Dual Cultivation.
Rest.
Go out.
Have tea with Pardofelis and Elysia.
Talk to Veliona.
Repeat.
Ironically, our dual cultivation addiction grew stronger. It took up 80% of my time. The remaining 20% are spread out to other activities, including the periodical rotation around Earth to make sure everything's alright.
Nothing much happened. It has been two years since we came to this world—eight months since Elysia's first visit.
Immortal cultivation is inherently slow, but not with sufficient hacks and opportunities.
"...tired…"
Her murmurs reached my ears.
I stood right beside the bed. Kiana's feet stepped onto mine, with her upper body laying on the corner of the bed. The full majesty of her back and her perky butt laid bare in my eyes.
After I retracted my rod from her insides, her body visibly calmed down. My finger swiped on her pink slit, preventing my cum from spilling.
Seeing Kiana having no strength to move, I carried her to the bed. Its cleaning function worked automatically. All kinds of sweat and bodily fluids dissipated. I cast a cleaning spell on both of us.
I couldn't help but notice the flurry of red hickeys all over her body. Traces of my saliva are also there. Then, I looked at my shoulder and chest. The same marks are present all over me.
The evidence is clear.
We really are a pair of perverts.
I brushed her bangs and saw her sleeping well. Her long white hair remained unstyled throughout this ordeal. It is a different taste compared to her double braids that… well, fueled my desires further.
Two years is more than enough to explore all of her battlesuits. Neko Charm, Knight Moonbeam, Flamescion, Finality, New Year's Celebration…
There are also the casual attire, especially the long-sleeved backless sweater.
Thinking about these things made my dick stand up.
I can't even retain my serious attitude as a sword cultivator. Inside this palace, all that ever happened are the unserious stuff.
Worse, I can't help but continue doing it. It is a legitimate way to build up cultivation.
Ever since my main cultivation techniques reached the [Great Accomplishment] mastery, it can be run automatically. That was the reason why I didn't hesitate much to use up the Demon Core of that dragon. It served no use than to grant me a broken dual cultivation aptitude.
I gently brushed Kiana's hair with spiritual qi. It turned into fine brushes at my manipulation. These brushes extended from my fingertips. Connected with the Dao Endowment Hands from sewing, I fixed up her hair with ease. Each strand of her hair emitted a gentle white light. These hands could imbue a certain 'Dao Law' to its targets. It can also transfer the Dao Laws possessed by spiritual objects as well as enhance them.
I took care of Kiana's entire body without any shame. I changed her sleeping posture with her face within the pillow. Finally, I initiated the auxiliary technique that involved recovery through massage. The Dao Endowment Hands went into work—from her head down to her feet. I had zero shame touching her body. Nine out of ten, I already placed it in my mouth once.
I made sure not to disturb her rest. When everything was done, I covered our bodies with a fourth grade blanket. Kiana moved and hugged me sideways like an octopus.
I habitually inspected our daily progress.
{Kiana}
{Body: Late Golden Core (17%)}
{Qi: Middle Golden Core (92%)}
{Mind: Middle Golden Core (87%)}
The exaggerated progress is all thanks to the essences from the four Herrschers' polluted mental power. I consumed them bit-by-bit and then passed it onto Kiana through Tao Gifts.
There is still more than half of it left. There are also the four untouched Herrscher Cores (Bubble World Edition). The mental power of all the honkai beasts in the world is counted separately, amounting to the mental power of four Herrschers. Finally, there are the four untouched Herrscher Cores in my possession plus the five in Fire MOTH's possessions.
I estimated it will take three years to absorb the essences of one Herrscher Core. The ongoing essences of the four Herrschers' polluted mental power takes two years. These are enough to step onto the Nascent Soul Realm.
The remaining eight Herrscher Cores (Bubble World Edition) plus the mental power of all the Earth's honkai beasts will boost our progress further.
Truly, what an unprecedented opportunity this is.
To this end, Kiana and I worked tirelessly. I absorbed the essence, turned it into yang qi, and converted it into creation qi for faster absorption. A small portion of it turned into the nutrients my three automatic techniques require. Another portion went to my continued practice of [Toushen Manual], steadily raising my Five Elements Yin spirit roots towards the high grade.
{Body: Late Golden Core (54%)}
{Qi: Late Golden Core (47%)}
{Mind: Late Golden Core (45%)}
Seele's own progress cut down 30% of the needed progress in the late stage. The efficiency of cultivating without the most optimal conditions showed itself. That was with a hundred and fifty years of cultivation with honkai tempering.
The biggest change does not come from us, but in the real world. The amount of energy ingested by True Lords are dozens of times stronger for the lower realms. It is not a problem to raise all of my "partners" into the Golden Core Realm.
The only problem is their mental states. It is not honed enough. I am not there to remedy this problem of short cultivation time through resources. They can only do it on their own which is risky. Even if they halt the [Two Phase Art], it will only erase the first three tribulations. The Heart Tribulation belongs to their "heart" and occurs the moment they break through; it cannot be cancelled.
It can only be dealt with a fourth level Tao Heart. As such, I asked them to redirect their focus and a portion of the Tao Gifts to comprehend their techniques.
I do not want to see them fail at their Heart Tribulation. It will bring serious injuries, if not death if they do not get past it. Their only choice now is to stay a few percent away from the Golden Core breakthrough.
Nevertheless, there are still a huge amount of Tao Gifts capable of pushing them into the Golden Core Realm.
Today, I heard of Fu Hua reaching the fourth realm of sword cultivation. Her [Blade Mantra] reached the same level as mine, [True Form]. It is more than enough to deal with the Heart Tribulation.
A Golden Core True Lord…
I want to see how Kevin will react to it.
