Chapter 1165: Four Sect Masters

"Why did you bring me here, Elder Zhang?" Fang Roulan asked with a puzzled look when they arrived at the Celestial Lake.

"I will help you control your Yin Qi while dual-soul cultivating, so you won’t harm your partners again." Zhang Fei [5] pulled Fang Roulan onto the lake, where the two sat facing each other, their bodies floating just above the water’s surface. "Release your soul."

Fang Roulan was dumbfounded as soon as Zhang Fei [5] released his soul, mainly because of the giant white lotus inside. After reaching the divine soul level, his soul was no longer small and was several times bigger than hers. "How did your white lotus become this big, Elder Zhang?"

"Before I met Qiu’er, I already had more than a hundred white lotuses, and she merged them into one." Fang Roulan stared at Zhang Fei [5] in a daze, especially since each lotus symbolized the bond with his partner. "You’re right, I have over a hundred wives, and their number will probably still increase in the future. Release your soul and absorb as much Yin Qi from this lake as you can, and then channel it all into my body and soul without restraint."

"What!?" Fang Roulan exclaimed in shock. "Elder Zhang, I am having difficulty controlling my Yin Qi, and your soul will—"

"It’s okay." Fang Roulan hesitated to do that, forcing Zhang Fei [5] to explain to her. "Another man might get injured if he gets too much of your Yin Qi and it gets out of control, but I’m used to dual-soul cultivating with several of my wives at once, and some of them have excessive Yin Qi."

"Alright." Fang Roulan finally agreed and released her soul.

Zhang Fei [5] grabbed Fang Roulan’s hand, and his soul was the same as hers. "Start it, Elder Roulan."

"Yes." Fang Roulan closed her eyes and did so, but her Yin Qi went out of control as soon as she channeled it into Zhang Fei [5]’s body and soul. She tried to pull it back, but she suddenly sensed his Yang Qi flow into her body and soul, forcing her to abandon her intention.

With the help of Zhang Fei [5]’s Yang Qi, Fang Roulan’s Yin Qi gradually became more controllable, which confused and excited her. She absorbed the Yin Yi from the lake more quickly and channeled it into his body and soul at an increasing rate.

Sometime later, Fang Roulan’s Yin Qi had completely stabilized, allowing their Yang and Yin Qi to flow into each other with stable circulation. Once they reached balance, the Yin-Yang diagram began to appear beneath them, followed by white and black light shooting up into the sky, forming two pillars.

"Push your black lotus out of your soul." Zhang Fei [5] spoke as he pushed his white lotus out of his soul.

Fang Roulan pushed her black lotus out of her soul, but Zhang Fei [5]’s white lotus quickly enveloped it. In a few moments, the two fully merged and turned into a Yin-Yang lotus, causing the Yin-Yang diagram and pillars to light up even brighter.

Qing Qiu’er, who was previously sleeping due to exhaustion, suddenly appeared in the Celestial Lake. She smiled faintly when she noticed that Fang Roulan’s Yin Qi was fully stable. She floated behind Zhang Fei [5], sat there, and released her soul. ’Can I join you two?’

’Do it.’ Unlike Fang Roulan, who was completely focused on their dual-soul cultivating, Zhang Fei [5] was totally relaxed thanks to his habit of doing it with several of his wives at once.

Qing Qiu’er touched Zhang Fei [5]’s back, and her soul touched his. She absorbed the Yin Qi in the pool and channeled it to the two of them, which quickly blended with Fang Roulan’s Yin Qi.

Qing Qiu’er then pushed her black lotus out of her soul and merged it with Zhang Fei [5]’s white lotus, which made the Yin-Yang Diagram and pillars bigger and brighter.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman stood side by side on a balcony with their gazes focused on the black and white pillars that towered into the sky from the floating plateau. "Where did those two pillars come from, Chi Hongchen? Did Qing Qiu’er do something in her sect? Why have I never seen them before?"

The middle-aged woman has long, straight silver-gray hair with a streak of red running through the front, tied back neatly with a red band. Her face was well-defined with straight brows, large eyes, a small nose, and red lips. Her figure was slender, with a modest chest that matched her refined appearance. She wore layered robes in teal, white, and black tones.

