When everything finally quieted down, a very long time had passed.
The Empress had calmed down, and everything seemed different.
Qin Chuan had been worried about unforeseen circumstances that might cause a disruption, but everything had gone so smoothly that it surprised him.
Perhaps this was because the preparations had been excellent, everything had been laid out perfectly, allowing everything to proceed smoothly to the end, overcoming layer upon layer of difficulties.
Qin Chuan held the Empress, his entire body enveloped in her embrace.
At this moment, nothing needed to be said, nor did he want to; even speaking would only spoil the atmosphere.
...
The next morning, Qin Chuan woke up quite early, and the Empress wasn't late either. Perhaps for some reason, and given her status as a powerful woman, she didn't experience any physical discomfort as a newlywed.
She went to see the Imperial Tutor, her face slightly flushed as she left, her gaze darting away from Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan found her slightly flustered appearance rather endearing, but she quickly ran off.
Morning exercise!
Qin Chuan practiced diligently and slowly, circulating his energy gradually. His cultivation level broke through several realms, and this time he suddenly discovered that the powerful Yin-Yang Dao and the mysterious dual cultivation technique had once again perfectly merged.
This was also why the Empress had entered the Immortal Emperor realm.
Qin Chuan ultimately broke through to the fifth level of the Immortal King realm.
This gave Qin Chuan a pleasant surprise; the breakthrough was significant, and a pure, extremely Yin energy entered his body.
This energy merged with the Yin energy within Qin Chuan's Yin-Yang divine power.
This brought Qin Chuan's Yin and Yang to a delicate balance.
Don't underestimate this balance. Previously, Qin Chuan's Yin-Yang divine power was actually predominantly Yang, with a slight imbalance that could lead to significant consequences.
While it wouldn't affect anything physically, it greatly reduced the power he could unleash. Achieving this Yin-Yang balance was extremely difficult.
Qin Chuan hadn't even considered achieving a true balance, as it was too difficult, determined by his constitution. He only aimed for a relative balance.
Unexpectedly, the Empress's physique this time actually raised the Yin Divine Power within Qin Chuan's Yin-Yang Divine Power to a significant level.
This balanced the Yin-Yang Divine Power within Qin Chuan's body at a major level. While it might seem insignificant, its impact on Qin Chuan was immense.
Previously, he could only unleash 60-70% of the power of his Yin-Yang Divine Power, but now he could unleash 100%, a real increase of at least 30-40%.
This was an increase in his overall strength, but that was secondary; it was only the obvious effect. The subtle difference was that it allowed Qin Chuan to reach a more refined level in his application of the Yin-Yang Dao.
For example, the Divine Dao Step!
The Yin-Yang Forging Divine Hammer became increasingly wielded and mastered by Qin Chuan, its movements becoming increasingly seamless and natural. The feeling was truly awe-inspiring. It
possessed a grand and majestic aura, with an ancient and elegant beauty. Everything became so simple, yet seemingly effortless—a true example of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Qin Chuan found himself increasingly exhilarated as he fought, a feeling beyond description. It was a unique and wonderful sensation; he felt incredibly powerful, and his confidence seemed to swell.
The fight quickly became unstoppable, and it wasn't until more than half an hour later that they stopped.
Qin Chuan only used one move, the Forging God Hammer, which he repeated over and over, yet this one move possessed a magical quality, revealing the trajectory of the Dao.
He stopped and saw two women watching him from a distance, but they didn't speak, seemingly afraid of being distracted.
Qin Chuan walked over and naturally took one woman's hand in each. This was perhaps the maximum level of intimacy a three-person group could have.
As for anything more intimate, Qin Chuan felt it was unrealistic, and in fact, he hadn't thought about it much.
After all, liking someone is a matter between two people. Being together, being honest and open with each other, is natural and without any issues. Therefore, Qin Chuan hadn't considered the idea of having multiple partners.
Happy times are fleeting.
Perhaps they feel fleeting.
Qin Chuan and the two women were free during the day, but at night he had to travel back and forth. Sometimes he was with the Empress one day and somewhere else the next.
Sometimes he was with the Empress in the first half of the night and with the Imperial Tutor in the second half.
At these times, Qin Chuan would sometimes have a fleeting thought that it might be nice if the three of them were together.
However, Qin Chuan quickly dismissed this idea.
Because the relationship between the two women was unusual, it was best to be cautious. Besides, Qin Chuan didn't feel any discomfort about himself.
This actually added to the romance, and there was no reason to complain about this small sacrifice.
Half a year passed, and Qin Chuan's cultivation reached the sixth level of the Immortal King Realm, just one step away from the seventh. He
hadn't made any breakthroughs in talismans and formations, but his talisman skills were nearing their end, and he would definitely break through within a month or two.
However, Qin Chuan was now leaving, as the agreed two-year period was approaching.
The two women were quite carefree. The Imperial Tutor held one of Qin Chuan's arms, while the Empress held his collar.
"My sister and I will stay here forever. If you have time, if you miss us, you can come and visit us when it's convenient," the Imperial Tutor said softly.
She naturally relied on, cherished, and was reluctant to part with Qin Chuan, but she knew that it was precisely at times like this that she needed to be carefree. She was a mature, rational woman.
The Empress nodded slightly: "You're out there all alone, so take good care of yourself. My sister and I are here, so don't worry about us."
"You two also need to take care of yourselves. You already know how to use the formations, and the guardian spirits can be used now, so don't worry too much. Your strength is quite good now..."
Qin Chuan didn't say anything more here; he had said everything he needed to say. He had told them about his departure half a month ago.
So he waved and left the two women.
War God Temple camp!
Qin Chuan returned here. When the woman saw him, she was slightly surprised and smiled. Her last two students were truly outstanding individuals.
Qin Chuan, Yue Qingyin.
Qin Chuan didn't see Yue Qingyin. He asked and learned that Yue Qingyin had already left.
He didn't know where she went. The Temple Master gave Qin Chuan a letter with only a few words on it: "
Until fate allows, please don't worry.
Yue Qingyin!"
The Temple Master was also very straightforward, telling Qin Chuan to prepare, as they would leave the next day for the Northern Chu State.
The next day, they used the teleportation array. Qin Chuan was surprised at how convenient it was to leave and go to this place.
They arrived directly in Chuzhou!
This was the rooftop of Chuzhou, and the people around were hurrying to and fro, paying little attention to Qin Chuan and the Palace Master.
After all, countless people passed by here every day, so who would care about two extra people? It wasn't strange at all.
