After investigating Noire for a while, Tianshi felt something amiss. He wasn't distributing Qi essence through his meridians, nor was he absorbing and refining it through the ambient environment.
What was he doing?
God knows how many hours have passed, Tianshi sat in a lotus position at some point and continued to scrutinize Noire.
He was in a state of complete tranquility, his temperament felt like a contagious surge of wind, till she eventually found herself in sync with his temperament.
She may not be aware of it, but Noire's aura indeed dispersed throughout the room and assimilated into the ambient forces.
The entire room was like an ancient pond without the slightest eddies.
Suddenly, Tianshi's pupils shrunk as a realization hit her.
The nature of the ambient Qi is morphing.
She wanted to observe her surroundings but Noire's disposition was too spellbinding.
She could only rely on her bestial instinct and enter a trance of contemplation.
"..."
Noire was lost in a spiraling maze, he felt an amalgamation of powers fusing inside his flesh and meridians.
He could feel his dragon force and pinpoint the minuscule amounts that scattered throughout his physique.
He then began to recite the scripture pioneered for his Explosive Dominance physique.
Slowly but surely, he could discern the Dragon force and Qi essence, then navigate them steadily to fuse with his Silver Eclipse bloodline.
Subconsciously, Noire began to diffuse these forces into the environment of his immediate quarters.
Although this was due to the artistic concept of space, his innate ability as a Void Dragon.
Although the amount of dragon force in his form is minuscule, it is enough to overpower even a top phoenix in this lackluster lower plane.
That's when Tianshi began to pay notice to the changes in her room. It was as if she entered a separate dimension of reality, the space inside the room began to distort and ripple, then melt away like an ice cube under the scorching heat.
Suddenly, Tianshi found herself in a vacuum of nothingness. Brilliant white panels everywhere she looked, a myriad of emotions erupted in her mind.
Shock, excitement, bewilderment, curiosity, and somewhat dreadful.
There was nothing, not even a medium to carry sound, she couldn't even hear her thoughts let alone her speech.
Suddenly she felt another change, her bloodline... It was evolving!
It was very slim, but evolution nonetheless!
Hurriedly, she cast away her distracting thoughts and took a seat in the lotus position, adjusted her breath, and began to contemplate.
A total of three forces were assimilating in this vacuum of space.
Dragon force, Qi essence, and Eclipse Blessing.
Noire might be the first to use these forces as materials to fabricate an interwoven tapestry of enlightenment.
He could feel his meridians expanding, his bloodline assimilating, his dantian erupting with essence to the brim before expanding to new boundaries.
By the time the process was as natural as breathing, Noire decided to bestow the name 'Spiral Ecliptic Virtue' on this practice.
Using the cultivation techniques of the 6th dimension as the foundation, and the scripture of his special physique's refining method, Noire tailored the perfect cultivation method for himself.
Swoosh~
Noire's body turned into a bottomless pit, madly swallowing the fragments of space around himself.
Tianshi could feel an immense sucking force in front of her, but she was immersed in the abrupt cleansing her body was undergoing to pay attention to Noire...

Back when the news about Noire first broke out and spread like wildfire.
Inside the Dawn Pagoda, a pavilion was constructed for urgent meetings between the high Elders of Four Seasons Sect.
The sect master, an Eclipse Realm expert, and a total of 40 great Elders at the peak Twilight Realm were currently discussing matters regarding Noire.
"So those were his conditions to join the sect?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, those were indeed the conditions Young Lady Luhei shared with me. She has already agreed to the terms in the name of her father, I'm afraid we can't do anything against it." Great Elder Xin replied.
Great Elder Xin is one of the ten great Elders responsible for the Fire Qi segment of Four Seasons.
Judging from his tone, he seemed to be pleasant by such an outcome, because he managed to poach another talent under the Fire Qi emblem.
Truthfully, due to her mixed blood, Luhei Tianshi's future in cultivation isn't that promising.
Because her bloodlines lack harmony, they suppress each other the further she advances in cultivation.
Her family was painstaking resources and cultivation methods for her since early age in hopes to bypass this predicament. Alas, everything was but a temporary solution.
Eventually, regardless of her royal bloodline talent, due to the wolven bloodline holding her back, her aptitude started regressing. The members of the family speculate that her bloodline will burn her life force at a threshold of one hundred years.
Therefore, having found another medium Fire Qi mastery candidate with promising potential, the Great Elders and the sect master couldn't be more ecstatic.
Sect Master said, "Currently he's only under her supervision, we need to try our best to lure him under our ranks just in case. Tianshi's future isn't that bright, she will decline sooner or later, we can all agree that this Siyu Noire is a god-sent opportunity for us."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Thus, the Sect Master passed a decree to forbid anyone from approaching Tianshi's living quarters.
Then, the Great Elders began switching shifts in observing her courtyard, ready to take Noire for a private chat under any excuse.
A day passed...
Ten days...
Two weeks...
A month...
The disciple exam was concluded, both Ning'er and Yue were able to join the sect as out court disciples. Yue focused on Water Qi following Noire's advice, but Ning'er is still lingering...
A cycle of night and day, sunrise and sunset, four months since the secluded retreat started, Noire and Tianshi opened their eyes simultaneously.
- - - -
Noire's eyes maintained their humane appearance, yet they exuded a divine radiance.
What greeted him first was Tianshi, she oddly had an ecstatic expression and vigorous eyes, he could pretty much guess the reason why.
With a grin, he said, "Good harvest?"
"Mhm!" She nodded affirmatively, apparently, she's no longer mad about being called a kitten.
