Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak

Chapter 70: The Immortal Ascension Realm

"A Transcendent Realm Cultivator attacked the High Heaven Pavilion?" Hu Jiao'er asked, somewhat surprised at the information they had just received.

"A Peak Transcendent Realm Cultivator." Su Mu corrected Hu Jiao'er.

"How did they even survive against such an opponent?"

As far as Hu Jiao'er was aware, there was no way Ling Tai Xu, a 9th Stage Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator, could stand a chance against a peak Transcendent Realm Cultivator, even with the help of every elder of the High Heaven Pavilion, especially since Meng Wuya never intervened in the fight.

"I can only say that they were lucky. If the Transcendent Realm Cultivator was determined to wipe out the High Heaven Pavilion, I don't think anyone could've stopped him." Su Mu shrugged his shoulders.

"Your lack of reaction to such big news is amazing." Hu Jiao'er commented, causing Su Mu to chuckle lightly.

"After living for a good while, you start getting used to some things, and they no longer phase you. Things that can get an intense reaction out of me can be counted on a single hand." Su Mu replied, leaning back on the wall behind him. "Not to mention, my reaction won't make any difference to what has already happened."

It had been a little over a week since Su Mu reunited with the Hu Sisters inside the isolated place, and during that time, the isolated place had closed, expelling the remaining cultivators outside. But rather than hurrying back to the High Heaven Pavilion, the three of them decided to spend some time here in the wilderness.

By now, every cultivator who had entered the isolated place had left, so the only ones who were at the edges of the Nether Mountains were the Hu Sisters and Su Mu.

"But there's something I don't understand." Hu Mei'er, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, finally decided to intervene, and she asked. "If this world's limit is the 2nd Order Transcendent Realm, as you said, how did someone manage to break through to the 3rd Order?"

"The 2nd Order Transcendent is the natural limit of this world's Martial Dao, but Ling Tai Xu's disciple might have inherited a Saint Realm Cultivator's inheritance, which made reaching the 3rd Order Transcendent Realm possible." Su Mu explained.

If this small world's Martial Dao were stronger, Su Mu theorised that Ling Tai Xu's Disciple could've very easily broken through to the Saint Realm, becoming an unstoppable force within this world, but alas, something like that was impossible here.

The upper limit of a World's Martial Dao was something that no cultivator could avoid, including Su Mu.

"You don't seem worried about it, though." Hu Mei'er commented, noticing that Su Mu was talking about it as if it were some random gossip.

"While it's true that I stand no chance against someone in the Transcendent Realm, I don't think I'll be in direct conflict with Ling Tai Xu's disciple, so there is no point in worrying about that." Su Mu nonchalantly replied.

Even if things were to go south, Su Mu still had the Martial Dao True Intent, something that was capable of killing any being in this world as long as he could land a clear hit on them, although depending on the gap in strength, it might be completely impossible.

"Just in case, I should increase my cultivation a little." Su Mu added.

"Why not use the Blood Beads that we collected, along with the one from that Python Snake?" Hu Jiao'er asked, tilting her head a little to express her confusion.

A few days ago, the Hu Sisters offered Su Mu the two hundred Blood Beads that they had collected in this isolated place, but after expressing his gratitude for their efforts, he told them that it wouldn't be as effective for him as it was for other cultivators.

"It won't be a stretch to say that my talents for Sword and Dual Cultivation are unrivalled under the heavens, but when it comes to other branches of Martial Dao, I'm average in most of them, if not below average, so while cultivating using other methods was passable for earlier stages, doing that too often would affect my foundation in the long run, especially when the Harem God's Cultivation Scripture doesn't inherently support other cultivation methods for the first user." Su Mu explained.

{The more restrictions a Secret Art or Secret Technique has, the stronger results it would produce.} That was something Devourer, one of the 10 Great Antiquity Experts who created more than half of the Secret Arts and Techniques used by the Human Race in modern times, once said.

It was one of the reasons why Su Mu had restricted the Heavenly Sword in his past life, following the belief that he would only draw his sword when he was determined to kill the enemy, hence only honing his sword skills in actual life and death battles, speeding up his progress even further.

But having too many restrictions would do more harm than good, and sometimes it might even result in the collapse of a cultivator's Dao Heart, so it was important to not hinder one's growth with restrictions.

The Harem God's Cultivation Scripture was created to perfectly utilise Su Mu's unparalleled talent in Dual Cultivation while also supporting the various talents his partners had, bringing out their full potential in the most efficient way.

"That's why I suggested you two break through to the Immortal Ascension Realm now that we're out of that isolated place." Su Mu added with a smile.

