How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

"No need?" Hu Ji frowned slightly, "Young master, are you still confident in your Divine Demon Refining Body Law?"

"How dare I!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The yin-yang power hidden within the Array Path by the elder has been contained by me using my own method and will not cause damage to my foundation."

"The yin-yang power is like a grindstone, intertwining and clashing. Even at my level, when in seclusion, I still tread carefully as if on thin ice. How can it be easily contained?" Hu Ji said, "Young master, you'd better not..."

Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "Elder, I have a diagram I'd like to discuss with you!"

"A diagram?" Hu Ji and Saintess Qian Ling both exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand and flicked the teacup in front of him.

A droplet of tea flew up and landed on his fingertip.

Using his finger as a pen, he drew a circle on the table before him.

In the center, his finger moved like a dragon-snake, drawing an "S" line.

With two fingers, he pointed to the belly of the "S".

Hu Ji's whole body trembled, her gaze suddenly lifted, staring at Lin Xiaosu, her eyes, at this moment, exceptionally bright.

Because she specializes in the Yin-Yang Path.

She knew how audacious this "fish" before her was.

An S-line divided this circle.

The energies on either side were completely different.

It could even be said, diametrically opposed.

The left side is yang, the right side is yin, yin and yang divided.

If it were just this layer, this is merely the entry stage of the Yin-Yang Path.

However, the mystical mechanism lies in his two fingers.

The two points pressed by his fingers directly connected the yin and yang, forming a fusion of yin and yang.

This fusion was vastly different from the direction she had been researching for so long.

She had always focused on the Yin-Yang Grid.

In fact, everyone in this world who studied the Yin-Yang Path followed the direction of the Yin-Yang Grid.

But he was different.

He followed the direction of the Yin-Yang Fish.

As this fish appeared, Hu Ji felt the mystical energy within, the more she pondered, the more wondrous it seemed...

Yin and yang embrace, complement each other.

Yin and yang do not directly embrace, but embrace through curves.

The most wondrous aspect is, the Yin-Yang Fish both experience a process of mutual increase and decrease. When yin prospers, yang wanes, and when yang prospers, yin wanes. What's even more magical is that it undergoes a transformation process.

The yang fish transitions from prosperity to decline. When it reaches a state of utmost decline, it connects with the yin fish's utmost prosperity. Similarly, the yin fish also goes through a process of prosperity to decline. When yin reaches its utmost decline, it is time for yang to be in its utmost prosperity.

In just such a diagram, the heads and tails of the two fish connect.

Perfectly integrating the mutual opposition, transformation, and alternation of rise and fall in the theory of yin and yang. It is far superior in conception to the Yin-Yang Grid.

"Young Master Su, this diagram... where did you learn it from?"

"On the subject of yin and yang, the sages have discussed much. I have also pondered it, always feeling that such a diagram seems to fit very well with the yin-yang theory. On Fenghua Road, when I encountered the Yin-Yang Ambush, I tried using it. Unexpectedly, it really accommodated the yin-yang power of the Array Path."

Hu Ji sighed deeply, "Young master, your poetic talent is unparalleled. Who could have thought that your cultivation aptitude would also be so peerlessly extraordinary? Among the billions on the Yin-Yang Path, who could have thought that yin-yang fusion could take the shape of a fish?"

Saintess Qian Ling had long widened her eyes, her entire person in a dazed state.

Yin-Yang Fish...

Did he come up with it himself, or did he draw upon the wisdom of the Daxia predecessors?

It should be the latter, right?

This theory is so profound, so mysterious, how could he possibly think it up?

She didn't know of this culture because the Catherine she possessed was an aristocratic lady from Luoba State, who hadn't studied much of Daxia culture. The only cultural influence from Daxia was perhaps this poetry collection in her arms.

Now she seemed to understand, Daxia's cultural depth truly encompassed all.

Especially the basic theories related to the Cultivation Path.

For instance, this Yin-Yang Fish perfectly applied to the Yin-Yang Path.

