132 Immortal Garden

BoredDreamer: Hi guys, you might feel lost reading a chapter after a long time so I would recommend you guys reading the last half of the previous chapter. Thanks for reading.

/////////////////////

Standing in the garden, Tian Shen felt a bit overwhelmed. As far as eyes could go, he could only see flowers. In some parts different colors of flowers were mixed, and in the others, they were separated by color and kind. Just a glance and anyone would know this was an Immortal Garden!

Breaking away from his reverie Tian Shen scratched his head. The Heavenly Emperor Palace was just too magical. Even if he took a break for a while and explored the palace, he wouldn't be able to finish going through all the facilities.

There were just too many!

So he left the duty of exploring the limits of the Mortal Realm and what the palace had to offer to the girls. Even Xing Yu was helping them out.

At first, Shen thought that with Xing Yu he wouldn't have to search the palace. Since she lived here, she would be familiar with the palace. Though it turned out completely opposite of that.

According to her, the palace only had a few things at that time. Like the living quarter and the cultivation ground. Even then, they were not the same. The cultivation ground at that time was far inferior. She never saw the throne room either.

So everything was complicated.

And Gong Shang wasn't nearly as reliable as he wanted. While she might be millions of years old, her mental state was still young. If Shen didn't say what exactly he needed, she wouldn't help him with it either.

Once he asked her what kind of beneficial things the palace had, she just said too many. And when Shen asked her to bring him to a random facility, she replied that it would be dangerous and what he exactly needed. Creating circles of confusion.

Tian Shen thought for a moment before marking his current location as Immortal Garden in the spiritual hologram of the Heavenly Immortal Palace. He decided to mark everything he comes in contact with.

When his thought reached this, he immediately pulled Luan Luan on his shoulder. The Heavenly Immortal Palace was millions of years of old and this garden existed for such a long time. It wouldn't be weird if any flowers mutated to blood-sucking plants or maybe even dangerous than that.

It was then Tian Shen realized he didn't study the unique flowers of this world. Aside from some herbs, he really didn't know much. He reached out a flower, then hesitated, ultimately decided against plucking any flowers.

Luan Luan obviously protested. She wanted a flower. There were so many flowers, how could she go without even one? With a slight motion of his palm, a common herb similar to poppy flowers popped up, which was enough to entertain the little girl.

Before she lost her interest, Shen waved at Gong Shang and teleported outside the Palace. Everything in the garden looked seemingly normal, which was too normal for millions of years old flowers. No way in hell was he going to pluck a flower only to be hunted by a field of angry vines.

After warning Mingyue Gelou about the complexity and dangers of the palace, Shen sent another command for Gong Shang to block the garden for others.

Wenren Wushuang and Yiye Jiange started to move everything from the Misty Peak. Since Shen left his word previously, Yiye Jiange was prepared but she still felt herself shaking as one after one the memories of this place started to surface in her mind. After some time, she smiled. Her memory of this place was desolate and a bit cold. The only warmth she felt in this place was after Tian Shen and Luan Luan's appearance. Short but they were her sweet memories of this place.

...

Tian Shen didn't help Yiye Jiange or Zhu Qing to move inside the Mortal Realm. He thought it was a good time to explore the Palace but after handing Luan Luan to Feng Wuxi, his mental strength felt drained.

Specifically speaking, he had been analyzing Absolute Duo Technique and Spring Spirit Palace without rest for a long time.

Rubbing his temple, Shen moved to the top of the palace with a thought. Without even shooting a glance to his surrounding he laid his back on the golden floor.

Looking at the sky growing dark, Tian Shen felt lazy. Like the days before the Apocalypse on Earth, he would always goof around with his friends and girlfriend and before dusk lay in a field and watch as the night creeps in. It has been long since then but laying on the palace and looking at the creeping night, he felt it was just yesterday.

Unconsciously a sigh left his throat.

Seriously unimaginable, to think such weird technique with my cheat. It even helped in my cultivation quite a lot. Now that I think about it, my cultivation increased by multiple grades when I first slept with Yu Ruyan. I thought it was because it was the first time but maybe this is one of the reasons... No! it might not be as bad as I think! It might have come from Yu Ruyan, but its not necessarily a bad thing. Tian Shen let out a tired sigh and became slightly hopeful.

Indeed, before he fully understood the Absolute Duo Technique, he couldn't label it as evil. But he couldn't just cultivate it either. Which meant he couldn't become intimate with any girls either. After all, being intimate equaled to cultivating the Absolute Duo Technique.

