Chapter Ninety-Two: Triple Comprehension! Perfect!
The two continued on their way and soon left the outer perimeter of Zishan Mountain, officially stepping into its depths.
While people might try their luck at collecting source stones on the outskirts of Purple Mountain, only to die and leave behind piles of bones, it's rare to see the corpses of ordinary cultivators within this area.
Those who left their corpses here were all powerful cultivators.
A demonic power emanated from the depths of Purple Mountain, which not only Lü Yao felt but also Ye Fan sensed.
The stone skin tightly enveloped his sea of consciousness, blocking the summoning of this demonic power.
The two fell silent, continuing to walk along the stone path, leaving only the echo of their footsteps.
Stone carvings and murals began to appear on the stone wall, recording events from the ancient and primitive periods, all left by ancient people's knives and axes.
It is very simple, telling the details of how humans came to mine when Purple Mountain was a large source stone mine.
Later, the creatures on the stone carvings became increasingly strange. Someone unearthed a creature with a single horn growing from its forehead, which led to the deaths of everyone.
This person, with horns growing from between his eyebrows, has six arms and a pair of wings. When he roars to the sky, the earth cracks, mines collapse, and underground magma erupts.
Later, more and more strange creatures appeared, slaughtering the surrounding humans. More and more corpses piled up like mountains, and blood gathered into rivers that meandered into the distance, making it a veritable hell on earth.
Later, a person descended, and on the stone carving, the character "Emperor" was written above the person's head. With one hand, he exterminated all the strange creatures.
Moreover, the stone carvings are extremely lifelike, depicting the aura of that powerful human being that soared through the heavens and was revered by all.
The next stone carvings began to appear intermittently, and then from a stone that seemed to be a source, an incredibly terrifying creature emerged, resembling a woman, possessing extreme power.
The human emperor unleashed his weapon, a massive bell that reached the heavens and earth, which crashed down upon Ye Fan with an immense power that seemed to span tens of thousands of years.
The stone carvings were finally completed, and the few remaining images were barely discernible, marking the complete end of the ancient history.
Ye Fan was filled with disappointment: "Such a strange thing happened here, yet no one in the Eastern Wilderness has told about it."
Lu Yao smiled faintly: "Ancient history is vast and boundless, often spanning tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. Only ancient families and holy lands with equally ancient lineages can leave behind a trace of records. Most cultivators are just fish in the long river of history, born in the morning and dying at night, without seeking transcendence."
"What is transcendence? Did the emperor and that strange woman in the mural transcend?" Ye Fan asked curiously. The two were extremely powerful. The scene depicted in the mural of the sun and moon losing their balance and stars falling when they fought was truly terrifying. How could any cultivator be so powerful?
When he first arrived at Beidou, Lü Yao told him that after becoming a sage, he would be able to physically traverse the starry sky and return to Earth.
He once thought that the sages were powerful enough, but now it seems that the human emperor is even more powerful than the sages, and the starry sky is just something the emperor can play with at will.
Lu Yao was silent for a while, then slowly said, "That human emperor should be the Wushi Emperor. He has traveled through the four eras of mythology, primordial era, ancient era, and post-ancient era. No one dares to say that he is more powerful than him, but he still has not transcended."
The woman who emerged from the divine source must be the Immortal Empress.
She was sealed into this era by the Immortal Emperor, so calling her a supreme being is absolutely no problem; if it really comes down to a fight, even the beings lurking in the forbidden zones will have to come out and open their mouths.
But if you're saying that the Great Emperor Wushi would have to go all out to defeat her, then you're joking.
Even if Emperor Wushi was in his later years, defeating Empress Wushi would have been a piece of cake, much easier than suppressing the Immortal Daoist.
Lu Yao guessed that it was highly likely that the Wushi Bell itself had fully recovered and was fighting against the Undying Empress, while the Wushi Emperor was watching the battle. This explanation would be more in line with the Wushi Emperor's combat strength.
The humans who recorded the events couldn't distinguish between so many things, and assumed that the Great Emperor Wushi had manipulated the Imperial Bell and, after a long battle, suppressed the creatures deep in the Purple Mountain.
"If even the Great Emperors of the human race haven't transcended, who can?" Ye Fan's eyes revealed a hint of doubt. If that were true, what would the Beidou cultivators' talk of proving the Dao amount to?
