Chapter 2: Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path, Three Targets
The Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path is the most top-tier and core secret of the Harmonious Union Sect in the Luofu World, never to be taught to outsiders.
The Cultivation World, much like this Marvel Universe, suffers from severe class stratification.
Those blessed lands and grotto-heavens capable of producing Foundation Establishment materials have long been tightly controlled by the major top-tier Sects, almost never leaking out.
But in every era, there are always individuals of astonishing talent.
The Ancestral Master of the Harmonious Union Sect, a eunuch from a worldly imperial palace, accidentally obtained a Cultivation method. After achieving Perfection in Qi Refinement, he pondered for decades and finally created the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path.
It embodies the Dao meaning of Yin and Yang opposing each other, and the creation of heaven and man.
As soon as this Foundation Establishment secret method was created, it endured eighty-one Lightning Tribulations. It can extract the purest Yin and Yang Qi from men and women in the World, and it is also a growth-oriented Foundation Establishment method.
With this secret method for Foundation Establishment, even if it starts as a low-grade Foundation Establishment,
as long as one's 'kidneys' can hold up and one continuously strives, there will come a day when one can achieve the highest-grade Foundation Establishment.
Even when one's Cultivation reaches a higher Realm, this Foundation Establishment secret method can continuously enhance and solidify one's Foundation.
The Ancestral Master of the Harmonious Union Sect relied on a bit of illusion.
Among the mortals of the Luofu World, he slept with women and then men, taking one hundred and thirty-eight years to finally become a Grandmaster of the Harmonious Union Sect. Then, through generations of Legacy, the famous Harmonious Union Sect came into being.
Rhein's situation in this Marvel Universe was not much better than that of the Harmonious Union Sect's Ancestral Master back then.
Finding any Foundation Establishment materials in this World is harder than ascending to Heaven.
Of course, Rhein wouldn't go to the extent of sleeping with men.
Although Rhein's System was a pain, it still gave Rhein some benefits, sending a novice gift package.
After fusing with the World imprint of the Luofu World,
the System's novice gift package transformed into three items: the Nine Orifice Golden Core, the Heavenly Talisman Cloud Seal, and the Pure Yang Golden Bell.
The Nine Orifice Golden Core is similar to the one mentioned in 'Fang Laomo,' capable of changing Aptitude, undergoing a complete transformation, strengthening the body, and increasing power, etc. Rhein had already consumed it.
The Heavenly Talisman Cloud Seal is a talismans seal resembling a computer chip, recording thousands of runes, considered to be Cultivation script.
The Pure Yang Golden Bell, on the other hand, was the only physical Spirit Treasure embryo Rhein received.
This item has a profound Origin; it was created by the System, which copied the core imprint of the top-tier supreme treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, from the Luofu World and forged it with the System's Origin.
Anchoring space and time, protecting the mind, concealing heavenly secrets, killing with sound waves, etc.—its divine effects are endless.
Of course, that requires a complete form.
The System only gave a Spirit Treasure embryo, which could barely protect Rhein's Divine Soul and help Rhein in his Cultivation.
For the Pure Yang Golden Bell to fully take shape, Rhein still needed to continuously refine it himself.
But even so, with the Pure Yang Golden Bell's augmentation, Rhein himself could continuously excavate and accumulate enough Pure Yang Qi from within his own body.
Therefore, Rhein had a huge advantage in cultivating the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path; he only needed to sleep with women.
One could say that ever since Rhein established himself in Hell's Kitchen, he had been screening targets for Foundation Establishment.
Over two full years,
Rhein initially screened out three targets.
The first was Mary, the female Superman from "Hancock." She and Hancock were originally a perfect match.
But for some unknown reason, whenever the two got close, they would both become incredibly weak.
A thousand-year-old virgin, powerful, full of Pure Yin Qi, and most importantly, with a good personality—a top-tier virtuous wife and loving mother.
The second was a Witch named Isabel who came from California.
After Rhein's extensive investigation, he discovered that this Isabel should be the female lead from "Bewitched."
Born into a Witch family, her strength is unknown, and the Pure Yin Qi in her body is incredibly spiritual.
