Chapter 373: Reversing Yin and Yang, Manipulating Creation; Rebirth of the Dao Body, Descent of the Bright Venerable

Within the origin of the Five-Colored Divine Light, the Supreme Dao-Dust Pearl, colored like chaos, floated amidst the brilliance of the five lights. The radiance it emitted faintly merged with the five lights, carving out a point of chaos within the five elements.

The Dao-Dust Pearl floated within this patch of chaos, the primordial Yin and Yang energies of black and white intermingling.

Yin and Yang energies are the primordial Qi, the origin of heaven and earth; their essence transcends all malevolent qi, even the Dry Heaven One-Qi Clear Gang, which ranks first in defense among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, is slightly inferior.

Qian Chen had never checked the exchange list of the Lord of Samsara, but he surmised it was of immense value, surpassing ordinary primordial spiritual treasures.

Refining a Jin Dan with primordial Yin and Yang energies.

This is a known method recorded within the Daoist sects, called the Root of the Great Dao—the Taiji Primordial Pill.

Like other supreme-grade Golden Cores, this pill also contains the prototype of a great divine ability.

That is the Reversing of Yin and Yang, which ranks second among the Thirty-Six Yuan Yuan Tiangang Methods and is known as the gestation of the two forms, the root of heaven and earth.

Once cultivated by a Core Formation cultivator, one can master one of the thirty-six Yin-Yang divine abilities, and after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, use this as a foundation to refine a true Great Yin-Yang Divine Ability.

Moreover, the Yuan Yuan Tiangang Method of Reversing Yin and Yang contains a total of nine great divine abilities.

These include the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, the Supreme Yin-Yang Fan, the Two Forms Micro-Dust Array, the Life-Death Yin-Yang Mirror, the Male-Female Dragon-Tiger Sword, the Taiji Diagram, and so on. Used for self-protection, it is the best in defense; used for offense, it is unparalleled in slaughter. Reversing life and death, it is omnipotent in manipulating the two forms.

Qian Chen had desired to cultivate the Nine-Turn Pill Dao to directly enter the Daoist Lord realm, and had considered entering the Dao via the Taiji Primordial Pill, but ultimately abandoned the idea, recalling that it had been countless billions of years since the opening of heaven and earth in the Earth Immortal Realm, and the Yin and Yang energies between heaven and earth had long been exhausted by predecessors.

Now, however, he had this opportunity.

The Yin and Yang energies revolved slowly around the Dao-Dust Pearl, like two Yin-Yang fish chasing each other. At this instant, the Supreme Dao-Dust Pearl suddenly blurred, the chaos-colored pearl body suddenly split into two, projecting into the Yin-Yang fish.

The Yin fish had a Yang eye, the Yang fish had a Yin eye, and their mutual pursuit transformed them into a Taiji Diagram.

Qian Chen's soul floated within the Taiji Diagram, clearly appearing as he did in his previous life. As the Taiji Diagram revolved, the energy refined by the Bamboo Bear was washed away, the Yin and Yang energies returned to their origin and began to revolve slowly.

The Kong Que Demon King had by now sensed the agitation of the Yin and Yang energies in his belly. He did not immediately think of Qian Chen, merely assuming Seeing Yan Shu had played some trick inside. He sneered coldly, thinking to himself: "I shall let you know, no matter what virulent poison or insect divine ability you have, even if a Nascent Soul True Immortal entered my belly, they would not be able to stir up any trouble!"

He immediately abandoned the Bamboo Bear he was stepping on, whose body was tattered, and activated the Five-Colored Divine Light to begin refining the Yin and Yang energies in his belly.

Within the origin of the Five-Colored Divine Light, the tyrannical and peerless divine light rotated, the five elements flowing in order and reverse, decomposing all impurities within.

The essence of the Yin and Yang energies was extremely high, not something that the perfected Five-Colored Divine Light could refine.

But the Kong Que did not intend to refine the Yin-Yang origin; he only wanted to refine the impurities within. Without the brand of Chi Tie, the Yin and Yang energies would not be controlled by anyone, and would sit quietly in the Kong Que Demon King's belly—there was no safer place than this.

But this was exactly what Qian Chen had calculated.

"Without true fire, I shall use your Five-Colored Divine Light as fire to refine the Yin and Yang energies for me and temper their essence."

Qian Chen was extremely calm in his heart. Even though he was worried about the safety of Seeing Yan Shu and the two junior sisters outside the Five-Colored Divine Light, he was able to cut off distracting thoughts at this critical moment and concentrate on refining the Yin and Yang energies.

"I had long calculated that the most suitable Jin Dan path for me is the head of the Thirty-Six Yuan Yuan Tiangang Methods—the one known as Manipulating Creation."

"After all, the Dao-Dust Pearl is not like other things. Its essence is too high; neither Yin and Yang nor the five elements are sufficient to completely refine its potential."

"Today, being forced to abandon my physical body and form a core with Yin and Yang, I can just happen to test the deduction in my heart—the one who manipulates creation is the Heavenly Dao! Forming a core with the Dao-Dust Pearl is to refine the Heavenly Dao within the pearl."

