Volume 1: Sword Heart Chapter 69: The Treasure of Desire

  Early in the morning, the sun rises slowly, and the warm sunlight falls quietly. Last night's torrential rain lasted all night until this morning, covering the entire valley with a thick layer of moisture. The trees in the courtyard are covered with dew drops, shining brightly under the sunlight, and several birds play and chirp happily on the branches.

  As he came to, Xiao Zhan felt warm and cozy all over, an indescribable comfort. Thinking back to last night's entanglement with Shi Ya, although they hadn't lost themselves completely, the bewildering, soul-stirring, bone-melting skill of their lips and tongues still left him breathless and exhilarated beyond measure.

  The woman who practices the art of seduction is truly moving, her lips and tongue are a feast for the eyes and senses, every move, every gesture is so beautiful that it intoxicates people's hearts, so charming that it makes people surrender.

  The scene of last night is still vivid in my mind, making Xiao Zhan's body and mind hot with excitement, all sleepiness gone.

  A brand new set of clothes was placed beside the pillow, which must have been hastily made by the four girls yesterday. As he got dressed and out of bed, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but think of his experience in Tianfu yesterday, and suddenly felt a heavy heart.

  The fifth realm of seduction, after entering the bones, men can only mourn in silence, allowing themselves to be bullied by them. The fourth realm is even more terrifying, it can absolutely make people's desires burn their bodies to death. That feeling is too scary! Xiao Zhan doesn't want to experience it again, he must find a way to overcome it. However, the seduction technique cannot be mastered in just one day, and now he has only reached the skin and flesh realm, who knows when he will reach the bone-entering realm. But now he can't wait even for a moment, there are many female demons in the Warring States period, and just one Tian Jiao has already made him suffer greatly, if several more come, then his life is over.

  As a man, how can I give up all the rights of venting to women? That's too sad!

  What should I do now?

  Ordinary practice methods won't work, he needs a method that can produce immediate results, best if it's instantaneous. The War God Temple is open, and the martial arts secret books in the armory are as vast as the sea of smoke, perhaps a solution can be found.

  Think and act, Xiao Zhan used the early breakfast to let the two wet nurses help collect blank paper, requiring as many as possible. Of course, he couldn't confirm how long he would stay in the Temple of War, so food and ink were essential. After a busy morning until noon, they finally collected nearly 100,000 volumes of blank books with Zhan's cooperation, and then she carried them to fly to a small island in the lake.

  At noon, the thin fog on the small island had not yet dispersed. The two strolled along the forest path, talking in hushed tones. Through casual conversation, Xiao Zhan learned that the Wu Ge had officially opened, and all clan members could enter to choose their own secret skills. At the same time, they would also gather all clan members under the age of 30 to take the test of the War God's portrait, competing for the opportunity to enter the War God Temple and obtain the legacy of the clan's ancestors.

  People of the war clan have only one chance to enter the Temple of War God in their lifetime, while Xiao Zhan can enter it at any time as long as he wears the armor of the War God. The strong mural disappeared, and a golden gate appeared. After bidding farewell to Yan Niang, he stepped through the gate alone.

  When he stepped on the 999 steps again, except for the thick spiritual energy on the stairs, the strange power that shrouded it had disappeared. There was no feeling of being pressed by gravity and unable to move like the first time he climbed. Unfortunately, Xiao Zhan quickly passed through the 999 steps and re-entered the Temple of War God.

  As soon as Xiao Zhan's gaze fell on the golden throne, he suddenly discovered that the two female armor standing beside the throne had disappeared. Xiao Zhan was taken aback and thought to himself: "Only members of the clan under the age of 30 can enter the Temple of War Gods, could it be that someone has been here before and taken away the two sets of armor?"

  After a moment's thought, Xiao Zhan shook his head and thought that this problem couldn't be solved for the time being. He would deal with it after selecting the secret recipe and leaving. For now, he called out Xiao Mi, and one person and one instrument spirit headed towards the armory. The secret recipes in the armory were as vast as a sea of smoke, even if there was "Miao Shou Kong Kong" here, it wouldn't be an easy task. Fortunately, there was Xiao Mi around, otherwise, relying solely on Xiao Zhan alone would make him extremely busy selecting the desired secret recipe.

