"Senior Brother Shanfeng, are you okay?"
While Lin Yuan was sorting out his thoughts, Qingping, a junior disciple, cautiously approached.
The other three junior disciples stood not far away and didn't dare to come closer.
"I'm fine," Lin Yuan shook his head.
Compared to the external political machinations, things on Longhu Mountain were relatively pure. The four junior disciples inside the True Martial Dao Repository usually got along well with Lin Yuan.
Even when Lin Yuan received a scolding from Cangqing True Man, these disciples didn't mock him; instead, they expressed genuine concern. Even Lord Cangqing, upon discovering Lin Yuan's 'deviation,' didn't immediately give up but considered a way to bring him back using body refinement, despite the irreversible damage it would cause to himself.
"It must be that the Master misunderstood."
"I find it difficult enough to comprehend either Taiyin Wují or Taiyang Wují. Trying to sense both at the same time is incredibly challenging."
"Senior Brother Shanfeng, sensing two at once is amazing."
Qingping junior whispered.
He wasn't lying. After gaining a slight understanding of Taiyang Wují, Qingping tried to sense Taiyin Wují and found the difficulty skyrocketing. Even with the guidance of Fire Pearls and Ice Pearls, he could barely feel Yin energy. After successfully entering Taiyang Wují, he couldn't sense Yin energy at all, let alone trying to comprehend Taiyin Wují.
Therefore, Lin Yuan's simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang was considered an incredible feat by Qingping.
"Is that so?"
Lin Yuan smiled faintly.
After chatting with the junior disciples for a while, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation. Thanks to his extraordinary insight, he had constant moments of enlightenment.
Especially after studying the insights left by the past Celestial Masters on the stone wall.
In Lin Yuan's mind, the Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository fell into three categories.
The first category belonged to the First Generation Master. Undoubtedly, the First Generation Master's strength stood at the pinnacle among all the Masters, with a substantial lead.
Following that were the Second, Third, Fifteenth, and Twenty-Eighth Generation Masters. Though not on par with the First Generation Master, they were noticeably stronger than the rest. Each of them had significant achievements on their chosen paths of Taiyin and Taiyang Wují.
The remaining Masters, while still surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, seemed somewhat 'ordinary' compared to those in the first two categories.
Lin Yuan believed his path shouldn't be confined by the past Celestial Masters. He was determined to surpass them all.
"My path should not be limited by the past Celestial Masters. I want to surpass every Celestial Master."
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his heart resolute.
Just then, he sensed a presence and looked towards the entrance.
Shortly after, a Daoist from the True Martial Dao Repository walked in.
"Senior Brother Zhang, someone is looking for you."
Even if Lord Cangqing didn't have high expectations or even gave up on him, Lin Yuan's status within the True Martial Dao Repository remained unparalleled. As a disciple recognized by the True Martial Sword, once he became a Celestial Master, he would have control over the entire True Martial Dao Repository. Even if he didn't become a Celestial Master, nobody could command him, including the current Headmaster.
"Elder Longqing?"
Lin Yuan walked out of the True Martial Dao Repository and saw the figure of Daoist Longqing.
Lin Yuan held great respect for Daoist Longqing. After all, without him back then, Lin Yuan would have struggled to survive in the cold, possibly dying from frostbite or starvation. Despite his extraordinary insight enabling Lin Yuan to constantly break through limits and comprehend various techniques, there were still limits.
As an infant without food, even if he could 'hibernate' for a while, it wouldn't be sustainable for long. Moreover, Daoist Longqing had a good relationship with Lin Yuan's father. Although he didn't arrive in time back then, he had treated Lin Yuan well over the years.
"Shanfeng, I heard that the Headmaster was quite upset with you?" Daoist Longqing looked at Lin Yuan with approval and spoke casually.
"I do feel guilty for not meeting the Headmaster's expectations," Lin Yuan nodded.
Lord Cangqing's expectation for Lin Yuan was to become a Master. However, Lin Yuan aimed to surpass the Celestial Masters and become something more than just a Celestial Master.
"Hahaha, the Headmaster usually keeps his emotions in check. It's interesting to see him so worked up because of you," Daoist Longqing laughed.
Suddenly, he became serious and said, "Shanfeng, do you know why I came here today?"
"Did the Headmaster send you to persuade me?" Lin Yuan speculated.
"Indeed," Daoist Longqing nodded. "The Headmaster asked me to talk to you, hoping you would accept the body refinement. He wishes for you to follow the path of the past Celestial Masters and become a Celestial Master like them."
"But now, it seems I don't need to persuade you anymore."
