Chapter 43 Understanding Yin and Yang
Yuhua Gate, Wendao Peak, Tiandu Palace.

In the quiet and deserted secret room on the third floor, Hua Tiandu's figure suddenly appeared. He looked around at the slightly unfamiliar environment, but what he was thinking about was the scene before he evacuated the world of Zhutian.

"Who is that mysterious young man?"

Combining everything he knew with the other party's words and actions, he roughly determined some information.

The mysterious young man must have been on his way to refine weapons in the Fire Region when he accidentally heard the rumor that "there are strange people in the Fire Region absorbing the divine flame to practice", which made him have an idea.

However, what was strange was that what those Jin cultivators saw was only the scene of Hua Tiandu flying into the second level of the Fire Domain, while the place where the mysterious man was ambushing was on the third level of the Fire Domain.

There is a possibility that the mysterious young man searched the first and part of the second floors of the Fire Zone without getting any results, and then went to the third floor to try to wait and see.

As for why he didn't go to the fourth level of the Fire Domain, it was probably because his physical body couldn't stay in the fourth level for long.

"This is a patient hunter, and his target is a group of monks with strange physiques..."

After reaching some conclusions, Hua Tiandu identified the ruthless lineage as the most suspicious targets.

"When you travel through the world of Shade of Heaven in the future, you must be on guard against these rats in the gutter."

He had no intention of confronting these people head-on until he had an absolute advantage.

From the perspective of growth, as long as he is promoted to immortal in the future, these people will become ants, even if they are carrying the imperial weapon - the dragon-patterned black gold tripod.

After formulating some strategies for the future, Hua Tiandu stood up and walked to the long table beside him. On the table were some jade bottles, which contained some elixirs needed for his retreat.

In a corner of the long table, there is a magic plate used to calculate the passage of time.

"Hmm? I have been in the Shrouding Heaven World for more than a year, but only such a short time has passed in the Eternal Life World?"

"Could it be that there is no connection between the time inside and outside the Gate of Eternal Life?"

He stared carefully at the scale on the magic disk, then recalled the scale he saw before the time travel. After comparing the two, he came to the conclusion that only a quarter of an hour had passed in the eternal world.

Hua Tiandu really didn't expect that the speed of time flow in the two worlds would be so different.

This fact made him speculate about the nature of the Gate of Eternal Life.

In the world of immortality, powerful Taoist instruments can distort time at will, causing a huge gap between the flow of time inside and outside. Often, thousands of years have passed in the Taoist instrument space, while only a few months or even days have passed in the outside world.

"Could it be that the Gate of Eternal Life is just a supreme magic weapon refined by a certain being?"

After pondering for a moment, Hua Tiandu gave up on this question reluctantly.

There is no other reason. The essence of the Gate of Eternal Life is too high, and it may even have reached the realm of 'transcendence'. It is not something that a small cultivator like him can guess.

In order to avoid suspicion from others, Hua Tiandu sat down again. He planned to practice some auxiliary secret techniques in the Great Yin-Yang Technique and advance to the fourth level of supernatural power - the Yin-Yang Realm.

If one wants to advance to the Yin-Yang realm, one must comprehend the extreme changes of Yin and Yang, transform one's internal energy into Yin and Yang, and cultivate spirituality and wisdom. However, this is not difficult for the Great Yin-Yang Technique.

The 'Sun and Moon Visualization Method' is an inconspicuous secret technique in the Great Yin-Yang Technique. It allows cultivators to perceive the changes of the sun and the moon, and thus comprehend the two poles of Yin and Yang.

Sitting upright on the cushion, Hua Tiandu's memory began to reverse, returning to the time when the Yuhua Feisheng Sutra taught the Great Yin-Yang Art.

The memory images in the spiritual consciousness began to slow down, and finally stopped on an ancient visualization picture.

Nine big suns and nine bright moons hang high in the depths of time and space, releasing endless sunlight and moonlight, illuminating the infinite world and bestowing grace and virtue.

Referring to this 'Sun and Moon in the Same Sky' visualization picture, Hua Tiandu first used his powerful spirit to capture the shapes of the sun and the moon in the picture, and then mobilized a huge amount of five-colored energy to slowly replicate everything he captured in a certain proportion.

One big sun, one bright moon, two big suns, two bright moons... He practiced for years and was obsessed with visualization. He used five-colored energy to completely outline the nine suns and moons in his mind. Although it was only in form but not spirit, it was a good start.

Gradually, as he constantly comprehended the visualization picture day and night, Hua Tian felt the majesty and mystery of the sun and the moon, making the sun and the moon in his mind become vivid, until they became exactly the same as the sun and moon in the visualization picture.

At this moment, the visualization picture deep in the memory actually changed on its own.

Nine suns and moons began to rotate, evolving into traces of the Great Dao in a mysterious trajectory.

“I didn’t expect that this visualization picture would hide a second layer of changes!”

This time, Hua Tiandu's extraordinary understanding played a key role, and countless trajectories were captured and comprehended by him.

The outlines of the nine suns and moons gradually disappeared, leaving only their movement trajectories, eventually forming a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

In the mind, the sun and the moon, which were made up of five-colored qi, began to imitate the changes of the sun and the moon in the visualization picture and began to move along an inexplicable trajectory.

As the five-colored energy in his mind changed, Hua Tian realized the domineering, hot, and bright sun, as well as the soft, cold, and dark moon.

The various extreme mysteries that are realized are integrated with the Gang Qi and transformed into a Tai Chi diagram that rotates endlessly.

At a certain moment, the curve that divides yin and yang in the Tai Chi diagram suddenly expanded infinitely, like a heavenly sword that cuts through the world in the mind and splits all the energy into two.

In an instant, Hua Tian felt that his consciousness and thinking were cut into two halves, one masculine and the other feminine. Both sides held their own poles, but also complemented each other and achieved success.

"Boom boom boom~"

Countless energies surged and split into two streams, one holding the yang and the other holding the yin. The two streams entangled with each other and gradually gave rise to a sense of spirituality and wisdom.

The biggest barrier to entering the fourth level of supernatural power - the Yin-Yang realm, was suddenly broken.

After a long period of seclusion, Hua Tiandu finally made a breakthrough and woke up.

He felt the "hunger" signal transmitted by the five-colored energy and felt helpless.

If one does not "feed" the five-colored energy that differentiates yin and yang, and allows it to condense into a "Holy Infant of Fire Spirit", one cannot be considered to have truly entered the fourth level of the Yin and Yang realm of magical powers.

Although the Zhenwu sword he possesses can release the Zhenwu Qi, it cannot replace the fire-attributed vitality and nourish the five-colored Qi.

While practicing, Hua Tian looked at the time disk beside him and saw that the pointer representing the month had moved three scales, which meant that this retreat had lasted for three months.

"It's time to get out of seclusion."

He closed the restrictions in the secret room and flew out of Tiandu Palace.

Next to the Tianchi Lake outside the palace, a female disciple dressed in the uniform of an inner sect disciple was concentrating on feeding the spirit fish in the pond.

"Junior sister."

Hearing the recognizable gentle voice behind him, Wen Xudan turned around quickly, bowed, and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Hua!"

She looked at Hua Tiandu, who was becoming more majestic and full of stronger aura, and knew that he must have made great progress during his retreat.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on your great progress!"

Hua Tiandu walked a few steps closer, helped his junior sister up, and asked with a smile: "Junior sister, I wonder where Teacher Huo Ling is now?"
