"Don't—don't be hasty!"

Li Yao struggled hard. "I've just recovered from the prolonged separation. My body is still weak…"

"What are you talking about? The top medical teams of the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance all say that you are as good as new and that you've swallowed dozens of bases of high-nutrition nutrition

drugs from the elite special forces. You are so vigorous that you can blow up an asteroid with a single punch. But I'm not convinced. I'm going to see how awesome you are!"

Ding Lingdang sneered, "Weak? Where? Let me examine you!"

"No. What I meant was—"

Li Yao said, "Shouldn't we prepare ourselves first? There's no need to be so straightforward, is there?"

"We've been married for a long time. Why are you still brewing? Haven't you always liked to be rough? Why are you still pretending with me?"

Ding Lingdang narrowed her eyes as a vigilant look appeared in her eyes. "Or could it be that you really have a situation outside where your heart is as still as water after a long separation with your wife?"

"How is that possible?"

Li Yao swore to the heavens, "How is my heart as calm as water? My—my heart is beating so fast. It's not just a volcanic eruption; it's a supernova eruption!"

"That's enough, you wretched thing!"

Ding Lingdang pinched Li Yao's chest hard. "Let me tell you, it's every citizen's sacred duty to pay taxes according to the law. Don't think that you can fight against the tax just because you've become the real supreme

expert of the three realms, the Distracted Old Monster!"

"No, no. I wouldn't dare. I just feel that it's too unfulfilled for us to indulge in such simple primitive pleasure at our current level.

Li Yao chuckled. "Honey, do you want to try anew move?"

"New move?"

Ding Lingdang scoffed, "Come on. Do you think I don't know what your new moves are?"

"You really don't know me.

Li Yao said solemnly, "This is a new move that I've been practicing recently. I guarantee that you've never seen it before."

"Is that so?"

Ding Lingdang was smiling, but her eyes were much sharper than before. "Then, may I ask, Mr. Vulture Li Yao, supreme of the three worlds, who is your new move trained with?"

"Huh?"

Li Yao was dazed for a long time. Cold sweat was spurting out of his forehead again. He stammered, "I—I didn't train with anybody. It was a new move that I invented by myself!"

"Which means—"

Ding Lingdang moved her face close to Li Yao's and stared at him in the eyes. "You went deep into the enemy's territory, braved the dangers, fought Wu Yingqi, Fuxi, and Lu Qingchen, and saved the federation and even

the entire universe time and time again, and you were in the mood to figure out… a new move yourself?"

"Well, honey, don't get excited. I know it sounds weird, but I can really explain it.

Li Yao managed a smile. "Anyways, just get off my body first and sit cross-legged next to me. Just keep your eyes down, your nose down, your mouth down, and your heart down. Keep your heart facing the sky."

Ding Lingdang was dazed. "Why?"

"Cultivate!"

Li Yao said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you say that you were going to take seven days off and train with me in seclusion for seven days and seven nights?"

"T did, but… wait a moment…"

Ding Lingdang asked suspiciously, "Are you sure your 'closed-door training' is the same as mine?"

"Of course!"

Li Yao said, "When you said 'seclusion', didn't you mean 'struggle over the great daos'?"

"That's right."

Ding Lingdang was still confused. "But are you sure that the 'struggle over the great daos' that you understand and the 'struggle over the great daos' that I want are the same?"

"Probably. Anyway, just sit cross-legged and enter the state of deep meditation."

Li Yao jumped high like a carp and pinned Ding Lingdang to the ground. Then, he sat cross-legged in front of Ding Lingdang and exhaled. His eyes were glittering, and he looked solemn.

"Are you serious?"

Ding Lingdang was dumbfounded. "Dear, are you going to tell me that you have no desires now that you've reached the highest level?"

"Who says so? Of course, I have desires, and they are extremely powerful!"

Li Yao said solemnly, "However, it is not my body that is weak right now, but your body!"

"Me2"

Ding Lingdang couldn't help but laugh. She moved her arms confidently and summoned fierce spiritual flames. "Honey, you didn't know, did you? I gained a lot of enlightenment during the fierce battle in the center of

the sea of stars where I gambled on the fate of the nation. I made a breakthrough before the battle and broke into the Divinity Transformation Stage!

"Besides, my belief is pure and I'm born for combat. I'm almost 120% of the battle-type Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators. My combat ability is much higher than those of the same level!

"I feel very good right now. My control over every muscle, every vein, every nerve, and every cell has never been so precise and precise. I'm not boasting, but I'm confident that I can fight any opponent in the Divinity

Transformation Stage, even if they are seasoned Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators who have been famous for hundreds of years. Any two or even ten Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators will have to pay a

terrible price to defeat me!

