Chapter 329: Sun and Moon Reincarnation Technique, The Stir of the Jade Phoenix Spirit Body

Inside the palace, Yun Wanshang was surprised by Lu Changsheng’s response.

She knew her disciple Xiao Xiyue’s situation very well.

Setting a fifty-year deadline was only to help Xiao Xiyue break through her emotional blockages.

As for Lu Changsheng, she never expected much from him.

But Lu Changsheng’s actions surprised her.

He declared that if Xiao Xiyue failed to reach the Golden Core stage within fifty years, he would come and apologize on his own.

If it weren’t for his previous behavior, she would have been quite pleased with his sense of responsibility.

After all, as a Golden Core Immortal, her spiritual perception was sharp. She could tell that Lu Changsheng was sincere and not pretending.

“Does he truly have such deep feelings for Xiyue, or is there something else he relies on?”

Yun Wanshang’s stunning face, with her eyes as cold as water, instinctively glanced at Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level.

“Hmm!? Still in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage? No progress in body tempering either?”

Caiyun Zhenren frowned.

Over ten years ago, Lu Changsheng was already at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, his Dual Cultivation of body and technique was even superior to Xiao Xiyue’s.

Yet after all these years, he hasn’t made any progress?

“Could it be that after founding a family, he became obsessed with women?”

Yun Wanshang immediately suspected that Lu Changsheng, after establishing a family and settling down, had become lax in his cultivation, indulging in pleasures, and neglecting his duties.

After all, she was aware of many cases like this.

Many rogue cultivators, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, felt their lives were complete and half-abandoned their cultivation, indulging in pleasures.

Instantly, a wave of anger surged in her heart, frustrated by his wasted potential!

She thought Lu Changsheng, who clearly had opportunities and a Top-Tier physique, was squandering his potential by indulging in pleasures, wasting himself away.

Although she believed she had no relationship with Lu Changsheng, and this matter had nothing to do with her.

For some reason, she just felt irritated.

“Even if there’s no connection between us, you still possess my Spirit-Connecting Essence!”

“You can be a useless person, but I, Yun Wanshang, will never allow someone who obtained my Spirit-Connecting Essence to become a person who only indulges in pleasures and wastes themselves.”

Yun Wanshang’s slender, jade-like hand clenched tightly, her eyes reflecting an indescribable coldness.

She immediately said coldly to Lu Changsheng, who was outside the Great Hall, “If your slow cultivation hinders Xiyue, I will kill you!”

“???”

Outside the Great Hall, Lu Changsheng was stunned, somewhat confused.

Didn’t Xiyue say that her master was a nice person?

Why is she so domineering!

If Xiao Xiyue can’t break through to the Golden Core stage in fifty years, she’ll kill me.

If my cultivation is slow and affects Xiao Xiyue, she’ll also kill me?

As expected, it’s not easy to marry a disciple of a Golden Core Immortal.

Fortunately, I have a cheat, so I’m not worried at all.

Facing the invisible pressure, Lu Changsheng stood tall and said respectfully, “Please rest assured, Immortal. I won’t delay Xiyue. I will work with her to break through to the Golden Core stage within fifty years!”

“But I also have a request. If Xiyue and I both break through to the Golden Core stage, I hope the Immortal can bless our union.”

Lu Changsheng spoke confidently, neither humble nor arrogant.

Although he was confident that after forming the Golden Core, he would no longer fear Caiyun Zhenren, and she wouldn’t be able to stop him.

However, since she was Xiao Xiyue’s master and an elder, he still needed to show respect.

Besides, there’s an old saying: a love without the blessing of elders is never perfect.

So for Xiao Xiyue’s sake, he hoped to gain Caiyun Zhenren’s approval, blessing, and support.

“Hmm!?”

Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes were sharp, and her frown deepened. She couldn’t understand where Lu Changsheng’s confidence came from, to dare to claim that he and Xiao Xiyue would break through to the Golden Core stage together within fifty years.

Although in the early years, his cultivation was faster than Xiao Xiyue’s.

But Xiao Xiyue was practicing the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique. As long as she could overcome her emotional tribulation, she could quickly obtain the materials for the Golden Core and Condensing Crystal Pill through the Azure Cloud Sect.

