Zong Shou felt precisely that way now. As Lin Xuanshuang poured the Primordial Character True Dharma, the Yuan Sheng Ling Xi Jue, into him, he absorbed it into his soul-sea consciousness like a whale swallowing water.

A profound satisfaction filled his spirit, the sheer joy of grasping the Great Way, the delight of seeing his foundational Dao base fully mended. He felt that if he died now, this life would hold no regret. His entire body, inside and out, thrummed with exhilarating energy. "This elixir, this technique—they truly possess mystical power. Used in tandem, they genuinely possess the ability to seize the fortunes of heaven and earth—"

What Zong Shou understood now extended far beyond the Great Way of the Primordial Character True Dharma. One character could spawn countless derivations, enabling him to perfect and complete the other True Dharmas he had mastered. He felt that what he had gained in the mere moments the elixir’s power took hold was equivalent to hundreds or thousands of years of arduous cultivation! Even if this came with some future repercussions, Zong Shou deemed it absolutely worthwhile. Although this time, the seven drops of Heaven-Seizing Returning Fluid were entirely consumed, along with the Celestial Origin Life Creation Pills. Yet, to exchange them for such an opportunity was supremely profitable. Even his advancement to the Immortal Realm within the Azure Spirit World hadn't brought him such startling joy as this moment. Advancing in cultivation realm alters the essence of his life and greatly increases his strength. However, this 'Primordial' Character True Dharma, the Yuan Sheng Ling Xi Jue, propelled him a step further, establishing the very foundation for challenging the ultimate limit of the Great Way.

While contemplating this, Zong Shou suddenly felt that the condition within his body was turning amiss.

The medicinal power of the Profound Enlightenment Elixir had only lasted for half an hour before beginning to recede. But as the icy spring flowing through his veins gradually vanished, it was immediately replaced by surging tides of fiery magma, throbbing within his nine meridian wheels, causing intense agitation and restlessness. This disturbance violently yanked Zong Shou from his meditative trance.

"Is this the side effect Master mentioned about the Profound Enlightenment Elixir? It's nothing much—" Zong Shou scoffed internally, shaking his head slightly. The minor anomaly within his body was truly trivial. He suppressed it with his intent; it would simply pass once the medicinal effects faded!

But a mere instant later, Zong Shou felt a warm, soft body clamp tightly around him, seemingly intent on fusing into his very core. Zong Shou’s mind exploded, followed by a brief sensation of bewilderment. Was this a woman? Was this Jingyin?

Opening his eyes, he saw Jingyin. Her delicate face was flushed scarlet, her breath coming in soft, fragrant sighs right before his eyes. She seemed to be struggling fiercely to suppress something, yet utterly unable to contain it. Her expression was one of intense distress, yet her eyes shimmered with blooming passion, hazy and intoxicating. Her entire delicate form exuded the aura of desire.

"So fragrant—" She inhaled deeply near Zong Shou's neck. Jingyin seemed unable to bear it any longer, and her cherry-red lips suddenly sealed over Zong Shou’s. Her delicate, lilac-like tongue boldly darted in, tangling with his own.

Zong Shou panicked internally. How could this little nun be so audacious? What on earth was happening? Had she consumed something?

Instinctively, he wanted to push Jingyin away, but immediately, his mind wavered. Towards this fiery female body, an intense craving erupted. Going with the flow, he instead held Jingyin tightly against him. Their bodies pressed together intimately. One hand kneaded her startlingly taut and curved hip, while the other climbed toward the soft, yielding peak of her breast. He felt a flame roaring fiercely in his chest, demanding that he crush the nun in his arms, ravish her fiercely, to extinguish this fire and achieve satisfaction.

Jingyin’s body trembled slightly but offered no resistance; instead, she let out contented murmurs of pleasure. "Future Buddha, Jingyin likes this so much, it's tingly and so comfortable—I want more. Hmm, this can't be happening, stop, what is wrong?" Even as she spoke, her jade-like hand reached toward Zong Shou's lower body, gripping the part that currently stood as rigid as an iron rod. She marveled, "Why is it so hard? It’s making Xiao Yin uncomfortable, but I still want it so much."

Zong Shou's thoughts were also muddled. The sliver of remaining rationality told him he should push Jingyin away and force himself to calm down completely. But the soft, smooth skin of Jingyin that his hands touched acted like a magnet, captivating him, making it impossible to release her, impossible to stop touching. He most enjoyed teasing the cherry buds atop Jingyin’s twin peaks; every sweep of his finger caused her delicate body to tremble, eliciting joyful moans.

He was utterly puzzled. What was happening to him today? He couldn't even control this mere carnal desire? He felt that Jingyin in this moment was even more captivating than the Way of the Sword, or the Grand True Dharmas. He suddenly took Jingyin’s breast into his mouth, shamelessly fondling and stroking her, while desperately trying to think, searching for the underlying reason.

Suddenly, a flash of spiritual insight sparked in his mind. It was Lin Xuanshuang’s words spoken just before he took the Profound Enlightenment Elixir—"However, this substance will also awaken your Celestial Fox bloodline and innate nature, which might lead to unexpected consequences. You must think carefully before taking it—"

Celestial Fox nature? What is nature? The nature of desire— Most creatures in the world are like this; even humans, the pinnacle of the myriad spirits, are the same. To pass on the lineage, to spread the bloodline, is the instinct of every race. Especially the Dragon race, whose numbers are few, they possess the most intense passions. And the equally scarce Celestial Foxes are much the same, furthermore, they are innately capable of seducing all living beings. A careful sniff of the scent on his body was more potent than the highest grade of aphrodisiac.

