The Precious Mirror's Profound Mysteries of Yin and Yang, Seeking the Dao in Distant

"Tao Kung!?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chen was taken aback. Although he was puzzled, he was also somewhat intrigued and asked:

"Please, Senior Brother Chen, speak frankly!"

"Junior brother, you can ponder this matter on your own before making any decisions."

Chen Fayan smiled slightly, raised his hand and took out the handwritten letter from his sleeve, then handed it over.

"A handwritten letter from the person in charge?"

Yan Chen raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized it as Senior Sister Zhu's handwriting, his heart skipping a beat.

Realizing that this matter must be of great importance, he immediately put aside all distractions and focused his attention on observing it closely.

It can be read in a short while, just a few words.

However, Yan Chen frowned and pondered for a long time until Chen Fayan coughed lightly, which brought him back to his senses and he handed the letter back to the other party.

"Although the vast desert is extremely remote and guarded by demonic veins, it has remained peaceful for nearly a century. As for the heretics' words, perhaps it's just a false alarm. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Chen Fayan had been observing Yan Chen's expression. Seeing that Yan Chen only frowned slightly and showed no fear, Chen Fayan felt reassured and immediately spoke.

Yan Chen did not answer, but changed the subject and asked:

"Junior brother has only recently joined Yuxiu's sect. Please enlighten me, senior brother, what is the Vast Desert, and what does the Demon Vein refer to?"

As if he had anticipated the question, Chen Fayan calmly replied:

"So that my junior brother may know that among the four states of the Great Wilderness, the Southern State is the orthodox lineage of the Immortal Path, and is known as the Southern Dusk Immortal State. There is no need to say more about this."

"Just take this land of Nanzhuo beneath our feet as an example. To the north, thousands of miles away lies the vast desert."

"That place has been bitterly cold for years, sparsely populated, the only thing worth mentioning is that deep within the earth's veins lies a vast, unfathomable sea eye!"

Yan Chen asked in confusion:

"Beneath the desert, there's an eye of the sea?"

"Indeed!"

Chen Fayan shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It is said that in ancient times, the vast desert was originally a vast ocean. Over the years, the ocean dried up and transformed into the vast desert we see today."

"Even so, the ancient eye that gave birth to the ocean has not been destroyed, but is buried deep in the underground demon cave, under the jurisdiction of my Jade Sleeve Dao lineage, and guarded by the demon lineage for generations."

Inspired, Chen Fayan recounted some ancient tales before continuing:

"It is said that beneath the eye of the sea lies a hidden paradise, a vast swamp left over from ancient times. Cultivating within it will bring many wonders."

"Unfortunately, the sea eye erupts every now and then, and only the bloodline supernatural power of the Love Ape and Desire Tiger lineage can suppress and quell it."

"A lustful monkey and a tiger?"

"good!"

Chen Fayan nodded and explained:

"The lustful ape and tiger is a well-known demonic lineage within the [Demon Path] tradition, capable of unleashing supernatural powers through the seven emotions and six desires."

"It was once very prominent in ancient times, but unfortunately it gradually declined after the [Demon Path] went into seclusion."

"However, I learned this from a senior member of the clan, so it's hard to tell if it's true or not. Junior brother, you should consider it for yourself."

Yan Chen clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement:

"Although it belongs to the demon class, it uses the seven emotions and six desires as its bloodline supernatural power, something that many people cannot do."

"Could it be that they used this to suppress the riots of the Vast Abyss Sea Eye?"

"It seems that this sea eye has other mysteries... perhaps far more than what Senior Brother Chen said."

"So, are you going?"

Yan Chen's mind raced, and he did not make a decision immediately, but only considered it carefully before saying:

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Please allow me two days to consider it, senior brother."

Chen Fayan didn't seem offended and nodded, saying:

"That's how it should be. Three days from now, at this time and place, I will await Junior Brother Yan's reply."

"Thank you, senior brother."

After saying this, the two parted ways and did not mention it again.

……

……

Half an hour later.

A flying shuttle, enveloped in a streak of light, landed on Xiangzhi Mountain.

Yan Chen settled down, raised his sleeve to put away the flying shuttle, and stepped into the dark-colored building, where he sat cross-legged in the bedroom on the second floor.

