Chapter 307: Breakthrough!

"Whoosh!"

A pillar of light appeared, and the entrance opened.

Luo Zijun tried a few times and finally succeeded; while excited, he also asked in confusion, "It was so simple, but why did the Fairy say I couldn't do it before?"

The Moon Palace Fairy did not answer.

Luo Zijun did not press the matter further.

Clearly, it was not that he couldn't do it, but that she was unwilling to teach him.

The two soon arrived at the Diyuan.

The Moon Palace Fairy found the location and taught him the method to open the exit.

Luo Zijun tried it for the first time and succeeded immediately.

"It's actually this simple!"

The joy in his heart was written all over his face.

After mastering the methods to open the entrance and exit, even if he were alone in the future, he could come down to cultivate at any time.

However...

He was suddenly a bit puzzled, looked at the snow-white figure beside him, and thought to himself: Why was the Fairy suddenly willing to teach me the method?

After a moment of thought, he seemed to understand.

The relationship between the two was no longer what it once was; they had saved each other's lives, had already merged into one many times, and were close and mutually trusting, making no distinction between them, so she was naturally willing to teach him.

Thinking of this, the words that had been circling in his mind for the past few days finally could not be held back: "Fairy, when can our true bodies meet?"

Since they were already in this kind of relationship, he certainly could not let her down.

The Moon Palace Fairy stopped on the stone bridge.

Under the bridge, the river water was as black as ink, cold and deathly silent; even when a cold wind blew, there were no ripples or waves, as if it were a pool of frozen ink.

"Why do you want to meet?"

The Moon Palace Fairy looked at the pitch-black water under the bridge and asked indifferently.

Luo Zijun stopped behind her, looked at her with a complex gaze, and said, "Although you and I met through our divine souls and our divine souls have merged, our consciousness and feelings are no different from those of our physical bodies. The Fairy has shown me affection and righteousness, giving without reservation, and even sacrificed... so I feel we should meet in our true bodies."

"And then?"

The Moon Palace Fairy withdrew her gaze from the water, turned her head, and looked at him: "And then what after our true bodies meet? Are you planning to take me as a concubine, or are you planning to keep me as your bed-warming maid? Or, like those lovers of yours, keep me secretly hidden away?"

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Fairy, I..."

"You have nothing to say, right? Of course, there's no need to say anything; I will not meet with you."

The Moon Palace Fairy ignored him and continued walking forward.

Luo Zijun followed behind with his head lowered, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fairy, actually, Bai Daxiaojie and I..."

"I know you don't like her."

The Moon Palace Fairy's tone was flat, her gaze fixed on the darkness ahead: "But so what? You have quite a few women around you, and there is even your sister-in-law. You secretly shared a bed with your sister-in-law tonight and were almost discovered by her; that was quite thrilling, wasn't it?"

Luo Zijun: "..."

"I know, books say that men all like thrills. You must be very proud of yourself, having led those sisters around in circles, right?"

The two walked one after the other into the pitch-black tunnel.

The cold wind wailed, blowing the Moon Palace Fairy's snow-white skirt and sleeves, as well as that long, jet-black hair that reached her waist.

She walked silently in the darkness, her expression unreadable.

But her tone was overflowing with a hint of sarcasm.

Luo Zijun defended himself: "I am not very proud, and I did not intentionally deceive those sisters. I was going to break through my cultivation realm today, which is why I asked my sister-in-law to come to the room to help me guard the dharma."

"Oh?"

The Moon Palace Fairy's tone remained sarcastic: "If you had a clear conscience, why would you be acting like a thief, hiding and skulking, terrified of your wife seeing you?"

"The situation was urgent at the time, I didn't think much..."

"Yes, the situation was indeed urgent; a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law, in the dead of night, a lone man and a lone woman, dry wood and raging fire, alone in a room, clothes in disarray, in the middle of a passionate, intimate moment, and then the annoying wife suddenly arrives—could the situation be anything but urgent?"

"..."

"I imagine at that moment, you wished you could punch that annoying wife of yours and send her flying, right?"

After exiting the tunnel, the Moon Palace Fairy turned her head to look at him, her tone full of mockery and a hint of something indescribable.

Luo Zijun said: "I really didn't, my sister-in-law and I are truly innocent..."

"Yes, innocent—she gives you the 'clear' (Qing), you give her the 'white' (Bai), and then you mix them together, and that makes it 'innocent' (Qingbai)."

The Moon Palace Fairy mocked.

Luo Zijun was stunned, left speechless.

"Hmph!"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned and walked toward the cave; in the fluorescent light, a face of flawless beauty was unconsciously stained with two blushes.

Luo Zijun followed into the cave and couldn't help but look at her a few times with a strange gaze.

"What are you looking at? Let's begin!"

The Moon Palace Fairy glared at him and sat down directly in the corner.

Luo Zijun dared not let his mind wander anymore; he immediately steadied his heart, took a few deep breaths, and then walked over.

"Swish!"

A light screen lit up at the cave entrance.

The entire cave immediately became dim and murky.

This was the final energy transfer.

The energy of the Fire Lotus Seed had only a final bit remaining, which was also the most volatile and powerful part; tonight, it would help him break through. "Fairy, forgive me..."

