Chapter 69

In the early morning, the sun slowly rose, and the warm sunlight quietly spread. Last night, a heavy rain had fallen all night long, only stopping in the early hours of the morning, leaving the entire battlefield shrouded in a thick layer of moisture. The trees in the courtyard were adorned with droplets of water, which sparkled like crystals in the sunlight, while a few birds happily played and chirped among the branches.

Xiaozhan woke up feeling warm and comfortable all over. Thinking about the passionate night with Shiyi, though they hadn't reached the point of losing their souls, the dazzling and soul-stirring techniques of their lips and tongues still made him feel elated and refreshed.

Women who practiced the art of seduction were truly captivating. Their lips and tongues were a feast for the eyes and senses. Every move, every expression was so beautiful that it made one's heart race and defenses crumble.

The scenes from last night seemed vividly before his eyes, making Xiaozhan feel both physically and mentally heated, and all his sleepiness vanished.

A set of new clothes was placed beside the pillow, undoubtedly prepared by the four women yesterday. Feeling moved, Xiaozhan got dressed and got out of bed. Recalling his experience in the Heavenly Capital, a heavy feeling suddenly weighed on his heart.

The five realms of seduction: after reaching the "Bone-Deep" realm, men could only mourn their fate and be at the mercy of these women. The fourth realm was even more terrifying, capable of burning a man to death. The feeling was too frightening! Xiaozhan didn't want to experience it again; he had to find a way to overcome it. However, seduction techniques couldn't be mastered overnight. He was currently only at the "Flesh and Skin" realm, and it was unknown when he would reach the "Bone-Deep" realm. But he couldn't afford to wait any longer. The War Clan had many seductive women, and just one Tianjiao had already given him a hard time. If more came, his life would be over.

As a man, how could he let women have all the power to control his release? That would be too much of a failure, too sad!

What should he do?

Ordinary cultivation methods wouldn't work; he needed something that could show immediate results, ideally a one-step solution. The War God Hall contained a vast collection of martial arts manuals, and there might be a solution there.

Thinking this, Xiaozhan had breakfast and then asked the two wet nurses to help collect blank paper, the more the better. Of course, food and ink were also necessary, as he wasn't sure how long he would stay in the War God Hall. After a busy morning, with the help of Zhan Yanyan, he gathered no less than 100,000 blank books and had her carry them to the small island in the lake.

By noon, the mist on the island had not yet dispersed. The two of them strolled along the forest path, chatting softly. Through their conversation, Xiaozhan learned that the Martial Pavilion had officially opened, and all clan members could enter to choose their desired manuals. Additionally, all clan members under 30 years old would be gathered to undergo the War God Portrait test, with the hope of entering the War God Hall and receiving the legacy of their ancestors.

A member of the War Clan had only one chance in their lifetime to enter the War God Hall, but Xiaozhan could enter at any time by wearing the War God Armor. The mural on the wall had disappeared, and a golden door had appeared. After bidding farewell to Aunt Yan, he stepped through the door alone.

Climbing the 999 steps again, he noticed that the strange force that had enveloped them was gone, and there was no longer the feeling of being weighed down and unable to move. Slightly disappointed, Xiaozhan quickly passed the 999 steps and entered the War God Hall once more.

Upon entering the main hall, Xiaozhan's gaze fell on the golden throne, and he suddenly noticed that the two female armors standing beside the throne were gone. He was taken aback and thought, "Only clan members under 30 can enter the War God Hall. Could someone have come and taken the armors?"

After a moment's thought, Xiaozhan shook his head. He couldn't figure this out right away, so he decided to deal with it after selecting the manuals. He summoned Xiaomie, and together they headed to the martial arts library. The library contained an immense number of manuals, and even with "Miaoshoukongkong" (a term for a skilled thief), it wasn't an easy task. Fortunately, with Xiaomie's help, Xiaozhan wouldn't have to do it alone, or he would have been overwhelmed.

This time, in addition to finding manuals on seduction techniques, he also planned to copy a large number of manuals on sword techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, and more. Xiaozhan was determined to use all 100,000 blank books before leaving.

The copying of the manuals took ten days. During this time, Xiaozhan had to leave a few times to get food. Even after ten days, he had only scratched the surface of the vast collection in the library. After selecting nearly 100,000 manuals, including many on seduction techniques, Xiaozhan still hadn't found a manual that could show immediate results, which left him feeling quite disappointed.

Soon, Xiaozhan arrived at the section of the library that housed the four great manuals. This section contained not only the four great manuals but also many other supreme martial arts. Compared to the vast library, these manuals were undoubtedly the pinnacle of the War Clan's martial arts.

Since they were the best, Xiaozhan had no reason to miss them. Without hesitation, he copied all of them, which took another day. With a satisfied smile, Xiaozhan was about to leave when his eyes suddenly lit up. In an inconspicuous corner of the library, he saw a manual.

Unlike the other manuals neatly arranged on the shelves, this one seemed to have been carelessly discarded. Xiaozhan's curiosity was immediately piqued, and he eagerly approached and picked it up.

"The Treasure of Passion and Desire?"

Seeing the title, Xiaozhan's eyes lit up, and he eagerly opened it.

"This treasure is the ultimate gem that every man dreams of, the nemesis of all seductive women."

The nemesis of seductive women! This was exactly what he was looking for. He hoped it was as powerful as described, so he wouldn't have to fear Tianjiao anymore. Reading this, Xiaozhan's excitement grew, and he continued with great anticipation.

"People often speak of the power of passion and desire, which is actually composed of two forces: passion and desire. These two forces are a form of spiritual energy, but they differ from ordinary spiritual energy. They are无形无色, permeating all kinds of living beings. The power of passion includes familial love, friendship, romantic love, and even hatred and pain. The power of desire is even broader, as long as one is human, they will have desire. The powers of passion and desire complement and coexist with each other. Passion can contain desire, and desire can contain passion. The purest form of passion can generate desire, and the purest form of desire can generate passion."

"The cultivation of passion and desire can be divided into three types."

"Type One: Passion without Desire. This involves the cultivation of pure passion between a man and a woman, both mentally and physically."

"Mental cultivation does not require physical contact; it only needs the fusion of passion to refine each other's passion. Physical cultivation requires the man and woman to engage in intimate activities to achieve a balance of yin and yang, and to refine each other's passion."

"Type Two: Desire without Passion. This involves the cultivation of pure desire between a man and a woman, also both mentally and physically."

"Mental cultivation does not require physical contact; it only needs the fusion of desire to achieve the effect of intimate activities. Physical cultivation requires the man and woman to engage in intimate activities to refine each other's desire."

"Type Three: Passion and Desire. This is a combination of the first two types, where the man and woman cultivate both passion and desire, fusing their hearts and spirits, and refining both passion and desire, both mentally and physically."

"The ultimate form of passion and desire cultivation involves the refinement of the intertwined threads of passion and desire. The highest level of cultivation focuses on refining these intertwined threads, with intimate activities serving as a means. Lower-level cultivation focuses on intimate activities, with the threads of passion and desire acting as catalysts. Ordinary cultivation involves the fusion of yin and yang energies, achieving a balance of yin and yang, and can be practiced without a man and woman, as long as there is a balance of yin and yang."

The opening of the treasure manual explained the principles of passion and desire, which were quite profound and made Xiaozhan's head spin. What he was interested in was why this manual was called the nemesis of all seductive women. After flipping a few pages, a line caught his eye, making his eyes light up and his entire body excited.