And here I was supposed to enjoy blissful sexual life thanks to the Mortal Realm. Tian Shen silently shed a drop of tear in his heart.

He had a houseful of lambs ready for his picking yet, he couldn't touch either of them.

Ignoring the little lambs he couldn't touch, also had no interest in, he had a variety to choose from. Sure, he couldn't touch Wenren Sisters because of their respective reasons but even without them, he already had his own small harem!

To not be able to enjoy how he expected...

It was really his playful and miserable fate!

While he was distressed, a voice reached out to him, "You seemed to be troubled by something."

The honey-coated natural voice was enough to let Tian Shen who it was. He didn't turn around. Releasing his spiritual sense, he found Xing Yu sitting on a well-decorated chair with a thick and long history book resting on her much desirable thigh. On the table, there were several books of various sizes and thicknesses. As for where she got them, Tian Shen had no idea but they were definitely not from the palace.

It was also then Tian Shen realized, the top of the palace wasn't exactly as plain as he thought. No, it wasn't plain in any way. Several domes stood in an orderly manner and in the middle there was a huge stage, possibly for mock-fighting and exchanging pointers. Though the classy vibe indicated it was only for the natives of the palace.

Tian Shen hesitated for a moment before speaking his mind, "Yea. I think there's some problem with the duo technique I cultivate, it might have fallen in the category of the evil ones."

"Just stop cultivating it then. What's the problem?"

"Well, if it was that easy wouldn't I have already done so?"

Xing Yu closed the book and left it on the table. She stared at him and said slowly, "If it's about duo techniques I can help. I have seen the world's best to worst Duo Techniques."

Even so, Shen didn't become hopeful, "You surely didn't see that guy's duo technique."

"That guy?" Xing Yu asked but she instantly understood what he meant, "Ah! You mean the Absolute Duo Technique? Well, I did see it."

"Yes, sure... wait, you did?"

"Yes. I told you that he couldn't pass his strengthening technique due to some limitations we don't know of, but he did pass the techniques he created himself.

"Especially Absolute Duo Technique, it's a technique which was vital to our race. Though around my time only a handful few used that technique, I still have a good grasp on it." Xing Yu patiently explained.

Tian Shen immediately jumped up. His mental exhaustion was pushed to the back of his head. He felt as energized as ten thousand bulls running their way to mate. He almost grabbed her body and shake her while demanding to spit everything out but he stopped one inch away from her body.

It wasn't that she gave him a threatening glare or anything, but her alluring eyes were exceptionally calm that he found himself a bit hot yet cool-headed.

He took the chair opposite her and pushed the books to the sides and calmly waited.

Taking his signal Xing Yu smiled, "I am a bit impressed that you seem to be never affected by my eyes. It's not related to your cultivation technique, do you cultivate any spiritual technique?"

"Not yet, I don't have any related techniques for now." Shen didn't mind her inquiry and gave her an honest reply. He was also curious about something so he decided to ask, "Wasn't your natural charms and aura sealed along with hairs? What are you talking about now? And what do you mean by it WAS one of the vital techniques."

If it was Lust Race's charming abilities, Shen had little to no confidence to resist them for more than a breath and Xing Yu seemed special even among her race. Also, the hair and eyes of Lust Race were proof of their power rather than their racial identity.

"Most of it is sealed but my eyes still have some. You remember the day before the tournament, right? In reality, I never cast any illusion or skills. They just happen to meet my eyes. As for why it was, we'll go into it after some time."

There was no need to say more and Shen didn't want to hear about this either. He just eagerly waited for her to talk about the Duo Technique.

And seeing him like that Xing Yu helplessly shook her head. "Before we go into whether this technique is good or evil, tell me how much you know about the one who walked the Path of Absolute."

"Huh?" It was definitely surprising. Rather than surprising, he thought he would never encounter such a question but to think it came so early...

If it's about Tian Shen's imaginary master then what he knew was equal to nothing.

"Then, let's start with the creator of the Duo Technique. Every technique represents its creator. I'm not talking about a Peak Cultivator creating a random low-level technique. I'm talking about a Peak Cultivator creating a highest-level technique. The techniques they create are the representation of them. That's why let's start with him, Murong Wudie, also known as the Absolute Cultivator, The Strongest Shura, The Wealth God, Hoarder, and too many that lost with time or unknown. Do note, I am only speaking what was recorded in our legacy."
