Chapter 773: The Principle of the Five Elements, the Transformations of Yin and Yang

Boom!

At the very instant both avatars broke through simultaneously, a slight stir arose in Li Yuan's heart, and his spirit returned to the Dharma Realm.

He saw that within Yuan Shi City, immortal light flowed backward like a waterfall toward the lofty heavens; within that immortal light, a sword lotus turned slowly, and upon its pure white lotus pedestal, countless lotus seeds radiated dazzling brilliance.

It was the breakthrough of the sword lotus body feeding back into the sword lotus itself.

At the same time, within the shadows of Yuan Shi City, the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree trembled gently, moving with the shadows, and even began to spread toward Yuan Shi Mountain and into the shadows of the entire Dharma Realm.

"Eh?"

A slight stir arose in Li Yuan's heart, and he focused his spirit to perceive.

He felt that beneath the shadows, that Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree was growing and expanding at a speed that even surprised him.

"Is this the Shadow Demon Realm?"

Li Yuan was somewhat astonished, then Yu Yu Xuanji stepped into the shadows of the Dharma Realm.

The shadows were vast and boundless, nearly equal to his Dharma Realm, yet extremely desolate and ruined, like an ancient battlefield destroyed over endless ages.

Amidst the desolation, the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree stood like a heavenly pillar; its lush branches and leaves even surpassed the Black Vine Mother Tree, and it was still expanding violently.

"This is quite interesting."

Li Yuan slightly pinched his fingers; with his current attainment in Qing Di Yan, the moment his thought moved, he already knew the changes of the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree and their cause.

The changes in this tree came partly from the breakthrough of the Shadow Demon Body and the foundation accumulated over these years, but mostly from the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree itself!

Or rather, from the cultivators of the Yuan Ying Fa Jie in years past who sacrificed their bodies to the tree in pursuit of Pure Yang!

Although those Yuan Ying cultivators had long since been obliterated by time, their obsession with Pure Yang, along with some faint remnants, still existed within the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree.

At this moment, all of it was drawn out by the Shadow Demon Body.

"Pure Yin Fiendish Qi, not touched by a single trace of Pure Yang..."

Li Yuan walked slowly to the foot of the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree; gazing at the surging, churning Yin Fiendish Qi within the shadows, his mind shifted, and he had already planned the use for all this Yin Fiendish Qi:

"Perhaps, using this Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree as a guide, I can open up a Shadow Demon Realm beneath the shadows..."

"Boom!"

At Li Yuan's thought, the entire Dharma Realm responded in unison.

"Aaaah~"

A dragon's roar resounded throughout the universe; the Torch Dragon crossed the sky and landed upon that Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree.

Then, the immense foundation originating from the Dharma Realm instantly made the Pure Yang Tree tremble violently, expanding at a speed dozens or even hundreds of times faster than before.

In no more than a few breaths, the shadows had clearly transformed into a Shadow Demon Realm centered on the Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree!

"Boom!"

Li Yuan heard the joy of the Dharma Realm.

Just as if it had suddenly devoured a Zuo Wu Jing, the foundation of the Dharma Realm instantly surged by a large margin!

"This is an unexpected joy..."

After focusing his spirit to perceive his own changes, Li Yuan began to patrol the Shadow Demon Realm beneath the shadows.

Beneath the Pure Yang Tree lay a vast lake spanning thousands of li, filled entirely with Shadow Demon Water capable of corroding even the Dharma Realm and the Dharma Heaven.

Apart from this, the realm was empty.

Yet Li Yuan was truly satisfied in his heart.

This realm and the Dharma Realm were like the two sides of Yin and Yang; although its weight was far from comparable to the Yuan Shi Realm, it made the Dharma Realm ever more complete.

"With this Shadow Demon Realm and the Dharma Realm serving as exterior and interior, it is far more stable."

Li Yuan's eyes were very bright.

Although the current Shadow Demon Realm was far less substantial than the Dharma Realm itself, with the Shadow Demon Body present, exploring the depths through the Xing Xing Tongyou Corridor would surely allow it to grow extremely quickly.

Moreover, devouring the Yin Fiendish filth of the place could all be gathered here, used to strengthen the Shadow Demon Lake!
