Chapter 40: Agonizing Ordeal

  The effect of spiritual dual cultivation is more powerful than that of physical dual cultivation, because this dual cultivation can not only increase the spiritual energy in the body, but also allow the yuan Shen to grow together. However, spiritual dual cultivation is also a relatively dangerous type of dual cultivation. The pleasure produced by the combination of the two people's yuan Shen is not comparable to that of physical dual cultivation. Therefore, if the cultivator's willpower is low and their mind cannot remain clear and calm, they may become trapped in this state until their yuan Shen is exhausted and they die. That's why most people choose physical dual cultivation.

  He stretched out his slightly trembling hands, and Gu Yun carefully removed the restraints from Chen Ling'er's body one by one. Before long, a perfectly white and slender figure appeared before Gu Yun's eyes, with skin as smooth and lustrous as sheep fat, and her proud twin peaks quivering slightly with Chen Ling'er's unconscious head movements. Below her tiny waist was a pair of slender white legs, and the mysterious area in between was filled with endless temptation for Gu Yun.

  Ancient Cloud swallowed hard, his hands involuntarily reaching for Chen Ling'er's chest, but just as they were about to make contact, he suddenly jolted awake. He quickly withdrew his hands and cursed himself, wondering how he could be thinking of such things at this moment. Hurriedly helping Chen Ling'er up, his hands touched her soft, warm body, causing Ancient Cloud's mind to waver once more, almost losing control again. Collecting his thoughts, taking a few deep breaths, Ancient Cloud finally tore his gaze away from Chen Ling'er's perfect figure, closing his eyes and sitting behind her, his hands on her shoulders as the spiritual energy within him flowed out through his hands into Chen Ling'er's body.

  In just a short half minute, Chen Ling'er's body began to squirm involuntarily, her face flushed red, and her mouth emitted unconscious but still soul-stirring moans. Her body temperature also gradually rose. Another half minute passed, and Gu Yun opened his eyes, looking at Chen Ling'er who was now burning hot all over, with the moaning sounds growing louder. Gu Yun knew that the timing had matured. Earlier, he followed the instructions in the secret manual, using his internal spiritual energy to stimulate the sensitive areas of Chen Ling'er's body, achieving the effect of awakening her desires while she was still in a daze. It seemed to be very successful now.

  Gently, he laid Chen Ling'er on the warm jade bed, his hands parting her long, snow-white legs. The area was already a crystal-clear paradise. Gu Yun swallowed hard, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy as hot air continuously spewed out of his nostrils, accompanied by a stream of bright red nasal blood. It was too tempting for someone who had never experienced intimacy before. Fortunately, Gu Yun's willpower was relatively firm, and he kept thinking that saving her was the priority. His eyes reluctantly moved away from the alluring sight, filled with a hint of reluctance. After taking a few deep breaths, he forcefully circulated the calming technique from the dual cultivation secret manual, and only then did Gu Yun feel slightly better.

  He wiped away the nosebleed that had flowed out with his hand, and Gu Yun quickly took off his clothes, slowly and gently inserting his hard-as-iron, scorching-hot erection into Chen Ling'er's crystal-like secret place. In an instant, Gu Yun felt himself enter a warm, smooth realm, and the exceptionally wonderful feeling made him involuntarily moan. He now wanted to abandon all restraint and indulge in this wonderful feeling. Therefore, he didn't dare make any movements, fearing that he would lose control and sink into that wonderful feeling, which would put Chen Ling'er in danger. However, the wonderful feeling still tightly enveloped Gu Yun, who desperately circulated the "Quiet Mind" technique, with beads of sweat continuously dripping from his forehead. This feeling of being so close yet having to endure was truly not ordinary pain, it could be said that it was torture. Finally, after circulating the technique for a full half minute, Gu Yun stabilized, and his mind became clear and empty. It had to be said that the techniques his master had given him were indeed extraordinary, as others would have probably succumbed to desire by now, but Gu Yun was still able to use the technique to retreat from the edge of explosive desire.

  Regaining his composure, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and with a gentle push, broke through the last layer of obstruction in front of him. He entered Chen Ling'er's body, and that exceptionally wonderful feeling grew even stronger. Chen Ling'er's body trembled slightly at this moment, her mouth letting out a sob-like whimper, her hands clenched into fists. Although she was currently in a daze, her physical sensations were still present. Gu Yun almost lost control of his mind again at the sound of her whimper, but managed to regain composure with great effort. Only now did Gu Yun feel slightly relieved, maintaining his current posture and guarding his mind. The spiritual energy within him circulated according to the secret techniques in the dual cultivation manual, circulating through his body for a full cycle before entering Chen Ling'er's body from their joined place. As soon as he entered, he was met with resistance from a surge of spiritual energy - this was the spiritual energy stored within that spirit root. Gu Yun's intrusion made it feel threatened, so it instinctively tried to block the invading spiritual energy.

