Chapter 221: Double Happiness for Twins

"By the way, teacher, how long until the Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens?"

After learning everything, Lu Xun began to worry about the most important matter.

The time when the Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens.

If it's far away, Lu Xun might be able to participate.

"This node is quite large, the origin place is more stable, so the time should be a bit longer, roughly eight months to a year after the Rainbow Bridge appears."

Fu Xue said.

Eight months to a year.

It's almost five months since the Rainbow Bridge appeared.

In other words, Lu Xun still has at least three months, at most seven months.

Three months... I don't know if that will allow Lu Xun to break through to the fifth level in the Immortal Dao.

Unless Lu Xun can bind with Fu Xue, then Fu Xue breaks through and gives Lu Xun a wave of return, otherwise the possibility of breaking through to the fifth level in the Martial Dao is not great.

The Immortal Dao still has a chance.

During these two-odd months that Fu Xue has been with Lu Xun, his cultivation has naturally not declined.

First, in the Martial Dao.

After Murong Wan opened the secret apertures of the five viscera and six bowels, in these two-odd months she in one go opened the skin membrane and marrow apertures, and is about to open the ancestral aperture.

After the skin membrane and marrow apertures were opened, Murong Wan awakened the divine ability Bronze Skin, Iron Bones.

This divine ability greatly increases skin defense, making it impervious to blades and spears, allowing one to hardily withstand ordinary flying swords.

Of course, only ordinary flying swords.

After being returned to Lu Xun, it became Golden Muscle Divine Bone.

Its full name is 【Profound Sky Golden Muscle · Primordial Bone】.

Profound Sky Golden Muscle is formidable.

Flying swords below the fourth rank of Heavenly Tier cannot even think of piercing Lu Xun's skin.

Hmm, the current limit is the fourth rank of Heavenly Tier.

The divine ability grows stronger as cultivation increases; its current strength is not too high.

The starting point is already extremely high.

Flying swords are not ordinarily sharp.

In terms of sharpness, the swords wielded by martial cultivators often cannot compare to flying swords.

Because martial cultivators who wield swords rely more on sword qi and sword intent.

Whereas immortal cultivators need even sharper flying swords.

Human skin is famously soft.

Compared to demons and barbarians, it's practically delicate skin and tender flesh.

But now, Lu Xun can use his delicate skin and tender flesh to withstand flying swords below the fourth rank of Heavenly Tier.

This is not just ordinary formidable.

In the future, as the martial cultivator's realm rises, this divine ability will become even more formidable.

In Immortal Cultivation, Chu Youqing surged up two more layers, and Bai Ling likewise rose two layers, bringing Lu Xun's Immortal Cultivation realm to the fourth level, twenty-first layer.

A fiftyfold return is indeed more powerful.

On Ran Bing's side, his formation expertise has seen another small breakthrough, but he has not yet broken through to the fifth rank.

Lu Xun has reached the peak of the sixth rank; he is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a seventh-rank formation master.

As for Aodaili, her magical cultivation has not broken through, but her magical profundity has progressed; moreover, she has newly learned a magic, all of which have been returned to Lu Xun.

From magus to great magus, it's still not easy to break through.

In short, during these two-odd months with Fu Xue, their progress has been considerable.

Lu Xun's gains are naturally the greatest.

The time they need to break through a minor realm is somewhat more than before.

The realm being higher, this is quite normal.

Fu Xue has stayed at the peak of the Six Realms for years, yet still has not broken through.

Even a genius, above the Six Realms, each layer breakthrough requires a great deal of time.

And for ordinary cultivators lacking resources, each rise from the second to third realm takes no less time than a genius's rise from the Six Realms up one layer.

Give them sufficient resources, and the time they need will be several times more than that of a genius.

If they get stuck again by a bottleneck or the like, they may stagnate for life.

"It's all up to Chu Youqing and Bai Ling."

Lu Xun placed his hope of breaking through to the fifth level in the Immortal Dao on Chu Youqing and Bai Ling.

As for Fu Xue's side, there is also hope.

Their favorability has reached 90%; the next Spirit Realm will surely push it to 100%.

The key is that Lu Xun needs to break through the Six Realms.

That depends on Aodaili.

Now, Lu Xun only hopes the Heavenly Dao Battlefield won't open too soon.

This time, the nebula where the ancient road node resides is not small in volume.

Opening the origin place requires more time.

Hope it opens again in about a year.

"Teacher, let's go to Spirit Realm No. 98."

"Good."

