As they were cultivating, Spiritual Qi from the surroundings was rushing toward them, and into a large vortex of energy around them. Unlike previously, there was no separate vortices, but one vortex that was at the place they were connected at. There was a resonance between their Yin and Yang Qi that constantly flowed between them.
The reason Ye Ling could endure so much more this time was because they were dual cultivating while the act was going on. His Yang Qi was invigorating her Yin Qi, and her Yin Qi was invigorating his Yang Qi.
Any Yin Qi or Yang Qi that leaked and got separated from their bodies would evaporate in a matter of minutes, turning into streams of energy that would join the vortex and enter their bodies. His Yang Root would attract her Yin Qi, while her Yin Root would attract his Yang Qi in this process.
Thus despite their passionate act, there were actually no residual fluids besides their sweat left on the bed. Their sweat contained the impurities they pushed out, but even the impurities did not give off the foul smell or grimy feeling they usually would. However, they would still feel an urge to wash up later when they wake up.
Ye Ling felt a considerable rise in her cultivation while Wu Long made leaps of progress in the Spiritual Qi War Art, adjusting his body to the 9th layer of the technique in the process as well. His cultivation base was too low to adjust to higher levels as he would not have enough energy to rotate it.
There was a satisfied smile on her lips, as if a sweet dream was making her happy while he felt happiness and peace by having her in his embrace.
They slept in for some time, taking time off from their usual training. He was now completely recovered, so he could spar with her, but this morning they decided to just rest a bit more. There was an important banquet in the evening.
Once they washed up and clothed themselves, and because they separated from each other for that, they felt something that they missed before, they both felt a strong connection to each other as if a bond was now established between them, and a sudden enlightenment hit both of them at the same time, as they sat down to meditate on their new understandings.
'I see, so the second layer of the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Act was indeed only breachable after cultivating together! It seems there is now a permanent link between us'
Wu Long thought while an incredulous look appeared on his face.
Dual Cultivators actually had a unique trait, in that they were stronger while combining their forces than normal cultivators and generally weaker when fighting individually. So given equal realms, two regular dual cultivators would likely lose against two regular normal cultivators while fighting one-on-one but could overwhelm and win two-to-two or even two-to-three.
This was actually a part of dual cultivation that did not suit Wu Long since his fighting style was a single one against an army of enemies.
But this Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art seemed to establish a permanent link between them, making them receive the blessing of each other's Yin or Yang Qi passively at all times, very possibly regardless of distance. The second layer of the technique was establishing that permanent link, the 'Infinite Union' between the dual extremes of Yin and Yang.
Although it was now only in an embryonic state, that could potentially make Wu Long eventually almost twice as strong as he was in his peak when he reached the same realm. And that was not counting the body tempering he received from cultivating the Chaos Refining Body Tempering art and starting to cultivate the Golden Yang Dragon Body early on in his cultivation.
He would be a dragon soaring from the pond.
'Hmm, is the link only established with one person? Or is there a possibility that every partner I teach this technique will have a link?'
He thought, as he was a greedy man, and he always had a lot of women. Besides, he was not sure but there was a possibility he could not ignore, that may bring him another opportunity to have a second chance from his past, not only with Ye Ling.
As they consolidated their enlightenment, there was now a new bond between them. One that made them both stronger, and closer to each other.
