Ye Xian shared his concern with Aureliana, his voice showing frustration. "There's a problem, though. When I use my blissful energy during dual cultivation, my partner reaches climax incredibly quickly—sometimes within just a few breaths. This doesn't give me enough time to properly conduct the dual cultivation process and get the maximum benefits."
Aureliana's voice carried understanding, though there was also expectation in her tone. "You must find your own method to control and regulate this process. It will require patience, practice, and careful experimentation on your part. No teacher can simply hand you mastery—it must be earned through dedicated effort."
Ye Xian sighed. Careful experimentation, huh? That sounded a lot more exciting in his head than it should've. He tried not to imagine himself surrounded by beautiful cultivators, diligently "experimenting" for the sake of enlightenment. Focus, Ye Xian. You're a cultivator, not a walking libido.
She paused thoughtfully, and when she continued, her voice brightened with genuine excitement. "However, I have excellent news for you. You can now harness the light element that you obtained from Sheng Qianying during your dual cultivation session."
Hearing this revelation, Ye Xian felt a surge of both surprise and delight course through him. Element awakening typically only occurred when a cultivator successfully entered the Elemental Disciple Realm, where they would undergo the awakening process to discover their natural elemental affinity.
Since he is in the Ki Warrior Realm, the fact that he could already access the light element—which he had acquired from Sheng Qianying during their intimate encounter—was truly extraordinary. While not entirely impossible for other cultivators to achieve early awakening, this phenomenon was made possible by the Heaven-Defying Reverse Taiji treasure's miraculous properties.
Was it possible to collect all the elements by sleeping with women of different affinities?
The idea struck him like lightning, and for one fleeting, ridiculous second, Ye Xian pictured himself building a harem of elemental priestesses: a fiery redhead who wielded flame, a sultry water maiden always half-drenched in mist, a cool, aloof sword fairy from the wind sect, and maybe even a tsundere earth cultivator who hit harder when embarrassed. Gotta catch 'em all, indeed.
"I will teach you some scriptures that will prove invaluable for channeling the light element," Aureliana announced, her voice taking on the measured tone of a patient yet demanding instructor.
She began reciting ancient scriptures, and Ye Xian listened with focused attention, carefully repeating each phrase after her and committing them to memory word by word.
The scriptures were composed in an archaic, mystical language filled with cryptic imagery.
"Light manifests eternally, etching itself into the very marrow, spreading through flesh and soul as it once did on the First Day of Creation. Its radiance pierces the primordial void, and the cultivator becomes as dawn reborn—ever shining, ever ascending toward celestial heights..."
The words flowed in an almost hypnotic pattern that seemed to resonate with something profound deep within his core, as if awakening dormant pathways of understanding.
What proved truly remarkable was Aureliana's teaching efficiency. She needed to recite each scripture only once, and Ye Xian found himself able to memorize it completely in a single hearing. His comprehension seemed enhanced far beyond normal human limits, another testament to the Reverse Taiji treasure's transformative effects.
Aureliana explained that the light element served primarily healing and purification purposes, though it held far greater potential for those who mastered its deeper mysteries. She taught him three techniques that would form the foundation of his light cultivation.
The first was the Life Restoration Scriptur, a healing technique that allowed him to channel his ki and draw forth pure light energy to mend wounds, restore vitality, and accelerate natural recovery processes.
The second was the Myriad Cleansing Light Scripture, a purification method enabling him to cleanse toxins, dispel negative energies, and eliminate spiritual impurities that could hinder cultivation progress.
The third was a defensive technique called Blinding Radiance, a protective method that could generate intense, disorienting flashes of light for defense, creating opportunities for escape, or temporarily incapacitating opponents.
When Ye Xian eagerly requested more advanced defensive techniques, Aureliana's tone became firm but encouraging.
"These three techniques are more than sufficient for your current level. You must first achieve mastery over these techniques before advancing to more complex applications. Rushing ahead without proper foundation will only lead to instability and potential harm."
