Cultivation Starts from Farming

"Xu Lang..."

Her eyes were like spring water, gazing passionately at Xu Ping, with a world of words embedded in that single call.

Xu Ping looked down at her enchanting form and laughed heartily, wrapping his arm around her as they walked toward the prepared abode, where Spiritual Qi was most abundant.

"The night is short, and the grand path awaits; Shuang'Er, it has been too long since we last met, it's time we... discussed the Dao together."

Duan Shuang's face flushed a charming red, yet she did not resist, merely resting her head gently on his shoulder.

Their figures entwined as they disappeared into the luxurious and serene depths of the abode.

The stone door slowly closed, sealing off the outside from within.

Everything followed naturally, seamlessly becoming another intimate communion, exploring the grand Dao together.

...

Time flew by, like a fleeting steed crossing a gap; thirty years of seasons passed.

In these thirty years, Xu Ping and Duan Shuang quietly cultivated together in the Star Palace dojo, honing their skills.

Xu Ping's progress remained astonishing.

His Mana became increasingly pure and refined, and his understanding of the Cultivation Technique deepened.

Duan Shuang's progress was even more apparent, advancing by leaps and bounds.

With the dedicated guidance and resource support from Xu Ping, her Divinity Transformation partner, along with her own extraordinary talent and rebuilt foundations, her cultivation journey was smooth.

Over the thirty years, her cultivation soared, nearing the threshold of Nascent Soul Perfection.

Even more astounding was the advancement in her Divine Sense, under Xu Ping's inadvertent guidance and nurtured by her own Taiyin origin, reaching remarkable heights, not far from the Divinity Transformation threshold.

One day.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi experienced a disturbance, as if summoned, surging toward Duan Shuang's secluded chamber, forming a small vortex of Spiritual Qi.

Outside the chamber, Xu Ping stood with hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm as he silently protected Duan Shuang.

He could clearly sense the stable and powerful pulse within the chamber, rising and falling rhythmically like the tides.

Inside the chamber, Duan Shuang sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, her eyes closed, her hands forming a spell.

The Cultivation Technique was rapidly circulating within her, like an efficient and precise furnace, refining and absorbing the massive influx of pristine Spiritual Qi from outside, integrating it into her Nascent Soul and meridians.

Her expression was calm and unruffled, showing no signs of the usual difficulty and pain of a breakthrough, only the slight sheen of sweat on her forehead indicating she was at a critical moment.

Thanks to her profound accumulation and the solid foundation Xu Ping had helped her build, this breakthrough was unexpectedly smooth.

It was unclear how much time passed.

The surging Qi fluctuations in the chamber abruptly stalled, then stabilized in a more harmonious and grand stance.

A powerful aura belonging to a Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivator rippled out like water waves, although quickly restrained by Xu Ping's laid-down restriction, that momentary Spiritual Pressure had already announced the result.

Outside the abode, a faintly satisfied smile appeared on Xu Ping's lips.

"It's done!"

Duan Shuang not only firmly stepped into the realm of Nascent Soul Perfection, but to Xu Ping's delight, her Divine Sense also greatly benefited from this breakthrough, officially reaching the threshold of Divinity Transformation.

Compared to Xu Ping, Duan Shuang might be overshadowed.

But compared to the late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators of other major factions, with her current cultivation at Nascent Soul Perfection paired with the threshold of Divinity Transformation in Divine Sense, she stood as an outstanding figure, enough to outshine her peers.

...

A month later.

The stone door of the secluded chamber where Duan Shuang had been closed in slowly opened.

Although her breakthrough from late-stage Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul perfection was indeed a significant advancement, with a marked increase in Mana,

it essentially remained within the same major tier, without the earth-shattering transformation of a breakthrough to a greater realm, thus not requiring prolonged seclusion to stabilize.

A graceful silhouette, as light as a fluttering butterfly, leapt out from behind the stone door, it was none other than the successfully advanced Duan Shuang.

Her appearance remained remarkably beautiful, now with a joy that could hardly be restrained in her brow and eyes due to her cultivation, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower, bright beyond measure.

With a glance, she spotted Xu Ping not far away, smiling at her, and immediately, like a swallow returning to the forest, she brought a waft of fragrance as she rushed into Xu Ping's warm and firm embrace.

"Xu Lang, I did it!"

