Qin Yanyang’s expression was grave, her face serious and full of an unexplainable apprehension and lingering fear.
Yang Fei knew she couldn’t possibly deceive him.
But he frequently spent time alone with Tong Yunshu recently. During dual cultivation, utilizing that miraculous effect of consciousness sharing, he also tried to sense that enormous black hole vortex above the sky, wanting to see what was inside, and whether he could find the feeling that Tong Yunshu had mentioned.
But not once did he sense anything unusual.
Now Qin Yanyang also said someone was watching over here from behind, which made Yang Fei believe it a bit more.
He held Qin Yanyang’s hand and comforted, "Perhaps there really are other biological civilizations watching Earth. But even if that’s the case, so what? We can’t see them anyway, so let’s not overthink it."
Qin Yanyang heard this and smiled, saying, "Hmm, I’m not overthinking, just telling you the feeling I just had."
Yang Fei said, "Honestly, I am somewhat expectant to see if any new species might appear in there. But a month has passed, and nothing has come out. We were just scared for nothing. On the contrary, ever since the black hole vortex appeared, the spiritual energy on Earth has become more abundant, and the powerful elements have increased, which is only beneficial to us cultivators on Earth, with no downsides."
Qin Yanyang laughed, "Yes, if not for the black hole vortex causing those special power elements on Earth to become richer, I wouldn’t have been able to complete Foundation Establishment so quickly."
Hearing her mention this, Yang Fei looked at her with undisguised envy and said, "Wife, your Physical Body Realm is too formidable; you can actually roam the void directly, without using the power of divine soul thought to condense heaven and earth power elements to aid flight."
Qin Yanyang was a bit proud, smiling, "Yes, I now feel that Earth’s gravity has little effect on me. In a low-altitude state, I can fly whenever I want. The True Qi in my body seems to integrate seamlessly with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around, making me like a part of heaven and earth, free to soar."
Yang Fei enviously said, "That’s truly amazing. The key is the speed is so fast."
Qin Yanyang silently felt for a while and said, "It’s not just speed; I feel my power is unprecedentedly strong. Yang Fei, you might not be my match anymore."
Yang Fei pulled a face and said, "What, are you thinking of fighting me?"
Qin Yanyang chuckled, "I’m reminding you to work hard and, also, it’s best not to make me mad, or you can’t beat me."
Yang Fei embraced her, "Then I should carefully check your body to see if there are any different changes."
"No, it’s broad daylight..."
"What are you afraid of? We’re cultivating; it wouldn’t be shameful even if others hear about it."
"Enjoy the wine today, for tomorrow is uncertain; live happily one day at a time."
After an hour of intimate embrace and passion, the two entered a dual cultivation state.
As soon as their True Qi connected, there was a certain level of rejection, in stark contrast to the previously complementary state, almost causing the True Qi to run wild.
"Are you okay?" They looked at each other with concern at the same time.
Then they simultaneously shook their heads, indicating they were fine.
Qin Yanyang said, "Why is this happening?"
Yang Fei said helplessly, "Your internal True Qi has undergone a qualitative change, which cannot perfectly match with my True Qi like before, causing some rejection."
Qin Yanyang nodded silently, worried, "What should we do? Doesn’t this mean we can’t do dual cultivation anymore?"
The benefits of dual cultivation were truly numerous. If not for the dual cultivation over this time, Qin Yanyang knew she wouldn’t have broken through so quickly. Now unable to do dual cultivation, she was very worried and dejected.
Yang Fei was also very worried. After some thought, he said, "Earlier, our True Qi experienced rejection, but it wasn’t particularly strong. Shall we try again?"
Qin Yanyang, a bit apprehensive, asked, "Will it be dangerous?"
"You can just use a portion of your True Qi to do dual cultivation with me, and try it out first," Yang Fei suggested.
Seeing his insistence, Qin Yanyang agreed to his suggestion.
The two tried it again.
Indeed, the moment the two strands of True Qi touched, rejection occurred again, but this situation wasn’t particularly evident, as Qin Yanyang had only mobilized half of her True Qi.
Although their True Qi couldn’t merge, their minds were connected. Yang Fei signaled to hold on, and Qin Yanyang agreed.
The two continued practicing dual cultivation; the two strands of somewhat rejecting True Qi traveled through their meridians, exerting a certain load and pressure on both of their Martial Meridians. But with their advanced realm, the extensively polished and extremely powerful Martial Meridians could endure it.
After circulating for a few Cycles, although the sense of rejection of True Qi still existed, the effect of dual cultivation had appeared.
The power elements from the surrounding heaven and earth continuously gathered towards the room where they were.
This effect was even better than during previous dual cultivation sessions.
However, now during dual cultivation, Qin Yanyang’s help to Yang Fei was significantly greater. Of course, she could also feel the internal True Qi being tempered and increasing, although it was growing much slower compared to Yang Fei.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed.
That afternoon, over the Yunwu Mountain Valley where the clear sky was vast and blue, suddenly clouds gathered densely, night seemed to descend three hours early upon this valley.
The people cultivating within the valley were not aware of the weather change outside, until suddenly, a moment came where everyone felt a sudden shiver, an unprecedented sense of crisis came from above their heads.
Everyone rushed out of their rooms, looking up at the sky.
All thought some commotion had come from the black hole vortex high up.’
However, the vortex on the dome was still hanging there peacefully, with nothing happening.
Instead, a dense cluster of dark clouds loomed over the Yunwu Mountain Valley.
In other distant places, the sky was clear and sunny, with some sunshine visible. Only over this Yunwu Mountain Valley, the clouds were densely packed.
Everyone showed an expression of shock, not knowing what was happening. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel[f]ire.net
In the dense dark clouds, dazzling lightning twisted like silver snakes, and the rumble of thunder rolled down.
As everyone was in doubt and ambiguity, a loud voice sounded, "Everyone evacuate the valley for now, quick!"
Hearing Yang Fei’s voice, everyone was greatly surprised, but the majority reacted quickly, immediately flying out of the valley.
Someone, however, couldn’t help but ask with concern, "Brother Yang, what exactly is happening?"
"Is there a problem with the formation?"
Yang Fei rushed out of the room.
Following him out was Qin Yanyang.
Seeing the two, everyone’s expression changed, with looks of surprise in their eyes.
They saw that around Yang Fei’s body, electric sparks glimmered like tiny electromagnetic sparks, as if he carried a massive amount of electricity.
Around Qin Yanyang’s body, there were also some, but compared to Yang Fei, they were much fewer, like scattered sparks jumping around her body.
Were these two electrified? How come they gave people a feeling of sparks bringing electric shocks?
Just then, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.
Immediately afterward, a terrifying lightning bolt resembling a silver sword that descended from the heaven slashed directly toward Yang Fei.
Compared to the Thunder Power that Yang Fei had controlled a month ago, this lightning contained a power of thunder and lightning that was more than ten times stronger.
