Chapter 311: Chapter 310: Time Saber, Ning Xue Attains Dao in the Purple Mansion (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
"What’s the name of this saber strike?"
Long Xuan asked.
"Time Saber!"
Lu Xuanji said flatly. Activating Time Saber, he only accelerated twice, yet still defeated Long Xuan with one move.
"You’re very strong!"
Long Xuan said, without hysteria, without anger or resentment, only calmness and melancholy.
As if in an instant, she lost Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
She turned and vanished.
At that moment, Jin Xi appeared, just in time to see Long Xuan’s lost expression.
"She lost!"
Jin Xi asked.
"Yes!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
"How many moves did it take to defeat her?" Jin Xi asked, "Was it ten moves or three?"
"Just one move?"
Lu Xuanji said.
"One move!" Jin Xi was slightly surprised, as if getting to know someone anew, "What was the move?"
"Just this move!"
Lu Xuanji drew the saber again, the long saber striking down, and it was so fast it reached the pinnacle.
But Jin Xi’s finger tapped, touching the long saber, which shattered into scattered energy.
However, Jin Xi’s finger was also cut, with a drop of blood dripping down.
"Such a fast saber!"
Jin Xi said, "Long Xuan couldn’t withstand this saber strike. It’s not her fault; it’s because you’re too fast!"
"What’s wrong with her? I hope I didn’t shatter her Daoxin with one saber strike!"
Lu Xuanji said, faintly regretting.
But without using Time Saber, without using the killing move, it might not have been possible to defeat Long Xuan within a hundred moves.
What seemed like one saber strike earlier was actually a hundred strikes condensed into one.
"Don’t worry, I’ll comfort her later!" Jin Xi said calmly, "Heavenly tribulation, human tribulation, life tribulation. Whether it’s her human tribulation or life tribulation, who knows!"
...
Moments later, the two returned to the Chaos Hall.
"Greetings, Master!"
At this time, Ning Xue stepped forward, speaking respectfully.
At this moment, her aura was as strong as the sea, her Qi and blood as long as the tides, and her True Qi as pure as flame. She was already at the half-step Purple Mansion Realm, just a thread away from entering the Purple Mansion.
"The Time Acceleration Array is truly profound!"
Lu Xuanji said, "In just twenty years, you’ve reached the peak of Foundation Establishment; the pace is fast."
"For small bottlenecks, time acceleration can work, but for major bottlenecks, it won’t. Breaking through to the Purple Mansion requires enduring many tribulations, especially the Nightmare Wind and Karma Fire Tribulations which are extremely dangerous. I can’t help with that; instead, you’ll need to intervene!" Jin Xi said, "I sense that you have a top-tier Dual Cultivation Technique, and True Qi dual cultivation can help her refine True Qi and hone her foundation!"
"It’s up to you here!"
With that, she vanished.
In the hall, only the two remained.
Lu Xuanji asked, "Ning Xue, how have you been all these years?"
"Not bad, just training in the Time Acceleration Array can be somewhat tedious, and sometimes I feel a bit agitated!" Ning Xue said, "And I’ve missed you, Master. In the array, I spent fifty years reaching Foundation Establishment, and one hundred thirty years to reach half-step Purple Mansion."
"Come, let’s go to the bed!"
"Alright!"
Ning Xue nodded, her face blushing.
On the bed, she felt a bit shy, but still untied her belt and removed her outer garment, revealing her beautiful body.
"Wait, why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Master, aren’t we going to dual cultivate? Isn’t dual cultivation where men and women shed their clothes and combine their spirits and bodies to break through bottlenecks?"
"No, we’re doing True Qi dual cultivation. I will infuse my True Qi into your body for a True Qi exchange. True Qi dual cultivation is very beneficial for you; it can help you quickly purify your True Qi, refine your body, and solidify your foundation!"
"It usually takes thirty to fifty years to reach the Purple Mansion, but now, with True Qi dual cultivation, it’ll only take three years."
Lu Xuanji laughed.
Ning Xue blushed, immediately putting on her removed clothes, fastening her belt, and tidying up her garments, feeling an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.
Dual cultivation turned out to be like this; she had misunderstood.
They sat upright on the bed, their palms connected, with Lu Xuanji overseeing everything, beginning to infuse magical power into her body. The magical power contained Pure Yang Qi, which was a great tonic for Ning Xue despite being only a trace.
Ning Xue refined the trace of Pure Yang Qi, merging it with the Pure Yin Qi within her, refining her body and physique, her cultivation slowly rising.
They seemed to be in dual cultivation, but their quantities were fundamentally different, like an ocean and a lake.
The ocean poured into the lake, and just a sliver of water was enough to overflow the lake, even risking collapse.
During this dual cultivation, Lu Xuanji had to carefully control the Pure Yang Qi, slowly and steadily injecting it into Ning Xue’s body, preventing excessive force so the Pure Yang Qi wouldn’t flood and overwhelm her body.
With the inflow of Pure Yang Qi, the perfect fusion with Pure Yin Qi was transforming into supreme creation.
Ning Xue’s cultivation was steadily advancing.
True Qi compressed, starting from the Eighth Layer, down to the Seventh, Sixth, Fifth, and finally compressed to the Fourth.
This was a painstaking process, requiring ten or twenty years for ordinary cultivators, but Ning Xue completed it in just three months.
Then, she opened the meridians throughout her body, major meridians, small meridians, and minute meridians, quickly and steadily;
Gradually, she also unlocked the acupoints throughout her body, major acupoints, minor acupoints, minute acupoints;
As her body moved towards flawlessness, the power of Qi and blood within her body nourished her Divine Soul, refining it, and the Divine Soul rapidly evolved, soon completing its transformation.
Nightmare Wind and Celestial Fire swept in, but the tribulations lasted less than ten breaths before being easily dissolved, absorbed into her body as a supplement.
Woo-woo-woo-woo!
At this moment, the tribulation of the Purple Mansion was mostly over, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured down.
Spiritual Qi poured in, washing marrow and shaving hair;
Spiritual Qi poured in, transforming the body.
In this state, she was infinitely close to the Great Dao, her enlightenment of the Dao unprecedentedly enhanced.
After ten more breaths, the downpour of Spiritual Qi ended.
Mind inquiry difficult, path journey difficult, destiny difficult, cause and effect difficult. Concerning the mysterious cause and effect in fate, even Lu Xuanji couldn’t fathom it, leaving it to oneself.
Ning Xue’s mind was hazy, undergoing a tribulation.
But after just staying for three breaths, her mind became clear again, and the tribulation was over.
Whew, whew!
Ning Xue’s body shimmered, floating in the void, standing silently, immersed in the realization of the Dao, unable to extricate herself.
Each time a Great Realm is broken through, the mind becomes extraordinarily active, and the comprehension of the Dao is greatly enhanced.
After three days, Ning Xue came back from this state.
Her feet landed on the ground, her expression joyful, with a hint of newfound confidence rising within her.
Cultivation is the foundation of confidence. In past times, due to insufficient cultivation, whether facing Lu Xuanji or Jin Xi, there was a slight inferiority, speech was humble, and speaking lacked courage.
