King of Assassins
Chapter 1107 - 712: Refining Sword (Part 3)
No one knows how long it took before Yun Qingxia suddenly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gao Xuan sitting calmly beside her.
Having experienced an intimate connection through their divine souls, Yun Qingxia no longer felt estranged from Gao Xuan and looked at him with a touch of closeness in her eyes.
"You're awake."
"Yes."
"How do you feel?"
"Hmm? Pretty good... no, it's especially good..."
Yun Qingxia was still a little unused to this intimate relationship, feeling a bit shy at Gao Xuan's inquiry, but she quickly realized that her divine soul had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Her divine soul in the sea of consciousness was like a purple glass, transparent inside and out, yet unusually solid. This was vastly different from her original state of condensed purple light forming the divine soul state.
As she operated her divine sense, she immediately felt that her divine soul power had at least increased several times. As for exactly how much stronger it was, she couldn't judge immediately.
Gao Xuan said to Yun Qingxia, "The intermingling of divine soul's yin and yang is the right path of cultivation. Hence, your divine soul power has greatly increased."
Yun Qingxia hastily bowed, "Thank you, Celestial Master."
Before Yun Qingxia could bow, Gao Xuan reached out to hold her wrist, "I have also learned a lot from you, gaining much. You need not feel uneasy."
He paused and then said, "According to the Daoist Sect's teachings, our divine souls cultivated together in the supreme Yin-Yang Dao, which can be considered as Daoist companions. Such a relationship doesn't need formality..."
At this moment, Yun Qingxia's face was truly flushed with red, and she lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look directly at Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan smiled, taking Yun Qingxia's fair hand and said, "For us cultivators to go against heaven requires such courage. Love and hate are all born from the heart. There's no need to be bound by mundane moral etiquette. We are both pleased with each other, which is indeed a blessing..."
For Gao Xuan, although this joy was just a bit, it was enough.
Yun Qingxia also understood this reasoning. She nodded slightly and firmly held Gao Xuan's hand.
As Gao Xuan said, being mutually delighted is what matters, the rest are mere details. Why care?
Gao Xuan continued, "The purple aura symbolizes life, but its power may lack a bit. You might as well refine another Cyan Mist Sword with blue evil qi. Thus, the interplay of life and death, yin and yang, offers endless changes..."
Gao Xuan's insight and vision were not inferior to even Earth Immortals, even surpassing them.
Moreover, with the Celestial Net Five-Colored Divine Light in his possession, being inspired by Ling Ji from Yun Qingxia, he could naturally draw analogies with ease.
These ideas, perfected through the Formless Nine Revolutions Inference, easily tailored a cultivation secret technique for Yun Qingxia.
Yun Qingxia was overjoyed and couldn't help but embrace Gao Xuan. She looked at Gao Xuan and said, "I have Vermilion Sunflower Juice on my lips, it's the sweetest, would the Celestial Master like to taste it..."
Yun Qingxia's red lips were right in front of Gao Xuan, her breath fragrant, flowing like spring water, her glances all the more captivating.
"With such sincerity, it would be rude to refuse."
Gao Xuan lowered his head and had a taste.
Yun Qingxia, blushing, softly asked, "How is it?"
"Exquisite..."
The love between men and women, the transformation of yin and yang, is the way of nature. In this respect, humans and immortals are fundamentally no different.
The fun is a hundred times more intense for immortals, given their profound Dao practice.
Yun Qingxia, having tasted it for the first time, couldn't help but indulge a little.
While Gao Xuan didn't indulge, he enjoyed it nonetheless.
Controlling the wind in the Cyan Nether, carrying mountains and surpassing seas, flipping clouds and covering rain, such control over the creation of all things displayed the demeanor of an immortal.
Admiring flowers on the roadside, listening to snow in a bamboo forest, sipping turbid wine, playing harmonious music, such seemingly minor matters have their own charms.
To an immortal, there is no distinction between big and small. It is precisely because they can choose freely that they can display such extraordinary elegance.
While Gao Xuan and Yun Qingxia enjoyed their intimate moments behind closed doors, Hua Jieyu was tormented with anxiety, pacing restlessly in her room.
Hua Jieyu didn't know if things had worked out, but Yun Qingxia hadn't come out of her room, and she didn't dare to knock.
Perhaps Yun Qingxia was in seclusion, enlightened and cultivating, or maybe she and Gao Xuan were sleeping together.
In either case, it wasn't wise for her to knock on the door.
But, it has been several dozen days, and Yun Qingxia hasn't shown any reaction. How could she not be anxious?
If this lass had benefited, she should at least share a bit with her, she couldn't just fall silent...
After many days of such torment, Hua Jieyu suddenly realized. It must have succeeded; otherwise, there would be some news.
So she decided not to fret, just waiting for Yun Qingxia's news.
If Yun Qingxia refused to acknowledge it, there was nothing she could do. After all, she only gave some advice.
The benefits Yun Qingxia gained were from her own abilities.
For a cultivator, sitting in meditation for decades is nothing. She didn't need to be anxious. Moreover, it was unnecessary to worry.
Even if Yun Qingxia didn't share the benefits, it wasn't wise to offend her. After all, she'd aligned herself with Gao Xuan, and offending him was out of the question.
Having understood these things,
several more months passed, and one day, Hua Jieyu was, as usual, gazing into the distance from the deck.
Being on someone else's ship, Hua Jieyu dared not truly enter secluded meditation. If something happened, leaving her completely unaware and unable to react.
Thus, Hua Jieyu performed her daily exercises, read books when free, or went to the deck to enjoy the scenery.
The view from the deck was vast, with the world under her sight. This scenery never grew tiresome to her.
Hua Jieyu was also somewhat acquainted with several Human Immortals from the Daoist Sect, but it was merely a general familiarity.
She didn't wish to establish too intimate relations with these Humans Immortals, mainly because they were somewhat unreliable.
Chen Jiu Feng, though handsome, was inherently selfish and harsh. Not trustworthy. Chen Royal Court was much the same.
Sikong Ling was nice, just not attractive. As for Celestial Fool, there's no need to mention, he had peculiar habits.
