Chapter 1597 Dual Cultivation Ceremony, Deducing the Technique
After the banquet, Liu Changxu, accompanied by a group of beautiful women, went to the Spirit Pool Hall deep within the Cloud Palace.
Inside the Spirit Pool Hall, at the center of the Spirit Pool, wisps of celestial energy wafted, and the clear pool water shimmered with a faint glow. The seven-colored jade stones at the bottom were clearly visible, and the celestial energy flowed through the water as if it were real.
Liu Changxu removed his outer robe, leaving only plain short trousers, and stepped into the pool first. The warm pool water washed over his body, carrying pure immortal energy that surged into his body, instantly washing away the fatigue of the fierce battle, and he clearly felt an indescribable relaxation and comfort.
Xiao Yu, Huang Yuwei, Gao Xin, Murong Xue, Murong Yue and the other women followed their husbands and entered the pool one after another.
They wore simple and cool short clothes, their figures were graceful, and their snow-white skin looked even more radiant under the reflection of water and mist.
After the women entered the water, they naturally moved closer to Liu Changxu.
Liu Changxu stretched out his arms and gently embraced the slender, snow-white waists of Xiao Yu and Huang Yuwei. The warm touch and alluring fragrance ignited a fire within him, and his hands became increasingly restless.
……
Before long, a melodious and soaring tune resounded in the Lingchi Hall.
Having not been intimate with his women for so long, Liu Changxu spent twenty-eight consecutive days in bed with them. Although the passion was intense, it was also taking its toll on him.
After satisfying his women, Liu Changxu immediately began setting up a long-distance teleportation array.
Two months later, Liu Changxu successfully completed the deployment of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array. After multiple experiments verified the teleportation array and confirmed its complete reliability, Xiao Yu used the teleportation array to return to the Ziwei Immortal Palace.
Liu Changxu chose to stay and arrange matters related to the Dual Cultivation Ceremony.
February 28th of the 38526th year of the Great Qi Immortal Calendar was the auspicious day for Liu Changxu and Xiao Yu to hold their dual cultivation ceremony.
That morning, on Ziyun Peak, celestial music filled the air, colorful flags fluttered, and guests flocked in from all directions to offer their congratulations. Everywhere was filled with laughter and joy, a scene of celebration and peace.
Above Ziyun Peak, the newly built Ziyun Immortal Palace stands majestically, and the central white jade square is already filled with guests participating in the dual cultivation celebration.
Liu Changxu wore a bright red dragon-patterned wedding robe, with black cloud-patterned trim outlining his tall and straight figure. The jade belt around his waist was tightly fastened, making him appear even more slender and graceful. His eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and a faint smile played on his lips. Although his immortal power was restrained, he possessed a calm and dignified demeanor, as if he could support the world.
Beside her stood Xiao Yu, dressed in a crimson phoenix-patterned fairy dress. The hem of the dress was embroidered with lifelike intertwined fairy flowers, and the phoenix embroidered with gold thread spread its wings as if about to take flight, its movements seemingly accompanied by flowing rosy light. Her dark hair was carefully styled into a cloud-like bun, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally in the middle, its jade light reflecting off her exquisite face, radiating dazzling brilliance.
The two stood side by side in the center of the high platform, their figures complementing each other, like a match made in heaven. The master of ceremonies, dressed in a brocade robe, spoke with a clear, resonant voice, and as he announced the rites, the complex and solemn ceremony proceeded step by step:
They worship heaven and earth, pay homage to their ancestors, and the couple bows to each other, exchanging jade pendants engraved with each other's names, and making a vow to be forever united.
The moment the master of ceremonies announced "the ceremony is complete," celestial music filled the air, colorful ribbons filled the sky, and the cultivators who had come to witness the ceremony rose to offer their congratulations, their cheers rising like a tidal wave, pushing the festive atmosphere of this dual cultivation ceremony to its climax.
After the ceremony, a grand wedding banquet immediately began.
Led by Luo Ziyan, Liu Changxu and his bride Xiao Yu toasted and exchanged greetings with the important guests in turn. Taking this opportunity, he also got to know many Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouses he had never met before.
Most of these Taiyi Golden Immortals were disciples of the Ziwei Immortal Palace, while a small number, like Liu Changxu, came from affiliated cultivation forces of the Ziwei Immortal Palace.
The reason they came to attend this wedding was not only because of Xiao Yu, but also because many of them wanted to get to know Liu Changxu, a fellow cultivator with extraordinary combat power.
Liu Changxu was quite enthusiastic about the arrival of these fellow cultivators. For him, getting to know these people would be very helpful in establishing a foothold in the Northern Underworld Immortal Realm. After the Dual Cultivation Ceremony, Liu Changxu spent more than a month on his honeymoon with his wife Xiao Yu at Ziyun Peak before returning to Yunxiao Mountain via the super teleportation array.
