Wu Long suddenly felt that the Dao Field had a slight change at the sa ti as Luo Mingyu entered a light state of enlightennt, a new, relatively small comprehension of her own Dao Intent filling her mind with further ideas and possibilities.
It was as if she just saw a new angle from which to see a concept, which instantly allowed her to produce nurous ways to explore it. A feat more reflective of the power of her mind than of what she comprehended with the help of Yuanfen's touch.
The Dao Field now acted not only as a connecting bridge between them, but also as a diator, establishing an equilibrium between the flow of connection and thus eliminated the fight for supremacy of two competing forces.
This allowed Wu Long to finally be able to focus part of his attention on comprehending instead of forcefully keeping the balance, giving him insights into both bloodlines.
At this mont, his Blood Rune started pulsating, breaking off from the cycle of rotating around his Grandmist Core with the other Runes, and moving toward his heart.
He still felt absolute control over it, knowing he could make it return to its usual behavior at any ti, but decided to let it move freely for now.
As it reached his heart, the Rune began pulsating, the flow of blood in his body very slightly, almost imperceptibly changing, creating profound patterns within the blood flow, as he finally began perceiving the two bloodlines through the Blood Rune like he used to with the less powerful bloodlines before.
Nie Xiwang sitting outside of the platform was watching intently, her Truth-Seeking Eyes seemingly having comprehended sothing new from the sight of the ripples that Yuanfen's touch of the Dao Intent' conceptual boundary produced.
The sa went for Gong Cui who had an enlightened look in her eyes as she listened to the sound that the formless waves produced when passing through her Zither strings, the changed rhythm giving the sound so profound aning in her ears while sounding just monotone for everyone around.
Ye Ling closed her eyes, feeling that the conditions for ditative cultivation were rapidly improving.
This clued in the others who also closed their eyes and adjusted their postures.
There was a reason Feng Shui mattered in cultivation, as the environnt directly affected the quality of a ditation.
This was also the reason the beauties of the Dao Family usually perford ditative cultivation together in the recent ti, as multiple cultivators in a close proximity could in the right conditions produce synergy, elevating one another.
Previously they could not take advantage of that since most of them were still adjusting to the major shift in their cultivation and the feeling of their own physiques after advancing to the Seven Profound Realms.
At that ti, their ditative state produced chaotic, disruptive aura that would have not just created synergy, but would act in the opposite way, worsening the ditative conditions for everyone around them. Which was why they all ditated strictly separately, choosing the best secluded cultivation location that suited their mindset within Fen Baihu's Dream Realm for each of them.
Now, however, they have mostly stabilized. Not to ntion, that with Luo Mingyu's Dao Intent and Gong Cui's music, they stably produced those right conditions for synergy every single ti.
Though for that, there had to be absolute trust, and the willingness to support one another between them, since the aura of a cultivator in ditation could potentially give minor clues to others about their achievents, as well as a vague idea about the type of cultivation technique they were using.
This was why most cultivators ditated alone, even within their own Cultivation Sects, and spying on soone's cultivation was considered a great offense or even a hostile act.
After so ti passed, Luo Mingyu started reaching her limit, as her Dao Intent was still a massive drain on her ntal stamina, and sensing this, Wu Long began gradually winding down the process.
There was a light sign of instability surfacing once more since the balance was broken, but it was just a minor one.
As Song Lingfei ca out of the trance-like state, she closed her eyes, adjusting her pose and began ditating, as did Wu Long, consolidating their gains.
Luo Mingyu and all of the beauties also did not break their ditative state even though the greater effect of the previous period was gone.
The only one who simply opened her eyes and sat in a more comfortable pose was Fen Baihu, leaning back as wisps of her ethereal mist ford to support her as if she was leaning on large cushions in a relaxed way, her eight tails swaying showing her good mood as she rested her cheek on elegantly bent fingers of her hand and her eyes were watching Wu Long with a smile on her face.
The other one who was not ditating was of course Yuanfen, who never entered a ditative state in the first place.