However, it is not just for the Yin-Yang Path.

It seems it can also be applied among the Five Elements...

A long-standing problem that she had been pondering seemed to have found a spark, striking the deepest part of her consciousness.

Saintess Qian Ling thus fell into a wonderful state, akin to sudden enlightenment.

This expression of hers fell into Hu Ji's eyes, causing Hu Ji to tremble slightly, a faint sound transmitting into Lin Xiaosu's Spirit Platform, "Young master, it seems your senior sister has also been touched."

"It seems so!"

Hu Ji said, "Young master, do you intend to enter the Yin-Yang Path?"

Lin Xiaosu's heart slightly skipped a beat.

The Yin-Yang Path.

Among the Heavenly Tao Seven Techniques, he had already gained some insight into a few.

Time, space, reincarnation, causality, and life.

Unknowingly, he had actually gained some insight into the Heavenly Tao Five Methods.

He only lacked two more.

Yin-yang and chaos.

Each law, though he had only a shallow understanding, was, for him, something he kept deeply treasured.

Can he comprehend the Yin-Yang Law? And how?

Hu Ji said, "Young master, please look, this stele is named the Yin Yang Stele. I acquired it in the Ancient Forbidden Area, and since then, I've embarked on the Yin-Yang Path. Young master has so generously shared your profound understanding and insights. I have no way to repay you, but to offer this stele's opportunity in return!"

Only then did Lin Xiaosu notice the stele behind her.

She had been sitting against the stele all along.

"I can see that the young master possesses a Primordial Spirit. If you integrate it into this stele, you should gain something!" Hu Ji added.

Primordial Spirit!

Lin Xiaosu's heart was secretly shocked.

His possession of a Primordial Spirit was an absolute secret.

In that world, almost no one knew.

Entering the Ancient World, he had always been hiding his Primordial Spirit — generally speaking, hiding a Primordial Spirit is impossible, but he could because he possessed a Time Space Secret Realm. Once hiding his Primordial Spirit, it was beyond the understanding of gods and demons.

Therefore, even masters at the level of Qingqiu Great Elder have no idea he possesses a Primordial Spirit.

However, Hu Ji knows!

Lin Xiaosu wasn't pretentious; he extended a finger and touched the stele.

His Primordial Spirit entered the stele.

Inside the stele, the Qi was boundless and vast.

Inside the stele, it was as if there was a broken grand hall.

The Yin and Yang Qi divided; outside the hall was Yang, inside was Yin.

This resulted in the hall being dim.

However, his Primordial Spirit had very strong perception; he could see the inscriptions recorded within.

The inscriptions were incomplete and chaotic.

There were theories, and there were practical applications...

Just looking at the theories, from Lin Xiaosu's perspective, they seemed inferior to "The Book of Changes," but the practical applications opened his eyes.

What is practical application?

It's its actual use.

The uses of the Yin Yang Path are numerous, spanning very widely.

There's the Yin Yang Hexagram, used for divination.

There's the Yin Yang Grindstone, the kind of power Hu Ji used on Fenghua Road; the Yin Yang Power turns into dual grindstones, reaching high realms where the world is a grindstone and all things are beans; incredibly domineering.

There's the Yin Yang Scissors, where the Yin Yang Power cuts, splitting all things in the world.

There's the Yin Yang Step!

One leg is Yang, the other is Yin, Yin and Yang interchange, allowing a person to Instantaneously Move.

Lin Xiaosu stared at the Yin Yang Step; if his Primordial Spirit had eyes emitting light, they would be shining brightly now.

The other aspects of the Yin Yang Path didn't capture his interest much, but the Yin Yang Step intrigued him greatly.

This design concept is very peculiar.

The two legs can be divided into Yin and Yang, the polarities interchange, the person almost transcending physical concepts, stepping into the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Laws. If the Yin Yang Step is cultivated to Great Achievement Realm, it truly could traverse the Great Array in one step and reach the heavens or the underworld without trace...

