Chapter 840
Gathering Yin and Yang Qi to Condense the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo!
Yanghu Cave Heaven.
Ten suns in the sky.
Beneath my feet lies the vast, boundless sea, and in the distance, islands appear as tiny black dots.
At this moment, the vast will of the grotto-heaven descended.
The void rippled, and an invisible voice echoed in Jiang Ning's mind.
"So it is the true disciple of the superior sect who has arrived."
The voice in my mind was indifferent, devoid of any emotion, yet it contained a vast and boundless will.
Jiang Ning felt certain upon hearing the message conveyed by the voice in his mind.
He knew that this was because the mark of his identity as a true disciple of the Shangyang Immortal Sect had taken effect, and he had gained acceptance from the will of this grotto-heaven.
"Jiang Ning, a disciple of the Shangyang Immortal Sect, needs to borrow the pure Yin and Yang energies of your esteemed place to condense his Dao embryo and establish the foundation for becoming a Nine Profound Immortal. I hope you will grant me this favor." He silently recited this in his heart, conveying his intention.
"Please feel free to follow the true teachings of the Upper Sect!" The voice of the Cave Heaven's will rang out again, and then the descending wave of will quickly subsided.
In just a moment, the invisible pressure dissipated, and the world returned to clarity.
"Do as you please! So this world must contain the pure Yin and Yang energies I need. If it didn't, the will of the cave wouldn't have answered like this!" Jiang Ning thought to himself, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Then, he looked up at the ten golden suns overhead and down at the deep, boundless ocean below.
"In this grotto-heaven world, the seawater is icy cold and bone-chilling, and the area beneath the sea surface is an extremely yin place. To extract the purest yin energy, one should go to the seabed. As for pure yang energy, the only place to find it is the great sun overhead."
He thought to himself, already understanding that if it existed, there were most likely only these two directions.
Without further hesitation, he darted towards the sea.
The moment he touched the water, a bone-chilling cold surged from the seawater and seeped into his body.
However, the next moment, a surge of yang energy erupted from within his body, instantly washing away the chill.
He sank to the bottom of the sea, his body sinking rapidly like a fish. The surrounding light gradually dimmed, and the water temperature continued to drop.
Then, he saw a group of silver ribbons flash across the dark seabed.
It's a silver tuna!
A thought struck him.
The silver tuna is entirely silvery-white and shaped like a spear.
It is extremely fast and powerful.
When it leaps out of the water, it is like a long spear moving with the speed of thunder.
The last time I entered Yanghu Cave, I crossed the sea by boat, and the silver tuna was a test.
Faced with the spearhead of the silver tuna, many participants who had entered this cave were eliminated.
He consumed a large amount of silver tuna, accumulating a considerable amount of source energy points through them.
Just thinking about the delicious taste of silver tuna made his mouth water.
This spirit fish has delicious flesh and is rich in energy; it tastes excellent even when eaten as sashimi.
Then, a thought struck him.
With a swift movement, he caught a four-inch-long silver fish in his hand.
The fish struggled fiercely, its flailing tail fin creating waves.
next moment.
He put the silverfish directly into his mouth.
"Still so delicious!" He nodded in praise as he felt the flavor on his tongue.
He then made a series of moves.
He swallowed eight of them in a row.
[Source point +0.1]
Upon seeing the notification that appeared before him, a thought struck him.
“After I refine the eight silver tuna, it will bring a 0.1 increase in source points. Since that’s the case,” he looked at the dozen or so silver streaks shuttling in the sea ahead, and his eyes suddenly became fiery.
He suddenly came to his senses.
I came here to increase my strength.
There is no only one way to increase one's strength: condensing the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo. The growth of the Origin Points is still of great benefit to his strength.
His gaze swept over the school of silver tuna darting ahead, and with a slight thought, he moved like lightning through the sea, his palms flashing as invisible bursts of energy precisely swept towards the fish.
Although the silver tuna is extremely fast, it is almost impossible for Jiang Ning to hide from it now.
In a short while, dozens of shimmering silver spirit fish were bound by true essence and floated in front of him.
Without hesitation, he put the silver tuna into his mouth one by one, savoring their delicious flesh before swallowing them. He then activated his Blood Furnace and Devouring ability to fully consume and absorb the abundant energy contained within their bodies.
As he digested and absorbed the silver tuna one by one, waves of warmth surged through his body.
Flesh, bones, and internal organs seemed to be parched and receiving timely rain, greedily absorbing this essence of energy.
