Dual Cultivation With My Yandere Disciples

When Chen Xuan opened his eyes again, the endless sea was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, he found himself standing within a dark and unfamiliar space.

A familiar feeling rose within his heart.

He immediately recognized the structure of this place, having visited one before.

It was a secret realm.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Given everything that happened, he knew this was most likely the location of the rumored inheritance.

As for the thing that had brought him here...

Chen Xuan shifted his gaze toward the center of the dark void.

A massive whirlpool floated there.

Unlike the one outside, it wasn’t formed from seawater. Instead, it seemed to be composed of a strange black substance that continuously revolved upon itself.

Initially, Chen Xuan intended to remain cautious and observe the situation for a little longer.

Just then, however, an excited voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"This is... this aura feels familiar!"

Honglan’s voice trembled.

A moment later, her voice became even louder.

"It’s Kunpeng! This is the power of a Kunpeng!"

"The inheritance hidden within this secret realm must belong to a Kunpeng!"

Honglan made no effort to conceal her vibrant emotions.

Yet Chen Xuan did not tease her for her gaffe.

She had every reason to be excited.

After all, the name alone was enough to shock anyone.

Kunpeng.

A legendary creature standing on the same level as the Phoenix and the Azure Dragon.

Whether in terms of power or reputation, few creatures could rival it.

If this secret realm truly belonged to a member of that race, then the value of its inheritance would be immeasurable.

Despite this, Chen Xuan managed to maintain his composure.

He didn’t rush toward the whirlpool recklessly.

With the Common Saber in one hand and Honglan’s sword form in the other, he slowly approached it while remaining vigilant.

He was prepared to retreat immediately if anything unexpected occurred.

At worst, he would enter the Seven Trials Tower and hide in the space inside.

Step by step, the distance between him and the whirlpool shrank.

Two hundred feet. One hundred feet. Fifty feet.

As he drew closer, the devouring force emanating from the whirlpool became increasingly powerful.

Yet to his surprise, its power was not unbearable.

At least, he was able to resist the force with the help of his Nascent Soul.

This made him feel strange.

However, what happened next was even stranger.

The moment he entered a radius of ten feet, the whirlpool abruptly stopped rotating.

It transformed into a streak of black light and shot directly into his forehead.

Chen Xuan’s expression changed, and he looked ready to defend.

However, no attack followed.

Surprisingly, the whirlpool did not represent danger, nor was it a precious item.

Instead, it was a flood of information.

Kunpeng Art—the name of this technique surfaced in his mind.

However, he had no time to examine its contents.

The instant the whirlpool disappeared, the secret realm seemed to lose its primary source of power.

The surrounding space began to collapse.

Cracks spread throughout the void as countless spatial rifts appeared one after another.

For a brief moment, Chen Xuan had to wonder whether he would be swept away once more.

Fortunately, this secret realm proved far kinder than the previous one. Or perhaps its destruction had always been part of the inheritance process.

An azure portal materialized before him.

With his intuition warning him about the incoming danger, Chen Xuan did not hesitate.

Without much thought, he stepped inside.

Bang!

The second after he left, the secret realm finally exploded.

--

Meanwhile, both Chi Yao and Huo Ling’er were becoming increasingly anxious.

Chen Xuan still hadn’t returned.

Although Chi Yao had a rough idea about what might have happened, her current cultivation was far too weak to interfere.

As for Huo Ling’er? Her vision and power were even worse.

Unable to do anything, the two women could only remain where they were, waiting for some change to occur.

The seconds seemed to have turned into hours in their perception.

Just as Huo Ling’er was beginning to lose patience, the space above the ocean suddenly shattered.

A door-shaped rift emerged.

The next moment, a familiar figure stepped out of it.

Looking at them, Huo Ling’er immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, you’re finally back."

She hurried forward.

"You have no idea how worried I was that something bad had happened to you."

As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Chen Xuan merely smiled in response.

He reached out and ruffled her hair while patting Chi Yao gently on the shoulder.

"Don’t worry. With your Master’s strength, there are only a few things capable of harming me."

His casual tone immediately eased their worries.

Then, his smile widened.

"Moreover, this time, the gains are substantial."

"The Void Tide Leviathan should be more than enough to activate the Cross-Domain Teleportation Array and send us back to the Tianxuan Domain."

The moment those words fell, the tension in both women’s hearts vanished.

A bright smile instantly appeared on Huo Ling’er’s face.

Her biggest worry had been resolved! They could finally return home!

Although she had to admit that she had greatly enjoyed these past few days alongside her Master, she didn’t want to remain trapped in the Nine Origins Seas forever.

After all, her family was still waiting in the Tianxuan Domain. If time passed and they didn’t hear any news, her parents would inevitably become worried.

Chi Yao had fewer attachments.

Even so, she nodded repeatedly.

Compared to the Nine Origins Seas, the Tianxuan Domain was far more suitable for her current growth.

Seeing their reactions, Chen Xuan did not speak any further.

After carefully erasing all traces of their presence and ensuring that nobody could track them, he cast one final glance toward the location where the secret realm had once existed.

Then the three of them soared into the sky.

--

The Void Tide Leviathan felt aggrieved.

Sensing the sinister gaze of the "giant" human standing before it, it nearly burst into tears.

Unfortunately, bound by the Primordial Ocean Water, it was unable to offer any resistance.

All it could do was watch helplessly as Chen Xuan repeatedly stabbed it with his finger, allowing its azure blood to drip onto the massive formation below.

The dim runes gradually lit up.

Their glow became brighter and brighter.

Yet the towering man still seemed dissatisfied with such speed. He stabbed its body once again.

Grrrr!

The sea beast attempted to roar in protest.

Unfortunately, only a pitiful growl came out of its mouth.

Not only did it fail to intimidate the other party, but the rate at which he drew blood seemed to increase even further.

For the first time in its life, the mighty Void Tide Leviathan began to fear the "weak" human race.
