Yin and Yang in Harmony – Yin Births Yang – The Cycle of Yin and Yang
The cultivation of the second engraving of the Longevity Technique was far more difficult than the initial entry stage.
Take Nangong Lingyun as an example.
For Extreme Yang, all it required was to connect with the energy of heaven and earth and condense the first strand of Pure Yang Qi—that would count as a success.But Extreme Yin followed a completely different path. It had to transition from one extreme directly to the other.
In other words, it wasn't as simple as cultivating Yin-attributed Qi.Instead, it had to be born from Extreme Yang—achieving Yin-Yang Harmony, Yin-Yang Coexistence, and Yin-Yang Rotation.
Even a slight mistake in this process, and the out-of-control power could instantly become a nuclear bomb.
To put it simply,the former was like buying a head of cabbage from the market,while the latter was like turning that cabbage into a perfectly balanced gourmet dish—visually appealing, aromatic, and flavorful.
The difficulty wasn't even in the same league.
However, Nangong Lingyun never fought unprepared battles.
As early as six years ago, the day after he bought the Longevity Technique, he had added studies of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams to his daily task list.
When his Pure Yang Qi was nearing its limit,he immediately began simulating the cultivation of the second engraving.
Have you seen what Notting City looks like at 4 AM?Do you understand the weight of 1,000 hours and 300 deaths?
I, Nangong, have made it this far relying solely on my own effort—step by step, drop by drop.
"Diao Chan, play back the successful attempt from last time."
With a mental command from Nangong Lingyun,another version of himself appeared before him—like a 3D holographic projection, but with much more realism and detail.
The preparations were actually already complete.
But he was worried—what if, after more than ten days, he missed some detail?Even a one-in-ten-thousand chance of failure had to be strangled in the cradle.
When it comes to matters of life and death, there's no such thing as being too careful—or doing too much.
After half an hour, confirming he had every important and unimportant step memorized thoroughly,
Nangong Lingyun sat cross-legged on the ground and activated the Pure Yang Qi he had cultivated countless times before.
His once calm Dantian instantly surged like stormy seas,with massive soul power wildly churning within. Before long, a massive, turbulent vortex slowly began to take shape.
After a moment, he silently chanted in his heart:
"Yin and Yang are the laws of all things, the origin of change, the source of life and death, the home of divinity, the Dao of heaven and earth."
"All things carry Yin and embrace Yang. Through Qi they achieve harmony."
"Lonely Yin cannot give birth, and solitary Yang cannot grow."
"Therefore, when Yang exists, Yin does not cease; when Yin exists, Yang does not part. When Yin reaches its extreme, Yang is born; when Yang reaches its extreme, Yin is born. Without Yang, Yin cannot be born. Without Yin, Yang cannot transform. Thus, heaven and earth are harmonized through Yin and Yang."
...
The vortex spun faster and faster.
No one knew how much time had passed when, at the center of that white ocean, a tiny black dot finally emerged.
Yin and Yang are two sides of the same coin.So-called Pure Yang Qi actually already contains a portion of Yin.
And the first step in cultivating the Extreme Yin Engraving is to extract that Yin portion from within it.
Once Yin-Yang Harmony is achieved,he wouldn't just possess both Yin and Yang at the same time—even the Yang portion would become more Yang, breaking past previous limits.
Cultivating only one of Extreme Yin or Extreme Yang always had a cap—just a stronger martial arts technique at best.For the Longevity Technique, that was no better than wasting divine treasure.
Nangong Lingyun didn't dare let his focus slip even for a moment,accelerating the Extreme Yang vortex while carefully manipulating the newly formed Extreme Yin seed to spin in the opposite direction.
Out of his 300 deaths, roughly four-fifths had occurred at this stage.When Yin and Yang fall out of balance, there's no harmony or rotation—just a devastating explosion with unfathomable power.
Fortunately, he now had plenty of successful experiences to rely on.
Step by cautious step, that tiny black dot grew larger, eventually forming a turbulent stream of its own.
A strange Yin-Yang Taiji diagram formed within his Dantian,the Yang side massive as a millstone and imposing,while the Yin side was the size of a peanut—small, pitiful, and helpless.
But the foundational balance had been built. The next step was to strengthen the Pure Yin Qi, without fear of losing control or explosion.
The first time is always the hardest.But once the door's been kicked down, it becomes easier and easier.
Two hours. Just two hours.The second engraving, many times harder than the first initiation, had finally entered the right path.
It sounded easy—but it took 1,000 hours of effort in a simulated space to make it happen.
Nangong Lingyun exhaled deeply.
Strangely, he felt a sense of emptiness and dullness, not the excitement he had imagined.
Had the hundreds of past attempts already burned away all the passion?
Emmm…
After constructing the Yin-Yang Balance, Nangong Lingyun spent the entire next fourteen hours until sunrise tirelessly strengthening the newly born Pure Yin Qi.
Not a moment's rest.
The first cultivation always yields the greatest results.
Because technically, this wasn't growth from refining heavenly energy, but rather a transformation of something already within him.
He was refining the hidden Yin energy within his body,including the spiritual power enhanced by his four 30,000-year-old soul rings,and elevating it into Pure Yin Qi.
Moreover, even in standard cultivation, when Yin and Yang are imbalanced,the weaker side absorbs energy much faster.
Like a pair of interlocking gears—the smaller one spins faster.
In just one night, the tiny black "peanut" grew to basketball size.His soul power level jumped two stages on its own—now at Level 47.
Flying into the sky and gazing at the sunrise over the Star Dou Great Forest,
Nangong Lingyun returned to the Beast Control Space and called out:
"Xiao Chan-chan, enhance the soul rings of my Ancient Desolate Holy Body and Chaos Holy Spirit to their maximum bearable limits."
"As you command, my dearest big brother~"
As eight pitch-black soul rings appeared and began to resonate in a unique rhythm—spinning and pulsating,
his heart finally rippled with emotion.
It hurts!His account balance was vanishing like an avalanche.
[You enhanced the four supreme god-king-grade special soul rings of your Ancient Desolate Holy Body from 70,000 years to 88,000 years.]
[You assigned four new supreme god-king-grade special soul rings to your Chaos Holy Spirit and boosted them straight to 57,000 years.]
[Total enhancement time: 300,000 years. Total cost: 15,000,000 Enjoyment Points.]
(Note: Normal soul rings cost ten times their age; special skills and qualities add extra costs.)
[Your soul power increased from Level 44 to Level 47. Enjoyment Points rewarded: 1,380,000]
[Current Enjoyment Points Balance]: 30,930,000