But as for him, a family cultivator, it was impossible for him to obtain the Condensing Crystal Pill!

At most, he could spend a fortune collecting one or two Golden Core spirit materials from the outside.

This is why it’s so difficult for rogue cultivators to advance!

They have to rely entirely on themselves.

During the Qi Condensation stage, they have to work hard for a Foundation Establishment Pill and Foundation Establishment spirit materials.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, they have to work hard for a Condensing Crystal Pill and Golden Core spirit materials!

Many rogue cultivators might spend their entire lives working hard, only to end up with nothing, or worse, perish in the wilderness with no one to bury them.

But since Lu Changsheng said so, she didn’t argue further. Her voice was cold and indifferent as she said, “If you can break through to the Golden Core stage within fifty years, I won’t interfere with your relationship with Xiyue.”

“At that time, if Xiyue is willing, I can personally hold a Daoist couple ceremony for you two!”

“But if you fail, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Yun Wanshang’s stunning face was expressionless, her cold and melodious voice carrying the authority of someone in power.

For Xiao Xiyue to break through the third layer of the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique, she must overcome her emotional barriers.

Once she overcomes her emotional barriers, even if she doesn’t forget Lu Changsheng, she will be able to view this relationship calmly.

At that point, the chances of the two of them staying together are slim.

If they do manage to stay together and both break through to the Golden Core stage, as her master, she wouldn’t interfere anymore.

After all, reaching this level in cultivation means the path ahead no longer requires others’ interference.

“Thank you, Immortal!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately bowed in gratitude toward the Great Hall.

He thought to himself that although she was a bit domineering, she was still a reasonable person.

There was no response from inside the Great Hall.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the silent Great Hall, then turned to Lu Changsheng, feeling touched in her heart.

She believed that Lu Changsheng had a chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage within fifty years, but she wasn’t confident about herself.

“Don’t worry, I’m here for everything.”

Lu Changsheng held Xiao Xiyue’s fair, jade-like hand, his face gentle as he softly reassured her.

“Xiyue, remember to head to the Luoyun Mountain Range soon.”

At that moment, a cold, authoritative female voice echoed from within the hall, accompanied by a breeze that swept the two of them out of the Great Hall.

Although Yun Wanshang reluctantly agreed to the two of them.

Watching the two of them so deeply in love, especially seeing Lu Changsheng wooing her disciple, made her feel irritated and uncomfortable.

Even though she didn’t want to be the kind of person who breaks up a couple, she just couldn’t stand it. She felt that out of sight, out of mind was the best solution.

“Yes, Master!”

Xiao Xiyue lightly bit her lip and bowed toward the palace at the mountain peak.

Although she didn’t get her master’s approval today.

After today’s conversation, she understood her master’s attitude.

As long as it didn’t interfere with her cultivation, she could openly be with Lu Changsheng without having to hide.

However, the fifty-year deadline added a sense of urgency to her heart.

“Changsheng, my master isn’t usually like this. Don’t take it to heart.”

At this moment, Xiao Xiyue explained to Lu Changsheng.

She believed that her master’s attitude today was unusual, entirely because she was too disappointed in her.

“It’s okay. The Immortal is doing this for your own good.”

“Besides, the Immortal is reasonable. If we both break through to the Golden Core stage, she’ll even hold a ceremony for us.”

Lu Changsheng smiled as he spoke, not feeling too concerned.

After all, he was a father himself.

He completely understood her behavior.

If a talented disciple he had trained for years ended up being entangled with a man like this!

If it ruined her cultivation, and her path forward was lost, how could you compensate for that!

If it were his own daughter, Lu Changsheng thought he would have drawn his sword already.

“By the way, what technique did the Immortal give you?”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked at the technique in Xiao Xiyue’s hand and asked.

He remembered that Caiyun Zhenren had said the technique was for the two of them to cultivate together.

“Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.”

Xiao Xiyue looked curiously at the Jade Slip in her hand.

But when she glanced at the content, her jade-like face flushed slightly.

She didn’t expect her master to give her a Dual Cultivation technique and ask her to cultivate it with Lu Changsheng.

This… this…

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng was curious.

Xiao Xiyue didn’t say anything and handed the Jade Slip to Lu Changsheng.

“Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, circulating one’s Spiritual Energy, collecting the sun’s soul and the moon’s essence, transforming it into a great elixir within the body, cultivated through Dual Cultivation of yin and yang, the union of Kan and Li.”

As Lu Changsheng explored the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense and saw the contents of the technique, he immediately understood why Xiao Xiyue had reacted this way.

He put away the Jade Slip, his face gentle, and said with a smile, “Since the Immortal has this intention, we should study and cultivate it well, striving to break through to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible.”

“Mm.”

Xiao Xiyue softly responded.

Then, the two of them went to Xiao Xiyue’s residence, Mingyue Pavilion.

The entire hall was spacious and simple, with only two servant disciples in the courtyard.

As core disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, they could choose servants from the outer sect to handle their chores.

“Miss.”

The two girls were shocked as if they had seen a ghost when they saw their lady bringing a man here.

However, Xiao Xiyue calmly and indifferently told them that this was her friend who had come to discuss Dao, and she asked them to make arrangements.

Naturally, the two girls didn’t dare to say or ask more.

After all, by choosing to become servants, they were almost bound to the core disciples for life!

If the core disciple became a sect elder or steward in the future, they could also become a steward.

After entering the Cave Dwelling, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue didn’t discuss Dao but instead studied the technique in the Jade Slip together.

After a long time.

The two of them roughly understood why Caiyun Zhenren gave them this technique.

Because the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra was truly profound and mysterious.

It not only benefited both sides in cultivation but also helped in breaking through realms.

Moreover, it involved the soul, mental state, and Dao comprehension, making it a Top-Tier Dual Cultivation technique.

Even from Lu Changsheng’s perspective, this technique was incredibly advanced, far surpassing his Love-binding Technique.

“This Caiyun Zhenren probably wants Xiyue to use this technique to compensate for the mental state issues of the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He knew that the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique placed great importance on one’s mental state.

And when one reaches a certain level in this technique, it allows Dual Cultivation of the soul and consciousness, entering a mystical state of spiritual connection!

In this state, it’s as if two people experience a lifetime together in a dream, like reincarnation.

This greatly benefits the mental state and Dao comprehension.

“But this technique seems a bit difficult.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the intricacies of the technique, feeling a bit of a headache.

Besides spending time in his early years cultivating the Return Yuan Technique, Fireball Technique, and other basic techniques, he had never seriously studied any other techniques.

All his techniques relied on system inheritance.

He had only briefly studied the Purple Mansion Divine Nourishing Technique and the Soul Scattering Formation from the Red Luan True Scripture.

But these two techniques were only at an introductory level, and he hadn’t yet mastered them profoundly.

However, the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra was incredibly complicated.

It first required sensing the essence of the sun and the moon, collecting the sun’s soul and the moon’s essence within the body, transforming them into a great elixir.

After completing this step, one had to merge yin and yang, unite Kan and Li, forming a yin-yang wheel, harmonizing and coexisting, thereby evolving the sun and moon within the body, and then producing a mysterious pearl with the cauldron of the sun and moon, etc.

This process also required the two people to be in harmony, with their cultivation levels as close as possible, among many other strict conditions.

If there was the slightest mistake, all previous efforts would be wasted. Lu Changsheng found it somewhat daunting, worried that he might not keep up with Xiao Xiyue’s progress.

“This Top-Tier Dual Cultivation technique is even more demanding and difficult than ordinary techniques.”

“Did Caiyun Zhenren not consider whether I could master it when she gave it to us?”

Lu Changsheng said with some helplessness.

However, with the technique in front of him, he naturally couldn’t back down.

He then discussed the Dao with Xiao Xiyue while drinking tea, carefully studying the details of the technique.

Once they comprehended the first layer of the technique, they began to cultivate.

“Keep the Dao in mind, do not let the mind waver, and in an instant, all things are empty. The sun’s soul is the Golden Crow, the moon’s essence is the Jade Rabbit, and when emotions and nature are in harmony, they unite.”

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue sat cross-legged facing each other, reciting the opening words of the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, calming their minds, and preparing to sense the essence of the sun and the moon, collecting the sun’s soul and the moon’s essence.

Time passed slowly, and Lu Changsheng gradually calmed his mind, entering the state.