Her and Fen Baihu's eyes t, and a few small clouds of the fox's mist appeared around the World Spirit, the latter cheerfully giggling as she began playing around with them with her hands as they seemingly followed her every whim. Fen Baihu's eyes were tinged with amusent as she looked at that, and then shifted back to Wu Long.
At one point, thin wisps of mist appeared around Wu Long, as Fen Baihu's vertical pupils slightly dilated, her relaxed pose slightly changing as her tilted head leaning on her fingers straightened, her back also moving very slightly forward as if she half-rose from her 'mist throne'.
The mist around Wu Long was in a way similar to Fen Baihu's and yet, carried darker undertones, and was seemingly heavier, and a bit sinister-looking compared to her dreamy one.
There was also no threads and of pink glow within his mist, rather, there were signs of very dark blue hue.
"The Nightmare Fox...", Fen Baihu whispered the title usually reserved for a male Celestial Fox. Since there were no other Celestial Foxes besides her, she only knew this na and feeling through bloodline mory, as well as heard that such a being was described in so of the ancient texts.
Of course, she understood that Wu Long was still fundantally human, just one that acquired a Celestial Fox bloodline, similarly to Song Lingfei who was not an actual Great Void Eagle but a human with a bloodline of one, but she still felt excited that her man was now at least partly her kin, for her it created a feeling of 'staining him in her color' taphorically speaking, like leaving a bite mark that claid he was her man.
---
A vast, dead plain was before Wu Long's eyes.
It was a familiar place, the first place he ever rembered. At that ti it was stained in blood and the stench of steel, blood and death perated the air.
But even without all that, this place had a dreadful feeling to it. If places had mories, this one rembered all the horrors of warring kingdoms for eons shedding blood here.
Perhaps that was why, the sand, dust and dry land had a red hue to them, as did the sky that seed to be stuck in a perpetual red, bloody dusk.
"Heh, not exactly a park, is it", he chuckled, comparing it to the lush and lively, beautiful scenery of Fen Baihu's Origin Realm.
However, he wasn't at all upset, rather, he was filled with joy as he was finally able to perceive it this clearly, and thus it was only a matter of ti before he could start being able to utilize it.
This place being dead had little aning. Rather, if it had any beauty he would feel at least a bit of pity for what he was going to do with it.
In his past life he had to custom order specialized artifacts to use in stead of hundreds of item-specific Spatial Rings. This ti it seed that he would not need to do so.
Besides, in this life he started carrying vast amounts of Earth and Water, and in the future, there was a possibility of carrying varying kinds of unique types of water, soil, and perhaps even tals.
Not to ntion, that unlike for Fen Baihu for whom her Origin World was far more important than for him, he could experint and unleash destruction within this place not caring for consequences.
After all, while he temporarily stopped experinting with the explosion of salted water - as he finally figured out experinting with sea water and fresh water that only salted water produced the necessary effect - with lightning, it was just because he lacked a place to do so safely and at the sa ti discreetly, not because he forgot about it.
Rather, his mind returned to that idea quite often as he sohow felt so potential in that unusual phenonon. He couldn't forget the first ti he did it on accident, when the spontaneous reaction seed to have so unknown quality to it, and was expanding at a rate beyond whatever he achieved in the later tis. He was never able to recreate that exact feeling, which intrigued him.
At the sa ti, he had other ideas that could be dangerous to try in Fen Baihu's world, or even in the outside world for that matter.
And, if, very unlikely but still not completely impossible, he sohow managed to destroy this world as a result of one of his dangerous experintations, he already knew how to create a Celestial Core.
'If being greedy... I might actually create a second Celestial Core just for that purpose', he thought, since destroying this world would an losing everything he stored in it.
There were, of course other uses he ca up with to use this world, but that was all still waiting for the ti he actually could use it as he pleased.
"Haa~, so many possibilities", he then smiled as if he was having innocent fun, as his mind already stirred with what he would try out in this place.
