The second day after he finished spending all his wealth on the Book of Eon, Zong Shou was like a human puppet, letting people do what they wanted with him.
Bathing and changing clothes. Wearing a red robe and being brought out of the city to pick up his wife. The couple went onto the sky altar to worship the heavens and pray for Gantian Mountain, officially establishing the country. Then telling the heavens that Xuanyuan Yiren and him were going to be married.
In the ancient world, a country’s ruler was seen as a dragon and the high officials as flood dragons, they all received the missions of heaven and were the sons of heaven.
Thus rulers all saw the heavens as their father, and they obviously had to tell their father about their marriages and so forth.
The entire process and rite was extremely complicated. The people of the Ministry of Rites wrote up a scroll filled with complicated and obscure phrases, really eloquent and ten thousand words long. He couldn’t let others read it and had to do so himself.
Even if at this moment Zong Shou had changed to the yin and yang world-shocking true energy, the conflicts within his meridians had turned for the better and his stamina had greatly improved, he was still tortured half to death.
When the rites were completed, those new officials were still okay, just very excited. However, the eyes of all the old officials of Gantian Mountain were filled with the tears they were all crying for joy.
Xuanyuan Tong was also crying. His knife-carved face was covered in tears, who knew if he was happy or sad.
Occasionally he would stare furiously at Zong Shou, like he was warning him that if he dared to treat his daughter poorly, he would go all out against him!
Lastly he accepted the bows of the officials. Once all the matters ended, it was already night time.
This was still okay. Gantian Mountain was newly created and in the eyes of many it was still a barbaric country, so there weren’t too many rules.
If this was Great Shang, it would have definitely lasted for several days and nights.

Zong Shou had a sickly expression once everything ended and after everyone left, his heart suddenly felt excited.
He was really relaxed and really wanted to laugh out loud. He strolled back into his sleeping room and walked in, only to see Xuanyuan Yiren quickly hide a book under the mattress while also wearing her veil.
Zong Shou’s eyes swept across it, and knew it was a Taoist duo cultivation technique.
He had also read that book before. It wasn’t considered really deep, but it fully described the pros and cons of dual cultivation and the normal methods of doing so.
Apart from that there were different types of pictures drawn from famous people, many various styles. The people in the pictures were petite and beautiful, the drawings were all really detailed, opening up one’s eyes.
Which was why it was really popular and spread far and wide. Even in the future, where everyone was well informed, many people would purchase this book. As for whether it was to research, or keep, or others, Zong Shou didn’t know.
He smiled as he walked over. He waved his sleeves and chased out all the maid servants in the room. Then he smiled, “My wife, you wore the veil the other way around!”
Xuanyuan Yiren instantly squeaked and took down her red veil to take a look. She was furious, “Zong Shou, you liar!”
When she said those words, she realized that actually she wasn’t that nervous. Zong Shou smiled as he poured some wine.
Her cheeks instantly flushed red, thinking to herself that they they about to do the formal exchange of cups of wine between husband and wife.
As expected it was. The two of them interlocked their arms and drank, only for Zong Shou to just take a mouthful and directly kiss her.
Before Xuanyuan Yiren was able to react, Zong Shou kissed her deeply, and then her mind went blank.
Their tongues locked together, the entire hall filled with a carnal aura.
She let Zong Shou do whatever he wanted with her. Unknowingly Zong Shou had stripped her, revealing her snow-white body. Firstly the pair of jade rabbits in front of her chest were touched all over, then that annoying hand directly stretched below her abdomen.
Instantly a shock surged up towards her head.
Her brain was thinking in a slightly unconscious manner about what she should do.
All the dual cultivation techniques she saw, one’s heart yearned for nothing, one didn’t focus on anything, one gave off no energy, coming out from one’s emotions, but not restricted by the emotions. One must have physical desires, but not be crazy about it.
How would she be able to do it now? Yiren, Yiren, so you were such a lewd woman deep down inside?
She was suddenly shocked, that’s right! There was still that white silk…
She opened her eyes with much difficulty and saw a white silk placed on the lower part of her body.
Her lower body felt like it was being pierced by Zong Shou.
At the start it was extremely painful. Zong Shou’s actions were gentle, he consoled her with his words while kissing and caressing her.
In just a moment that pain totally disappeared, what replaced it was an extremely filling feeling below, like she was being fulfilled.
Xuanyuan Yiren was shocked, opening her eyes, her gaze filled with emotion, “Ah Shou, aren’t you going to dual cultivate?”
The essence energy of a virgin was extremely important in all dual cultivation techniques. To both sides it was a great replenishment.
