Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 739: Understatement of the century



After sending everyone off on their assignments, Wu Long went to seek out his ladies.

Only Luo Mingyu, Shen Min and Xue Bing were currently unable to dual cultivate with him, so he abstained from a group cultivation so that they did not feel left out, inviting his women one by one.

He knew of a way to stabilize an Extreme Yin Physique, he was, after all, one of the most competent experts in matters of Harmonic Roots and Harmonic Qi.

However, the methods that were useful were not exactly the best course of action in this particular case.

As each Extreme Yin Physique was unique, and the ones his three ladies had were of the more powerful kind, they inherently had properties that would be lost or suppressed by using methods designed not specifically for them.

If it was someone who was troubled by their physique, who had no relationship with him, and was asking him for help, he would have offered the method he knew without much second thought.

But for his own ladies, he wanted the best possible outcome, which was the natural realization of their own powers and adjustment. They had to learn to control their physique on their own, only then could they wield its benefits to their fullest.

Basically, there was no shortcut that was harmless to future prospects.

After cultivating with his Dao Family, he had Fen Baihu's cooperation to bring out the Ice Fairies of the Frozen Garden Palace in small groups to cultivate with him. Since they had a proper Spiritual Land now, not only he could cultivate, but those around him as well, so he provided them with sufficient Yang Qi to do so.

Of course, as he already warned everyone, the cultivation of those in Seven Profound Realms was not to increase their cultivation base but to consolidate what they achieved up to now.

It was the first time for him in his current life, when he had the chance of absorbing that much Yin Qi of cultivators in Essence Awakening Realm, which made him excited.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Having all this immense and abundant energy felt like an unbelievable luxury to him.

He never had this luxury at this stage of cultivation in his past life, rather, most of his previous cultivation path he had to struggle to obtain even basic things.

With that much Yin Qi, and a powerful Spiritual Land to draw Spiritual Qi from, he was finally ready to make a breakthrough that had to be postponed because of the Grandmist Keepsake.

For that, however, he left the fortress and arrived on a separate mountain that was much like the Tribulation Grounds, still within the Grand Formation.

There was a small three-story pagoda tower, hidden amid boulders and sparse vegetation, created for this purpose specifically, with formations and restrictions almost as strong as those of the Grand Formation itself.

On the inside though, it was just one big room.

He activated the barriers, as he fully expected to cause some damage to the area if he did not make these precautions, and then sat in the middle, on a large praying mat, in a lotus position once more.

"First, let's test it out...", he thought as before attempting a breakthrough to the Mortal Transcendence Realm he wanted to check a theory of his.

The way the Celestial Core became a completely different entity with different properties gave him an idea.

He still had some of Song Lingfei's Yin Qi left from last time, and he just added all of what she had accumulated since the last time they cultivated, not to mention that he still had her Pure Yin Qi stored away, since he did not have the chance to use it up.

He started cultivating another of the numerous vortices in the Spiritual Ring around the Grandmist Core with just Song Lingfei's Yin Qi, while trying to stimulate the bloodline of the Great Void Eagle using his Body Tempering Technique.

His thoughts lingered on the Blood Rune for a moment, but for now he did not know much about it, only bits and pieces, that were not helpful in this situation.

It originally excited him when he learned that as a passive ability, he could obtain information about any bloodline with it, but it seemed to not have the same effect when it came to the two bloodlines he obtained permanently.

Whether that was because those bloodlines were truly part of his own unlike the ones he experimented with, and were therefore not 'foreign', or did it have to do with the bloodlines themselves, there was no way of knowing.

He also theorized that he might lack the comprehension of the Dao that Blood Rune represented for it to work on such powerful bloodlines.

'In any case, my current understanding of the Dao Runes is definitely not satisfactory to say the least', he inwardly grumbled as a reminder to himself to put more effort into that.

Just like with Fen Baihu's Yin Qi at that time, he did not specifically guide it after refining it, letting it form everything naturally, as he felt the bloodline of the Great Void Eagle finally respond to his actions.

