Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

91: Taiyin and Taiyang, twin Dao bodiesThe Spiritual Bodies obtained by the three each had their own focus, perfectly matching their original Foundation and Heart-Nature, forming an excellent complement!

Watching the three demonstrate, coupled with Li Yinglong’s live instruction, the others also felt the same.

The cave was silent for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic exclamations and cheers!

”That’s great! Senior Brother Changyun is too strong!”

”Senior Brother Iron Ox is truly amazing!”

”I don’t understand Senior Brother Mingyuan’s, but it feels very powerful!”

The new Disciples were dazzled, their hearts burning with fervent excitement, revering the Clan Chief’s methods as divine, and filled with infinite expectation and longing for their own futures.

Li Changyun and the other two were overcome with emotion and once again bowed deeply to Li Yinglong:

”Thank you, Clan Chief, for this grace of rebirth! We will certainly do our utmost to protect the Family and Cultivate diligently without cease!”

Li Yinglong accepted theirpresent with composure, raising his hand to gently help the three of them up. His gaze swept over all the excited Disciples, and he said in a clear voice:

”Newly acquired power, like a wild horse unbridled, and a restless Heart-Nature, is a common occurrence. However, the ’Dao De Jing’ says: ’The heavy is the root of the light; the still is the master of the restless.’ At this moment, you should use ’stillness’ to control ’movement,’ and ’stability’ to govern ’power.’ Gather your thoughts, and carefully comprehend the wonders of this transformation, feeling the trajectory of power’s flow, making it as easy to command as your own arm, perfectly integrated and smooth. This is the Righteous Path; do not rashly vent it, otherwise, it will only be a wasted effort, unbeneficial to your Foundation, and may even damage your nascent Spiritual Body.”

Upon hearing this, the three felt as if enlightened, and respectfully responded:

”We will strictly follow the Clan Chief’s teachings!”

They then each found a corner, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and looked inward to consolidate this hard-won Breakthrough.

Li Yinglong nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the brother and sister sitting a little further away, Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen, who had remained quietly observing.

Seeing the Clan Chief look their way, the brother and sister immediately straightened their backs, their eyes clear and respectful.

”Shuyao, Shuwen.”

Li Yinglong called out.

”Clan Chief Grandpa.”

The brother and sister responded in unison, their voices clear and melodious.

Li Yinglong’s expression was calm, his gaze lingering on the two for a moment, as if scrutinizing two pieces of uncarved jade.

He slowly said:

”For this Opportunity, I still have one ’Spirit Awakening’ chance left. This chance concerns the starting point of your Dao, and is no small matter, requiring utmost caution.”

He paused:

”Observing you two, although your age is slightly older than the other newly promoted Disciples, your Heart-Nature is steady, you are intelligent and eager to learn, and moreover, you are brother and sister with a shared Heart, a natural understanding. After much deliberation, I have decided to give this last chance to you two.”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only were Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen stunned, but even Li Changyun and the other two, who had just entered meditation, couldn’t help but open their eyes and look over, their faces all showing surprise.

Song Shuyao was the first to react, her pretty face instantly flushing with excitement, but it immediately turned into apprehension and unease.

She hurriedly got up, pulling her brother with her to bow deeply, her voice filled with urgency:

”Clan Chief Grandpa’s immense kindness, Shuyao (Shuwen) is endlessly grateful! However... how precious such an Opportunity is! Senior Sister Changyue and Senior Sister Thunder Frost are still ahead. Their Cultivation is profound, and they have contributed more to the Family. This chance should rightfully be given to the two Senior Sisters first! My brother and I are young and have shallow learning; we are willing to wait for the next Opportunity and would never dare to overstep!”

The girl’s tone was sincere, without any pretense, her eyes clear, showing only respect for her Senior Sisters and adherence to the rules.

A hint of approval flashed in Li Yinglong’s eyes, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Li Changyue and Thunder Frost, who were off to the side.

