Cultivation: Starting with a Dual Cultivation Technique at the Immortal Rank

139: Chapter 139 Sisters United in Heart, Destined for One PathHalf a month might be long for a Mortal, but for a Cultivator, it is but a blink of an eye.

However, for Forest Snow-Eyelash in Qingcheng Villa, this short half-month was a world-shaking transformation.

Inside the Quiet Room, the Spiritual Qi had thickened to the point of becoming physical, like a thin layer of white mist, lingering and never dissipating.

In the center of this mist, Forest Snow-Eyelash sat cross-legged with a solemn and dignified appearance.

Around her body, a massive Spiritual Qi vortex formed. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of several miles was drawn by an invisible force, surging frantically into her body.

Not far from her, Li Yifei, Sect Master Luo Shuixin, and Gu Qingcheng were quietly acting as her Protectors.

Li Yifei’s expression was calm, everything under control. Meanwhile, the master and disciple pair, Sect Master Luo Shuixin and Gu Qingcheng, watched this spectacular scene, their beautiful eyes filled with unmistakable emotion and envy.

They knew very well that Forest Snow-Eyelash’s achievement today was entirely thanks to Li Yifei’s tireless ”irrigation” over the past half-month.

Guided by the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon, Li Yifei’s incomparably majestic extreme Yang true essence was like an invincible divine hammer, pounding and tempering Forest Snow-Eyelash’s Foundation day and night, forcibly smashing open the Bottleneck barriers that had locked her for over sixty years, bit by bit.

Now was the final, and most critical, moment.

”Condense!”

With a clear cry from Forest Snow-Eyelash, the magic power within her body, compressed to the extreme, crashed toward that single point in the center of her Dantian!

Buzz—!

A hum that seemed to come from the Origin of the Great Dao echoed through the Quiet Room!

A Golden Core the size of a Dragon’s eye, crystal clear and emitting a faint green light, slowly took shape within her Dantian Qi Sea and began to rotate steadily.

A first-grade Core formed, a first glimpse of the Dao!

A majestic pressure belonging to a Golden Core True Person, far exceeding Foundation Establishment Perfection, erupted from Forest Snow-Eyelash’s body, instantly sweeping through the entire Qingcheng Villa!

It’s done!

Forest Snow-Eyelash slowly opened her eyes, feeling the vast power within her body that was completely different from before—as if she could move mountains and fill seas—and sensing the mysterious change of her Lifespan upper limit skyrocketing to five hundred years. Two lines of clear tears finally slid uncontrollably down her beautiful face.

These were not tears of sadness, but the ecstasy and excitement of finally achieving a wish after being suppressed for decades!

Over sixty years! She had been stuck at Foundation Establishment Perfection for a full sixty years. Seeing her end approaching and her path to the Dao hopeless, that despair and unwillingness had gnawed at her Dao Heart day and night.

But now, she had finally crossed this natural chasm!

Her gaze immediately turned to the calm man. In those beautiful eyes, there was thick gratitude, adoration, and... a deep possessiveness that she herself hadn’t even noticed.

”Thank you, husband, for making this possible!” She stood up and bowed deeply to Li Yifei. This ”husband” was called out so naturally, so willingly.

Li Yifei smiled and nodded, helping her up: ”This is your own Opportunity, and what you deserve.”

Simple words, yet they caused a warm current to surge in Forest Snow-Eyelash’s heart.

After stabilizing her Realm for a moment, she could no longer hold back her inner joy and said urgently: ”Husband, I want... I want to tell Liuli this good news immediately!”

She wanted Yue Liuli to see her transformation with her own eyes, to let her understand how correct her choice was!

”Go ahead.” Li Yifei naturally wouldn’t stop her.

Forest Snow-Eyelash’s figure turned into a green rainbow, and with a bit of impatience, she flew straight toward the ”Liuli Snow Residence.”

...

Inside the Liuli Snow Residence, the atmosphere was as cold as a ten-thousand-year-old icy pool.

Yue Liuli sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, her eyes tightly closed, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner unrest.

For the past half-month, although she and Forest Snow-Eyelash lived in the same house, they were like strangers.

Forest Snow-Eyelash left early and returned late every day. The aura of Yin and Yang fusion on her body grew thicker by the day, and her cultivation increased at a speed that made her heart pound with fear.

Meanwhile, she could only taste the bitter flavors of jealousy, loneliness, and betrayal in this cold Immortal Cave.

She didn’t hate Forest Snow-Eyelash, she really didn’t. She only hated herself—why didn’t she have such an Opportunity? Why wasn’t her Dao Heart firm enough? Why did she have to be bound by those so-called Sect rules?

Just as her mind was in a mess, a familiar yet distinctly different powerful pressure descended outside the Immortal Cave.

Yue Liuli snapped her eyes open, her pupils shrinking violently.

This aura... is the Golden Core Stage!

It’s Snow-Eyelash! She... she really succeeded!

”Liuli!”

The door of the Immortal Cave was pushed open, and Forest Snow-Eyelash walked in quickly, her face flushed with joy.

She grabbed Yue Liuli’s hand, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: ”Liuli, look! I succeeded! I’ve achieved Core Formation!”

Yue Liuli looked at her blankly, feeling the harmonious and endless Golden Core aura within her, and the last bit of luck in her heart was completely shattered.

Jealousy, relief, bitterness, loss... countless complex emotions churned in her heart, making her not know what to say for a moment.

