Chapter 258: Dual Cultivation Breakthrough, Small World Formed

Scorching power and Lunar Qi collided in the air, making a "hissing" sound.

The two opposing forces repelled each other, unable to fuse at all.

"It's not working."

Zhou Chen frowned. "The distance is too great; they can't truly intermingle like this."

"Then… then what should we do?"

Miao Dandan opened her eyes, which were filled with nervousness.

Zhou Chen fell silent for a moment and took a deep breath.

"We must have close contact to let the two forces truly fuse."

"Mhm…"

Miao Dandan's voice was as faint as a mosquito's, almost inaudible. Her face was completely flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhou Chen.

"Yeah."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's about to begin."

Miao Dandan looked up at Zhou Chen's serious gaze and bit her lip.

"I… I trust Master."

But in the next second, she suddenly plucked up her courage, took a step forward of her own accord, and hugged Zhou Chen.

"Master, let me do it."

She buried her head in Zhou Chen's chest, her voice muffled. "Let me… let me do it myself. I don't want to make things difficult for Master."

Zhou Chen's body stiffened, then slowly relaxed as he reached out to gently wrap his arms around her slender waist.

Miao Dandan's body was very soft, emitting a faint fragrance like a snow lotus blooming on top of an iceberg.

"Dandan…"

"Master, please don't speak."

Miao Dandan interrupted him, her voice tinged with both shyness and determination. "Elder Xuan said our hearts and minds must be as one. Master… can you feel Dandan's feelings?"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes to feel with his heart.

He could feel Miao Dandan's heartbeat, her nervousness, her shyness, and that deep sense of trust and attachment.

"I feel it."

Zhou Chen said softly.

"That's good."

Miao Dandan took a deep breath and began to circulate her Cultivation Technique with all her might.

…

…

…

Three days and three nights are omitted here.

The Lunar Qi within Miao Dandan's body surged out wildly, passing directly into Zhou Chen's body through the point where they touched.

A profound power flooded into Zhou Chen's body, yet he felt no discomfort; instead, he felt incredibly refreshed.

His Essence Yang Qi also began to surge, intermingling with the Lunar Qi.

Yin and Yang complementing each other!

At this moment, the two opposing forces reached a perfect balance, transforming into a brand-new power!

Is this the Power of Creation?!

Zhou Chen felt his consciousness begin to sublimate, as if he could see the trajectories of the world's operation and feel the laws of growth for all things.

"So this is the Power of Creation…"

He murmured to himself.

Miao Dandan's body began to glow, enveloped in a faint milky-white light.

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually illuminating the entire secret room.

This was a sign that the Lunar Divine Physique was Awakening.

"Master…"

Miao Dandan murmured softly, her voice carrying a hint of pain. "It hurts… my body is so hot…"

"Endure it."

Zhou Chen comforted her softly. "This is a normal reaction to the Awakening of the Lunar Divine Physique. It will pass soon. Can you still hold on?"

"Mhm…"

Miao Dandan bit her lip as fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.

The process of Awakening the Lunar Divine Physique was extremely painful; every cell in her body was being restructured, and every meridian was being widened.

Ugh…

But she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, simply holding Zhou Chen tightly and continuously drawing the feedback of the Power of Creation from him.

Time passed second by second.

After an unknown amount of time, Miao Dandan's body suddenly jolted—the Lunar Divine Physique had fully awakened!

A terrifying chill erupted from her body, instantly covering the entire secret room in frost and dropping the temperature below freezing.

"It's a success!"

Miao Dandan opened her eyes, a strange light flashing within them.

She could clearly feel that her strength had exploded countless times over!

Her cultivation Bottleneck began to loosen, as if something was brewing.

The Innate Spiritual Qi of King Mings Immortal Mansion was also being swept in continuously.

"So strong…"

Zhou Chen marveled, while simultaneously feeling a massive amount of Lunar Qi flood into his own body.

That power was incredibly pure, merging perfectly with his Essence Yang Qi and transforming into the most refined Power of Creation.

His cultivation also began to climb!

The shackles of the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm began to crack!

"I can't wait any longer!"

Zhou Chen shouted and immediately took out all the Breakthrough Materials.

earth core source crystal, nine heavens dao lotus, nether king ice soul, Blazing Fire Dao Lotus, ancient moon divine gold, Heavenly Heart Dao Lotus!

The six great treasures appeared simultaneously, hovering around Zhou Chen and emitting a brilliant radiance.

Each treasure contained terrifying energy, any one of which was enough to allow an ordinary Quasi-Emperor to break through to the Emperor Realm.

But Zhou Chen was going to refine all six at once!

"And the heart of the world tree!"

Zhou Chen took out the heart of the world tree from the System space.

It was a fist-sized crystal emitting a rich vitality, as if it contained the life force of an entire world.

This was a treasure he had previously intercepted via the System's return; it wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but the previous conditions didn't allow it, making it impossible to refine. Now was the perfect time!

"Refine!"

Zhou Chen formed hand seals, and the seven great treasures flew up together, rotating around him.

In the next second, all the treasures erupted with blinding light, and energy flooded wildly into Zhou Chen's body.

Boom!

Zhou Chen's body was instantly enveloped in endless light, and the entire secret room shook violently.

Miao Dandan was pushed back repeatedly by this aura, hitting the wall with shock in her eyes.

It was too strong!

This power far exceeded what an ordinary Quasi-Emperor could absorb.

Within Zhou Chen's body, the heart of the world tree transformed into countless green specks of light, merging into his every cell.

That majestic vitality caused an earth-shattering transformation in his body.

His internal organs were reshaped once again, and every drop of blood became crystal clear, emitting a faint green glow.

The flames of the earth core source crystal burned within him, tempering every inch of his flesh.

The Dao rhyme of the nine heavens dao lotus washed over his Divine Soul, making his consciousness incredibly clear.

The chill of the nether king ice soul froze his Impurities, removing all flaws.

The flames of the Blazing Fire Dao Lotus and the chill of the nether king ice soul complemented each other, forming a duality of ice and fire within his body.

The sharpness of the ancient moon divine gold polished his bones, making every single one as hard as eternal divine gold.

The Power of Creation from the Heavenly Heart Dao Lotus allowed him to grasp the true essence of the world's operation.

The powers of the seven great treasures collided wildly within his body, continuously merging and sublimating!

"It… it hurts!"

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

This pain was indescribable, as if his entire being was being torn apart and put back together. Every second was an ordeal.

"Guiyi Secret Realm, open!"

Zhou Chen shouted, and his consciousness sank into his Dantian.

The System reward he had previously obtained—the Guiyi Secret Realm—actually began to dissolve inch by inch at this moment!

The Guiyi Secret Realm was an independent space that already contained a large amount of Power of Creation.

Now, this space was continuously collapsing and beginning to fuse with his body, becoming Zhou Chen's nourishment.
