Chapter Thirty: Dan Completes Yin and Yang

  He carefully drew out all the inner breath from his dantian and stored it in his meridians. Fortunately, he didn't have much qi at this moment, and his meridians had expanded significantly after being " ravaged" several times. Then, with great care, he drew out a very small amount of yin essence and a very small amount of yang essence, slowly bringing them closer together in the dantian.

  Two auras seemed to be communicating with each other, and before they even touched, they attracted and merged. What surprised the onlookers was that after the two auras merged, there were no further changes, just like two drops of water merging on a scorching hot iron plate, only to evaporate cleanly afterwards.

  "What's going on? Logically speaking, the convergence of two opposing energies should have caused a violent reaction. Even if they cancelled each other out, there should be some remnants left behind." Feng thought about it for half a day, but no matter how he explained it, it seemed inadequate. "Could it be that the energy earlier was too weak?"

  Then, with the wind, he tried to stir up a slightly stronger breath. This time was exactly the same as last time, the only difference being that this time the two breaths merged faster than before, and the fusion time was slightly longer.

  Sui Feng didn't give up, and instead gradually increased the amount of harmonized breath. Unbeknownst to him, his body had already utilized over a third of its yin-yang energy. However, every attempt ended in the same result - annihilation. Sui Feng stopped trying and began to recall the yin-yang pool from the Murong family's residence. "Yin energy is like mountain shade, while yang energy is like the great dragon; they attract each other on the surface of the earth until finally, at the last stroke, the two extremes of Taiji are born. This must be a very slow process, not something that can be accomplished in an instant." Sui Feng muttered to himself as he thought about it.

  He suddenly shook his body violently, "What did I just say?" "Giving birth to two extremes? No, it's extremely slow? ... Could it be because the time of yin and yang convergence is too short?!"

  His eyes suddenly lit up with the wind, and he could no longer control his impulse, so he sat down to meditate. Little by little, he merged yin and yang, like a stream flowing endlessly into the dantian sea of energy. At this moment, he had not yet mastered the internal vision technique, everything relied on imagination and feeling. For some reason, in his mind, there seemed to be two streams, one black and one white, slowly intersecting and merging.

  At first, black and white would collide and annihilate each other upon meeting. However, the continuous supply of new blood from behind replenished what was lost in front, which had not yet completely dissipated. It was as if a whirlpool had appeared out of thin air in the vast ocean, drawing in all the surrounding air to rotate around it. The faster it spun, the less time yin and yang had to come into contact with each other, resulting in fewer annihilations. The attractive force weakened, and the rotation slowed. All this gradually formed a delicate balance, until finally, magically, one side yin and the other side yang, a small-scale taiji diagram appeared in the air sea that drifted with the wind.

  The only thing that is slightly insufficient is that although the yin and yang energies are interdependent and mutually restrictive, they have converged into a yin-yang diagram in the body. However, this diagram is not complete. It has the fish body but lacks the most crucial fish eye. "Is it because all yin-yang taiji diagrams first have the fish body and then the yin-yang energies further evolve to form the fish eye?"

  Although he had been exposed to such yin-yang wu-xing things since childhood, this was still the first time he encountered this problem. It wasn't until the second day that he asked about the formation process of Liang's Taiji diagram in a roundabout way and found out that it was indeed consistent with his guess. The two qi of yin and yang first merged to form the yin-yang diagram, and finally, the dragon was drawn, rising from yin-yang to taiji.

  At that time, Su Feng still didn't know this point, the first problem hadn't been solved yet, and then came the second problem. He had already converted all his internal energy into yin-yang two airs, could he still cultivate the previous Xī Tiān Jué? If not, what should he do? Shouldn't he just disperse his skills on his own?

  Sui Feng pondered for a long time, and finally thought of the heavy burden on himself, as well as the majestic figure of Murong Xuanfeng. Sui Feng suddenly realized that his own hesitation was too precious and limited.

  Might as well let it all out, as the saying goes "The bold will be killed by their own audacity, while the timid will starve to death." Although this statement is somewhat biased, it also contains a certain degree of truth. If one doesn't even dare to try and gives up easily, then there's no chance of success whatsoever. Following the original method again, another surprise emerges immediately.

  His lower abdomen's yin-yang diagram seemed to merge with the dan Tian, just like a waterwheel. When operating, the yin-yang diagram would automatically emit pre-heavenly air flows into the meridians of his body, and when the pre-heavenly air flows returned to the qi sea, they would be absorbed back into the yin-yang diagram. Moreover, after one cycle of operation, the true energy in his body would become even more refined. Not only that, although he hadn't tried it before, he vaguely felt that the breath contained by the yin-yang diagram was much greater than before, and the speed of air flow was also 50% faster than before.

  Such a huge change, with excitement and joy. Only then did I understand the meaning of the previous Qian Gua, if he hadn't gone to spy on the Murong family's secrets with Liang Ze, he wouldn't have had the chance to drink the earth milk and see the legendary Taiji diagram that was naturally formed. And even more so, he wouldn't have thought of practicing the yin and yang energy in his body.

  This whole string of events was as if it had been arranged by heaven long ago, and happened so naturally.