"Yin and Yang, the five elements, the three talents, the four images, the Hunyuan Eight Trigrams—all can be traced back to the origin. Perhaps only by having them all, encompassing everything, can one touch the path of creation. Then, outside the Nine-Turn Pill Dao, perhaps I must introduce the Nine-Return Pill Dao, using the method of returning the pill, one turn and one return, to step onto the path of Manipulating Creation!"

With the full assistance of the Kong Que Bright King, the Yin and Yang energies shed all acquired impurities in an instant.

If Qian Chen had done this step himself, he would have had to endure three years of bitter toil. After all, not everyone has an ancient great demon approaching the Nascent Soul stage, using the most suitable great divine ability to refine acquired things, to assist with all their might.

Outside, the Kong Que's expression changed, and he hesitated: "This feeling, is it about to form a core? I am already at the Yang Spirit stage, how can I still form a core?"

"It wouldn't be... about to lay an egg, would it!"

The Kong Que Demon King's expression changed. In the cultivation world, there were many examples of accidentally swallowing foreign objects, failing to digest them, and turning them into gestation.

As a male bird, he felt this sensation very strangely.

"Impossible. I have calculated that these Yin and Yang energies are not the origin of the cosmos, why can I not refine them?" There was a trace of panic in the Kong Que's heart.

He could not care about dealing a lethal blow to completely resolve Seeing Yan Shu and the others. He only let the Dragon Tree King clean up the mess, while he himself squatted down in his massive original form, activating the Five-Colored Divine Light with all his might to refine the foreign object in his belly.

Seeing Yan Shu had already discovered that something was wrong. Now, they were protected by Si Princess Qingcheng, who still had combat power, unfolding her Jin Dan Realm to protect them and the remaining human cultivators, resisting stubbornly in Iron Pass City.

The Kong Que Bright King tore at the Chi Tie Spirit King a few times and then stopped, silently circulating his true essence. Seeing Yan Shu saw all of this, and he was suddenly encouraged: "Ning Ning Shimei Si, Ning Ning Shimei Ning, no need to prepare to burn your souls. Qian Shidi Qian seems to have succeeded!"

"I knew it, even the Five-Colored Divine Light cannot refine Senior Brother..."

Si Princess Qingcheng supported the divine realm, encouraged.

At this moment, a tyrannical and strange momentum rose from the Kong Que's body. The surrounding qi, which had appeared agitated and chaotic due to the great battle, suddenly wrapped around the energy within a radius of ten thousand miles and swept toward the Kong Que.

The Great Venerable of the Cultivation Alliance struggled to rise with his broken body, despairing: "Having seized the Yin and Yang energies, is it about to achieve the Nascent Soul Demon Saint realm?"

"No, achieving the Nascent Soul realm shouldn't just have this little commotion!" Among the Samsara travelers, the Daoist driving the talisman-bean soldiers shook his head: "This gives me a feeling a bit like forming a core..."

"Wait..." Someone looked at their own skin burned by the demon fire, tested the firelight, and a chill struck. Where it was burned, the demon fire all turned into coldness.

A cultivator whose hair was burning with the Yang fire that never extinguished all year round due to a cultivation deviation also touched his head.

He felt the coolness like water soaking into the hair roots in his hand.

On the broken Five Elements Mountain, the Great Fire that burned the Dharma-Faith Golden Body and melted the gold water suddenly turned cold, freezing the wound.

The cold water flow turned scorching, the flowing torrent solidified strangely...

The sturdy sword artifacts turned into mud...

The demon-ghost things turned into flesh and blood bodies, while the living humans and demons present felt Yin qi rising from their bones.

After testing a little, the Yin Spirit Great Venerable and the remaining few Samsara travelers, and even Seeing Yan Shu and Si Princess Qingcheng, said in unison: "Reversing Yin and Yang!"

Movement and stillness, water and fire, life and death, truth and illusion, void and reality, light and darkness—all Yin-Yang opposites were completely reversed and chaotic.

The Yin and Yang energies in the Kong Que's belly had turned into a blurred Jin Dan. Every time the Yin and Yang revolved and changed on it, this scattered core shadow would solidify by a point.

Core Formation Phenomenon—Reversing Yin and Yang!

Heaven and earth seemed to be suddenly reversed, everyone lost weight and flew up, heaven and earth mixed into primordial chaos. Although it was unknown whether it was true or false, time, space, and matter suddenly lost their meaning, as if returning to chaos.

Core Formation Phenomenon—Primordial Taiji!

The various pill paths recorded in the "Supreme Pill Book" and Qian Chen's several accumulations all played a role. The Primordial Taiji Pill was smooth and successful, about to be formed. In the void, eighteen of the most secretive and strange demon lords descended. They had just arrived outside the Jin Dan when they let out a wail.

"Who the hell is forming a core inside the Five-Colored Divine Light?"

In the Nine Netherworlds, a Supreme Supreme Tian Mo roared toward the void.