Lu Yao shook his head: "Your cultivation is too low, only at the third level of the Dao Palace. Knowing too much will not be conducive to your future cultivation. As long as you can pass the three hurdles, come and ask me again then, and I will tell you a sliver of information about transcendence."
"Which three levels?" Ye Fan asked.
“Great Success, Emperor Proof…” Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, “Become an Immortal.”
Ye Fan fell silent for a moment, then slowly uttered, "Are you not aware of this, so you're deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Let alone achieving great success, he hasn't even scratched the surface of the Four Heavenly Gates! In what lifetime will he ever learn these secrets?
"Forget it, I don't want to know anymore. I just want to live and find my way back to Earth." Ye Fan waved his hand casually and continued walking deeper into the ground.
Lü Yao was helpless. Ye Fan's biggest obsession right now was to return to Earth and take care of his parents. He didn't have much interest in proving the Dao or becoming an immortal.
Even their current combat strength was only unleashed when they were being hunted down and forced to show it.
Lü Yao and Ye Fan walked side by side.
Ye Fan: "The Zhang family's ancestor was the fifth generation of Source Master. In his later years, he encountered misfortune. Perhaps in order to avoid the curse, or perhaps in order to find a solution in Purple Mountain, he entered Purple Mountain and became trapped here."
A thousand years ago, Zhang Jiye, an ancestor of the Zhang family, also got lost here while searching for traces of his ancestors and the Origin Book, and most likely died here.
The Zhang family promised me that as long as I find the Source Book, I can learn its secret techniques.
Lu Yao said, "Master Yuan's later years are fraught with misfortune, aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of? What's more terrifying than poverty?" Ye Fan was almost driven to death by the tens of millions of kilograms of Origin needed to advance to the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm. Even if he really grew red hair all over his body, he would still learn it.
Without a source, one cannot cultivate; without cultivation, one cannot return to Earth.
Lu Yao thought to himself: It's alright, all of you holy bodies will grow hair anyway, whether it's gold or red, it's all the same.
After traveling for a while, two ancient caves appeared ahead, their depths unfathomable. One cave was filled with spiritual energy, with primordial energy constantly surging upwards, while the other was filled with malevolent energy. The two caves resembled yin and yang, like a tai chi symbol.
This is the great power of nature, containing the divine power of the Great Dao.
Your "Tai Chi Chuan" technique sensed the Yin-Yang Divine Cave naturally formed in Zishan Mountain, and you suddenly had an epiphany.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, staring intently into the depths of the two sacred caves.
Ultimately, it discovered that the primordial energy and the malevolent energy were merely superficial. These two divine caves connected to the deepest part of Purple Mountain, perhaps containing pure Yin and Yang energies. It had a premonition that this might be the opportunity to advance its quasi-emperor secret technique.
Lü Yaoming understood that this Yin-Yang Divine Cave might allow Tai Chi Chuan to completely transform into a supreme technique.
"I will stay here for a while and try to comprehend this Yin-Yang Ancient Cave."
Lu Yao's sudden words startled Ye Fan, who was about to throw a bone to test the power of the ancient cave.
"Alright, I'll protect you."
"Lend me the Bodhi seeds." Lü Yao didn't stand on ceremony and reached out his hand to ask for them.
Ye Fan took out a Bodhi seed with a Buddha image printed on it, handed it to Lü Yao, and then stepped aside to carefully observe his surroundings.
Lu Yao sat cross-legged in front of the sacred cave, closed his eyes, and shared his understanding of Tai Chi Chuan. At the same time, the Bodhi seed in his hand shone brightly, and a wonderful charm enveloped him.
With the combined blessings of his understanding of Tai Chi and Bodhi seeds, he took off!
Chapter Ninety-Three: Yin and Yang Unify All Paths
Lu Yao's mind cleared instantly. With the help of Tai Chi and the enlightenment from the Bodhi seed, he had never felt so clear about the world and its laws.
If there is only one, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is right before your eyes, but you still need to see it with your own eyes.
Having both was like stripping away all the obscurity of the entire world and forcibly stuffing the Great Dao into his mind.
Tai Chi continuously transmitted the profound principles of Yin and Yang that he had come to understand, giving him a different understanding of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang.
The two deep, divine caves continuously spewed out primal energy and malevolent energy, which merged and flowed together to form a yin-yang diagram. Mysterious runes would occasionally appear between the two energies.
