Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 501 Triumph

"Oh my, if it isn\'t my student"

A smile played on her lips as Lian Zhiqiu turned to look at her.

"Teacher..."

The latter was slightly surprised but then her expression eased as she smiled back.

Madam Liang came looking for Wu Long, but seeing her student couldn\'t walk by without at least saying hello. However, as she sensed an aura of a Mortal Transcendence Realm from Lian Zhiqiu, her eyes widened with light shock.

"You..."

"Haha, Teacher is quick to notice. Though I know that I haven\'t caught up with you, so don\'t expect your cocky student to brag about just yet"

Lian Zhiqiu\'s eyes glimmered as her smile became wider.

"...!"

Liang Yuhan experienced an even greater shock as she recognized the implications of Lian Zhiqiu\'s advancement along with her knowing her own true cultivation.

There was also the fact she was seemingly in the process of mingling among Wu Long\'s women.

And while she might have misunderstood that for her talking with her disciples, Hua Ziyan and Ye Ling before, now it took on a completely different meaning.

Then there was her overall impression.

Lian Zhiqiu always exuded a mature charm despite being a maiden, something she learned from Madam Liang, but now there appeared depth to it that wasn\'t there before.

\'Hah, this little perverted girl...\'

Madam Liang narrowed her eyes as she felt that subtle but significant change, seemingly too stunned to speak while Lian Zhiqiu delightedly smiled.

Meanwhile, Wu Long went through the open corridor connecting the main building he and his ladies lived in with a connected one, approaching a sealed room Luo Mingyu was in.

"Wu Long!"

The seal on the room was undone even before he arrived as the doors opened and the petite beauty leaped into his arms with a joyous cry.

He caught her and wrapped his hands around her slim waist while she pressed her lips into his.

"I missed you"

"Haha, that should be my line"

He chuckled to the words she spoke right after their kiss ended, and her already rosy cheeks became more colorful.

"I... might have been in seclusion a bit too long..."

"Hahaha, I\'m just joking, Mingyu.

You\'ve worked hard. And congratulations on your breakthrough"

Wu Long laughed at the bashful, slightly guilty look appearing in the beauty\'s eyes, soothing her by patting her head, stroking the silky long jet-black hair.

Even though he could feel it before through their bond, and could see it as he checked up on her earlier, he still shook his head in amazement as he felt the aura of a Core Reformation Realm cultivator from her.

"Hehe, it took me a while to follow your instructions upon breakthrough, but the Spiritual Qi got richer not long ago and I was able to go through all the steps"

"Mm, you did great, Mingyu"

The slightly shy yet a little proud look in her eyes brought a tender smile to his face.

"Since you made such a great breakthrough..."

He then started with a little bit of uncertainty, ready to console her, but was slightly surprised upon seeing a joyous look in her eyes.

"Mm, I comprehended the essence of my Dao Intent... or should I say... stumbled upon it?

It is contradictory but it is more of a sensation than actual comprehension or understanding... I don\'t really know how to describe or explain it accurately.

Here, I\'ll show you..."

She first smiled and then ponderingly explained, as if trying to process it as she spoke.

Then her purple eyes glowed as her figure was instantly surrounded by a pale halo of purple Spiritual Qi, the ends of her long black hair slightly rising.

Black and purple flames started swirling in her eyes as an image of a phoenix spreading its wings vaguely appeared in them.

And then a formless, invisible and incorporeal ripple spread from her, making the world around them in the radius of around two meters slightly different, though it was not exactly evident what was it that changed as there was no visual or otherwise sensatory shift, only a vague and fleeting feeling.

But Wu Long instantly understood, his heart skipping a beat as he realized what she did.

Her eyes then returned to normal, while the feeling of discrepancy of the world around them instantly disappeared as if it was only a dream.

Her hair fell back at normal speed, making it seem as if she just jumped in the air, and then was for a few moments suspended in time, and the time flow just resumed.

He looked at her smiling face with slightly widened eyes as he never expected for her to succeed in such a short time. In fact he was fully prepared for her to fail which was why he wanted to be there when she would exit her seclusion.

It was not that he did not trust her abilities, quite the contrary. He simply truly understood the severity of the task she took up.

She was happy, but unable to comprehend just how phenomenal of an achievement she made.

If a child prodigy wrote a symphony without knowing it was a masterpiece, that would still be infinitely far from a good enough comparison as the magnitude of the achievement was just too far apart.

Dao Intent was something even beyond the reach of the so-

called \'Dao Gods\' sitting upon their high thrones in the highest and most exalted positions in the whole of the Seven Boundless Worlds.

The fact that a mortal girl only in her early twenties who grew up in an isolated world could comprehend, or rather attain, a concept so elusive and untouchable hereto, was mind-blowing to say the very least.

Even if she had help from him, and even if he constantly introduced her to the various knowledge and concepts he accumulated and perceived, even if he let her experience every single Weapon Intent he knew, it was still an feat beyond imaginable.

"Though, of course, it is only a fundamental Dao Intent and very limited, and I don\'t exactly understand it, as it is more of an instinct, so I have to-..."

She then hurriedly added to not exaggerate what she achieved but his lips covered hers with a kiss before she could finish.

"Limited? Silly girl, do you understand what you just did?"

He whispered in the ear of the slightly surprised Luo Mingyu right after the kiss. She was in a mild state of shock as she never saw him so surprised and seemingly in disbelief.

A realization that she had done something truly impressive even by his standards started to dawn on her.

"Are you... happy?"

"Of course I am, Mingyu, happy is truly an understatement"

He chuckled at the hesitant voice of the beauty whose lips curled up into a smile of happiness at the thought she managed to impress him and make him happy.

"...then... I want a reward..."

"Hahaha, of course, Mingyu. Ask away"

"... you know what I want"

Her cheeks blushed but she stated with a clear and even voice into his ear, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Happy to oblige"

His feet started moving forward as she stepped back, the talismans still on the doors of the room she was in glowing and pushing the sliding doors shut behind his back while they kissed.
