Li Qingshan added, “I once had a dual cultivation partner whose situation was very similar to yours. She cultivated using the power of Ruin’s End and had almost been devoured by it. In the end, she successfully placed it under her control through dual cultivation with me, setting her on the path to the peak of her life.”
He did not tell a single lie in what he said, but he had not been completely honest either.

  For example, the reason why he could help Gong Yuan suppress the power of Ruin’s End was because of the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression. The two of them were natural cultivation partners. While half of the xuanwu was a tortoise, the spirit turtle probably did not work.

  He was completely clueless about the effects of the dual cultivation methods of the Śāktaṃ school or whether they worked at all.

  Just recently, he had borrowed the methods of the Siddhānta school to make offerings to Maheśvara, and it had almost cost him his life several times.

  Chao Tianjiao mocked him out of habit. “Someone like you had a cultivation partner before?”
“Heh.” Li Qingshan was like the demon who tempted the loyal holy maiden. He was filled with malice. He struck out one last time. “With your cultivation, once you take just another step forward, it’ll definitely lead to the sixth heavenly tribulation. Even if you can’t survive it in the end, it’s better than dying here like this!”
After a moment of thought, Chao Tianjiao suddenly swung her hand as if she had slashed out with her blade.

  “Alright, I’ll trust you this one time!”
“Heh, when have I ever disappointed you, senior sister?”
In Black Cloud city, at the bottom of the stone tower, an innocent yet wicked smile stretched across Li Qingshan’s face, like a child who had successfully fooled an adult and carried out his prank.

  “What do I do?”
“Just listen to my command. First of all, please open your mind. Of course, I’ll also need you to…”
Chao Tianjiao suddenly felt rather embarrassed. In this demonic egg of chaos, her will had been shaken a long time ago.

  However, she was not one to hesitate. Since she had made up her mind, she definitely would not waste any time, cooperating with him compliantly.

  At that instant, a cool sensation slid past her skin, from her cheeks to her neck, then from her chest to her belly… It greedily caressed every inch of her body, giving her goosebumps.

  She tensed up all over and shut her eyes as her cheeks turned red, biting her lip unconsciously as she continued to act like she did not care. However, she sighed inside, How have I ended up like this? Is it really my turn to be unlucky? This source of misfortune!

  Li Qingshan successfully went from an outer garment to an inner garment, and she had cooperated compliantly throughout the entire process, so he immediately felt the delight of revenge. He fanned on even more flames of lust as he invaded her body freely.

  Chao Tianjiao turned even more red. She gritted her teeth. “Kid, are you satisfied now?”
“No, it’s still nowhere near enough! Senior sister, please relax and open your mind.” He was no longer satisfied with just being an inner garment.

  “If I demonify, I’ll definitely kill you!” Her voice trembled slightly, so her threat seemed to bear no power at all. As he had said, she opened her mind completely to him.

  There was already an opening to her mind, so Li Qingshan’s Yin Soul immediately infiltrated her. He smiled. “As you wish.”
Her eyes blanked out, and she even lost the sensation over her body. Everything about her was laid bare right in front of him, without any secrets to hide. That was far more invasive than what her body had gone through.

  Just recently, she had once used his illusions to see the situation of Cold Blood pass. However, that was at most equivalent to him standing with a wall between them, weaving some lies to her. She could chase him away at any moment. Now, she had basically opened the main door to him, allowing him to stride in as he pleased; he could even turn the entire situation around.

  “Let’s begin!”
Li Qingshan’s voice rang out in her ears, yet it also seemed to originate from the depths of her heart.

  This novel is _hosted_ by hosted novel.

  In a daze, the scene before her eyes changed. The icy-cold fortress, the brutal battlefield, and the riotous profusion of snowflakes all vanished.

  A small river gurgled past her eyes, rippling under the proud sun. The warm breeze was intoxicating as the poplar and willow trees swayed gently. It was the height of spring when the climate was most pleasant. The surroundings were spacious and quiet, only with the twittering of a few birds.

  She took off her shoes and socks gently, dipping her feet in the clear river. A few small fish flickered about. It was so pleasant that she forgot about everything.

  “Tianjiao.” A gentle voice rang out from behind her. She suddenly looked back, and her handsome lover made his way over here through the trees.

  With a splash, she pulled back her feet in a hurry. The water rippled, but she ended up losing her balance and falling backwards.

  “Be careful.” A large hand caught her waist. Their eyes met, and they caught each other’s scent, which enchanted them. Another large hand grabbed her foot. The ticklish sensation like electricity shot up from her foot into her heart.

  With a whimper, she collapsed on the grass beside the river, merging with the spring breeze and flowing water.

  L Qingshan began comprehending the method of dual cultivation.

  The Śāktaṃ school was not some stray path, but a mainstay of Maheśvara’s path. Their records and works even surpassed other schools like the Siddhānta school and the Raseśvara school.

  The Śāktaṃ school did not worship Maheśvara himself, but the god Liṅga.

  The so-called “Liṅga” was actually just Maheśvara’s thingy. It symbolised fertility and prosperity, representing the power of creation and rebirth.

  In the eyes of regular followers, that was the most important form of Maheśvara. As for his appearance where he waved his six arms about, opening his third eye and spraying out Divine Fire of World Destruction, that was just a special form. Very few people worshipped that.

  After all, fertility and prosperity was what people normally wanted, as well as what everyone wanted to see, while great destruction and great annihilation would definitely be fleeting, as it brought fear. Gods wanted their followers to respect and fear them, but respect did come first after all.

  Li Qingshan focused on comprehending the Śāktaṃ school’s methods of dual cultivation. Even this spring dream became secondary. When it came to his pranks, they had never lacked seriousness.

  He was forced to be serious as well. Chao Tianjiao’s Yang Soul was far too powerful, hundreds of times greater than his Yin Soul. On top of that, the harsh aura it contained was overwhelmingly heavy.

  If he could not enter a perfect state of dual cultivation soon, then it would rapidly tear apart his Yin Soul even if she was willing to open her mind cooperatively. If she put up even the slightest resistance, his Yin Soul would be finished.

  And in just a short while, a good part of his Yin Soul had been worn away, yet in the illusion, he had only begun to take off her clothes.

  Under a situation like this, how could he still enjoy himself? Before he had even done anything, his Yin Soul would have been reduced to nothing. It was basically even more miserable than impotence. His prank had failed and had instead dealt him a heavy blow.

  However, he also gained a gradual understanding. In other words, my process of practising the Heavenly Tome of Liberty has been a little abnormal.

  Birth and annihilation, creation and destruction, were always two sides of the same coin. They were integral to one another.

  But normally, one would still come before the other. There would definitely be creation first before destruction, birth before annihilation.

  In particular, to living creatures, not only was the former more important, but it was easier to understand too.

  However, he happened to have started off with great destruction and great annihilation, and he had comprehended the path of great liberty’s strongest technique in battle so quickly, the Divine Fire of World Destruction.

  Upon closer thought, that made no sense at all. Before he could even crawl or run, he already knew how to fly. Flying felt wonderful, but something simply seemed to be missing.