After some time, as the vortex he cultivated started forming microscopic crystallizations in the rotating energetic mist of Spiritual Qi, and then started forming the first crystal, it definitely did not resemble a normal Foundation Crystal.

He sighed, realizing that his theory was true, as he had already incorporated a lot of Song Lingfei Yin Qi in his Crystal Core the last time, thus to an extent wasting its potential.

"Which means, I have to get it out of there", a grin then appeared on his face.

Yes, he was not going to just let it go, and planned to restructure the Crystal Core, extracting the portions of his cultivation base made with Song Lingfei's Yin Qi, and sub-planting them with the abundant resources he had now.

He was fairly familiar with cultivation base restructuring techniques, after all, there was a time in his past when he had to do it in almost every Major Realm.

'But before I do... let's check so that I don't have to do it all over again...', he inwardly chuckled, partly in jest.

Even if he was in a sense a master of that incredibly dangerous and tedious process, he still didn't want to do it several times in a row if he could help it.

He first spent all of Song Lingfei's Yin Qi that he currently had on constructing the Foundation Crystals further, forming seven in the end.

And then concentrated on a different vortex, cultivating the Yin Qi he got from members of the Frozen Garden Palace using the Bahshi Ghost Emperor Codex.

And after some time went by, he clicked his tongue, both in excitement and frustration.

'I don't know exactly the process, but the energy entering the Spiritual Qi Ring around the Grandmist Core is able to retain some of its characteristics, and even techniques can form unique cores instead of normal ones', he mused as he was examining the vortex he just cultivated, than now had a bit of black crystallizations giving off the aura of the Bahshi Ghost Codex swirling within it.

Upon testing the other two Supreme Cultivation Methods, he confirmed the results there as

well.

He was now certain of a theory that gradually grew in his mind regarding the Grandmist Core. "Hah, it was so obvious, and yet I only got to this conclusion now...", he chuckled in a bit of a

daze.

The identity of the herefore mysterious Grandmist Core, was a representation of his third Chaos technique, Chaos Harmonic Nexus Art that allowed him to combine the various, even opposing cultivation methods.

It quite literally became a Chaos Nexus, a core of Chaos. And the Spiritual Qi Ring around it was its field of influence.

The Grandmist Keepsake did not just make an unknown change that had nothing to do with what he had, it acted as a catalyst of change. If he did not possess anything noteworthy, it would be likely that this change would have been minimal. In his case though, it amplified the Chaos Harmonic Nexus Art, elevating it to another level where it actually was able to create

separate cores.

'Wait...', he then suddenly paused, '...No, if it's able to refine energies and retain their effect and then apply it to the cores...', his mind grew numb as he realized that the conclusion he came to before was not entirely correct either.

If he was correct, the Grandmist Core, was a fusion of the Chaos Harmonic Nexus Art, Chaos Refining Body Tempering Art, and quite possibly the Chaos Origin Eyes.

It all clicked together, since it possessed abilities of both first chaos techniques, and the possibility of the Grandmist Keepsake reacting with techniques closest in nature to its own

was high.

It was all just a conjecture, but as soon as he connected the dots, the high likelihood of this theory being true became more and more apparent.

"Haa~, well, guess there's quite a bit of work", Wu Long sighed, making an understatement of the century, since he had to dig quite deep into his cultivation base to extract the parts that had unique properties or made with one of the three Supreme Cultivation Methods.

It was not only massive work, but also an investment of resources, since he did have to put something in place of what he took away, so that his cultivation base doesn't collapse on itself. Thus he was going to use the Yin Qi he had in abundance now.

But in his view, it was a worthwhile investment. Since this allowed him to make a complete overhaul of his cultivation with new benefits.

Of course, he could think like that because he also still had enough resources to not worry about breaking through to Mortal Transcendence after, since what he had to replace were minor portions of his cultivation base, all relatively well-isolated.
