Chapter 1501: Chapter 6: Lin Qingyi, the Transformations of Yin-Yang Complementarity! (2)

He sighed inwardly: "Lin Qingyi carries the Taiyin inheritance. Her origin is pure, cold yin, which just happens to form a complement with the Pure Yang Body forged by my Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill."

"Last night’s union wasn’t just a venting of desire, but mutual nourishment and harmonization on the level of our origins."

At this moment, he could clearly recall in his mind that when that bone‑deep, chilling Power of Taiyin surged out from within Lin Qingyi’s body, the silver moon within his inner world suddenly brightened by several degrees, interweaving more tightly with the radiance of the "golden sun."

His Spirit Platform also grew somewhat clearer; that Divine Flower became even brighter, its flowing silver brilliance blooming and washing over his Spirit Platform.

Moreover, the domain boundaries that had been somewhat hollow and unstable due to his recent breakthrough quickly became solid and tenacious again under the balance of Yin Yang Qi.

At the same time, the circulation of the three flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, stimulated and neutralized by this external Power of Taiyin, ran even more harmoniously and smoothly, with its efficiency faintly improved yet again.

"No wonder..." Jiang Ning’s gaze slightly sharpened as his thoughts extended: "No wonder that Side-by-Side King back then set his sights on Lin Qingyi, who was still young and had yet to reveal many special traits."

"Perhaps that Old Prince, by relying on some special method, glimpsed the fortune and creation Lin Qingyi would embody today."

Understanding dawned in his heart.

He now had a rough guess as to why Lin Qingyi would be targeted by the Side-by-Side King, who was far away in the Royal Capital and stood aloof from worldly affairs.

At the same time, the intel about that Old Prince surfaced in his mind again.

Peak of First-Grade Martial Arts, an existence at the utmost pinnacle.

And he cultivated both Immortal Martial paths as well.

He understood that whether for a Martial Arts Strongman, or for an Immortal Cultivator—

Someone with a special constitution like Lin Qingyi, for those stuck at bottlenecks and seeking yin–yang harmonization to break through to higher realms, was simply a dreamlike "great medicine"!

Her effect was already beginning to show on him.

One night of tenderness last night had already brought him realm stabilization, an increase in strength, and a rise in Source Energy Points.

His Spirit Platform had also become even clearer.

The exhaustion of many days was completely swept away by just one night of tenderness.

The deep fatigue from entering the Inner Realm repeatedly over the past days was likewise gone without a trace.

Combining his own experience with what was recorded in ancient texts, Jiang Ning’s understanding deepened.

"Back then, when that Old Prince designated Lin Qingyi to be the Princess Consort Qi, it was most likely by no means a simple political marriage or mere hostage control. On a deeper level, he very likely viewed her as a ’living Immortal Pill,’ to be reserved for when he himself needed to break through, or to be used to pave the way for that comatose Prince Qi to awaken in the future."

Thinking of this, a chill flickered in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

No matter what, given his current relationship with Lin Qingyi, there was no way he could stand by and do nothing.

And since Lin Qingyi had entrusted her pure body to him, he all the more had to take responsibility for her.

The events of the past flashed rapidly through his mind.

His gaze accordingly turned toward the room behind him.

The sound of Lin Qingyi’s calm, even breathing still came from within the house.

"Now that I’ve achieved First Grade Mixed Yuan and have the Threefold Unity of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, even if I face that unfathomable Side-by-Side King, it’s not as if I’ll have no room to maneuver."

"And according to our chat last night, there are still some days before that Old Prince emerges from seclusion!"

"With each passing day, my strength will grow a bit more."

"In the Royal Capital, as the Dongling Marquis and concurrently the Zeshan State Patrol Envoy, I can also borrow the strength of Xiao Wuque and the others!"

"He even has the kindness of teaching me! Though we don’t bear the name of master and disciple, in truth we are as such."

"My strength isn’t weak now, and I can still leverage external power!"

Thinking of all this, he took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

Hoo—

As that breath left his abdomen—

His qi shot out like a white pillar, instantly stirring the wind and snow.

The next moment—

His figure flashed and he arrived in the pavilion, then sat down cross‑legged on the spot.

He wanted to see what changes had occurred within his body now that he possessed the trait of Threefold Unity since yesterday. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Threefold Unity—Essence, Qi, and Spirit resonated together, their boundaries dissolving, able to transform naturally at will.

Given that previously his Spirit far exceeded his Essence and Qi, completely balancing them would not be a matter of a moment or two.

But from last night until now, an entire night, several hours, had already passed.

His Heart Spirit sank into his body.

Only to see red, gold, and silver tri-colored radiance circulating endlessly, no longer as clearly separated as yesterday.

Under the effect of the golden trait of Three-Element Unity, the boundaries between Essence, Qi, and Spirit dissolved, interpenetrating and blending with one another, forming a seamless, integrated mixed-yuan phenomenon.

At the Spirit Platform, the silver Divine Flower was still the most resplendent, but its dazzling brilliance had become much gentler, no longer appearing abrupt.

