Chapter 97: Great Yin-Yang Art

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Laozi refused Lu Yun's request almost without a second thought.

"Ding! The host has followed the advice and obtained: one Rare Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun happily accepted a Fine Treasure Chest and immediately opened it with a backhand motion.

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: Great Yin-Yang Art!"

Lu Yun's eyes lit up; he had not expected to obtain another Great Dao Divine Ability! He immediately extracted the reward, and the relevant introduction to the Great Yin-Yang Art instantly appeared in his mind.

Dividing Yin and Yang to give birth to the Four Symbols, it contains the mechanism of the Great Dao! It is one of the three thousand Great Dao divine abilities from the world of *Immortal Execution*, and its ranking is even ahead of the *Great Devouring Art* he obtained previously! Very good! Lu Yun was very satisfied with this reward, but he responded to Laozi in a disappointed tone: "That is truly a pity; I can only continue to preach the Dao."

Laozi's expression sank, but he had to steady his mind.

He did not rebuke Lu Yun for his exorbitant demands, but instead gave his own price, saying: "Don't even think about the Taiji Diagram! If you join the Ren Sect, this poor Daoist can give you the Off-Ground Flame Flag."

It must be said that his offer was quite generous, as he was actually bestowing a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Off-Ground Flame Flag, one of the Innate Five Directions Flags!

A spiritual treasure of this level is regarded as a precious treasure even by Saints, and ordinary Quasi-Saints might not even possess one.

Yet, his generosity came with a prerequisite: Lu Yun must join his Ren Sect.

In this way, the merit of the education Lu Yun had done previously would be counted as part of the Ren Sect, which would be enough to greatly increase the Human Teachings Luck, and the Ren Sect would also gain a disciple with Heaven-Defying Comprehension—it was simply killing many birds with one stone! Lu Yun curled his lips and said: "I can prove the Dao on my own; why would I need to join your Ren Sect?"

After speaking, he ignored Laozi, turned to look toward the Lotus Lantern, and said in a loud voice: "Next, I will continue to preach the Dao! But what I am about to teach is not the content of the Literature Dao, but the Martial Dao!"

Seeing him be so unappreciative, Laozi's face turned livid with anger.

Yuanshi keenly sensed the change in his eldest brother's expression; although he did not know exactly what had happened, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

But Yuanshi felt secretly happy about this in his heart.

Because if Laozi were not provoked, he might not necessarily join him in dealing with those twelve Ancestral Witches!

As for Tongtian, if both of his brothers took action, could Tongtian really disregard brotherly affection and stand by as a spectator? When the time came, with the Three Pure Ones acting together, they would only need to let Tongtian block Nuwa, and he, Yuanshi, could naturally suppress those twelve Ancestral Witches and obliterate that human Lu Yun in a joint effort with Laozi! As for whether there would be other variables, Yuanshi had already calculated them.

Isn't there still the Demon Race stirring up trouble?

When the time comes, just let them take action together; presumably, they would not refuse this opportunity! Nuwa's gaze swept obscurely over Laozi, Yuanshi, and the others, and she also vaguely guessed some things, but because of this, she became even more determined to protect Lu Yun!

Just now, Laozi must have offered Lu Yun a relatively high price, but in order to preach to the Human Race, Lu Yun had chosen to refuse Laozi, preferring to risk offending the Three Pure Ones.

If she sat by and watched Lu Yun being targeted by the Three Pure Ones, wouldn't she be unworthy of being the Holy Mother of the Human Race?

Moreover, she now believed that Lu Yun definitely possessed astonishing comprehension, and the Dao he preached was indeed intended to help the Human Race! Because for something like creating the Literature Dao, even if someone in the Great Desolation could do it, no one would be willing to yield the results to Lu Yun.

That meant Lu Yun must have comprehended it himself! This point alone meant that as long as Lu Yun did not die young, he would at least have the opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint!

She knew all too well what it meant for the weak Human Race to be able to give birth to a Quasi-Saint, and one who was willing to lead the Human Race to become stronger together.

Therefore, Nuwa solidified her belief in protecting Lu Yun.

To express her stance, before Lu Yun officially began his lecture, she suddenly took action again.

"Swish!"

A wisp of divine light shot out from her hand, instantly landing on the place within the Zhushan Tribe where the Fire of Inheritance was stored, directly taking the Fire of Inheritance along with the humans who were still guarding it.

Two humans flew down in a panic onto the square in front of the Stone Palace, and they heard Nuwa's voice: "From now on, use this Fire of Inheritance to watch the preaching; you will be able to see more clearly!"

It turned out that she was being considerate of the fact that most of the humans in the Zhushan Tribe currently had low cultivation levels; separated by such a distance, they could not see Lu Yun preaching at the peak of the distant mountain at all, and at most could only hear Lu Yun's voice.

