Duality of Shadows

The whale spent two days assimilating the vast amount of information from everything they bought. Once finished, he sent a message to Liumi, who lived freely in the forest when they were in the city.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Liumi received the Immortal Armament God Dao and was very excited. Since she started spiritual cultivation, her overall power and her ability to act independently in a fight had increased drastically, but her synchronization with the spear and soul had decreased. She was having serious trouble balancing this because the body of an immortal weapon was much more complex than a regular body. Now, this new knowledge would give her what was missing.

She immediately returned to the inventory to study. Then, the whale triggered Gaia’s blessing, which promptly responded to the call within seconds. Bruno spoke excitedly:

’Learn this second part as quickly as you can. It seems to be able to connect you to the Heaven’s Will and celestial laws of all universes. If you can master it minimally, when I leave, using the power of faith, we can still keep in touch.’

Of all the things they bought and read, this seemed to be the most promising. Bruno immediately devised a plan using Gaia’s power with this Dao. The power of faith always sought to reach the target, even if it was in another universe. With the will of their faithful flowing from the planet all the time, Gaia could use it and establish a connection with them easily; after all, Gaia was a natural life form connected to celestial laws.

’It will be perfect for supporting the faithful here and increasing the power level of people. In the future, if the Gaias from other planets manage to learn this Dao, we could use the celestial miracle to bring them to this universe without needing the primordial power,’ Bruno explained lightly. ’Waiting for this universe to generate planets and stars will take too long; our tactic will be to steal planets and populate this universe. So, work hard, or the other Gaias will surpass you.’

Gaia spoke worriedly: ’I’ll do everything to meet expectations... just, I need some time to get used to the new environment. The sun is different, the universe, the laws...’

’We’re not in such a hurry; we still have a lot to do here,’ the whale replied calmly, and Gaia went out to focus on that.

Alm and Bruno briefly thought about the other things. The fourth level of the Forging God Dao didn’t bring new runic seals, which was a pity; but it gave them something they had always dreamed of since the first time they bought it. At this level, they could finally place more than one runic seal on weapons. However, to do this, very specific ores are needed, and the weapon material must be of the highest level. They had neither, so they could only rely on a divine sect to take advantage of this level and practice it.

Bruno reflected coldly: ’That dual cultivation technique... seems perfect to complete the Soul Link. Besides, it uses exactly the same principles. It seems like the manipulative Heaven’s Will always wanted to throw this at us to learn to restore our soul since that time... if you hadn’t accused me...’

’Learning the theory of the technique, without knowing the practice would be useless. We could only get to that if we used it... or did you want to use it back then?’ Alm spoke dryly, and Bruno huffed furiously. ’Well, it’s the same now. As soon as Ruri...’

Knock, Knock, Knock.

They were so focused on their studies that they didn’t notice someone approaching the door. Suddenly, Ruri entered smoothly, with a cheerful smile on her lips.

"I did it, Master!"

She spoke excitedly, and the whole atmosphere of the room changed completely. Ruri waved her hand, and four lotuses so dense they were almost solid appeared, spinning gently. She showed it and looked at the whale eagerly.

Alm and Bruno surrendered with a sigh; motivation moves mountains. She easily completed the fourth level of mental cultivation like this. After the events, her mind became stable and focused to the extreme; nothing seemed difficult in front of her will.

They nodded, and she approached. "Study this first," the whale spoke and sent the new technique to her; within seconds, she was completely euphoric upon understanding what it was about.

When she finished reading everything, she approached them slowly and whispered something softly in their ears. It was a new idea, something that made the whale’s eyes widen slightly, and Ruri chuckled seductively. She didn’t take long...

Much later. With Ruri already sound asleep, clinging to them tightly, the whale was wide awake, feeling the results.

’Our three life energies merged and split. But... they grew a bit more than before,’ Bruno commented dazedly.

Alm analyzed, ’We lost a bit of our life energy, but thanks to physical cultivation, it’s already thousands of times greater than that of a human and will increase even more in the future. We lost some of our soul energy, but we have a divine soul; it will recover easily now that we’ve learned to use it better. In the end, we lost nothing, and we gained a mind power thousands of times greater.’

’In the end, Ruri has completely recovered her life energy now, and her soul is becoming something more terrifying. She gained a lot, and so did we... now... yes, she’s able to use the Eternal Bond about three times without suffering side effects. Then we can just replenish it again,’ Bruno concluded lightly.

Alm then pondered on this abnormal result, ’The amount of energy that existed in both of us split, and with the help of our cultivation and soul, in the end, the energy increased; it’s like donating blood, and our bodies will recover what they lost at no cost. In the future, if we refine this technique, we can use our other technique together, the World Exterminating Karmic Lotus. It will be only once, and we’ll be extremely weak, but we won’t die, and we can recover together.’

In the end, they both felt that the gains were astronomical. Both sides benefited, and now they could use their first joint technique created without harm, and the future promised much more.

Alm and Bruno were shocked because they had never heard of such a result. It was common knowledge that cultivators used this type of dual technique for cultivation, siphoning off Qi or other energies from one another. But this newlywed couple only exchanged what they had best and didn’t lose anything at all.

Ruri was regaining her mind with her cultivation; Alm and Bruno were easily regaining their soul and life energy. The Celestial Dual Cultivation Technique was already something terrifying and unique; and they added and stacked multiple other powers that had never been used together, creating something irregular and abnormal.

’No one besides us two will probably be able to use this. And it’s a new technique, I’ll call it Everlasting Link.’
