The profound Art of dual cultivation

Zhan Chen could feel the spirit of his teacher from the words he had spoken. He could tell that his teacher was not a ordinary person.

"As a disciple under me, you must adhere to a principle of mine." The Evil emperor looked at Zhan Chen with a stern look in his face.

Zhan Chen knew every powerful person had principle of their own. They themselves strictly adhered to those principles. So, it was obvious that they would wanted their disciples to follow those principles. He nodded his head as it was expected from him to listen to the words of his teacher.

Always do what your heart desires. Never have regrets in your life", the middle aged man looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen threw a surprised look towards his teacher as he had never thought that his principle would be so simple.

"Don't be surprised. I am saying this for a reason. Sometimes it is more difficult to follow your heart than scaling the heaven", the Evil emperor said with a profound look in his eyes. Zhan Chen nodded his head.

"Teacher, I will always follow my heart", Zhan Chen took a vow Infront of his teacher.

"Now, it is time for guiding your cultivation", the Evil emperor smiled again. Zhan Chen perked up his ears to listen to him.

"Soul manipulation and dual cultivation, These are the two techniques I have mastered but I personally liked the dual cultivation technique", Evil emperor said with a smile.

Zhan Chen's gaze turned weired after listening to him. "What is with your look, brat? You will know how amazing it is after experiencing it", the evil emperor said with a grin.

"Now, I am giving you my parting gift. Don't put up any resistance when my thoughts enter your consciousness", he said with a smile.

Zhan Chen quickly became alert after listening to him but he soon became relaxed after recalling the strength of this master of his. "What is the point in becoming alert. He could harm me anytime. Let's trust him this time", he thought to himself.

A series of visuals appeared in his mind as Zhan Chen felt weird all of a sudden.

"Alright, my will have exhausted all the energy that is stored. I will go to sleep again. Cultivate properly. Remember to train your body and soul with your cultivation level", the silhouette of the middle aged man turned into shadow again. Then it retreated back to the raised platform.

Zhan Chen became dumbfounded by the sudden disappearance of his master. "He hasn't given any suggestion for the cultivation and left just like it", he thought to himself. His spiritual energy had drained to its limit. He got out from the unique space and fell asleep again.

When he opened his eyes, he found a little girl staring at him. "Ah! Young master, you are awake", she shouted happily.

Zhan Chen looked at the little girl speechlessly but a smile appeared on his face soon after. He knew the little girl Infront of him was completely innocent and she was staying with him since his early childhood. "Little Tao, stop shouting. You will startle mother", Zhan Chen scolded her jokingly.

He looked outside and saw the bright sky thought his window. "So, it is already noon time", Zhan Chen muttered to himself.

A group of women came soon after and Zhan Chen tried to sit up on his bed.

"Uh!", a sound escaped from his mouth as he tried to move. He had actually forgotten about his body condition as today's incidents were more shocking to him than his injury.

"You little brat. No need to act brave Infront of me", one of the woman scolded Zhan Chen.

"Little Chen. No need to do anything. Take rest properly", another woman followed previous.

Zhan Chen felt frustrated as he was the one who was teasing Ling Tao as little Tao earlier.

"Aunty, I have already grown up. How can you call me little", Zhan Chen protested.

"Ah! How cute. Little Chen, are you feeling shy?", one of the woman teased Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen closed his mouth shut this time as he knew he couldn't defeat his aunts. He completely surrendered Infront of his aunts as he kept lying down on his bed.

Food was sent in and one of his aunt spoon fed him. Zhan Chen could not move his body. So, he begrudgingly accepted the affection of his aunts and let them feed him. He felt a little shy. He was already an adult in his past life and moreover he stood at the pinnacle power of the world. People had to bow whenever they saw him but now such an expert was being fed by a group of women.

Zhan Chen shook his head and thought things through. He was no longer the glorious prince of Zhan dynasty. He was Zhan Chen, a seventeen year old boy. He looked at his aunts and could feel their affection and concern for him. His heart became warm after feeling their emotions for him. "This is my family in this life. I am fortunate enough to have them around me", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

His three aunts left after spending some time with him. Zhan Chen could hear them. They were talking about him. He felt curious. So, he spread his soul consciousness to his surrounding. It was the first time he was using his soul consciousness in this life. He was not sure how much his soul could do with this weak cultivation of his.

An invisible domain spread across the surrounding and Zhan Chen could observe everything that was happening inside this domain. "Big sis, don't you think that brat was acting weird today?", Zhan Chen's second aunt looked towards his first aunt.

"Hmm! That brat was indeed acting weird. He was actually acting all modest and shy Infront of us", his first aunt nodded his head.

"I think he was feeling ashamed after being beaten like this. Otherwise, his eyes would have lit up after seeing our third sister", his second aunt added further.

"First sis, second sis, please don't talk like this. Although little Chen acts shameless sometimes but he is actually a good kid. At least he doesn't hide anything in his heart", his third aunt replied in a flushed face.

"Third aunt is best", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"You are telling me that he is a good kid. Then what about the incident that happened in his uncle's place. Our fourth sister got humiliated after this. No one knew how much pain she was hiding in her heart", his second aunt rebuked fiercely.

"Shhhh! Second sister, control yourself. Do you want to see our fourth sister saddened again", his first aunt said in a hushed voice.

"I am sorry. This is not my intention. Fourth sister is indeed pitiful but that bastard is adding to her troubles", Zhan Chen saw his second aunt grinding her teeth.

He listened for some more time. Then he withdrew his soul consciousness. His mind was in disorder after listening to the conversation between his aunts. "Mother is in pain because of me! Exactly what happened in my uncle's place that day", he thought to himself.

He recalled the incident that happened five years ago. He was caught while doing an indecent act with her cousin sister. He got thrashed by his uncle but his uncle also promised to him that he wouldn't disclose this incident to his mother. His mother caught the wind of the incident anyway. She got enraged after seeing the injuries on him. From that day, she was not going to his uncle's place.

"It looks like there are some more things that I am not aware", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"But thinking about that thing, we were not really doing anything. Aunt is the one who tried to escalate things", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He cooled down his mind and his focus moved towards the unique space inside his soul.

One after another ancient book lit up as Zhan Chen checked the name of all the book. His spiritual strength was reducing but it was less consuming than yesterday.

There were books on soul, alchemy and various kinds of martial and spiritual arts but Zhan Chen choose the book on dual cultivation first.

The name of the book was 'The profound art of dual cultivation'. Zhan Chen knew this was the cultivation method of his teacher. He felt curious. So, he decided to open it.