As it happened, there was also Fire of Inheritance within the Zhushan Tribe, so she directly extracted it, allowing the humans here to watch the live broadcast of the preaching just like the humans in other places!

The humans present understood Nuwa's intention and were overjoyed, bowing to Nuwa one after another.

"Worship and thank the Holy Mother!"

"No need for such formalities!"

Nuwa just waved her hand indifferently, directly lifting everyone up from a distance.

Afterward, she looked at Laozi again, her gaze meeting his, calm and waveless.

Laozi's expression sank once more.

Although Nuwa had said nothing to him, her previous action was undoubtedly a reminder that she, Nuwa, was the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and she strongly supported Lu Yun's preaching this time!

The implication was that if Laozi and the others insisted on taking action, she might not be able to resist the Three Pure Ones alone, but she could directly abolish the Ren Sect and sever Laozi's foundation as a Saint! Laozi could not help but ask: "Junior Sister, do you really intend to do this?"

The hearts of everyone around tightened, and they all looked at Nuwa nervously, even Yuanshi and Tongtian were no exception.

Nuwa smiled slightly and said: "Senior Brother Taiqing, do you not think this is a great thing for the Human Race?"

With this one sentence, she directly blocked Laozi's mouth.

As the leader of the Ren Sect, Laozi could not very well state that this was not a good thing in front of all the humans, could he?

Otherwise, he would not have needed to secretly transmit his voice to Lu Yun just now, but should have spoken directly!

On the other side, on the mountain peak, Lu Yun also saw everything that happened within the Zhushan Tribe.

He felt Nuwa's stance, and a smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

Afterward, he spoke loudly toward the Lotus Lantern: "I imagine that the humans in all parts of the Great Desolation may not yet know what the Martial Dao is? Let me explain briefly: the Literature Dao I preached before is a method to open the wisdom of my Human Race! And the Martial Dao I am about to teach now is a method of physical cultivation that I have created for the Primordial Human Race, belonging to our Human Race!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap!

Whether it was the humans within the Zhushan Tribe or the humans watching the live broadcast from afar, all of their hearts were shaken! In their minds, a few words kept appearing: a cultivation method belonging to the Human Race! Without a doubt, this was absolutely the thing they had wanted to hear most for countless years!

And this sentence from Lu Yun, when it reached the ears of the audience in the Transmigration Chat Group, suddenly left them all a bit confused. Jiang Ye: "Strange, why is Lu Yun acting foolish again at this time?"

Xiao Ling'er: "Right! Before, when he preached the Literature Dao, he clearly stated that it was a method that all beings in the Great Desolation could practice; why didn't he say that when preaching the Martial Dao?"

Liu Chongxiao: "Can't you all see it yet? The reason he said the Literature Dao could be practiced by all beings in the Great Desolation was so that Laozi wouldn't find an excuse to hinder him!"

Ming Xi: "I know that, but isn't it needed now when preaching the Martial Dao?"

Ling Yan: "I imagine Lu Yun must feel that since he is now within the Heavenly Tribulation, whether he says so or not is no longer important! On the contrary, he can also officially state his own stance!"

Lin Chen: "Correct! Compared to preaching to all beings in the Great Desolation, preaching specifically to the Human Race can better consolidate the Human Race Luck!"

Qiu Wanli: "Haha, it looks like Lu Yun is still very willing to listen to advice; he is working hard for the goal I proposed earlier of becoming the leader of the Human Race!"

……

At the same time, after a moment of stunned silence, the humans in the Zhushan Tribe were the first to begin shouting excitedly.

Lu Yun had not even truly begun to preach the Dao, yet many of the Human Race had already begun to bow and thank him.

Laozi keenly sensed that the fortune of his Ren Sect had begun to decline, which made his expression grow increasingly unsightly.

If it were not for the fact that Lu Yun was still undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, he absolutely would not have been able to resist taking action.

Who would have thought that Lu Yun could actually preach the Dao while undergoing Tribulation Transcendence! It was simply outrageous! On the other side, the many Great Witches behind the twelve Ancestral Witches looked at the surrounding Human Race, who were so excited, and for a moment, many of them also revealed expressions of emotion.

As neighbors of the Human Race, and because the Human Race was born with the same "human" form as them, they were mostly quite close to the Human Race.

They naturally also knew how difficult it was for the Human Race to survive in the Great Desolation.

Although they could provide help to the Human Race, the total number of the Human Race was too large, far exceeding their Wu Clan; they could help for a time, but how could they help forever?

And now, with the appearance of Lu Yun, who had passed down writing to record events, passed down the Literature Dao to enlighten, and was about to pass down the Martial Dao to strengthen the body, the Human Race might finally be able to cast off their previous predicament!

It was no wonder these humans were so happy.

