This was the only reasonable explanation Liu Feiyan could think of, because over the past few days, aside from dual cultivating twice with Ye Tianci, she hadn't done anything else!
"This is truly miraculous, my cultivation has recovered!"
Liu Feiyan was overjoyed: "But what exactly is going on?"
"The Yin-Yang Harmonizing Creation Divine Art mentions that long-term dual cultivation can help repair the dantian, but even with a Pure Yang Body like Tianci's, it usually takes a hundred sessions to see results."
"But I've only dual cultivated with him twice...!"
"What if we dual cultivate a hundred times, or continue indefinitely, what kind of effect would that have?" Liu Feiyan was filled with anticipation.
"In any case, my cultivation has finally recovered, and unexpectedly advanced to the Qi Condensation Late Stage!"
"The Cai Family, the Ye Family, and tomorrow morning's Ye Family Clan Assembly, let's see who dares to bully me now!"
In her mind, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but picture Ye Tianci's tall and strong figure, blushing as she murmured, "Tianci, oh Tianci, you truly are Shiniang's lucky star...!"
......
Inside the Heaven-Imprisoning Tower!
"Keep going, push harder, you're almost there!"
"Sister Yue, I can't hold on much longer!"
Yue Ji snapped, "Even if you can't hold on, you must! Without this bit of perseverance, how can you talk about becoming stronger!"
"I understand...!"
Ye Tianci gritted his teeth, enduring the powerful spiritual energy surging through him, feeling as if his meridians were being torn apart!
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura burst forth from within, and Ye Tianci abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam shooting from them!
"Good, not bad!"
Yue Ji looked at him approvingly and said, "Congratulations, you've successfully broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm!"
"I've opened my meridians?!"
Ye Tianci stood up, looking at his hands in disbelief.
He had started cultivating from Body Tempering 1st Layer, progressing through Body Tempering 2nd Layer... 5th Layer... 10th Layer, and now to the Meridian Opening Realm Initial Stage!
He was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sister Yue, for helping me break through to the Meridian Opening Realm, it was so fast!"
"This is fast?"
Yue Ji smiled slightly, "Brat, don't forget you possess the Dao Ancient Divine Body, this cultivation speed is already considered slow!"
"This is slow..." Ye Tianci pursed his lips, knowing that his master had taken a full ten years to cultivate from Body Tempering to Meridian Opening, while he had only taken an hour.
"Of course it's slow." Yue Ji laughed, "It's the first time I've heard of a cultivator with the Dao Ancient Divine Body being at the Body Tempering Realm... Haha! Truly too weak!"
"......" Ye Tianci shrugged, retorting, "With my current cultivation speed, I believe it won't take long before I can reach the Qi Condensation Realm, or even higher!"
"In this way, I can better protect Shiniang!" Ye Tianci thought to himself.
Yue Ji said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Breaking through from Body Tempering to Meridian Opening is just the beginning. The higher the realm, the slower the progress. Like me, I haven't broken through in a thousand years."
"What? A thousand years without a breakthrough?" Ye Tianci asked in surprise, "By the way, Sister Yue, what is your realm?"
"Me?" Yue Ji smiled slightly, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Just remember, Sister is stronger than anyone in this small world of yours."
"Sister Yue is so powerful..."
Ye Tianci scratched his head, thinking, "She's so powerful, I can't let her out easily. Who knows if she'll take revenge on me once she's out?"
"After all, she's been trapped in here for thousands of years, staying a few more days won't be a problem. I'll release her when I become stronger."
"Of course." Yue Ji nodded.
"Then who exactly is Sister Yue?" Ye Tianci asked tentatively.
"No harm in telling you, Sister is the Princess of the Yue Clan." Yue Ji replied.
"The Yue Clan? I've never heard of it." Ye Tianci was puzzled.
"Heh... That's perfectly normal."
Yue Ji scoffed, "Your small world is divided into the Three Thousand Continents, and Qingzhou is just one small continent among them. Liuyun City is merely a city within Qingzhou, and there are countless cities like Liuyun City in the entire Qingzhou. You've never even left Liuyun City, so of course, you haven't heard of the Yue Clan."
"Naturally, the Yue Clan doesn't belong to this small world, so it's normal you haven't heard of it."
Ye Tianci nodded, "I see, so Sister Yue isn't from this world."
"You could say that."
Yue Ji nodded, then continued, "Alright, brat, today's cultivation ends here. The 'Great Freedom Ultimate Intent Divine Art' I've taught you, make sure to practice diligently when you return."
"Tianci understands." Ye Tianci nodded respectfully.
"Also, your Shiniang is naturally a Water Spirit Body, and a one-in-a-million Pure Yin Charm Body. Dual cultivating with her will greatly benefit your cultivation."
......
Ye Tianci left the tower's space, looking around at the still starry Rear Mountain.
He looked at his hands again, murmuring, "Everything that just happened was real...! I've really opened my meridians!"
"Sister Yue told me, as long as I silently chant 'Heaven-Imprisoning,' the Heaven-Imprisoning Tower will automatically appear!"
Thinking of this, Ye Tianci looked at his palm, silently chanting, "Heaven-Imprisoning!"
Swish!
A golden light suddenly burst from his palm, and a small golden tower appeared out of thin air, its golden light flickering, exuding an ancient and majestic aura!
"It really works!"
Ye Tianci took a deep breath, looking at the small tower before him, his eyes filled with awe!
The Heaven-Imprisoning Tower had a total of seven layers, each seemingly radiating vast and boundless power!
"Great, with this Heaven-Imprisoning Tower, I'll become stronger and stronger!"
With no one around, Ye Tianci dared not make a sound, quickly focusing his mind to retract the tower.
"Sister Yue also taught me how to hide my cultivation. She said that if my cultivation rises too quickly, it will attract the attention of powerful beings, and without sufficient strength, it could easily lead to disaster...!"
Thinking of this, Ye Tianci suppressed his aura, lowering his realm back to Body Tempering 1st Layer.
"Now it's safe!" Ye Tianci smiled slightly, "Even Shiniang won't be able to tell what my current cultivation is!"
A quick look at will leave you more fulfilled.
"Shiniang..."
Recalling Shiniang's enchanting figure, Ye Tianci's cheeks flushed.
"Shiniang actually tricked me into dual cultivating while I was muddle-headed..."
"If Master is watching from the heavens, will he be angry with me?"
"So that's what dual cultivation between a man and a woman feels like... Shiniang's Water Spirit Body is truly extraordinary, I wish I could experience it again!"
