Senior Brother, have you finished reading

(This chapter has been revised and contains no inappropriate content.)

Su Ji paid no further attention to Su Jiu.

He returned all his focus to the quaint book resting in front of him.

He opened to the first page.

The very opening lines immediately captured his full interest.

"Heaven and Earth possess Yin and Yang, just as humanity is divided into male and female. To pursue the Great Dao of Immortality, one must first harmonize Yin and Yang. Only when the dragon and tiger converge can one achieve the ultimate end..."

Good heavens!

This profound tone really had some substance to it!

Su Ji nodded repeatedly as he read, his estimation of this cultivation method he had "borrowed" from Qin Feng rising a few notches higher.

It seemed that kid wasn't completely useless after all; the cultivation methods in his collection actually held some genuine merit.

He continued reading.

This Divine Firmament True Art emphasized using one's own masculine Yang energy as a furnace and drawing upon the extreme Yin energy of heaven and earth as a fire to forge Yin and Yang within the body.

Ultimately, it aimed to reach the supreme realm where water and fire perfectly harmonized, and the dragon and tiger brought auspiciousness.

To put it bluntly, it was a dual cultivation method.

Moreover, it was a very proper dual cultivation method, entirely unlike the wicked, exploitative arts that plucked Yin to nourish Yang at the expense of others, which he had initially imagined.

The supreme principles of Yin and Yang expounded within were incredibly profound and abstruse, even more brilliant than the cultivation manuals he had previously browsed in the Acacia Sect.

Su Ji read with great relish, even feeling that some of the theories contained in this method shared a subtle, wondrous similarity with his own Desolate Meteor Fallen Dragon Art.

Both emphasized the concept of being "domineering."

The Desolate Meteor Fallen Dragon Art was about conquering all things, being the sole sovereign in heaven and on earth. Lacking cultivation resources? Everything in the world could serve as his cultivation resources.

Meanwhile, this Divine Firmament True Art was about conquering Yin and Yang, controlling the origin of heaven and earth, and forcibly blending all opposing forces to use for oneself.

The two seemed to reach the same destination through entirely different paths.

Su Ji's mind couldn't help but become active.

Had he stumbled upon another treasure?

"Senior Brother, are you done reading yet?"

Su Jiu's slightly impatient voice rang out once again.

"What's the rush?"

Su Ji replied.

"Sharpening the axe won't delay the woodcutting. I have to study this thoroughly first to ensure nothing goes wrong. This concerns both of our lives. Junior Sister, can't you be a little more patient? Also, don't interrupt me while I'm reading."

"I will if I want to."

"Heh, suit yourself."

Despite his casual words, the speed at which Su Ji flipped the pages noticeably increased.

Soon, he had roughly skimmed through the entire book.

Su Ji closed his eyes and quickly ran the contents of the cultivation method through his mind again. After confirming there were no major issues, he suddenly let out a long breath of stale air.

"Junior Sister."

Su Ji opened his eyes, an eager, restless gleam flickering within them.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmph!"

In his mind, Su Jiu's disdainful cold snort echoed, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction.

The next moment.

"Well... Junior Sister."

He cleared his throat and spoke cautiously, adopting a negotiating tone.

"Before we begin, I have a presumptuous request."

Su Jiu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

What kind of trick was this guy trying to pull now?

"Speak."

Her voice carried a distinct hint of wariness.

An embarrassed smile appeared on Su Ji's face as he waved the quaint book in his hand.

"Look, Junior Sister, I just studied this Divine Firmament True Art."

"I found that what it teaches is indeed profound, extensive, and infinitely mysterious."

Su Jiu didn't speak. She merely looked at him coldly with her bright, fox-like eyes, waiting for him to get to the point.

"And so?"

Su Jiu gritted her teeth, squeezing the words out.

Su Ji's expression immediately shifted into one of humble readiness to learn.

"So, I propose."

He flipped the Divine Firmament True Art to a specific page and pointed at a rather impressionistic illustration, his face displaying an unprecedented seriousness.

"Look at this move. It is the most basic and crucial introductory posture in this cultivation method."

"It emphasizes a true connection of minds, allowing the spiritual energy to maximally mobilize the Yin and Yang energies within both of our bodies, achieving twice the result with half the effort."

Su Ji spoke logically and clearly, seemingly engaged in a deeply academic discussion about a profound cultivation problem.

Su Jiu's gaze followed the direction of his finger.

A rush of heat shot straight to the top of her head.

"Su! Ji!"

Su Jiu's voice turned incredibly sharp.

Without a second thought, she raised her foot and kicked fiercely right at him!
