The Red Luan Heavenly Scripture that Hong Luan cultivated was a supreme dual cultivation technique, ranking among the celestial scriptures—peerless methods born from the very fabric of heaven and earth. In terms of grade, it was in no way inferior to Yi Tianxing's Heavenly Emperor Dragon-Taming Scripture. This technique evolved through the act of dual cultivation.
Previously, Hong Luan remained chaste and, as a result, had been stuck at a bottleneck.
The cause was the absence of dual cultivation.
Now, with yin and yang united through dual cultivation, the bottleneck she had faced at the Dharma Phase Realm instantly dissolved. Her Dharma Phase sublimated and fused with her soul, naturally transforming into a Nascent Soul.
Hong Luan advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Moreover, the Nascent Soul she condensed was no ordinary one—it was a Red Luan Nascent Soul. Mysteriously powerful, it stemmed from her extraordinary life diagram: the Red Luan Celestial Star Diagram, which manifested the Red Luan Celestial Star. When activated, this star could stir the desires of surrounding beings, alter fate and romantic destiny, and sway the human heart. Its potential far exceeded mere enchantment.
Mo Xue too received tremendous benefits.
In dual cultivation between man and woman, the intertwining of yin and yang gave rise to innate creation power—a force that benefitted both parties. She clearly felt a powerful innate force blooming within her body, enhancing her cultivation and washing over her physique. Even her bloodline experienced strengthening, as if it were being redefined.
But the one who benefited the most was, without doubt—Yi Tianxing.
His mind was entirely immersed inward.Within his Divine Sea, in the Transmutation Pool, the image of the Ancestral Dragon emerged—vivid and lifelike.
As the yin and yang forces from Hong Luan and Mo Xue entered him through dual cultivation, a unique Yin-Yang Creation Force was born and instantly devoured by the Ancestral Dragon.
Mysterious runes flashed across the dragon's body as chaotic energy surged from the Chaotic Dragon Pool. The yin and yang forces, though derived from the same act, did not merge. Instead, they split into two distinct strands.
In an instant, two Dragon Pearls formed.
"Creation Dragon Pearls… I wonder what surprises await this time."
Yi Tianxing watched silently, anticipation blooming in his heart.Every act of dual cultivation was a profound opportunity—not for mere increase in cultivation, but to enhance his foundation, something far more precious.
Once again, with the special physiques of both women, the Dragon Pearls manifested.
The two Creation Dragon Pearls shot out of the Divine Sea and began to circulate through Yi Tianxing's body. Then, one of the pearls halted along his back—on the left side of the spine—and exploded.
A surge of mysterious energy and creation force instantly opened a new life aperture (命窍).
White runes flickered endlessly inside the aperture, forming a radiant space. Warm light emerged, giving off a sense of purity and sanctity. In that brilliance, all evil seemed to vanish, and even the darkest thoughts dissolved.
A divine figure took shape within the aperture—composed entirely of light, its features identical to Yi Tianxing.
"Light Life Aperture – Origin Manifestation: God of Light."
[Control over light and purification.]
He could now transform into light itself, master brightness, and dispel all evil. Where light existed, so too would his power. This aperture, when perfected, would become one of the most formidable laws of the Dao.
But it wasn't over yet.
The second Creation Dragon Pearl dashed to the right side of his spine, directly mirroring the position of the Light Aperture. It too exploded.
If the previous one brought forth boundless light—this one birthed endless darkness.
Black runes pulsed, drawing strength from the void. Within the aperture, there was only eternal night—directionless, formless, and utterly still. No edge, no beginning—only the grave silence of oblivion.
A second divine figure formed—cloaked in total darkness, surrounded by swirling dark Dao runes.
"Darkness Life Aperture – Origin Manifestation: God of Darkness."
[Control over darkness, entropy, and erosion.]
Yi Tianxing felt a ripple of awe within himself.
Darkness is not evil—it is eternal silence.
The final destination of all things.
With it, he could dominate dark forces and corrode all.
Light and darkness—two opposite forces. Like day and night.Even Yi Tianxing had not expected that these two opposing top-tier life apertures would be born at once.
Due to his vast foundation, both apertures instantly grew strong—immense origin power flooding into them.
Soon, within his Divine Sea, both light and dark apertures merged into his Life Diagram.
The Heavenly Emperor Dragon-Taming Diagram absorbed both seamlessly. The light and dark Dao merged into its divine patterns.
Within the diagram, two new illusory true dragons condensed into form:
One radiant and dazzling—a Light Dragon.
The other pitch-black and terrifying—a Darkness Dragon.
Together, they empowered the diagram, filling it with infinite Dao runes. The Life Diagram grew stronger—more complete.
This alone was more valuable than any mere cultivation advancement.
"You truly are my lucky stars. But this is all thanks to my fate, the wonders of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, and the path of the emperor."
Yi Tianxing slowly opened his eyes. His strength had risen once more.
He looked upon Mo Xue and Hong Luan with tenderness.
Creation Dragon Pearls can open supreme life apertures.This depends on:
Physique and aptitude,
The vast luck of the imperial destiny,
The profound secrets of the Heavenly Emperor Dragon-Taming Scripture,
His identity as a Heaven-Favored Son.
With all these aligned, poor-quality apertures simply could not occur.
"Still, no matter how many apertures I open—they all fall under the dominion of the Emperor's Dao."
He pondered deeply. All life apertures integrated into his Life Diagram, and cultivating the Heavenly Emperor Scripture meant refining both apertures and the diagram.
Others might have many apertures but be unable to command them all, often requiring multiple diagrams.But Yi Tianxing's Heavenly Emperor Dragon-Taming Diagram could contain and rule all Dao.
That was the ultimate difference.
"Husband…"
The two women slowly awoke, their cheeks still tinged with red.
Yi Tianxing smiled. "You're awake. Want to rest a bit more?"
There was a playful glint in his eyes.
Last night had been intense. Mo Xue's Jade Buns and Hong Luan's Ice and Fire Ninefold Heaven were supreme delights—enough to make any man feel the bliss of the divine.
Had it been any other man, they might not have lasted at all.
"No need. Today, we must present tea to the Empress. It is our duty as concubines," said Mo Xue with resolve.
Hong Luan nodded, "Yes, we mustn't keep Sister Zhaoji waiting."
Yi Tianxing chuckled. "Zhaoji is easy to get along with. You'll understand in time. If anything comes up, just discuss it together."
