Xu Ziqing’s body suddenly shook, as if struck by lightning, causing him to feel weak all over.

An overwhelming wave of pleasure surged in an instant, far more intense than anything he had previously experienced!

If the earlier sensation was about merging true energies, this moment was about the convergence of their primordial spirits!

The merging of primordial spirits was something even ordinary cultivators who formed a Dao partner relationship would rarely attempt.

This was because once this method was enacted, not only would they become intimately familiar with each other’s techniques and cultivation levels, but even the most secretive aspects of their primordial spirits would be laid bare to one another.

There could be no concealment whatsoever.

Unless it was truly a couple with a deep mutual understanding, who would dare to entrust themselves unreservedly?

Yet Yun Lie did just that.

His cultivation was powerful, and his primordial spirit had long since undergone transformation, while Xu Ziqing, having advanced to the late phase of the Golden Core stage, had also completely transformed his three souls and seven spirits into his primordial spirit.

However, the newly born primordial spirit was still not sufficiently stable, while Yun Lie’s primordial spirit had been tempered over many years, making it far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. Therefore, he risked a great deal by sending out most of his primordial spirit into Xu Ziqing’s Zifu. Such an act was incredibly risky; if Xu Ziqing harbored even the slightest ill intent, Yun Lie could lose his path to immortality.

And how could Xu Ziqing possibly harbor any malicious thoughts?

It was precisely because he was completely unguarded that he was caught off-guard by Yun Lie’s primordial spirit, immediately intertwining with him, resulting in a tidal wave of ecstasy that nearly overwhelmed him.

If one were to ask what constitutes the utmost bliss in the world, it could hardly be more fitting than the fusion of primordial spirits.

As Yun Lie’s primordial spirit enveloped Xu Ziqing’s, it infused all of its own experiences and consciousness into him, bringing forth a plethora of memories that flashed by like old film reels. Each frame was incredibly clear and sent forth rapidly.

Many insights and experiences, whether from his childhood of arduous sword training or the later stages of his sword path where he grasped sword intent, as well as numerous realizations thereafter—all were poured out without reservation.

How could Xu Ziqing possibly withstand this?

His face flushed, he felt as soft as a puddle of spring water, utterly out of control.

The memories of Yun Lie surged forth, making him feel as if he had accompanied Yun Lie through countless years of experiences. Even the occasional stray thought from Yun Lie could be faintly perceived and vaguely remembered.

…It was also because his primordial spirit was not yet strong enough; otherwise, he might have been able to uncover many deep-seated thoughts within Yun Lie that even Yun Lie himself had overlooked. But even now, knowing that Yun Lie’s feelings for him were steadfast and unwavering was enough to bring a slight clarity to his mind, filling him with boundless joy.

Yun Lie, knowing himself to be taciturn and naturally solitary, seldom revealed his feelings. Thus, this time, he directly poured out his heart, allowing his junior brother to understand.

Xu Ziqing naturally accepted everything, and deep within his heart, he gradually felt more stable.

As he came to understand more about his shixiong, he sensed that Yun Lie had something to ask.

“Do you wish for this?”

“…I do wish for it.”

In the next moment, Xu Ziqing opened his primordial spirit, allowing Yun Lie’s primordial spirit to fully invade him.

If the earlier moment was merely Yun Lie giving and Xu Ziqing receiving, now it was Xu Ziqing responding, completely offering himself.

In this life, for a hundred years, the path to immortality stretched long before them. Amidst many restless thoughts and tangled emotions, he felt not only confusion regarding the great Dao but also a steadfastness in his heart. Various thoughts flitted through his mind, intermingling with feelings for his shixiong—some sweet and sour, some shy and embarrassed, yet also mixed with insecurity and tranquility. Finally, he could walk hand in hand with his shixiong, his affection fully revealed.

The most hidden part of it all was perhaps a past life.

Xu Ziqing sighed inwardly, as the scenes from his past life began to reveal themselves.

It was another mysterious realm, entirely different from this place, definitely not one of those countless small worlds. It seemed as if there were a barrier separating the two spaces.

He feared he could never return… No matter how much he yearned for his family from his previous life, he could not go back.

Even if he eventually found a way to return, his family would merely be mortal beings, likely to have vanished into nothingness.

How much longing and concern were woven into this, and how many trials had his heart endured before he gradually found peace?

Many heart demons had been experienced because of this; only as his cultivation gradually grew could he break through those demons and slowly attain tranquility.

The barriers of emotions were everywhere on the path to immortality; regardless of the method of cultivation, one had to be able to control and transcend them to have hopes of ascending.

Xu Ziqing did not wish to forget the past because he pursued immortality, so he could only strive to let go to maintain clarity.

Like a raging river, his thoughts and feelings were fully revealed to Yun Lie as Xu Ziqing opened his primordial spirit.

Now that they were dual cultivation partners, even the merging of their primordial spirits became a shared experience, and there were no longer any secrets between them.

As Yun Lie absorbed Xu Ziqing’s experiences from both lives, their primordial spirits were nearly fused.

The dark gold entity and the pale green light sphere penetrated each other; though the dark gold was stronger, the pale green light was very accommodating.

In this way, they combined, appearing to merge into one yet seeming to remain separate, creating an indescribable sense of mystery.

At this moment, Xu Ziqing completely opened himself up, and the pleasure of their spirits merging was even more intense than before.

