Chapter 798 – Comprehending Yin and Yang
Chapter 798 – Comprehending Yin and Yang
It was in this Mountain of Creation that she comprehended the Heavenly Sword, avoided the Spirit World’s watchers, and escaped the fate of death.
Was it the will of heaven?
The eyes of the mountain guardian were flat, but they had their own kind of steadfastness that was indelible over the years.
He smiled softly and said to himself, “Since it’s your chosen one, it’s bound to be different from the norm, so let’s wait and see.”
Meanwhile, on the steps of the mountain road.
Xu Chuniang suddenly stopped moving and looked in the direction of the mountaintop for a long time.
Just a moment ago, she actually had the feeling of being watched.
Skywatcher was a bit strange, “Why don’t you go, is there something up there?”
“Nothing.”
Xu Chuniang retracted her eyes and pressed the sense of strangeness to the bottom of her heart, perhaps she had sensed it wrongly.
She took a deep breath and continued to step up the steps.
After knocking the Golden Ape Clan cultivator down, she climbed a little further up, and the rugged mountain path, after all, flattened out a lot, and neat steps appeared.
As long as one followed the steps upwards, one would be able to reach the peak straight away.
But for some reason, walking on these steps, her body, however, became heavier and heavier.
Every step, it weighed a thousand pounds.
Skywatcher, however, was not surprised, “This is the Mountain of Creation playing a bad trick, the purpose is to not let you guys easily reach the top!”
Xu Chuniang was under immense pressure and had no time to pay attention to his words as she once again stepped onto a new level of steps.
Every dozen steps or so, she had to take a break, and her speed naturally slowed down.
The Skywatcher was a little anxious, afraid of being caught up by the others, and it couldn’t stop looking back down.
“There’s a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”
Seeing that she was silent, he had no choice but to tell both the good news and the bad news at the same time.
“Someone is catching up behind us, but it’s from the Taisu Clan!”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, the Taisu Clan had very few clansmen, but was recognized as the number one strongest clan in the Spirit World!
They were powerful and mysterious, and generally didn’t show up much in the Spirit Realm.
As for the good news that Skywatcher had said, it was because the Taisu clan practiced the Yin-Yang Dao, disliked fighting, and would rarely take the initiative towards other cultivators.
Xu Chuniang looked back, thirty feet away from her, there was a white-clothed female cultivator, picking her way up the stairs.
Her stature was slightly taller than that of the human race, and her entire person revealed a calm and unassuming demeanor, climbing the mountain as if she were walking leisurely, appearing effortless.
The little bit of white between her forehead highlighted her identity as a Tai Su clan.
Seemingly sensing the gaze, the white-clothed female cultivator faintly looked over and locked eyes with Xu Chuniang.
Her face was covered with a white veil, with only a pair of eyes, exposed.
In her eyes, there was a kind of transparency and calmness that pierced through yin and yang, as if all the laws of this world couldn’t escape these eyes of hers.
After a short stare, the Tai Su Clan female cultivator withdrew her gaze and continued to climb the mountain.
She looked as if she wasn’t affected by the pressure exerted by the steps, and her speed was much faster than Xu Chuniang’s.
In just half an incense stick’s time, she caught up.
Xu Chuniang subconsciously slowed down her movements, her gaze landing on the Tai Su Clan female cultivator.
The other party, however, ignored her gawking and quickly surpassed her, walking to the front, leaving behind only a fading back.
“That …… you don’t need to feel upset, some people are born destined to be mountains rather than streams, the Taisu clan is like that.”
Skywatcher surveyed her face, coughed lightly, and said in a less than natural tone.
“They are a race that is favored by the Heavenly Dao, there is no need for you, as an ordinary human, to compare yourself to them.
Every time the Ten Thousand Races Trial, the Taisu Race is number one, even the three races of Taikoo, Tai Witch, and Tai Demon combined are not their opponents!” Xu Chuniang hooked her lips in a smile, “Why would I want to compare myself with others? I just felt a very special aura on her, that’s why I looked at her a few more times.”
“A very special aura?”
Skywatcher froze, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.
Xu Chuniang closed her eyes and recalled.
“Clean, transparent, pure.”
She opened her eyes, and a bright light flashed in her eyes, “Could it be that this is the reason why the Tai Su Clan is able to comprehend the Laws of Yin and Yang?”
With a slight movement of her mind, she took out the Yin-Yang Twin Flower that still had four petals, plucked two petals from it, and felt the scent on it.
It was equally clean and transparent, yet pure.
Skywatcher stared at the two petals and came to a realization.
“I understand! This yin and yang law is actually not restricted by the mountain’s forbidden laws, so no wonder that Tai Su Clan female cultivator from the party was walking so fast!”
He couldn’t help but be a little jealous, “Is the Taisu Clan the Heavenly Dao’s own son? This talent is too heaven-defying.
No wonder every time the Ten Thousand Clans Trials are held, they are able to secure the number one position, this yin and yang law is simply too strong!”
“The Dao gives birth to yin and yang, and it’s normal that the yin and yang twin laws are inherently outside of the three realms, not in the five elements, and are not subject to the restrictions of the forbidden laws.”
Xu Chuniang, however, didn’t feel surprised, as she collected the Yin-Yang Twin Life Flower with only two petals left, and with a gentle push of her fingers, she crushed the two petals that she had just plucked off not long ago.
There was a yin and a yang law that poured out along the broken places on the petals.
Immediately afterward, these two laws naturally entangled together, invisibly dissipating the pressure around them.
Xu Chuniang only felt her body lighten, and that omnipresent pressure had indeed disappeared.
In her divine soul, a new strand of divine sense coalesced.
Even the dried up spirit veins nourished some aura.
This yin and yang law was truly divine.
Xu Chuniang didn’t take the opportunity to move upwards, but instead released her divine sense, quietly feeling the confrontation between the Laws of Yin and Yang and the mountain’s forbidden laws.
The forbidden law was very overbearing, ruthlessly crushing every strand of divine sense and aura.
On the other hand, the Laws of Yin and Yang appeared to be supple, but they formed a small world of their own, blocking the forbidden laws with four or two pounds.
Even if the forbidden law was overbearing, it could not destroy this small world.
A glimmer of realization flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, the Tai Su Clan cultivators were able to remain unaffected by the forbidden laws, perhaps because of this.
There weren’t many yin and yang laws contained in the flower petals, and soon, a break appeared in this small world.
The forbidden laws re-covered Xu Chuniang, silently devouring her divine sense, along with the aura in her body.
The pressure around her also fell on her once more.
Skywatcher looked at her expectantly, “Well, have you comprehended the Laws of Yin and Yang?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head and lifted her steps towards the steps, “It’s not that fast.”
Skywatcher had some regrets, but knew that the Laws of Yin and Yang could not be comprehended in a moment.
Otherwise, the Tai Su Clan wouldn’t have become the number one strongest clan in the Spirit World just because of it.
“It’s a pity that those two petals were just wasted.”
Wasted?
Xu Chuniang didn’t feel that, at the very least, her sense of yin and yang had deepened, and along with it, her understanding of life, death and reality, had also gained a new understanding.
Although this bit of enlightenment wasn’t enough to combat the forbidden laws, it wasn’t all for naught.
Her pace of climbing the mountain, without realizing it, was much lighter and faster.