Li Changyue, with her gentle and open-minded nature, smiled sweetly at the situation and stood up, softly saying:

”Sister Shuyao, Brother Shuwen, there’s no need for this. The Clan Chief’s actions have their own profound meaning. Thunder Frost and I are in a special situation and have already explained it to Clan Chief Grandpa; we are not in a hurry for now. Since the Clan Chief has chosen you, he must have seen that your qualities are most compatible with this Opportunity and most beneficial for the Family’s long-term future. This is a matter of the Family’s overall situation, not personal order. You must not decline; just accept it with peace of mind.”

Thunder Frost also nodded, her cool voice carrying certainty:

”The Clan Chief’s command is the will of the Family. Giving it to you two must be the optimal choice. There’s no need to worry about us. Quickly express your gratitude and do not disappoint the Clan Chief’s high hopes and the Family’s expectations.”

The two women’s tones were calm, their eyes frank, without any resentment, only absolute support for the Clan Chief’s decision and sincere encouragement for their younger siblings.

Li Yinglong felt comforted and looked at Li Changyue and Thunder Frost with increasing gentleness:

”Changyue, Shuang’er, I know your hearts. Rest assured, I have never forgotten about your matters, and there will be arrangements in the future. I will certainly not let your Dao path be obstructed.”

Upon hearing this, the two women bowed again:

”Thank you, Clan Chief. We understand.”

Only then did Li Yinglong turn his gaze back to the still uneasy Song brother and sister:

”Shuyao, Shuwen, the Dao of the Family is not about one person’s brilliance, but about everyone contributing. Seeing the worthy and not striving to emulate them, seeing profit and not forgetting righteousness—this Heart-Nature is the very Foundation of the Family’s Legacy! Today’s action is not a reward, but a setting of an example! Let all Disciples know that our Li Family’s rewards and punishments are not based solely on Cultivation, but more on Heart-Nature and public-mindedness! Do you two understand?”

Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen both trembled, looking up at the Clan Chief, then at the gentle and encouraging gazes of their Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters around them. Their hearts were instantly filled with a huge warmth and a sense of responsibility.

The Clan Chief’s thoughts and considerations had long transcended personal gains and losses, looking at the entire Family’s ethos and future, while we two were too narrow-minded.

The brother and sister exchanged glances, both seeing determination in each other’s eyes.

Without further hesitation, they both knelt to the ground:

”Clan Chief’s painstaking efforts, we understand! Shuyao (Shuwen) will certainly not fail the high hopes of the Clan Chief and the Family. We will Cultivate diligently without cease, and with a shared Heart as brother and sister, we will do our utmost for the Family!”

”Good!”

Li Yinglong laughed heartily and raised his hand in a gesture of assistance: ”

Rise, compose yourselves, and prepare to receive this fortune!”

The two stood up, sat cross-legged as instructed, holding their breath and concentrating.

Li Yinglong communicated with the System in his mind:

”System, use the last [Aptitude Improvement LV2] chance. Target: Song Shuyao, Song Shuwen.”

[Command confirmed. Consuming Aptitude Improvement LV2 chance x1. Target locked: Song Shuyao, Song Shuwen. Detecting targets are homologous twins, Innate bond ’Sun and Moon Shared Heart’ activated... Beginning to infuse spiritual essence, reshaping Foundation...]

In an instant, spiritual light once again burst forth from Li Yinglong’s fingertips. This time, however, it was not a single color. From his left fingertip, a wisp of scorching white light, like the great sun descending, leaped out, while from his right fingertip, a cool, profound radiance, like the bright moon in the sky, flowed!

The two streaks of light precisely entered the space between Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen’s eyebrows!

Their bodies simultaneously trembled violently!

Song Shuwen’s skin instantly turned crimson, as if an invisible flame ignited within him, his hair moved without wind, the surrounding temperature abruptly rose, and a potent, fiery aura permeated the air. Between his eyebrows, a golden light pattern in the shape of a blazing sun totem flashed and disappeared.