After returning to Yunxiao Mountain, Liu Changxu spent more than three months with his wives, and then entered a secluded chamber to meditate and deduce the new Red Lotus Immortal Scripture.
He sat upright on a futon in the center of the secluded meditation chamber, his eyes gently closed, his mind completely immersed in his sea of consciousness, abandoning all worldly distractions, and calmly comprehending and deducing.
In order to comprehend and deduce the most powerful cultivation techniques and lay a solid foundation for his future advancement to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and even higher realms, Liu Changxu first began to study top-tier cultivation techniques such as the Azure Lotus Immortal Scripture and the Great Sun Sea-Suppressing Immortal Scripture.
As time went by, his various insights into the Azure Lotus Immortal Scripture continued to well up in his mind.
The Great Way practiced in this scripture emphasizes continuous life, purity and nature, and encompasses all things in the world. It can cleanse all evil and malevolent energy, solidify the foundation of the Way, nourish the source, and is the most moderate and peaceful.
The Great Sun Sea-Suppressing Immortal Scripture differs from the Azure Lotus Immortal Scripture. The Great Dao practiced in this scripture is fierce and domineering. A single great sun can suppress the four seas and eight wastelands, burn demons and monsters, and advances with fierce and relentless force, possessing ultimate destructive power.
After Liu Changxu finished comprehending the two cultivation techniques, the Azure Lotus Immortal Scripture and the Great Sun Sea-Suppressing Immortal Scripture, he combined his understanding of the fundamental laws of space, time, and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) to continue deducing the new Red Lotus Immortal Scripture.
Before Liu Changxu, the fundamental laws of space—tearing, folding, shifting, and imprisoning—flowed and bloomed continuously.
He intended to integrate the fundamental laws of space into the Crimson Lotus Immortal Scripture, allowing the Crimson Lotus Immortal Fire, which possesses the power to burn the heavens and boil the seas, to break through its own limitations, travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant, and burn everything in all directions, achieving the ability to attack without distance and destroy enemies invisibly.
Then, the fundamental laws of time slowly permeated his surroundings. The power of the laws of time flow, the cycle of life and death, the reversal of time, and the ability to control speed began to merge into the Crimson Lotus Immortal Scripture, allowing the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire to transcend the shackles of mortal time. It could both burn away the years and decay the immortal body, and also solidify the origin and establish the eternal Dao, giving the technique a heaven-defying power to destroy time and the ability to survive.
Next comes the comprehension and integration of the fundamental laws of the Five Elements.
The power of the Wood element's fundamental law governs life, making the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire no longer a pure fire of destruction. Life is hidden within the fire; by burning away decay, new life can be born. During cultivation, it does not harm the body but instead tempers flesh, blood, and soul, ensuring endless vitality.
The perfected fire attribute fundamental law made the Red Lotus Karmic Fire even more domineering and pure, its temperature soaring several times over, capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea, possessing unparalleled power.
The fundamental law of metal, when infused with the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, imbues the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire with a killing edge, its flames piercing the air and shattering all defenses.
……
Countless insights and brilliant ideas intertwined, recombined, and fused wildly in his mind.
The shortcomings and weaknesses of the original Red Lotus Immortal Scripture were dismantled and eliminated one by one, and it was completely reshaped after incorporating new fundamental laws.
The pure vitality of the blue lotus, the world-suppressing majesty of the great sun, the unpredictable mystery of time and space, and the perfect balance of the five elements are all integrated into the new Red Lotus Immortal Scripture Dao Foundation.
Inside the secret chamber, a red lotus the size of a human head floated in the void. The red lotus was no longer the pure red of the past, but a red tinged with blue and blue containing golden light. Layers of flames rotated endlessly, implying the flow of the five elements and the rise and fall of time and space.
Within the heart of the Crimson Lotus, countless condensed Crimson Lotus Dao flowers slowly bloom, wither, and regenerate, in an endless cycle, their Daoist essence becoming ever more complete and vast.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Changxu suddenly opened his eyes, and two halos containing the five elements of time and space emanated from them.
Thus, the new Red Lotus Immortal Scripture has finally been deduced!
The new Crimson Lotus Immortal Scripture has broken free from the constraints of the original cultivation method, undergoing a complete transformation. It is no longer a simple method of killing, but a supreme technique that takes into account Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the cycle of time and space. It can purify evil and nourish the Dao body, burn the heavens and boil the seas to suppress powerful enemies, and traverse time and space to imprison all enemies. With the Five Elements perfectly balanced and Yin and Yang mutually generating each other, the path of cultivation is now without any flaws.
Liu Changxu raised his hand and waved it lightly. A seven-colored red lotus slowly bloomed at his fingertips. The flames were gentle and not hot. They seemed soft and weak, but they contained a terrifying divine power that could tear through space and time, corrode the years, and shatter all laws.
