She closed her eyes, concentrating. Her bottleneck was there an invisible wall that had blocked her for years, stubborn and unyielding.
Yun Che felt his own limit approaching as well. Energy gathered in his dantian and at the same time in his cock, forming a dense sphere of power and raw desire. Pressure mounted with every stroke.
He shifted their positions, rolling her onto her back and then turning her onto her hands and knees. He gripped her hips and drove into her in one smooth, powerful motion until he was buried to the hilt. Su Lian cried out, face pressed into the sheets. Yun Che fucked her harder, balls slapping against her wet folds, the lewd sound echoing in the silent pavilion.
Crack.
Something inside her began to fracture.
He drove faster. Every deep thrust forced spiritual energy against the barrier.
Crack.
Another fissure appeared.
Sweat ran down his forehead and chest. Su Lian moaned continuously, pushing her hips back to meet him, taking every inch. Her fingers clenched the sheets.
"Don’t pull back," she gasped.
"I won’t."
He drew her up again, turning her onto her side. He lifted one of her legs and sank back into her from a new angle, deeper still. Their faces were close now. Su Lian reached up, cupped his jaw, and kissed him with sudden hunger. Her tongue slid into his mouth as he continued to thrust without mercy. The kiss was wet, open, almost desperate.
When they broke apart her eyes were wild with both desire and absolute determination.
"Deeper. Keep going."
Yun Che obeyed.
He placed her on her back once more, pushed her thighs wide open until her knees nearly touched the mattress, and buried himself to the root. He began to hammer the deepest point inside her, cock throbbing, spiritual energy spinning faster and faster between them. Heat filled the room. The lanterns flickered. The mixture of power and pleasure became almost overwhelming.
Time lost meaning.
They moved through position after position. Su Lian rode him hard, hands braced on his chest, hips rolling and slamming down so that every stroke struck her deepest places.
He took her on her knees again. Then he laid her face-down and covered her body with his own, pressing her into the bed while he fucked her in long, slow, devastating strokes that dragged against every sensitive ridge inside her. Seed and her own fluids soaked the sheets beneath them.
Moans and wet sounds never ceased. Spiritual energy continued to circulate without pause through the point of their joining, cleansing, expanding, strengthening.
Then Yun Che’s bottleneck finally shattered.
A silent explosion bloomed inside his body at the exact moment of his climax.
He drove in to the hilt and came in thick, hot pulses, flooding her womb with seed and pure spiritual energy. The wave of pleasure and power raced through every meridian.
Channels that had been narrow and restricted opened wide, like a dammed river finally finding its course. Energy surged through his chest, arms, abdomen, and converged once more in his core and in the cock that was still throbbing and emptying inside her.
[Bottleneck broken.]
[Cultivation updated.]
[Profound Elemental Realm First Level.]
Yun Che’s eyes opened. He was still buried deep inside her, body trembling with the aftershocks of a prolonged orgasm. The energy within him felt denser, more stable, far more powerful than before.
But Su Lian was not finished.
She remained focused, face tight with concentration. Her inner walls continued to squeeze and ripple around his still-hard cock in rhythmic pulses.
"Su Lian."
"Don’t speak. Keep fucking me."
He did not hesitate. He resumed moving slower now, deeper, pushing his seed farther into her while her own energy gathered against the remaining wall of her bottleneck.
The barrier resisted.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Yun Che increased the pace again, thrusting hard while his thumbs found her swollen clit and rubbed in firm circles. Su Lian’s back arched sharply. A raw cry tore from her throat.
Then an enormous surge of spiritual pressure exploded through the room as she climaxed.
The spiritual lanterns went out.
Su Lian’s hair lifted as if caught in an invisible wind. Her body convulsed violently. Her walls clamped down in powerful, rhythmic spasms, squirting hot fluid around his cock as she came long and hard, releasing a pure wave of spiritual energy that washed through both of them.
Afterward the room fell silent except for their heavy breathing.
She opened her eyes.
For several seconds she said nothing.
Then she drew a long, steady breath.
Spiritual energy flowed freely through her body for the first time in years.
The bottleneck was gone.
[Partner’s bottleneck broken.]
[Partner’s cultivation updated.]
[Profound Elemental Realm First Level.]
Su Lian remained still, his cock still inside her. Her skin was flushed and damp with sweat. Pleasure still radiated through her. When he finally withdrew, a slow trickle of seed followed, sliding down between her thighs.
An expression of quiet disbelief crossed her face.
"I... did it."
Yun Che smiled faintly and brushed his fingers along the sensitive inner surface of her thigh, still wet and trembling.
"You did."
She looked down at her own hands. Energy moved through her fingers like an invisible current smooth, strong, unobstructed.
For so long that advancement had seemed impossible.
Now it was real.
Su Lian turned her gaze back to him.
"You advanced as well."
"Yes."
They remained quiet for a time, naked, sweating, the air thick with the scent of sex and newly released spiritual power. Moonlight spilled through the window, illuminating the pale trails of seed on Su Lian’s thighs and the semi-hard length of Yun Che’s cock.
She leaned forward and rested her forehead against his.
"Thank you."
Yun Che closed his eyes for a moment.
"It was an agreement."
A soft, slightly hoarse laugh left her. Her voice still carried the aftershocks of climax.
"You really are incapable of saying anything romantic."
"I have no experience with that."
"I noticed."
She drew back slowly.
Yun Che rose as well.
Before he reached the door the system interface appeared once more in his vision.
[Mission completed.]
[Dual cultivation completed.]
[Reward available.]
[Current cultivation: Profound Elemental Realm First Level.]
Yun Che stared at the glowing characters.
For the first time since awakening in this world, he had left behind the realm that the original Yun Che had never managed to surpass. And he had done it buried inside a woman’s body, pleasure and cultivation fused into a single, inseparable force.
He opened the door.
Cool night air flowed into the room.
Behind him Su Lian remained near the bed, silently feeling the new circulation of energy inside her body, still aware of the residual heat and the seed between her legs.
Yun Che looked up at the sky.
The moon hung high and clear.
In that moment he understood that his true journey had only just begun.