[Source point +0.1]
[Source point +0.1]
Feeling the warm current surging within his body and the steady increase in his source point, Jiang Ning nodded inwardly.
He then hurriedly sank to the bottom of the sea, instead searching for silverfish around him.
Although this sea area is isolated from spiritual perception, one can see extremely far with the Heavenly Eye open.
[Source point +0.1]
[Source point +0.1]
【.】
Several hours later.
He felt every cell in his body was filled with energy, and his body was completely unable to continue to digest and absorb the spiritual essence from the silver tuna, so he stopped what he was doing.
He hasn't forgotten.
Last time, when I was collecting Earthly Fiend Yin Stones at the bottom of the sea, I touched a few and was warned by the will of the cave.
Silver tuna is also part of the cave world.
Although the will of the cave has not issued a warning, he roughly understands that there is a limit to this.
Knowing when to stop.
[Source Point]: 41.2
He glanced at the panel and nodded in satisfaction.
The silver tuna brought him a total of more than a dozen source points.
Then, he looked up at the sky above him.
Through the dark seawater, one can vaguely sense the intense heat of the ten suns shining down.
Beneath their feet, the chilling aura permeating the deep sea grew increasingly intense, almost solidifying into a tangible black current.
"The Yin and Yang energies should reside within these two poles." He composed himself and continued to descend.
The deeper you go, the colder the seawater becomes, and the light disappears completely, plunging you into absolute darkness and silence.
Ordinary martial artists would be instantly eroded by the cold and have their souls frozen upon reaching this point.
However, Jiang Ning's body is full of pure yang energy, and his qi and blood circulate naturally, keeping the yin and cold energy out.
Much later.
Below, in the darkness, he could vaguely see rivers emitting a hazy purple light.
As he descended deeper, the blur became clearer.
He saw rivers radiating a purple light.
Rivers meander across the seabed like dragons, spreading throughout the entire ocean floor.
After a few breaths, he appeared before a river radiating a purple light.
In the river, countless purple stones were piled up together, emanating a strong yin energy.
The yin energy emanating from the stone was so dense that it solidified into a river-like flow on the seabed.
"If this grotto-heaven can extract pure Yin energy, it should be within these Earthly Fiend Yin Stones," he thought to himself. With a wave of his hand, a jade bottle appeared in his palm.
This is a jade bottle he brought from the Imperial Preceptor's residence to store pure Yin energy.
To solidify the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo and establish the foundation for the Nine Mysterious Immortals of Yin and Yang, one needs to adopt the purest Yin and Yang energies.
The Yin and Yang energies that are utilized require the storage of materials.
He gazed at the flowing purple river ahead, then gently closed his eyes, his mind slowly merging into it.
next moment.
A purple light slowly rose from the river. He opened his eyes, looked at the purple light that his mind was drawn to, and then a thought struck him.
The purple light seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rising up and flowing into the jade bottle in his hand.
"It's done!" He was delighted to see the purple light slowly flowing in the bottle, but he wasn't surprised.
After perfecting the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, condensing the pure Yin and Yang energies was no challenge for him.
Provided the conditions are met, he can easily condense the purest Yin and Yang energies.
He then calmed his mind and continued to focus on sensing.
In the dark depths of the sea, a purple river flows silently, and every wisp of rising pure yin energy is utterly pure.
With a slight thought, Jiang Ning's mind cleared, and his understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao after perfecting the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword flowed naturally, transforming into an invisible force of attraction, slowly peeling away strands of pure purple light from the depths of the river.
The second, the third, the fourth, and so on up to the ninth.
"It's done!!!" He relaxed as he watched the nine streams of pure Yin energy enter the jade bottle one after another.
After what happened last night, he was already halfway to success on this trip.
He then carefully sealed the bottle and put it away.
He glanced at the river flowing with purple light ahead. Compared to before, he felt that the river was dimmer and not as bright as it had been.
Then, he withdrew his gaze, turned around, and rushed towards the surface of the sea.
The moment it broke through the water, the blazing sunlight hit it in the face.
Ten great suns hung high overhead, their golden rays almost solidifying, scorching the air and causing it to distort slightly.
Jiang Ning stood in mid-air, looking up, his eyes reflecting the blazing sun.
He flipped his hand and took out another jade bottle. The bottle was pure white and had a warm, smooth texture. It was the container used to store pure yang energy.
"If you want to condense pure Yang energy, the sun in the sky is the most likely place! Pure Yang and pure Yin are at two extremes."
He thought to himself.
Then it soared upwards, flying towards the high sky where the ten suns were located.