He felt as though everything around him was an illusion, with a sun and a moon hanging in the sky.

The sun’s soul was the Jade Rabbit’s fat, and the moon’s essence was the Golden Crow’s marrow, which he gathered within the cauldron, transforming them into a pool of water!

Lu Changsheng envisioned himself as a golden cauldron, absorbing the sun’s soul and refining it into a great elixir within his body.

But as he continued to gather and absorb the sun’s soul, the moon across from him suddenly trembled, causing the sun and moon in the sky to vanish, and Lu Changsheng felt as if he had just awakened from a dream, opening his eyes.

“Changsheng, I’m sorry.”

Xiao Xiyue opened her beautiful eyes and apologized with some embarrassment.

It was her first time cultivating this technique, and she wasn’t familiar with the process.

As a result, she made a mistake while collecting the sun’s soul and the moon’s essence, affecting Lu Changsheng and interrupting their cultivation.

“Hmm!?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit stunned, somewhat confused.

He didn’t expect that during their cultivation, it was Xiao Xiyue who made the mistake, while he had been progressing smoothly.

What’s going on?

Could it be that he has an innate talent for Dual Cultivation techniques, grasping them instantly?

But there were still many parts of this technique that he didn’t fully understand, only grasping the general principles.

“It’s okay, we’ll get it after a few more tries.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, speaking in a warm tone.

Then, the two of them resumed their cultivation.

Throughout the process, Lu Changsheng became more and more skilled, gaining a deeper understanding of the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

He even started to draw parallels with the Yin-Yang Harmonization Technique in his mind, continually improving his understanding of both techniques.

This surprised Lu Changsheng.

He didn’t know if it was because of his Spirit Body or if he was naturally suited for these kinds of techniques, but he was mastering it incredibly quickly.

When Xiao Xiyue encountered problems again, causing their cultivation to be interrupted, Lu Changsheng shared his insights, pointing out her mistakes.

This left Xiao Xiyue feeling both ashamed and full of admiration as she looked at Lu Changsheng with her beautiful eyes.

In the past, her master had praised her for her excellent comprehension.

But now, her comprehension was nothing compared to Lu Changsheng’s.

This made her feel astonished, proud of her lover’s unparalleled comprehension.

Lu Changsheng felt a bit smug as Xiao Xiyue looked at him with such admiration and worship.

After all, whether it was Talisman Making or refining pills in the past, he had achieved success through his own efforts.

But it didn’t feel as satisfying as this, achieving success through his own talent.

Thus, under Lu Changsheng’s continuous guidance and teaching, Xiao Xiyue gradually entered the right state, and the two of them entered a mystical state together.

It was as if a sun and a moon appeared above their heads, forming an invisible cauldron that slowly began to burn, transforming into a great elixir.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng naturally proceeded to the next step.

He circulated the sun’s soul and the moon’s essence through the body’s orifices, blending and circulating them, and then passed them into Xiao Xiyue’s body.

“Mmm~”

Xiao Xiyue softly moaned, immediately stabilizing her mind, and circulated the great elixir, the sun’s soul and the moon’s essence, along with her Spiritual Energy and Dao Foundation, transforming them into something soft, smooth, and sweet, slowly passing it back into Lu Changsheng’s mouth.

This essence of the great elixir felt like the perfect harmony of yin and yang, circulating back and forth, continuously nurturing their physiques and Spiritual Energy, making them feel completely comfortable.

As their cultivation became more fluid and inseparable, the invisible cauldron above their heads flickered, rotating slowly like the sun and moon.

Soon, the sound of rustling fabric could be heard.

Green robes and moon-white skirts slipped to the side as the two of them began the true Dual Cultivation, the union of yin and yang.

During this process, for some reason, Lu Changsheng felt as if it were second nature, skillful and natural.

Although Xiao Xiyue had been married to Lu Changsheng for many years.

Maintaining a calm mind and circulating the technique during the tingling, electric-like sensations was challenging and awkward.

Fortunately, with Lu Changsheng guiding the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, the two of them barely formed the yin-yang wheel state.

Who knows how much time passed.

The two of them completed their first round of cultivation.

“Buzz——”

At that moment, both Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s Dao Foundations trembled.

