Chapter 34: Taiyin and Taiyang

Inside the Zhenwu Taoist Scripture Repository, the angry reprimands of Immortal Master Cangqing echoed continuously.

The other four little Daoist boys turned pale, their complexions filled with panic.

For such a long time, although Immortal Master Cangqing was strict with them, he had never been angry, let alone reprimanded them.

Even if they failed to enter the threshold of Taiyin Infinite or Taiyang Infinite all along, Immortal Master Cangqing would only say a couple of words, mostly offering encouragement.

"Zhang Shanfeng, you were chosen by the True Martial Sword, endowed with unique advantages."

"Even I do not have the confidence to teach you, so I asked you to look at the insights and comprehension left by the various past Celestial Masters on the stone wall."

Immortal Master Cangqing's voice was low and slow, "Among these insights and comprehension, didn't they let you walk both Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite at the same time?"

"Indeed not." Lin Yuan nodded.

All the Celestial Master comprehension insights within the Zhenwu Taoist Scripture Repository unilaterally expounded either Taiyin Infinite or Taiyang Infinite.

As for mentioning both at the same time, there truly was none.

Because the past Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Residence likewise only walked one of the paths between Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite.

"Since there was none, why did you act arbitrarily on your own accord?"

"The path of Cultivate requires caution at every step. The path exchanged with the lives of predecessors and Seniors, you changed it just like that?"

Immortal Master Cangqing looked at Lin Yuan with disappointed eyes, "Mountain Peak, having gained the recognition of the True Martial Sword, you only need to proceed step by step. Whether you choose Taiyin Infinite or Taiyang Infinite, short as fifty years, long as eighty years, it can be said you will definitely become a Celestial Master."

"You are the hope of our Celestial Masters Residence, the hope of the world. We are all full of expectations for you, but what have you done?"

Various emotions surged in Immortal Master Cangqing's heart, including fury, disbelief, heartache, and so on.

Little Daoist boy Qing Ping trembled beside them, and they also realized that Lin Yuan might have gone down the wrong path in his Cultivate, otherwise it wouldn't have made Immortal Master Cangqing so angry.

Lin Yuan was a Celestial Master seed after all, and him taking the wrong path felt even more distressing than Immortal Master Cangqing suffering Qi Deviation himself.

"Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite are two completely opposing paths. After dual-cultivating them, your own Foundation has already been affected. Even if you realize something is wrong in the future, do you think you can turn back and re-Cultivate?"

Regret surged in Immortal Master Cangqing's heart.

He should have told Lin Yuan this common sense at the very beginning of Cultivate.

In fact, this cannot be considered an omission.

After all, for the vast majority of people, entering the threshold of either Taiyin Infinite or Taiyang Infinite was already extremely difficult.

Even a Genius like little Daoist boy Qing Ping, who possessed the Aptitude to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, spent nearly a year before gaining anything.

Wanting to comprehend another completely opposite Taiyang Infinite on the premise of entering Taiyin Infinite, the difficulty would undoubtedly skyrocket tenfold or a hundredfold.

Therefore, Immortal Master Cangqing never thought at all that Lin Yuan would simultaneously dual-Cultivate Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite.

Coupled with the guidance from the insights of past Celestial Masters on the stone wall, which had never mentioned the dual cultivation of Taiyin and Taiyang, Immortal Master Cangqing truly did not understand how Lin Yuan managed to piece Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite together.

"I know." Lin Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, "But I feel that cultivating both Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite simultaneously is the most correct path."

Heaven-Defying Comprehension would not lie to him.

Since Lin Yuan was able to comprehend Taiyang Infinite and Taiyin Infinite through Heaven-Defying Comprehension, then the path ahead was definitely not a dead end.

"You feel?" Immortal Master Cangqing laughed in anger.

Ordinary people all knew to take history as a mirror.

The 6,800-year history of the Celestial Masters Residence, and the path chosen for future generations of Disciples by the thirty-six invincible Celestial Masters throughout the world—in the end, was it so lightly denied by Lin Yuan?