Threads of silver light, as fine as silk, naturally flowed toward the Dantian and the heart, nourishing the golden flower and the red flower.

Within the Dantian, as the golden Flower of Qi rotated, True Yuan condensed like liquid gold, yet within it faintly emerged crimson Qi-Blood patterns and silvery Divine Thought veins, as though it were a wondrous tri-colored flower woven together.

At the heart, the crimson Flower of Essence throbbed vigorously; with every beat it spewed forth blazing Qi-Blood, yet within this Qi-Blood was fused the purity of True Yuan and the nimbleness of Divine Thought.

Between the three, the circulation speed was several tenths faster than yesterday, and the circulation channels were broader and more stable.

From the abdomen, chest, and forehead, three points formed a stable cycle.

The "Essence" and "Qi" that had originally seemed somewhat hollow due to the excessive strength of "Spirit" were now dense and weighty, and the gap with "Spirit" visibly shrank.

In the inner heaven-and-earth, that silver moon and great sun shone upon each other, their radiance falling evenly, with no more bias.

The trend of sun and moon revolving was round and harmonious, and the chaotic aura gestating at their boundary grew ever denser, further consolidating the foundation of the "Domain."

"The harvest of a single night is remarkable." Jiang Ning realized inwardly. "The Three-Element Unity trait is indeed defiant of the heavens. It not only shattered the barriers between Essence, Qi, and Spirit, but also allowed the three to form a dynamic balance, where strengths naturally compensate for weaknesses."

He carefully sensed that at present "Spirit" still held a slight advantage, but "Essence" and "Qi" were racing to catch up.

Judging from the current speed of transformation and nourishment, at most one more day was needed; by this time tomorrow, Essence, Qi, and Spirit would be able to fully balance, reaching the realm of truly "three elements standing side by side, mixed yuan as one."

At that time, not only would his inner heaven-and-earth be stabilized to the utmost limit of his current realm, but the efficiency of the endless circulation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit would also further increase.

Whether for daily cultivation, explosive battle, or facing that Side-by-Side King who was about to leave seclusion, he would possess a sturdier foundation and a calmer confidence.

Jiang Ning withdrew his Heart Spirit and opened his eyes; the red-gold-silver tri-colored anomaly in them flashed and vanished, returning to tranquility. He looked toward the quiet courtyard in the morning light, and a faint, detached smile rose at the corner of his lips.

"Tomorrow, the outcome will be revealed."

After that, he once more looked at his panel.

[Skill]: Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method (Four Times Limit Break 133/50000) (trait: Only True Self (Light Gold), Insight into True Spirit (Deep Purple), Three-Element Unity (Light Gold))

Having walked the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method to this step, he was already prepared to temporarily set this cultivation technique to the back of his mind.

It was not that this cultivation technique was not strong enough.

Four Times Limit Break had brought two golden traits, enough to show how extraordinary this cultivation technique was.

Though in evaluation it was of the same grade as Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill and Vajra Immortal Body,

from bodily experience and from the level of his understanding, it was obvious that the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method’s grade was a level higher.

But for this cultivation technique to break through further in the future, the Source Energy Points consumed would be an astronomical figure, a cost he could not accept right now.

It would require two hundred thousand Source Energy Points to complete the next breakthrough.

And now, because of Lin Qingyi, he needed to raise his strength as quickly as possible to deal with that Old Prince of the Qi Royal Mansion.

Without sufficient strength, there would be no sufficient confidence.

Having reached this point, given his relationship with Lin Qingyi, it was impossible for him to sit back and do nothing.

"The urgent task is to prioritize enhancing combat power!" he silently said to himself in his heart.

Then he looked to the other Skills on the panel.

Five Animals Fist... Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill... Vajra Immortal Body... Spring Treasure Manual... Summer Treasure Manual... Taixu Yin Yang Sword... Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire True Technique...

Looking at the Skills on the panel that could enter his discerning eyes, one dazzling technique after another, his gaze rapidly swept across.

Then, it fell upon the Spring Treasure Manual, Summer Treasure Manual, as well as Nine Nether Tribulation Fire True Technique and Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

"As for the Four Seasons Treasure Manual, some days ago the message from Wanhua Building said it had already been completely collected. What is difficult for others to accomplish is simple for me!"

"The twenty-four solar terms converge into the four seasons, and the four seasons in turn touch upon the mighty power of reincarnation and even time itself!"

Thinking of this, his heart stirred slightly.

Afterward, his gaze fell again upon the Skill Nine Nether Tribulation Fire.

The previous inner-realm journey into Shangyang Immortal Sect had allowed him to obtain part of the inheritance of the Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire Great Celestial Venerable.

Water and Fire True Strength had transformed into Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire True Technique, and the grade and power of the cultivation technique had risen to a higher level.

[Skill]: Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire True Technique, First Chapter (Three times limit-breaking 37888/40000) (trait: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes (Light Purple), Fire Eye Spirit Eyes (Light Purple), Heart Tribulation Fire (Light Purple))

Looking at the current progress displayed on the panel, several more thoughts arose in his heart.

Nine Nether Tribulation Fire was not far from its next breakthrough!