She lifted her charming face, her voice carrying a hint of pride.

Xu Ping naturally embraced her, looking down at her sparkling beautiful eyes, he tenderly praised:

"My Shuang'Er, with her extraordinary talent and strong foundation, reaching Nascent Soul Perfection was indeed a natural and inevitable event."

"Your Divine Sense has now touched Divinity Transformation; your future path is limitless."

His words were not merely to cheer her up.

Duan Shuang's achievements are indeed commendable.

Praised by him, Duan Shuang felt a sweet sense in her heart, filled with tenderness like water.

She rubbed her cheek against his chest, then slightly parted her red lips, her breath fragrant, her voice laced with playful allure:

"With my cultivation improved and Divine Sense greatly enhanced, I feel filled with Mana... Xu Lang, shall we have a little contest?"

Xu Ping burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, good! How could your husband be afraid? Let's have a good contest then!"

Before his words finished, he had already lifted Duan Shuang in his arms, and amidst her tinkling laughter, flashed into the most spacious and comfortable main cave dwelling.

The heavy stone door slowly closed.

...

Several hours later.

Inside the cave dwelling.

Duan Shuang lay like a lazy cat in Xu Ping's arms, her beautiful eyes half-closed.

Holding Duan Shuang's delicate body, Xu Ping felt a sense of peace and contentment.

The two cuddled closely for a moment, relishing the tranquility.

After a while, Xu Ping gently patted Duan Shuang's fragrant shoulder, his tone slightly more formal as he spoke:

"Shuang'Er, now you've reached Nascent Soul Perfection, your cultivation and Divine Sense have hit a critical point."

"It's time to start preparing for your breakthrough to Divinity Transformation."

Upon hearing the words "breakthrough to Divinity Transformation," Duan Shuang's lazy demeanor instantly shifted, her beautiful eyes gaining some serious and solemn focus.

She softly uttered an "Mm," nestled against Xu Ping, listening attentively.

Matters concerning one's fundamental path must not be taken lightly.

Xu Ping continued: "Breaking through to Divinity Transformation has three main hurdles. First, is Mana accumulation and Nascent Soul transformation; second, is triggering and overcoming the Divinity Transformation Tribulation; and third, the most perilous—Heart Demon Tribulation."

"For the first two hurdles, I will do my best to clear the way for you."

"But the final hurdle, the Heart Demon Tribulation, is the ultimate test of one's own Dao heart, beyond external help. Ultimately, Shuang'Er, you must face and overcome it yourself."

Duan Shuang nodded, her expression serious: "Xu Lang, I understand the stakes."

Confident in her Dao heart, she spoke, "My Divine Sense has reached the Divinity Transformation threshold, and after experiencing the worldly trials, my Dao heart is also quite clear."

"As for the final Heart Demon Tribulation, I remain somewhat prepared."

Xu Ping nodded slightly, knowing Duan Shuang's resilience.

"I certainly trust Shuang'Er's Dao heart."

But Xu Ping shifted the conversation's focus, "However, mere confidence is not enough. The Heart Demon Tribulation is unpredictable and requires thorough preparation."

His eyes gleamed with insight: "I will use the Demon Curse Incantation to simulate the various illusions and impacts of the Heart Demon Tribulation to temper you."

"The process might be... uncomfortable, but its purpose is to maximize your resistance and experience dealing with the Heart Demons, pushing the success rate to the highest."

He paused, looked at Duan Shuang with a slightly teasing smile: "When the time comes, Shuang'Er mustn't complain."

Duan Shuang heard this and smiled beautifully.

Instead of fear, she gently placed her slender jade hand on Xu Ping's cheek, her beautiful eyes shining with determination and trust.

"Xu Lang, rest assured, my Dao heart has never wavered, nor do I fear any hardships." Her voice was soft but assertive.

With that, she held Xu Ping's hand, gently and firmly placing it on her soft chest, feeling the steady heartbeat beneath.

She blinked, her beautiful eyes seemingly able to speak, her red lips softly parted:

"Xu Lang... can you feel my Dao heart?"

The incredible curvature transmitted through his palm stirred Xu Ping's previously stagnant emotions.

He let out a low laugh and turned over.

"Since Shuang'Er's Dao heart is so firm, then your husband... shall help you strengthen it further!"
