Chapter 36 Global Situation

Eight years later.

At the Peak of Longhu Mountain.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a giant boulder.

Swoosh.

Pattering raindrops fell from the sky, evaporating into thin air when they approached within several zhang of Lin Yuan's body.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, overlooking the drifting sea of clouds in the early morning.

"Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite may look like two completely opposite paths, but in essence, they are part of the vast heaven and earth. Taiyin can be converted into Taiyang, and Taiyang can also be converted into Taiyin."

Deep within Lin Yuan's Qi Sea Dantian, the Taiyin Power and Taiyang power turned into two colors of black and white.

They constantly collided, constantly dissipated, and constantly renewed, as if there was no end.

Over these past eight years, Lin Yuan had almost wholeheartedly immersed himself in comprehending Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite.

He had not even improved his Realm by a single bit, still lingering in the Early Stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

For Lin Yuan, having mastered Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite, there was no difference between the Early Stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and the Peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

"This True Martial Sword."

With a slight shift in Lin Yuan's mind, the True Martial Sword hovered in front of him.

The more he comprehended, the more Lin Yuan discovered the terrifying nature of the True Martial Sword.

Compressing the essences of Taiyin Power and Taiyang power entirely into a single sword for future generations to contemplate—such control could only be described as unimaginable.

Over these years, without this True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan's comprehension progress would probably have been somewhat reduced.

"Mastering Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite is not a difficult task, but wanting to fuse the two is truly as difficult as ascending to heaven. Anyone ordinary who touches it dies."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

No wonder Experts like Cangqing Immortal and other Celestial Phenomenon Realm Experts considered this to be a dead end.

Even as strong as a Celestial Master, daring to do this meant certain death with no chance of survival; the Third Generation Celestial Master was an example.

As a powerful Celestial Master of the second tier among the thirty-six Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Residence, did the Third Generation Celestial Master not know the consequences of forcibly introducing Taiyin Power?

"I am different from the Third Generation Celestial Master."

"The Third Generation Celestial Master only intended to walk the path of balancing Yin and Yang after becoming a Celestial Master."

"But by that time, his Foundation was already set. I am different; I have yet to step into the rank of Celestial Master, balancing Yin and Yang, and then fusing Yin and Yang is entirely possible."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Of course, the 'entirely possible' here referred to Lin Yuan, who possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension.

Change to another person, even if their Aptitude remained Heaven-Defying and they gained the recognition of the True Martial Sword, wanting to balance Yin and Yang and fuse Yin and Yang would still have a slim and ethereal hope.

The first is how to master the other after entering the door of Taiyin Infinite or Taiyang Infinite.

Secondly, during the period of balancing Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite, how to fuse the two? In the middle of this, as long as there was the slightest mistake, it would end in a body explosion.

Lin Yuan possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension; as long as it wasn't a certain-death situation, he could seize a glimmer of life.

The terrifying thing about Heaven-Defying Comprehension was that no matter what situation one was in, one could comprehend the most advantageous means for oneself.

Just like eighteen years ago, when Lin Yuan was still an infant and about to be discovered by wild beasts, he comprehended a breathing technique to restrain his aura.

At the verge of starving to death, he comprehended the hibernation breathing technique.

Neither of these two secret techniques required the aid of any Internal Energy or True Qi; they were entirely created based on Lin Yuan's situation at that time.

When fusing Yin and Yang, Lin Yuan also faced countless crises, but he was saved by the relevant secret techniques comprehended through his Heaven-Defying Comprehension.

"Still a little short."

"Still a little short to Breakthrough the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with the power of Taiyin and Taiyang."

Lin Yuan felt the Taiyin and Taiyang powers constantly colliding and intertwining deep within his Qi Sea Dantian, with faint anticipation in his heart.

According to his prediction, breaking through the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with Taiyin Power and Taiyang power would be stronger than all past Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Residence.

