The Six Desires Heavenly Ethics Sect

Chapter 70

After storing the Dao Flower, Jiang Lixin spent some time contemplating in his cave before stepping out.

The Flower of Desire represented one of the most fundamental desires of living beings—reproduction. It was the embodiment of the joy derived from this desire.

For the Flower of Desire to grow, it needed the emotion of joy as nourishment.

The stronger the soul, the more potent the joy it could produce, which would in turn nourish the Flower of Desire.

"With my status, it should be possible to make my master the female stamen of the Dao Flower."

His master, the sect leader of the Zhengxuan Sect, Qin Lianxue, happened to be a woman, making her a suitable candidate for the female stamen.

As the hope of the Zhengxuan Sect's glory, Qin Lianxue held Jiang Lixin in high regard. Even though she was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Lixin believed he had a good chance of success.

The Flower of Desire, as the embodiment of reproduction itself, represented a complete Dao. Even without consciousness, it symbolized the final stage of Dao comprehension—Achieving the Dao.

Without reaching the Achieving Dao stage or possessing protection of the same level, one could not resist the erosion of the Flower of Desire.

And his master, as far as he knew, had only just reached the fourth realm of Dao comprehension, the same as his current level.

With his plan in mind, Jiang Lixin carried the Dao Flower and headed to his master's cave.

Outside Qin Lianxue's cave, there were layers of restrictions and formations. Fortunately, Jiang Lixin had a pass token, allowing him to enter unimpeded.

Inside the cave, Qin Lianxue was already seated, as if she had been waiting for Jiang Lixin's arrival.

Jiang Lixin wasn't surprised. Although Qin Lianxue was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, she was nearly two thousand years old, with little lifespan left. She had no clues on how to break through to the Deity Transformation stage.

Usually, she spent her time in the cave focused on comprehending the Dao, hoping that a breakthrough in her Dao comprehension would loosen the bottleneck in her cultivation.

"Lixin, what brings you here today? Didn't Junior Brother Mingyao give you the newly acquired treasure to study? Is there a problem?"

Qin Lianxue asked with concern. She might have no hope of breaking through, but Jiang Lixin had the potential to reach the Deity Transformation stage. Matters concerning Jiang Lixin were of great importance to the Zhengxuan Sect.

"Master, I came precisely for this matter. Please take a look!"

Jiang Lixin spread his hands, activating his own Dao. The aura of the Dao of Joy emanated, though it carried a sharp edge.

This was Jiang Lixin disguising it as the Dao of the Sword.

His Dao of the Sword had already been devoured and replaced by the Dao of Joy.

Qin Lianxue sensed it and was somewhat uncertain: "Is this... the fourth realm, the Transformation Dao?"

She had only just reached the Transformation Dao stage herself, so she wasn't entirely sure, but it did seem more profound than Jiang Lixin's previous Dao.

"Exactly. With the help of the Dao Flower, I gained deeper insights into my Dao of the Sword, allowing me to break through."

"Congratulations."

Qin Lianxue forced a smile. While she genuinely cared for Jiang Lixin, the feeling of being surpassed by a Core Formation disciple wasn't pleasant.

"Master, I've discovered that this treasure is also effective for the Transformation Dao stage. As long as you immerse your mind in it, it can trigger insights into your own Dao, leading to deeper comprehension. That's why I came to you immediately after my breakthrough."

Jiang Lixin took out the Dao Flower, and the intimate aura began to spread.

Qin Lianxue's expression changed slightly as she smelled the aura but quickly regained her composure, sensing the Dao rhythm within.

When He Mingyao first brought back the Dao Flower, the Nascent Soul elders had studied it. Its shape was peculiar, but it did contain Dao rhythm.

It was indeed helpful for low-level cultivators in comprehending the Dao.

However, its effectiveness diminished significantly once one reached the third realm of Dao comprehension.

Thus, they had planned to use it as a reward for low-level disciples in the sect.

But now, it seemed...

"Lixin, are you sure about this?"

"Master, absolutely! Just immerse your mind in the Dao rhythm of the flower. The Dao of Yin and Yang contained within can supplement your own shortcomings."

To convince Qin Lianxue, Jiang Lixin began to exaggerate. As long as she followed his instructions, she would inevitably be corrupted and become the female stamen.

Hearing her disciple's words, Qin Lianxue's heart stirred.

She didn't believe her disciple would deceive her. Perhaps this was the true purpose of the Dao Flower.

Indeed, geniuses often had insights beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even though their cultivation levels were higher, they hadn't discovered this use of the Dao Flower.

"Lixin, you've done well. I'll give it a try."

"Then I congratulate Master in advance on your breakthrough!"

Jiang Lixin presented the Dao Flower with a genuine smile and then excused himself.

Inside the cave, only Qin Lianxue and the Dao Flower remained.

"The stamen... seems to be missing one? Could it be... that this treasure has a limited number of uses?"

She finally noticed that only the female-shaped stamen remained.

"That makes sense. Something that can benefit the fourth realm of Dao comprehension couldn't be used indefinitely. Perhaps it can only be used twice."

Qin Lianxue felt a warmth in her heart. Jiang Lixin was thoughtful. He must have known it could only be used twice but still didn't hesitate to let her use it.

Poor Junior Brother Mingyao. He was the one who brought it back, but in the end, it benefited their master and disciple.

However, even among fellow sect members, Qin Lianxue wouldn't give up such an opportunity. Perhaps this breakthrough in Dao comprehension would be her chance to reach the Deity Transformation stage.

Following Jiang Lixin's instructions, Qin Lianxue sat cross-legged, immersing her mind in the Dao rhythm of the flower.

Outside the cave, Jiang Lixin waited patiently. Qin Lianxue would inevitably use the Dao Flower and become the female stamen—it was her destiny.

Soon, Jiang Lixin felt a summoning.

The time had come.

With a knowing smile, Jiang Lixin entered the cave. The Dao Flower's petals had wrapped around Qin Lianxue, forming a giant cocoon.

Jiang Lixin stepped into the cocoon, opening his arms as the petals enveloped him as well.

When the petals loosened and the cocoon disappeared, Jiang Lixin and Qin Lianxue reappeared.

"You dare scheme against your own master, Jiang Lixin!"

Qin Lianxue's tone carried a hint of reproach as she lightly patted Jiang Lixin's shoulder.

"Master... you misunderstand me. This is a tremendous opportunity. Becoming a vassal of the revered deity is far better than being one of the lost masses."

"I'm not blaming you. I'm thanking you. The flower needs nourishment to grow. This is the best gift we can offer to the revered deity."

Qin Lianxue's tone shifted. She wasn't truly Qin Lianxue anymore—she was the female stamen, inheriting the memories and cultivation of her former self.

"The Zhengxuan Sect is the perfect resource, isn't it?"

Jiang Lixin's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Qin Lianxue.

"Indeed, but we mustn't drain the pond to catch all the fish. Let's first deal with my dear junior brothers and sisters, then have the entire Zhengxuan Sect continuously nourish the flower's growth day and night."

"Then let's call ourselves..."

"Let's call it... the **Six Desires Heavenly Ethics Sect**!"

"Hahaha, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

Inside the cave, the two laughed wildly, their voices mingling with the sounds of Yin and Yang...
