Chapter 770: Chapter 767: Another Breakthrough

"Daozhou has a Guardian God?" Huang Yue was astonished.

This matter wasn’t even recorded within the teachings of the Mountain God Dao.

"I’ll take you to see if there’s a chance in the future," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, not going into detail about the origins of the Guardian God.

"Additionally, there exists a Mountain God on this East Desolate Island; you can go and pay your respects."

"Eh?! Senior, didn’t you say there were no mountains here?" Huang Yue was shocked.

If there are no mountains, how can there be a Mountain God?

"Your Daoist understanding is too shallow; you will understand in time," Ye Xuan said with a casual smile.

Originally, he left Cultivation Techniques and an Array Realm for the East Desolate Wolf and moved this island here for him while incidentally appointing a Mountain God who secretly protected the East Desolate Wolf to prevent others from taking him away.

This is also why just a moment ago, even though the East Desolate Wolf had moved the Immortal Island up to ninety thousand Zhang in the sky, it was immediately pulled back to its original position in an instant.

That was because after Ye Xuan reached the foundation of the Immortal Island, he burned a Divine Talisman to awaken that slumbering Mountain God.

The East Desolate Wolf probably doesn’t even know that on this Immortal Island, there exists a being stronger than him.

That Mountain God has lived far longer than the East Desolate Wolf.

But because of Ye Xuan’s orders, this Mountain God never showed itself to the East Desolate Wolf, thus he remained unaware of its existence.

"Then how should I pay my respects to the mountain?" Huang Yue humbly asked.

"Paying respects to this island will suffice, its name is East Desolate," Ye Xuan said.

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior," said Huang Yue, delighted. After thanking him quickly, he flew off.

For those of the Mountain God Dao, nothing made them happier than paying respect to a mountain... and paying respect to a mountain.

"Husband, didn’t you say we’re going to Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect in ten days? Do you plan to leave on the very last day?" Zhou Youwei asked curiously.

"Yes, my breakthrough opportunity has come; I need to go into seclusion for a day, and this time, you’ll join me," Ye Xuan nodded.

"Huh?" Zhou Youwei looked astonished, her ice-blue eyes filled with confusion: "Can two people go into seclusion together?"

Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, "When I’m in seclusion, I can help you directly step into the Unity Realm."

"Really? I don’t believe it," Zhou Youwei said with disbelief.

She was only at the Yin Yang Sixth Layer now, far from the Unity Realm.

"Don’t you believe me?" Ye Xuan said, rolling his eyes.

"Then... let’s go," Zhou Youwei said tentatively.

Ye Xuan picked Zhou Youwei up in a princess carry without regard for her exclamations and dashed into the Inner Hall of the Desolate Wolf Palace.

Qiao Xinyu, standing on the steps outside the Desolate Wolf Palace, saw this scene and a trace of a smile emerged on her lips, yet envy shone in her beautiful eyes.

To receive personal guidance from Emperor Ye was a tremendous honor, not to mention such an ’intimate’ form of it...

’I wonder if I’ll ever have such a day...’ she mused.

But as she finished that thought, Qiao Xinyu suddenly stiffened, then shook her head, casting aside the wild thoughts from her mind.

’Qiao Xinyu, oh Qiao Xinyu, what are you thinking? Emperor Ye is the leader of our Revenge Lineage; your task is to remove obstacles for our leader. If Nangong, our leader, knew of your idle fantasies, he would probably end you with a single blow...’

Qiao Xinyu steeled her mind, stopping the fanciful thoughts and concentrated on watching the East Desolate Wolf.

At that moment, the East Desolate Wolf was already floating there, but his body had completely deformed, appearing twisted and fierce.

Watching this scene with a grave expression, Qiao Xinyu thought:

’His soul is enduring the ultimate pain of this world, instinctively trying to use physical pain to lessen it...’

’The leader’s methods are truly terrifying!’

In such a state, could the East Desolate Wolf endure for three days?

That was unknown.

And at this moment.

Huang Yue had already left Desolate Wolf Palace and arrived in a mountain forest.

He found a low peak and reached the top, producing a Divine Talisman in his hand.

With some nervousness rubbing his hands, Huang Yue pressed them together, placing the Divine Talisman between his palms, and silently prayed in his mind: "Junior Huang Yue of the Mountain God Dao, passing through this treasured place, hereby pays respects to the mountain."

After finishing the prayer, fire sparked from the palms of his hands, burning the Divine Talisman.

As the Talisman Paper turned to ashes, two ancient characters for "East Desolate" hovered above it.

The first was to pay respect to the mountain; the second, to honor the deity.

This island was named East Desolate.

So naturally, the Mountain God was called the East Desolate Mountain God.

A Mountain God worthy of this title was surely a top-ranking one, leaving no room for mistakes.

Boom!

As Huang Yue waited nervously, suddenly a burst of dust exploded in front of him. The dust cleared to reveal a figure within it.

It was, in fact, a young man of extraordinary demeanor.

