CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 34: EASTERN PHOENIX YUNXI, LUO FENG’S REQUEST (PART 2)_1

"The Three Lives Sutra, truly a Dao-level Skill, is indeed heaven-defying!"

Hongmeng examined his Past Body; his main consciousness could switch between the two bodies at will, with no discernible difference between them. What was even more surprising was that his Past Body could cultivate the Three Lives Sutra, with no disparity whatsoever from Hongmeng’s own cultivation. This was tantamount to Hongmeng finding himself a laborer; in the future, all the tiresome and dirty work would be assigned to his avatar, while he merely needed to bask in enjoyment. Of course, only the Current Body and Future Body avatars could cultivate the Three Lives Sutra from an existing avatar. It wasn’t possible to stack them infinitely.

I wonder if the effects would double if my main body and an avatar cultivated at the same time?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Hongmeng’s mind. He instructed his Past Body avatar to cultivate the Current Body, while his main body cultivated the Future Body.

A minute later, both the Current Body and Future Body avatars were successfully cultivated simultaneously. Looking at the three avatars—Past, Current, and Future Bodies—before him, Hongmeng’s eyes filled with astonishment. It really was possible to cultivate them simultaneously. Having three avatars meant that his cultivation speed had once again increased threefold. Terrifyingly potent.

This is a good method to enhance strength and rapidly increase cultivation level. It seems I need to find some tasks for the Heroic Spirits in God’s kingdom, so I can pass the complete Three Lives Sutra to them sooner! Hongmeng mused to himself. He could, of course, impart it to them directly. But without rules, there would be no order. From the outset, he had thoroughly implemented the principle that one should not gain without labor, nor receive rewards without merit. If he truly wanted to gift a Heroic Spirit a treasure or Cultivation Technique, he would assign them a task first, then follow it up with the reward. At the very least, he could allow the other party to serve in his bed before bestowing a reward.

There are quite a few Heroic Spirits in God’s kingdom, but their insight and talents differ; some cultivate quickly, others slowly. I’ll arrange for the quick learners first—the slower ones are not urgent... Hongmeng’s thoughts were swift, and a plan instantly formed in his mind. For the slow-cultivating Heroic Spirits, even passing on the cultivation method for the Current Body to them would be futile.

Eh, the Cruel Female Emperor has achieved initial success! As expected of the most stunningly talented Empress from the Covering The Sky World throughout the ages, her insight is extraordinary!

It seems the Empress will be the first Heroic Spirit to cultivate her Past Body.

Going by her cultivation speed, it will probably take one week!

As soon as Hongmeng had this thought, the condition of all the Heroic Spirits in God’s kingdom became clear to him. After the Cruel Female Emperor, Divine King Gouri was the fastest cultivator. A higher cultivation level was also an advantage. Next in line were the Heroic Spirits of the Divine Emperor Realm: Xin Yuehu, Xin Yuekui, Angel Sage Sovereign, Bu Wen Bu Wen, Li Fuyan Luo, North Star Master, and Virtual Flying Rainbow.

Retracting his Divine Sense, Hongmeng couldn’t help but think of the Cruel Female Emperor. In one week, there would be two Cruel Female Emperors. Wouldn’t that mean double the pleasure?

Hmm? Meng Yao and Red Rosy Clouds are here!

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Hongmeng’s figure vanished from his spot, reappearing inside a purple bamboo cottage. This was the Yaochi Saintess Land of Zhongzhou. Hongmeng, Nangong Mengyao, and the others had been residing here since arriving in the Central Province.

He opened the Formation. Nangong Mengyao and Ji Hongxia approached, arm in arm.

Nangong Mengyao’s cultivation had already recovered to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm. She was like an Immortal in white, with an unparalleled visage and stunning beauty. Her black hair danced and her robes billowed, giving her an air of standing aloof from the world. Her figure was full and voluptuous, her skin fair and lustrous. A radiant aura enveloped her, exuding a world-toppling charm capable of captivating all beings.

Ji Hongxia possessed a graceful and curvaceous body, exuding a fiery allure and bewitching charm.

The temperaments of the two were polar opposites. One was like an Immortal from the Moon Palace: refined and ethereal, seemingly untouched by the mortal world. The other resembled a Witch or a Demon: enchantingly seductive, a peerless beauty.

"Brother Hongmeng!" Nangong Mengyao’s call made Ji Hongxia swallow the words she was about to say, her eyes filled with disbelief. Although Nangong Mengyao used to call Hongmeng that, it was before she had recovered her memories as the Saint Master of the Jade Pool. Now, Nangong Mengyao had long since regained her memories, and her every gesture carried the dignified grace of the Saint Master of the Jade Pool, her aura imposing. Yet, she still called him Brother Hongmeng...

Looks like this little scoundrel has managed to ’convince’ the Saint Master too! Ji Hongxia thought of Hongmeng’s particular talents, and her body suddenly felt a little weak. Her beautiful legs clamped together tightly, and she found herself unsure how to address Hongmeng. Since Nangong Mengyao called him Brother Hongmeng, it seemed inappropriate for her to call him "little scoundrel" or "little brother."

"Are we going to the demon-slaying conference?" Hongmeng reached out and pulled both Nangong Mengyao and Ji Hongxia into his embrace. The fifteenth of August was not far off; calculating the time, it was indeed about time to set out.

"Yes. It will take one day to reach the Eternal Divine City from here, so we plan to depart tomorrow!" Nangong Mengyao said. Held in Hongmeng’s embrace, especially with Ji Hongxia present, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Ji Hongxia, on the other hand, didn’t dare to look Nangong Mengyao in the eye, as if she had a guilty conscience.

"Alright, then let’s rest well tonight!" Hongmeng nibbled her crystalline earlobe, his hot breath caressing Nangong Mengyao’s fair, tender cheek, causing two blushes to instantly bloom there.

"I still have matters to attend to. Let Red Rosy Clouds accompany you!" Nangong Mengyao pushed against Hongmeng’s chest with her jade-like hands, somewhat flustered, her heart pounding. Although she had recovered the memories of the Saint Master of the Jade Pool, she had never experienced such a situation.

"I missed you!" Hongmeng bit her crystalline earlobe again and, without giving them a chance to speak, hoisted one onto each shoulder.

"You little scoundrel, put me down!"

"Don’t..."

With the sound of silk dresses tearing, the entire pavilion was filled with a peculiar atmosphere.

Shadows flickered.

The songs of phoenixes echoed.

...

「The next morning dawned.」
