Chapter 246 Tian Jizi
Bai Bi had left, leaving only a trace of faint fragrance lingering on the fingertips.
Three days later, Brother Xuan Zhong also sent a message, taking Shi Linger with him to leave the Sect to pursue the delicacies of the world and travel among the heavens.
It was also on this day that Elder Chun Ye tore through space and arrived, bringing with him three gourds of Pure Yang Water and ten gourds of Soul Condensation Fluid.
One was for refining objects within the Inner World, the other for refining the Primordial Spirit.
These were both highly sought-after resources, and were Yang Ji's portion as the Dao Child, allocated by the Sect.
Coming from the Realm of Extreme Void, it had taken eighty years, and that was with Xuan Zhong flying at full speed.
Returning there, who knows how many years it would take.
Two hundred and twenty years later, another eight hundred years, and the Immortal King Minor World would open again.
Yang Ji pondered for a moment, not intending to stay within the Sect too long, and after leaving instructions with Chong Yuan and the others, he embarked with Lang Canghai.
First he visited the Thousand-Islands Sea Area, greeted his master Jian Yuanzi and others within the Sect, left behind some cultivation resources, then set off for the Life and Death Realm to meet with Big Brother Mo Taixu, Second Brother Cang Jie, and the others.
By then, they would be ready to go together to the Immortal King Minor World to comprehend the not-yet-perfected Ten Directions Strangle.
Outside the starry sky, a streak of light tore through space, already speeding off.
As Lang Canghai flew at high speed in the outer reaches, Yang Ji used this time to retreat within the Mount Sea World, refining the fifty-eight gourds of Pure Yang Water traded from the Elder of Myriad Calamities, as well as the two gourds obtained from the Sect.
Time ticked by bit by bit.
After the refinement and absorption of the Pure Yang Water, his Inner World continued to expand.
Sixty years went by in a flash.
All sixty gourds of Pure Yang Water had been completely absorbed, and Yang Ji's Inner World had reached a vast expanse of ninety-two thousand miles in a short time.
He wasn't far from the grand completion of a world of twelve thousand nine hundred sixty miles.
By then, the Inner World could condense into "Origin," as small as particles and as large as worlds, infinitely mysterious.
Then, he could form his Inner World into various seals, such as the World Seal, the Mountain and Sea Seal; a small seal condensed with immense World Force, like Magical Treasures when unleashed, was another form of Immortal Artifact, another form of Immortal Technique, terrifying in its might.
The World Whip used by Jing Po was one application of an Inner World.
Once the Inner World reached that level, it could not only absorb living beings but also truly give birth to life.
To witness the origins of life and the birth of all things was an immensely fortuitous opportunity.
There were rumors that the Inner World was a microcosm of the origins, starting from True Immortal, witnessing the birth of all things, until the attainment of the Great Dao, achieving the status of Immortal King.
This lengthy process, the evolution of life, prosperity, decline, death, cause and effect, destiny, was for you to comprehend, for you to influence.
Once you grasped the truths within, you could understand the true origins and creation.
The Inner World seemed inconsequential but was actually of utmost importance.
Now that the Immortal Peach Tree had taken root within it, the entire Inner World was incredibly stable, transforming from a mud fortress to a copper wall and iron barrier, invulnerable, surpassing the Inner Worlds of others by tenfold, a hundredfold.
At the same time, the Immortal Peach Tree could also emit a faint Immortal Light, spreading in all directions, merging into the ten-sided crystal barriers and continuously expanding the Inner World.
Someday, Yang Ji's Inner World would reach the grand completion of a world, and perhaps even the world of an Immortal King.
This was just a matter of time.
After absorbing the Pure Yang Water, Yang Ji then took out ten gourds of Soul Condensation Fluid and began to refine and absorb it.
Time slowly passed.
Ten years later.
Yang Ji's Primordial Spirit shook, and a more dazzling light shone from the back of his head, the Primordial Spirit Holy Light adding one more beam, totaling twenty-one beams.
The ten gourds of Soul Condensation Fluid had spared him countless years of arduous cultivation, yielding significant gains.
This period of cultivation lasted for seventy years.
Lang Canghai had also raced through space for seventy years, crossing endless and remote starry skies.
But even so, the Life and Death Realm was still extremely distant.
Over these seventy years, aside from refining the Pure Yang Water and Soul Condensation Fluid, Yang Ji had also been multitasking, pondering the Great Dao.
Others needed to be in a state of Dao integration to sense the Great Dao Grid.
But not Yang Ji, as the Dao Child, having slain the Dao Calamity, he possessed the Origin of the Great Dao and could directly comprehend the Great Dao from the Origin.
His speed and efficiency were tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousand times greater than others.
This feeling was like having an extremely complex problem broken down over and over, with annotated solutions marked repeatedly, each step clearly displayed before the eyes.
Great Dao structures, various principles, profound mysteries were all laid bare.
What is Yin Yang?
If Yang Ji wanted to comprehend it, he only needed to merge his thoughts into the Origin of Yin Yang, and then an endless array of Dao and principles would burst forth.
Any two aspects of something are interdependent, transforming into each other, and in opposition to each other.
Like day and night, man and woman, up and down, front and back; all these are the ways of Yin Yang.
The sun is Yang, the earth is Yin, the sky is Yang, the earth is Yin.
The opposition and unity of Yin Yang are the roots of the development of all things.
Anything that is thriving, sprouting, strong, and outward is classified as Yang.
Anything that is calm, cold, restrained, and inward is classified as Yin.
The way of Yin Yang is intricate, concerning myriad things, and extremely mysterious.
The Great Dao simplifies complexity, encompassing all phenomena; it is profound yet easy to grasp, open to your understanding.
Although the Great Dao is obscure and difficult to comprehend, having the Origin of the Great Dao is like having the Heavenly Dao feeding you, fearful that you won't be satiated.
You can grab hold of the Great Dao mysteries with a mere wave of your hand; with such speed, how could you not be swift?
However, as Yang Ji delved deeper, he realized that even the seemingly simple Dao contained infinite mysteries, far too vast and profound.