Despite appearing young, the aura that surrounded him was anything but ordinary, deep and unfathomable.

"Who summons this God?" the young man said slowly, his eyes filled with an ancient weariness.

Huang Yue came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Junior Mountain God Dao Huang Yue, pays respects to the East Desolate Mountain God."

...

Putting aside Huang Yue’s paying homage to the mountain, let’s return to Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

After entering the Inner Hall of the Desolate Wolf Palace, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei sat opposite each other, very close. Under Ye Xuan’s indication, Youwei summoned her Yin spirit and Yang spirit.

One on the left and one on the right.

It was as though there were three Zhou Youweis sitting there.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes clear, and slowly closed them as the "Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Scripture" began to operate.

Nine Life Palaces floated behind his head, circulating a mysterious aura in the void.

On Ye Xuan’s left side, a cluster of black shadows floated out, like a shadow.

Yin spirit, with a shadow but no form.

Ye Xuan’s Yin spirit slowly began to condense at this moment.

The speed was frighteningly fast.

Ordinary cultivators generally needed to accumulate over days and months before their Yin spirit could gradually manifest.

For Ye Xuan, who had just begun to break through to the Yin Yang Realm, to have his Yin spirit start to appear was simply monstrous.

Zhou Youwei was also shocked when she saw this scene.

Her condensation of the Yin spirit was accomplished in the Holy Pond of the Qiankun Palace at Hengduan Mountain.

She had spent nearly half a year in the Holy Pond, forming the Dual Saint Body, and at the same time stepped into the Yin spirit phase of the Yin Yang Realm.

As for advancing to the Yang spirit stage, it occurred when she obtained the Daluo Sword Embryo in the Sword Tomb.

And now, her cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of the Yin Yang Realm.

Only when reaching the Ninth Layer of the Yin Yang Realm and both Yin spirit and Yang spirit were perfect, could one advance to the Unity Realm, also known as the Longevity Realm.

Ye Xuan now said he wanted to take advantage of his breakthrough opportunity to help her break through to the Unity Realm.

Despite knowing her husband’s extraordinary nature, Zhou Youwei was still somewhat incredulous.

Hum————

As Zhou Youwei observed carefully, Ye Xuan’s Yin spirit on the left side condensed at great speed.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhou Youwei was startled and sharply turned to look at Ye Xuan’s right side, her ice-blue pupils contracting intensely.

"Yang spirit?!"

"What’s going on?!"

Zhou Youwei was somewhat dumbfounded.

On Ye Xuan’s left side, the Yin spirit was still in the phase of condensation, while on his right side the aura of the Yang spirit had emerged.

Yin spirit and Yang spirit gathered together!

This was something that normally required the Sixth Layer of the Yin Yang Realm to achieve.

But now Ye Xuan, clearly still advancing towards the Yin Yang Realm, had somehow caused both Yin spirit and Yang spirit to appear at the same time!

To cultivate both the Yin spirit and Yang spirit simultaneously!?

This was something Zhou Youwei had never heard of before.

The Yin Yang Realm had always been about first condensing the Yin spirit. At the Fourth Level of the Yin Yang Realm, when the Yin spirit was perfect, one would start cultivating the Yang spirit at the Fifth Layer.

Only at the Ninth Layer could one achieve perfection of both the Yin spirit and Yang spirit.

Yet now, Ye Xuan had just stepped into the Yin Yang Realm and was cultivating both the Yin spirit and Yang spirit simultaneously—a feat unheard of before.

Zhou Youwei looked from side to side, her gaze settling on Ye Xuan’s face. Staring at that cold countenance, she became somewhat distracted.

Ye Xuan had previously told her that regardless of his identity, she only needed to remember that he, Ye Xuan, was her husband, Zhou Youwei, and that was enough.

But whenever Ye Xuan demonstrated various miraculous abilities, Youwei found it incredibly unbelievable.

It was all too strange.

"Focus, pay attention to my Yin spirit and Yang spirit," Ye Xuan said without opening his eyes but speaking slowly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Youwei put aside her distractions and, as Ye Xuan had instructed, focused on his Yin spirit and Yang spirit.

Under her gaze, Ye Xuan’s Yin spirit and Yang spirit, not yet fully formed, began to move around him.

It was like practicing the Tai Chi.

Seeing that scene, Zhou Youwei gained a sudden understanding and, with a single thought, her own Yin spirit and Yang spirit followed the trajectory of Ye Xuan’s, moving around her as well.

At that instant, within the Desolate Wolf Palace, it was as though two Tai Chi diagrams were spread out, mysterious and grand, with an overwhelming presence!

It was also at this moment that both Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei’s Yin and Yang spirits began to soar!

Zhou Youwei’s realm advanced directly from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh, and then towards the Eighth.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan’s realm also rose from the peak of the Life Palace Realm directly to the Third Layer of the Yin Yang Realm, continuing to ascend!

The two of them seemed to be engaged in an unusual form of Dual Cultivation...
