Cultivation through Skin Making - Chapter 815 282: Three Realms Become One, Preaching the Dao and Sealing the Emperor (Grand Finale) (Part 3)

“Madam, please teach me this technique, once I have completed my cultivation…”

“It’s not that complicated.”

Without further hesitation, Qiu Lianyue suddenly turned and sat astride to merge with Song Yan.

Then, her fingertips lightly drew together, weaving in the void, drawing out golden radiance and wrapping it in silver frost.

Gold and silver chased each other, then slowly merged into both of their bodies, as if the Yin-Yang tightening ring and the red string of fate had bound their Divine Souls completely together.

Time seemed to infinitely slow down and stop, with one breath feeling like a century.

When calm returned, Song Yan could see the fine print of the “Red Dust Barrier Scripture” clearly for the first time. He also felt a peculiar connection with the young lady in front of him, as if they had become one, destined to be Dao companions by the heavens. When they were together, there was a profound sense of peace.

Song Yan was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that the Dual Cultivation Technique only required one party to exert effort.

Even if he lay still, the young lady could forcefully complete it.

Then…then why did she even bother asking?

Qiu Lianyue looked at him with a smile.

As Song Yan’s thoughts stirred, he realized that he could also utilize the Chaos Cyan Lotus, though the consumption to drive it was enormous.

And about his Dao fruit…

Qiu Lianyue’s expression changed, a hint of playful annoyance crossing her face as she playfully hit him, sighing, “Brother Song, now I truly depend on you. I’ve already used the ‘Yin Yang Dust Dao,’ but I still can’t use the power of your Dao fruit. Initially, I planned for you to use my Thirty-Sixth-Grade Chaos Cyan Lotus, and I would use your Dao fruit. Alas, it seems what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is still yours.”

Song Yan: …

This scene did leave him somewhat puzzled.

At first, he thought this matter was a sure thing, that Qiu Lianyue sought to take advantage of his Dao fruit.

But now…

He was the one who benefited completely.

Song Yan couldn’t quite understand what the Saint was up to.

Although it seemed entirely reasonable, as if Qiu Lianyue was making the ultimate investment to avoid sunk costs, but…where in the world do such convenient deals exist?

Song Yan looked back at the “Red Dust Barrier Scripture,” and saw that the words in the scripture were now clear, no longer causing dizziness or confusion.

At that moment, time returned to normal.

Bang!

The door was slammed open!

Qiu Lianyue and Song Yan hurriedly separated, tidying their clothes.

The General’s wife looked at them with a sneer, her gaze sweeping to Qiu Lianyue, then sternly scolding, “To have an illicit affair with a servant, truly…truly…”

“Come people! Lock the two of them in the woodshed, and wait for the General to return for their punishment!”

Quickly, two strong maidservants rushed in, grabbing the pair and sending them to the woodshed, merely saying, “If there is any remorse, you can plead with the madam, who is benevolent and might grant some leniency.”

Several days later…

Rumors of a scandal spread through the General’s Mansion, saying that the second young lady of the Qiu household eloped with a servant.

Upon the General’s return, he was furious and ordered a search, but the two were nowhere to be found, his anger falling upon his wife, chiding her for “oppressing the young and being unable to keep even the household under control.”

The wife was equally speechless, having only intended to subdue the second young lady, holding something over her to make her obedient, yet she didn’t expect that little wild filly to be so reckless, actually eloping with a lover.

Meanwhile, Song Hill’s pair secluded themselves in the mountains for a time, before reentering the Jianghu, which was now seeing a surge of powerful forces, and Immortal powers once only seen in legendary tales were beginning to appear in the world, with intricate and complex causes and effects layered like a web.

Only when the “Red Dust Barrier Scripture” possessed enough power to mask these causes and effects did they take Yu Wang and the others, aboard the Chaos Cyan Lotus, tear open the void, and depart far away.

…

…

The Cyan Lotus sailed through the void, having formed a world within itself, with green mountains and clear waters evolving freely, coming into being and vanishing with a thought…

The two resided in the mountains.

Climbing cliffs, gazing into the distance.

Qiu Lianyue chuckled, “Brother Song, where to from here?”

Song Yan replied, “What does the Saint think?”

Qiu Lianyue said, “Brother Song is mistaken. Now you and I are one, and combined, we are the Saint. So then…where shall we go?”

Song Yan asked, “What do you think?”

Qiu Lianyue pondered, “Since Brother Song evolved a clone using the ‘Celestial Calculation Dao,’ he must wish to hone this cultivation technique diligently, to see the vastness of Sumeru and expand his potential.

It’s just a pity that, as I understand it, when the Three Saints ravaged the Purple Cloud Heaven in ancient times, the ‘Celestial Calculation Dao’ was already fragmented, and Brother Song must have come for it.

However, the ‘Celestial Calculation Dao’ points directly to the Great Dao, and was once the orthodox cultivation technique of the Purple Cloud Heaven. Since the Three Saints acted thus, they must have cut off all retreating paths, and even if there remains a solitary text of that technique, it must be in the hands of the Three Saints.”

As she said this, she sighed softly, “The ‘Celestial Calculation Dao’ is not strictly necessary for cultivation, but if someone wishes to see the vastness of Sumeru, it cannot be missing.

The creator of this technique, it is said, was an ancient great one, born when heavens and earth first opened, seeing the immensity of the heavens and earth entirely. It was then that he had the opportunity to behold the full expanse of the three thousand worlds, from which he conceived and painstakingly created this Dao.

Such a feat is difficult to replicate, and trying to snatch this technique from the grasp of the Three Saints is akin to seeking death… Brother Song should find another way instead.”

…

…

Purple Cloud Heaven, Sea of Suffering.

In the Human Realm, Song Yan sat cross-legged by the azure Vast Sea, serene around him, while further ahead lay the Sea of Suffering, where occasionally, Celestial Demon Obsessions fell from high above, beginning their ‘advanced journey’ in this ‘Upper Realm.’

Song Yan’s gaze slowly fell upon the sleeping little White Tiger, then his Divine Thought transformed into a small figure standing before it.

“Saint Wa, do not sleep any longer.”

The little White Tiger, proud and dismissive, ignored him.

With a subtle gesture, a trace of profound intent emerged from Song Yan’s fingertip as he spoke again: “Senior, look at what this is.”

The little White Tiger seemed to sense something, startlingly opened its eyes, its large black orbs locked onto his finger, then for the first time spoke with an aloof female voice, “Yin Yang Dust Dao?”