His figure soared like a rainbow, rising straight into the sky.
As the temperature continued to rise, the surrounding temperature increased dramatically, and the air seemed to be ignited, radiating waves of heat.
His protective aura flowed naturally, keeping the heat out, but the blazing yang energy emanating from the ten great suns pressed down on him like a tangible force, making his skin feel faintly hot.
"Such pure Yang energy!" he thought to himself, his eyes slightly closed, and his understanding of the Yin-Yang principle slowly unfolded in his mind.
The profound sensations brought about by the perfected Taixu Yin Yang Sword allowed him to clearly see the strands of supreme yang essence permeating the blazing light.
They are like tiny golden snakes, slithering and leaping in the blazing sunlight, pure and intense.
Sensing everything around him, he continued to climb.
The higher he climbed, the more dazzling the sun overhead became, and its size in his eyes kept increasing.
Soon, its height reached its limit.
The sun overhead appeared in his eyes no longer as small as a jade plate as it appeared from the ground, but as large as a lake.
The golden light was blinding, and it constantly emitted terrifying heat waves.
The heat was intense; he felt as if every inch of the air was on fire and boiling.
The vision was distorted, and invisible flames seemed to fill every space.
Hovering here, he felt as if he were in an invisible furnace.
He could already feel a faint burning sensation in his body.
"That's my limit!" he thought to himself, calming himself and stopping his upward movement.
This was the limit that his physical body and soul could withstand.
As you get closer, the sun doesn't just emit pure light and heat, but a terrifying power that incinerates everything.
"Right here!" he murmured to himself, slowly closing his eyes.
Immerse yourself completely in the perception of the surrounding Yang energy.
In an instant, he saw strands of solid, pure golden snakes moving and leaping around him, pure and intense.
He saw above him a dazzling, radiant light, golden light that had gathered into a lake the size of a lake, constantly radiating terrifying power.
There are nine such celestial bodies, each the size of a lake.
He took a deep breath, inhaling only the air that seemed to boil like flames.
The next moment, he took out a white jade bottle, and with a thought, he guided it upwards.
Drops of golden light fell from the sky above, originating from the golden sun overhead, and gathered in the sky and earth in front of them.
Drops of golden light continuously converged, gradually forming a pure golden stream of energy.
This process is several times more difficult and slower than extracting pure Yin energy from the seabed.
At this moment, he was highly focused, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The sweat beads appeared, but were instantly evaporated by the high temperature.
After a long while, a golden ray, as thin as a hair and as solid as a substance, completely condensed in the void and was then absorbed into the jade bottle.
The first strand... is done!
He was overjoyed.
Holding the white jade bottle, he felt its scalding heat, which stung his palm.
"What domineering pure yang energy!" He felt a little solemn.
The serious question is whether his soul can withstand such domineering pure yang energy.
He had some doubts.
After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head secretly.
"I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Without further hesitation, he continued to repeat the process he had just gone through.
The second strand. The third strand. And so on up to the ninth strand.
As the ninth ray of pure yang golden light was drawn into the translucent white jade bottle in his hand, he quickly sealed the bottle, let out a long sigh, and felt a wave of mental exhaustion.
Continuously extracting pure Yin and Yang energies, especially when at high altitudes, extracting pure Yang energy, consumes a great deal of mental energy.
He glanced at the sky above him.
The sun was still as dazzling and radiant as ever, its golden light shining brightly.
But he had a feeling that the sun wasn't as bright as it had been before.
He looked down at his feet. Beneath the vast sea of clouds lay the dark and expansive Xuan Yin Sea, dotted with islands as tiny as ants.
At that moment, a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
"With the Yin and Yang energies ready, the first step in condensing the Dao embryo is complete," he murmured, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Next, he sought a safe and secluded place and, following the methods of the Yin-Yang Dao Embryo inheritance, used the pure Yin and Yang energies as a foundation to condense the innate Dao embryo in his spiritual platform.
Once the Dao embryo is formed, it takes the shape of a primordial egg, wrapped in the mysterious light of Yin and Yang, and containing the life force of creation within.
The divine soul is encompassed within, undergoing nine profound transformations, ultimately breaking free from its mortal form to become a god, thus establishing the foundation for the Dao of the Yin-Yang Nine Profound Immortals!
He didn't linger any longer, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he flew towards the scattered black dots on the distant sea, towards those islands.
He needs a secluded place where he can remain undisturbed to complete this crucial step.
Shangyang Cave is an excellent place.
Here, he didn't need to worry about being disturbed by anyone. (End of Chapter)