Curious about the healing technique's limitations, Ye Xian asked about its healing capabilities. Aureliana's response was both reassuring and sobering:
"This scripture lets you stay alive even after taking heavy damage. As long as you're not fully dead, it will heal you. The more serious the injury, the more energy and time it takes. But as your cultivation grows and you master the Life Restoration Scripture, you'll heal faster and more easily."
Hearing this, Ye Xian felt a surge of excitement at possessing such a powerful technique. He pressed her about the scriptures' origins, but Aureliana remained mysteriously silent on the matter. Rather than taking offense, Ye Xian reflected that as the master of the Heaven-Defying Reverse Taiji treasure, perhaps it simply wasn't the right time for him to learn such secrets—or perhaps some knowledge was better left unknown until he grew stronger.
There was also the intriguing possibility that he could obtain other elements when dual cultivating with different female cultivators. Such alluring prospects stirred his imagination, but he understood it could also be extremely dangerous.
After receiving these two scriptures and blindinh Radiance technique, Ye Xian spent the remainder of the evening within his inner world, dedicating himself completely to understanding and practicing them. He worked methodically to grasp their deeper meanings, experimenting with various methods of channeling his newly acquired light element according to the ancient instructions.
The Reverse Taiji treasure truly proved heaven-defying in allowing him to wield the light element so naturally. Concerned about potential harm to Sheng Qianying, Ye Xian questioned Aureliana about the effects of their dual cultivation. Her response brought him great relief.
"Not only will it cause her no harm, but quite the contrary—it will benefit her tremendously. Your Yang essence will boost her cultivation speed, enhance her natural talent, and increase affinity toward her own elemental awakening."
However, Aureliana's next words carried a grave warning that sent chills down his spine.
"You must never reveal the true nature of your Yang essence to anyone. If certain female experts discovered this secret, they would imprison you without hesitation and use you as a Yang cauldron to boost their own cultivation. Even worse, if some male cultivators learned of your abilities, they would literally consume your flesh try to steal your power. Because of the Reverse Taiji's influence, your body has been purified of all impurities, your talent enhanced beyond measure—and some old cultivators stuck in their advancement would capture and devour you to extend their own lifespans. This secret must remain yours alone, or you'll face a fate worse than death."
The thought of being discovered by female cultivators made Ye Xian fidget nervously, though a tiny voice in his head whispered that if a kind female cultivator happened to ask very nicely for cultivation assistance, well... he might consider it. You know, purely for cultivation purposes. Depending on the person and situation, of course!
But the absolutely horrifying mental image of grumpy old male cultivators trying to turn him into some sort of cultivation snack made him do a full-body shiver of disgust. Nope, nope, nope! He absolutely refused to let his brain go down that particular rabbit hole of nightmares.
If word got out about his special constitution, he'd probably end up being chased around by an army of determined female cultivators like he was the last piece of candy at a festival. Better to play completely clueless and pretend he knew absolutely nothing about any of this cultivation mumbo-jumbo.
He gave his head a vigorous shake, like a dog trying to get water out of its ears, and forced himself to focus on his training. Much safer than letting his imagination run wild with all these ridiculous scenarios!
My Body Is a Temple, Please Do Not Invade It . Unless You're Pretty.
He practiced with unwavering dedication until late into the night, discovering that his comprehension of the scripture getting better. He eventually emerged from his inner world to spend additional time refining his Shrouded Aura Triad Illusion technique, improving his movement patterns and stealth abilities under the cover of darkness before finally retiring to sleep.
Morning arrived with gentle persistence.The first golden rays of sunlight filtered through his window, painting the room in warm hues and signaling the start of a new day filled with possibilities.
Ye Xian departed from the Ye estate with purposeful strides, making his way toward the academy while his mind continued processing everything Aureliana had taught him. The knowledge of light element techniques and his deeper understanding of proper dual cultivation methods filled him with newfound confidence and a clearer sense of direction for his cultivation journey.