Lu Yao himself relied on his instincts to actively comprehend the two divine caves. Gradually, his mind seemed to leave the realm of Purple Mountain and wander beyond the heavens. His body exuded a strong Daoist aura, and a phantom image of a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram appeared behind him.
The unrestrained and boundless Daoist energy continuously rippled outwards, and the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram expanded incessantly, eventually filling the entire mine tunnel.
Ye Fan sensed the profound and distant Daoist aura, and seeing the two Yin-Yang diagrams facing each other across the void, he knew that Lü Yao had entered a deep state of enlightenment, and said with envy:
"I only felt terrified when I saw this Yin-Yang Divine Cave, and I didn't understand anything. How could Old Lü be able to comprehend the profound principles of Yin and Yang from it? Is he really just an ordinary person?"
These two naturally formed ancient caves in Zishan Mountain are certainly mysterious, but not so mysterious that Tai Chi Chuan could become a quasi-emperor's secret technique upon first sight.
The main reason is that Tai Chi Chuan had already thoroughly understood eight thousand different kinds of secret techniques, and later it obtained the remaining treasures in the inheritance hall of the Yao Guang Holy Land. It had already reached a bottleneck, and now the two ancient caves that were naturally formed by heaven and earth have made it enter a state of enlightenment.
"Boom!"
Like the sound of thunder, the two divine caves seemed to sense something, and the primal energy and malevolent energy within them became increasingly violent. The primal energy transformed into holy sword light, constantly gushing out, while the malevolent energy transformed into eerie ghostly energy, creating a hellish atmosphere.
But soon, strange changes began to occur below the ancient cave. The primordial energy and the evil energy stagnated, and then pure Yin and Yang energies burst forth, flowing endlessly and merging together, completely transforming into an ancient Yin-Yang divine diagram.
It's not that simple that Zishan was chosen by both the Undying Emperor and Wushi. Everything and every object has its own Dao, not to mention the Yin-Yang Ancient Cave that was naturally formed in the top terrain of the Burial Emperor Star.
At this moment, it became the turning point for the transformation of Tai Chi.
The two ancient caves seem to have melted away and blended into the picture.
In Ye Fan's sight, the passage behind the ancient cave simply vanished into thin air.
"Yin and Yang complement each other; all things carry Yin and embrace Yang..."
Lü Yao's mind sank into the image that the ancient cave had transformed into.
In an instant, the world in his mind changed; it was no longer composed of rocks, plants, flames, and other substances.
These substances vanished suddenly, turning into tiny specks that eventually disappeared without a trace, revealing a state of chaos.
Suddenly, two streams of energy, one black and one white, emerged from nothingness and intertwined.
Lu Yao seemed to be the only living being born in this world. He was in the center of two streams of black and white energy. He stretched out his hands and guided the two streams of energy to start rotating, slowly transforming them into a black and white rotating wheel of Dao.
The wheel was extremely unstable, with black and white clearly distinct, as if it would collapse at any moment.
At this moment, the Dao Palace within Lü Yao's body roared, and five deities stood in the chaos, their figures blurred like balls of light. Among them, the deity representing the "metal element" was the most powerful, with clear robes and an imperial sword at his waist, only his face was blurred.
The five deities suddenly merged, and the five elements of the divine treasures interacted and restrained each other, eventually transforming into two beams of yin and yang light.
The light of Yin and Yang suddenly rushed into the two streams of Yin and Yang energy, making the Dao wheel rotate even faster.
"Chaos gives rise to Yin and Yang, which in turn give rise to the Five Elements. The Five Elements can also reverse Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang can also reverse chaos."
Lu Yao suddenly realized that if he gathered the illusory images of the five emperors of the Dao Palace, could he create the Yin-Yang Dao Palace? If he used Yin and Yang to transform chaos, could he create the Chaos Dao Palace? Would this be a step towards breaking the limits in the secret realm technique?
After an unknown period of time, the cycle of Yin and Yang finally slowed down. They were no longer clearly distinct Yin and Yang energies, but rather black within white and white within black. When black and white came into contact, wisps of chaotic energy would be generated.
"All things in the world are divided into yin and yang."
Lu Yao suddenly understood. The Tai Chi Yin Yang diagram behind him floated above his head and slowly rotated, becoming even more mystical than before.
At this moment, a small purple-gold figure appeared between his eyebrows, shimmering with divine light, hovering in the void, chanting a secret script.
