Thunder Temple (3)

The two of these Senior Disciples stood outside the room they had both been drawn to. There was a plague above the door. The writing was a bit hard to read. Not because of the penmanship or era the language was from. No, it was rather due to each line having been a thunderbolt in design and the dots were clouds.

"Brother Xiang, this room feels like it could be a very beneficial thing for the both of us." Senior Sister Xun said, after reading what the writing said in her head.

"Sister Xun is right. I only wish we could take this back. We are not yet married, so this Xiang won't coerce Sister Xun." Senior Xiang said, also knowing what this room had planned for couples.

"Come on brother Xiang! Let's explore the Dao together. Don't be shy!" Senior Sister Xun said.

Sister Xun's face was bright and cheerful. She also had a devious smile come across her face as she spoke. Then grabbed Brother Xiang with one hand and pushed open the door. Pulling him inside. Senior Brother Xiang did not resist this advance in the slightest. Instead after this he pulled himself closer to Sister Xun and shut the door behind them.

"Then, let us begin our private journey to reach into the Saint Realm together." Senior Brother Xiang said, before the two of them began their secluded practice together.

What did this plague describe this room as? It was simple! This was the Heavenly Heart room. Inside here lovers grow ever closer to each other through a myriad of ways. A mutual bond of trust and love. Or in short it is a rather intricate Dual Cultivation method.

How did I know they were standing in front of the room? Even to the point of knowing which one they went into? This was due to the powerful and mighty ring I now have in my possession. It is what gives me the power to monitor this entire place like the back of my hand. Though I don't know what everyone does inside the rooms due to the privacy restrictions that get activated once the door is closed. But I knew enough to know my Senior Brother Xiang and Senior Sister Xun, when done cultivating would be much closer than before.

I wanted to spend more time on cultivating as well but having the weapons I now had. Well… It was better to refine these great weapons and use them in sequence with my cultivation method. The gains I got from simply studying theory and a few practice moves made me advance by leaps and bounds. Now that I actually had proper weapons to use for such things. Well, it's not like I didn't already but those two weapons are best left for absolute emergency freak scenarios.

The strength of them is simply too much for it not to paint a target on my back. Seriously I might as well just shout "come and steal my precious things. I'm rich! Super rich!" In short it really isn't a good idea to use them for them. This is why I needed to focus on my cultivation before. At this rate I'll have both of these mighty and absolute weapons under my control in only 3 months time. I wonder how much of their strength I'll be able to mobilize for myself.

~~3 Months Later~~

These weapons have truly surprised me. After becoming their true master I can actually mobilize 10% of their full strength in a last ditch effort. Worthy of being borderline Dao Source realm level Artifacts. If these had Source Qi in them instead the strength they would display would also likely breach into borderline Emperor level. Perhaps I can load it with source Qi at some point down the line. Well, I don't need to worry about that for now. I should begin cultivating and practicing my weapon Daos.

~~3 Months Later~~

I have been cultivating in earnest for so long and now I have broken through to the 8th Layer True Foundation Realm. With this extra breakthrough I have nothing to worry about with the remaining Taboo Brother. "You know, now that I think about it… I wonder… Yes I think I'm going to try doing that if I ever see that bastard again. That'll ground him good… hehehe." I snickered. I should continue to cultivate in the meantime. Because no matter what, being in a higher cultivation realm will have an infinitely easier fight.

~~2 and a half months Later~~

I feel as though I need some kind of supplement to advance any further than this. Perhaps I should try supplementing my Qi again with the Saint crystals? That might have a great effect on my cultivation. Eh… who am I kidding! Of course it will have an effect!

I took out a few low grade saint crystals in preparation for inevitable drain on their power. As the crystals passed through the discs of thunder Qi the energy broke down the Saint Qi like before. However, as I absorbed this energy I felt a massive change in my soul and Knowledge Sea. I didn't know what it was in the slightest, the effects were very well hidden. Shrouded in mystery. However, I could tell it was not a small change.

I was now a 9th Layer True Foundation Realm. I only needed to continue like this and I would eventually reach the Immortal Ascension Realm. Then I'll be able to find that place my father was talking about before. I guess My father locked the information behind the Immortal Ascension Realm breakthrough. Only time will tell.

~~2 Weeks later~~

I continued Absorbing Qi. Even using up dozens of Saint Crystals. However, it was taking a bit too long to make any noticeable difference. The moment I stopped my cultivation my body hurt like hell. I felt I was on fire. No! Now it was cold. What is going on? Ahh!

After a short time later the pain had faded almost as fast as it had arrived. I felt… different… I looked at myself in the one mirror in the room. My eyes widened.