Ding Lingdang clenched her iron fists so hard that they were emitting cracking sounds as she waved them under Li Yao's nose.

"I knew that you had entered the Divinity Transformation Stage. Even if Xiao Ming didn't tell me, I already had a deep understanding about your body and soul the moment I saw you.

Li Yao's face was calm. He sighed and said, "But don't you find it odd? Over the past few years, you've been taking care of a lot of affairs as the Speaker of Parliament. You've been busy maintaining and managing the

complicated relationships and situations of the federation. You don't have much time for combat training at all. Am I right?"

Ding Lingdang was dazed for a moment. She was deep in thought. "Yes."

"Of course, as the Speaker of Parliament, you will receive the best training resources in the entire federation. The dragon liver, phoenix marrow, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will be enough to

maintain your body in the peak state.

Li Yao said, "However, the effects of drugs and supplements are limited. Keeping your combat ability in the Nascent Soul Stage is already your limit. It is impossible for you to break into the Divinity Transformation

Stage.

"Fair enough."

Ding Lingdang pondered for a moment and said, "When I decided to shoulder the responsibility of being the Speaker of Parliaments, I knew that the stagnation over the past five years wouldn't do my martial arts

training much good. The path of training is like sailing against the current. If I don't move forward, I will fall behind. The intensity of my training over the past five years is at least 50% lower than before. I shouldn't have

made the breakthrough.

"But I made a breakthrough in front of billions of soldiers in the universe. My current combat ability is far higher than that of the Nascent Soul Stage, too. How can you explain that?

"On one hand, it means that you are a real genius of martial arts and destined to fight. On the other hand, it also means that you have the strongest willpower and the deepest love for the federation. It is your willpower

and love that pushed you to the Divinity Transformation Stage at the most crucial moment!

Li Yao changed the topic and said, "However, if you break into the Divinity Transformation Stage without considering the consequences, your body, especially your soul, will be seriously damaged even if your combat

ability is temporarily improved.

"You are like a torch that is burning at the cost of your vitality. If you are not treated soon, it won't be long before you are burnt to ashes.

"If my guess is correct, during the day, when you are facing the star, or rather, when the radiation of the star is most intense, you will feel a dull pain on the top of your head where the Baihui acupoint is, right?"

"How did you know?"

Ding Lingdang was greatly surprised. "Yes. Starting from half a month ago, every day at noon, the center of my skull would faintly ache, but the pain wasn't that bad. It was as if cold air was popping up from the top of

my head. The medical team of the federation examined for a long time, but they couldn't find any major problems. So, | just let it be… Even the top neurologists and Meditation Healers couldn't tell. How could you tell?"

"They are not distracted. Your husband is."

Li Yao said casually, "This is the problem that your soul is too strong and excited, and your body of flesh and blood is gradually unable to bear it. Although your soul is invisible and intangible, when it reaches the level of

you and me, it is still possible that your body will explode and burn up.

"Then what do we do?"

Ding Lingdang was anxious.

"It's alright. I still have a husband. That's why I said that I would conduct a special training session with you so that our souls can meld and explore the harmony of the universe together. At the same time, I will solve

your problem."

Li Yao smiled. Rainbow-like mystic rays beamed out of his eyes again as he said softly, "Come on. Feel my spirit. Enter the deep meditative state and the dream of the mortal world. Let me share with you all the feelings

and enlightenment I've experienced recently!"

The mystic rays in his eyes grew larger and larger. Very soon, they formed a rainbow swirl that was almost tangible.

aturally, Ding Lingdang trusted Li Yao. She stared at the swirl and soon entered the deep meditative state.

na trance, the material world collapsed. Under the rainbow, a brand-new spiritual world was born and blossomed as their eyes met.

BOOM!

n the distance was a volcanic eruption. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur. The earth was extremely muddy. All kinds of bizarre-shaped birds and animals were roaming on the primeval land.

And the overlord of this mental world was unquestionably…

"What the hell is this?"

Ding Lingdang lowered her head and looked at her new body in bewilderment. She discovered that she had turned into a real tyrannosaur.

Yes. Sharp tusks, short arms, thick limbs and tail, and the wrinkles and sparse feathers all over his body. What else could it be but a tyrannosaur?

"Honey, don't be scared. This is an illusionary space that I created. Or rather, it is a memory piece where I was training with the clones of the three thousand Sectors. In other words, we are in each other's memories,

spirits, and souls!

Not far away, another tyrannosaur was running toward Ding Lingdang, waving its short and stupid arms. "Let's have a great competition of the great daos in the illusion space where nobody will bother us or worry

about any damage!"".