The next Spirit Realm, Lu Xun prepared to go to Spirit Realm No. 98, which is the ancient battlefield.

This Spirit Realm is very large.

It can let him stay longer with Fu Xue.

This conversation with Fu Xue let Lu Xun learn many high-level things about Lan Xing.

Lu Xun's strength has been gradually rising.

Give him a little more time, and Lu Xun can enter the ranks of Lan Xing's middle tier.

Six Realms.

In any case, that would count as middle tier of Lan Xing, right?

As for the high tier, that still needs more time.

Lu Xun is not in a hurry,

He is still young.

"Teacher, let's meet here early tomorrow morning."

"Hmm."

After returning to the South Heaven Gate, Lu Xun did not rush to the next Spirit Realm.

He wants to first handle the gains from this period, and also do some shopping before anything else.

Moreover, he hasn't seen Chu Youqing and Murong Wan for a while, and Lu Xun intends to meet them.

"Lu Xun, you've finally come back~"

Chu Youqing saw Lu Xun and happily flung herself onto him.

As their feelings grew deeper, Chu Youqing and Lu Xun's behavior when meeting became more intimate.

"Youqing, has your father woken up?"

Lu Xun asked.

"Not yet; he's still unconscious, and strangely, his body and soul show no problems at all."

Whenever her father is mentioned, Chu Youqing furrows her brows.

"Have you sought a Six Realms or higher physician or Immortal Cultivator for a check-up?"

"No, the Six Realms physicians are too busy to spare time; I wanted to ask my teacher for help, but she's also busy, and I feel bad troubling her."

Chu Youqing's instructor Qin Xinyue is also a Six Realms Immortal Cultivator.

Her father's problem is very likely a soul-level issue.

Martial cultivators cannot detect the problem.

This requires an Immortal Cultivator to examine with divine sense.

Physicians are usually Immortal Cultivators; a Five Realms physician can't find it, so only a Six Realms expert can handle it.

"Youqing, take this Soul-Returning Herb, brew it into a soup and have him drink it to try."

Lu Xun handed a Soul-Returning Herb to Chu Youqing.

"Okay, thanks, Lu Xun."

Chu Youqing was happy.

After settling that, Lu Xun first went to check on Bai Ling, then came to Murong Wan's cultivation chamber.

"Greetings, Teacher Fu Yue."

In Murong Wan's cultivation chamber, Lu Xun unexpectedly saw Fu Yue.

Why isn't she going to the Spirit Realm?

Or perhaps she just happened to return from the Spirit Realm.

Fu Yue saw Lu Xun, her eyes glimmered, a faint intoxicating smile slowly blossomed on her snow-white, jade-like face.

"Lu Xun, you've returned just in time; use your divine sense to impact Xiao Wan's will, helping her open the ancestral aperture."

She said.

"Okay."

"Miss Murong, are you ready?"

Lu Xun agreed.

In Fu Yue's presence, he still addressed Murong Wan as Miss Murong.

Their relationship remains underground.

"Murong Wan, I'm ready, come."

Murong Wan said.

"I'm here."

Lu Xun's divine sense launched an impact.

Murong Wan now has only the last aperture left, namely the ancestral aperture.

This aperture is crucial, after all, the brain is the body's supreme commander.

"Twins have telepathy; Fu Xue's favorability toward me has risen—will Fu Yue's favorability rise as well?"

After catching a glimpse of Fu Yue out of the corner of his eye, Lu Xun suddenly thought.

The notion that twins have telepathy has been passed down since ancient times.

In the past, there was actually little proof of it.

However, Fu Yue and Fu Xue definitely have it, after all they possess a joint technique.

Thinking this through, Lu Xun decided to check.

"Huh? 50%?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Xun found that Fu Yue's favorability toward him was indeed present.

Moreover, it wasn't low; it had reached 50%.

No wonder Lu Xun just felt that Fu Yue's speech was a bit gentler than before.

Before, even if Fu Yue had some appreciation for Lu Xun, it was impossible for her favorability to be this high.

After all, Lu Xun and Fu Yue had very little interaction.

If Fu Yue were just a little girl at Big Dipper University, Lu Xun might not even know her name, yet she could still have 100% favorability toward him.

After all, Lu Xun is the dream lover of many girls at Big Dipper University.

But this is Fu Yue.

With no interaction between them, how could she have such high favorability toward Lu Xun?

That could only be due to telepathy.

Otherwise, no other reason makes sense.

"Telepathy... speaking of which, twins really are double happiness."

Lu Xun couldn't help but think of an old-era meme.
