"The Path of Yin and Yang is the greatest of the postnatal Dao, from which all beings are born. Therefore, in terms of living creatures alone, it is the supreme path... Before the Nascent Soul forms, cultivators are still mortal in flesh and cannot see beyond appearances to perceive the existence of the Yin and Yang Dao, nor can they understand the transformations of Yin and Yang. As a result, their efforts are a hundredfold yet their achievements are halved."
"In these transformations of Yin and Yang, endless changes exist, embodying the principle that from unity comes duality, from duality comes triplicity, and from triplicity comes the myriad of things."
"Some excel in slaughter, some in repairing flaws, some in nurturing the spirit, and some in creating boundlessly..."
In the quiet scripture vault, the candlewick sputtered with a crackling sound.
