Chapter 2043: Chapter 676: Phoenix and Dragon’s Song, Farewell "Daoist Yangming, you’ve awoken." Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s eyes glimmered with a hint of hazy charm as they locked gazes with Lu Changsheng. Her voice was calm and indifferent, devoid of any awkwardness as she spoke: "Earlier, Daoist, you were gravely injured, your life hanging by a thread, and I too was severely wounded. In desperation, I had no choice but to engage in dual cultivation and healing through the ’Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Technique’." "???" Lu Changsheng had been racking his brains for words, trying to avoid an embarrassing situation, but he hadn’t expected Azure Phoenix True Monarch to remain so composed. If not for the fleeting glimpse of her exquisite face tinged with a blush, Lu Changsheng might have suspected he was dreaming, having an illusion. After all, the other party was at this moment seated astride him, perfectly aligned. "This... how could this happen? Isn’t this too disrespectful to a fellow Daoist...?" Lu Changsheng’s expression was one of surprise and delight, his breath slightly ragged as he spoke with a hint of urgency. "We cultivators need not concern ourselves with such matters like mundane mortals. Besides, the situation was urgent, as long as Daoist Yangming doesn’t mind." Even with their intimate proximity, perfectly aligned, Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s face remained calm and indifferent, her words gentle and natural as if she were discussing the most ordinary of matters. "...." Lu Changsheng was speechless, unsure of how to respond for a moment. Years ago, he had taught his son to remain unfazed even if the skies were falling, and to stay calm even if dragons and phoenixes were drawn near. At this moment, Lu Changsheng truly understood. Or rather, if you’re not embarrassed, it’s the others who are. Gazing at Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s gentle yet lofty face, along with the subtle aloofness in her eyes, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, his expression serious as he spoke: "Daoist Azure Phoenix, in my earlier years, I took an elixir that had the effect of rebirth, so when I was on the verge of death, I could stabilize the situation through its effects, achieving nirvana rebirth." "However, this nirvana power seems to have created some strange interaction with Daoist’s Primordial Yin Secret Technique." "If we are to fully engage in dual cultivation now, perhaps we could both undergo a baptism and transformation!" Seeing Azure Phoenix True Monarch was unwilling to discuss matters of the heart, Lu Changsheng spoke with a sincere, serious face. As he spoke, he slightly lifted himself, placing his hand on Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s full and alluring white thigh, testing to see if she would object. "Nirvana rebirth..." No need for Lu Changsheng to elaborate, Azure Phoenix True Monarch could feel the interwoven nirvana power causing an inexplicable stirring in her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline. Though unsure if dual cultivation would result in a baptismal transformation, it would likely yield some benefits. "Alright." With a slight pause, Azure Phoenix True Monarch nodded in agreement. Though she was a woman, having cultivated for hundreds of years, she naturally wouldn’t be shy and hesitant like many female cultivators, with a little girl’s demeanor. Especially as she had already crossed this boundary with Lu Changsheng, offering her Heavenly Phoenix Primordial Yin for healing, she wouldn’t refuse the opportunity for further advancement through dual cultivation. Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately spoke seriously: "Please cooperate with me, Daoist." Azure Phoenix True Monarch hesitated slightly, gazing into Lu Changsheng’s eyes for a moment before nodding gently. Lu Changsheng, seeing this, immediately rose, wrapping his arms around Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s waist, reversing their roles by pressing her down onto the stone bed beneath him. Perhaps due to the excitement of the Mystic Dragon Nirvana Power and Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Power coursing through his body, Lu Changsheng slightly lost control of his strength, causing Azure Phoenix True Monarch to let out a soft, alluring moan from her lips. "Boom!" Yet merely this faint sound caused Lu Changsheng’s entire body to ignite, his eyes shooting out two intense beams of light, nearly losing his mind. After all, this was Azure Phoenix True Monarch! In his early days as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, upon hearing her name, the number one Loose Cultivator of Jiang Country, he had been filled with longing. Now, he had her beneath him! Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, striving to maintain his reason, grasping her round, jade-like straight legs, beginning the Sun Moon Samsara Technique and Yin Yang Creation Classic. "Screech!" As Lu Changsheng’s cultivation technique operated, a crimson glow flowed from Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s body, then began to burn like flames, gradually forming a soaring Fiery Fire Phoenix. Their figure slender and elegant, majestic and noble, with layered feathers on their tail, each feather radiating a different fiery hue, like a circulation of the Five Virtues. "Roar!" The Mystic Dragon Nirvana Pill condensed an Ancient Azure Dragon’s roar, its draconic cries resounding in harmony with the phoenix’s song, perfectly complementing each other. Soon, the two powers began to merge slowly, as if a yin and a yang, perfectly harmonious. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline in Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s body continuously emerged, merging with Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body and Mystic Dragon Nirvana Power. During this process, the two bodies on the stone bed melded like water and milk, indistinguishable from each other. ... Time passed little by little. In the mountain cave, Lu Changsheng and Azure Phoenix True Monarch engaged in day-and-night dual cultivation, their bodies’ dragon and phoenix shadows intertwined, enveloping them both. Throughout this process, the Dragon Phoenix Nirvana Power incessantly cleansed their flesh, muscles, skin, organs, and dantian, transforming them as if being reborn, making them even more robust and resilient. Especially Lu Changsheng. In his early days of pursuing Foundation Establishment, Xiao Xiyue had sent him a Golden Crow Elixir, using the Great Sun Essence from it and her Moonlight Spirit Body’s Taiyin Origin to condense a top-level foundation for him, a Sun Moon Dao Foundation! However, his innate Seven Luminaries Dao Foundation was unusual, and due to a previous twist of fate with Yun Wanshang’s Spirit-nurturing Energy, it eventually transformed into a Yin Yang Five Elements Foundation Base. Now, Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s situation was remarkably similar to that time.
