I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

At the mountainside, clouds and mist swirl, resembling a giant white ribbon, exuding a mysterious and chilly aura.

Hidden in a valley, there is a hot spring.

Like a piece of warm, beautiful jade, it exudes steaming heat in this icy and snowy world.

The rising heat mingled with the surrounding icy air, creating a dreamlike and fantastical scene.

Shen Ming first washed away the blood and grime from his body with ice and snow, then soaked in the hot spring while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

This day was even more tiring than the day of the Imperial Prince's Ceremony.

The fact that he almost died did not frighten him; on the contrary, it excited him, and a deep desire was revealed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard light footsteps approaching, and he was startled, looking up in surprise.

Li Miaozhen walked gracefully towards us, like a fairy stepping out of a painting.

Her figure was graceful, and every step seemed to have a rhythm. Her stunningly beautiful face also had a kind of otherworldly and aloof beauty.

Her skin was like the finest mutton fat jade, delicate and smooth, without a single blemish.

Her cheeks, slightly flushed with pink, resembled budding flowers on branches in early spring, exuding a delicate and shy beauty.

She wasn't wearing that red dress, but she was still wearing close-fitting clothing, which was barely visible.

Shen Ming was even more nervous than when facing the Ice Spirit Clan army, and said uncertainly, "Shall I go over the mountain and heat up another hot spring for you?"

This hot spring was created by him using the Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl.

Li Miaozhen glanced at him with a hint of resentment, then arched her beautiful feet and stepped slowly into the hot spring, her long, cascading hair spreading out in the water.

He hadn't taken off his clothes. Shen Ming was relieved, but also a little disappointed.

Amidst the rising steam, the two sat at opposite ends, facing each other with unspoken words in their eyes, yet neither uttered a sound.

Why is the water so hot all of a sudden? Time ticked by, and Shen Ming grew increasingly restless.

Li Miaozhen's bright eyes revealed a hint of cunning; it was rare to see Shen Ming so flustered.

"that……"

Finally, just as Shen Ming was about to say something, Li Miaozhen suddenly stood up, said nothing, and left directly into the Daluo Palace.

The water churned, just like Shen Ming's restless heart.

He put on his clothes and entered the Daluo Palace, where he was taken aback.

In the Great Luo Domain, a blue lotus stands out, like a sacred object between heaven and earth.

This blue lotus was enormous, its petals unfolding layer by layer, radiating a soft and holy light.

The lotus platform is located in the very center of the blue lotus, and is extremely spacious, resembling a sacred throne.

The surface of the lotus platform is flat and smooth, as if wisps of spiritual energy are swirling around it.

Shen Ming's pupils suddenly contracted. Li Miaozhen sat on the lotus platform, a bud about to bloom, infinitely shy.

"Daozi, would you like to cultivate the 'Azure Lotus Twin Life Technique' with me?"

Li Miaozhen bit her lip, her heart pounding. She had never done anything like this before, but there was nothing she could do. Facing a blockhead like Shen Ming, if she didn't take the initiative, she would never be able to break through that barrier.

Even if Shen Ming was completely oblivious to romance, he knew there was no need for further words at this moment, and flew into the lotus platform.

"Daozi..."

Like a piece of mysterious ice melting, Li Miaozhen's eyes were glazed over.

This blue lotus is a manifestation of the "Blue Lotus Twin Technique". Shen Ming once refined the seed of the Pure World Blue Lotus. As soon as others entered, the blue light blazed brightly.

Shen Ming stepped forward and embraced the beauty.

However, the lotus platform was now intertwined with two beams of light, like two surging celestial rivers.

A power shone with a brilliant gold color, like the light of the blazing sun, dazzling and intense.

The other force is a deep, dark blue, like a tranquil deep sea, mysterious and vast.

Shen Ming discovered that the gold color represented himself, and whenever he tried to get close, it would suppress the dark blue color, keeping him and Li Miaozhen at a distance.

Shen Ming frantically tried for a while, but still couldn't get past it.

puff!

Li Miaozhen smiled and said, "Daozi, don't be impatient. The 'Azure Lotus Twin Life Technique' is not a low-level technique like 'absorbing yin to supplement yang.' Instead, it represents two pure forces, with two people on the lotus platform, cultivating and crossing the river together, with one heart and one mind."

"what."

Shen Ming was embarrassed, so it wasn't the kind of dual cultivation he had imagined.

Li Miaozhen laughed even more happily and said, "When our realms are the same and we are in the same boat, we can achieve unity of yin and yang."

So, he still desires the kind of dual cultivation.

So now this is...

Shen Ming's heart skipped a beat, his gaze carrying a hint of uncertainty.

“In the Daoist sect, only Daoist couples can cultivate the Twin Life Technique.” Li Miaozhen lowered her head, her neck flushed red.

Now it's time to define the relationship between the two of you!

Li Miaozhen was in her throat, eagerly awaiting Shen Ming's answer, or rather, his next address to her.

“Miaozhen,” Shen Ming said.

Li Miaozhen was overjoyed; what she feared most was hearing the name "Miss Li."

She looked up and met Shen Ming's sincere and ardent gaze; a thousand words were left unsaid.

The two of them seriously began cultivating the "Azure Lotus Twin Technique" on the lotus platform.

This is an auxiliary technique with endless uses. Shen Ming was immersed in it, and the sword intent that had just surged gradually became clear, allowing him to touch the threshold of the Heavenly Sword.

"He really is a cultivation fanatic."

Seeing Shen Ming so quickly clear his mind and enter a meditative state, Li Miaozhen pouted and sighed, "As expected of his intuition."

"Um, just out of curiosity, Miaozhen, what's your current cultivation level?"

Suddenly, Shen Ming asked a question.

Only when two people are in the same state of mind can they achieve harmony between yin and yang.

"Hmph, I won't tell you," Li Miaozhen said sweetly.

After a long time, both of them mastered the Twin Life Technique and could feel the distance between them shrinking infinitely.

Li Miaozhen's red lips moved slightly. She wanted to tell Shen Ming that once they mastered the Twin Life Technique, the two of them would be forever united in heart and soul. If one of them were to become disloyal or estranged, the other would be able to sense it.

Moreover, before the union of Yin and Yang, one must remain chaste, regardless of gender, otherwise the Twin Life Technique will fail.

But after thinking about it, I realized there was no need to say it aloud.

If Daozi were to leave her that day, she would silently offer her blessings... what a load of rubbish!

Li Miaozhen raised her eyebrows, wanting to see who could snatch it from her!

Qinglian disappeared, and the two of them nestled together in the bamboo grove courtyard.

"Daozi...wuwu."

Just as Li Miaozhen was about to say something, her cherry-like mouth was covered. She let out a few soft moans, her pupils dilated, and she instinctively resisted for a few moments before her body went limp.

After a long time, the two separated.

"This is to promote the Twin Life Technique." Shen Ming revealed a row of white teeth, smiling smugly.

Li Miaozhen was too shy to speak and snuggled together with him.

After a long while, Li Miaozhen finally spoke, "I wish things could stay like this forever."

"Ok?"

Shen Ming frowned, sensing that these words implied a sense of parting.

“This world cannot contain an emperor; I feel the rejection of the Heavenly Dao,” Li Miaozhen said.

In the nine-layered world, treasures with miraculous effects in the lower realm become useless in the upper realm, such as the Eternal Stone.

Similarly, powerful beings from the upper realm are not allowed to appear in the lower realm.

Just as Shen Ming knew, the way of balance exists among all things.

The lower three realms can only accommodate combat power below the Emperor level.
