Battle Through the Heavens: Heavenly comprehension

After undergoing special "training," Yun Yun had clearly gained quite a bit of experience. With a few teasing strokes, she quickly had Xiao Yan burning with desire as well.

However, Xiao Yan couldn't quite understand—it wasn't like he was going to die tomorrow. Was there really a need to be in such a hurry?

Even if the goal was to leave behind descendants, there was no need to consume this much!

The medicine Yun Yun had taken was already of high quality, and on top of that, she had consumed an excessive dose. As a result, the Dou Qi of a Dou Huang powerhouse had completely failed her.

Moreover, if she didn't find a way to vent this raging heat, the accumulated medicinal energy could lead to irreversible consequences.

Of course, given Yun Yun's physique as a Dou Huang powerhouse, her life wouldn't be in danger.

But if her internal environment was ravaged by the violent medicinal energy, she might never be able to bear children again…

What Yun Yun had believed to be "harmless" was, in reality, a medicine with a very clear purpose—everyone knew what it was for. As long as the effects were properly "released," not only would it be harmless, but it might even lead to a "happy outcome."

But Yun Yun had only sought the medicinal effects while ignoring the natural conclusion that should follow. Naturally, this brought no benefits whatsoever.

Xiao Yan sucked in a sharp breath, summoning immense willpower to pull away from the ripe "cherry tomato" before him.

After a brief moment of thought, his hands moved without hesitation, gliding over her jade-like skin, smooth and tender as warm jade.

Finally, they settled on Yun Yun's flat, toned stomach, devoid of even a trace of excess fat.

Pure soul power flowed from Xiao Yan's palm, slowly spreading across her abdomen, temporarily suppressing the medicinal effects.

Under this external suppression, the blush on Yun Yun's cheeks gradually faded, and her feverish skin slowly cooled.

With time being of the essence, Xiao Yan's method of suppressing the medicinal energy was swift and decisive. Yun Yun's elegant cheongsam was torn into countless strips, scattering across the ground.

Now clad only in her Sea Heart Armor and a pair of white thigh-high stockings, Yun Yun—already wearing little—was cradled in Xiao Yan's arms like a koala. He nuzzled her forehead and asked, "What exactly happened?"

The reason he had temporarily suppressed Yun Yun's restlessness was simple: he was too curious!

Why would she suddenly do something so reckless?

It wasn't like she had some unique cultivation goal like he did…

Yun Yun clung tightly to Xiao Yan, resting her chin on his shoulder, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.

If she had to explain, she might just die of shame.

This was undoubtedly karma—she had tried to play a trick on him, only to end up falling into her own trap.

Her slender arms wrapped around Xiao Yan's neck, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, shimmering like crystal, as if they might spill at any moment.

"My earlier technique can only suppress the effects for a short while. If you don't tell me, I'll have no choice but to hand you over to the Heavenly Apes," Xiao Yan half-coaxed, half-threatened.

"You—!" Yun Yun turned her head sharply, her crystal-clear tears tracing a path down her cheeks.

If she were really handed over to those disgusting creatures, she'd rather just die on the spot.

Xiao Yan kissed her gently and stroked her velvety-smooth back. "Alright, alright, just tell me."

Only then did Yun Yun, between soft gasps, reluctantly and shyly recount the whole story.

At first, she had wanted Xiao Yan to experience the unbearable heat to speed up his auxiliary cultivation. Later, she had hoped it would help him control himself better…

"I saw that you ate it without any issues, so I tried a little myself. But when I didn't feel anything, I just used it as seasoning. And then… well, this happened." Yun Yun bit her luscious red lip, frustration evident in her voice.

Why was she the one suffering? She hadn't even eaten as much as he had!

"You're adorably naive." Xiao Yan booped her nose and couldn't help but laugh.

