Chapter 1170 Shared Cultivation

Then Mengyu thought of something else: no, that’s not right. Because it was their first time doing dual cultivation, both of them had gained a lot of benefits. She herself had already reached the Golden Core Fifth Layer, which counted as the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Gu Dongxing had just entered the Golden Core, so he should be at the Early Stage, right? Why did the aura on his body feel even stronger than hers?

Besides, the Dragon Chief was also at the Late-stage Golden Core, but she felt that the aura on Gu Dongxing’s body was even stronger than the Dragon Chief’s.

Mengyu was sure that if they ran into Nan Gong now, with such a powerful Gu Dongxing, their nine-person squad would not have been pinned down and beaten by Nan Gong.

Gu Dongxing grinned, his white teeth made even whiter by his dark face. "In my previous life, he completely merged his consciousness into my soul, increasing my Divine Sense tenfold. Just now, I also absorbed Thunder Spiritual Power, so I’ve already recovered my previous life’s cultivation."

Mengyu pointed at Gu Dongxing. "Your previous life’s cultivation? Late-stage Golden Core?"

Gu Dongxing nodded. "Yes. Before, my cultivation wasn’t enough to fully absorb my past-life consciousness, but now that I’ve entered the Golden Core Stage, that past-life consciousness actively fused with me. So my Divine Sense from that life plus this one is already equivalent to Nascent Soul Early Stage. But my cultivation is at Late-stage Golden Core."

Mengyu felt it was unfair again. "Why don’t I have a mighty previous life? If I had a strong past life too, I could have picked up a few levels of cultivation for free." Thinking of her own combat power, she got a bit depressed. "Even when I was already a Golden Core cultivator I still couldn’t beat you. Now you’re Late-stage Golden Core, aren’t you leaving me way behind?"

Gu Dongxing pinched her nose. "Silly servant, you’re my wife. It’s enough that I protect you; you don’t need to stick your neck out and fight. If there’s danger in the future, you just go into the Space House and let me handle it."

But Mengyu thought of that time she’d almost been killed by Nan Gong. Back then, she hadn’t even thought of going into the Space House at all, had she?

Right, at that time all she’d thought about was raising up the Array to protect everyone; the idea of entering the Space House hadn’t even crossed her mind.

Still, she needed to improve her combat power. Before, she had been the one to neglect it. From now on, she definitely had to properly train her combat techniques.

Gu Dongxing added, "Besides, have you not checked your cultivation yourself? We’ve formed a Life and Death Contract as a shared cultivation couple. Not only can we share life, we can also share cultivation. I’ve reached Late-stage Golden Core, so you should be about the same."

Mengyu said, "That can’t be right. I remember I had just barely entered the Golden Core Fifth Layer. There’s no way I’d be at the Late Stage. Ah— I actually reached the Golden Core Seventh Layer!"

From Golden Core Sixth Layer to Seventh Layer was a watershed. The Sixth Layer was still in the Middle Stage, and usually there would be a bottleneck. But the Seventh Layer meant breaking through that bottleneck and stepping into Late-stage Golden Core.

Normally, crossing that watershed was extremely difficult, yet now she had actually been "dragged" into Late-stage Golden Core by Gu Dongxing!

So this was the benefit of forming a Life and Death couple contract? Once Gu Dongxing’s power went up, she could follow right along with him.

For a moment, Mengyu couldn’t help feeling a bit bold and heroic. "The two of us husband and wife are both Late-stage Golden Core now. Let’s see who dares to mess with us in the future."

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Huaiyu’s face appeared in her mind.

Jiang Huaiyu herself was already dead, but she had been seized by someone.

And all the resources of the person whose body was seized had fallen into her hands. Who knew when she would recover her cultivation and come after her for trouble.

On the day she got engaged to Gu Dongxing at De Yue Building, she had sensed a wave of malice. For some reason, she had a premonition that this malice was related to Jiang Huaiyu’s body snatcher.

She even had a faint suspicion: Jiang Huaiyu was still alive.
