The two of them gazed at each other for a long moment. It was unclear who made the first move, but when Xu Ziqing became aware, their lips were already pressed together, and they had moved to the bedside.
In that moment, their breaths intertwined. Xu Ziqing sighed inwardly, his expression showing a trace of infatuation.
It had been so many years since they last met… so many years.
Yun Lie’s hand rested on Xu Ziqing’s waist, their chests pressed together as they embraced tightly.
With each breath, the air was filled with a sense of intimacy; their lips and tongues were entwined, desire building between them.
There was no need for words; their emotions, which had been buried for so long, naturally surfaced and were expressed in their closeness.
Before they realized it, their clothes had slipped off, and they had reached the edge of the bed.
They separated briefly. Xu Ziqing smiled gently, lying down, while Yun Lie leaned over him.
Their lips met again, and tenderness filled the air.
Perhaps due to their long separation, Xu Ziqing was not as shy as he had been during their previous dual cultivation sessions. As he wrapped his arms around Yun Lie’s shoulders and back, his fingers tightened slightly.
Yun Lie, usually so composed, seemed unusually intense today. His other hand slowly moved downward, grasping the hardness beneath Xu Ziqing’s body, while his own desire pressed against Xu Ziqing’s waist. Then, Yun Lie began to move his hand rhythmically.
Desire surged like a tide. Xu Ziqing took a deep breath, lifting his leg to rest on Yun Lie’s side. His face flushed, and he couldn’t help but call out softly, “Shixiong…” As soon as the words left his mouth, his entire body reddened.
Yun Lie leaned down, his fingers moving more deftly, and soon, Xu Ziqing released.
A shiver ran through Xu Ziqing, and before he knew it, his body arched, and something entered from behind.
The urgency of this moment was unlike anything he’d ever experienced, yet he found nothing strange about it. Instead, he wrapped his legs around Yun Lie’s waist, moving slightly, urging him on.
Yun Lie held his shidi tightly with one arm, while his other hand slid three fingers in and then withdrew. Afterward, he pressed himself inside.
As Yun Lie entered deeply, both of their bodies paused.
But it was only for a moment. Yun Lie gripped Xu Ziqing’s waist, pulling him closer.
The hardness wedged firmly inside felt almost like a nail driven into him, initially uncomfortable.
But as it stayed there, a searing heat seemed to pulse from within, aligning more and more with Xu Ziqing’s own heartbeat, until it felt as though they were becoming one.
Xu Ziqing’s breathing grew ragged as he realized that today felt different from all their previous times together.
Yun Lie’s movements were heavy, and with each thrust, a tingling sensation spread from where they were joined, flooding Xu Ziqing’s entire body.
Desire built like waves crashing on the shore, rolling over him again and again.
That intense, burning sensation soon left him feeling weak and helpless.
Xu Ziqing’s body grew more restless, and soft moans escaped from his throat. His arms instinctively wrapped around Yun Lie’s neck, pulling him closer. As their lips and tongues intertwined even more passionately, even Xu Ziqing’s toes curled in response.
In that moment, he couldn’t help but open his eyes and look at his shixiong. What he saw shocked him.
Yun Lie’s expression was calm, his gaze focused, but his eyes—at some point, they had turned pitch black.
Just like when he had fallen into demonic cultivation all those years ago, his entire eyes resembled dark jade, deep and bottomless.
What… what was happening?
Xu Ziqing tried to speak, but in the next instant, the force of Yun Lie’s thrusts intensified, rendering him unable to form words.
Yun Lie wrapped his entire body in his embrace, his lips and tongue moving down from Xu Ziqing’s lips to bury themselves in the crook of his neck.
Xu Ziqing could no longer see his shixiong’s face; all he felt was a warm, moist sensation in his neck, and the hot breath felt almost foreign… But he understood it was just an illusion; Yun Lie was still Yun Lie, and always would be.
However, the sensations within him were overwhelming. He could only manage a gasp, his voice breaking and failing to produce sound.
Xu Ziqing’s mind became hazy as he felt himself surrounded by Yun Lie’s aura, incredibly comfortable yet filled with fiery passion, as if he were falling into a dream.
Time passed without his notice until a rush of warmth surged deep within him, causing him to shudder and regain his senses.
“Shixiong…” he barely managed to whisper, only to suddenly realize that the moist sensation brought by that warmth had vanished. He froze for a moment, feeling the trace of heat hidden within the true essence in his dantian, his face instantly turning crimson. It turned out he had unknowingly used the dual cultivation technique to absorb his shixiong’s essence. With no time to feel embarrassed, Xu Ziqing suddenly recalled Yun Lie’s unusual eyes earlier and hurriedly said, “Shixiong, your eyes…”
Yun Lie raised his head, locking gazes with Xu Ziqing.
Only then did Xu Ziqing see that his shixiong’s eyes had indeed turned pitch black, just as they had when he fell into demonic cultivation years ago. However… upon closer inspection, there was a subtle difference.
The edges of those dark pupils glimmered with a faint golden light, so faint it would go unnoticed without careful observation.
Xu Ziqing raised his hand to gently stroke Yun Lie’s eyelids. Then he watched as wisps of black mist dissipated from the edges of the pupils, leaving only the pitch-black pupils, while the surrounding darkness faded away. It felt as if he understood something in his heart.
Yun Lie spoke, “It’s just a result of desire; there’s no need to worry.”
Xu Ziqing sighed in relief, his gaze softening further. It was probably due to the immortal-demon body nature that his shixiong was fine.
After the earlier intimate moment, they had somewhat eased their longing for each other.