Furthermore, Isabel was fresh out of the gate, innocent and lively, and seemed very easy to fool, so Rhein included her in his targets.
The third was Gwen Stacy.
Unlike Rhein's expectation of "The Amazing Spider-Man," Rhein's investigation revealed that there were three Peter Parkers around Gwen, attending elementary school, middle school, and university, respectively.
At the same time, there were three somewhat similar families: Aunt Mei, Aunt May, and Grandma Mei, which was ridiculous.
Three Spiders in one frame were realized many years in advance, but no Spider-Man had appeared yet.
In this situation, Rhein decided to help Gwen become Ghost Spider. If successful, her transformation would be enough to produce astonishing Pure Yin Qi of creation.
Two years of Qi Refinement.
Rhein had long consciously 'protected' all three targets.
Many men who wanted to approach the three women mysteriously encountered numerous accidents, either injured or dead.
It wasn't until Rhein achieved Perfection in Qi Refinement that he made up his mind to first secure Gwen.
Nothing else, Gwen was the easiest to secure.
Just this year, Rhein used a bit of 'money power' and influence, and during another celebrity back-to-school speech, he became Gwen's confidant senior.
A girl who had just turned eighteen and just graduated from high school is always easier to handle.
If it were the female Superman Mary, or the Witch Isabel,
if things went wrong, the current Rhein couldn't handle those two women and might even be beaten up.
Anyway, as long as Gwen became Ghost Spider, it would be enough for now.
The Foundation Establishment secret method of the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path can ensure that he doesn't have to achieve Perfection in this Realm all at once.
When his strength grows in the future, it wouldn't matter to deal with Mary and Isabel then.
This led to Rhein and Gwen's three consecutive dates.
In fact, Rhein had already planned that after this date, he would find a way to enter the Osborn Group to help Gwen become Ghost Spider.
At that time, he could Dual Cultivate the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path with her and pluck the Foundation Establishment fruit.
Chapter 3: Gwen's Sense of Justice, Saving the Punisher's Wife and Child
On a slightly deserted but not desolate park path, eighteen-year-old Gwen's laughter was clear and crisp.
Especially with her excellent Western female physique, her two 'little bunnies' bounced conspicuously.
Even though Rhein had lived two lives, he was often captivated by Gwen's youthful and vibrant aura, getting a little distracted.
Blonde, youthful, beautiful, hot.
One has to admit, as one of the Marvel Luck-blessed women, Gwen has 'something' about her.
Most people couldn't resist the charm emanating from Gwen.
Rhein inexplicably felt a bit grateful that his father-in-law was a Police officer; otherwise, he might not have been able to protect Gwen as she grew up safely.
The two chatted and laughed. By the time they reached a third of the way down the park path, the sky was already getting dark.
Rhein, relying on some small tricks included in the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path Legacy, was very much liked by Gwen.
And just as Rhein was contemplating taking some 'interest' before Dual Cultivation,
a cacophony of voices quickly reached Rhein's ears.
"F*ck, why are there ordinary people here? Press, how did you do the lookout?"
"Boss, this woman, she wouldn't be a cop, would she?"
"Cop your sister, you idiot! What cop brings her son to catch drug dealers? Hurry up and deal with them."
"Hehe, Boss, before you deal with her, can I have some fun?"
"Fun your mom! You're high on drugs, aren't you? Don't let the seller look down on us."
The cursing voices grew closer.
Without Rhein's reminder, Gwen quickly saw several armed individuals in the distance, surrounding a woman in her thirties with a child.
"Rhein!"
"Don't be scared, and don't make a sound. They won't find us."
At the corner of the path, seeing the sudden crime scene, Gwen was clearly a little frightened.
Rhein took the opportunity to pull her into his arms; a warm fragrance filled his nostrils.
However, Rhein clearly underestimated Gwen's sense of justice.
As one of the Spider-Man candidates, Gwen, after her initial panic, quickly clenched her fists, having the urge to rush out directly.
Rhein felt a slight headache and quickly pulled Gwen tighter, holding her.
"Gwen, don't be impulsive."
"Rhein, they're going to kill that mother and son."
"I know, but they have guns. Let's call the Police and let them handle it..."