  This time, apart from wanting to find the secret recipe for Meizhao, he also wanted to copy a large number of knife methods, sword methods, palm methods, finger methods and other secret recipes. Xiao Zhan made up his mind that if he didn't use up 100,000 blank books, he would never leave.

  The transcription of the secret book took ten days, during which time Xiao Zhan went out several times for food. However, even after using ten days, he only touched the tip of the iceberg in the vast sea of secret books in the armory. After selecting nearly 100,000 volumes of secret books, among which there were countless ones about Meizhuan, Xiao Zhan still couldn't find a single book that could produce immediate results, which made him feel extremely regretful.

  Before long, Xiao Zhan arrived at the armory where the four great classics were stored. There are not only the four great classics here, but also many other extraordinary skills. Compared to that vast and boundless armory, the classics here are undoubtedly the top existence in the martial arts of the war clan.

  Since it was top-notch, Xiao Zhan had no reason to miss it. Without saying a word, he copied everything down in one go, and when he finished, another day had passed. With a satisfied smile, just as Xiao Zhan was about to leave, his eyes suddenly lit up, and in an inconspicuous corner of the armory, he saw a secret manual.

  Compared to the other secret books that were neatly placed on the bookshelf, this one seemed to have been casually discarded. Xiao Zhan's curiosity was suddenly piqued, and with great anticipation, he quickly walked forward and picked it up.

  "Kama Sutra?"

  Seeing this name, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up and he immediately became spirited, eagerly waiting to flip it open.

  "This treasure is a precious gem that men have been dreaming of, and it's the nemesis of all the seductive women in the world."

  The nemesis of the demoness! Isn't this exactly what I've been searching for? I truly hope he's as formidable as he claims, so that I won't have to fear Tian Jiao, that demoness, anymore. Upon seeing these words, Xiao Zhan's interest was immediately piqued, and with unparalleled anticipation, he continued reading on.

  "What people often refer to as the power of lust is actually composed of two forces: emotions and desires. These two forces are a kind of spiritual power, but different from general spiritual powers, they are intangible and colorless, permeating all living beings. The power of emotions includes kinship, friendship, love, etc., even hatred and suffering belong to the power of emotions; while the power of desire is more extensive, as long as one is human, there will be desires. The powers of emotions and desires complement each other, generating and accompanying each other. Emotions can envelop desires, and desires can also envelop emotions. The purest emotions can produce desires, and the purest desires can also produce emotions."

  "Emotion and desire can be cultivated together in three ways."

  "The first type: having emotions without desires. This refers to the pure emotional energy between men and women, which is cultivated through dual refinement in both spiritual and physical aspects."

  "Spiritual dual cultivation does not require physical contact, only the fusion of emotional energy can refine each other's emotional energy. Physical dual cultivation, on the other hand, requires male-female union to achieve harmony between yin and yang, and emotional fusion to refine each other's emotional energy."

  "The second type: Having desire but no emotions. This refers to the pure cultivation of desire between men and women, which is also divided into spiritual and physical dual cultivation."

  "Spiritual dual cultivation does not require physical contact, as long as the power of desire can merge through empty space, it can achieve the same effect as cloud and rain. As for physical cultivation, it requires men and women to directly engage in cloud and rain, practicing dual cultivation with desire, refining the power of desire."

  "The third kind: with emotions and desires. This is a combination of the first two, where male and female emotions and desires intersect, heart and spirit blend together, refining the power of emotions and desires, allowing for simultaneous cultivation of body and spirit."

  "The extreme of emotions turns into threads, the extreme of desires turns into lines. The two kinds of forces are intertwined together. The top-level technique for cultivating both emotions and desires is to refine these intertwined emotional and desirous threads as the main focus, with yin-yang dual cultivation and cloud-rain being just a means. Lower-level dual cultivation focuses on yin-yang dual cultivation, with emotional and desirous threads only playing the role of a catalyst. Ordinary dual cultivation involves the fusion of two kinds of forces, yin and yang complementing each other. This kind of dual cultivation does not require male and female, as long as there is one yin and one yang, it can be cultivated."

  The treasure book starts with the way of emotions and desires, these theories are very mysterious, making him dizzy. What he's interested in now is why this treasure book is called the nemesis of all demon girls. After flipping through two pages, a line of words caught his eye, making his eyes shine brightly, and he became excited.
