Dual Cultivation God Returns

Two days later, as the ladies mostly recovered enough to return to their daily lives, the ones who recovered the most being pure Dual Cultivators, Wu Long could no longer delay his trip and departed with Hua Ziyan after giving farewell kisses and hugs to his beauties.

The caravan of women of former Supreme Master Pavilion victims who would be now living in the town by the Yin Yang Unity Palace has already left a little before Wu Long's seclusion, guarded by Liang Yuhan's secret troops per her offer which he gladly took.

Most of those women would be joining either the Soaring Feather Trading Company or the Liugwei Escort Agency, though there was also a smaller portion that would settle in the more peaceful normal life in the town.

"You waited for Mingyu to exit her seclusion?"

Hua Ziyan asked him as they traveled at a high speed, not bothering to cover up their tracks or be discreet this time. She noticed that he delayed the trip as long as he could without jeopardizing their participation in the event.

He also had to consider the time they had to travel with the other people he was taking there, a few days in the sect and anyunforeseen delays, so there was no way to wait any longer.

"Mm, I wanted to be there when she is done contemplating in case she needs something"

He nodded, since he was not sure what results the beauty would yield. Though the prolonged period of her contemplation suggested that she was on the verge of a breakthrough, there could be something crucial missing which she would require to supplement, and the less time it takes to do that the better were the chances of her success.

"Don't worry, Sister Ling is going to be there when she comes out. Mei'er is also going to support her with everything they have. Not to mention, you brought Her Highness Princess Cai Yin who could tremendously help her"

Hua Ziyan reassuringly said, and he turned to her with a tender gaze. This beauty was trying to comfort him when she was worried for her friend as much as he was.

Wu Long was also impressed that she figured out one of his ulterior motives in bringing Cai Yin from the Tingren Kingdom not to the sect where she could equally be protected and slowly recuperate, but to the mansion.

He slightly slowed the speed at which they traveled eventually taking a stop, and put his hand to her cheek, caressing it with the back of his fingers as her face lightly blushed, but she did not move her eyes, looking him straight in his eyes with a sincere, devoted gaze.

"Thank you, Ziyan"

He smiled, and leaned in to give her a kiss she eagerly answered. At that moment, it was as if time has stopped and everything else faded. Hua Ziyan felt herself to be the most loved, the most cherished woman in the entire universe.

It was a strange feeling considering she knew he had other women, and felt closeness to most of them by now. She also knew that he did not make any one of them special among others.

But there was something tender and loving in that kiss, something in his gaze, that let her know how precious she was to him, and that he looked only at her at this moment.

She knew that it was this that made women who would normally not accept their man having other women like Sui Luxiao or Wei Lan accept him with no bitter feelings or hidden grievances. That way in which he made each and every one of them feel special, and in reality regarded them as such with his heart.

As the moment passed, their lips parted and they continued on, but not before giving each other a smile.

"By the way, you have a slight fluctuation in your aura... is it because of your training?"

Hua Ziyan asked as she noticed signs of very slight, barely perceptible volatility which was highly unusual for Wu Long who practiced the most robust techniques and did so with absolute precision. His aura was so solid after just breaking through that one would think he spent a minimum of a hundred years after each breakthrough solidifying his achievements.

Even when he had problems with his foundation because of his talent, prior to resolving that part of it with the help of Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art's 3rd layer, his aura remained incredibly stable.

He chuckled, impressed yet again, this time at the fact she noticed it. But then again she was just that sensitive to his condition, and shared the bond which helped her in doing so.

"Yes indeed, you see I have been experimenting with my Body Tempering technique a little, so it will become a little volatile from time to time. But I expect to yield something good"

He smiled and nodded with an ambitious gaze while her expression expressed light shock but then eased into a rueful acceptance. It was something he spent most of his time on in the two days since the accidental explosion.

Tampering with one's method of cultivation while practicing it was normally a suicidal behavior for cultivators, but it was the way he initially perfected his Golden Yang Dragon Body so it was not something new to him. He was making slight adjustments while calculating and contemplating further changes.

If he was said to have any sort of 'talent' that was not the talent of cultivation, or not related to his undeniable talent in battle, it would be the talent of picking apart, studying, understanding, combining and tampering with knowledge, technique and skills.

In this aspect alone, he had almost no equal no matter where he went in his life as countless people tried to challenge it and were left wallowing in their defeat.

But this talent required much effort, time, dedication and accumulation of knowledge and experience to truly flourish and give him benefits.Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.nᴇt

And while being a big factor in his initial rise to glory, it never had the immediate and direct effect that people with conventional heaven-gifted talents were able to boast.

"You all will also have something to look forward to soon"

He smiled with a mysterious grin. He was also at the same time working on a body tempering technique for his women, but to create it he required knowledge, knowledge he did not have at hand for now.

"Haha, we always have that with you, Wu Long"

She chuckled revealing a smile that almost made him ignore the fact she just recovered from the last cultivation session and did not have the strength to go for another one yet.

The two reached the Yin Yang Unity Palace a day after departing from the mansion.

"Master, we have arrived. I am glad to see you in good health"

Both respectfully greeted Lian Zhiqiu in her mansion atop the Peak of Unity, cupping their hands and slightly lowering their heads.

The Yin Yang Unity Palace Master was in a bold black cheongsam with golden patterns, bright orange lining, and detached long sleeves, which revealed black stockings from the dangerously deep cuts in the lower parts and black high-heels. Her long orange-brown hair freely fell behind to her back, with two smaller locks going the sides of her impressive chest. She top of her head was adorned with a traditional black and golden hat that made her overall appearance full of dignity of the Sect Master despite the revealing clothing.

"Nn, my precious disciple. I am glad to see you as well"

The Palace Master quite conspicuously only addressed Hua Ziyan, moving toward her, nodding and smiling at the beauty who looked back at her with a slightly surprised expression.

"Heavens, you have already reached Core Formation! Hahaha, truly remarkable, congratulations"

Lian Zhiqiu continued as she looked at Hua Ziyan who did not conceal her cultivation before the Palace Master, something they previously discussed. This time her voice was genuinely surprised, and then her surprise quickly turned into joy.

"Ehm... thank you Master... I..."

Hua Ziyan cupped her hands again as she secretly glanced to the side with a little puzzlement but seeing a wide smile on Wu Long's face calmed down.

"W-we will take a bit of rest in the sect before departing to the Winter Forest Hunt"

She turned to Lian Zhiqiu with a smile who nodded.

"Of course, I will be there to send you off, but I will say it here in private. Make sure to show them!"

"Yes Master"

The Great Seductress revealed a confident and proud smile of a Master sending her Disciple to show her brilliance. And Hua Ziyan became slightly shy, but a smile touched the corners of her lips as she looked down with a bow. The feeling of being trusted with her Master's and the sect's dignity was something she felt with renewed strength.

"I have something to discuss with the Palace Master, Ziyan, so you can go ahead of me"

Wu Long said to the Prime Disciple when she turned to leave, winking and gently touching her forearm as she slightly widened her eyes and then chuckled while leaving.

She may have been a little puzzled about the treatment he got at first, but she was not blind or oblivious enough to not notice the obvious signs, especially since it was something previously discussed between her and her Senior Apprentice-Sister Ye Ling.
