Chapter 36 Hermaphrodite
update icon Updated at 2026/1/24 23:00:02

At the beginning of the emergence of the mainland, due to the shortage of personnel, there were some small families that could never comprehend the nine levels of heart throughout their lives, and Yuanhui's father was a real example.

"Ah, how long has it been since I last visited my parents?"

On a large bluestone, facing southeast, Yuanhui looked towards the direction of the Imperial City, unsure about the health of his parents.

In fact, with his efforts to cultivate in this world, his strength was probably even stronger than his father's – quite solid. Even an ordinary ninth-tier heart was not necessarily his match, let alone his father who only had a basic ninth-tier heart. Thinking about this, he smirked smugly while rubbing his hands.

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to meeting my father!"

Although his weapon could not match the versatile abilities of a Qi Mechanic, the Meteor Sword, as an entry-level weapon, was already one of the stronger intermediate weapons.

The most commonly used weapon by martial artists on the mainland is the sword, while a few like Du Laoda prefer giant hammers and battle axes. Although these two weapons have large Chi reserves and strong destructive power, they have a major drawback – they are not good at prolonged battles.

Weapons that are not good at prolonged battles naturally do not appeal to most people. The agility of a sword, despite its small storage capacity, gives him a significant advantage in extended battles.

There is a special type of weapon among weapons, known as Divine Weapons! There is not much information about divine weapons, but what sets them apart is that they are relics left behind by ancient celestial gods, like... the Divine Pearl of the Sea!?

"The Divine Pearl of the Sea!"

Having read the academy's books, Yuanhui suddenly remembered his master's Divine Pearl of the Sea. Like an excited child, he reached into his spatial bracelet and found a fist-sized pearl!

"Hehe, this should be the treasure that my master used in Hanfeng City, right?"

Yuanhui observed the pearl, possibly a Divine Weapon, left and right.

"Weird, there's nothing particularly special about its aura?"

Fiddling with it for a while without any results, he was visibly disappointed and decided to give it one more try!

"Right, what if I infuse my Chi into it?"

Yuanhui closed his eyes, carefully locating the meridians of his Chi within his body and injected a small amount of Chi.

The faint Chi had just touched the surface of the pearl when it instantly disappeared without a trace. As soon as he made contact with the pearl, his hands suddenly turned pale and lifeless, alarming him. In a thunderous motion, he swiftly severed the connection in his meridians.

"How could... is it my imagination?"

Feeling somewhat weak and pale, Yuanhui sat cross-legged, attempting to stimulate his Star Core. Unexpectedly, half of his Chi was suddenly depleted, and he was grateful that he had not injected too much earlier, or else he might have lost his soul!

It seemed that only gods could wield Divine Weapons, and it was foolish for him, a mere ninth-tier heart, to try sensing one!

In the half month since coming to the school, Yuanhui advanced his heart mindset every day. His spiritual power behind him was slowly taking on a tangible form. In future battles, if he unleashed his spiritual power, ordinary dignitaries might not be able to stand in front of him!

In this world, only dragons can contend with dragons! Since there are many who possess the power of the dragons, finding the Dragon Emperor is not an easy task. In this situation, the perception of the heart mindset is crucial, as the Yang energy can expose a warrior's identity.

The half month of cultivation should have yielded some significant results as Yuanhui excitedly tried to release his Chi.

"Boom!"

Just as he was relaxing his body, the Chi inside his body surged out like turbulent waves, blasting the poor grandmaster chair into wood chips!

"Bang!"

Wu Qiulan, who had rushed into his room boisterously, not only smashed the door to pieces with a slap when she opened it, but also shouted and screamed.

"What's going on?"

"Cough, Master Wu!"

Yuanhui was covered in dust, a little annoyed by the old man's exaggerated behavior.

“Can you come in quietly? Look, the house is almost destroyed by you!”

"Hehe."

He understood Master Wu, ever since he reached the demi-god level from practicing underwater in the demonic sea on the west side, his lifespan had increased from a normal human's one hundred years to nearly three thousand years, second only to the gods, and his body had transformed into a form resembling a twenty-something Yuanhui's elder brother!

Of course, the lifespan of an Immortal Emperor can last forever, unless they are slain by a stronger Immortal Emperor!

Ignoring Wu Qiulan again, Yuanhui calmed down, condensed his Chi, and his hands and fingers gradually turned into elusive mist-like illusions.

"Buzz..."

Vast spiritual power surged suddenly above the Chi, slowly encompassing and refining it. Yuanhui's upper body began to shimmer like a flickering flame.

"Roar!"

With a loud shout, he attempted to push the Chi that had not been absorbed by his meridians into his lower abdomen to prevent a self-destructive explosion due to uncontrolled Chi surging.

The chaotic Chi in his bloodstream also slowly calmed down, converting entirely into the power of star nuclei for storage. The star nucleus can be said to be something that restricts Chi within the human body; once it reaches nine hearts, the star nuclei will transform into star mist!

The star mist continues to condense and thicken. It will assimilate the physical body reaching its limit in the human body, thereby breaking through to the Immortal realm!

However, ever since the Immortals fell, the realm beyond the Immortal Emperor had become a deserted place.