”That’s great... Snow-Eyelash, congratulations...” Finally, she squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying.

Seeing her like this, Forest Snow-Eyelash’s joy cooled a bit.

She knew what Yue Liuli was thinking. She gently hugged Yue Liuli and whispered in her ear: ”Liuli, everything I do is for us.”

”You’ve also been stuck in the Early Golden Core Stage for decades. Don’t you want to go further? As long as you are willing, husband... Elder Li will definitely be able to help you too! When that time comes, we will have an even longer Lifespan and can be together forever, never having to worry about life and death separation again!”

These words were like a heavy hammer, striking hard against Yue Liuli’s heart.

Yes, together forever...

But, in what way would they be together?

While she was hesitating and struggling, several figures arrived together outside the Immortal Cave.

It was Sect Master Luo Shuixin and Gu Qingcheng.

”Junior Sister Yue, congratulations. Forest Snow-Eyelash’s achievement today is also a great joy for our Hehuan Sect.” Sect Master Luo Shuixin had a gentle smile on her face, but her gaze looked at Yue Liuli with hidden meaning.

Gu Qingcheng also stepped forward, giving Yue Liuli a slight bow, her cold voice carrying a hint of persuasion: ”Elder Yue, the Dao is difficult, and opportunities are hard to find. Sometimes, sticking to old ways will only lead to missing the path to heaven.”

For a moment, inside the Immortal Cave, everyone’s gaze focused on Yue Liuli.

The Sect Master, the Saintess, and her closest Dao Companion...

In their eyes, there was expectation, concern, and a hint of unquestionable pressure.

Yue Liuli looked around and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of isolation.

The entire Sect seemed to have only her left, still holding onto those ridiculous ”traditions.”

Was there still any point in persisting?

She looked at Forest Snow-Eyelash’s expectant eyes, and her frozen Dao Heart finally developed a crack.

After a long time, as if using up all her strength, she nodded gently.

”Okay... I... I am willing to give it a try.”

...

That night, in the Quiet Room of Qingcheng Villa.

Yue Liuli sat across from Li Yifei, feeling somewhat restless and her heart filled with extreme complexity.

She cultivated charm techniques and should have an extraordinary understanding of matters between men and women, but facing it now, she was so nervous her palms were sweating.

Li Yifei didn’t say much, just looked at her calmly.

As the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon slowly operated, a warm yet domineering extreme Yang force began to inject into her body.

Yue Liuli’s delicate body trembled violently, and she subconsciously wanted to resist.

But that power was not a crude intrusion; it was like a spring breeze turning into rain, silent and nourishing, gently soothing the restless magic power in her body and smoothing out her slightly disordered Meridians.

She could clearly feel that her Early Golden Core Stage cultivation, which had been stagnant for decades, was actually starting to slowly loosen under the nourishment of this power, taking a small but incredibly solid step toward the Middle Stage Bottleneck!

This... what kind of miraculous Cultivation Technique is this!

The so-called Dual Cultivation was actually not the one-sided plucking and taking she had imagined, but a kind of... a kind of fusion and sublimation close to the ”Dao”!

All nervousness, resistance, and shame were swept away by the real pleasure of cultivation progress brought by this power.

Yue Liuli completely opened her mind, actively cooperating with the operation of the technique, immersing herself in this unprecedented feast of cultivation.

Her Dao Heart, which had become dim because of Forest Snow-Eyelash’s matter, was completely washed clean in this baptism of Yin and Yang fusion, radiating a brilliant light once more.

...

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight entered the Quiet Room, Yue Liuli slowly opened her eyes.

A soul-stirring flush remained on her face, and her gentle eyes were shimmering with water, full of unprecedented spirit.

She felt comfortable all over, her mind clear and refreshed, and the magic power in her body was more refined than yesterday by more than just a notch!

Forest Snow-Eyelash had been waiting nearby for a long time. Seeing her wake up, she quickly brought over a cup of warm Spiritual Tea, a concerned smile on her face: ”Liuli, how do you feel?”

”I... I’m very good.” Yue Liuli took the teacup, looking at Forest Snow-Eyelash’s familiar smiling face, the last bit of estrangement in her heart completely dissipated.

She understood.

She finally understood Forest Snow-Eyelash’s choice.

In the face of this supreme immortal Opportunity that could transform a person, so-called reserve and rules were so small and ridiculous.

”Snow-Eyelash, I’m sorry... before, it was me... I was too stubborn.” Yue Liuli held Forest Snow-Eyelash’s hand, her voice carrying a hint of apology.

”It’s all in the past.” Forest Snow-Eyelash held her hand back, her eyes curved with a smile, ”In the future, we sisters will be of one heart, serving our husband together, and pursuing the great dao of longevity together, okay?”

”Mhm!” Yue Liuli nodded heavily, a long-unseen, heartfelt, and brilliant smile blooming on her face.

The two smiled at each other, as if returning to the intimate times of the past.

Sunlight spilled onto their tightly held hands; everything looked so beautiful.

However, Yue Liuli, immersed in the joy of regaining what was lost, did not notice.

The moment Forest Snow-Eyelash said ”sisters of one heart,” the unique bond between them called ”Dao Companion” had actually quietly changed.

The world that once belonged only to the two of them now had an absolute center that could not be ignored or resisted.

From now on, they would still be close, still walk side by side.

But that pure love between partners had unknowingly transformed into a more stable, yet no longer the same... sisterly bond.
