Chapter 375: Fusion
“I have back-up plans,” Lan Jue assured “Anyway, according to what Little Yue told els Her Discipline is the Light of Conscience As part of her inherent energy, she can’t do anything if her heart isn’t behind it Her Discipline is so integrated in to her being that doing so would cause her power to collapse, and rouchy pout “Why are you always so secretive? What’s your back-up plan?”
A smirk spread across Lan Jue’s lips “Raphael! If Sariel betrays us, we’ll be caught for publicly hu one of their own But of course, they’ll want their Archangel of Healing back I’m a councilor in Skyfire Avenue, and as we haven’t caused any actual da inquiries, and so forth At that point, we’ll have to wait for the Wine Master or Keeper to coer – you think I’d just bring you waltzing right in to the tiger’s den unprepared?”
Lan Jue’s explanation served to ease Qianlin’s concerns She sot quite an impressive mind I wonder why I never noticed before?”
He replied with a wry sht – Little Jue won’t be able to return to the Moonfiend Pirates once we rescue her She had a solid foothold in the Starfields, but if the Archangels were able to drag her back, then it er in control”
Qianlin’s eyes nearly popped out of her head “So you’re planning to bring her hoht as well just fold my arms and wait for her to die! You heard what Sariel said, they’re in the process of suppressing Little Yue’s powers The Pontiff’s Discipline is steeped in enetic manipulation Once the process is done, Little Yue won’t re about her former life Without her to protect and lead the Moonfiend Pirates, they’ll be wiped out I also want to use the Starfields as a future training area for the ARC students, and we can’t do that if it’s a constant war zone”
Zhou Qianlin didn’t respond Instead, she quietly looked out of their hotel room , out over the city Lan Jue took her hand and pulled her around to face hiave her a cryptic chuckle “Adhering to Bize’ rules of cultivation! We didn’t do any cultivating last night, and we need to really grasp how our powers interact”
Without warning, Lan Jue leaned down to place a kiss on Qianlin’s lips
They arm, and soft But he couldn’t even taste her before Qianlin ht and ht away, Lan Jue felt his Discipline strengthen and begin to flow sh him like a current The opposite was also true, however – when she separated, he felt empty and constrained
He was back to the peak of ninth ranked ied on the carpeted floor, Lan Jue closed his eyes and sank in to h He couldn’t feel even a trace of some separate entity inside him It was like the sudden explosion of his Discipline had no reason – and yet, he could still sense Qialin’s consciousness soe of thoughts and feelings without even needing the Soul Caller gean to exude a pale white light and focused his concentration He could feel hiies co with the whole of the universe
Now, even as the cultivation process began, he could sense why this process would be beneficial for the both of them Ninth level ninth rank Adepts possessed at least double the overall energy of a ninth ranked seventh level Talent The source was stronger, as was their ability to absorb energies from around themselves Peak-level Adepts had an ele of the real truth of things All of this s faster and easier with half the effort required
Most ih, was the fact that his deeper coht hi He could see it, sense it with a deeper clarity than before Within, his core had doubled in size and shone with brilliant electrical power Occasionally, threads of Qianlin’s own pale white energies would appear and then quickly vanish
Anything Lan Jue felt, Qialin could sense as well Their consciousness was joined and, when the two minds joined in concerted effort, the results were almost mystical Any deviation from concentration, any anxiety, was found and eased with each other’s help All of this helped to bring them both deeper in to conte
Qianlin especially stood to benefit froies around them, Qianlin was able to feel them the same that Lan Jue did She eaker than the fornorant of theenic transformation, just like Lan Jue’s Ascension! Perhaps it was the spirit of sacrifice, of dedication that enic transfor Zeus had experienced
These were certainly cheap gains for Qianlin, but her presence in this helped Lan Jue a great deal as well He could feel different aspects of this power, now It was as though he were experience it from an entirely different perspective
Time passed quickly When Lan Jue awoke fro on the second day after Raphael’s capture After two days of cultivation neither had eaten, but they didn’t need to Their connection to the universe had kept them satiated to the point they felt overstuffed
