Chapter 1573: Xun Shuang Xianzi is my direction

"Cultivate together?" Xiao Feng was a bit puzzled.

What does she mean by this?

Xun Shuang explained: "I've noticed that every time I talk with you, I gain new inspiration. If you're not in a hurry to leave, we can share our cultivation insights—you teach me the Way of All Things, and I'll share my understanding of the Yin Yang Grand Dao and Void Grand Dao with you, mutually beneficial."

"Er..."

Xiao Feng froze.

This... isn't this supposed to be a fight?

How did we end up learning from each other?

"We weren't supposed to spar, were we..."

He said weakly.

Xun Shuang Xianzi said carefree: "Winning or losing isn't that important; pursuing higher realms is what matters. How about it, fellow cultivator—are you busy?"

Winning or losing really isn't that important.

Xiao Feng merely wanted to prove his talent surpassed hers, enough to defeat her, rather than truly harboring any improper thoughts.

Hearing her say that, he thought for a moment and replied: "Alright, let's first verify our cultivation together; once we've each made progress, we'll go all out in a battle!"

Coincidentally, he'd recently been troubled by the Wild Beast Clan's issues, his mind unable to settle.

Since Xun Shuang extended the invitation, he'd first stay a while on Yunchu Shan to improve himself properly.

Speaking of which, since the game began, Xiao Feng had always spent little time on cultivation and comprehension.

Apart from the two dream entries, the longest stretch was merely sitting in meditation for two or three months.

For an NPC who's lived thousands or tens of thousands of years, that's practically a snap of the fingers.

Xun Shuang cultivates the same heart method as him, and she's a God King–level expert; cultivating together with her will surely yield great gains.

After Xiao Feng agreed, Xun Shuang Xianzi let out a faint, elusive laugh and said: "Fellow cultivator, follow me."

She immediately changed direction, flying toward another place.

Xiao Feng followed her, flying inside Yunchu Shan for a while.

Several minutes later, they landed on a picturesque mountain peak.

The map showed that this mountain was named "Primitive Peak," after her cultivation method.

Primitive Peak isn't particularly large—about four to five kilometers across, seven or eight hundred meters high, with lush vegetation, cloud cranes circling, a river winding below, plus a clear lake several hundred meters wide, its surface covered in many hibiscus, and koi frolicking beneath.

"Nice place." Xiao Feng praised.

Xun Shuang said: "There's no shelter on this mountain; we camp under the open sky. If you want a house, you'll have to build it yourself."

Xiao Feng said speechlessly: "I'm here to cultivate, not to vacation."

Building a house makes it seem like we're settling long-term—unsuitable for a single man and woman!

"That's best; come with me—I have an Enlightenment Stone here; sitting on it makes the mind clearer."

Xun Shuang then brought him onward, arriving at a cliff on the mountainside.

Beside the cliff lay a large stone about three meters long, very smooth, half-suspended over the edge, as if a gust would send it tumbling.

Xun Shuang Xianzi landed on one end, gesturing to the other side for him to sit.

Xiao Feng sat as instructed; the two occupied opposite ends, the stone steady and unmoving, not falling.

"Is this the Enlightenment Stone? I feel it's more like a wind‑moved stone," Xiao Feng joked.

Xun Shuang explained: "Before I could fly, my senior sister had me sit on this to overcome fear and cultivate calmly. At first I was terrified, but over time the feeling changed—once I sat here, my mind became utterly tranquil."

Xiao Feng looked out; the cliff base was several hundred meters down, indeed very terrifying for ordinary people.

The surroundings were very quiet; if you didn't dwell on too much, sitting here would indeed calm the mind.

"Shall we begin?" Xun Shuang Xianzi asked.

"Hmm… oh, wait a moment."

Xiao Feng was about to agree when he suddenly remembered that Da Bai might still be in the mount space.

Earlier, while contemplating the Source Qi of All Things, he'd gone offline to run an experiment, then he himself hadn't realized the issue at all and had cultivated for many days.

Now, suddenly recalling it, he hurriedly released Da Bai.

"Ga! Big brother, you're trying to kill me! You locked me up……"

Da Bai had just come out when it let out a frantic shriek.

Xiao Feng gave a dry cough: "In front of Xun Shuang Xianzi, stay composed."

"Ga?"

Da Bai blinked.

Turning its head, it saw the figure seated on the stone, posture like smoke, unable to make out the appearance of the Number One Beauty of Kyushu, and it instantly fell silent.

After a moment it whispered softly: "I get it now—big brother just wants me to change my study spot. No problem, I'll work hard! Xun Shuang Xianzi is the direction of my struggle!"

Then it flapped its wings, flew a few hundred meters away, watched them from afar, and proceeded with its own cultivation.

Xiao Feng laughed and cried at once.

However, this unintentional offline episode seemed to have done a good deed as well.

Who knows what Da Bai, Zi Xi, and Xi Yun's gang of female demons would turn into after sticking together long‑term; better to stay on Yunchu Shan, following someone like Xun Shuang Xianzi—at least Da Bai won't become a licentious mess!

On the Enlightenment Stone, the two began to verify their cultivation path.

Xun Shuang Xianzi didn't want to take advantage of Xiao Feng, so she first voluntarily shared her insights on the Primitive Classic and her understanding of the Yin Yang Grand Dao and Void Grand Dao.

Enlightenment is an extremely lengthy process; even sharing study isn't something achieved overnight.

Xiao Feng listened quietly to her lecture, asking whenever he didn't understand.

He himself had a slight grasp of the Yin Yang Grand Dao, but hadn't yet reached the height of comprehending the law.

Studying with Xun Shuang Xianzi, who had accomplished the Yin Yang Dao, his understanding quickly began to leap forward.

In just over ten days, he comprehended the Yin-Yang Law, and the law comprehension interface gained an attribute.

The Yin-Yang Law is a primordial law, mightier than the Five Elements Law, yet comprehending it is also harder.

This path is a highly representative branch within the Heavenly Dao; Yin and Yang generate and overcome each other, capable of evolving the myriad heavens universe's endless phenomena.

Viewed broadly, it can even be seen as a simplified version of the Primordial Scripture.

Of course, Xun Shuang Xianzi's realm is only the Great Accomplishment of Enlightenment; she has not yet become the strongest of this law.

Otherwise, she would already be a Dao Ancestor.

Great Accomplishment is not the end.

Enlightenment has five realms: Initial Glimpse, Minor Accomplishment, Great Accomplishment, Merging Dao, Dao Ancestor.

The so-called Great Accomplishment means understanding the vast majority of knowledge in this field.

Merging Dao, meanwhile, is to fully comprehend and integrate everything, inject one's own insights, act as one wishes, and even be able to alter the laws.

The Dao Ancestor's realm, however, is to directly command this law—make it exist if desired, make it vanish if desired, temporarily disappearing. All beings within this law, the Dao Ancestor can overturn with a flip of the hand, or spawn even more.

Under Xun Shuang's guidance, Xiao Feng's insight into the Yin-Yang Grand Dao quickly entered the Initial Glimpse stage, and he continued advancing toward Minor Accomplishment.

After his law comprehension value increased, the Yin-Yang Dao's body-tempering effect also manifested, his attributes continued to grow, becoming ever stronger.

However, he, engrossed in Enlightenment, did not pay much attention to these.
