Chapter 86:
(In the underground chamber)
The spiritual Qi swirled, flowing into Xu Ze's body.
The technique he was cultivating, 'Holy Fire Burning Heaven Technique,' was reaching a critical point.
Breaking through the sixth level, he gradually entered the seventh level.
When the 'Holy Fire Burning Heaven Technique' was perfected, its power wasn't inferior to that of the Demonic God's Evil Technique.
Moreover, through nine lifetimes of reincarnation, Xu Ze had already perfected this technique. When fully mastered, its power surpassed that of the Demonic God's Evil Technique. However, the 'Holy Fire Burning Heaven Technique' was a method that required a solid foundation and steady progress to achieve supreme mystical power.
Soon, a buzzing sound echoed as heat waves rippled from Xu Ze's body. The breath of the holy fire surrounded him, gradually changing from red to green.
Beside him, Qu Qinghan sat cross-legged on the jade bed, her eyes slightly closed, exhaling a cold mist.
A thin layer of frost had already covered her body.
As the ice flakes fell, Qu Qinghan seemed even colder, exuding a stronger chill.
Her eyes sparkled with a cold light, her icy skin and jade bones revealing a more celestial beauty.
'The Ice Pure Jade Technique' had advanced to the sixth level!
"... I finally caught up with the Holy Son."
Qu Qinghan opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her, who seemed like a furnace.
"Huh?"
Qu Qinghan widened her eyes. She noticed that Xu Ze's cultivation was increasing at a terrifying rate. The mystical power within him roared like boiling magma.
"The Divine Transformation Realm? No, the Holy Son seems to have two different auras within him."
"Two aura, both at the Divine Transformation Realm?"
Qu Qinghan was astonished.
Indeed, Xu Ze's greatest trump card was that he had two distinct cultivations within him.
One represented holiness and justice, the 'Holy Fire Burning Heaven Technique.' The other represented corruption and sin, the "Demonic God's Evil Technique."
For an ordinary cultivator, practicing two techniques simultaneously would cause the energies to merge into one.
But within Xu Ze, these two distinct techniques each occupied half of his being, growing independently.
As a result, Xu Ze had two Divine Transformation Realm cultivations within him!
Qu Qinghan rubbed her eyes hard.
However, upon opening them again, one of the energies vanished, leaving only the surging holy fire burning fiercely.
"How is this possible? Did I sense it wrong?"
Qu Qinghan had never seen anything like this.
Even with the memories of her past nine lifetimes combined, she had never seen anyone possessing two distinct cultivations simultaneously.
It meant that although Xu Ze appeared to be at the Divine Transformation Realm, his actual strength was equivalent to two Divine Transformation Realm experts combined.
No, it might even be multiplicative rather than additive!
While Qu Qinghan was puzzled, Xu Ze opened his eyes.
With a burst of flame, everything around them gradually calmed down.
"Finally reached the Divine Transformation Realm." Xu Ze said, flexing his fingers, looking relaxed.
Despite having the experience of nine lifetimes, Xu Ze wasn't cultivating a single technique. The combination of two techniques within him required immense effort.
After three days of cultivation, Xu Ze felt mentally exhausted and wanted to have a good sleep.
"Oh? Qinghan, have you reached the Divine Separation Realm?" Xu Ze smiled at the dazed girl beside him.
Qu Qinghan snapped back to reality and nodded vigorously.
"That's good. Let's rest here today. I suspect those Nalan Commerce Association people have already explored the secret realm."
Xu Ze yawned and laid down on the jade bed.
"Qinghan, if you don't mind, you can lie down and take a nap too." He said cheekily, patting the empty spot beside him.
Qu Qinghan's face turned red instantly. She imagined a romantic scenario, her heart pounding with excitement, fear, and even a hint of anticipation.
She carefully laid down, turning her head to see Xu Ze's gentle gaze.
At this moment, Qu Qinghan recalled the sweet moments of her past nine lifetimes with Xu Ze. His sweet words, his gentleness...
"Qu Qinghan, you can't repeat the same mistake. You know what kind of scoun*drel he is. If you give in just because you remember the past love, how can you be worthy of being the Holy Land's Holy Maiden?"
Determined, Qu Qinghan closed her eyes, filled with expectation.
"...!"
However, Qu Qinghan didn't experience what she imagined. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Xu Ze had already fallen asleep.
"???"
Qu Qinghan felt numb.
Seriously, did he really fall asleep?
In the past nine lifetimes, wasn't he the proactive one?
"Humph, s.coundrel..." Qu Qinghan muttered, her face looking complicated. She wanted to turn away, but before she could, Xu Ze pulled her into his arms, holding her like a pillow.
Qu Qinghan's heart skipped a beat. She looked up to see Xu Ze's eyes still closed, as if he had merely mistaken her for a pillow.
"Are you... are you asleep?" Qu Qinghan's face was flushed.
After all, being held so intimately by a man she secretly adored... she was going crazy!
Qu Qinghan's mind was in turmoil, her heart beating rapidly.
[Qu Qinghan's Blackening Value -10]
[Qu Qinghan's Blackening Value -1]
[Qu Qinghan's Blackening Value -1]
Even with his eyes closed, Xu Ze could still sense the tension in the warm jade in his arms.
Breathing in the sweet fragrance at the tip of his nose, Xu Ze enjoyed the comfortable feeling but didn't take it further because he knew it wasn't the right time to deepen their relationship.
Though Xu Ze loved Qu Qinghan the most among the ten heroines—her beauty, her unexpected tenderness emerging from her cold demeanor—she couldn't accept being betrayed after giving herself to him.
If Xu Ze established a relationship with her and then pursued other heroines, her blackening value would definitely max out, causing more trouble.
Besides, Xu Ze was indeed exhausted now.
Using Qu Qinghan as a pillow for a comfortable sleep was all he could manage at this moment.
Soon, Xu Ze fell asleep, and the girl's tension in his arms gradually eased.
