Chapter 932: Chapter 3 Mind Connection

True Yuan transitions from Purple Essence to the color of jade, symbolizing a process of purification.

Everything consists of Yin and Yang, which originated from the moment Pangu created heaven and earth, with the turbid Qi descending as Yin and the clear Qi ascending as Yang. Most things in the current world are a mixture of both clear and turbid. A cultivator who aims to defy the natural order seeks to purge and refine all the murky Yin from their True Yuan, transforming it into an impeccable Pure Yang, before finally achieving ascension.

Compared to Purple Essence, jade-colored True Yuan contains a higher proportion of Pure Yang, which is why it can form a higher grade Golden Core. The principle is understood by all; the challenge is that the murky Yin and Pure Yang within True Yuan are intertwined intricately. The traditional Taoist advice is to practice patiently–repeatedly refining True Yuan again and again, and after roughly three sixty-year cycles, one can achieve the purity required to form a top-grade Golden Core.

The String-Pulling Technique offers a second option.

Men possess Primordial Yang, and women hold Primordial Yin. If a Secret Technique is used to merge them, wrapping the surrounding True Yuan into a sphere before breaking it open, the True Yuan’s Pure Yang content, carried by Primordial Yang, will ascend, while the murky Yin, dragged by Primordial Yin, will descend. This temporarily separates the Pure Yang and murky Yin within the Dantian.

The great master who created this Secret Technique clearly drew inspiration from the myth of Pangu forging heaven and earth. With such ambition and vision, they truly deserve the title of “unprecedented.”

Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen maintain a close embrace, with no time to do anything else, each forming the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top spell with their hands. Both were initially nubile youths, now with Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin in their foundational state, exceptional and unmatched, quickly linking up to Circulate the Heavens with the Tether Silk Ring.

Yang ascends, and Yin descends, separating the clear from the turbid!

As the Secret Technique advances forcefully, the proportion of jade color in the True Yuan greatly increases, causing great joy for both, setting aside their previous competition to cooperate fully.

It is said that when Dual Cultivation is cultivated deeply, it can allow each party’s intentions to resonate. But to reach such a level, both sides must have enough understanding and tacit agreement.

As for Yan Yu’s understanding of Zhao Yuanzhen, there’s no need to elaborate–the enchantress’s thought process isn’t difficult to grasp, especially with her experiences from a past life as a reference, clear as fire, evident as the lines on one’s palm. Although Zhao Yuanzhen doesn’t have knowledge of two lifetimes like Yan Yu, her mind nevertheless harbors the observations of her husband–a grudge noted today, a resentment recorded tomorrow–her understanding has also become quite profound without realizing it.

Reflected thoughts and emotions, Yan Yu immediately receives the sentiments sent back from the enchantress’s side: half clinging, half anxious.

There’s no need to elaborate on the clinging. From her arrival on the Earth plane, hunted on all sides with enemies everywhere, to now flourishing, Zhao Yuanzhen knows well how much of this is thanks to Yan Yu’s contributions.

The worry is fearing that he may one day tire of her, considering the sheer number of exceptional female cultivators around Yan Yu. Now, even Mei Yingxue has become intimately close to him–how can Zhao Yuanzhen not feel a sense of crisis?

Because she cares, she fears losing him; because she fears, she holds grudges, convincing herself to lessen her dependency, but… such self-deception usually suffices for normal times, yet now, at the climax of Dual Cultivation, every innermost thought of the enchantress is crystal clear to Yan Yu.

Zhao Yuanzhen also knows her thoughts have been seen through by him, no longer speaking, instead pressing her body even closer to his, quietly discerning his feelings for her.

There are feelings, indeed, but perhaps only about ten percent. The remaining ninety percent is desire… Damn it, so you care about my body, is that it?

Upon closer examination, it is not so simple, but rather that the latter is so intense and overwhelming that it nearly renders the former insignificant.

Zhao Yuanzhen is inwardly indignant, yet she can’t help but feel a secret joy, thinking, so he likes my body, which means he likes me too! This thief has quite an eye, hehe, now I know how to deal with you in the future.

The two continue to sit in meditation for Dual Cultivation, working together to transport the Circulating Heavens until the forces of Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin have completely dissipated.

Yan Yu quietly checks his Dantian, finding the jade color proportion to be around fifteen percent. What does fifteen percent represent? Liu Longtao is at seventeen percent, Xie Ruoxi at twenty, and theoretical models suggest both would likely ascend to a top-grade Golden Core; Zhou Hongyu is around thirteen percent, making the probability less than 100%.

In any case, a total victory!

With all plans fulfilled to perfection, Yan Yu is naturally in high spirits, not in a hurry to get out of bed for a bath but instead holding Zhao Yuanzhen comfortably in his arms, half-reclining on the bed.

Zhao Yuanzhen too is extremely content, although how much of that is due to successfully advancing her Golden Core Rank or the genuine intimate relationship formed with Yan Yu, she herself cannot clearly say.

But this does not hinder her from considering herself both as a meritorious consort and a loving wife, softly calling out:

“Husband.”

“What is it?” Yan Yu responds.

“Just calling you.” Zhao Yuanzhen says with a playful smile.

Yan Yu massages her nonchalantly, but the enchantress quickly relaxes her body to make it easier for him.

So obedient!

“Who will be next?” Zhao Yuanzhen asks casually, her tone full of sweet flavor.

“Crossing Tribulation first.” Yan Yu says.

“I hope it’s Ruoxi.” Zhao Yuanzhen starts to whisper her wishes. After all, a chief wife by embedding a bedroom maid at her husband’s side fortifies her status, something that comes naturally to her without needing to be taught, “Ruoxi has always felt very inferior.”

“She doesn’t need to rush for Golden Core Rank,” Yan Yu says placidly.

“Mhm~” Zhao Yuanzhen drawls lazily, “So you can just take a rest, right? Your Primordial Yang is freshly broken through, so forcibly assisting others in cultivation will also hurt your body.”
