The meeting of the golden breeze and the jade dewdrop surpasses countless encounters in the human world.

On the second evening, at dusk, the twilight sunlight slanted into the Tianxuan Pavilion, and Qing Yu finally got up from the bed.

Speaking of which, the evolution of this martial artist is indeed multifaceted, especially upon reaching the Divinity Realm. Even those grain teeth are incredibly resilient. If not for being in the same Divinity Realm, then...

(If you don't know what grain teeth are, please search it yourself.)

Using True Qi to cleanse his body, and then transforming into a daoist robe with Taisu Energy, Qing Yu sighed softly, "I have guarded my True Yang for over twenty years, now lost in a day."

"You're being ungrateful after gaining an advantage."

A pair of jade arms wrapped around Qing Yu's neck from behind, and Xuanzhen gently rested her head on Qing Yu's shoulder, whispering, "I gave you my Yin Essence too. Initially, to advance my Martial Arts, I also practiced the Pure Yin Technique of Kunyin Peak."

Her long hair draped over her back, faintly displaying a jade-white hue, strikingly mesmerizing. However, Qing Yu had no intention to engage in another battle at this moment, merely patting her arm, he said, "Quickly refine the Primordial Energy infused into you; I've cultivated Blood Vault to help stabilize your foundation."

After a night of indulgence, although Qing Yu and Xuanzhen used the Dual Cultivation Method of the Taoist School to fuse their True Qi, because it was their first intimate encounter, they merely sealed the fused True Qi, to be refined later.

Now, having exceeded their enthusiasm, it's time for refinement.

Qing Yu turned, transforming with Taisu Energy into a garment enveloping Xuanzhen, concealing the enchanting sight. The two sat cross-legged, facing each other, with Qing Yu leading the assist to refine the surging True Qi for Xuanzhen.

The dusk sunlight fell upon the bed, a red plum blossom, extremely crimson.

(I think it hasn't crossed the line, no description below the neck.)

························

That night, within the Northern Zhou Imperial City, in Kunhua Palace.

Feng Jiwu rarely refrained from reviewing memorials and ended official duties early to accompany his Empress and daughter in Kunhua Palace.

For a year, Feng Jiwu still had no intention to fill the harem with concubines, and the Empress Si Qingwei showed no signs of a new pregnancy. Northern Zhou, to this day, has not had a prince born.

This is, in fact, somewhat detrimental to the stability of a dynasty. Even more so for Feng Jiwu.

If a prince is not born before suffering the backlash of the Human Dao Will, perhaps the realm of Northern Zhou will fall into the hands of Feng Qiwu.

But······

'The will is affecting the body; my Primordial Spirit, my consciousness, are no match for the vastness of Qing Yu and the Human Dao Will. Now, even my body is affected, a prince, too difficult.'

While looking at his sleeping daughter's face, Feng Jiwu thought.

In recent days, he felt the restless stirrings of the Dragon Vein, perhaps the backlash from the Human Dao Will is about to arrive.

For other Emperors practicing Emperor Martial Art, usually, they are subtly influenced by the Human Dao Will, gradually altering their personalities. But Feng Jiwu, under Qing Yu's protection, has never been affected by the Human Dao Will. If the Human Dao Will truly goes berserk, it would undoubtedly directly erase Feng Jiwu's personality.

'The purification of the Dragon Vein in Meng Province is accelerating, nearing its end. When the time comes, what course should I take?'

This ruthless emperor, who joined hands with others in his twenties to kill his father and siblings, rarely showed confusion.

To him, very few in the human world could leave a mark in his heart, but once there was a mark, it became an eternal brand.

Originally, for Feng Jiwu, his own life was paramount, being assimilated was just that, but after having a wife and daughter, Feng Jiwu had concerns. He suddenly felt that life wasn't that important.

But unfortunately, due to his own strength, Feng Jiwu is about to face the greatest death barrier.

"Your Majesty······"

Si Qingwei, with concern, held Feng Jiwu's hand, "Do you have any worries?"

"No, you're overthinking," Feng Jiwu replied softly.

"If there's a difficult matter, you might consult Daoist Qingyu; he possesses great power and will surely assist you. You should not worry excessively, Your Majesty."

"I understand, I will." Feng Jiwu hesitated and said, "In the times ahead, I intend to spend more time with you and Feng Xi. Qingwei, in the harem, you should call me by my name."

"In my life, you are my only wife. If even between husband and wife, we are so estranged, it may be a bit too sorrowful."

"Then······" Si Qingwei hesitated slightly and finally said under Feng Jiwu's encouraging gaze, "Jiu... Wu."

"Hmm." Feng Jiwu silently tightened his hold on the soft hand.

[Qing Yu.]

[I'm here.] A detached voice echoed in his mind.

[The Human Dao Will truly possesses independent consciousness. Over the past year, it's been manipulating the Dragon Vein Power to purify the Earth Veins in Meng Province, tainted by Po Suji Poison.

Now, the purification is nearing its end, the backlash from the Human Dao Will is about to come.] Feng Jiwu silently spoke in his mind.

With independent consciousness, it cannot not know of its exposure. To prevent Feng Jiwu's targeting, it will surely seize the time to assimilate Feng Jiwu.

Once assimilated, Feng Jiwu will become just like today's Xuan Du, still the same person, but the core would change. Feng Jiwu's consciousness would transform into the shape of the Human Dao Will.

[Everything posthumous, I've arranged. When the time comes, I'll leave it to you.]

[······]

Qing Yu was silent for a moment, then said: [Actually, you needn't be so pessimistic. With my current strength, I can maintain your consciousness. As long as you're determined.]

When I attain the Tao Realm, even the Human Dao Will can be eradicated.]

Although the Human Dao Will has established the stable standing of the Human Race, causing exotic beasts on Earth to gradually vanish, now that the Human Dao Will seeks to harm, Qing Yu will not hold back in the future.

He refuses to believe, without the Human Dao Will, humanity cannot survive?

[Preparedness averts peril, has this not always been your principle? I do not wish the empire I managed with my own hands to be bathed in blood by you, nor during territorial expansion, for the erosion by the Human Dao Will to intensify, lest your barrier holds, my consciousness might not withstand.]

Indeed, the Human Dao Will is not yet at its peak, as long as Northern Zhou continues to expand, the threat will grow step by step.

As for halting expansion, frankly, it's never crossed Feng Jiwu's mind.

Retreat and fear will only result in further assimilation, only perseverance can stabilize oneself.

Moreover, as an emperor, who doesn't wish to expand their territory? Feng Jiwu may not be a formidable martial artist, but he is unquestionably a competent emperor.

[Additionally, I sense an unknown entity in the south resonating with the Dragon Vein, perhaps you could seek its origin.] Feng Jiwu proposed.

[The south, I understand.]
