「Land of Lawlessness.」

「Hundred Herbs Garden.」

Kuang Pi lay in the grass, constantly on alert. It was concentrating intensely, its eyes fixed without blinking on the small golden sun that hovered steadily in mid-air.

Time trickled by.

After a long while, the small golden sun suddenly disappeared. Kuang Pi's vision darkened as a figure materialized out of thin air before it.

It was the returning Luo Xiu.

"Xiao Luo, how are you feeling?!" Kuang Pi asked anxiously.

Luo Xiu gave a weak wave and then began to walk forward with heavy steps.

"It was nothing much. I just went over there for a bit and had a chat with the Cave Spirit."

At these words, Kuang Pi felt a wave of relief. It then asked, "So what is the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven really like?"

Luo Xiu spoke weakly, "I'm not sure, I haven't gone in. The Cave Spirit said I can't enter for now."

"Why?"

Luo Xiu explained, "Because I just opened my Human Sanctuary, my body is still very weak. Plus, I have to wait for the Oracle Power to fully integrate with me."

At that moment, conducting a Divine Sense introspection, Luo Xiu could feel remnants of the golden energy circulating within his limbs and bones. That must be the Oracle Power that Cave Spirit Xiao Yu mentioned.

As for the golden "little sun" deep within his Dantian, that had to be the "Human Sanctuary" Xiao Yu had spoken of.

With continuous observation, Luo Xiu was surprised to find that this Oracle Power could even strengthen his constitution, allowing his body to more steadily bear the so-called "Human Sanctuary."

However, what frustrated Luo Xiu was that this domineering and sacred Oracle Power was suffused with masculine energy.

And Luo Xiu, with his Nine Yang Constitution, already had an overabundance of Yang Energy.

"Oh, crap... this is a real problem."

"Don't you have a ready-made Nine Yin Constitution?" Master Ping said. "What's the big deal? Just find her and have a go at it, and the problem will be solved."

Struggling with the roiling energy inside him, Luo Xiu replied with difficulty, "After what just happened... how can I possibly approach her again?"

Master Ping laughed heartily. "Then you'll just have to figure it out yourself, my boy."

Luo Xiu suggested, "How about I find some silicone, stick it in your bottle's opening, and turn you into a... fleshlight bottle?"

"What's that?"

"Never mind, I was just joking."

Master Ping changed the subject. "Speaking of which, are you disappointed with the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven?"

"What would I be disappointed about?"

"Because there are so many people there," Master Ping said.

Luo Xiu nodded. "That's true. I didn't expect so many people to be there. Any name I could think of was already taken, which shows just how many there are."

Master Ping chuckled. "Actually, this Divine Oracle Key is merely a credential to enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven."

"It's only considered rare here in the Lower Realm. In the Upper Realm or the Celestial Realm, it's nothing special. Didn't that Luo Qingxian say she could enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven too?"

He continued, "In the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, especially in planes like the Celestial Realm, many geniuses gain the opportunity to enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven for cultivation due to certain fortuitous encounters."

Luo Xiu nodded. "When you put it that way, you have a point."

"So when you enter that place in the future, you'll be meeting geniuses from across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds," Master Ping said.

Luo Xiu gave a faint smile. "In my presence, do they even deserve to be called geniuses?"

"Go on, be arrogant. When you get bullied later, don't come crying to Master Ping."

"But you're different from those other geniuses."

"How am I different?"

"Because you gained the right to enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven through a key left by an Ancient God."

Luo Xiu thought for a moment. "So, you're saying... I'm an official insider? And those countless other geniuses are just outsiders?"

Master Ping said, "In any case, you'll understand exactly how you're different once you enter the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven. Perhaps... you'll even get to truly see the Divine Oracle."

"Don't you dare leave me hanging. Spit it out."

"Heaven's secrets must not be revealed."

"..."

「In the blink of an eye.」

Night fell.

After finishing the delicacies Dou Dou had cooked in the Kun-stewing Divine Cauldron, Luo Xiu returned to the Green Lotus Palace alone. He found a random room and sat cross-legged in meditation, trying to suppress the violent, surging Yang Energy within him.