By using the Blood Beads they had collected, along with the one he had from the Python Snake, it wouldn't be difficult for the Hu Sisters to reach the 2nd or 3rd Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

"That would be the second best use of those Blood Beads, but I wanted to help you increase your cultivation." Hu Jiao'er sighed lightly.

Even though she knew that Su Mu was much stronger than her, as his woman, it still bothered her when people looked down on him because his cultivation was lower than hers, even though he didn't mind such things.

Knowing what Hu Jiao'er was thinking about, Su Mu chuckled lightly, and soon, he commented. "You know, taking the Yin Essence of two talented Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivators would help in my cultivation a lot more than those Blood Beads ever could."

"Wait, you mean..." Realising what he was talking about, a light blush appeared on Hu Jiao'er's face, and she avoided eye contact with him, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"But wouldn't that be too much for your body to handle?" Contrary to her elder sister, Hu Mei'er was much calmer after hearing Su Mu's words, and her question was out of pure concern.

According to what Su Mu had previously taught her, there was a limit to who a dual cultivator could cultivate depending on their cultivation realm because the amount of energy contained within every cultivator's Yin and Yang Qi was different, making it hard to absorb for those with weaker cultivation bases.

For example, if a 2nd Stage True Element Realm Male Cultivator were to take the Yin Essence of two newly promoted Immortal Ascension Realm Female Cultivators, the moment he tried to absorb their Yin Essence, his body would explode from the immense energy being poured into it at once.

That was why recklessly cultivating with those of higher cultivation out of pure lust and affection was considered an idiotic decision among Dual Cultivators.

Either they could cultivate with someone of higher cultivation and waste the Qi their partner released, or they could die while trying to absorb it.

"That would've been the case, yes, but those side effects can be avoided to some extent when both partners cultivate the Harem God's Cultivation Scripture." Su Mu replied.

Since the difference in their cultivation wasn't much, the Hu Sisters cultivating the Harem God's Cultivation Scripture for half a year was more than enough to cover that difference.

"So that's how it is." Hu Mei'er nodded.

"But there's no need to force yourself into Dual Cultivation if you believe that it's too soon for you; breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Realm would be good enough for your progress." Su Mu added, turning towards Hu Jiao'er.

"It's not that I don't want to, but..." Hu Jiao'er replied in a low voice. "It's embarrassing to talk about it."

Su Mu chuckled at Hu Jiao'er's comment, summoning the Demon Mystic Tome in his right hand before handing over some Soul Cleansing Dew and Brilliant Flame Liquid to the Hu Sisters, along with the Blood Bead from the Python Snake.

"All the best." Su Mu said with a smile, cheering the Hu Sisters up.

He had no doubts that their breakthrough would be a success, so he wasn't worried about that.

"Thank you." Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er replied in unison, and after drinking the Soul Cleansing Dew and Brilliant Flame Liquid, the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground in a lotus position, and Su Mu walked away from them.

---

"Now, let's see."

After arriving a few hundred metres away from the Hu Sisters, Su Mu scanned the area using his Divine Sense, determining the location of every Monster Beast within the surrounding area.

"Hmm..."

Su Mu raised his left arm towards the sky as a hazy blue bow made out of Sword Qi appeared inside it, followed by a single arrow that appeared in his right hand before he launched it towards the sky, watching as the arrow soon divided into twenty-one different arrows, all moving in different directions.

"The Dao of Archery can be so convenient to clean up places."

Without even lifting a finger, Su Mu was able to kill twenty-one 5th and 4th Order Monster Beasts that could've potentially interrupted the Hu Sisters' breakthrough, guaranteeing their safety.

While Hu Mei'er's talent in the Dao of Archery far surpassed Su Mu's, his accomplishments over his past life weren't something she could just catch up on within a few years, even with his help.

After all, there was only so much pure talent could do against experience.

'From how things looked, it'd take them around two days to break through into the Immortal Ascension Realm and another week or so to advance a few stages.'

Now, all Su Mu had to do was wait, so in the meantime, he decided to contact Su Yan and have a chat with her.

A/N:

So, an important question. How far do you guys want the females (basically Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er) to go in threesomes with Mc (because the last one with the servants wasn't really a threesome, just one on one with both of them)?

Some skin contact between the girls is inevitable, but I don't wish to add any groping, kissing, or things like that between the girls even during a threesome.

Though the decision depends on what gets the most vote. I'll add it if you guys demand it, BUT there will be NO alone action between the girls (I ain't writing any Yuri), so I'm just asking what you'd prefer in threesome lemons.