"Hmph!"

Before long, the transmission began.

The volatile energy of the Fire Lotus Seed, like a clear stream, was flowing steadily into Luo Zijun's body.

It started slow then turned fast, and finally, it became as fierce as a torrent.

"Whoosh—"

Water splashed everywhere, and the energy surged like a tide, rolling and erupting!

The Soul Power in Luo Zijun's Soul Sea was immediately impacted and awakened, and it also began to emit a volatile, surging roar.

The breakthrough began!

Carrying the powerful energy of the Fire Lotus Seed, the Soul Power began to charge fiercely toward the barrier of the Fen Shen Realm.

"Boom!"

With the first impact, the cracks in the barrier increased once more.

Then, the second time, the third time...

The fluorescent light on his body began to flicker incessantly, and it grew brighter and brighter.

The Moon Palace Fairy, lying on the ground nearby, stared at him blankly. After a long while, she slowly rose, sat for a moment, then stood up and walked to the cave entrance, her gaze fixed on the darkness outside.

It is unknown how much time passed before the energy in the surrounding heaven and earth began to surge rapidly toward the cave.

Luo Zijun's soul began to shatter, then merge, then shatter again, and merge once more, repeating this process continuously.

At first, the pain reached his marrow, but gradually, the pain began to subside.

At the same time, every time his soul merged and healed, he could clearly feel an unfamiliar and powerful force added to his body, and the healed soul became increasingly solid and strong.

"Boom—"

A loud explosion, deafening!

Then, waves of powerful energy instantly occupied the entire cave, and the light screen set up at the entrance began to tremble violently, as if it were about to be unable to withstand it.

The Moon Palace Fairy, who had been lost in thought, turned her head and looked into the cave.

Luo Zijun's entire soul had been torn apart, as if it had been blown into fragments, but those fragments were overflowing with colorful light and began to quickly piece together and merge.

First the head, then the neck, chest, stomach, lower body...

The interfaces healed rapidly, leaving not a trace behind.

When his entire body had been completely pieced together and healed, a powerful aura permeated from his body!

Luo Zijun slowly opened his eyes, the divine light in his pupils shining as bright as stars.

"Open!"

He gave a low shout, and his body suddenly split into two!

Even more bizarrely, those two halves of his body began to grow and heal rapidly, turning into two identical versions of him.

"Merge!"

The two figures immediately merged together, turning back into one person.

Luo Zijun looked down at his own glowing, powerful body, and in an instant, a myriad of emotions welled up.

He had succeeded; he had finally succeeded.

Fen Shen Realm!

Even if the result of the White Snake mission at this time caused him to lose that wisp of soul that had left before, it would not cause him fatal damage.

He would not become an idiot, and he would not forget everything.

Every wisp of his soul would inherit all his memories; even if shattered and split, losing a wisp of soul could be recovered quickly after recuperation.

Therefore, the current him was no longer afraid of whether the White Snake mission succeeded or not.

He had regained his freedom!

As if a thousand-pound burden had fallen from his body, as if the heavy stone in his heart had shattered into dust, at this moment, he felt a lightness and ease he had never known before.

"Fairy, I succeeded!"

He said excitedly.

The Moon Palace Fairy stood at the cave entrance, watching him quietly. After a moment of silence, she said, "Congratulations."

Luo Zijun walked straight over and took her hand, saying gratefully, "This is all the Fairy's credit. If it weren't for the Fairy, how would I have had the chance to break through to the Fen Shen Realm?"

The Moon Palace Fairy looked down at their joined hands, paused, and said in a flat tone, "Let's go, it's time to return."

She pulled her hand away and turned to leave.

Luo Zijun suddenly grabbed her hand again and said, "Fairy, is there something we haven't done yet?"

The Moon Palace Fairy stopped and turned her head to look at him.

Luo Zijun met her gaze without fear, gripping her delicate little hand tightly, and said, "The energy of the Fire Lotus Seed in my body hasn't been used up yet..."

The cave suddenly went quiet.

The two stood like this, looking at each other. After a long silence, the Moon Palace Fairy coldly pulled her hand away and said, "If you dare to be this presumptuous again, I... ah..."

Before she could finish, Luo Zijun suddenly stretched out his arms, grabbed her from behind, spun his body, lifted her up for a turn, then placed her in the cave, held her slender, soft waist tightly, bit her soft earlobe gently, and whispered into her ear, "Fairy, I insist on being presumptuous... looking at you, I cannot help but be presumptuous..."

The Moon Palace Fairy's body suddenly trembled, and she pushed him away with force.

Luo Zijun, however, picked her up horizontally in his arms, walked into the innermost corner of the cave, and said, "Take out that Snake Skin and spread it on the ground."

"No... mm..."

Luo Zijun bit her lips, kissed her for a long time, and said again, "Take it out."

"No... ah..."

Before long, that silver-white Snake Skin was spread out on the ground.

And the white-clad fairy, who had just been aloof and stubborn, now had her jet-black hair draped loosely, her skirt blooming, as she lay there quietly...

"Fairy, I have come to detoxify you..."
