Minor Accomplishment in the Heart Sutra

Time passed, and before they knew it, Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun had been in seclusion in the secret chamber for five months.

Five months doesn't sound like a long time.

However, if two people are alone in a secluded room together, many things can happen as they spend time together.

These small things can often subtly change a person's mindset.

For example, sleep. A single practice session between two people can last for ten or twenty days. After the practice, they are mentally exhausted and have no energy left. It is difficult to recover through meditation, so they can only enter a deep sleep.

The two would lie down fully clothed on this large futon, which could be considered as sharing a bed.

Take bathing as another example. Martial arts practitioners can abstain from grains and rely on the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to sustain their lives. By doing so, they remain untainted by impurities and can truly be described as living a life untouched by worldly affairs. At the same time, martial arts practitioners can also remain untouched by dust. Scriptures describe their skin as "fragrant and smooth, like a lotus flower, unstained by water." Under such circumstances, martial arts practitioners have no need for bathing at all.

However, Lin Xin Tong was particularly fond of cleanliness. Especially after she and Yi Yun Dual Cultivation, her whole body was soaked in sweat, and her clothes were sticky and clinging to her body. Even after she used her vital energy to dry them, Lin Xin Tong still didn't like it.

Therefore, she takes a shower after each practice session.

She had a bathtub in her Space Ring, and as for the bathwater, Lin Xin Tong could simply condense the water elemental energy there.

The two were originally in a secret room. Lin Xin Tong always took a bath in the hall, which was only a few steps away from Yi Yun. There was only a stone wall between them, and there was no door.

The sound of water was clearly audible to Yi Yun, creating a naturally ambiguous atmosphere.

In this situation, although the two did not have any physical contact, Lin Xin Tong gradually began to accept Yi Yun from the bottom of her heart.

After all, this level of ambiguity was already quite excessive for Lin Xin Tong. But she could accept it with Yi Yun.

In three months, Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun had cultivated the Empress Heart Sutra to the very end of the first level.

Even mastering just one level of the Empress Heart Sutra is incredibly impressive. However, the further one progresses in the Empress Heart Sutra, the greater the level of physical contact between men and women becomes.

For example, at the end of the first stage, both men and women must press their hands on each other's 108 acupoints in turn, and transport and merge Yin and Yang energies in a strict and complicated order. No mistakes can be made, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.

Points like Tianfu and Tianquan on the arm are fine.

However, acupoints like Lingxu, Shencang, and Tianxi are located on Lin Xin Tong's chest, which is too sensitive.

If it were when she first started cultivating the Empress Heart Sutra, Lin Xin Tong would have found it absolutely difficult to accept this level of physical contact.

But now, after three months of adjustment, she has barely managed to prepare herself mentally.

Yi Yun sat on the futon, having taken off his clothes and gone shirtless.

The practice of the Empress Heart Sutra emphasizes the harmony of the spirit and body between men and women, requiring unobstructed contact between the acupoints of their bodies.

Ideally, both men and women should remove their clothes for the best effect.

However, Lin Xin Tong only took off her outer garment, wearing only a thin silk undergarment. She was still finding it difficult to face Yi Yun in person. That might make Lin Xin Tong feel too shy, causing her internal energy circulation to become disordered, which would actually affect the effectiveness of her cultivation.

Actually, Lin Xin Tong's clothes are already very thin, and they barely block the acupoints of the two people's bodies. Therefore, there will not be much of an obstacle in their attempt to reach the first level of the Empress Heart Sutra.

Lin Xin Tong sat opposite Yi Yun. She had already calmed herself down and felt that she could complete this crucial training with a calm mind. However, when she actually started, she was still a little short of breath.

"Shall we begin now?"

Yi Yun gathered all his energy, ready to make his move, and Lin Xin Tong slowly nodded...

As soon as the cultivation began, Yi Yun's hands moved along Lin Xin Tong's arms, reaching towards her armpits, and gently pressed on the acupoints on the front of Lin Xin Tong shoulders, slowly transmitting pure Yang energy.

Lin Xin Tong hugged Yi Yun's back and placed her hands on the Zhiyang acupoint on Yi Yun's spine. This is a key acupoint for both men and women to cultivate the <Empress Heart Sutra>, and it is one of the channels for Pure Yang Vital Energy.

At the same time, their acupoints on their chests aligned, and the physical contact allowed Yi Yun to clearly feel the elasticity and softness of their chests.

Yin and Yang energies circulated methodically between Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun. Lin Xin Tong suppressed her shyness and devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

The Pure Yang Energy surged, causing the ice to freeze and melt, turning into water vapor that condensed on Yi Yun's firm skin, forming tiny water droplets. At the same time, these droplets also lingered on Lin Xin Tong, soaking her already thin clothes.

Her clothes clung to her body, perfectly outlining Lin Xin Tong's slender and proud figure.

Gradually, Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong changed their positions. Yi Yun hugged Lin Xin Tong from behind, and his Zhongting acupoint on his chest was close to Lin Xin Tong's Zhiyang acupoint on her back. This kind of energy transmission was more direct.

