Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 452 Frozen Soul Extreme Yin Physique

This proposal to the Frozen Garden Palace was something that Wu Long has previously discussed with his women, after the long cultivation session which did not give as much results as they previously expected, cementing in their minds the necessity of finding cultivation partners.

Wu Long knew about the flaw in the cultivation of members of the Frozen Garden Palace, which made the arrangement beneficial for both them and Wu Long.

It also was a close-knit group of relatively higher-level cultivators who had an already established structure, and thus if an alliance was formed could be a reliable partner group.

At the same time it was a group of women who did not seek a partner as their cultivation was that of preserving their Pure Yin Qi.

Thus they were determined to not find a marriage partners in their lifetimes in the first place, which meant joining such an arrangement would not rob them of potentially finding happiness with someone in a relationship. There was no such possibility for them to begin with.

All of these reasons made them the ideal people to make such a proposal to.

"Please forgive my careless remark, Daoist Wu. You have to admit your proposal is at the very least not common"

"I do understand. And you do not need to apologize.

Though just for your understanding, it is actually not uncommon for two cultivators to make a pact and Dual Cultivate to attain higher realms, benefiting both even if there are no feelings between them.

This practice is just not common in the Boundless Mortal World"

He nodded, acknowledging the truth in her words in a softer voice to show her it was fine, as his demeanor shifted back to normal.

"Of course, my proposal is different because it does not involve one but many people at once, but the circumstances here are different as well.

Your sect members have a problem for which it is a solution, but they would benefit from this arrangement even more than you think, since the requirements I told you about for the male in such an arrangement are directly related to the benefits you will receive.

And even then each member has to be given the right to decide for themselves if they want to participate or not"

He then added as Qiu Yilao sank into thoughts.

There was still a light feeling of bewilderment, but she started to see that what he proposed was an arrangement to benefit both parties, rather than a cheap desire to have the women of the Frozen Garden Palace.

"But, how is it possible for you alone to..."

She finally decided to clarify a slight doubt that popped up in her mind, though unable to finish as she was a maiden who never spoke of these things in her life despite her age.

"Oh, you do not need to worry about that. I am a Dual Cultivator, and not an ordinary one as well. I have absolute confidence in that department"

He smiled, understanding her concern. His smile making her lightly blush as she turned her gaze away.

Xue Bing did not exhibit much emotion either to the proposal or to the subsequent explanations. Her gaze still glued to Wu Long, though the rosy color did flush a few times on her cheeks at different parts of the conversation.

"Do you intend to ask every woman in our Frozen?Garden Palace individually?"

She asked in a calm, steady voice.

"Not exactly, since doing that would be undermining the authority of Palace Master Qiu. I first need Palace Master to agree in principle to the proposal, perhaps after deliberation with the Grand Elders, but I propose you do that after the Winter Forest Hunt"

Wu Long answered, halfway through his words turning back to Qiu Yilao who first had a pleased expression at not being jumped over to make such a proposal directly to her sect members, and then raised her eyebrows at the end of his speech.

"Why so?"

"Because they will move during the event"

Wu Long chuckled, and Qiu Yilao's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole as she instantly understood what he was talking about.

"Are you sure?"

Her question went past the doubt of how he knew about the matter, as it was redundant to ask at this point. Especially with how the conversation progressed before this point.

"Certain"

"How can you be so sure?"

"I met the player moving the pieces, and he just recently lost a move so he's certain to retaliate in a similar setting to make up for it"

Wu Long shrugged.

"But is that not speculation?"

"And experience. Though you are free to dismiss my words. Think of it as the advance benefit of an alliance with me"

He smiled, as Qiu Yilao sighed, sinking into thoughts once again, this time with a much more somber look on her face.

"Then we must strike first"

"I would advise against it. We can't win this round, since the person behind it is too volatile to lose another move.

The consequences of foiling his move will be the immediate start of the all-out-war since he would want to retaliate against me through people I care about and I would not let that happen"

"Then what do you suppose we do? Are you proposing we 'lose a round' and obediently wait to be attacked? I am not going to tolerate losing even a single life to them!"

Qiu Yilao understood from his words that the consequences of actually turning this situation in their favor were very dire, but at the same time could not consent to have the other side butcher her disciples and sect members for the sake of the bigger picture.

"Haha, of course not, Palace Master Qiu. If my calculation was to 'lose this round' I would have simply not warned you about it.

What we have to do is give him a symbolic win with a draw in realistic consequences"

Wu Long lightly laughed, shaking his head as he blatantly told her the possible way he could act if he indeed intended to use her sect as a sacrificial offering to the bigger picture.

Qiu Yilao also read his intention from his words as a realization started appearing on her face.

"So you intend to have a draw in which neither side wins and both retreat?"

"Close, you do have to make that symbolic win for him so it is your side that has to retreat and abandon the Spiritual Land, but you don't need to lose any lives, just don't win over the other side"

"What?! But-..."

"Master, a sect is not a location..."

"...but the people, I know Bing'er. Still, to abandon our home..."

As Qiu Yilao struggled to come to terms of the proposed solution, Xue Bing seemed more receptive to the idea.

"Prime Disciple Xue, if I am not wrong, you already know all the people who will be joining their side"

"Correct"

Wu Long spoke, temporarily shifting the focus of the conversation to give Qiu Yilao some time to come to terms with what must be done in order to gain a tactical win.

"Exceptional, I thought it might be the case when you intervened as we arrived in your sect, but you are able to perceive intension already..."

Wu Long said with slight admiration, as it was an ability related to her Frozen Soul Extreme Yin Physique.

His words caused the beauty to slightly widen her eyes.

"You know my abilities?"

"Not in much detail, but yes. Though in truth your abilitieshave yet to awaken, as you probably know"

Wu Long nodded, causing Xue Bing's turquoise-colored eyes to slightly glimmer.

Much like Shen Min's Dual Polarities Extreme Yin Physique, this beauty's Frozen Soul Extreme Yin Physique had a secondary effect that was active even in the not awakened state, and both had to do with the mind.

And similar to Shen Min, the ability was active without her conscious control.

Her ability was to freeze, or in other words shut off her emotions, obtaining an ice-cold perspective and clear mind. This, much like Shen Min made her perceptive to the emotions of others.

But it seemed that being in a sect focused on Ultimate Yin cultivation caused her to have a slightly higher level of control over her physique, as she was able to differentiate the emotions she perceived in others.

However, it was apparent to Wu Long that she was yet unable to turn the ability off, in a way trapped by her physique much like Shen Min was by hers.