He then lightly waved his sleeve, and with a flick of his wrist, a wisp of wood energy swirled around his fingertips.

Yan Chen's eyes were like water. After a long silence, he made up his mind:

"Now that the Yang Palace is complete, the Yin Palace should be opened in due course."

"However, Jia wood is Yang, which contradicts the Yin nature. Should we perhaps seek another Yin wood cultivation method and change our approach?"

Then he shook his head, thinking to himself:

"This is not appropriate. If we do this, wouldn't we be putting the cart before the horse and wasting all my hard work on the road ahead?"

"It would be better to consider a workaround—"

"If we could use this technique as a foundation to transform yang into yin, wouldn't that be even better?"

Yan Chen made up his mind, and with a flick of his palm, the Xuan Shu Treasure Mirror suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Back then, before Yangfu was established, we couldn't do anything to you, but now we can try to refine you."

Fortunately, I had glimpsed a method to break the restriction when I was in Yanxuan Palace that day, otherwise I really wouldn't have dared to try it rashly.

Once the decision was made, Yan Chen no longer hesitated. He immediately activated a wisp of Bing Fire Qi, focused his mind and spirit, and slowly probed into the Xuan Shu Treasure Mirror.

As if a thousand spiritual touches suddenly arose, a sense of novelty welled up in Yan Chen's heart.

As the divine thought of Bing Huo penetrated deeper, the already crumbling restriction could no longer hold on, and like an anthill bursting its banks, it collapsed with a roar.

Yan Chen seized the opportunity and immediately engraved his own mark deep within it.

Only now has he truly come into control of this Mysterious Pivot Mirror.

Having done all this, Yan Chen felt much more at ease and immediately wanted to try out its wonderful uses.

Then a wisp of Jia wood Qi condensed at his fingertips and slowly poured into the mirror.

In a short while, the mirror began to glow faintly.

But only a few breaths.

A gentle, distinctly different, clear green aura slowly seeped from the bottom of the mirror.

Wood enters (甲木), Wood exits (乙木)!

"It really has the ability to reverse yin and yang!?"

A look of joy flashed in Yan Chen's eyes, and he subconsciously tried to refine that Yi Wood Qi.

But the next moment, that energy vanished without a trace, like a drifting catkin in the wind.

Yan Chen was slightly taken aback, but he was still unwilling to give up and tried several more times, but all of them failed.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking to himself:

"The Yi Wood Qi obtained through this method is like a rootless duckweed, useless. Only by cultivating the Yi Wood Technique can one find the true method to open up the Yin Palace."

With a single thought made up, Yan Chen ceased to cling to the idea.

After receiving the treasure mirror, he closed his eyes and pondered deeply. He silently resolved in his heart:

"Now it seems better to venture into that vast desert."

Even if one does not have the opportunity, one can still receive a Daoist skill to exchange for the "Zhaohua Xuanlie Sword Nurturing Gourd," which would make the trip worthwhile.

"Incidentally, it also allows us to avoid the hidden troubles."

……

……

Three days later, outside the Mingtang Hall.

Yan Chen told Chen Fayan about his decision, and the latter was naturally overjoyed, and couldn't help but ramble on for a while, but that's another story.

same time.

Outside Xiangzhi Mountain, in a desolate wilderness.

Chi Lianyun's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the scorched earth and the cracked ground, his anger almost uncontrollable.

"Precious Mirror, my Mysterious Pivot Precious Mirror!"

Taking a deep breath, Chi Lianyun flicked his sleeves, his gaze fixed on the dark-colored building and the faintly visible branches of water and fire vines. His lips trembled slightly as he muttered to himself:

"Do not act rashly, absolutely do not act rashly!"

"Once it is revealed that the Xuan Shu Treasure Mirror originally belonged to me, how can I explain why it fell into the hands of heretics?"

"We must devise a sound strategy to ensure we can reclaim it without any future troubles!"

Chi Lianyun immediately fell into deep thought.

After a full quarter of an hour, he suddenly looked up and sneered:

"I almost forgot that my brother had another arrangement in the vast desert."

"Everyone in the valley already knows that Chen Fayan received the imperial decree. He seems to have a close relationship with Yan Chen, and they will most likely go together!"

"If that's the case, then things are much easier!"