How could single Taiyin Power and Taiyang power compare to the power after Taiyin and Taiyang were fused?

After reviewing himself.

Lin Yuan's gaze couldn't help glancing outside Longhu Mountain.

"These years, things haven't been peaceful outside."

In fact, ever since the Wanmo Sect made a comeback more than twenty years ago, the world had not been peaceful.

However, with the suppression of Righteous Path forces like the Celestial Masters Residence, the Wanmo Sect did not dare to be too presumptuous.

However, five years ago, a piece of news suddenly spread from the Wanmo Sect.

The Sect Master of the Myriad Demon Sect had obtained the Legacy of the Original Demon Sect.

The Original Demon Sect was an incomparably ancient force. Logically speaking, it had long since perished in history.

Ever since the establishment of the Celestial Masters Residence six thousand eight hundred years ago.

The successive Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Residence had always been equated with invincibility.

But invincibility did not mean others could not approach.

Six thousand eight hundred years ago, the First Generation Celestial Master emerged into the world holding the True Martial Sword.

That era belonged to the First Generation Celestial Master.

But in that era, another expert was born.

That was the Original Demon Lord.

Although the Original Demon Lord could not beat the First Generation Celestial Master.

But the First Generation Celestial Master could not completely kill this person.

Just like that, amidst their continuous stalemate, they respectively founded the Celestial Masters Residence lineage of Longhu Mountain and the Original Demon Sect lineage.

Finally, the First Generation Celestial Master fought a desperate battle and finally killed the Original Demon Lord.

However, although the Original Demon Lord died, the Original Demon Sect still remained.

Over the next several hundred years, under the joint encirclement and suppression of the Second Generation Celestial Master and the Third Generation Celestial Master.

The Original Demon Sect was finally completely eradicated.

For the thousands of years thereafter, the Original Demon Sect disappeared without a trace and never appeared again.

"It has been too long since the Celestial Masters Residence gave birth to a new Celestial Master—a full five hundred years."

"Without the deterrence of a new Celestial Master, the Demonic Path forces developed rapidly, leading to the Wanmo Sect of today."

According to the convention of successive Celestial Masters, after becoming a Celestial Master.

The very first thing to do was to descend the mountain to sweep away demons and suppress the Demonic Path.

Now there hadn't been a new Celestial Master for five hundred years. Under such circumstances, even if Righteous Path forces like the Celestial Masters Residence still held the advantage.

It undoubtedly gave the Demonic Path plenty of time to develop.

Compared to the Righteous Path, Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques were easy to master quickly, and could even rapidly improve by absorbing human blood and essence.

This was also the reason why Zhang Family Fort was slaughtered.

Apart from the fact that Zhang Family Fort possessed a large amount of wealth, it was even more because of the sufficiently large population and even Experts.

And these, in the eyes of Demonic Path Experts, were no different from coveted delicacies.

"Regardless of whether the news of the Wanmo Sect obtaining the Legacy of the Original Demon Sect is true or false, once this news comes out, the prestige of the Demonic Path will definitely soar."

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Speaking of which, he still had a grudge with the Wanmo Sect.

Eighteen years ago, when Lin Yuan was just born, the entire Zhang Family Fort was slaughtered clean by the eight branch masters of the Wanmo Sect.

Lin Yuan's biological parents all died on that day.

"Senior Brother Shanfeng."

"Senior Brother Shanfeng."

Just at this moment, a shout came over.

A young Daoist priest came trotting over.

"I knew Senior Brother Shanfeng would be here."

Seeing Lin Yuan, this young Daoist priest grinned.

"Ah, Qing Ping."

Lin Yuan turned back and glanced.

This young Daoist priest who came looking for him was precisely the little Daoist boy Qing Ping from back then.

Eight years had passed, and the little Daoist boy Qing Ping had also grown up a lot. Coupled with the fact that he cultivated, he was almost no different from an ordinary adult man.