At the same time, Yi Yun's fingers traced Lin Xin Tong's delicate neck, gently moving downwards...

Wherever his fingers touched, Lin Xin Tong's skin broke out in a layer of tiny goosebumps.

The sensation made Lin Xin Tong's breathing quicken, and at the same time, ripples spread through her heart.

This inner stirring does not hinder the cultivation of the Empress Heart Sutra; on the contrary, the stirring caused by emotions can further promote the fusion of Yin and Yang energies between men and women.

Lin Xin Tong couldn't help but close her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she let Yi Yun's chest press against her smooth back...

In Lin Xin Tong's mind, however, she was recalling all the things that had happened between her and Yi Yun...

From their first meeting in Yunhuang to their reunion in the Tianyuan Realm, if Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun could only be considered friends during that time, then later, at the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party and the Shentu Family's Medicine Trial Assembly, Yi Yun helped Lin Xin Tong out of her predicament and exposed the Shentu Family's conspiracy, which was equivalent to saving Lin Xin Tong once. Then, at the celebration party, Yi Yun made a promise. At that time, Lin Xin Tong had already developed an indescribable feeling for Yi Yun.

In this vast world, Lin Xin Tong, who is born with a rare and incurable Fatal Meridian, faces the world alone. She can rely on no one except Yi Yun, because of the Origin Purple Crystal within her body. He is the only one who can simultaneously touch Lin Xin Tong's rare and incurable Fatal Meridian and her lonely heart.

This is also the reason why Lin Xin Tong dreamed of Yi Yun restoring her innate broken Fatal Meridian and living happily ever after with her during the inner demon test in the Empress Secret Realm.

If all of this merely planted the seeds of emotion in Lin Xin Tong's heart, then Yi Yun's appearance on the Extreme Cold Ice Plain at Lin Xin Tong's most vulnerable moment, pulling her back from despair, can be said to have allowed those seeds to take root and sprout, filling Lin Xin Tong.

Whether it was when the two of them bathed together in the hot springs on the endless snowfield, or now in this secret room, all their intimate contact has made Lin Xin Tong's heart completely tied to Yi Yun.

At this moment, Lin Xin Tong felt a deep affection for Yi Yun. Her hands reached behind her back and gently stroked Yi Yun 'Yi Yun back, which was flushed with heat.

Based on their two exceptional physiques— Pure Yang Body and the Pure Yin Body— and with the catalysis of the Purple Crystal, the rich Yin-Yang energy in the secret chamber seemed to be transformed.

Inside the room, behind Yi Yun, appeared a series of crimson-gold pure yang dragons.

Behind Lin Xin Tong, Pure Yin Energy gathered and transformed into beautiful ice-blue phoenixes.

The auspicious dragon and phoenix, formed from these primordial energies, are the purest primordial laws of energy. They continuously flow into Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong's bodies, opening up all their acupoints and meridians.

This allowed their strength to increase at an astonishing rate.

Lin Xin Tong had been suppressing her cultivation to consolidate her foundation, but now she could no longer suppress it. The primordial energy in her dantian surged, and all of this energy condensed on the Dao Seed beneath Lin Xin Tong's foundation, making Lin Xin Tong originally crystal-clear Dao Seed even more crystalline.

"Boom!"

With a soft sound, as if something had exploded, Lin Xin Tong's cultivation level had risen to the mid-stage of the Dao Seed realm.

She could have taken this step much earlier, but now, catalyzed by the Empress Heart Sutra, she has taken it even more perfectly.

But this was not the end. In the next dozen or so breaths, the seed of law symbolizing the supreme pure Yin Dao became purer and purer, and Lin Xin Tong's cultivation continued to improve. She rushed all the way to the peak of the middle stage of the Dao Seed before slowly stopping. She was only one step away from the late stage of the Dao Seed.

However, compared to Lin Xin Tong, Yi Yun's changes are more significant.

At this moment, Yi Yun's face, neck, and upper body had all turned bright red.

The veins under his skin bulged high, and golden light flowed within them, as if what flowed within them was not blood, but molten, dazzling divine gold!

All the meridians in Yi Yun's body began to tremble, and waves of heat emanated from his open acupoints and pores.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Yin and Yang energies formed a faintly visible vortex, converging towards Yi Yun's dantian!

The Pure Yang Energy, like a vast ocean, enveloped Yi Yun.

The Pure Yin Energy, like a great river flowing into the ocean, caused the primordial energy in Yi Yun's dantian to continuously expand outward.

The Yuanji is like a small world within a martial artist's body. Although it is contained within the Dantian, it actually contains its own unique world, varying in size.

The foundation of martial arts is the basis for a martial artist's practice. Martial arts training emphasizes a solid foundation. Many geniuses would rather remain at a certain level than break through their cultivation until their internal energy can no longer be suppressed. This is all in order to consolidate their foundation.

The strength of the foundation largely depends on the breadth of the source material.

The broader the foundation, the more it can support a magnificent peak of martial arts! (To be continued~^~)