Master Ping expressed his concern, "If you keep pushing yourself like this, be careful or your old ailment will flare up again."

"If you really can't bring yourself to ask Lin Xiyue, then the Flower Demon and Luo Ying are also options."

Luo Xiu sighed. "But I can't always rely on this. What would I do if one day there are no women to find? I want to see if I can solve this myself."

Master Ping scoffed. "And how will you solve it yourself? With your hand?"

"Piss off."

"Alright then. Master Ping is off to find Xue Yan. I just remembered a new Taoist Art I want to teach her."

"Damn it! Ever since you took on a disciple, you've stopped caring about your old Taoist partner, haven't you? If you have new Taoist Arts, why not teach me?"

"You are the esteemed Azure Emperor. You possess profound skills and understand the very nature of creation. Do you really need me, Master Ping, to teach you?"

"Fine, I knew you'd say that. Just go away!"

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

Suddenly, a knock echoed from the door.

Luo Xiu tensed up, immediately settling into his cross-legged position and feigning an air of solemnity.

A quick scan with his Divine Sense told him it was Lin Xiyue at the door.

Master Ping tactfully flew over to open the door. He said to Lin Xiyue, "This kid is about to kick it. Go help him out," and then flew off.

Lin Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then walked into the room, looking at Luo Xiu with a peculiar expression.

"Was that bottle just now... with a child's voice inside?"

Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes and said with a serious face, "I forgot to introduce him. That was Master Ping. He's an object-spirit, not a Magical Treasure that has gained sentience."

"Although he has the voice of a child, Master Ping's actual age is venerable. He's from the same era as the Ancient Gods."

Lin Xiyue was astonished. "He's that incredible?"

Luo Xiu asked, "It's so late. Why aren't you resting yet?"

Lin Xiyue rolled her eyes and looked away. "I came to check on you. Why didn't you come back to your own sleeping palace? You left me to sleep all alone. Are you really that scared of me?"

Luo Xiu replied sternly, "I need to meditate and cultivate."

Hearing this, Lin Xiyue nearly spat. She walked toward him and said in a coy voice, "Just keep pretending. Do you think I don't know you? I'd believe you if you said you were going fishing, but meditating and cultivating? You can tell that to the ghosts."

Luo Xiu scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly. "Knowing someone too well really has its downsides."

Lin Xiyue sat on the edge of the bed. After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly said, "Actually... I've thought things through."

"What have you thought through?"

Lin Xiyue said softly, "Well... I've heard Sister Mi talk about the Nine Yang Constitution... how people with it have intense Yang Energy and need women... so it can't be helped..."

Her voice grew quieter. "So, I can understand."

Luo Xiu was speechless.

Lin Xiyue bravely lifted her head to meet his gaze, her expression earnest. "Besides, I have faith in my place in your heart."

"For a man who would silently sacrifice everything for me, I don't think I need to question his feelings."

"So... I can compromise for you."

Luo Xiu's gaze trembled as he stared at Lin Xiyue in disbelief.

He truly found it hard to believe that someone with her personality would actually choose to compromise.

Lin Xiyue's face turned stern. "But let's get one thing straight. Aside from when it's necessary... if you dare to deliberately philander outside, I'll... I'll snip it off and throw it away!"

Hearing this, Luo Xiu frantically clamped his legs together, a chill running down his spine.

Lin Xiyue suddenly reached out and pinched him, her cheeks flushing red. "What are you still stunned for?"

"Huh?"

"Do I have to be the one to make the first move?"

She suddenly leaned forward, tumbling into his arms. "Your Yang Energy is so potent I could feel it from outside the door. Why are you still pretending? If you need it, just say so."

"Uh... Xi Yue, I..."

"Don't talk!"

"Oh..."

"Let's do it!"

"Okay."

"Do you need me to wear... that?"

"Which... that?"

"You know, the kind of thing you perverts like. Didn't you always want to see me wear it?"
