Core Realm, her help to you will be minimal!"
"It would be best if Ning Xue reaches Nascent Soul; only then will your dual cultivation be of notable assistance!"
Lu Xuanji frowned, "In at most two hundred years, I will be trying for the Golden Core Ninth Transformation. In such a short span, it’s extremely challenging for Ning Xue to achieve the Golden Core and nearly impossible for Nascent Soul!"
"Two hundred years may be impossible, but two thousand years!"
Jin Xi said, "In the Chaos Hall, there lies a Time Array. Upon activation, time can accelerate tenfold. Under the accelerated time, Ning Xue has enough time to break through to the Golden Core, or even the Nascent Soul! So that in two hundred years, when you attempt the Golden Core Tenth Transformation, Ning Xue will have also reached the Nascent Soul Realm, providing better support!"
"What are the drawbacks of the Time Acceleration Array?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"There aren’t just drawbacks, there are plenty!" Jin Xi said, "In the Time Acceleration Array, spending two hundred years is indeed two hundred real years; one’s lifespan would decrease by two hundred years. The Time Acceleration Array merely shortens the required time in reality, not the time needed for a cultivator’s cultivation; that’s the first drawback!"