It seemed as if an inexplicable force blossomed silently during their Dual Cultivation, forming an indescribable state, faintly sensing an opportunity for soul fusion, a profound experience.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue both opened their eyes and looked at each other.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue’s jade-like skin glowed with a soft light, her face flushed with a faint blush, and she looked shyly at Lu Changsheng.

“Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng gently embraced her, his hand softly caressing her jade-like body, calming the lingering sensations.

After a long time, he sighed and said, “This Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra is truly profound. We’ve only just begun cultivating it, and it’s already showing such effects.”

He and Xiao Xiyue had just completed the first step of Dual Cultivation, the union of yin and yang.

It would take at least forty-nine rounds of Dual Cultivation to form the state of harmonized coexistence, gradually evolving the sun and moon within the body, reaching the stage of producing the mysterious pearl with the cauldron, and so on.

But just after the first round, not only did his cultivation slightly improve, but he also felt that he had undergone a kind of purification.

Knowing that with this technique, the chances of him breaking through to the Golden Core stage and forming a High-Tier Golden Core, no, a Top-Tier Golden Core, had increased significantly!

“Mm.”

Xiao Xiyue gently nodded, also feeling the profoundness of this technique.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she softly said, “If it weren’t for you, Changsheng, I would have struggled to circulate the technique.”

Xiao Xiyue pointed out the issues she encountered during their cultivation.

Although they completed a round of Dual Cultivation, the process wasn’t perfect.

If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng’s guidance, Xiao Xiyue felt she would have fallen short in many aspects.

This made her realize even more how talented and gifted Lu Changsheng was.

“Xiyue, the Immortal said we should focus on cultivating this Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, so we must make good use of our time.”

After a brief moment of tenderness, Lu Changsheng, with his hand still caressing her smooth, supple skin, gazed into the eyes of the beautiful fairy in front of him, and softly spoke.

Then, with a soft breath and the rotation of the sun and moon, the two of them began again, merging like water and milk, yin and yang intertwining.

Meanwhile, at the top of Caiyun Peak.

“Hmm!?”

Yun Wanshang slowly opened her beautiful eyes from meditation, her stunning, noble face showing a hint of confusion.

Just a moment ago, she felt a faint, inexplicable stir.

This stir was very faint, very faint.

Even she couldn’t immediately identify where it came from.

But as a Golden Core Immortal, she wouldn’t feel such a stir for no reason if nothing had happened.

“What’s going on?”

Yun Wanshang frowned, checking herself over but couldn’t find the source.

She closed her beautiful eyes again, meditating to adjust her state.

Several hours later, Yun Wanshang suddenly opened her eyes.

Just a moment ago, she felt that faint, inexplicable stir again.

But this stir was still very faint, and she still couldn’t find the source.

“Could someone be divining my situation?”

Yun Wanshang’s eyes, cold and full of suspicion, wondered if someone was secretly plotting against her.

But the next moment, she dismissed that thought.

If someone were divining her, it would usually cause some sort of subtle sensation or feeling.

But this stir was incredibly faint, impossible to trace, unless a Nascent Soul True Lord spent a great price to divine her situation.

“I must find out what’s happening!”

Yun Wanshang formed a hand seal, her soul leaving her body, covering the entire Great Hall, locking onto her physical body, trying to see through the source of this stir.

Since this inexplicable stir had appeared twice, it was likely to appear a third time.

Who knows how much time passed before she finally sensed the stir again.

“This… this is impossible!”

Yun Wanshang captured the source of the stir, her stunning face full of shock, surprise, and disbelief.

She just realized that the stir didn’t come from outside but from within her own body.

It came from her Jade Phoenix Spirit Body!

But her Jade Phoenix Spirit Body, apart from producing a wisp of Spirit-Connecting Essence during her breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, had no other effects.

If there were any effect, it would be that it could continuously nurture the Spirit-Connecting Essence through Dual Cultivation, thereby strengthening it.

“What’s going on?”

Yun Wanshang frowned deeply, her heart filled with confusion.

She couldn’t understand why her Spirit Body would suddenly have this inexplicable stir.

“Could it be…”

She seemed to think of something, and her Divine Sense suddenly looked toward Mingyue Pavilion, where Xiao Xiyue resided, on the mountainside of Caiyun Peak.
