The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1602 - 1598: Spouse (Happy New Year to all Daoist friends)

Chapter 1602: Chapter 1598: Spouse (Happy New Year to all Daoist friends)

As soon as the secret technique began to operate, Nie Caizhu felt a strange emotion bursting forth from her heart, like a seed sprouting and extending tender shoots, recklessly growing.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Shen Luo also felt a response and immediately coordinated by operating the secret technique’s mental method.

Had he not operated it, it might have been better, but once he did, Shen Luo instantly felt the burning sensation inside his body intensifying. Similarly, he also felt a strange emotion spreading within his heart.

That feeling was indescribable, but it made both of them want to indulge in it.

Unconsciously, a clear light emanated from Nie Caizhu’s body, and even more dazzlingly, light flowed behind her, as two splendid butterfly wings extended out, which upon fluttering, scattered glistening dust.

Nie Caizhu’s expression was entranced, but her eyes remained clear. The dual cultivation secret technique she operated did not stop, and she slowly approached Shen Luo—one body crimson as fire, the other skin fair as frost—until they finally pressed closely together.

It seemed a soft sigh came forth, as the butterfly wings behind Nie Caizhu came together like a colorful Feather Robe, enveloping the two within, playing a song of ice and fire.

...

Nie Caizhu seemed like a small boat on the vast sea, tossed about for who knows how long before finally sinking into a deep slumber.

When she finally woke up, she found herself already clothed neatly and was being held in the strong arms of someone, her black hair cascading down through the gap between the arms like a waterfall.

She heard the strong heartbeat from that chest, and only then did her anxious heart completely relax.

But at this moment, Nie Caizhu truly did not know how to face Shen Luo and could only pretend to be asleep still, though her subtle motion of snuggling closer to Shen Luo’s chest still startled him.

Shen Luo, now dressed in snow-white attire, radiated a faint gloss. Despite having no changes in appearance, the aura he exuded was vastly different from before.

"Cai Zhu, you’re awake?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Nie Caizhu’s heartbeat involuntarily sped up, but she did not respond.

"Madam Shen, if you don’t get up soon, you might tire your husband’s waist out," Shen Luo teased, seeing her reaction.

At this remark, Nie Caizhu’s face "whooshed" turned red, and she hurriedly attempted to get up.

Yet, when she tried to push herself up with her arms, she felt somewhat weak and failed to do so right away.

Shen Luo promptly supported her, holding her in his arms, and said softly, "Cai Zhu, I’m sorry..."

"Why are you saying that?" Nie Caizhu turned her head to look at him, puzzled.

"Every time it is you who saves me, I’m really not doing a good job as a husband," Shen Luo said.

Nie Caizhu’s pretty face blushed, adding a different kind of charming allure that moved Shen Luo’s heart, and he couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her.

"Cai Zhu, from now on we are husband and wife, spouses. I will definitely give you the grandest wedding," Shen Luo promised softly, holding Nie Caizhu’s chin in his hand.

Seeing the seriousness on Shen Luo’s face, Nie Caizhu suddenly smiled radiantly.

She did not care whether the wedding was grand or not; what mattered to her was Shen Luo the person, and that was everything to her.

The two nestled against each other, savoring the warmth of this moment, and shared their innermost feelings.

...

After quite some time, Shen Luo said, "I don’t know if it was due to the light of dual cultivation secret technique, but not only has my fire poison been resolved, my cultivation level also seems to have improved. I feel the opportunity to break through is also near."

"The records of the Art of Yin-Yang Complementation mention that when the cultivation levels of both practitioners are not much different, both parties gain benefits, whereas if there’s a large gap between them, the weaker one advances more," Nie Caizhu said.

"Then it’s settled. Next, I’m afraid I’ll have to go into closed-door cultivation for a period of time. If I can break through to the Late Stage of True Immortal realm, then we can kill our way back to Tianyan Palace," Shen Luo said with some excitement.

