Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 579 - 297, Dual cultivation, breakthrough to Mid-stage Nascent Soul

"Junior Brother Chang, why did you leave the Blessed Land? Could it be that your injuries have already healed?"

After Xu Xing left, Yan Luanqing, realizing it only belatedly, looked surprised and wondered.

In the battle at Silver Ring Zhai, both she and Xu Xing had been seriously injured; Xu Xing, in particular, had lost a great deal of Essence Blood. It would take at least several decades for such injuries to heal completely.

"Never mind. Junior Brother Chang has his own considerations. I shouldn't pay too much attention, lest he become annoyed..."

Yan Luanqing shook her Qiufu and continued to circulate her cultivation technique in her meditation room, focusing on healing her injuries.

Using the Teleportation Array, Xu Xing secretly left the Immeasurable Sect. Fully unleashing his Escape Technique, he departed North Yue Country and arrived at Xuan Turtle City on the border of Chu Kingdom.

The most bustling area of Nanyan Continent was not North Yue Country, but the Cultivation World of Chu Kingdom. Xuan Turtle City, as the hub connecting Chu Kingdom with other smaller nations, boasted the most prosperous trade.

In the past, when Xu Xing was below the Nascent Soul Realm, he had managed to conduct intercontinental trade using the Resources of North Yue Country and those of nearby kingdoms. However, now that he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, relying solely on the resources from the Cultivation World of this small corner of North Yue Country was but a drop in the bucket for him.

Thus, after Immortal Lady Dai Ji had gained a general understanding of the various nations' situations while on Small Ring Mountain, she had set off for Xuan Turtle City. There, she had opened several shops to acquire Resources from Nanyan Continent.

Upon entering Xuan Turtle City, Xu Xing made his way to the Spring Harmony Building.

Xu Xing presented his Token to the shopkeeper. After a glance, the shopkeeper had a Maid lead him to the fourth floor of the Spring Harmony Building. As he ascended the stairs to the fourth floor, the defensive Magic Formation there rippled and slowly dissipated.

"Husband~" A sultry and enticing voice, unmistakably Dai Ji's, drifted from the room. "I've already deactivated the array; you can come right in..."

The two had agreed seven years ago, when they parted ways on Small Ring Mountain, that they would commence dual cultivation once their cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak. Their goal was to then achieve a breakthrough to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul in one fell swoop. Therefore, she knew exactly why Xu Xing had come to find her now.

"Immortal Lady Dai Ji..." Xu Xing pushed open the door. The sight that greeted him—Dai Ji reclining against the jade bed, her hand gently lifting the slit of her skirt to reveal a glimpse of her slender, snow-white legs—made his blood surge.

The Female Cultivators of the Red Dust Pavilion, accustomed to entertaining men, were masters at understanding male desires; they knew precisely what actions would most effectively stir a man's passion.

"I hope my Husband will be gentle..." Dai Ji's eyes, shimmering like water, met his. She hooked her arms around Xu Xing's neck, her breath a seductive fragrance as she spoke.

Although the matrons of the Red Dust Pavilion had instructed her in the affairs between men and women, she had striven to remain 'like a lotus emerging from mud, unstained,' to cultivate her value. Thus, this was her first truly intimate encounter with a man, with Xu Xing.

"Of course..."

Inside the house, bathed in the dim candlelight, Xu Xing gazed at Dai Ji's delicate face. A touch of tenderness softened his heart, and he nodded.

「Half a Moment later.」

The ground was strewn with discarded clothing: a crumpled, plain white silk skirt, a lotus-embroidered bellyband, and black silk stockings torn to shreds...

「Several days later.」

Xu Xing, now fully dressed, glanced at Dai Ji sleeping soundly beside the bed. Her unadorned face showed a hint of exhaustion. Her alluring figure, veiled by a thin sheet, rose and fell with her breath, an even more tempting sight.

He hadn't expected that Dai Ji, who had seemed more proactive than him before their dual cultivation, would actually be so inexperienced in the aftermath; she was far less familiar with such matters than he.

"The vistas of the Immortal Path are ultimately about longevity, beauties, and power. Now, I possess all three..." he sighed inwardly.

His feelings for Dai Ji were straightforward: she was a beauty accompanying him on his path to longevity. Having experienced so much, how could his already cool-hearted nature allow him to easily invest emotionally again?

"Just as I expected..." he thought. "After this dual cultivation, my cultivation has broken through with ease..."

Xu Xing inspected his Dantian. The Nascent Soul, originally a three-foot infant, had suddenly grown to over five feet in height. Thanks to the "Yin and Yang Harmony Pact" and the pure Yin Element from Dai Ji's body, he had, in just a few days, advanced a small realm, reaching the Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

"My comprehension of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle has also ascended to a new level..." Xu Xing mused.

His Nascent Soul had not only increased in size, but its smooth, tender skin now bore imprints of Dao Principles shaped like dragons and tigers. These Dao Principle imprints glowed faintly, maturing subtly with each breath the Nascent Soul took.

At the Nascent Soul Early Stage, cultivators were only just beginning to delve into the Dao Principles of heaven and earth. It was already commendable if ordinary cultivators could master the Dao Principles they had nurtured within their Dao Pill Realm. However, in Immortal Cultivation, one's Realm is fundamental. Upon reaching the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, the Dao Principles within the body will continuously fuse with the Nascent Soul. This step is known as "Dao integrated with body."

"It's a pity. Only you, my Husband, have achieved a breakthrough, while Concubine is still a little short..." Dai Ji murmured, waking from her slumber. She glanced at Xu Xing, a hint of disappointment clouding her star-bright eyes.

Even though she too was at the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak, her foundation was far less robust than Xu Xing's. Yet this time, Xu Xing had effortlessly achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation. While her own cultivation had advanced, she hadn't broken through the realm, merely managing to create a small fissure in her bottleneck.

"It's different," Xu Xing said, ceasing his meditation. He drew Dai Ji into his embrace and comforted her, "Although I possess the Golden Crow Immortal Body, I lost my vital Yang essence long ago. Your Yin Element, however, is perfectly preserved. In this dual cultivation, I was the one who gained the greater advantage."

The Taoist Fruits could solidify his constitution, granting him eternal proof of his attainments. However, his vital Yang essence had been lost long before he ever embarked on the path of cultivation—a loss that could never truly be remedied. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"However, from now on, it will be Concubine's turn to reap the benefits, Mr. Xu..." Dai Ji purred, a playful light returning to her eyes.
