"Mu Dan?"

"Hey," Mu Dan immediately responded from the corner.

Wang Jixuan said, "Get in touch with Lao Fu immediately and have him strengthen the guard. Ling Tong's whereabouts cannot be easily leaked; she is now my weakness. If possible, bring her down."

"Yes."

Mu Dan answered with a serious face and turned to leave the hall.

He Ruli provided them with the equipment to communicate with the surface, but you need to go to the tower near the city wall to smoothly transmit the electromagnetic waves.

Wu Man asked, "Teacher, are these three complete spirit cultivators?"

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.

He looked at Amina and Nierdamon and said softly:

"The feeling they give me is completely different from these two. They are old and weak, their Qi and blood waning, and after I knocked them down, some marks like deadwood appeared on them."

Nierdamon said, "Seeing them, I suddenly thought of a rumor."

"What rumor?" Amina asked.

"They say, a group of spirit cultivators approaching death, despite choosing candidates according to tradition, are secretly conspiring something, and have started moving around frequently."

Nierdamon carefully recalled:

"I first heard this rumor thousands of years ago, seemingly related to the technology that Hei Yao and the others took from here for the first time."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Amina, is there a technology list that He Ruli gave them?"

"Yes," Amina pursed her lips and furrowed her brow, "I think you might not want to see this."

"Bring it over for me to see."

"Hmm," Amina gently guided with her fingers, and a scroll floated in front of Wang Jixuan.

Daoist opened it and quickly fell into a state of speechlessness.

Isn't it;

He Ruli seems quite shrewd as a person, how was she so impatient in doing things before?

Was she about to divulge the entire foundation of the Yina Civilization?

However, with a little thought, Daoist Wang roughly understood.

It was Hei Yao who found this ancient relic, and only then did He Ruli awaken from the chaos, allowing Cloud City to be reactivated.

He Ruli's state at that time must have been extremely poor, and seeing that it was the 'legal successor' of the Yina Civilization, a spirit cultivation civilization, initially, she provided a large amount of deadly technology at once.

Including but not limited to, Jile Sky, Eternal Life Illusion, the derivation and manufacturing of the Spiritual Energy Circuit, the additional lifespan extension technology of the Core Circuit...etc.

This list also revealed another problem.

As He Ruli's consciousness gradually stabilized, the residual soul of the Great Pioneer awoke again, and active souls emerged within the leadership hall, the technology He Ruli provided became increasingly marginal, increasingly unimportant.

Thus, the forces on Hei Yao's side also gradually lost interest here.

"Alright."

Wang Jixuan threw the scroll back and waved his hand:

"Amina stays, everyone else should go back and rest. I'll be in seclusion for half a month to further enhance my power."

"Take a look at this list so that we have an idea of how tricky our future enemies may be."

"Also, after this breakthrough in seclusion, I'll need to slowly enhance myself, so don't have too high expectations of me. I can't fight five or ten at once, nor is it likely I'll immediately overturn the Blade Beast and this sinister force in the short term."

Everyone smiled slightly.

Soon, only Wang Jixuan and Amina were left in the hall.

Wang Jixuan wrapped the area with a layer of mana, invited Amina forward, and placed a cushion opposite him.

Amina seemed to transform, with a puff, into a smaller size to make communication with Wang Jixuan easier.

Her whole demeanor instantly relaxed, her little face drooping, sitting opposite Wang Jixuan, full of frustration.

"I know what you want to ask, it's about Hei Yao, right?"

"Exactly, he seems to be your dad?"

"Your dad!"

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan squinted his eyes, "Are you subtly expressing your love for me? Sorry, I already have a girlfriend, you're a nice person."

"Bah!"

Amina glared with almond-shaped eyes:

"You were just about to die, and now you have the spirit to tease me?"

"Hey, the energy just passed."

Daoist smiled awkwardly:

"I was indeed severely hit. In two lifetimes, I've attempted to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation twice, and both times I failed.

"Especially the second time.

