Ji Ning Shuang's face was rosy, and her ears were burning.
This imperial-level technique was an incredible opportunity. Missing it would be a great pity.
But cultivating together...
Ye Qingyun remained calm, just waiting quietly.
"I never realized you cared so much about the Flowing Cloud Sect..." Ji Ning Shuang stared directly at Ye Qingyun, somewhat mockingly.
Ye Qingyun replied seriously, "Master, you're misunderstanding me. Although I may seem lazy at times, my initial dedication to the Flowing Cloud Sect has never wavered!"
"I am a true gentleman, yet Master thinks of me as a vile person. Well, with Master's talent, even without this technique, you could still break through to the Great Emperor realm."
"Farewell, Master."
Ye Qingyun took the technique and turned away, heading towards the cave entrance.
Although Ye Qingyun seemed resolute, his heart was in turmoil. If the Empress didn't stop him, the system's rewarded technique would be of no use.
Watching Ye Qingyun's righteous figure, Ji Ning Shuang frowned slightly, feeling moved inside.
Could it be that she had misunderstood him?
If she missed this opportunity, Ji Ning Shuang would need hundreds of years, if not more, to break through to the Great Emperor realm.
"Wait." Finally, the Empress spoke up.
Ye Qingyun's eyes lit up, inwardly delighted, but he calmly replied, "Master, upon reflection, I realize this technique may offend you. So let's put this matter to rest."
"It's fine. If you don't tell anyone, neither will I..." Ji Ning Shuang blushed, her voice weak.
She, who had always been aloof, showed this daughterly side for the first time.
In his heart, Ye Qingyun smiled smugly. So what if she was the Empress? Wasn't she still tightly controlled by this Peak Master?
"Well then, since the Empress insists, Qingyun can only accompany you at all costs."
"As a Peak Master, how can I watch the Flowing Cloud Sect decline?"
Ye Qingyun turned around, speaking with conviction.
Ji Ning Shuang found herself unable to fully understand Ye Qingyun for a moment.
"What should I do..." Ji Ning Shuang stared at Ye Qingyun with her beautiful eyes, a hint of panic, like a frightened kitten.
Ye Qingyun approached, and a subtle fragrance wafted over...
...
Ding!
"Has assisted Ji Ning Shuang in comprehending the technique."
The system's voice echoed, generating a pure Yin force within Ji Ning Shuang, attracting Ye Qingyun's pure Yang force, like two magnets...
For the next forty-nine days, both of them cultivated within the cave.
Occasionally, dragon roars echoed within their bodies, their physical forms filled with violent power, even generating patches of golden dragon scales?
Ye Qingyun's physical strength greatly increased!!
Although he was only at the level of Quasi-Emperor completion now, with his powerful physical strength, he could smash a Quasi-Emperor completion expert with a single punch!
Boom!
Roar!
In the end, Ye Qingyun gave birth to the Ancient Dragon Emperor physique!!
This Ancient Dragon Emperor physique ranked among the top among many divine bodies, known for its robust physical strength. When cultivated to completion, its physical strength could rival that of the Dragon Clan's great beings!!
[Host: Ye Qingyun]
[Realm: Quasi-Emperor completion]
[Cultivation: 570 years (capable of directly breaking through to Quasi-Emperor perfection)]
[Physique: Ancient Dragon Emperor physique (entry-level)]
[Treasure: Xuanyuan Sword (Supreme Emperor Artifact)]
...
After more than seventy days of cultivation, Ye Qingyun unexpectedly gained seventy years of cultivation?
This technique was truly heaven-defying!
Ye Qingyun enjoyed it immensely, his cultivation soaring.
Squawk!
A phoenix cry emanated from Ji Ning Shuang's body.
The temperature in the entire cave dropped again, filled with extreme cold power, disturbing the spatial order.
Then, a powerful ice phoenix phantom emerged from Ji Ning Shuang's body.
Ji Ning Shuang gave birth to the Ancient Ice Phoenix physique!!
After cultivating the "Yin-Yang Dragon Phoenix Art", Ji Ning Shuang, even at the level of Great Emperor completion, could contend with experts at Great Emperor perfection!
Moreover, Ji Ning Shuang's cultivation aura also increased significantly. With a few more cultivations, she could directly break through to Great Emperor perfection!!
"The Ancient Ice Phoenix physique?"
Ji Ning Shuang felt the changes within her, a hint of astonishment flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Not only did this technique greatly increase her cultivation, but it also allowed her to cultivate the Ancient Ice Phoenix physique!!
The process was a bit... intimate...
But Ji Ning Shuang found that cultivating together seemed quite good?
"Disciple, how... how did you know so much?"
Ji Ning Shuang glared at Ye Qingyun with reproach.
This guy must have planned it all beforehand, didn't he?
"For the sake of helping Master, I had to do my homework well." Ye Qingyun smirked, replying.
Ji Ning Shuang rolled her eyes at Ye Qingyun.
She felt like she had been completely taken advantage of by this guy...
"You go back first. This Empress needs some time to recuperate..." Ji Ning Shuang couldn't hold on any longer, seizing the opportunity to hide away.
Although Ye Qingyun was somewhat reluctant, he knew that slow and steady wins the race.
"Master, then Qingyun takes his leave."
"In a few days, Qingyun will come to practice with Master again."
After tidying up, Ye Qingyun left the cave.
Watching Ye Qingyun's departing figure, Ji Ning Shuang felt a touch of tenderness in her heart...
This man would be unforgettable to her.
Ji Ning Shuang rubbed her throat...
"Disciple, you're not gentle at all."
Ji Ning Shuang complained.
Ji Ning Shuang was also very surprised and puzzled. Where did Ye Qingyun get such a powerful technique from?
And she felt that Ye Qingyun was different from before.
Like a bottomless cliff, she couldn't see through him at all...
