CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: ECSTASY

Chen Guan tried not to listen or remember the scriptures recited by the Aphang Woman, but he couldn’t help it.

The scriptures flowing from the lips of the Aphang Woman seemed like the whispers of a devil, irresistibly attracting him. No matter how much he resisted, every word and sentence was etched into his mind.

As his brain absorbed the scriptures’ content, the Primordial Energy within his body began circulating automatically, influencing his body to adopt various postures.

These movements were strange and bizarre, mostly tasks that normal people wouldn’t usually do, somewhat akin to yoga.

Chen Guan performed various strange actions on the silk band, and the scene felt inexplicably shameful.

"This is a Dual Cultivation Technique!" After remembering a large amount of content, Chen Guan suddenly found that the scripture’s content was somewhat similar to a Dual Cultivation Technique he had seen in the crevice, surely a method of Dual Cultivation, but distinctly different from the Dual Cultivation Technique on the stone wall in the crevice.

The Dual Cultivation Technique on the stone wall was upright and orthodox, a traditional cultivation technique where Yin and Yang dual cultivation nurtured each other.

However, the scriptures passed by the Aphang Woman were a technique of harming others to benefit oneself, the Yin Yang Replenishment Skill, extremely treacherous and evil.

As the scripture’s content increased, Chen Guan already understood what the Aphang Woman intended to do.

This sinister Dual Cultivation Technique seemed seemingly beneficial and harmless to Chen Guan, allowing one to harm others and benefit oneself, quickly raising one’s Level and Primordial Energy.

But in reality, Chen Guan was only creating a bridal dress for the Aphang Woman. The Primordial Energy he absorbed would ultimately be siphoned by her; she was the final beneficiary.

In the end, Chen Guan was merely a Furnace for the Aphang Woman to extract True Essence from.

"This is the Yin Yang Replenishment Skill. Who exactly are you?" Chen Guan gritted his teeth and asked.

The Aphang Woman giggled: "You do have some knowledge, but this is not the Yin Yang Replenishment Skill. Instead, it’s the supreme ’Joyful Technique’ that can elevate one to ultimate bliss."

At this point, the Aphang Woman seemed unconcerned, smiling as she continued: "Once you master the Joyful Technique, you’ll naturally experience its benefits. From then on, even if I don’t let you practice, you will still pursue it relentlessly, with endless joy."

"Ultimately, you will reap everything." Chen Guan gritted his teeth and said.

The Aphang Woman, smiling serenely, walked through the air to stand before Chen Guan, lifting his chin with her finger and forcing his head up, saying with a faint smile: "That depends on your performance. If you amuse this concubine, you’ll be rewarded with some benefits, ensuring your efforts aren’t in vain."

"Who exactly are you?" Chen Guan stared at her and asked.

"I am Ming Fei, your sole master from this moment onward," said Ming Fei, lowering her jade-like head and bringing her red lips to Chen Guan’s.

Strands of silk crisscrossed, weaving into a birdcage-like space in the air, trapping the two bodies inside.

Chen Guan felt as if he was poisoned, his Primordial Energy uncontrollably surging toward Ming Fei.

Chen Guan knew he was at a life-and-death crossroads. If he completed the final phase of the Joyful Technique, he would become Ming Fei’s Furnace and slave, further becoming a despicable playboy scorned by the world, the lowest type of person.

While Chen Xinghe was a demon lord, at least some regarded him as a hero of his generation.

If he truly became such a vile figure who only harmed women, Chen Guan would feel he had truly become worthless scum.

Moreover, doing such a lowly thing only to serve as a bridal dress in the end was absolutely unacceptable.

"What to do?" Thoughts raced through Chen Guan’s mind until he resolutely decided to forcibly activate the Dual Cultivation Technique from the stone wall.

He now had no resistance. He could only hope the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, also a Dual Cultivation Technique, could disrupt the Joyful Technique. Even at his own expense, he could not let Ming Fei succeed.

The Dual Cultivation Technique somewhat resembled the Joyful Technique, yet the two were fundamentally different, one upright and the other evil. When Chen Guan forcibly activated the Dual Cultivation Technique, it indeed succeeded, causing the Primordial Energy in his body to circulate in a manner similar yet subtly different from that of the Joyful Technique.

Ming Fei needed to complete the final segment of the Joyful Technique with Chen Guan, reducing him, who had practiced the Joyful Scripture, to her Furnace.

But halfway through, she sensed something was wrong. Originally, she should have absorbed all the True Essence from Chen Guan’s body, granting it to herself at will, finally bestowing some upon Chen Guan.

But now it was different. Instead of drawing Chen Guan’s True Essence, her own True Essence was flowing toward Chen Guan.

Ming Fei realized something was amiss and attempted to stop it, but it was too late. Her True Essence was flowing faster and faster, rushing into Chen Guan’s body.

"Emperor’s Scripture... impossible... the Emperor’s Scripture left by Emperor Ancestor has been erased by me... how could you possibly possess this scripture..." Ming Fei was horrified.

"The ’Afang Scripture’ on the island on the fifteenth of July was fake, all laid out by you, yet there truly exists a Cultivation Technique created by the Emperor Ancestor?" Chen Guan suddenly understood.

"What Cultivation Technique creation, what Emperor Ancestor is but garbage plagiarizing others’ ideas," Ming Fei’s eyes flashed determinedly: "Today, even if all my Spirit God is destroyed, I won’t let you exist in this world."

Ming Fei’s body glowed brilliantly, forcibly separating from Chen Guan. Countless strands of silk wrapped around Chen Guan’s body, tightening ever more to the point of crushing him. His bones creaked and cracked, though it was unclear how many were broken.

A strand of blood also trickled from the corner of Ming Fei’s mouth. She herself was bound, needing a Furnace as a foundation to stabilize her body.

Currently, she was much like a Petified Secret Spirit, previously reliant on the Great Black Celestial Demon God Statue for survival but also suppressed and confined by it.

Now, having shattered the Great Black Celestial Demon God Statue, she had nothing to depend on, leaving only the Joyful Technique to transform Chen Guan into her Furnace.

Now that the Joyful Technique had failed, in her current state, wandering between heaven and earth, she endured tremendous damage every second she lived, pain beyond what many cuts and gashes could describe.

At this desperate time, there was no other choice but to kill Chen Guan and seek another Furnace, the only escape.

"What of the Emperor Ancestor, a mere ruined monarch, still toyed by this concubine within her grasp..." Ming Fei’s heart seethed with anger, her mouth spewing vitriol as she tugged on the silk band, intending to strangle Chen Guan.

Rip!

Ming Fei suddenly felt a light sensation in her hand, seeing the silk band entwining Chen Guan snap piece by piece, scattering into fragments on the ground.

Chen Guan’s body fell to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth in continuous coughs, each expelling considerable blood.

"Eternal Reflection!" Ming Fei looked at Chen Guan, her expression changed. Chen Guan’s shadow seemed to come alive, slowly rising, standing before him, seemingly watching Ming Fei.