  But how could a spiritual species that relies solely on instinct compare to Gu Yun, especially when Gu Yun's Rejuvenating Qi entered Chen Ling'er's body this time? On the one hand, it was because the other spiritual powers in his body were too destructive, and on the other hand, he was afraid that competing with spiritual powers in Chen Ling'er's body would harm her. Therefore, silently devouring the opponent was undoubtedly the best choice. In fact, Gu Yun's choice proved to be correct, as the resisting spiritual power retreated step by step under the tyrannical devouring of his Rejuvenating Qi. After circulating in Chen Ling'er's body for a week, this spiritual power had already been devoured completely. Gu Yun's Rejuvenating Qi then arrived at Chen Ling'er's Dantian, and the Golden Elixir in her Dantian was once again controlled by the spiritual species and returned to its frozen state.

  However, Gu Yun did not immediately take action against it. Instead, he used his own Rejuvenating True Qi to envelop Chen Ling'er's Dantian, preventing the Spiritual Seed from doing anything rash. Meanwhile, his Primordial Spirit charged directly into Chen Ling'er's Spiritual Awareness Sea.

  In the blink of an eye, Gu Yun entered Chen Ling'er's spiritual sea for the first time. Compared to his own spiritual sea, Chen Ling'er's was much inferior, with only a spherical space about one foot in diameter being clear, while the rest was shrouded in a hazy white mist. Currently, within this space, Chen Ling'er's soul was being chased by an ill-defined shadow emitting a cold aura, and every time they came into contact, the shadow would absorb some of Chen Ling'er's spiritual energy, making her already somewhat ethereal soul even more unreal. Gu Yun quickly rushed forward, embracing Chen Ling'er's increasingly unreal soul and fleeing towards his own spiritual sea. The shadow behind him immediately followed, driven solely by instinct to devour Chen Ling'er's soul, disregarding everything else; otherwise, upon seeing Gu Yun's far superior spiritual energy, it should have been thinking of escaping instead.

  Gǔ yún turned his head to glance at the relentless Lingzhong, a cold smile floating on the corner of his mouth. As long as he entered his own spiritual sea, his fate would be sealed and he would be refined. In an instant, Gǔ yún had brought Chén Líng'ér's soul to his spiritual sea. Chén Líng'ér's eyes were curiously sizing up this strange place. Because she hadn't cultivated her primordial spirit, she couldn't enter her own spiritual sea. Everything that happened earlier was only visible to Gǔ yún, while Chén Líng'ér's soul was relying on instinct to move around, and had only a vague impression of what was happening.

  At this time, the other Ling also followed, and as soon as he saw Chen Ling'er's soul being held by Gu Yun, a silent roar came from his mouth, and he rushed over immediately. Chen Ling'er also trembled all over when she saw that Ling, and she shrank into Gu Yun's arms with force. Seeing Chen Ling'er's fearful appearance, Gu Yun emitted a strong killing aura all over her body. These two Lings who had tortured the two women for more than ten years should be dealt with today.

  Perhaps it was the killing intent of Gu Yun that made the spirit species stop in its tracks, still over three meters away from Gu Yun. It tilted its head slightly to one side, as if thinking about something, but only for a brief moment. Then, with determination, it charged towards Gu Yun again. However, before it could take two steps, it found itself unable to move. At that instant, it was being grasped by a large hand formed from Gu Yun's yuan Shen energy, completely devoid of any ability to resist. It was only then that the spirit species felt threatened. Although its blurry face did not reveal any expression, its frantic struggles betrayed the fear in its heart. However, this fear did not diminish Gu Yun's killing intent. Gu Yun's yuan Shen energy surged out wildly, instantly crushing the spirit species' consciousness and leaving behind a ball of pure yuan Shen energy that was then refined by Gu Yun and merged into Chen Ling'er's soul. After absorbing this ball of yuan Shen energy, Chen Ling'er's illusory figure became more solid. Just as Gu Yun crushed the spirit species' consciousness and refined its yuan Shen energy, the ice encasing Chen Ling'er's golden elixir suddenly exploded, transforming into a massive surge of yin cold spiritual energy that violently churned within Chen Ling'er's dantian.