Song Shuyao, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. Her skin became as white as jade, emitting a faint, clear glow. Cold mist seemed to swirl around her, the temperature plummeted, and tiny frost patterns even condensed on the ground. An aura of profound Yin stillness permeated the air, and between her eyebrows, a crescent moon-shaped silver light pattern quietly emerged.

The phenomenon lasted for several breaths before slowly receding, astonishing everyone.

The two opened their eyes, their gazes brilliant, clearly having obtained an extraordinary Foundation.

[Warning: Detecting extremely high-level Innate Soul resonance and life wavelength coupling between target individuals, far exceeding conventional bloodline connection thresholds... Adapting energy infusion mode to: Twin Parallel Synchronous]

[Infusion complete. Life Origin leap successful, Dao Body generation complete... Generating detailed assessment report...]

[Dao Body Name: Grand Yin Grand Yang Twin Dao Body (Special Symbiotic Innate Dao Body)]

[Dao Body Characteristics Overview:]

[Core Rule One: Twin Resonance: Cultivation Acceleration (Passive): During Cultivation, the ’Dao Rhyme’ and ’Spiritual Opportunity’ generated by the two will connect through a Soul bridge, spontaneously forming a perfect ’Yin and Yang Grand Cycle.’ In this state, both parties’ Spiritual Qi absorption and refinement efficiency will be 100% added to the other, and the Grand Cycle operation will be extremely stable, reducing the probability of Heart Demon proliferation, and significantly enhancing Foundation stability. Achieving ’one person Cultivates, two benefit’]

[Core Rule Two: Spiritual Connection: Action Coordination (Passive): In combat, thetacit understanding within their visual range is consistently ’perfect.’ Tactical intentions can be synchronized without words or Divine Sense transmission, as if sharing a single combat processing core, significantly enhancing coordinated attack, defense, and evasion efficiency]

[Core Rule Three: Yin and Yang Confluence: Combined Attack Boost (Active): When the two jointly attack the same target, they can actively guide energy to converge and Fusion, generating a combined attack bonus. The final damage of the combined attack is 180% - 250% of the sum of their basic damage, possessing the potential to challenge beyond their stage]

[Independent Characteristic Branches:

Song Shuwen: Energy attribute shifts to ’Pure Yang’; True Qi characteristics: Fiery, majestic, with ’Evil-Burning’ and ’Demon-Shattering’ characteristics; Combat style inclination: Direct assault, burst, offense.

Song Shuyao: Energy attribute shifts to ’Ultimate Yin’; True Qi characteristics: Profoundly cold, enduring, with ’Corrosion,’ ’Freezing,’ and ’Calming Heart’ characteristics; Combat style inclination: Control, harassment, sustained combat, stealth]

[Strategic Value Assessment:]

This Twin Dao Body is an extremely rare, growth-type special Innate Dao Body. Investing one unit of resources (guidance, Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, etc.) is expected to yield 2-2.5 times the Cultivation return, making it highly cost-effective. The expected growth rate will far exceed that of ordinary Geniuses with the same resource investment.

[System Warning: Detecting an ultimate bond-type weakness in this Dao Body!]

[Risk: If either party’s Divine Soul suffers severe damage or is completely annihilated, the other party will also suffer a devastating backlash! This weakness is the greatest fatal flaw of this Dao Body. Once discovered and targeted by an enemy, it is highly likely to lead to the worst outcome of both falling!]

[System Suggestion: It is recommended that the host list the complete information of this Twin Dao Body as top secret, with the scope of knowledge limited to the host himself and the two individuals with the Dao Body. Before the twins possess sufficient self-preservation ability (Golden Core Stage and above recommended), strictly prohibit disclosing specific information to any third party.]

”Oh? What the two obtained was actually a Dao Body?! And it has so many intricacies?!”

Li Yinglong listened to the System’s warning, his expression calm, but his heart was greatly shaken.
