Shi Feiyang had arrived at Gupo Ridge and came to the entrance of Yellow Lion Cave, the former residence of the Golden Needle Saint Mother. He was already familiar with the situation inside the cave.

He then took out the Heaven and Earth Harmony Fragrance and lit it outside the cave, casting a spell to send the fragrance wafting in through the cracks of the cave's entrance...

Xiong Xue'er, not yet twenty years old, was born strong and imposing. Coupled with his daily diligent practice of Daoist Techniques and Qi Refinement, his vitality was at its peak, and he had boundless energy to spare.

But he heeded Cang Lingzi's strict precepts and always guarded the Yang Pass, his Primordial Qi never released. Though no longer a virgin, he was still barely considered "whole."

In the past, he adhered to this routine. Following the mental method taught by his master Cang Lingzi, no matter how emotionally entangled Shi Longgu became, he always managed to remain rational. He also used this method to temper his own spiritual state, preparing for the day when he could refine the ultimate skill of his master, the Separation and Reunion Divine Light.

But that day, the Heaven and Earth Harmony Elder came to perform Incense Burning Demon Refining. Unknowingly, their Yin Yang Primordial Qi began to interchange; Shi Longgu's Yuan Yin had leaked, while his well-guarded Yuan Yang, like a floodgate opening, began to surge outward.

At first, he could maintain his true self and recollect his Primordial Qi, but eventually, he struggled to control himself.

"Not good!" He didn't know what was happening today, but according to his master, Yuan Yang must not be lost!

He urgently tried to retreat and separate but was overwhelmed by desire and could not stop himself.

However, he hesitated only slightly, then things spiraled out of control...

The Dan Scripture says:

When Heaven and Earth exchange their essence, the sun and moon support each other,

Male Yang spreads the profound, while female Yin transforms into abundance.

Chaos intermingles, as a sovereign lays foundations,

Cultivation nurtures and shelters, and the spirit concentrates to form the body.

As Heaven and Earth achieve harmony, the pearl is secretly formed in the womb.

Xiong Xue'er was terrified and retreated under the bed, standing there in shock, realizing his life might be ruined. His master had such great expectations for him, which were now utterly dashed. Filled with regret and fear, he hugged his head, crouched on the ground, and cried loudly.

Shi Longgu was still unaware of what had happened. She only felt that ever since she married Xiong Xue'er, she had never felt so blissful. She was lying there contentedly when suddenly she heard crying and asked in surprise what was wrong.

Xiong Xue'er explained the situation to her. Shi Longgu felt a secret thrill; she had long disliked how strictly her husband was disciplined, leaving her to live like a widow for most of the year. Now that his Daoist cultivation was compromised, his master would likely not press him to be as diligent, meaning he could spend more time with her!

She got out of bed and spoke softly, comforting Xiong Xue'er.

Xiong Xue'er cried and said, "My master maintained his virginal state for over five hundred years. Originally, it was fated for him to face a catastrophe, but years ago, a different being altered his fate so he could survive. Looking back, it was both shocking and perilous. He could have attained Daoist Cultivation and become a Heavenly Immortal or at the very least, achieve Earth Immortal status and gain Eternal Life, avoiding the ordeal of the forty-nine grand tribulations every five hundred years.

He said I had a predestined connection with you from the start, offering me two paths: one, like himself, to defy fate and sever our predestined bond forcefully; another is to marry you and devote myself to Cultivation, laying a solid foundation for the future, only becoming a Daoist after a cycle of Soldier Disintegration.

Initially, I chose the first path, hoping to bypass calamity like my master and achieve Dao in one life. My master wanted me to test myself within the Separation and Reunion Divine Light, but my nature wasn't perfect, and I couldn't avoid the temptation of women. Even if I didn't marry you, I would fall for another, so I took the second path.

Despite that, I thought I could still... As long as the Yuan Yang was preserved, my Cultivation would progress much faster, and Daoist achievement was still a possibility. If not, I could lay a strong foundation for the next life before the forty-nine grand tribulations arrived. After reincarnation, I could immediately continue Cultivation without forgetting my past. But now... it's all ruined!"

He sobbed inconsolably, crying even more bitterly. Shi Longgu, feeling sorry for him, came over to hold him, suggesting he lie on the bed first, "We are one as husband and wife, let's think of a solution together..."

"No! I must hurry back and report this to my master," Xiong Xue'er said as he stood up and quickly dressed.

Shi Longgu initially did not realize the severity of the issue, but at that moment, it dawned on her and she threw herself at him, tremblingly asking, "If you go back like this, won't your master demand that you immediately undergo Soldier Disintegration?"

Xiong Xue'er nodded, "That's a possibility."

Hearing this, Shi Longgu felt as if the sky was collapsing, clinging tightly to Xiong Xue'er's arm, "I won't let you!"

"I must go back!"

"If you do, will we ever see each other again?"

Xiong Xue'er was also distraught and held his wife tight, "The bond between us as husband and wife, I'm afraid it's going to be severed now..."

Shi Longgu burst into frightened tears, "Since it has come to this, why don't you just stay with me and be a couple for this life? Forget about the arduous Dao and at least die of old age... Even couples in the Mortal World can't compare, what's the point of such burdensome Cultivation!"

Xiong Xue'er's mind was in chaos, extremely upset, but after comforting her, he decided to immediately return to the mountain to find his master Cang Lingzi.

Shi Longgu begged desperately, her arms wrapped around Xiong Xue'er's arm, crying loudly as she was dragged along.

Xiong Xue'er said, "Why don't you come back with me and face master's judgment together?"

As soon as she heard this, Shi Longgu was frightened again, "But what if he orders me to undergo Soldier Disintegration with you?"

Xiong Xue'er sighed, "Then just wait for me here. I swear, even if I have to undergo disintegration, I'll come back to tell you first."

The couple tugged and pulled at each other until they opened the cave door and saw Shi Feiyang standing outside.

"Who are you?" Xiong Xue'er asked, protecting the disheveled Shi Longgu behind him.