Zong Shou laughed when he heard that, touching her nose. “If both our first times are used on dual cultivation, wouldn’t that be uninteresting?”
Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, her heart was covered in a layer of honey. She reached out and hugged Zong Shou tightly, totally tossing aside her attempts at coordinating yin and yang, replenishing her energy. She disregarded all the incantations from before and at this moment desired for both of them to merge into one, unwilling to separate from him.
Zong Shou’s actions were suddenly quicker. At the start she felt slight pain, extremely hot, her body was covered in tingling shocks.
The silk was stabbed for who knows how many times. Zong Shou’s body suddenly shook and he exclaimed suddenly.
He only felt that the energy in his body surging about, absorbing the yin energy released from Yiren’s body to cycle around his nine chakra meridians. His yuan energy was released where the two of them merged together.
The internal energy of both sides seemed to have built a bridge, their liquids merging. It also caused her Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Technique to start to change.
Borrowing his World-Shocking Yin and Yang energy to adjust the Five Elements, there was new energy strengthening the yang, and the essence yin within her body was also showing signs of strengthening.
What was happening?
Zong Shou was shocked, not knowing if it because his World-Shocking Yin and Yang energy was different, or was it due to other reasons?
Or maybe it was better if one didn’t purposely dual cultivate, it was more fitting of the heavenly path if one did it like the two of them…
He didn’t think too deeply about it as he tossed aside all of this.
At this moment he only wanted to feel the joy, to enjoy everything belonging to this girl. He felt any random thoughts were an insult to this mood.

The next morning, Zong Shou stood refreshed outside of his sleeping room, bathing in the morning son.
His body had never felt so good, his essence energy was totally refreshed and his stamina was full.
He felt that the current him could kill for three days and nights on the battlefield and not get tired.
What was important was that the conflicting dual meridians in his body were surprisingly calm.
When he didn’t use his internal energy, he didn’t feel any disharmony at all.
The blade-like pain within his body that he normally felt had totally disappeared.
It actually made him feel a little uncomfortable…
Using his soul to look at his body, the smile on his face was apparent.
At this moment the internal energy within his chakra meridians could be considered the complete World-Shocking Yin and Yang energy. One yin and one yang, rotating in the spiral meridians, nourishing one another, growing and multiplying without end.
Coincidentally at that moment, a dewdrop fell from the bayan tree beside him, in front of him.
Zong Shou reached out with his finger and could clearly see that the dewdrop instantly shook into pieces, turning into pure spiritual energy. It was also returning back to its origin, using water spiritual energy to form water droplets.
A breath later, it felt like normal. Who would know that that dewdrop had split and broken a thousand times, but also was returned back to normal for thousands of times!
“Ninety percent!”
In just that short moment, Zong Shou knew how much he had benefited from last night.
Although his internal energy was strong due to his dual meridians, having twice that of others, he could at most use seventy percent of it. And at most it could last for 4-6 hours.
However after drawing in Xuanyuan Yiren’s yin energy to mediate between yin and yang, he could now make use of ninety percent. He could even have an intense battle lasting for a day and not worry about his dual meridians conflicting.
Which this, he would have no obstacles before the spirit realm! He just needed to break through that final heavenly barrier.
Naturally, it would be best if he was able to absorb a water element god beast’s life mark before he broke through to Spirit realm.
Zong Shou clenched his fist, feeling helpless.
Although he was nourished by yin essence, his World-Shocking True Energy finally had its foundations, but the amount was too small.
It could only last him to the Spirit realm. If he wanted to improve he needed more.
Unfortunately, one night of effort got him less than a thousandth of what he got at the start.
No wonder dual cultivation techniques mentioned essence yin and essence yuan.
Personally experiencing it, the difference was huge. It seemed like if he wanted to improve he needed to put in more effort in the future.
Turning around, Zong Shou saw the maids holding basins and bathing items as they walked out of the room.
Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, feeling extremely satisfied. He knew what was happening. Last night he didn’t even stop. Who knows if it was it because he felt excited about the physical body, or because of the yearning from the World-Shocking Yin and Yang Art itself.
Xuanyuan Yiren was a cultivator herself. She looked weak, but her body was actually really strong. She was just half a step from Grade Seven, which was why he dared to fool around like that.
If it was a normal girl being conquered by him like that, she wouldn’t have been able to take it.
When Zong Shou stepped into the hall, Xuanyuan Yiren had woken up. She was already wearing clothes, but was laying on the bed, devoid of energy.
When she saw Zong Shou she stared at him, filled with annoyance, joy, a little fear, and also some embarrassment.
Thinking about last night, she felt like she didn’t have the face to see him. She was drunk on the enjoyment, unable to pull herself out of it.
