Chapter 1643: Shuangmian

5 million points acquired.

In high spirits, Xu Jingming told Yueying to wait for him at the small pavilion on Island One.

He himself went with Lin Qianxue to Tianfeng Mountain to pay respects to Master Shuangmian.

Because he had sent word ahead through the Virtual Universe.

When the two arrived at the palace perched atop Tianfeng Mountain's peak.

Shuangmian Dominator and Ye Li were already waiting there.

One was cold and noble, the other tall and chillingly beautiful.

Both were breathtakingly beautiful.

"Teacher, Sister Ye Li."

Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue stepped into the hall and bowed respectfully together.

Shuangmian Dominator's gaze landed first on Lin Qianxue.

A look of satisfaction appeared on her face; she nodded slightly:

"Qianxue, well done.

You lingered at the peak of the universe for a thousand years, accumulating strength, and now you've finally entered Eternal Life.

Your divine body has solidified, your primordial essence has begun to manifest, your foundation is firm."

"Thank you, Teacher, for your praise.

I could break through successfully only because of my junior brother's help."

Lin Qianxue replied softly.

Though her words were calm, when she mentioned her junior brother,

the slight softening of her tone and the natural display of dependence stirred a faint flicker in Ye Li's eyes.

Shuangmian Dominator then turned her gaze toward Xu Jingming.

When her perception clearly settled upon Xu Jingming,

even her supreme dominator's composure showed rare ripples.

"Peak of the universe."

She murmured softly, her tone filled with unhidden admiration:

"Your breakthrough speed is absurdly excessive.

You've just returned from the Outer Realm battlefield, yet you've already touched the threshold of Eternal Life.

What exactly have you been doing these past two years?"

"It's like this: when I first arrived at the Outer Realm battlefield, it was Sister..."

After a brief pause,

Xu Jingming gave a brief account of his experiences over the past two years.

When she heard how Xu Jingming swept through the Starfall Secret Realm, defeating alien races and cultivating the Source Core Scripture to its fourth level,

time itself seemed to freeze for a moment within the hall.

Ye Li's usually calm black eyes widened abruptly.

For the first time, her typically icy face betrayed near-disgraceful shock.

Shuangmian Dominator leaned forward slightly from her Wang Zuo.

Her silver-blue pupils shimmered with rare excitement:

"Fourth level? You've reached the Perfect Life Gene tier?!"

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

"Hah! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!"

A stunning smile bloomed across Shuangmian Dominator's exquisite face.

Her clear, melodious voice echoed through the hall:

"Your senior brother broke through to Eternal Life at 1020 times Life Gene multiplier.

Your sister Ye Li reached 1023 times, just one step shy of perfection.

I thought that was the human limit.

Yet you've achieved perfect 1024 times!"

She gazed at Xu Jingming as if he were a rare masterpiece.

This was no longer merely talent—it was a defiance of heaven's design.

More astonishing still, how long has it been since Xu Jingming first encountered the Source Core Scripture?

To reach perfect gene levels in such a short time—

This is an achievement that defies heaven!

Even the creator of the Source Core Scripture may not have reached this level.

After her astonishment subsided, Shuangmian Dominator regained some composure.

Yet the admiration in her eyes deepened further:

"With perfect genes, you will forge a Perfect Divine Body.

Your foundation will far surpass peers of your level; your future potential is incalculable!

Since you won five million points from Ke'erte, your teacher won't be stingy.

I reward you with five million points.

Use them to acquire the resources needed for your breakthrough—push through without hesitation!"

As she spoke, her gaze turned to Lin Qianxue:

"Qian Xue is the same."

"As a newly ascended Immortal, this is the time to stabilize your realm and exchange secret techniques."

"These five million points are my gift to you."

Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue exchanged a glance.

Both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and immediately bowed together, saying:

"Thank you, Master!"

The hall's atmosphere became joyous.

At that moment, Ye Li, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke with curiosity:

"Sister Qianxue, Little Brother."

"The two of you... what is your relationship now?"

As a woman, she was naturally sensitive to subtle details.

The soft glow in Lin Qianxue's eyes when she mentioned Xu Jingming.

The slight tilt of her body toward him as she stood, the faint resonance between their qi.