Of course, the starting point for the Yin Yang Step is forming a Space Tao Seed.

The term Tao Seed made Lin Xiaosu feel overwhelmed at first glance.

The Tao Seeds of the Heavenly Tao Seven Techniques, how can they be easy?

In the Cultivation Path, what is a Tao Seed?

It's the symbol of the Enlightenment Realm!

A cultivator who comprehends the Heavenly Dao Rules and forms a Tao Seed indicates genuine mastery in Rule Enlightenment — the professional term is "Enlightenment Realm"!

See? The starting phase of Tao Seed is in the Late Stage of Enlightenment.

Not easy to achieve!

Take Lin Xiaosu, a peculiar case; his Human Tao Orchid Heart is astounding, he comprehends various cultivation techniques within mere days, yet with his Heavenly Tao Seven Techniques and Five Techniques, he has only formed a single Space Tao Seed over such a long time.

This demonstrates the difficulty of forming a Tao Seed.

He hadn't previously encountered the Yin Yang Law, so imagining he could form a Tao Seed in a short time was virtually impossible.

At this moment, a faint human figure appeared in the hall before him.

This figure looked identical to Hu Ji, but behind her trailed eight shadowy figures like eight tails.

This was Hu Ji's Primordial Spirit.

"Young Master, I have a crazy idea," Hu Ji said.

"Crazy?" Lin Xiaosu was slightly taken aback.

"The Yin Yang Fish you painted earlier, the more I ponder it, the more it's filled with boundless potential. Why not let you and I each represent a polarity, and within this stele, interpret Yin Yang, perhaps leading to unforeseen rewards."

This stele is a holy land of the Yin Yang Path.

She has diligently cultivated the Yin Yang Path for thousands of years.

He, although his comprehension in the Yin Yang Path is nearly nonexistent, proposed the Yin Yang Fish theory, which is endlessly mysterious.

Most crucially, she is female, representing Yin.

He is male, representing Yang.

The two use their innate attributes as the origin, to perform on site the profound, unfathomable Yin Yang Fish.

Hu Ji was very excited at this moment.

On the path of Rules and Laws, forming the Tao Seed, blooming the Tao Flower, and plucking the Tao Fruit...

Her Tao Realm had long seen the bloom of the Great Dao Flower, but she was still missing the final step toward the Tao Fruit.

The difficulty in achieving the Tao Fruit lay in her inability to make her Yin Yang Grid flawless, as this intertwining of Yin Yang demanded an extraordinarily insane level of law control. Any imperfection would cause the entire structure of the Path Diagram to collapse completely.

But now, the emergence of this Yin Yang Fish showed her another path.

Avoid the Yin Yang Grid, directly approach the Yin Yang Fish.

It entirely bypasses the insanely extreme "grid building" of Yin Yang weaving.

This sense of relief, this excitement, what is it similar to? Like a modern data worker, after months of overwhelming workload facing endless databases, a programmer suddenly tells her: actually, this pile of complex work can be easily handled by one small program.

Lin Xiaosu's heart also accelerated: "Nothing could be better!"

A soft humming sound was heard.

Lin Xiaosu's Primordial Spirit suddenly turned snow white.

Silently, Hu Ji's Primordial Spirit turned pitch black.

Under a magical force's guidance, they transformed into a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish.

Yang Pole, Lin Xiaosu as the base, Yin Pole, Hu Ji as the base.

Yin Yang Path, at this moment, became tangible.

Traces of Qi exchanged between them.

Lin Xiaosu received Hu Ji's Qi, feeling the Yin Power within her Qi.

Hu Ji also received Lin Xiaosu's Qi, which carried a burning Yang attribute.

This Yang attribute from another body entering and melding with her Yin caused Hu Ji to suddenly feel a strange sensation, as if she and he were merging; this thought triggered ripples throughout her Qi.

Lin Xiaosu was influenced by her, suddenly feeling as though the distance between them was zero...

"Young Master, don't let your Dao Heart be confused!" Hu Ji's voice trembled softly.