  And so, the enthusiasm for practicing qigong with the wind was unprecedentedly encouraged. Compared to last time, not only did it take less time for the breath to circulate through the body, but also the internal energy would increase significantly after each circulation. As a result, his cultivation speed had almost doubled compared to before. However, Su Feng was completely unaware of this, as he was fully immersed in his practice and didn't notice these changes.

  As the internal energy fills up, the yin-yang diagram in the dantian is also gradually and slowly expanding. Although the speed is extremely slow, it can still be felt through the subtle changes in the airflow with the wind.

  He wanted to try and see how big the yin-yang diagram would become, whether it would swell up to the dan-tian. So he devoted himself wholeheartedly to operating the technique, opening up the speed to its maximum. The pre-heavenly energy of the yin-yang diagram seemed to soften by a lot, although the running speed was extremely fast, the meridians were also inflated to be very full, but it didn't seem like before, this time there wasn't even a single scratch on the meridians, on the contrary, it seemed to gradually repair the wounds that had been damaged previously.

  An hour passed quickly, and his wind-based cultivation was far from satisfying. However, he also knew that he couldn't let the minor details get in the way, so he had to stop and wash up. Just as he was about to leave, he realized something was off - he hadn't consciously directed his inner energy to flow, yet in his mind's eye, a diagram of the yin-yang harmony within his dantian was slowly rotating. Moreover, with each rotation of the yin-yang diagram, the breath within his body was also circulating continuously around the Heavenly Cycle. It was as if he didn't need to deliberately cultivate; every moment was an opportunity for practice.

  "This, is this the inner vision and no-thought that's written in books?" Feng was somewhat surprised. No-thought has been recorded in many books, but how to cultivate it has never been fixed since ancient times, and it all comes down to coincidence. Once cultivated, the inner breath naturally moves, and the speed of cultivation can be said to be several times faster.

  "It's just that, although this yin-yang diagram has been completed, I still feel a bit unsteady and unstable. It seems that I need to continue practicing for a long time." As he pondered along with the wind, he didn't realize that he had gradually deviated from the direction of the Analytical Heaven's End, and was walking towards a different path. After last night, he had already arrived at the entrance of a new world full of wonders, standing in front of the door, and could see a corner inside. Just one more step forward would be another world.

  At this moment, in a corner of the Yu Yun Mountain Villa, Mu Rongyu stood with his hands behind his back, his face as calm as the sea, quietly gazing at the various scenery outside the window. His eyebrows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, his eyes flashed, as if he had made some kind of decision.

  Just as they stepped out the door, they ran into Liang Stealer who was passing by. Liang Stealer glanced around and said in a low voice, "I've been feeling uneasy all morning and thought of leaving this afternoon. But after what happened last night, it would be too suspicious if we left now. So I think we should wait until after lunch to leave together. Although life here seems peaceful on the surface, who knows what undercurrents there are."

  "The inner waves... " murmured with the wind, he looked up at this vast manor, no matter how good this place was, it wasn't his home, nor could it hold him back. He wanted to surpass even a young hero like Murong Xuanfeng, and be a dragon among men who soars above the crowd. Thinking of this, the scenery around him seemed to have become just a shallow bay that couldn't hold back this divine dragon.

  He nodded and said, "Even if he found out about us last night, what can we do? There's no evidence after all. The sooner we leave, the better. Staying longer will only lead to more trouble."

  Liang Ze's expression was calm and collected, but his heart was surging like a vast ocean. A few days ago, he had discovered that Su Feng's aura was extraordinary, with an unusual air about him. Just now, Su Feng's casual words inadvertently revealed his momentum, which was like a mighty dragon that had been building up its strength for a long time and could burst forth at any moment. "When I saw him, he could bring out the sword energy with his exquisite swordsmanship. At that time, I felt that he was not ordinary, and later I found out that he really didn't have any internal energy. However, in just these few days, it seems like every day he has undergone a transformation. Yesterday, he drank so much of the earth's milk, and I forgot to remind him not to practice his skills, and I've been worried that he would blindly stir up the dormant earth energy within his body and burst himself apart. But today, when I saw him, it was clear that he had already digested all of that energy, and not only that, but even I couldn't fully discern his true strength."

  Liang Stealer secretly calculated that at this speed, it wouldn't be long before another brilliant and handsome young man appeared in the Jianghu. "However, some people might not be happy to see this happen." Thinking of this, Liang Stealer looked towards the distant Ling Water Pavilion hidden among the flowers, furrowing his brow.

  Suddenly seeing Liang steal a child, he didn't make a sound, and gently pushed him, "What are you thinking about, let's go."

  Liáng Stole laughed and said: "I'm thinking when you little kid will master my unparalleled lightness skill, so next time we go to steal some treasure together, I won't have to always bring you running away with me, haha."

  He mentioned it casually, and I suddenly remembered that he was still injured yesterday. "How's your injury?"

  Liang Ze waved his hand and said: "It's just that when I was running the Qingyun Step, I slightly injured my meridians, but it's nothing serious now."

  The two of them went on talking and walked towards the dining hall of Murong's family. After finishing breakfast, there was nothing to do, so they bid farewell to Liang Tou'er and returned to their own room to continue practicing.

  "I wonder what kind of strength he will have when he reaches my age after many years?" Liang Ze looked at the back figure drifting away with the wind, and secretly sighed.