After a good while, the excited humans finally gradually quieted down, and one by one, they looked at Lu Yun again with full anticipation.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and continued, "To enter the Martial Dao, one must internally refine a breath of Qi, and externally refine the muscles, bones, and skin! It can be divided into two different paths: internal arts and external arts!"

"The so-called internal arts are the foundation of martial studies! One needs to calm the heart and focus the spirit. I have used the human body's meridians as a foundation to create special methods for breathing, respiration, and circulating Qi to achieve the effect of refining true Qi!"

"As for external arts, they are the application of the Martial Dao! They require diligent study and hard practice. They are the methods for using various fists, kicks, and weapons that I have derived from observing the ten thousand races of the Great Desolation; they can strengthen the body and also defend against enemies and kill!"

"Below, I will first demonstrate the most basic internal art, the 'Breathing Technique', and the basic martial art, the 'Xingyi Fist'!"

While speaking, Lu Yun began to wave his fists and feet toward the brilliant light blooming from the Lotus Lantern, explaining how to coordinate the moves with the breathing methods.

In countless Human Tribe settlements across the Great Desolation, there was absolute silence! Everyone was intently staring at the image projected by the Fire Inheritance, carefully listening to every word Lu Yun said.

As for the humans of the Zhushan Tribe, they had basically already learned the 'Xingyi Fist' and the 'Breathing Technique', but even so, they still listened very seriously to Lu Yun's explanation, just to verify if there was anything they had learned incorrectly before.

【77】 In fact, they did indeed feel the difference.

In fact, they truly did feel the difference.

Because, with Lu Yun's current cultivation and his understanding of the Martial Dao, practicing these basic fist techniques again produced an effect that was completely incomparable to before, which gave them many new insights.

Lu Yun even very considerately activated the Merit Golden Characters to present the essentials and chants of the Breathing Technique in written form, so that while the Human Race could record them, he also personally demonstrated the usage of the characters again! When Lu Yun finished demonstrating once—

"Boom!"

Just then, another bolt of Tribulation Lightning fell! Lu Yun's movements paused slightly, he silently waited for the Tribulation Lightning to rage, and then quickly circulated the 'Great Devouring Art' to devour the Tribulation Lightning.

After he finished digesting this bolt of Tribulation Lightning, he looked at the Lotus Lantern again and said, "Mastering the 'Xingyi Fist' and the 'Breathing Technique' is enough to step into the perfection of Refining Qi into Spirit! And next, I will continue to teach higher-level martial arts; once mastered, one can reach the perfection of Refining Spirit into Void!"

"The first set of martial arts at this level is the 'Five Thunder Xingyi Fist', which is based on the 'Xingyi Fist' and incorporates the Five Elements Thunder Method! Everyone, watch!"

After speaking, he began to demonstrate again!

Countless humans of the Great Desolation were moved to the extreme in their hearts when they saw the shocking scene of Lu Yun preaching to them while enduring the Heavenly Tribulation.

At the same time, they also cherished this learning opportunity even more!

"Crackle, crackle!"

It could be seen that this time, as Lu Yun waved his fists and feet, his movements were sometimes like flowing clouds and water, and sometimes as if he had transformed into a ferocious beast of the Great Desolation.

Fierce winds raged around his body, the air emitted terrifying explosions, and streaks of thunder light coiled around him. The wind and clouds of heaven and earth were wantonly manipulated by his flowing movements, changing infinitely and dazzling the eyes! Because of the help of the Lotus Lantern, the Fire Inheritance clearly presented Lu Yun's fist techniques before the humans across the Great Desolation, making many humans feel their blood boiling!

Because just by looking at the power of these fist techniques, they felt that if they learned them, they would have the strength to fight against the Demon Race at the Refining Spirit into Void realm, which could greatly improve their ability to survive in the Great Desolation!

And what surprised them even more was that, according to what Lu Yun said, there was more than one set of such martial arts! The humans suppressed the excitement in their hearts and studied even more seriously.

Especially Dashan and the others of the Zhushan Tribe, who had already mastered the 'Xingyi Fist' and the 'Breathing Technique', began to practice along with Lu Yun's movements, and quite a few of them actually broke through on the spot, reaching the Refining Spirit into Void realm!

And just at the moment Lu Yun passed down the 'Five Thunder Xingyi Fist', the Heavenly Dao finally responded again.

"Hum!"

Above the firmament that had been shrouded by the Tribulation Cloud, a Merit Golden Cloud suddenly appeared!

That Merit Golden Cloud was at the center of the Tribulation Cloud, looking so conspicuous.

Such a strange sight had never been seen even by Saints like Nuwa!

What surprised them even more was that as Lu Yun continued to preach the Dao, the coverage of the Merit Golden Cloud gradually expanded.

This made them all unable to help but have a thought: could it be that this Merit Golden Cloud would eventually cover the sky-filling Tribulation Cloud?