"I maximized everything—my Dao Heart, Dao Realm, Tao Foundation—all that I could think of. I spent six thousand years supplementing them, even going around saving civilizations and accumulating virtue by doing good deeds.

"And yet, I still failed.

"The Heavenly Tribulation seems to have a grudge against me. We cultivators have a lifespan of at most three thousand years, I managed to extend mine to six thousand years, and still, it wasn't enough..."

Amina's eyes showed a hint of sympathy.

She had been with Wang Jixuan for some time now.

Becoming immortal was Wang Jixuan's obsession, his Heart Demon; Amina could even understand that a large part of why Wang Jixuan got close to Lingtong was to perfect his own Dao Heart.

Amina asked, "Do you know where the problem lay?"

"I have no idea," Wang Jixuan supported himself on his arms behind him, "So I'm quite conflicted now. There was a blank period in between."

"A blank period?"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan counted on his fingers, "The Stone of the Past can only show the parts of the image it sees. I don't know what happened after my residual soul from my second life left this place over twenty years ago and before I awakened in Mu Liang's body."

Amina asked, "Who knows about this?"

"Ye Zi, she should know something."

Wang Jixuan quickly added:

"Ye Zi had told me before that she started to awaken memories of her past life only after meeting me.

"But think about it—how old was Ye Zi? A teenager.

"At that time, how old was Mu Liang? Twenty-four.

"What happened during those ten years?"

Amina said, "It seems like this Ye Zi is indeed a key figure."

"She's crucial. Right now, I just want to pin her down and truly question her," Wang Jixuan rubbed his temples, "I must know the specific details of the second time I crossed the tribulation."

Amina nodded seriously, "So why did you leave me here?"

"Dual cultivation."

"What?"

Amina seemed to have heard wrong, her eyes widened at Wang Jixuan first, then her pretty face turned blush red, and her body was somewhat tense.

She wanted to get up and refuse him sternly; after all, she wasn't a woman to give in easily, but mid-sentence, she realized this might be related to enhancing power to counter enemies.

Countering enemies, continuation of civilization, these are big things;

as for dual cultivation, it seems beneficial for both;

This... is not impossible... and I shouldn't let him underestimate me. It's just a fleeting relationship of one or two times, after all, she's an old maiden of seventeen thousand years...

Amina brushed her hair at her ear, pretending to be composed, and hummed lightly.

Wang Jixuan suddenly laughed, "Don't misunderstand. The dual cultivation I'm talking about isn't like with Lingtong, which is daoist couple dual cultivation, the Yin Yang Dao, which is not suitable for a spirit cultivator like you. If we do it that way, I would absorb about eighty percent of your power, turning you into the weakest spirit cultivator, which would mean losing a major player for our side."

Amina sighed in relief.

Yet there was a tiny bit of disappointment.

She asked crisply, "Then how do we dual cultivate?"

"I'll find a way to help you first recover from your injuries and boost your power."

Wang Jixuan briefly explained the process of their dual cultivation.

Both of them extract part of their mana and spiritual energy and blend them outside their bodies, helping each other nourish the soul or primordial spirit, thereby achieving enhancement.

Wang Jixuan actually hid a part of the process.

He wanted to merge his Mahayana Soul with his current Primordial Spirit, a process fraught with dangers; if there was a force to mediate, the risk level would significantly decrease, and Amina would also gain unexpected benefits.

Nierdamon or Sabina could both do this;

But to Master Wang's heart, there was naturally a scale, and closeness was just human nature.

"Prepare a little here, and when you come back, we'll start immediately."

"What do I need to prepare?" Amina asked softly.

"Half a month of time, a nice dress, preferably a form-fitting one; something pleasing to the eye."

"Hmph, lecher."

Amina rolled her eyes beautifully and turned to leave.

She had just left when Mu Dan hurriedly returned.

"Officer, I just made contact with the Commander. The Commander said that although the whole line of the Blade Beast group has started to contract, something unusual is happening. We suspect it might be the new Three Spirit Cultivators stirring up trouble!"