"Oh right, the teacher once passed down a special body technique during the rebirth process!"

Thinking of this, Yuanhui sat down, calmed his mind, and let the techniques in his body flow through again, finding the Dragon Path Returning Heart technique.

Originally abandoned due to an inability to cultivate it, the present Yuanhui had long reborn, becoming a warrior of the Nine-Heart level through cultivation.

But even now, Yuanhui, who wielded Chi, still could not connect to this technique, which made him frown slightly and sigh.

"What kind of technique is this after all?"

With one hand supporting his head, he remembered asking about it with Wuxian, who just smirked.

He laughed and told Yuanhui, "Really, heh heh, how could the master be so mysterious...puh, puh, puh, is it such a mysterious technique, right?"

Thinking of the teacher's extremely obscene expression at the time, this was definitely not a good sign.

"It seems that this technique is the product of a crooked path!"

Because the teacher said so, Yuanhui believed him.

"But why did that old guy have such a mischievous smile rather than a serious expression?"

As he pondered, curiosity killed the cat, and after several hesitations, Yuanhui still took out the scroll of the Dragon Path Returning Heart technique, even though how to experiment with this thing was still something for him to research.

"But it is said to have a significant improvement in future cultivation, and can also make up for the deficiencies of all things... it might be a treasure!"

Yuanhui clasped his hands together, dispersing the Chi in his hands. Yes! If this technique has nothing to do with Chi, then what if it is switched to spiritual power, that is, the original form of soul power, what would happen?

In his thoughts, the power of the soul was infused into this mysterious technique. Seeing that Long Dao Guixin still showed no response, Yuanhui felt somewhat disheartened.

Just as he was about to give up, a golden light emitted from within the technique, instantly invigorating him.

"I finally succeeded! Haha, Master will surely..."

Thinking of the sly smile of Wu Xian and the coquettish look she made, Yuanhui couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!

However, this chill was quickly replaced by a sudden warmth that enveloped him, feeling a warm and gentle wave permeating through his body. His strong muscles seemed to soften as if melting.

A technique powered by the soul would definitely not be low-level; the higher the level of the technique described, the more unimaginable the phenomenon! Thinking of this, he felt a little excited!

"Phew!"

Yuanhui took a light breath, and the pure and gentle air converted the masculine energy within him, causing his originally tense muscles to relax for the first time, and even his bones seemed to become soft.

Night fell over the academy slowly, catalyzed by the first learning of the Long Dao Guixin technique. Feeling physically and mentally exhausted, Yuanhui collapsed heavily into his bed, drifting into a deep slumber.

During the night, he vaguely felt as if his body was shrouded by something heavy, making his sleep that night restless.

The exquisite and unparalleled feeling of the technique still lingered on his body the next day, but the slight heaviness remained.

The next day, the sleeping Moon Dragon opened his groggy eyes and looked towards his hand, suddenly becoming half awake!

Then he glanced at the equipment on his body and quickly found a mirror to look into it carefully!

"Oh my goodness!"

Yuanhui let out a thunderous cry that reverberated throughout the entire academy!

In the cafeteria, Yukari and Lina, who were eating, also looked bewildered as they searched for the origin of the sound. It seemed like the sound didn't come from the girls' dormitory.

"Lina, did you hear that just now?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Tong'er getting ready to check out the noise, Lina chuckled a few times and pulled her back to her seat.

"Never mind her, continue telling the story of Qing Shui Mountain. You haven't finished it yet!"

At this moment, Tong'er, who was leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard, slowly opened one eye while sitting elegantly in the pavilion, crossing her legs gracefully, showing off her fair and slender legs.

The sudden pig-like howl made Tong'er spit out her tea in surprise, then she complained while shaking her sleeves.

"Tsk, could it be another fat goblin who gained a few pounds?"

"But there's no need to scream so loudly, as if afraid that no one would know, huh?"

In the dormitory, Yuanhui was horrified to realize that, although this technique had tripled his speed, he... couldn't believe it.

"How on earth could I be this cute!"

Yuanhui saw in the mirror not himself, but a young girl of extraordinary beauty, described as having the charm of a fairy descending to the mortal world and the beauty of a closed moon and shy flower!

"Why did my appearance change like this!?"

Yet the mirror showed a delicate face filled with a frightened expression, dealing him a significant blow.

"Since there's a way to change like this, then this bizarre body technique must also be able to change me back!"

Activating Chi to stimulate the divine consciousness, he thought if he injected soul power into the technique, he would revert to his original form.

Yuanhui thought, then gathered Chi in his hands, activated the soul power into his brow, and used Chi to inject his mental power into the Long Dao Guixin technique...

However, this time the Dragon Path Returning Heart Technique seemed to have no response at all.

"Are you kidding me!"

Shame overwhelmed his reason, and the suddenness of the situation made him somewhat frenzied.

"What kind of ridiculous technique is this? How do I…"

Suddenly, he felt an eerie aura all over his body, and the killing intent became even more intense, causing the floor in the room to be unable to withstand the evil aura and start to incinerate.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Hey, cousin, it's time to wake up!"
