A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

Shocked.

Eighteen enormous sculptures of phoenixes inverted positions stand starkly in the plaza on the outer mountain peak.

They discussed their plans and expressed their deep affection.

Somersaulting butterfly, back-flying duck.

White Tiger Soars, Black Cicada Appears.

A monkey clings to a tree; a cat and a mouse share a hole.

Dragon leaps, tiger strides.

Monkeys fight, cicadas cling.

The rabbit sucks its hair, the fish catches its scales.

……

It includes illustrations of almost all dual cultivation postures.

Each sculpture is so lifelike that even the expressions and beads of sweat are clearly visible.

The outer sect of the Blissful Sect has directly torn away the fig leaf covering all the newly initiated disciples.

The disciples who had just entered the outer sect, regardless of gender, were all blushing, but they couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

Cao Wang glanced around, his expression unchanged.

Having lived two lives, what kind of movies haven't I seen?

at this time.

The square had been surrounded by people for some time now.

Upon hearing that a new member had joined the sect, the senior disciples from the outer sect poured out from all directions of the courtyard like cats smelling fish.

A huge, dark mass of people, each with eyes brighter than the last.

When a woman looks at a man, it's like a wolf or a tiger.

When a man looks at a woman, he vomits three feet deep.

"Seriously? This batch of female disciples is of such poor quality?"

"That's it? I thought she was a celestial being descended to earth!"

"Let's go, let's go, this is a waste of time!"

A group of senior male students glanced at the newly initiated junior female students, their expectations instantly vanished, and they dispersed grumbling.

The group of junior female students were left red-faced with anger, pounding their chests and stamping their feet.

"You're all blind!"

"What's wrong with me?!"

……

Cao Wang silently withdrew his gaze.

This senior student may have been harsh in his words, but he was speaking the truth.

Even he lost his appetite because of these women.

But on the other side, the atmosphere was completely different.

"What's your cultivation level, Junior Brother?"

Several beautiful senior female disciples had already surrounded the newly initiated male disciple, blocking him in a circle with burning, ardent eyes.

"My sister is flawless, and she cultivates the White Tiger Devouring the Sun Technique. If you follow her, you'll advance a thousand miles a day!"

"Come with your older sister. She can protect you and keep you from being bullied by those sleazy men!"

The newlyweds were flattered and at a loss for words; a few quick-witted ones had already started bowing and scraping.

"Cultivating with my senior sisters is much better than paying protection money to that fat bastard!"

The scene was so lively it resembled a vegetable market.

Just as Cao Wang was about to slip away quietly, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Junior brother, how old are you?"

A scene of being teased by a young, eccentric woman immediately comes to mind.

Cao Wang turned his head and met a smirking face.

The senior female student had a blade of grass between her teeth, arms crossed, and tilted her head to scrutinize him with undisguised scrutiny.

"Reporting to Senior Sister."

Cao Wang forced a smile, "Junior brother is eighteen this year."

"eighteen?"

The senior sister's eyes lit up.

"In the prime of his life! Unlike those senior brothers in their mid-twenties, who are like old men, they can pee on their feet even while standing."

Cao Wang: "..."

"Would you like to sit in the courtyard with me? My courtyard is lush with water plants and has a beautiful environment. A deep conversation there would be very beneficial to your cultivation."

"I'm afraid I've disappointed my sister."

Cao Wang politely took half a step back.

"Junior brother, you must not reveal your true nature while practicing the Zhenyang Locking Yuan Technique."

The senior sister's smile froze for a moment.

"You were..."

Her expression suddenly changed, as if she had suddenly remembered some taboo. She took two steps back and her gaze towards Cao Wang changed from teasing to wary.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, disappearing into the crowd.

Cao Wang stood there, slightly taken aback.

Zhenyang Lock Yuan Gong.

The moment the name of this technique was mentioned, the other party ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

Could it be related to Jiao San Niang?

Cao Wang thought about it again and realized that this would actually bring him some peace and quiet.

It can reduce a lot of trouble.

"Everyone, disperse!"

A cold voice came from the air.

Everyone looked up.

A cold-faced woman in a purple-red robe walked through the air.

The senior students who had been making a ruckus just moments before fell silent instantly, scattering in twos and threes like birds and beasts, even faster than when they arrived.

Zhao Dezhu, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and introduced the situation with clasped hands:

"This is Elder Leng Yue, our outer sect's transmission elder. Once you enter the outer sect, you can obtain more advanced cultivation techniques from Elder Leng Yue."

A cold moon.

Man as his name suggests.

His face was as cold as ice, with not a trace of emotion in his eyes or brows.

She stood there, and the air around her seemed to drop several degrees.

Everyone's expression turned solemn, and they looked at her expectantly.

Without wasting words, Leng Yue raised her hand and waved it, sending hundreds of streaks of light flying out from her sleeve and landing precisely in front of each person.

Cao Wang reached out and caught it; it was a thin booklet with the title "Dayan Nayang Gong" written on the cover.

"This is the Great Derivation Yang Absorption Technique and the Great Derivation Yin Storage Technique."

Leng Yue's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"The 'Yang Gathering Technique' and 'Yin Storage Technique' that you previously learned are simplified versions of these two techniques. Practicing these techniques, along with the practice of Yin-Yang Harmony, allows Qi to enter the Yin-Yang body and circulate throughout the body, which can further enhance your cultivation."

"Furthermore, this method will no longer involve forcibly absorbing the other party's essence and blood. For those below the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivating this technique is sufficient. Take good care of yourself."

After saying that, Leng Yue turned around, her body enveloped in purple light, and she disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

From beginning to end, she didn't give anyone a single extra glance.

The group of newcomers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

After Leng Yue left, Zhao Dezhu cleared his throat and said, "How you cultivate depends on your own comprehension. The competition in the outer sect is even fiercer than during the preliminary selection. No one will guide you for free. Someone will take you to the cultivation grounds next."

After saying that, Zhao Dezhu left.

Soon, an outer sect steward led the group across the square and along the bluestone path into the center.

Unlike the mud-brick houses for the pre-selected disciples, each outer disciple has an independent courtyard. Although it is not large, at least privacy is guaranteed.

Cao Wang was assigned a small, inconspicuous courtyard in a corner.

In the room, Cao Wang sat cross-legged and opened the "Great Evolution Yang Absorption Technique".

After studying it word by word, he closed the booklet a moment later and sighed.

This technique is completely opposite in approach to the "Zhenyang Suoyuan Gong" taught by Jiao San Niang.

One method teaches you how to lock in Yang energy, pressing your essence and spiritual energy deep within your dantian, making it thicker and stronger with each press, until you reach that critical point, and then feed it to Jiao San Niang, like a flood crashing against a dam, breaking through the insurmountable barrier in her realm.

One teaches you how to release your yang energy, allowing your essence and spiritual energy to circulate and exchange with your partner's yin energy, so that you are in me and I am in you, achieving mutual benefit and growth.

The two practices are in direct conflict.

You can only choose one of the two.

Moreover, Jiao San Niang's Zhenyang Suoyuan Gong is more profound, so Cao Wang knows how to choose.

Furthermore, since we haven't yet established a firm foothold, we can't afford to offend Jiao San Niang, our powerful backer.

As the sun sets, its orange-red light streams in through the windows, bathing the entire room in a warm glow.

Cao Wang took out the jade pendant with two fish on his waist and gently stroked the hair-thin crack.

I wonder if I'll be able to see her tonight?
