Xu Ping held her hand, feeling the unreserved trust and support, warm currents flowing in his heart.
He gazed into Duan Shuang’s beautiful eyes, serious: "Breaking through to Divinity Transformation is of utmost importance, requiring thorough preparation."
"I need to borrow your Yin power at the crucial mont, to harmonize the dragon and tiger, stabilize the Nascent Soul, purify the Divine Sense, ensuring nothing goes wrong."
Duan Shuang instantly understood the aning behind these words.
She was not an inexperienced maiden, and having been a Dao companion to Xu Ping for many years, she deeply knew that this "assist" ant the most intimate fusion of Divine Soul and flesh, and understood the significance of her Yin power to a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Yet, her face showed no hesitance; instead, it blood into a more radiant and charming smile, like a snow lotus in bloom, nodding resolutely: "I understand, Xu Lang, I am willing... to do anything for you."
Her words were gentle yet weighed heavily, infused with all her affection.
Xu Ping was moved, reaching to gently embrace her, feeling the softness and trust of her body, whispering: "Shuang’Er, don’t worry."
"I know the importance of Yin to your cultivation foundation."
"Even if Yin is lost, causing slight damage to the foundation, I have ways to compensate and repair it, ensuring it won’t affect your future path and progress."
If it were before, Xu Ping might not have dared to make such grand promises.
Duan Shuang possessed a Pure Yin Body, and her Yin is related to her essence; once lost, it is extrely difficult to compensate.
But now, his Divine Techniques and cultivation are no weaker than Divinity Transformation.
Especially if he successfully advances to Divinity Transformation, his strength will undergo a qualitative change.
By then, to rebuild so of Duan Shuang’s foundation and make up for the loss of Yin, though not easy, will no longer be impossible.
At Xu Ping’s words, Duan Shuang’s eyes overflowed with joy.
She had been prepared to sacrifice so of her path for her Dao companion but didn’t expect Xu Ping to have considered everything so thoroughly, even having a plan for subsequent compensation already in mind.
This is not just about the demand on her body, but cherishing and being responsible for her entire self and path.
"Xu Lang..."
Her heart overflowed with tenderness, burying her cheek deep in Xu Ping’s firm chest, "eting you is the greatest celestial fate in my life, Duan Shuang."
They embraced for a mont, warmth flowing between them.
Of course, obtaining the Yin power was not sothing to do imdiately.
Xu Ping must first adjust his state to the peak, thoroughly set up the guardian array.
When everything is ready, the Divinity Transformation Tribulation is formally induced; only at that most critical mont can he utilize the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, to draw on the source of the lunar essence, offering a powerful boost.
...
anwhile.
Far away in another desolate place in the Nanchuan Realm, beneath a dead barren desert.
Deep underground, a chillingly cold top-grade Yin core.
A skeleton-like thin figure sits cross-legged, surrounded by thick ghostly qi as dark as ink, it is the Nine Nether Elder hiding here to recuperate.
His face was pale and almost transparent, his aura fluctuating uncertainly, sotis strong, sotis weak, the ghost flas in his sunken eye sockets also dimd greatly.
In the battle with Xu Ping, he was first severely injured by the annihilating Sword Intent and Puppet Array.
Then forcibly activated the ghostly qi essence to resist the impact of the Divinity Transformation Nascent Soul’s self-destruction, finally burning his essence to perform the forbidden Escape Technique, the injuries were far beyond imagination.
"Cough cough..."
He emitted a suppressed cough, dark soul blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, "Such strong Swordsmanship!"
He attempted to operate his Profound Skill, absorbing Yin Vein Power to repair his body, but the injuries involved the essence layer of trauma, difficult to recover in the short term.
Only relying on profound roots to temporarily suppress them, preventing further deterioration.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if looking toward the direction of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, filled with unwillingness, resentnt, and a hint of... even he himself doesn’t want to admit to fear.
"Xu Ping... this one’s combat power, far exceeded the old man’s expectations, the speed of growth, even more unimaginable!" Nine Nether Elder’s heart was extrely dark.
He had planned for years, first manipulating insiders within the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, then utilizing Xu Ping to restrain Yun Ting, intending to sit back and reap the benefits.
Unexpectedly, the plan fell apart, failing to steal the chicken and losing the rice, ending in such a dire situation.
"Yun Ting is dead, his Divinity Transformation luck must return to heaven and earth... given that strange Profound Celestial Embryo the junior possesses, he is bound to seize huge benefits from it!"
Nine Nether Elder’s thoughts raced, instantly deducing Xu Ping’s next moves, "He... will surely take this opportunity to break through to Divinity Transformation!"
This deduction made his heart even heavier.
Xu Ping’s foundation is already deep, Divine Techniques grand, Divine Sense strong, now further gaining Divinity Transformation luck, his success rate of breaking through to Divinity Transformation, is perhaps already terrifyingly high.
"Once he successfully achieves Divinity Transformation, with this one’s potential and those few trump cards..."
Nine Nether Elder could hardly imagine the consequences.
Then, his remaining soul body might have nowhere to stand, possibly even be found and completely eliminated!
"Must stop him!"
"In my current state, it’s impossible to stop him..."
His injuries unresolved, strength greatly impaired, seeking trouble with Xu Ping now would an walking into a trap.
After pondering for a long ti, a trace of determination and malignancy flashed in Nine Nether Elder’s eyes, cold like thousands of years of ice.
"The only option now is... seeking collaboration."
"Within the entire mortal realm, perhaps only the Star Palace Saints can truly suppress this one..."
Nine Nether Elder’s target was set on the Star Palace Saints with whom he had dealt many tis.
Together, their strength is enough to outweigh a Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation Dao couple, being the peak combat power of this mortal realm.