These could not be explained by ordinary elder-younger sibling affection.

Hearing this, Lin Qianxue's pale ears instantly flushed light red, yet she did not evade:

"Sister, I am already with Little Brother."

Ye Li's expression clearly froze.

Her younger sister had always been cold and composed.

For over twenty thousand years, she had devoted herself to cultivation, never showing favor to any man.

Yet after only two years of traveling together on the Outer Realm battlefield, she had already taken a lover.

But...

Ye Li's gaze swept over Xu Jingming's sharply defined, strikingly handsome face.

Recalling the monstrous talent and power he had just displayed, her heart eased.

To be by the side of such an outstanding person, sharing every day and every life and death.

It was only natural for her sister to fall for him.

"Congratulations."

Ye Li's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint but sincere smile, "You two suit each other."

The Frost Crown Sovereign upon the Wang Zuo also wore a knowing smile.

His gaze swept over the two, then nodded slightly:

"You two are both my direct disciples."

"Your character and talent are both top-tier; to come together like this is fate."

"On your future cultivation paths, support each other—you will go further."

"Yes."

Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue nodded simultaneously.

After chatting for a while longer, Master Frost Crown gave them instructions on the precautions for breaking through to Immortality.

Only then did Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue take their leave.

In the elegant little house at the center of Island One, Everday Archipelago.

Yue Ying had already prepared light tea and sat waiting.

The tea leaves were brought from Blue Star last time.

She had tried them a few times and grown fond of them.

Seeing them return, she rose to greet them.

Her gray eyes curved into gentle crescents:

"Jingming, Sister Qianxue, was everything smooth with Master?"

"Everything went well."

Xu Jingming took the teacup she offered with a smile, but his gaze unconsciously settled on Yue Ying.

She wore a simple, elegant long dress, her figure slender and graceful.

Especially the long, straight legs beneath the hem.

Their lines were perfect, glowing softly in the indoor light.

Xu Jingming suddenly had a thought, his eyes flicking to Lin Qianxue beside him.

This sister still wore her battle armor.

Those heavenly long legs, wrapped tightly in the form-fitting armor, appeared even longer.

He suddenly felt curious.

Between Yue Ying and Lin Qianxue, whose legs were longer?

"Ying'er, Sister."

Xu Jingming set down his teacup and looked at the two women:

"Stand up, stand side by side, let me see."

Yue Ying and Lin Qianxue both looked puzzled.

But they obeyed, rising and walking to stand side by side before Xu Jingming.

As they stood, they became a breathtaking scene.

Yue Ying's figure was tall, her legs slender and proportionate.

Her skin was fair and smooth, radiating the softness and elasticity of a young girl.

Lin Qianxue, by contrast, exuded a more mature charm.

She was already half a head taller than Yue Ying, and her long legs had an astonishing proportion.

The curve from her waist to her ankles was breathtaking—tight and supple.

The two pairs of beautiful legs were vastly different in style.

Yet both were masterpieces of nature, evenly matched and a delight to behold.

But if judged purely by absolute length,

Lin Qianxue's legendary long legs were indeed superior.

"Tsk tsk."

Xu Jingming watched with satisfaction and smiled as he commented:

"Both are legendary legs, each with its own merits.

But if we're just comparing length, my senior sister's are truly unmatched."

Lin Qianxue's cheeks flushed slightly under his gaze.

Hearing him make such a comparison, she couldn't help but lightly spit:

"Little rogue, why are you comparing this?"

Xu Jingming laughed heartily.

He rose and walked between the two women, one arm around each of their slender, supple waists.

Leaning close to Lin Qianxue's ear, he whispered:

"Senior sister, I'm about to break through to the Eternal Life Realm.

Why don't you stay here with me during this time?

It'd be easier for you to guide me through the breakthrough."

"Heh, do you really think you want my guidance?

I'm too lazy to call you out on it!"

Lin Qianxue rolled her eyes, beautifully.

But she didn't refuse.

As for Yue Ying beside her,

After being conditioned by the women from Blue Star, she was already used to it.

She was even somewhat eager.

This was an Eternal Life deity!

And Xu Jingming's senior sister!

I wonder if she'll roll her eyes like I do…
