Chapter 687: Dual Cultivation and Dao Fusion

A broken tile hung high above Li Hui and Yang Jiuzhen’s heads; this tile was the Heart Talisman.

The Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic, paired with the yin talisman text, encompassed the achievements of the path of talismans in this era, allowing the Dao Fruit to ripen and transform into a tile. However, this tile was incomplete and needed further understanding of the mysteries of the path of talismans to perfect it.

After a moment of reflection, Yang Jiuzhen exclaimed, “Is this the essence of taking a tile to cover the sky? The realm of the path of talismans is remarkably high; I didn’t expect my husband to have gone so far in this domain.”

Li Hui nodded, stating, “My foundation lies in the path of talismans. Cultivating the Six Paths of Reincarnation merely aids in absorbing demonic energy, dark energy, and the aura of death, making it suitable to combat external enemies in this environment. So today, I will do my utmost to elevate you, but afterward, it will be your turn to help me climb higher, as my energy is limited, and many talismans still need contemplation.”

“Jiuzhen understands!” Yang Jiuzhen smiled slightly, and Li Hui released his legal form.

What followed was quite amusing; the six female legal forms attempted to flee, but Li Hui’s legal form would not allow it. He rushed forward, embracing them, and brought the six legal forms together forcibly, then raised his arm and shouted, “Calamity come!”

“Boom, boom, boom…” Terrifying lightning surged downward, striking the six legal forms again and again with immense power, overwhelming Yang Jiuzhen to the brink of fainting.

The Tribulation of the Heavens was originally aimed at Yang Jiuzhen, and Li Hui merely guided it to ensure the impact was more balanced.

At this moment, all six paths were injured, yet they continued without collapse.

“Bring it on!”

With Li Hui in control, the Tribulation of the Heavens not only failed to harm Yang Jiuzhen but instead became a supreme aid, allowing the six legal forms to gradually converge.

"Completion, completion, completion…"

“Boom, boom…”

As sounds echoed, the Heart Talisman’s broken tile erupted with layers of radiant runes, blazing brilliantly. No, the tile was not burning; instead, the runes were rising vigorously, constantly stacking upwards while depleting their energy, creating an illusion of combustion as Purple Light shone down upon the two.

With Li Hui’s help, Yang Jiuzhen’s six legal forms completed their convergence, transforming into a tall legal form that looked both elegant and serene, nodding towards her husband’s legal form.

“Yin and Yang harmonize, and the cycle never ends!” The two legal forms held hands, standing amidst the purple light, and wispy clouds rose from the ground, sketching out profound and mysterious symbols that quickly transformed into talismans, suspending in the air—an awe-inspiring sight from afar.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with talismans.

The Tribulation of the Heavens had not yet concluded and still sought to obliterate Yang Jiuzhen; however, no matter what tribulations it unleashed, including the rare Inner Demon Trial, Illusion Demon Trial, or Formless Demon Trial, as long as they fell into the myriad talismans, they would vanish without a trace like a mud cow entering the ocean.

Behind Li Hui, six beams of light emerged, pulling Yang Jiuzhen into the treasure cabinet of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Together, they propelled the rotation of Yin and Yang, utilizing the Heart Talisman’s power to begin to swallow the heavens and devour the earth.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom…” The Wutu Continent was filled with tumult; spiritual energy, demonic energy, dragon energy, righteous energy, clear qi, and dark energy surged forth in response to the call, and twelve beams of light burst outward, instantly encompassing thousands of miles, then expanding to one hundred thousand miles.

A massive whirlpool of spiritual pressure formed around the two, and passing practitioners outside the mountains let out strange cries, being pressed down into the ground in terror.

After half a stick of incense, the range of absorption reached one million miles and continued to expand without pause—two million, three million, four million, five million…

Li Hui surveyed the surroundings and stated, “The ancestral heritage of the Wutu Continent is already scarcer than that of other continents. It has only been a year since the cataclysm began, and it has drawn away so much; since that’s the case, let me put an end to it!”

