The withered shell, the exhausted vitality, under the continuous infusion of Essence, comes alive once again.

The skin and flesh start to become firm and taut, the hair turns smooth and flowing...

Even the muddled consciousness becomes clear and transparent.

"Uh..."

Li Shu raises her slender neck, her limbs tense, her beautiful eyes misty, a complex array of emotions surging in her mind.

The joy of rebirth, the shyness of romance, and various past memories... all rising to the forefront.

"Calm your mind and focus."

Fang Zheng’s voice is steady and forceful, his movements exuding masculine energy:

"Once the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Exchange Method is interrupted, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Li Shu’s mind alerts, she hastily suppresses distractions, silently operating the Dharma Gate.

This method is led by Fang Zheng, she just needs to cooperate alongside him. As their breaths gradually merge, anomalies begin to appear.

A Mage to a Master, a Martial Artist to a Martial Sect, though the distance is but one step, the difference is as vast as heaven and earth.

Breaking through is extremely difficult.

Even with Fang Zheng’s profound foundation, he still needs to take a Three Treasures Pill for protection, with the possibility of failure still looming.

Ordinary Flawless Martial Artist,

Only one out of a hundred can succeed.

Yet the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Harmony Technique, as long as the requirements are met, can even allow two Mages to advance together.

This skill,

Is considered the supreme method for breaking through in the Buddhist realm!

It is Fang Zheng’s first attempt as well, gradually understanding the mystique therein.

The two immerse their spirits in the harmony of Yin and Yang, consciousness elevated, bodies merging, a sudden tremor in the Sea of Consciousness.

Vast and indistinct.

As the leader, Fang Zheng seems to perceive the fluctuation of Li Shu’s thoughts, subtly influencing them.

At this moment,

He could even distort Li Shu’s will, completely transforming her into his puppet, rewriting her understanding.

And not just that.

Everything about Li Shu since her birth, Fang Zheng can perceive completely if he wishes, leaving no secrets.

"Distractions!"

"Trying to unsettle my mind!"

Fang Zheng’s eyes focus, instantly suppressing the distractions in his heart, continuing to delve deeper into the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Harmony Technique.

Time passes.

At a certain moment.

"Mmm!"

Li Shu lets out a muffled hum, her body trembles immensely, and her physique, already at its limit, bursts forth with abundant vitality once more.

Oh?

Fang Zheng’s eyes flicker.

What’s going on?

This time he can confirm, it’s not due to himself.

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

No time to think further, with the sudden surge of vitality, Li Shu’s cultivation barrier shatters violently.

Martial Sect!

Martial Arts Grandmaster!

A breakthrough others long for appears so unexpectedly.

With the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Harmony Technique, Li Shu not only survives but also triggers the potential within her to break through her realm.

It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

Fang Zheng’s eyes show surprise, planning to withdraw.

Now he’s no longer needed, Li Shu’s vitality is stable, and she is saved.

However, his own cultivation has plummeted, as if drained of Essence, True Qi, and Spirit, though retaining the Martial Sect level, he will need over ten years of secluded cultivation to recover.

"Don’t move!"

At this moment, Li Shu suddenly speaks, reaching out to embrace him, her long, white yet powerful arm pulling him tightly, leaving no gap between their bodies.

In the next moment.

"Swish!"

A gleam of light emerges from Li Shu’s dantian, an expansive Spiritual Light instantly illuminating the two completely.

Within the Spiritual Light, an item flies out.

Its color is dark yellow, exuding an ancient aura, unexpectedly a set of Armor.

Helmet, breastplate, bracers, skirt armor...

Thirteen pieces of Armor form a whole, the design is somewhat rustic and unremarkable, only the front chest showing traces of being carved by blade and axe, indicating this Armor has long been battle-worn, enduring countless bloody battles.

Ancient treasure—Demon-Extinguishing Spirit Armor!

Suddenly,

A thought rises in Fang Zheng’s mind, instantly knowing the name and capabilities of this Armor.

Wearing this Armor, one can soar to the heavens, vanish without a trace, and withstand any peril, including attacks on the Divine Soul...

It can augment monstrous strength, it can emit light to destroy Evil Gods...

Even a mere Flawless Martial Artist, wearing this Armor, can crush Martial Sect and even Masters.

An ordinary Martial Sect wearing this Armor can instantly become a top expert below the level of Rogue Immortal.

At the same time.

The experiences, knowledge, and Martial Dao of the previous owner of the Demon-Extinguishing Spirit Armor flood into Li Shu’s mind.

Blood Battle Eight Techniques!

Demon-Slaying Spear!

Taiyin Mysterious Soldiers Array!

Celestial Flight Technique!

...

And,

Giant Spirit Divine Skill!

The two are still within the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Harmony Technique, their consciousness connected, allowing Fang Zheng to sense a bit of this.

Unconsciously immersed in it.

"Boom!"

In an instant.

The Demon-Extinguishing Spirit Armor erupts with vast Spiritual Light.

Tremendous aura roars out from its interior, flooding into Li Shu’s limbs and bones, aiding her in muscle and tendon refinement, solidifying her Primordial Spirit.

"Snap, crackle, pop..."

Having already achieved the physique of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it expands once again.

In contrast,

Fang Zheng becomes weak, Li Shu arduously operates the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Harmony Technique, beginning to help him temper his body.

The Dao of Yin and Yang, diminishing excess and supplementing insufficiency.

As of now.

Li Shu is the excess, Fang Zheng is the insufficiency.

Due to the cultivation technique, even some of the Primordial Energy contained within the Demon-Extinguishing Spirit Armor seeps into Fang Zheng’s body.

Uncertain how long it passed.

The two awaken from their muddled state, Li Shu blushing slightly, reaching for clothes to cover herself.

"So that’s how it is."

Fang Zheng conjures a Magical Robe with True Qi, thoughtfully:

"It’s precisely because you harbor the Demon-Extinguishing Spirit Armor within you, under its concealment, that no one can see through the Giant Spirit Divine Skill."

"King Kang is the same."

"Indeed." Li Shu also understands, nodding:

"This Armor must have been placed inside me by an ancestor of the Li Family at my birth, only sensing it upon becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster, truly activating it."
