Si Taizhen’s tall frame was curled up under the covers, revealing only her head and snow-white shoulders. Her waterfall of black hair spilled onto the floor, and her body radiated an astonishing heat.

She had never imagined that dual cultivation could be so exhilarating. Her entire being felt as if she were walking on clouds, so light she felt she could float away.

The mingling of their Magical Power brought her an ecstasy unlike any on earth, an experience she couldn’t get enough of.

As Yin and Yang merged, her Magical Power was completely refined. It even felt as if she was about to break through the limits of the Nine Revolutions Celestial Snake Scripture. Even after her Magical Power reached Perfection, she could feel it continuing to condense further.

Si Taizhen took a long, appreciative sniff of the blanket covering her. Because the Innate Pure Yang Qi she had absorbed into her Magical Power had yet to be fully refined, her body temperature was now as high as a searingly hot iron pillar. An ordinary blanket would have been incinerated by such heat.

This one had been condensed for her by Yang Jing from his Magical Power.

Yang Jing sat cross-legged to one side. As his Cultivation was only at the Fourth Layer Golden Core, he had gained even more from the dual cultivation. His Golden Core was perfectly round and flawless, and the True Register upon its surface seemed to have come alive.

His Magical Power, which had been stagnant at the Fourth Layer Golden Core, now felt ready to break through to the fifth layer at any moment.

Previously, after refining a large amount of Innate Pure Yang Qi, the Five Elements Wheel inside Yang Jing’s body had been on the verge of purging all its yin properties and becoming completely Pure Yang. Back then, he could only maintain the Yin Qi in his Five Elements Wheel by breathing it in and refining the Moon Demon King.

However, this Yin Qi was like water without a source; it was fundamentally incapable of facilitating the Yin Yang conversion with his Innate Pure Yang Qi.

Now that he had refined Innate Pure Yin Qi through dual cultivation, the Yin Qi in his Five Elements Wheel finally had a foundation. It would no longer be completely expelled from his body by the Innate Pure Yang Qi.

Withdrawing his Magical Power, Yang Jing slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Si Taizhen lying beside him, concealing the flash of awe in his eyes.

Unlike the concealed nature of Chaos Qi, the Innate Pure Yin Qi within Si Taizhen’s Divine Soul had erupted and was now manifesting outwardly.

The quality of Innate Pure Yin Qi was simply too sublime. Since her foundation was considerably weaker than Yang Jing’s, she was facing an even more severe problem than he had. The Magical Power from her Nine Revolutions Celestial Snake Scripture was being constantly eroded by the Innate Pure Yin Qi.

If a solution wasn’t found, her only option would be to wait until all her Magical Power was eroded away, then start over by cultivating a pure-yin Technique.

"Get yourself ready," Yang Jing said to Si Taizhen. "You’re going to meet your senior brothers and sisters."

"Your identity will be extremely sensitive for a while, so remember not to go out or show your face in public."

After learning about Innate Chaotic Qi, he finally understood why those six Nascent Soul Old Demons had dared to make a move on the Moon Demon King. No Nascent Soul cultivator would ever pass up a Celestial and Earthly Treasure that could help them break through to the Divinity Transformation realm.

’It’s also possible the information they have could be leaked to the Outer Celestial Demons. Once too many people know a secret, it’s no longer a secret.’

After leaving the Inner World, Yang Jing found his disciples already waiting outside the Quiet Chamber.

After leaving the Western Continent, they had spent most of their time in the Inner World. However, hearing about their master’s exploits from their senior brothers, Iron Head and Yinjiao, had matured them considerably.

"From now on, this will be your sixth junior sister."

Yang Jing stepped aside, allowing Si Taizhen to face his five disciples.

As the Crown Prince of the Jade Poison Kingdom, Si Taizhen was not one to be intimidated. She gracefully bowed to Iron Head and the other four.

"I am Taizhen. It is a pleasure to meet you, my senior brothers and sisters."