The Kong Que Bright King desperately activated the Five-Colored Divine Light. The Primordial Taiji Pill could not be refined, but the descending demon lords were all dead! The Kong Que let out a muffled groan: "Demonic means? Nothing more than this... But why do I still feel like I'm forming a core?"

"Was my perception tampered with by the demon lords, confusing my mind?"

"Or is there something else strange?" Various lights flashed in the Kong Que's eyes. Even though he was influenced by his bloodline and his temperament began to become tyrannical, it did not affect his wisdom.

The Kong Que's eyes flashed, and he immediately attacked, grabbing toward the divine realm supported by Si Princess Qingcheng.

"No matter what, I'll catch you all first!"

Seeing Yan Shu's expression tightened, and he whispered: "Cannot drag down Qian Shidi!" His life-bound sword embryo had been kept until the end. This time, it vibrated slightly again, but before Seeing Yan Shu could deliver a sword strike, the Kong Que only had time to attack halfway when a great pain came from his belly as if the rivers and seas were overturning.

Within that patch of chaos where the five lights rotated, a Jin Dan had clearly already formed.

Qian Chen's soul merged with the Jin Dan, restoring his magic power, even surpassing the past. As soon as he merged with the Jin Dan, he triggered a bit of the Dao-Dust Pearl's power. Yin and Yang revolved, black and white mixed into chaos, and he began to refine the origin of the Five-Colored Divine Light in reverse.

The origin was forcibly stripped away, just like extracting bone and sucking marrow, immediately affecting the Kong Que.

The ancient bloodline had long been inseparable from the Five-Colored Divine Light. In this way, Qian Chen's forcible seizure of the origin was like pulling out the nerves in the bones bit by bit. Every inch of the Kong Que's divine body and soul was in great pain. The Kong Que's eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.

The massive demon body rolled, grinding several small mountains into dust.

The five elements reversed, and a spiritual fetus was gestated in that patch of chaos, taking root in the Five-Colored Divine Light, absorbing the origin of the Kong Que Bright King.

Core Formation Phenomenon—Rebirth of the Dao Body!

The five-element essence refined from eighty million humans was absorbed by Qian Chen's spiritual fetus. A Dao body, with a face seven parts similar to his previous life and three parts features of this life, was extracting the Kong Que's five-element origin.

Like the demon body of a dinosaur, the five five-colored feathers at the tail, which were like long swords, gradually dimmed, and the brilliance was drawn from the tail feathers into the belly.

The foundation was gradually eroded, and the Kong Que Demon King let out a long howl toward the sky: "Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Seizing the Dao!"

Qian Chen used the Jin Dan as a root, reborn as a Dao body, sitting right in that patch of chaos. Even though he had cultivated an innate Dao body, it only used up one-tenth of the Kong Que Bright King's Five-Colored Divine Light origin. The remaining Five-Colored Divine Light was still drawn into the chaos by Qian Chen.

On one hand, he cultivated another Jin Dan in the Dao body's sea of qi—Five Elements Heavenly Escape.

On the other hand, he drew away the Five-Colored Divine Light, turning it into a light sword like a sword feather in his hand.

Outside, the Kong Que Demon King's true body saw the five tail feathers behind him gradually dim. Although the Kong Que Bright King had a thousand divine abilities, he had no way to deal with the Five-Colored Divine Light refining the strongest part in his own belly.

This was his fatal flaw.

Before Iron Pass, the crowd of humans and demons watched the Kong Que Demon King, who had been so fierce, wailing and rolling on the ground, and could not help but feel cold. The Bamboo Bear was on the verge of death, lifting its blood-stained black and white head, and spat out a word: "Karma is retribution!"

The Dragon Tree Demon King tossed and turned for half a day, and the crowd of humans and demons watched solemnly for half a day, until the tail feathers withered and the Kong Que Bright King was on the verge of death, before a five-colored brilliance broke out from his back.

Qian Chen, wearing black and white Daoist robes and holding a five-light long sword, walked out from the Kong Que's back and sat cross-legged on the ancient peacock.

"Qian Shidi!" Seeing Yan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qian Chen.

Si Princess Qingcheng also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, crying with joy, and even Ning Princess Qingcheng, who had just woken up, could not help but reveal a pale smile.

The Karma Fire Red Lotus floated under Qian Chen's seat. He looked up and swept a glance at the demons outside Iron Pass, who were endless as far as the eye could see. He raised the five-colored long sword in his hand. The Dragon Tree Demon King saw this and screamed in a sharp voice: "Bright Venerable, spare my life!"

"The Bright Venerable is the son of the Phoenix. Our demon kingdom is willing to serve the Bright Venerable as master!"

Qian Chen smiled gently: "No need! I find it too smelly..."

A sword light encompassed heaven and earth. The essence of this sword light was still the Five-Colored Divine Light, brushing countless demons within three thousand miles into it in one go, and then turning into the Extinction Sword Intent to cut them down.

The Dragon Tree King did not even let out a sound before his soul flew away and scattered, turning into a dead tree.

The Kong Que, on the verge of death under his seat, lifted his eyelids and took all of this into his eyes. He sneered coldly: "Nothing more than victory or defeat, that is all!" ===== CHAPTER 374 =====
