Chapter 500 Is this still the human he knows?

"That's it...that's it!"

"Is this the way to overcome the reversal of Yin and Yang?"

Thinking of this, Dongfang Taiyi trembled with excitement, muttering to himself incessantly.

But at that moment, Lin Yu's expression turned serious, and he said confidently, "Of course not!"

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Taiyi froze and couldn't help but look at Lin Yu in astonishment.

Lin Yu shook his head and sighed, "This method is just a crooked path, like an alternative path to enlightenment without having passed the Great Emperor Tribulation. It's nothing but a shortcut!"

"what?"

Dongfang Taiyi looked completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you..."

Without hesitation, Lin Yu said confidently, "Because I like it!"

Dongfang Taiyi: "..."

This emperor of our time seems to be in just as good a mental state as him!

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Of course, an unconventional path to enlightenment is still enlightenment. I just can't stand your rigid thinking; you can't even come up with such a clever idea!"

"There are so many ways to solve this problem!"

"I can think of more than a dozen ways to treat the symptoms alone. For example, I could pluck the sun and carry it with me so that the power of the sun always overwhelms that of the moon, or I could sever my own personality, split my mind, and let the two personalities adapt to yin and yang respectively. Then, when I reach the peak of my cultivation in the future, I can consider how to merge the two..."

Lin Yu spoke eloquently and incessantly, explaining how to overcome the reversal of Yin and Yang.

At first, Dongfang Taiyi had some reservations about this human emperor, but as he listened, he was stunned, as if a staunch supporter of the flat Earth theory had seen the Earth, which caused his entire worldview to be severely impacted.

Every time a new method was uttered by Lin Yu, he would tremble with excitement.

But upon hearing the next method, he immediately abandoned his previous thought and nodded repeatedly, indicating that this method seemed more suitable than the previous one.

This process is repeated continuously.

Gradually, Dongfang Taiyi became somewhat numb, and a strong sense of shame rose in his heart. He seemed to finally understand why the other party said that their thinking was too rigid.

With so many ways to solve the problem, why couldn't they think of it?
Even if it's just a temporary fix, it's still better than him being sober during the day and going crazy at night, right?
Of course, as the saying goes, true teachings can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false teachings can fill countless volumes.

Lin Yu's many ingenious ideas are not only due to his own wisdom, but also because he stands on the shoulders of giants.

According to the setting of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the lofty and profound cultivation theories on Earth were all left behind by sages at the Quasi-Emperor level or above.

It is precisely because Earthlings, or rather Chinese people, have been exposed to these theories that their mental cultivation is so advanced, and they can readily produce knowledge that points directly to the truth, astonishing the entire cultivation world.

Just like the demon who cultivates both Yin and Yang, in the original work, he also solved the problem using the concept of the Tai Chi diagram.

Such a thing would be inconceivable in any other world existing on Earth, but in this world of "Covering the Sky," it's actually quite reasonable...

Seeing the shame on Dongfang Taiyi's face, Lin Yu finally stopped, then clicked his tongue in amazement and said:

"But then again, it really surprised me that you can maintain such a clear mind."

"I originally thought that after the moon overshadowed the sun, you would experience a mental split and develop a moon personality, but I didn't expect that you would still have the original personality."

"With such a strong and resilient soul, and an indestructible spirit, it's no wonder you were able to survive for countless ages despite the reversal of the yin and yang!"

These words, though clearly meant as praise, made Dongfang Taiyi feel even more ashamed.

"Your Majesty flatters me. I am merely dull-witted and unwilling to accept my fate, which is why I refuse to give up until I hit a brick wall!"

Lin Yu did not respond, but shook his head and said, "Dongfang Taiyi, you misunderstand. I am not the Human Emperor, and this is not the Primordial Era. Therefore, there is no need to address me according to the rules of the Primordial Era."

"..."

Dongfang Taiyi was taken aback upon hearing this, then respectfully cupped his hands and said:
"Taiyi dares to humbly request Your Majesty to leave behind your honorific title!"

"I am the Celestial Palace Xuanhuan True Lord, you may call me True Lord."

"So it's the True Lord!"

Dongfang Taiyi responded respectfully, then cautiously asked:

"May I ask, True Lord, what year and month is it now?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said softly, "About one or two million years after the Primordial Era!"

One or two million years?!
Donghuang Taiyi's body trembled, his expression complex.

After regaining his senses, he sighed deeply and said in a complicated tone, "Such a long time has passed, the outside world must be completely different by now, right?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Yu nodded in agreement, then glanced at Dongfang Taiyi and said, "But you don't need to worry. Now that I have awakened you, I will help you adapt to the outside world."

"Considering your exceptional talent and brilliant soul, I am willing to give you two paths."

"The first is to cultivate the way of Yin-Yang reversal, using the transformation of Yin and Yang to maintain one's sanity, until the Taiyin and Taiyang are cultivated to their peak, thus completely resolving the problem of Yin-Yang reversal."

"As for the second one..."

At this point, Lin Yu paused, then turned to stare at Dongfang Taiyi: "You must have noticed that the path I cultivate is very similar to Taiyin. If you are willing to abandon the sun and cultivate Taiyin alone, I can cleanse you of Yin and Yang and teach you the Great Dao of Darkness. What do you say?"

