Chapter 1621

"This is actually a dual-cultivation secret technique?"

Xu Jingming finally understood.

No wonder the Starfall Dominator had divided the inheritance into male and female parts.

If one person tried alone, they could never cultivate it!

"The Yang Star and Yin Star complement each other—so that's how it works."

Xu Jingming silently marveled.

He had heard of similar secret texts before.

But this was his first time seeing one in person.

And just then.

Lin Qianxue beside him had also finished reading the Dual Star Treasured Scripture.

This disciple of the Frost Crown Dominator, known always for her icy aloofness.

Now, her fair, delicate face bore an unusual flush of unmistakable embarrassment.

Her pale golden eyes shimmered with shifting light.

Her gaze flickered uncertainly—seeming both stunned and flustered.

Her previously cold and exquisite cheeks flushed with an unnatural hue.

Her slender body beneath the battle robe tensed slightly; even her breathing grew erratic.

"Younger brother... this..." Lin Qianxue lowered her head slightly.

Her voice was much softer than usual.

She never imagined that "yin-yang union."

Actually referred to the most intimate bond between man and woman.

Seeing this, Xu Jingming merely smiled lightly:

"With the cultivation resources in the World Ring and the Dual Star Treasured Scripture itself, we've already gained immensely.

As for this Chaotic Pearl... we can do without it."

Peak-grade Heavy Artifact!

Did he want it?

Of course he wanted it!

That was the ultimate treasure forged by the Starfall Dominator over endless ages.

Its power could stir even Dominator-level beings.

But Lin Qianxue was not his partner.

Even if he craved it desperately, he could never force her to betray her own heart for the sake of this artifact.

"You're giving it up?"

Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes slowly widened, her flawless face filled with shock.

She instinctively emphasized:

"This is a Peak-grade Heavy Artifact!

An item exceedingly rare across the entire universe!"

"It's fine."

Xu Jingming's expression was calm, his tone brimming with quiet confidence:

"Even if we don't get it this time, we'll find one eventually—I have that faith."

He had the Deep Blue System.

As long as he kept growing stronger, what treasure in the future could he not obtain?

Though a Peak-grade Heavy Artifact was precious, it wasn't worth violating his principles.

Why make his senior sister suffer for it?

Yet upon hearing this, Lin Qianxue fell silent.

The grand hall grew still.

Only the faint glow of the celestial stars above streamed down upon the two of them.

Her pale golden eyes fixed on Xu Jingming.

A profound, indescribable emotion welled up within her.

This was a Peak-grade Heavy Artifact!

And he was giving it up so easily?

She recalled every moment of the past half-year within the secret realm.

Xu Jingming had exhausted precious Moon Spring to heal her wounds.

For five straight months, he carried her on his back, using the energy of his Life Core to warm her damaged Life Core.

Without Xu Jingming, she would surely have shattered her Life Core and halted her cultivation forever.

And this inheritance? It was entirely thanks to him.

Without his monstrous speed in deciphering the seals,

She could never have entered the Starfall Divine Palace.

Let alone obtained the Dual Star Treasured Scripture and the cultivation resources.

Such immense kindness—she had no way to repay it.

And now, all she needed to do was set aside her pride, offer herself once.

And she could help her younger brother claim this Peak-grade Heavy Artifact, the very thing that would drive countless powerhouses mad.

Moreover...

Lin Qianxue's gaze unconsciously lingered on Xu Jingming.

The man before her stood tall and imposing.

He stood nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, perfect proportions.

After exiting the Purple Nightmare Demon Body, his face bore sharp, defined lines.

Sword-like brows, starlit eyes, a high, straight nose.

Especially those deep, pitch-black eyes.

As if containing endless Lei Ting and starry skies.

Possessing the sharpness of youth, yet also a composure beyond his years.

In terms of appearance, Xu Jingming was undeniably handsome.

And in terms of talent...

A universe-top expert at under thirty!

His life gene multiplier reached the perfect 1024-fold!

Sweeping through alien races, his combat power rivaled Eternal Stage Five!

Such a prodigy, across the entire universe,

Except for those special lives born already at the Eternal Stage,

Could hardly find another being with greater talent.

Looking at it this way, it seemed not she was offering herself, but Xu Jingming was?

With his conditions, countless heavenly beauties would willingly throw themselves at him.

Like Yin Hongyu...

"Senior sister, what are you looking at?"

Xu Jingming felt uneasy under Lin Qianxue's burning gaze.

Why did he detect a familiar expression in his senior sister's eyes?

It was, as if, the very same look Yin Hongyu gave him!

Yes—that look, faintly tinged with heat and longing!

"N-nothing."

Lin Qianxue's Bai Xi, delicate face flushed even redder at being caught.

Like a ripe peach, succulent and intoxicating.

After a moment's thought, she seemed to make up her mind.

She took a deep breath and spoke softly:

"Little brother, this Chaos Pearl is a top-tier treasure—we cannot let it go."

Let's just take it. Don't leave something free behind."

"How do we take it? To obtain it, the two of us must..."

Xu Jingming hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly he realized, his eyes widening slightly:

"Senior sister, you mean...?"

"Tsk tsk, Jingming Beast is getting hungry."

Inside his consciousness sea, the succubus little girl Vera rolled her eyes.

Though she didn't know the exact contents of the Twin Stars Divine Scripture,

from their conversation, she already understood the condition for obtaining the Chaos Pearl.

"This is a top-tier treasure! Why didn't I ever get such an opportunity before?"

Vera was envious to the point of grinding her teeth.

The beauty is yours, the equipment is yours too.

Why does everything good always fall to you?

I want it too!

"Mm."

In reality, the ever-cold and frostlike Lin Qianxue nodded faintly, her voice barely a whisper.

Her exquisitely beautiful face nearly buried itself in her chest.

Her ears burned crimson, as if ready to drip blood.

For a girl to propose such a request herself was far too embarrassing.

Hearing this, Xu Jingming's eyes lit up instantly.

In appearance, Lin Qianxue was stunningly beautiful, her icy aura carrying a deadly allure.

In physique, those long, straight, perfectly shaped jade legs alone were enough to steal souls.

Not to mention the breathtaking curves and full contours beneath her battle robe.

To say he had no thoughts about this peerless senior sister was impossible.

But he had never imagined their relationship would suddenly advance to this point.

Yet he was no prudish Liu Xiaohui.

He wouldn't pretend to be proper at a moment like this.

Since both parties desired it, let nature take its course.

He nodded at once:

"Good. Since Senior Sister is willing, let's give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianxue's heart trembled slightly.

There was shyness, yet also a strange sense of relief and anticipation.

"Let us first attempt to condense the Yang Star and the Yin Star."

Xu Jingming quickly calmed his mind and refocused on the task at hand.

For him, cultivating the Dual Stars Codex required only consuming Source Points to allocate them.

But for Lin Qianxue, it demanded genuine time and effort to comprehend and condense them.

Fortunately, according to the secret manual's records.

The Starfall Divine Palace had special amplification for cultivating the Dual Stars Codex.

It could greatly accelerate the speed of condensing either the Yang Star or the Yin Star.

It should not take long to succeed.

"Alright."

Lin Qianxue nodded, her voice soft.

The two immediately fell silent, each sitting cross-legged.

Closing their eyes and calming their spirits, they began to contemplate the Dual Stars Codex.