To enhance the power of the Netherworld Poison Flame and other Heavenly Flames, he had consumed countless potent poisons and medicinal liquids. His body's resistance to toxins and drugs was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

While the medicine Yun Yun had bought was of decent quality, its formula was practically common knowledge—it wouldn't have any effect on him.

"I knew you'd laugh at me!" Yun Yun wrinkled her nose. Since she had already lost all dignity today, she might as well lean into it. Her body, soft as if boneless, pressed tightly against Xiao Yan, her flushed face utterly captivating.

Xiao Yan took another look at the seasonings and finally understood why Yun Yun hadn't noticed the effects at first.

The spices he used were made from high-quality medicinal herbs, and when mixed together, they could temporarily counteract the medicine's potency.

After all this talking, the effects of Xiao Yan's earlier soul-powered acupressure had reached their limit.

Yun Yun's body temperature began to rise again, her small hands wandering restlessly over Xiao Yan's body, her breath carrying a sweet, intoxicating fragrance.

"Time for the antidote." Holding Yun Yun's long, slender legs, Xiao Yan stood and carried her toward the cave.

As the dark cave entrance drew nearer, Yun Yun's heart pounded with nervousness, her cheeks once again flushing a tempting shade of crimson.

"Yan, can't you… tell me a story or something?" Yun Yun breathed, her voice scorching.

Xiao Yan found this amusing. "You don't actually think I'm some divine monk, do you? That a few words from me can 'liberate' a little temptress like you?"

"You ate way too much of that medicine…" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth as this tsundere of a vixen began eyeing his most precious treasure.

Retrieving a snow-white gown from Yun Yun's storage ring, Xiao Yan tossed her onto the stone bed with a hint of roughness.

Yun Yun let out a pained moan, but this only intensified the medicine's effects. Her cheeks burned red, and her eyes gleamed with a drunken, feverish fire, staring at Xiao Yan as if she wanted to devour him whole.

The mention of storytelling reminded Xiao Yan of the step he had skipped due to Yun Yun's interference.

Before Huineng, there was another monk, Shenxiu, who had composed a verse:

"The body is the Bodhi tree,

The mind a bright mirror's stand.

Polish it diligently,

And let no dust alight."

Though later generations favored Huineng's approach, Shenxiu was no ordinary monk—his realm surpassed that of many, making him a rare master of his craft.

The difference between the two lay in "sudden enlightenment" versus "gradual enlightenment."

Xiao Yan only had a passing understanding of Zen Buddhism, but based on his own cultivation journey, the latter resonated more with him.

No matter how great one's comprehension, it was impossible to reach the Dou Emperor realm in a single thought or break through to the Dominator level in an instant.

Strength required continuous tempering, a process of relentless cultivation to ascend step by step.

[Through combining your cultivation experience with Buddhist teachings, you have attained sudden enlightenment. You have comprehended the secret technique Vajra Four Truths.]

[Vajra Four Truths: The mind arises where nothing abides. All phenomena are illusory. To see beyond form is to see the Tathagata.]

[Techniques: Vajra Prajna, Wrathful Depth, Illuminating All Dharmas, Freedom in Emptiness.]

Xiao Yan realized that his previous understanding of the Fallen Heart Flame had been skewed, leading his enlightenment astray.

The Fallen Heart Flame had a profound effect on soul power—it wasn't merely about inducing unusual emotions.

To cultivate to the point of remaining unmoved by temptation, like wood or stone, was to empty the mind in silent meditation, devoid of thought. But this would only lead to complete nihilism, severing all connections.

As Xiao Yan reflected, Yun Yun—unable to wait any longer—used her nimble, stocking-clad feet to undo his belt.

The medicine's effects had her raven-black hair swaying with every movement, her snow-white skin glistening with a fine layer of fragrant sweat.

Her delicate cheeks burned like fire, and with each breath, her parted lips released soft, melodious whimpers.

Xiao Yan pressed her long, slender legs against his shoulders and transformed into a demon-subduing vajra.
