Starting My Cultivation With Time Management - Chapter 824 - Chapter 824: Chapter 62: Ah Jing is Frustrated by the Absence of Yuan Yang
Chapter 824: Chapter 62: Ah Jing is Frustrated by the Absence of Yuan Yang
A night passed, and both remained silent.
Upon waking the next day, Wei Dongliu sat on the bed in silence, his mood indescribable.
Not many cultivation techniques in this world strictly require the preservation of Yuan Yang, but indeed, many allow for faster cultivation with it intact.
Unluckily, the Immortal Sect’s secret technique that he truly relied on, the Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra, was precisely one of the latter.
Without Yuan Yang, it’s not that he couldn’t continue to cultivate, but the efficiency would definitely suffer a blow.
For instance, what originally took one hour to complete a Grand Circulation would now take one hour and two-thirds of a quarter hour.
What does this decreased efficiency result in? Dopamine… Every time he thought about this, Wei Dongliu even had the urge to strangle Jiang the Witch.
Of course, he wasn’t Guan Zhan’s father, and wouldn’t let such a setback drive him to vent his frustration on his wife.
After all, when it came down to it, it was his own guilty conscience that prevented him from consummating the marriage first. Moreover, this Demon Cult woman’s flavor was indeed uniquely appealing…
Thinking up to here, Wei Dongliu found himself lacking the strength to stay angry and merely sighed in his heart as he asked the Kunlun Mirror:
“Did you see it?”
“I did not watch,” the Kunlun Mirror responded indifferently.
“I didn’t see it either,” the Summoning Sword said with a sense of grievance.
This time it was not lying. In a head-on fight, a hundred Kunlun Mirrors would not be a match for it; however, when it comes to scanning, seeing through, and shielding, a million Summoning Swords could not compare with Ah Jing.
This had nothing to do with grade rank but was a limitation inherent to the Magic Sword and Mirror Seal, just as a man, no matter how impressive, could never give birth to a child.
Wei Dongliu just hummed in response, neither happy nor sad, and was just about to put on his trousers when a jade arm wrapped around his waist from behind, pulling him back down onto the bed.
As the sun rose high, Wei Dongliu finally dressed himself and left the bedroom, feeling as though his entire body had been drained of energy, wobbling with every step he took.
Even though cultivators undergo Marrow Cleansing and Root Seeking and don’t have to worry about kidney depletion, this loss of vital essence was severe.
“Isn’t that the case?” Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Kunlun Mirror and Summoning Sword idly chatted, “That Demon Head didn’t intend to harm him, but what does the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon know of love? It’s merely inducing extreme pleasure while incidentally consuming marrow… If this goes on, I reckon he’ll be finished sooner or later.”
“Ah, no worries,” the Summoning Sword was unconcerned, “The Sword Master of my Tai Yin Summoning Sword, how could he be so fragile? Besides, can’t you infuse him with spiritual power?”
“Me, infuse him with spiritual power to replenish his essence while he’s indulging in sensuous luxury? What kind of foolish dream are you speaking of?” scoffed the Kunlun Mirror.
“First of all, he hasn’t been indulging anywhere; that Demon Head is one of his legitimate wives,” the Summoning Sword chuckled, “Secondly, if he cannot withstand it and his Daoist Foundation collapses, who then will find the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone for you?”
Kunlun Mirror: ……
“If I don’t save this scumbag, am I completely helpless?” she retorted instinctively with a tough tone, “Anyway, now that I have my true form, I can just find it myself if it comes to that!”
The Summoning Sword did not counter but just laughed softly.
The Kunlun Mirror felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, her previous statements were full of loopholes.
If she really had the intention to restore her true form and find the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, she could have left this man long ago, so why hasn’t she taken the initiative to leave?
In the end, the Kunlun Mirror had to admit that although she often disapproved of his ways, his extraordinary adaptability was indeed an essential quality in the process of assembling the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
Survival in the Cultivation Realm is not an easy task, with numerous risks at every turn. No matter how high your Cultivation Level is, there always exists a Cultivator stronger than you, who could slap you to death with a single blow.
Leveraging people, power, items, and momentum, utilizing every force you can, is the only way to make a name for yourself in this Cultivation Realm. Whether it’s worth abandoning your moral bottom line for that is a different matter.
Sometimes, the Kunlun Mirror can’t help but doubt whether it enjoys the fruits of others’ labor on one hand, using its nimbleness to infiltrate Sects, gather intelligence, and scheme for the Heaven-Mending Stone fragments, while on the other hand it stands on moral high ground to lecture and disdain them?
Isn’t that too full of Falsehood?
This kind of self-analysis is undoubtedly excruciatingly painful, but if you consider it from another angle, since one must abandon some moral principles to achieve one’s goals in this Cultivation Realm, then why should I set boundaries for myself?
I want him to help me obtain the Heaven-Mending Stone, I don’t want him to completely forsake his moral principles, and I also want to help him be a good person—is that not possible?
It’s possible, it’s possible, it’s possible!
Convincing himself with Chen Guanshui’s typical logic, the Kunlun Mirror quickly found peace with it.
“Anyway, I don’t like that Demon Head,” she continued to argue with the Summoning Sword, “Nor will I actively help him restore his body. Just wait and see how he begs me!”
The Summoning Sword continued to chuckle in response, not disputing her claims.
Of course, it could see the Kunlun Mirror’s unreasonable attitude stemmed from being influenced by Chen Guanshui, but… who cares!
As long as there’s entertainment to be had, that’s all that matters.
Upon leaving the camp, Wei Dongliu saw a vast expanse of dark clouds approaching from the south, like an army of iron-clad heavenly soldiers descending upon the world, shrouding the skies above Shushan so thickly that not a ray of light could penetrate.
Thunderous roars and the sounds of mountains crumbling and the earth splitting were non-stop.
A surge of cold energy shot into the sky. Although it resembled the Sword Array of the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword, the purity of its essence was incomparably higher, like the difference between a multitude of stars and the bright moon.
Atop Iron City Mountain, Cultivators of the Six Paths gazed in shock towards the direction of Mount Emei, talking animatedly among themselves for a moment.
“Hah, the Tai Yin Summoning Sword has emerged,” King Aśoka suddenly said.
“The Tai Yin Summoning Sword?” Cultivators of the Asura Path were immediately struck with indescribable shock.
If the Tai Yin Sword Master has returned to Shushan, wouldn’t our Iron City Mountain, being closest to Shushan, be the first to suffer harm?
“However, judging by the direction of the Sword Qi, it seems to be heading towards Mount Emei,” King Aśoka said with a chuckle, “Given this momentum, the Emei Golden Summit is probably going to face calamity.”
Consequently, the atmosphere around them quickly shifted from heavy tension to excited exhilaration.
Could it be that this Tai Yin Sword Master is actually an enemy of Shushan?
That would be excellent! If the Tai Yin Sword Master could annihilate the entirety of Shushan, it couldn’t get any better!
With just a few words, King Aśoka flipped the mood of those present, but while he could deceive most Cultivators, how could he fool everyone?
Anyone with clear eyesight could tell, the Tai Yin Summoning Sword appeared in Shushan, its Sword Master must be someone from Shushan.
Even if the Tai Yin Sword Master harbors a deep hatred for someone from Shushan, leading him to unleash the power of the Tai Yin Summoning Sword, how could he possibly exterminate the entirety of Shushan? With the Tai Yin Sword Master’s exalted status, wouldn’t it be more desirable to be a Sect Guardian Immortal in disguise?
The appearance of the Sword Master is an absolute disaster for Iron City Mountain, the Asura Path, and even the entire Six Paths!