Yang Jiuzhen looked at Li Hui in surprise as he took a delicate silver snake bracelet from his right wrist, a piece that hadn’t been there before—how strange!

Li Hui cradled the silver snake bracelet in his palm, filled with emotion as he said, “This is an extraordinary talisman artifact, originating from a remarkable source! Now, it can convert the talisman power through the devouring of spirit treasures, and it is quite convenient for us to devour the energy of heaven and earth today through our Yin-Yang Dao Fusion, allowing us to take all spirit treasures from the caves of Wutu.”

“Excellent!”

Yang Jiuzhen felt immense absorbing power emanating from the bracelet, which instantly infused into the Yin-Yang Dao Fusion between her and her husband, activating all the talismans in the air around them, linking them into circles that formed a grand array.

Many high-level demon cultivators turned their eyes toward this place, but they could not see the silver snake bracelet; they could only observe a man and woman practicing dual cultivation and Dao Fusion together.

Dual cultivation was quite common, but for both parties to achieve Yin-Yang Dao Fusion was exceptionally rare. This required harmonious steps and a high level of attainment in their cultivation paths to successfully harmonize and achieve significant accomplishments.

Li Hui and Yang Jiuzhen sat together for three days and nights. During this period, sweet dew formed in the air, dripping into the baby’s mouth. The two exchanged subtle smiles, feeling immensely satisfied, as their path to enlightenment progressed remarkably fast.

After three days and nights, the energy of heaven and earth on the Wutu Continent had diminished by forty percent, and the rate of decrease not only failed to slow but instead accelerated.

However, these were merely the visible changes; many undisclosed alterations were taking place, as the spirit treasures and magical artifacts within the ancestral caves transformed into scraps, disappearing from existence altogether.

Dozens of high-level practitioners soared through the sky, attempting to stop Li Hui and Yang Jiuzhen when a massive sound echoed, rising from the mountain.

“It’s the Murky Qi; Wan Nest Island has generated a Murky Mountain! Who would have thought that only a few days later, another Murky Mountain would arise here?” The hidden high-level practitioners looked up to see the peak soaring high into the sky.

In an instant, the range of absorption for Li Hui and Yang Jiuzhen expanded to almost cover the entire territory of Daxia and the Giant Armored Tribe, along with half of the Barbarian Nation.

As the Taishan Mountain continued to grow taller, twelve magnificent beams swept across the heavens, extending the range of absorption to the surrounding nations, steadily advancing towards the coastlines filled with demonic creatures.

Once the Taishan Mountain reached an altitude of fifty thousand zhang, the entire Wutu Continent fell within the absorbing range, then began to rise higher into the ocean, rendering all demonic creatures weak.

Li Hui’s voice spread without regard for distance: “From today, we will suppress demonic creatures and ghostly beings for ten days. The Wutu practitioners must unite to overcome this calamity.”

After the news spread, the righteous practitioners showed little interest, while those from the demonic sects celebrated, as killing demonic creatures to collect demon blood and bones would enhance their strength—an unexpected opportunity fell into their laps.

More and more high-level practitioners gathered at the foot of Taishan, as the Wutu Continent turned into a barren wasteland of energy. Whether from righteous or demonic paths or ghost cultivators, none could absorb even a trace of the energy of heaven and earth, leaving them as though they were fish out of water, gasping for air and feeling suffocated.

The gathering high-level practitioners dared not approach Taishan carelessly, as the Murky Qi gushed outward; a misstep could cost them their cultivation. Moreover, the mountain peak made tremendous noises that echoed into the Azure Sky layer. Profound Law Stage practitioners sighed with awe, for even flying to the mountain top was challenging; once at the top, contending with the fierce winds and calamity fire would require more effort than they could muster to hinder the absorption of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the twelve beams of light sweeping through heaven and earth suddenly merged, with six beams catching up to the other six, causing the lights to grow thicker, including even the Grand Xuan Dynasty overseas.
