Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 176 The Seven Paths of Pleasure

Wei Lan woke up in Wu Long's embrace and an inexplicable feeling of happiness spread through her. She felt comfort and warmth inside these arms as she leaned her naked body against his.

When she looked up she saw him looking into her eyes and she instantly lowered her head back with slightly rosy cheeks. Yesterday he held her until exhaustion and as she thought how she must have looked in throes of passion a redness further spread through her.

"Good morning"

He said with a light smile and kissed her forehead. A smile touched her lips at this tender gesture. She reached out and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you. That was... incredible"

She said as she could not find accurate words to describe her experience. He only smiled and kissed the top of her head in response.

"Was that what dual cultivating is like?"

She asked and he chuckled.

"Hmm, you could say that, as I did use a little bit of my skills, but only a bit since it was your first time.

What I used is called the Seven Paths of Pleasure, though I only used the first path, and not to its full capacity as every path has ten gates. We got close to the first gate at the end of yesterday's night"

Wu Long explained. He indeed did not start from common mortal pleasures but used his skills as a Dual Cultivator with her right from the start as she was a Foundation Building Expert and could handle it.

The Seven Paths of Pleasure is an agglomeration of Wu Long's knowledge and skills in Dual Cultivation in his own technique, which was largely responsible for earning him the title of the God of Pleasure. He was working on the eighth path when he fell down from grace and never released the 4th to 7th paths to the public as he deemed them dangerous, so it was more commonly known as the Three Paths of Pleasure in the Seven Boundless Worlds.

The second gate of the first path, the Path of Mortal Pleasure was what made all of his women feel the indescribable pleasure that sent them to the heavens in the cultivation session they all had together. The paths were arranged in the ascending order of the intensity of pleasure, and subsequently, difficulty in mastery. So while the first path was relatively widely used in the world of Dual Cultivators, the higher up they went, the less practitioners could boast of being able to perform them.

What was interesting about this technique, was that the paths could be used simultaneously, and partially, meaning that this technique held an incredible amount of combinations and possibilities.

"F... first gate? That was only getting close to the first gate?"

"Hehe, yes, but you will gradually be able to handle more. I also cannot perform most of the upper gates at the moment since my cultivation base is too low"

He reassured her while she was still in a daze that the unbelievable pleasure she felt the night before was only the first gate of seventy if she counted all seven paths.

Wei Lan did not learn the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art, but since Luo Mingyu uncovered the part of the second layer that allowed him to cultivate in the act with someone not using the same technique, he did not cultivate after the night was over, as he did so while giving her pleasure and then went to cuddle her into sleep.

The more pleasure he gave the stronger the Yin Qi she released, but he did not want to drive her mad with pleasure so he stopped at what she could handle at the moment. Of course, even going full first path will not drive someone with such strong mental fortitude crazy, even though the amount of pleasure considerably increased with each gate, but even temporary loss of cognitive functions was not what Wu Long intended to give his partners. Only what they could comfortably handle while staying in their right mind.

He was still fresh from increasing his cultivation base so he improved his Spiritual Qi instead. But the Pure Yin Essense and Yin Qi of a 7th-level Foundation Building expert was incredibly potent, so he increased his unbelievably large for a Qi Condensation Realm practitioner permanent reserve of Spiritual Qi by 20%, an astonishing progress if considered how much it grew with all the cultivation he had done up to now to improve it.

After they stayed a little and cuddled they got up and dressed. Once Wei Lan saw the others her face immediately became rosy again as she saw from their faces that they all knew everything. They took her away somewhere on the ship so they could talk privately with excited voices and expressions while Wu Long chuckled and shook his head at how eager they were to hear all the details. As they gained a new comrade in her face, the last wall of reservations completely crumbled.

Wu Long only had time to ask Luo Mingyu to teach her the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art, and then they were gone.

The ship traveled forth at high speeds for around a week after that. Any demonic sea beasts they met were quickly disposed of as they knew how to avoid zones with dangerous ones. They met a few ships that were part of the blockade which saluted them and let the ship through as soon as they confirmed that it was really Cao Mei and her crew.

During the travel, when Cao Mei first saw Wei Lan after their last talk, she smiled and congratulated her, as she could instantly see the difference in glow and atmosphere. Wei Lan thanked her in turn, as an idea of how she could really thank her appeared in her head when she saw a slight look of envy in Cao Mei's eyes and thought back to their previous talk.

The male crew was now running away from any of Wu Long's beauties on sight so the only ones who talked to them were the female crew members. This did not hinder them as they were also not really interested in other men.

One day Luo Mingyu was looking into the distance while leaning on the rails of the upper deck. Ye Ling approached from behind and leaned on the rails beside her.

"Still worried?"

Luo Mingyu slightly trembled as she was shaken out of her thoughts.

"I... I know what Wu Long said is true, and I should not do something reluctantly because of others... but when I think about how powerless I am to help while everyone is in the battle..."

She said, her words trailing off at the end as she sighed. She was still a young maiden, despite all of her wisened knowledge that she accumulated and extrapolated at an astonishing speed, it was not so easy to reconcile her emotions regarding that.

"Hmm, you know, even those Dao Cultivators who do not practice Equilibrium Dao are not completely powerless to help"

Ye Ling said ponderingly.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Hmm, well, it is not something confirmed, but there seemed to be a power that Dao Cultivators had, that was similar to Sword Intent, in fact, it was the beginning of such abstract powers. It is just that Dao Cultivators lost that knowledge with time and it remains simply a hypothetical one since"

Luo Mingyu's interest instantly got piqued and she perked up her ears. Seeing this Ye Ling chuckled and continued.

"It is called the Dao Intent, and technically, it does not have any fighting uses, but theoretically, a Dao Cultivator could expand a Dao Domain, or Dao Field that envelops an area, much like the Sword Domain Wu Long showed us before... and in this Dao Field any allies could be given a boost in powers, granted that the Dao Cultivator is familiar with the techniques their allies are using, but since most of the techniques Wu Long teaches are taught with your help... well, you know"

Ye Ling smiled as Luo Mingyu nodded to her.

"Thank you, Sister Ye Ling!"

She gratefully added and turned her eyes to the horizon.

"Dao Intent..."

Luo Mingyu whispered as a light of excitement flashed in her purple eyes that reflected the sea.

After a few days of passing the blockade, they started to see islands in the distance. Cao Mei sighed with relief as she detected from the winds and various other signs that a typhoon was going to descend soon and meeting it in the open sea was not the best idea.

As they disembarked the people of the island met them generously, providing accommodations to everyone, as there were always spare huts and small houses in the island village for them. And since Cao Mei's crew was smaller than usual, Wu Long and his women were able to get accommodations without problem as well.

Wei Lan finished learning the first layer of the technique but was a little surprised when Luo Mingyu did not explain the second layer as well and only smiled at her.

On the first evening on the island, after a delicious meal that left her happy, she then arrived with Wu Long at a small hut he was allocated.