"You just need to live happily. As for whether you become a Celestial Master or not, don't worry too much about it."
Daoist Longqing said, reminiscing about something, "Back then, when I was on good terms with your father, and your mother was pregnant, I wrote to your father, asking what achievements he hoped his son would attain."
"I thought your father would say he wanted his son to become a renowned hero, at the very least inheriting the Zhang family estate."
"However, your father only wished for you to live a happy life."
"In one's life, happiness is a way of living, and living under pressure is also a way. Even the Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository, who were invincible in the world, eventually died thoroughly. As for posthumous fame, who cares after you're dead?"
"I just hope that the path you choose won't lead to regrets in the future."
Daoist Longqing's words left Lin Yuan slightly stunned. He originally thought Daoist Longqing would act as Lord Cangqing's representative, but he directly spoke from Lin Yuan's perspective.
After Daoist Longqing left, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivation.
With the insights left by the past Celestial Masters on the stone wall and the deduction from his extraordinary insight, Lin Yuan's cultivation speed was significantly faster.
According to Lin Yuan's estimation, in a maximum of ten years, he would be able to simultaneously push Taiyin Wují and Taiyang Wují beyond the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
On this day, as Lin Yuan was cultivating, a Daoist in tattered robes appeared behind him silently.
"Elder Pingyang."
Lin Yuan's face showed surprise, immediately greeting him.
Compared to Lord Cangqing, Lin Yuan was more familiar with Daoist Pingyang. Before the journey to the Sword Tomb, Daoist Pingyang often had lively conversations with the disciples at the mountain-side Daoist temple, displaying none of the dignified demeanor expected of someone at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
"Remarkable. Cultivating both Taiyin and Taiyang Wují is something even the past Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository didn't achieve."
Daoist Pingyang nodded appreciatively, expressing his admiration.
Among the 36 Celestial Masters of the True Martial Dao Repository, only the Third Generation Celestial Master had considered cultivating both Yin and Yang paths. However, he attempted to introduce Yin energy after becoming a Celestial Master and the result was less than ideal.
Lin Yuan, even before becoming a Celestial Master, was already contemplating these matters and had put them into practice, truly living up to the recognition of the True Martial Sword.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior Uncle."
Lin Yuan remained calm.
"However, have you considered the path ahead? Cultivating both Taiyin Wují and Taiyang Wují, you may be able to reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. But stepping into the realm of a Celestial Master and surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm requires your true energy to undergo a transformation. When you cultivate both Yin and Yang, once the transformation begins, the Yin and Yang energies will repel each other. The consequences, you should be aware of."
Daoist Pingyang warned.
The consequence is the same as that of the Third Generation Celestial Master, exploding and dying.
"Senior Uncle, regarding this matter, I have already thought about it."
"The reason why Yin and Yang energies repel during the true energy transformation is because they are not originally one entity."
"As long as I fuse the Yin and Yang energies before that, creating a completely new force, and then break through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm again..."
Lin Yuan shared his thoughts.
This was the result of continuous deduction using his extraordinary insight over the past few days, leading to the subsequent path.
"Fuse Yin and Yang energies?"
"That means combining Taiyin Wují and Taiyang Wují together?"
"Are you out of your mind? Two completely opposite forces, you can't even cultivate both at the same time, and now you want to fuse them?"
Daoist Pingyang swallowed hard, truly shocked by Lin Yuan's idea.
It was like trying to merge fire and water.
The final result would either be the fire extinguished and part of the water evaporated, or the water completely evaporated, and the fire suffered significant damage.
More likely, both fire and water would disintegrate simultaneously, with no other possibility.
"You're crazy. You're really crazy."
"Fusing Taiyin Wují and Taiyang Wují, how absurd. Since ancient times, no one has dared to do this."
"Even the First Generation Celestial Master couldn't do it."
"For generations to come, it's impossible for anyone to have such an idea."
Daoist Pingyang muttered to himself, looking at Lin Yuan with incredulous eyes.
Combining two extreme forces through the adjustment of the human body was challenging enough, but fusion? That was seeking death.
Daoist Pingyang opened his mouth to say something more but eventually decided against it.
He could see that Lin Yuan's determination was unwavering, and he truly wanted to merge the two paths of Yin and Yang.
"Ah..."
Daoist Pingyang sighed and turned away.
Lin Yuan watched Daoist Pingyang's departing figure and then walked out of the repository. Standing outside, he looked down from a high vantage point at the mountain below.
"Ancient people didn't dare, and future generations couldn't."
Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, and within the deep recesses of his eyes, the Yin and Yang energies continued to intertwine and collide.
"I will do it." (Ush, how cool ;D)
