At the summit of Longhu Mountain.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a huge rock.
The raindrops fell from the sky, evaporating into nothingness within a few feet of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, overlooking the morning clouds drifting.
"Yin Energy and Yang Energy may seem like two completely opposite paths, but fundamentally, they are a part of the vast heavens and earth. Yin can transform into Yang, and Yang can transform into Yin."
Deep within Lin Yuan's dantian, Yin and Yang energies manifested as black and white, continuously colliding, dissipating, and regenerating without apparent end.
For these eight years, Lin Yuan had immersed himself almost entirely in comprehending Yin Energy and Yang Energy.
Even his cultivation level had not advanced a bit, remaining at the early stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
For Lin Yuan, mastering Yin Energy and Yang Energy made little difference between the early and peak stages of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
"This True Martial Sword."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved, and the True Martial Sword hovered in front of him.
The more he comprehended, the more Lin Yuan discovered the terrifying nature of the True Martial Sword.
To compress the essence of Yin and Yang energies into a Sword, available for future generations to comprehend, was an unimaginable level of control.
Over these years, without this True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan's progress in comprehension might have been reduced.
"Mastering Yin Energy and Yang Energy is not difficult, but fusing them is indeed a nearly impossible task. Ordinary people who attempt this would end up dead."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
No wonder Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts like Cangqing and others believed it to be a dead-end path.
Even a formidable Celestial Master dared not attempt this; the Third Generation Celestial Master was a glaring example.
As one of the powerful Celestial Masters in the second tier among the thirty-six Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect, the Third Generation Celestial Master knew the consequences of forcibly introducing Yin Energy.
"I am different from the Third Generation Celestial Master."
"The Third Generation Celestial Master tried to balance Yin and Yang after becoming a Celestial Master."
"But at that time, the foundation was already established. I am different; I have not yet become a Celestial Master. Balancing Yin and Yang, and then fusing Yin and Yang, is entirely possible."
Lin Yuan silently thought.
Of course, the 'entirely possible' here referred to Lin Yuan with his extraordinary insight.
For another person, even with exceptional talent and the recognition of the True Martial Sword, attempting to balance Yin and Yang, let alone fusing them, would be a faint hope.
Firstly, how to enter the initial stage of Yin Energy or Yang Energy after entering one of them?
Secondly, during the period of balancing Yin and Yang, how to fuse them? In this process, any slight mistake would lead to the consequence of exploding the body.
Lin Yuan had the extraordinary insight, which allowed him to grasp a slim chance of survival in any situation.
The terrifying aspect of extraordinary insight was its ability to comprehend the most advantageous methods for oneself, regardless of the circumstances.
Like eighteen years ago, when Lin Yuan was still a baby and was about to be discovered by a wild beast, he realized the breath-holding technique.
At the brink of starvation, he comprehended the hibernation breathing technique.
Both of these techniques did not require any internal energy or true qi but were created entirely based on Lin Yuan's circumstances at the time.
"Fusion is close."
"Just a bit more, and I can break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with the power of Yin and Yang."
Lin Yuan felt the collision and interweaving of Yin and Yang forces deep within his dantian, with anticipation in his heart.
According to his estimation, breaking through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with the power of Yin and Yang would make him stronger than all the Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect combined.
How could the power of individual Yin and Yang energies compare to the fused Yin and Yang forces?
After examining himself.
Lin Yuan's gaze inadvertently flickered towards the outside of Longhu Mountain.
"These years, it hasn't been peaceful outside."
In fact, since more than twenty years ago, when the Demon Sect made a comeback, the world had not seen peace.
However, with the suppression of righteous forces like the Tian Shi Sect, the Demon Sect did not dare to act too recklessly.
Nevertheless, five years ago, a sudden piece of news spread from the Demon Sect.
The Sect Master of the Demon Sect had obtained the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect.
Primordial Demon Sect was an incredibly ancient force that, theoretically, should have vanished from history long ago.
Since the establishment of the Tian Shi Sect six thousand eight hundred years ago, the successive Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect had always been synonymous with invincibility.
However, invincibility did not mean that others couldn't come close.
Six thousand eight hundred years ago, the first Celestial Master emerged with the True Martial Sword.
That era belonged to the first Celestial Master.
But in that same era, another powerful figure was born.
That was the Primordial Demon Lord.
Although the Primordial Demon Lord couldn't defeat the first Celestial Master, the first Celestial Master also couldn't completely kill him.
In the end, the first Celestial Master sacrificed himself in a battle and finally killed the Primordial Demon Lord.
However, even though the Primordial Demon Lord was dead, the Primordial Demon Sect continued to exist.
Over the next few centuries, with the joint efforts of the second and third Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect, they completely wiped out the Primordial Demon Sect.
Afterward, for thousands of years, the Primordial Demon Sect disappeared from the scene and never reappeared.
"The Tian Shi Sect hasn't produced a new Celestial Master for too long, as long as five hundred years."
"Without the deterrence of a new Celestial Master, the influence of demonic forces has grown rapidly, leading to the rise of the Demon Sect today."
According to the tradition of the successive Celestial Masters of the Tian Shi Sect, each Celestial Master, upon becoming a Celestial Master, would first descend the mountain to eliminate demons and suppress demonic influences.
Now, five hundred years had passed without the emergence of a new Celestial Master. In this situation, although the forces of the Tian Shi Sect and other righteous factions still held the upper hand, it undoubtedly provided ample time for the development of demonic forces.
Compared to the righteous path, demonic cultivation techniques were easier to cultivate, and even absorbing human blood could quickly enhance their strength.
This was also the reason why Zhang Family Village was annihilated.
Apart from the vast wealth of the Zhang Family, there were enough people and even strong individuals.
In the eyes of demonic cultivators, these were no different from tempting delicacies.
"Regardless of whether the news about the Demon Sect obtaining the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect is true or false, this information will undoubtedly boost the reputation of the demonic forces."
Lin Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.
Speaking of which, he had grievances with the Demon Sect.
Eighteen years ago, when Lin Yuan was just born, the entire Zhang Family Village was wiped out by the eight leaders of the Demon Sect.
His biological parents died that day.
"Senior Shanfeng."
"Senior Shanfeng."
At this moment, a shout came.
A young Taoist was running over.
"I knew Senior Shanfeng would be here."
Seeing Lin Yuan, the young Taoist grinned.
"It's Qingping."
Lin Yuan turned around and glanced.
The young Taoist who had come looking for him was none other than Qingping, the former little Taoist.
Eight years had passed, and Qingping had grown considerably. Coupled with his cultivation, he was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary adult man.