Yun Lie did not withdraw from Xu Ziqing’s body, and they remained connected, wrapped in each other’s arms, feeling an increasing sense of intimacy.
This separation had caused them to lose control a bit, but their feelings were deep.
The two held each other tightly for a moment before their lips met once more.
This time, both were much calmer; their true essences flowed back and forth from their point of contact, endlessly circulating, entering the realm of dual cultivation.
Perhaps because they were both in the Nascent Soul stage, this time, their true essences communicated not only aided Xu Ziqing in refining the state of death with Yun Lie’s metal essence but also allowed Xu Ziqing’s wood essence to assist Yun Lie in brewing life amidst the killing intent, mutually enhancing one another.
Gradually, their true essences fused, then separated, mingling their auras, drawing their inner worlds even closer together.
Finally, after circulating their true essences for some time along the dual cultivation path, they gradually came to a stop.
Yun Lie pressed his brow against Xu Ziqing’s, sending his primordial spirit into Xu Ziqing’s Zifu.
As usual, Yun Lie’s primordial spirit surged directly into Xu Ziqing’s, instantly merging tightly.
For them, this was a familiar process; their deep feelings meant they didn’t have to think too much, unlike ordinary partners who needed to be more cautious when merging their primordial spirits. For them, this was just a casual part of their daily dual cultivation and felt incredibly relaxed.
Xu Ziqing opened his Zifu to welcome his shixiong’s primordial spirit, but at that moment, he suddenly stiffened! He felt a sharp sensation pierce his primordial spirit, bringing an overwhelmingly intense feeling like a storm, sweeping through his spirit in an instant. It sent a tremor down his spine, causing his whole body to involuntarily shudder. The intensity of this was simply terrifying!
Xu Ziqing’s consciousness was on the verge of collapse, a sensation akin to being electrocuted made it difficult for him to maintain control, plunging him into a wondrous state. Yet, in his dazed state, he seemed to understand that this was due to his shixiong having refined his sword soul, which meant that his primordial spirit had also transformed into a sword soul. The sword soul was stronger than the primordial spirit, and while their spirits once merged smoothly like milk and water, the sudden presence of the sword soul made it challenging for him to adapt during this first experience.
No wonder… No wonder after his shixiong refined the sword soul, they hadn’t merged their spirits during their dual cultivation; his shixiong likely understood that the sword soul was too powerful. If his Golden Core stage primordial spirit were to merge with it, he would surely be unable to bear it. Not only would it not benefit either of them, but it would also result in a depletion of his primordial spirit. However, now that Xu Ziqing had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, his primordial spirit was stronger than before, and when he merged with the sword soul this time, he could leverage its power to further strengthen his own spirit. This would greatly benefit him in the future.
With this thought, the onslaught of the sword soul continued, and he felt his primordial spirit being constantly washed over, each wave causing him to tremble, but with every wave, he also sensed a solidification of his spirit. Gradually, he grew accustomed to that intense feeling, transforming the tremors into enjoyment…
At the same time, behind Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie, Small Universe shadows appeared.
Yun Lie’s Small Universe was nearly solidified, while Xu Ziqing’s remained somewhat illusory, but compared to an ordinary Nascent Soul stage practitioner, it was significantly stronger.
When their primordial spirits merged, the two Small Universe moved closer together, finally appearing to intersect and overlap, as if existing in two different spaces simultaneously.
Within the sword domain, a heavy killing intent surged, and the sword intent reached for the sky; in the realm of ten thousand trees, vitality thrived, and malevolent energy flowed.
As the two Small Universe connected, their inner realms, auras, and paths seemed to cascade and intertwine like flowing water.
It was as if they were merging two worlds.
In the inverted galaxy, the black-gold sword intent was strong and sharp; in the realm of ten thousand trees, a rich green energy surged above the trees.
A massive Tai Chi symbol stood where the two small Kuntu merged, exuding a formidable presence. At the same time, the inverted galaxy seemed to envelop the Tai Chi, as if incorporating it! The two forces pulled and spun around each other, eventually balancing the Tai Chi above the inverted galaxy.
Suddenly, the giant black-gold sword in the galaxy transformed into a long black-gold dragon!
This dragon let out a long cry, nearly shaking apart the souls of those present!
The continuously gathering green energy in the air seemed to respond to the dragon’s call, rolling over and transforming into a green dragon that soared, piercing down from the Tai Chi’s yin fish, while the black-gold dragon turned around and lifted its head from the Tai Chi’s yang fish.
The two dragons danced back and forth through the Tai Chi, and after several exchanges, their massive bodies connected and entwined in an instant.
The black-gold dragon rose above, while the green dragon swirled below, mirroring the way their primordial spirits intertwined, wrapping around one another.
This was an abundance of meaning, enveloping the two who were dual cultivating.
Connected, Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing’s bodies pressed closely together at their dantian.
At that moment, Xu Ziqing suddenly saw the soul within him open its eyes, its youthful face revealing a hint of expectation.
The next instant, he felt a rush of warmth outside his dantian, as if something had penetrated through.
It was another soul, which suddenly appeared within his dantian.
Xu Ziqing clearly saw that this newly arrived infant looked exactly like his shixiong.
It was his shixiong’s soul!
The black-gold infant and the green infant gazed at each other from a distance, both recognizing one another.
Then, without any visible action, the black-gold infant appeared right in front of the green infant.
The green infant appeared confused and looked over.
At the same time, the black-gold infant opened its arms and slowly embraced the green infant.
In that instant, a sensation like a tsunami surged forth, enveloping Xu Ziqing and bouncing his consciousness back, plunging him into complete oblivion.
