Chapter 7: Sun and Moon Together!
Based on his talent replication abilities, every 15 minutes of physical contact with someone of the opposite sex allows him to replicate their talents.
Thus, the talents and supernatural abilities of Nangong Ling were completely replicated.
Although he couldn’t test the benefits of these abilities while in seclusion, seeing his daily experience cap increase brought him constant joy.
If he could encounter a hundred more women like her, he might achieve years of progress in just a single day of seclusion!
“System, isn’t the Heartless Sword Intent supposed to be damaged after engaging in intimacy?” Ning Chen couldn’t help but ask in his mind.
Earlier, during a brief break, he had glanced at Nangong Ling’s status panel and noticed that her Heartless Sword Intent was already in a shattered state.
Yet, the version he replicated turned out to be intact.
【It doesn’t matter. Deep affection can also be a form of detachment. As long as the host maintains a heart free of attachment and stays focused on the path of cultivation, the Heartless Sword Intent will remain unaffected.】
The system provided an explanation.
Ning Chen raised an eyebrow.
Goodness, this is practically the Sea King Sword Intent!
His gaze shifted back to the woman lying beside him.
So, Nangong Ling’s Heartless Sword Intent shattered because she developed feelings during their time together?
Ning Chen mused silently.
Apart from the Heartless Sword Intent, one other mystery lingered in his mind:
The Sun-Moon Divine Eyes.
On Nangong Ling, this supernatural ability was clearly sealed. Yet, within his own body, though inaccessible due to his seclusion state, it had already awakened.
When he relayed this question to the system, the explanation was as follows:
【The Supreme Yang Physique is perpetually regenerating and has the ability to activate certain talents, physiques, and supernatural powers.】
Ning Chen suddenly understood.
In other words, once the Sun-Moon Divine Eyes were replicated within his body, they awakened immediately!
He had initially thought that the Supreme Yang Physique merely provided accelerated cultivation and incredible vitality.
Clearly, he had underestimated himself.
Turns out, he was this incredible.
While Ning Chen indulged in his self-praise, the unconscious Nangong Ling suddenly began trembling.
Her beautiful brows furrowed tightly, as if she were enduring some form of excruciating pain.
Ning Chen was taken aback. Instinctively, he reached out to touch her forehead but immediately pulled back.
Her body had become a bizarre mix of fire and ice, with scorching heat and piercing cold rising simultaneously.
Without hesitation, Ning Chen kicked her off the bed while he could still handle it.
This bed was inscribed with the Azure Lotus Sky-Sealing Array by Liu Ruyan.
It could defend against nearly all external damage.
But internal damage was a different story, so it was better to be cautious.
Ning Chen perfectly embodied the principle of cutting ties cleanly.
Nangong Ling rolled on the ground twice but remained unconscious, letting out a faint groan.
“Something’s not right,” Ning Chen muttered.
Although she had fainted earlier due to the shattering of her Sword Intent, the subsequent side effects shouldn’t have been this severe.
Now, half of Nangong Ling’s body had turned bright red, with heat waves visually emanating from her.
In contrast, the other half was covered in frost, resembling an eternal winter.
The intertwining heat and cold produced sizzling sounds, reminiscent of boiling water.
Ning Chen hesitated and scanned her status panel again, finally spotting a critical detail.
[Supernatural Ability: Sun-Moon Divine Eyes (Grade: Gold, Innate Power, Awakening in Progress)].
The Heartless Sword Intent had been destroyed, causing her talent to disappear.
But that wasn’t the main issue. The most crucial point was the state of her Sun-Moon Divine Eyes!
“System, why is she awakening them now?” Ning Chen asked directly.
During their earlier interaction, he had noticed that Nangong Ling had an eye condition—her pupils were cloudy and unfocused.
She explained that the Sun-Moon Divine Eyes imposed extreme physical demands. For a regular physique, the strain was unbearable, leading to the destruction of her vision and a failed awakening.
In essence, it had become a useless power unless her body was rebuilt through divine medicine, giving her another chance at awakening.
【Host, the energy from your Primordial Yang serves as a diluted version of the Supreme Yang Physique. It can not only heal ailments but also trigger the activation of the Sun-Moon Divine Eyes.】
The system explained in full detail.
Ning Chen: “…Impressive.”
As time passed, the environment inside the cave became increasingly extreme.
Were it not for the multiple arrays Liu Ruyan had set up outside, the cave might have already been obliterated.
The furniture was a prime example—either reduced to ashes or encased in thick ice.
Fortunately, Ning Chen had acted quickly, using the Azure Lotus Sky-Sealing Array on the bed to avoid any harm.
At this moment, his attention was fixed on Nangong Ling’s tightly shut eyes.
Like the eye of a storm, they were at the center of the chaos.
The surging energies in the air were rapidly being absorbed by her eyes.
Whenever her body couldn’t withstand the process and sustained damage, a powerful wave of vitality would surge from her lower abdomen to heal her.
The Sun-Moon Divine Eyes were slowly awakening within her.
Meanwhile, above the Demon-Sealing Prison, the heavens had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Although it was just past midnight and the sky should have been dark, a blazing sun’s shadow appeared in the distance, while the suspended moon cast radiant silver beams.
The sun and moon hung side by side, like two colossal deities gazing down upon the world.
Truly, the sun and moon shone together!
