Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System
chapter-978

A woman with a beautiful face stood at the stern of a flying artifact. Her long black hair kept dancing along with the gentle breeze, and her eyes continued to stare far ahead as a sweet smile adorned her face. 'Ling Yun, how have you progressed since entering these higher realms? Have you become stronger compared to our last fight? Throughout my life, I have never been willing to accept other people's abilities, and I have always refined my own to maintain my position at the top. However, your appearance has brought about numerous changes, and I, Xuanyuan Xue'er, must acknowledge your abilities. Back then, you were still an amateur and weak, but your fighting abilities were almost equal to mine, and your existence made me feel under pressure. It's been almost a year since our last fight, and I've been training hard under my master's guidance. Unknowingly, you became my obsession, mainly because I didn't want to be overtaken by you. That's why I decided to go to the mysterious tower after she told me about it, but I didn't expect that you were also on your way there, so I was looking forward to our reunion.'

"Are you thinking about Ling Yun again, Big Sis?"

Xuanyuan Xue'er immediately turned around and inquired. "Why do you ask that, Chang'er?"

"Humph." Xuanyuan Chang'er snorted at her big sister. "You don't need to pretend with me, because I know for a fact that you have been thinking about that despicable guy for the past few months, and you even often call his name in your sleep."

"You don't need to deny it, Big Sis. Not only did I hear you calling his name in your sleep, but our master also heard it repeatedly, so she allowed you to go to that tower because she knew your feelings." Then, Xuanyuan Chang'er stood beside Xuanyuan Xue'er and faced her. "I want to ask you something, and you have to answer it honestly."

"What do you want to ask me?"

Xuanyuan Chang'er then touched Xuanyuan Xue'er's chest and spoke to her again. "According to your heart, Ling Yun is your rival or the man of your dreams, especially since we were able to see two different sides of you in the past few months. At times, you project an image of someone determined to overthrow your opponent, but at other times, you embody the essence of a woman in love."

After listening to her words, Xuanyuan Xue'er fell dumbstruck, and she felt at a loss to give an answer to her little sister, especially since she had never thought about such things before she met Ling Yun. In the past, her focus was on training to become strong and deepening her understanding of the way of the sword, so she had difficulty understanding her own feelings.

However, Xuanyuan Xue'er realized that Ling Yun was already an irreplaceable figure in her heart, particularly since he was the only cultivator she had ever acknowledged. However, she couldn't yet determine whether he was her rival or the man of her dreams. Furthermore, her past was tumultuous, and she believed she didn't deserve to be in a relationship with any man, much less one with a promising future like him.

Xuanyuan Chang'er let out a soft sigh, then grabbed Xuanyuan Xue'er's hand. "I have never liked Ling Yun, even more so after he did that kind of thing to me in the past. However, I have to admit that he is indeed an extraordinary cultivator, so I think he is the only man worthy of being your companion."

"Stop it." Xuanyuan Chang'er interrupted, covering her big sister's mouth with her hand. "Big Sis, I am your little sister, and I have been by your side for so long, so I completely understand your feelings. I know that you still haven't forgotten the trauma of your past, but that incident has passed so long ago, and you have already slaughtered those people, so I think it's time for you to forget all that and move forward with your life. Otherwise, you will always be stuck with your past, and you will live in loneliness for the rest of you life. Moreover, Ling Yun was a dual cultivator, and he even had so many wives in the past. Perhaps, he already has more women now, and I'm sure that he will never mind your past. From now on, you can start thinking about your feelings, only that way you will find your happiness."

Once again, Xuanyuan Xue'er fell silent, but her expression clearly showed that she was thinking about her little sister's words, making Xuanyuan Chang'er smile before withdrawing her hand.

"Junior sister Xue'er and junior sister Chang'er, can I join your conversation?"

The Xuanyuan Sisters immediately turned to the man, who was walking over to them. His appearance resembled that of an ancient literati, with a handsome face and a sturdy figure. However, Xuanyuan Chang'er seemed despiseful towards him, so she immediately rejected him. "Senior Brother Ning Fan, we were talking about our personal matters, so I hope you can leave us alone."

Even though he was irritated by Xuanyuan Chang'er's rejection, Ning Fan still maintained his smile, and he then spoke to her again. "Junior sister, we have known each other for more than half a year, and we often train together, so you don't need to be like this to me, right?"

"If it weren't for Grandpa Yun, I'm too lazy to train with you, so you can leave us now, especially since your presence disturbs us." Seeing that Ning Fan seemed to be adamant about not wanting to leave, Xuanyuan Chang'er pulled her big sister away with her. "Since you don't want to go, we will go, and you should not disturb us. Otherwise, I will complain to our master, and she will severely punish you, just like before."

'That bitch!' Ning Fan cursed in annoyance as he glared fiercely at the Xuanyuan Sisters, who continued walking away. 'How dare a lowly woman who comes from the lower realm like her ignore me! Humph! If I can't get you two, then my name won't be Ning Fan! Even if I have to do it by force, I will make you guys bend your knees to me, and you both will regret rejecting me.'

In another area, someone was observing Ning Fan from a distance, and that person was muttering. 'What a foolish guy! Just because his Nan Clan was one of the major clans in our realm, he mistakenly believed he could obtain anything he desired. Unfortunately, the Xuanyuan Sisters were not random women, even though they came from the lower realms; otherwise, Senior Jian Xian would not possibly be willing to accept them. It would be better if he knew his place and stopped bothering them; otherwise, she would destroy his clan, and his ancestors would not be able to save him from her wrath.

Ling Yun was sitting cross-legged in the pitch darkness, while Ling Xi was patiently waiting beside him. She was confident that his lightning tribulations would not be as terrifying as the last time, and she was also confident that he would overcome them more easily.

Soon, Ling Yun's ten souls and ten cores emerged from his body, and those cores immediately circled around him. His nine souls hovered alertly behind him, while his devil soul lay nonchalantly on top of his head. He also picked up his nose, gazing arrogantly up at the sky.

Ling Xi raised her eyebrows as she looked at Ling Yun's devil soul. 'His devil soul is becoming increasingly arrogant now, especially since he is the biggest among the others.'

Suddenly, Luo Yu appeared beside Ling Xi and told her. "I've already brought them to this realm, so we just need to wait for Ling Yun to break through. However, he seems to be thinking about something, so he's still delaying his breakthrough."

"Yeah, you're right about that." Ling Xi answered while nodding.

However, they suddenly felt the Qi fluctuations within Ling Yun's body, and they also saw a faint smile appear on his face. As soon as he began his breakthrough, the dark sky immediately brightened, accompanied by loud rumbling sounds and white lightning that continued to flash up above them.

*Rumble...Rumble...*

"Ha ha ha." Ling Xi suddenly laughed after she felt the power of the white lightning. "It seems that the heavens are starting to give up on killing Ling Yun, especially since they have repeatedly tried to do so, and they even manifested themselves when he broke through last time, but they still didn't manage to kill him."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement as she also looked up at the sky. "I guess his breakthrough this time will be short, and it would indeed be better if he broke through to the lower Venerate Realm straight away, especially since breaking through to that stage is different from the other stages, so we no longer need to waste a lot of time waiting for him to break through."

"At first, I thought so too, but it didn't seem possible, especially since he would need a greater amount of qi to do it." Ling Xi said it with a soft sigh. "I think it would be better if we went straight to the mysterious realm after this, and he could break through the tower later."