"I believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it," Nie Caizhu said with a brilliant smile.

A day later, Shen Luo once again entered closed-door cultivation, while Nie Caizhu returned to the Free and Easy Mirror to recuperate.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Shen Luo was seated cross-legged in the secret chamber, surrounded by a flash of golden light that almost solidified into substance.

Six Golden Dragons and six Golden Elephants flew and roared around him, causing the void in the secret chamber to tremble, their imposing manner several times greater than before.

Thanks to the chance of dual cultivation, he had been practicing diligently for two months and finally broke through to the Late Stage of True Immortal Realm, the extremely powerful mana circulating unrestrainedly within his body.

The Huangting Technique is the Sect’s Treasure of dual cultivation of the Cultivation Body at Mount Fangcun. Each breakthrough would temper the Dantian and meridians, making them broader, and the Nine Magic Veins were tempered along with them, making his mana far more profound than other monks of the same level. Although he was at the Late True Immortal Stage, his mana was not much weaker than a Taiyi Existence.

After breaking through the realm, Shen Luo did not immediately come out of seclusion but continued to consolidate his power, his cultivation now completely stable.

He opened his mouth to exhale, and sixteen Pure Yang Swords shot out, spinning around his body at an incredibly fast pace. For a moment, the entire secret chamber was filled with a dense mass of red Sword Shadows.

Shen Luo did not use any sword techniques, merely stimulating the might of the sixteen Flying Swords purely. The powerful and fierce Sword Qi covered the space of the secret chamber, cutting traces into the void, especially the four Pure Yang Swords with sword spirits which were astonishingly powerful, leaving faint black traces in their path.

A glimmer of joy flashed across his face as the power of the sixteen Pure Yang Swords had indeed increased greatly from before, and the conditions of his other Magical Treasures must be the same.

With his current strength, he felt somewhat confident in facing Che Qingtian.

Shen Luo opened his mouth to inhale and swallowed all sixteen Pure Yang Swords back into his body for nourishment, then got up and stepped outside.

A red light was hovering outside, it was the Fire Spirit Child, who had appeared from the Free and Easy Mirror at some point, guarding the place for him.

Shen Luo was momentarily taken aback, then remembered that the Free and Easy Mirror was now in the hands of Ghost Teng Master. Since he had been too busy with his cultivation to control it, it wouldn’t have been too difficult for Fire Spirit Child with its powers to control an unconscious corpse refinement.

"Oh, you’ve come out of seclusion," Fire Spirit Child said with a giggle upon seeing Shen Luo.

"Where’s Cai Zhu?" Shen Luo’s face unexpectedly heated up but quickly returned to normal as he asked.

"She’s in the adjacent secret chamber, also in closed-door cultivation. The Art of Yin-Yang Complementation from Mount Putuo not only helped to smooth out the rampant fire poison in your body, but it also had a significant impact on her. She hasn’t come out of seclusion for these three months, seeming to be adjusting her body," Fire Spirit Child said, pointing at a door to the neighboring secret chamber.

"Is she alright?" Shen Luo asked with a tense expression.

"She’s fine. I’ve sensed her breath with the Gu Xuan star disk, it seems calm, so there should be no problem," Fire Spirit Child said, retrieving the Gu Xuan star disk with a flip of the hand. The starlight on the disk flickered, forming ripples that gently spread outward, much more effortless and natural than when Tao Xiang activated this treasure.

"It seems you have completely refined the Gu Xuan star disk. With your skills in Array Techniques, you should be able to unleash the true power of this treasure," Shen Luo said, his expression relaxing, then he nodded.

"It’s presumptuous to claim I can unleash its full power, but I’m confident I can deploy seventy to eighty percent of it," Fire Spirit Child said as it gently stroked the star disk, clearly valuing this treasure greatly.

Shen Luo did not urge Nie Caizhu, and silently waited outside.
