Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 518  In the North...

One was private for Wu Long and his Dao Family like before, another was for the members of Yin Yang Unity Palace.

And one more was for the Frozen Garden Palace, the last one also filled with the Cold Qi he naturally absorbed together with the Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm.

But, as he sat down in the most secure room within the cultivation zone, infusing Cold Qi into the reserve that would distribute it later, he halted the process, feeling a familiar feeling.

As he contemplated the existence of Cold Qi, a new Dao Rune soon revealed itself, a Cold Rune.

\'Hah, what a pleasant surprise\'

He smiled, completely unexpectedly stumbling on a new Dao Rune that was accidentally swallowed by his technique along with all of the Cold Qi in the air.

It took him quite some time to perceive the Cold Rune and its existence, as it did not enter his bloodstream as all the previous Dao Runes, as he was only able to confine it in his Dantian, and unable to form as Soul bond with it as it did not respond to any stimuli.

Feeding it Spiritual Qi which it naturally absorbed would cause it to create a chill that was not at all beneficial to him and which he had to purge.

\'Hmm, I guess I would have to go around with it for some time like with the Lightning Rune...\'

He experimented with it for some time, and not finding any way to interact with the Dao Rune decided to postpone it until he could figure out what were the conditions to make it his own.

Wu Long then finished filling the reserve with the Cold Qi that should last for some time, and exited the cultivation caves, approaching Qiu Yilao and handing her a scroll he wrote with their new technique.

"L-like that?"

"Yes, just like that.

You\'ll have to get used to it.

Now, you have to first learn the technique, as well as have everyone learn it as well, and when you have figured it out, cultivate in the underground facility, restructuring your foundation up to now with this process"

He handed her another scroll she received as her jaw almost dropped as he made a foundation restructuring manual for their technique at the same time.

Grand Elder Qu standing next to her abruptly sat down, her knees buckling as she looked at him with round eyes.

"Um... not that we don\'t trust you after everything you\'ve done for us... but... how..."

Another Elder said in a bewildered tone and he chuckled.

"You will learn more about me as we go along.

But the gist of it is, I am not someone from the Three Continents, so I have access to knowledge that is not circulating here, and I have a bit of experience when it comes to fiddling with techniques"

His words caused a flurry of emotions and reactions in all of the women, as he didn\'t conceal much. He simply did not overwhelm them with information that they were not ready for yet, as there was plenty of time for gradually introducing them to the concept of who he was really.

"But for now, when you finish restructuring your foundation, try to raise the cultivation levels of every member as high as it is possible in the next two months.

The quality of this technique, as well as of the Spiritual Qi and Cold Qi inside should be enough to rapidly advance your cultivation bases, particularly of those still in the Revolving Qi Realm as they would advance faster than everyone"

He then added, as they nodded with understanding, since he did his part and it was now their turn to show him their determination and efforts.

"In two months time I will give you another technique which is currently not ready yet, which would be the only Dual Cultivation technique that you could use. It also would only have one counterpart technique, which I will use when cultivating with you, which would honestly be told, practically impossible for any other cultivator to learn"

He then gave them a heads up to also mentally prepare, as well as reevaluate their decision if they had any doubts.

\'He is too considerate for the selfish man he claims to be\'

Qiu Yilao smiled wryly as he was essentially giving them two months prior notice since after that they would be basically unable to cultivate any other way.

She knew that he probably did not need two months to create that technique, given the fact he created theirs in mere weeks.

The Frozen Garden Palace entered seclusion two days later.

The members of the Yin Yang Unity Palace also entered their part of cultivation caves, which were split into individual rooms for pairs, for obvious reasons.

There were only around 3400 members left at this moment, Sect Protectors making up around a 1000 of them, with about a 1000 Sect Retainers.

Wu Long then departed alone in the middle of the night, discreetly, with only his women knowing of his departure while others were under impression that he went into the cultivation caves himself.

His destination was past the Azure Eagle Empire to the very distant and mostly barren Northern Islands, one of which was home to one of the Five Great Sects, the Brilliant Sun Temple.

The Northern Sea was harsh and unfriendly, with cold winds and perpetually stormy weather, along with chunks of ice that would sink any ship as they floated around in the high waves of the storms. It was thus not very suitable for naval crossing, the only trade route being closer to the Central Sea.

Wu Long\'s destination, however, was in the other direction, closer to the Outer Ocean beyond the Three Continents, the members of that Sect traveling there in treasure ships much like Cao Xiang\'s, though of course smaller in size as hers was quite unique.

Among the cold stormy sea, with thick clouds covering the sky and creating a gloomy atmosphere even during day, there was a bright spot, a large island glowing with the orange-red glow of flowing magma and flames.

There were magnificent temples standing on the giant rocks among the flowing fire, long stone bridges connecting them into one whole. The island and the seabed beside it were a giant Spiritual Land perpetually filled with Fire QI.

On a platform along the solid rock shore, with five treasure ships docked in the distance to a pier cut out from volcanic rock, a muscular bald man with a white beard looked toward the stormy horizon which was even harsher around the island because of the constant temperature differences.

"I don\'t understand... why didn\'t we send out a ship to greet him... how is he going to cross this Sea?"

A young, also muscular man stood beside him, being precisely the Prime Disciple Wu Long already met before, Beng Mao.

"Hahaha! How would I know? He just told me he didn\'t need a welcoming ship"

Grand Elder Gan\'s booming voice resounded far and wide even with through the storm as his bald head shined from the distant light of the volcano behind him, as well as periodically lightning dancing far above in the cloudy sky.

"Besides, aren\'t we too hasty to be waiting for him now? We have only contacted him a bit more than a week ago... if he was in Fantian Kingdom, he should at least be arriving two weeks from now..." Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"He just told me he is on his way so I came"

The Prime Disciple continued to question the Grand Elder, looking at the line of Sect Protectors and Elders who were standing in wait while the old man shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh... he is here"

His eyes then narrowed as Beng Mao turned to the sea as well, the eyes of everyone else following the two and then widening as they soon detected a dot on the horizon that quickly grew in size until a man floated down to the platform.

"Haha, it has been some time, Grand Elder Gan"

Wu Long lightly stepped on the solid rock, a light smile on his face under the bewildered gazes of people around.