Her previously relaxed mood turned serious. The auras of Yang Jing’s five disciples were all extraordinary. Though their Cultivation was low, their foundations were incomparably solid.

In the past, because she possessed the Soaring Snake Bloodline, ordinary Demons would tremble uncontrollably in her presence. This forced Si Taizhen to constantly restrain her Soaring Serpent aura.

Since she had just finished dual cultivating, her emotions were still in turmoil, and she had forgotten to restrain her aura. Yet, these five disciples showed no trace of fear, a clear sign that their own bloodlines were also extraordinary.

The youngest of the five disciples, Yellow Foot, immediately jumped for joy. He finally had a junior sister!

"Greetings, Junior Sister."

Iron Head held down the boisterous Yellow Foot and took the lead in greeting Si Taizhen.

He was somewhat puzzled by Si Taizhen’s transformation but kept his confusion to himself, not letting it show.

"Si Taizhen’s identity is somewhat sensitive, so she will primarily be staying in the Inner World. Her Cultivation is even higher than mine, so if you have any questions about your practice, you can ask her for guidance."

The Jade Poison Kingdom had a legacy stretching back tens of thousands of years, even longer than that of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect. As its Crown Prince, Si Taizhen had naturally inherited the essence of its teachings. She was more than qualified to guide her five senior brothers and sisters.

Yang Jing sent Si Taizhen, Chi Yu, and two other disciples into the Inner World, keeping Iron Head and Yinjiao with him.

"Have you discovered anything these past few days?" he asked his two disciples.

For the past few days, the two of them had been using disguises to go out and collect records and gather intelligence, and they had made significant progress.

"Master," Yinjiao said, "most of the travelogues for sale on the island are over a century old, and they were all written by Independent Cultivators with only Qi Cultivation or Foundation Establishment Cultivation. What they record is mostly the local customs and traditions within the Thousand Islands Alliance. There’s very little about the mainland, so their value is limited."

"I’ve heard that detailed records about the Central Continent can only be found within the Thousand Islands Alliance itself. However, their library isn’t open to the public. Only members of the Alliance are qualified to exchange Merit Points for access."

Yang Jing nodded. That was only natural; the situation was the same on the Western Continent. Most Independent Cultivators only knew what was happening within a thousand-li radius of themselves. They were completely ignorant of anything beyond that.

"Are you thinking of infiltrating the Thousand Islands Alliance?"

As a loose coalition, the Thousand Islands Alliance had far less stringent rules for its members than the Noble Families and Sects. Joining it was indeed the best way to gather information.

Yang Jing considered it for a moment, then agreed.

Although his experiences at sea had been tumultuous, only a few months had actually passed. There were still seventeen years until it was time to enter the Upper Realm fragment and vie for the Nine Marvelous Creation Qi.

’If I can secure a high position in the Thousand Islands Alliance, I might even be able to borrow one of their Flying Boats to travel to the Nine Marvels Sect,’ Yang Jing calculated internally.

’The Central Continent has an ancient heritage and abundant resources, so its Flying Boat transportation network is far more developed than the Western Continent’s. Riding one of the Thousand Islands Alliance’s Flying Boats would save me a great deal of trouble.’

’Besides, the Thousand Islands Alliance is located overseas. If I run into any trouble, I can use my Water Escape to hide in the sea. Not even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would be able to do anything to me then.’

’It would be even better if I could secure an island for myself within the Alliance. The Spiritual Mechanism in my Inner World is abundant, but now that it has to supply two Golden Core Cultivators, things are getting a little tight.’

’With sufficient Spiritual Mechanism, coupled with dual cultivation and the Demon Summoning Technique, I’m fully confident I can cultivate to the Perfect Golden Core realm within these eighteen years without any negative repercussions.’

"Go ahead and do it with confidence. Your master will have your back."

Dawn Island only had three Golden Core Cultivators. Yang Jing was feeling very confident.