But why did this elixir awaken his Celestial Fox bloodline, rather than the superior Burning Sky Blood of the Lu family or the Water Qilin? Ah, it must be the Spirit Nodus Dream Weaving Art. Tracing it back, it was based on illusionary arts, which combined with the Profound Enlightenment Elixir, ignited the illusionary-type bloodline within him. Then, how could Jingyin have appeared here by such a coincidence?

A figure flashed involuntarily through Zong Shou’s mind. Zong Shou could only offer a wry smile, thinking how could his master scheme against her own disciple in such a way?

Having completely understood, Zong Shou was about to exert himself to strike Jingyin unconscious, and then use his intent to forcefully suppress his instincts. But just as this thought arose, he noticed Jingyin slowly lowering herself.

The thing below his waist suddenly entered a warm and damp space. It was slightly tight, yet it caused the blood vessels to surge even more intensely. Initially, she contacted a thin membrane, making Jingyin slightly frown, seemingly experiencing some pain. Then, she gritted her teeth and suddenly plunged down, allowing Zong Shou to thrust all the way to the deepest part of this Peach Blossom Spring cave.

At that moment, waves of immense True Essence and vital energy flowed and exchanged between them through their intimate connection. When Yin reaches its extreme, Yang is born; when Yang is flourishing, Yin is born—Yin and Yang converge, ceaseless and unending. Borrowing Zong Shou's vast True Qi, it swept through and violently scoured open the remaining congested meridians within Jingyin's body, akin to a complete purification and marrow washing.

And Zong Shou’s body welcomed a flood of virgin True Essence, far exceeding that of Xuan Yuan Yiren, Ruoshui, and even Kong Yao by tenfold. Yet, at this moment, neither of them paid heed to the changes in their primal Yin and Yang, or within their physical bodies. Overwhelming pleasure was striking both their souls.

Jingyin’s body had completely softened into a limp mass, like mud, collapsed upon Zong Shou’s chest, panting softly. Below, tremors ran through her, and fluid continued to flow forth like a spring. Zong Shou, however, felt a thunderous explosion in his mind.

The die was cast; thinking of anything now was too late. He stopped overthinking and simply pushed Jingyin’s body down, pressing himself onto her. At this point, he had completely surrendered to his innate instincts, unable to pull back. And just before the last vestiges of his rationality completely dissolved,

He was thinking that he would certainly settle accounts with Lin Xuanshuang, his master, sooner or later, for this day's events...

It was still within the largest quiet room of the same Kun Tian Immortal Abode. However, by this time, a full three days had passed. Lin Xuanshuang sat in the high seat, speaking of the Dao calmly, as if nothing at all had happened.

The atmosphere in the room was slightly bizarre. Jingyin kept her head bowed shyly, as if she had committed some shameful deed and could not face others. Zong Shou, on the other hand, glared coldly at Lin Xuanshuang above, his eyebrows raised in anger.

The effect of the Profound Enlightenment Elixir only lasted for half an hour, but the duration of the side effect that triggered their innate natures lasted the full measure of time. He and Jingyin had fiercely battled here for two full days and nights before finally stopping, waiting for the drug’s influence to dissipate. Immediately afterward, they had gone to seek out their master to reason with her. But within this tiny Kun Tian Immortal Abode, less than ten thousand zhang in scope, Zong Shou could not find Lin Xuanshuang.

Knowing the abilities of this Quasi-Ultimate Realm Saintly Venerable, if she wished to hide, it would be utterly futile for him to turn the Kun Tian Immortal Abode upside down. Zong Shou, resigned, chose to enter seclusion to consolidate his cultivation and his union with the person whose Yuan Yin he had obtained. Yet, just one day later, he was summoned here again by Lin Xuanshuang’s divine sense.

He ground his teeth inwardly. It was truly incredible that his master still had the leisure to preach the Dharma at a time like this? Lin Xuanshuang appeared unfazed, speaking a few sentences before wrinkling her delicate nose, expressing surprise, "What an intensely fishy and foul odor. Among you two, did someone commit some sort of vulgar act in my place of preaching?"

Jingyin became even more reluctant to look up; her chin rested against her chest. Not only was her face bright red, but even her pale, tender neck had changed color. Zong Shou was so infuriated he almost laughed, asking calmly, "Master, why feign ignorance? Perhaps this disciple should ask Master what your intention was behind such an absurd action?"

The corner of Lin Xuanshuang’s lips twitched slightly, and she quickly covered her face with her hand. Zong Shou immediately grew suspicious. Was his master secretly smiling behind her hand? However, the upper half of her face wore an expression of utter solemnity, and her voice was chillingly sharp.

"Indeed! You two actually committed such a shameless act. Zong Shou, when I imparted the Great Way to you that day, you failed to properly comprehend and meditate, instead engaging in illicit pleasure with this woman of unknown origin. Instead of reflecting on your own behavior, you dare to blame your master? Is this your way of respecting your teacher? And Jingyin, who allowed you to seduce my disciple? Does your Buddhist sect truly have no sense of shame whatsoever?"

Zong Shou felt a jolt—was she attempting to turn the tables on him? Jingyin mumbled incoherently, unable to offer a reply, looking as if she wished the earth would swallow her whole. Zong Shou, however, shook his head slightly. "Everything stems from the Profound Enlightenment Elixir granted by Master. The entire cause originates with Master—"