Perhaps, taking a step back ten thousand times, combining Taiyin and Taiyang was truly a heavenly avenue surpassing Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite.

But wanting to walk this path through, one would not know how many generations of effort and how many sacrifices it would take.

For example, the Third Generation Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence, after becoming a Celestial Master, wanted to try balancing Yin and Yang, resulting in the end of exploding and dying.

Exploring a new path meant sacrifices were inevitable, which even Celestial Masters could not avoid.

But Lin Yuan was recognized by the True Martial Sword, and becoming a Celestial Master was a sure thing; there was completely no need to take this risk.

Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand.

Not being an invincible Celestial Master, and instead choosing a path with an illusory future ahead—this was also the reason why Immortal Master Cangqing was so angry.

"Starting from today, Mountain Peak, you will stay by my side. I will use True Qi to perform Body Tempering for you every day, eliminating the influence of Taiyin Power and Taiyang power as much as possible. In no more than ten years, your Foundation will be reshaped, and by then you can Cultivate anew."

Immortal Master Cangqing was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"Huh?"

The plump Daoist beside him looked at Immortal Master Cangqing in surprise.

Even as Experts at the Peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, performing Body Tempering for others with True Qi every day required paying a huge price, let alone maintaining it for ten years.

It could be said that if Immortal Master Cangqing dared to do this, he himself would basically be ruined; not to mention that his Cultivate might drop to the Early Stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, at least he would also lose twenty years of lifespan.

"Senior Brother, you—"

Daoist Pingyang, wearing scruffy Daoist robes, sighed deeply.

Although Immortal Master Cangqing was rigid and strict by nature, he truly stood from the perspective of the Celestial Masters Residence.

Lin Yuan was the first person chosen by the True Martial Sword in five hundred years, and even though he had taken the wrong path, Immortal Master Cangqing did not give up, wanting to pull him back as much as possible.

"Master of the residence." Lin Yuan glanced at Immortal Master Cangqing, shook his head, and said, "I still feel that balancing Taiyin and Taiyang is not a dead end. If the master of the residence forcibly chooses for me, I am afraid I will lose interest in the subsequent Cultivate."

Lin Yuan directly rejected Immortal Master Cangqing's words.

Mainly because if he allowed Immortal Master Cangqing to perform Body Tempering for him, Lin Yuan's own secrets definitely could not be kept hidden.

Secondly, Lin Yuan did not think that his current dual Cultivate of Taiyin and Taiyang was wrong.

The feedback of Comprehension Ability from Heaven-Defying Comprehension at every moment made Lin Yuan confirm that this was a path surpassing the past Celestial Masters.

However, Lin Yuan could not explain this matter clearly to Immortal Master Cangqing.

"Very well."

"This is your choice."

"Do not regret it in the future."

Immortal Master Cangqing shook his head.

No matter how unwilling he was, he could only give up on Lin Yuan.

Cultivate was an extremely personal matter, let alone that Lin Yuan had gained the recognition of the True Martial Sword.

He also could not force Lin Yuan to do anything.

Soon, Immortal Master Cangqing and three other Celestial Phenomenon Realm Experts left the Zhenwu Taoist Scripture Repository.

Lin Yuan returned to the front of the Celestial Master stone wall once again and began to fall into deep thought.

He was not frightened by Immortal Master Cangqing's words.

Now this was only his consciousness descending body; even if he truly died from exploding due to dual-cultivating the two paths of Taiyin and Taiyang, it would not cause any damage to his main body situated in the Main World.

Simply put, Lin Yuan had countless opportunities to start over.

Besides, Lin Yuan did not think that he would walk the old path of the Third Generation Celestial Master.

The Third Generation Celestial Master used the status of a Celestial Master to forcibly introduce Taiyin Power, wanting to combine it with the Taiyang power inside his body.

However, the Taiyang power was the power that the Third Generation Celestial Master had Cultivated for nearly a hundred years; how formidable it was! To rashly introduce Taiyin Power without any Foundation, leading to the imbalance of Yin and Yang, it would be strange if he didn't explode and die.