The middle-aged man had long, dark hair and a trimmed beard. He wore a black robe with sun and moon accents. His posture was tall and a bit muscular, and his expression was overly serious as he looked in that direction. "I don’t know how Qing Qiu’er managed to do that, Guang Yue. However, those two pillars represent Yin-Yang, and she wouldn’t have been able to form them without a man’s help, which means she’s found her partner."

"Wouldn’t that make it even more difficult for us to reclaim the floating plateau from them, Hongchen?" Guang Yue looked at him. "Qing Qiu’er is already too strong with her Forbidden Lotus Codex, and she will be even stronger if she gets a partner."

Chi Hongchen and Guang Yue were the Sect Masters of the Sun Moon Sect, which was the strongest dual cultivation sect in the Twin Flames Domain, and the former owners of the floating plateau.

Chi Hongchen nodded at her. "You’re right about that, Yue. Actually, I’ve sent my distant nephew and niece to her sect to get the Forbidden Lotus Code, but unfortunately, they haven’t made it into the Core Disciples. Moreover, she didn’t teach that technique to the core disciples; instead, she only taught it to ten special disciples, so our chances of getting that technique are slim."

"The only way we can obtain that technique is through her ten special disciples, so—"

"No." Chi Hongchen cut off Guang Yue’s idea straight away. "Naturally, I have the same idea as you, but you have to remember that those ten people are not ordinary disciples, and their backgrounds are too strong even for us. If their clan finds out we did something to them, their ancestors will come here to attack us, and we won’t be able to handle them all."

"Sect Masters." Chi Hongchen and Guang Yue turned to the young man who had just arrived. "Some of our disciples are in Blossom City right now, and they heard that the Moonlit Passion Temple is rebuilding their sect. According to the news, Qing Qiu’er is going to transform her sect into a universal one, and they have already recruited many people to join them. Additionally, our disciples also heard about a new elder of the sect named Zhang Fei [5], but I find it strange because he is still in his forties, and his cultivation is in the 1-Sun Celestial Lord Realm."

"An elder in his early forties with a cultivation at the 1-Sun Celestial Lord Realm?" Both Chi Hongchen and Guang Yue were shocked to hear that.

Guang Yue turned to Chi Hongchen. "Has Qing Qiu’er gone crazy? Why did she appoint such a young and weak young man as an elder? Isn’t she afraid that the other elders will turn against her? Moreover, all the sects in this domain are dual cultivation sects, but she suddenly decided to change her sect to a universal one."

"I don’t have any idea about that." Chi Hongchen then looked at the two pillars in the distant sky. "If my guess is correct, that young elder is Qing Qiu’er’s new partner, and those two pillars are proof of that."

"Hmm?" Guang Yue also looked at the pillar. "How about we visit the Moonlit Passion Temple now to find out the truth of the news in person?"

Chi Hongchen nodded in agreement. "Let’s go there."

In another sect, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman dual cultivated on a bed while listening to a young woman, who reported several things to them, including news about Zhang Fei [5].

Before long, the two of them ended their dual cultivation session, and the middle-aged man immediately sat on the side of the bed, looking at the young woman. He has long black hair tied up in a topknot. He was quite handsome despite his age, and his muscular torso revealed muscles protruding from beneath his skin. "Are you sure about the news, Ru Xian?"

"Sect Master Ming Tianhe, I got the news from our disciple who was shopping in the Blossom City." Ru Xian then pointed towards the window. "If my guess is correct, Sect Master Qing and the new elder produced those two pillars."

Ming Tianhe, the sect master of the Blazing Union Sect, immediately moved towards the window. He looked at the location of the Moonlit Passion Sect. "Hmm? Yin-Yang Pillars, huh? Has Qing Qiu’er really found her partner?"

"Are you jealous, Tianhe?" The middle-aged woman asked with a seductive voice as she walked toward him.

The middle-aged woman has long, straight black hair tied into a high ponytail, with several strands left loose to frame her face. Her expression was sharp and striking, with thick eyebrows, red-tinted eyes, a straight nose, and red lips. Her figure was tall and slim yet athletic, with a well-toned build.