Fine beads of sweat gradually soaked his body, and amid his confusion, he felt a similar dampness clinging to his own perspiration.

His skin flushed an even deeper red from the overwhelming pleasure, transforming into a beautiful hue that made one reluctant to part with it.

In a daze, Xu Ziqing lifted his gaze and saw sweat breaking out on his shixiong’s cold, hard features.

The look in his brother’s eyes had transformed into a chaotic haze.

It wasn’t the deep darkness of being possessed, nor the clarity he usually displayed.

Instead, it was a nearly silver-gray, embodying chaos.

In this chaos, there was nothingness, yet it seemed to bubble with intense emotions, revealing that he was not indifferent.

Xu Ziqing, captivated by the sight, reached out to wrap his arms around Yun Lie’s neck, pressing his tongue into his lips and teeth, entwining them together.

Yun Lie also embraced him, not withdrawing the hardness beneath him but rather driving deeper.

Then, once more, they began to collide heavily.

The ultimate pleasure brought by the merging of their primordial spirits was something no cultivator could resist; combined with the union of body and mind, their limbs entangled tightly together… it plunged them both into a state where they were inseparable, their emotions intertwined.

At the same time, Xu Ziqing, in a daze, seemed to see a massive sword domain, filled with countless towering swords, each containing innumerable sword intents that pointed skyward, as if they were about to break through the heavens. Above the many treasured swords, there hung an inverted galaxy, nurturing a black-gold giant sword, its imposing aura sharp and compelling.

He recognized this as his shixiong’s small universe.

Once, this small universe was merely a prototype, but now the galaxy continued to evolve, seemingly extending an infinite number of stars densely scattered in the high sky.

However, while the killing intent was sharp enough, it also appeared somewhat excessive, as if it were a bit lonely.

As Xu Ziqing pondered this, he seemed to gain some understanding in the depths of his mind.

But what exactly that understanding was, he couldn’t recall at the moment, and soon he fell back into a daze, drifting in the tide of desire.

He was unaware that, although he was acting out of instinct, his Zifu was faintly expanding.

It seemed as if countless thoughts were being infused into it, quickly filling it up; however, after reaching fullness, it fell short in momentum, unable to push further.

And what was lacking…?

Yun Lie’s primordial spirit was currently merging with Xu Ziqing’s; whatever insights Xu Ziqing had, Yun Lie naturally understood clearly.

While still primarily driven by instinct, Yun Lie’s consciousness was much clearer.

Xu Ziqing could see his sword domain, and Yun Lie could naturally also see the slightly comprehended prototype of Xu Ziqing’s small universe.

However, the Zifu had not yet opened, and the prototype of the small universe could not be formed.

Yet even with only some foreboding signs, Yun Lie, with his capabilities, was able to perceive Xu Ziqing’s still-undefined thoughts.

Xu Ziqing’s small universe prototype was almost the complete opposite of what Yun Lie once had; one emphasized life, and the other emphasized killing, both appearing rather singular.

However, during their dual cultivation, Yun Lie had gained Xu Ziqing’s vitality, which greatly benefited his path of killing. Now, being able to witness Xu Ziqing’s early stages of opening the Zifu and small universe, he gained further insights. In an instant, within his sword domain, many treasured swords became significantly more lively.

On those treasured swords, faint wisps of white smoke appeared.

The treasured swords had spirits, and these spirits… were also living beings.

At this moment, Yun Lie also perceived what Xu Ziqing lacked.

Just as Yun Lie lacked vitality, Xu Ziqing lacked the will to kill. What he practiced was the path of life and death reincarnation; if there was only life without death, how could there be any talk of reincarnation?

Over the years, while Xu Ziqing had been decisive in his actions, his inherently kind nature meant he rarely took lives.

It was precisely because he seldom killed that, on his path of life and death reincarnation, life and death were not balanced.

This wood-element cultivator was originally gentle, but since he chose this path, he certainly had some understanding in his heart, which led to this situation. Furthermore, this path does not require absolute balance; rather, the distance between life and death is simply too far apart, ultimately obstructing him.

Thus, he could draw upon killing intent.

That killing intent, of course, would have to be obtained from his shixiong.

Soon, driven by instinct, those thoughts began to stir within Xu Ziqing, using the opportunity of their primordial spirits merging to pull in and absorb the strands of killing intent from Yun Lie.

As this killing intent entered the Zifu, it mixed with his thoughts and gradually grew stronger.

Even if that killing intent was cold and hard, it ultimately belonged to Yun Lie; since Yun Lie’s primordial spirit was intertwined with Xu Ziqing’s, his possessions could certainly be utilized by Xu Ziqing.

Thus, while it was difficult for ordinary people to turn killing intent into their own use, if the killing intent continued to be nurtured, it could eventually be realized.

From then on, for Xu Ziqing to open up the Zifu and small universe, it would just be a matter of time.

The longer the two cultivated together, the more intense the desires around them became, and the circulation of true essence within them grew increasingly rapid.

Their primordial spirits intertwined even more closely, sharing numerous insights and experiences, along with many profound sensations.

As this continued, the emotions between the two became more intense, yielding even greater benefits and a deeper understanding of each other as dual cultivation partners.

Thus, the unity of internal and external, the blending of body and spirit… until finally, it could almost be said they were entangled in a passionate embrace.