"..."

Dongfang Taiyi was taken aback upon hearing this, but then resolutely shook his head, saying firmly, "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"

"I appreciate the True Lord's kindness, but cultivating both Yin and Yang is my heartfelt wish."

"Even if I perish here one day, my soul and body annihilated, I will have no complaints whatsoever!"

The Dao is the ultimate essence, which cannot be given form or name. If we force a name upon it, we call it Taiyi (Great One).

The fact that Dongfang Taiyi is named Taiyi shows his high aspirations; he would never give up on the path of cultivating both Yin and Yang.

If he had chosen to cultivate either the Yin or the Yang, he could have become a Quasi-Emperor back in ancient times. Why would he have gone mad to this day and still not reached a higher realm?

"is it?"

"That's such a shame!"

Lin Yu looked regretful, then said calmly, "However, you were awakened by me after all, so you owe me a debt of gratitude..."

Dongfang Taiyi's expression turned serious, and he respectfully cupped his hands, saying, "What the True Lord says is absolutely right. As long as it has nothing to do with the Great Dao, I am willing to pay any price to repay the True Lord's kindness in enlightening me!"

"good!"

Lin Yu's expression softened slightly, and he nodded in satisfaction, saying, "In that case, would you be willing to join the Immortal Palace?"

Dongfang Taiyi paused slightly, then hesitated and asked, "Immortal Palace... is it a lineage of the human race?"

In ancient times, the symbol of all races has always emphasized that anyone who is not of our race must have a different heart.

Humans and demons who grew up in that era naturally valued this kind of racial distinction.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "I understand your point of view. However, the current era is completely different from the ancient times. The human race has long since become the leader of all races with the help of one Great Emperor after another. Therefore, they are no longer as resistant to the other races as they were back then."

"My Immortal Palace is the same; it is not only inhabited by humans, but also by demons, dragons, and other races."

"But overall, the Celestial Palace is still dominated by humans, so it can be considered a human force!"

...What the hell?

Are humans now the leaders of all races?
Moreover, there were countless great emperors after the Primordial Era?

Is this... is this still the same human he knew back then?
Dongfang Taiyi stared blankly, unable to imagine what had happened over the past millions of years.

Lin Yu chuckled and said, "If you are interested in this past, you can look it up yourself after you leave this place. As for now, let's answer my question first!"

"..."

Dongfang Taiyi snapped out of his daze, pondered for a moment, and respectfully cupped his hands, saying, "In that case, Taiyi is willing to join the Immortal Palace and serve the human race and the True Lord!"

Still among the humans!

Lin Yu chuckled, knowing that this guy was still not entirely at ease and had deliberately added this precondition.

However, he didn't care. In any case, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Immortal Palace were all human, especially the Holy Son Ye Fan. With him as the protagonist of destiny, there was no worry about controlling the human demons.

"Oh, right!"

Lin Yu seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Dongfang Taiyi softly, saying, "Countless years have passed, and the human race has lost the inheritance of the Taiyin and Taiyang. If you don't mind..."

"What?! This is unbelievable?!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Taiyi was startled and couldn't help but blurt it out.

But then he frowned and asked with some doubt, "But if it weren't for the two great immortal scriptures of Taiyin and Taiyang, how did the human race become the leader of all races?"

"Naturally, it's thanks to generation after generation of outstanding human talents!"

At this moment, Lin Yu had already grasped the temperament of the demon, and immediately chuckled, "Nowadays, the human race has long been flourishing, and all kinds of ancient scriptures comparable to the Taiyin and Taiyang are emerging one after another."

"If you are willing to continue the human race's heritage and make up for its shortcomings, that would be excellent."

"But if you don't want to, that's fine too, anyway, the Celestial Palace doesn't lack these two immortal scriptures..."

A hundred flowers bloom, one after another?
Dongfang Taiyi was stunned, his heart filled with turbulent waves that he could not calm down for a long time.

Once he came to his senses, his expression turned solemn, and he immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "If what the True Lord says is true, then Dongfang Taiyi is naturally willing to offer the two great immortal scriptures of Taiyin and Taiyang to make up for the two missing lineages of the human race!"

"Good good!"

Lin Yu looked satisfied, then lightly raised his right hand and touched the center of his forehead.

"In that case, I will help you complete this Yin-Yang reversal!"

Before he finished speaking, wisps of black energy swirled around his fingertips, instantly surging into Dongfang Taiyi's forehead and transforming into a dark red mark between his brows.

Dongfang Taiyi felt a slight stirring in his heart, as he felt all the Yin Holy Power in his body surging towards the mark between his eyebrows.

In a short time, the solar holy power within him overwhelmed the lunar power, and the original state of the lunar power being positive was instantly transformed into the state of the solar power being positive.

"My Lord, this is..."

"This is the Yin-Yang mark I left for you."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "With this mark, you can reverse Yin and Yang on your own, ensuring that you remain clear-headed day and night, and will no longer be as confused as you were in the ancient times."

Dongfang Taiyi was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately bowed deeply, saying:

"We bow in gratitude to the True Lord for bestowing upon us the Dao!"
