Chapter 142 : You Really Know How to Play
Chapter 142: You Really Know How to Play!
“Sure enough, it’s a Dao Body!”
Looking at the lines of text flashing before her eyes, the sword manual in her hand had yet to be closed when Li Yunqing’s body trembled uncontrollably.
Her consciousness seemed to be pulled out of her body, and an illusion suddenly manifested.
The world before her vanished, stars no longer existed, and all things returned to chaos.
It surged like an ocean, waves rising endlessly.
Within the crashing tides of chaos, sprays of chaotic foam scattered.
Earth, water, wind, and fire manifested from it, like beautiful blossoms blooming within chaos.
Yet the moment those splashes fell back into chaos, they instantly returned to it once more.
“Chaos Sea?”
“Earth, water, wind, and fire exist within the Chaos Sea, manifesting due to the movement of chaos?”
Watching the chaotic ocean circulate, Li Yunqing felt a faint realization in her heart.
Chaos gave birth to all things, naturally encompassing yin and yang, the five elements, earth, water, wind, and fire—these fundamental energies.
Or rather, these fundamental energies composed chaos itself.
As chaos circulated, the forces of earth, water, wind, and fire naturally manifested.
Once chaos was split apart, it would transform into the circulation of yin and yang, giving rise to the myriad phenomena of the five elements.
These fundamental energies, through endless circulation, would further give birth to heaven and earth, to all things, to boundless life.
Suddenly—
“Boom!”
An ultimate roar erupted between heaven and earth, like thunder exploding, or divine light cleaving through chaos.
In an instant, chaos split into two—yin and yang manifested.
What is yin and yang?
Yin and yang are cold and heat, stillness and motion, mutual generation and mutual restraint.
They are the endless circulation of two extreme energies after chaos is divided.
In that moment, chaos was opened, yin and yang rotated, devouring and dissolving the endless chaos.
All kinds of energies were born from it.
At times transforming into earth, water, wind, and fire; at times into the five elements—endlessly circulating, colliding, permeating the void.
Thus heaven and earth were born, stars were formed, and space-time came into being.
There was also yang-aligned force, spreading across the firmament, filling endless space-time with vigorous, upward-surging vitality.
And there was yin-aligned force, gathering to carry and nurture all things, merging into countless stars, drifting within the infinite void.
Yin and yang generated and restrained each other—within you there is me, within me there is you—yet they remained clearly distinct at a glance.
In the vast void and endless space-time, all kinds of energies collided violently, flourishing to the extreme—yet no life appeared, no vitality existed.
But upon those countless stars, these energies strangely calmed, gradually gathering.
Through the nourishment, support, and inclusiveness of yin-aligned force, along with the subtle influence of yang-aligned force—
Gradually, cycles of cold and heat emerged, the five elements began to circulate, and vitality started to take root.
“Buzz!”
Strands of yin-aligned force gathered from each star.
They condensed into a gentle, tranquil droplet radiating various lights, which fell directly into Li Yunqing’s brow.
At that instant, Li Yunqing’s entire body trembled. Her five senses opened fully, as if she had merged with heaven and earth.
She felt an immense closeness to the world, as though it were the parents that had given birth to her.
The circulation of the five elements, the alternation of cold and heat, the surging of wind and thunder, life and death, the cycle of the four seasons, the growth of all things… all became invisibly connected to her.
Endless profound truths and Dao essence flowed through her.
For a time, her mind and consciousness were completely immersed, unable to extricate themselves.
Endless insights flowed like a gentle stream, continuous and unbroken, as she gradually comprehended them.
After an unknown amount of time, lines of text rapidly flashed before her eyes.
“Frost Sword Intent: Major Completion → Perfect Completion.”
“Five Elements True Intent: Mastery → Major Completion (1%).”
“Pure Yin True Intent: Initiated → Minor Completion (10%).”
“Yin Spirit: Major Completion (52% → 65%).”
“You have achieved sudden enlightenment of Wind and Thunder True Intent!”
“You have achieved sudden enlightenment of Life and Death True Intent!”
“You have achieved sudden enlightenment of All Things Growth True Intent!”
“Frost Sword Intent has reached Perfect Completion and has automatically merged into Pure Yin True Intent!”
“Pure Yin True Intent has reached Mastery and automatically overrides and integrates all True Intents below its level.”
“Wind and Thunder, Life and Death, and All Things Growth True Intents have merged into Pure Yin True Intent.”
“Pure Yin True Intent has reached Major Completion and automatically overrides and integrates the Five Elements True Intent of the same level.”
“Pure Yin True Intent: Major Completion (20%).”
“So this is the true Pure Yin True Intent—capable of encompassing all True Intents?”
Looking at the rapidly flashing text, Li Yunqing was completely stunned.
She slightly raised her hand. With a thought, Wind and Thunder, Five Elements, Frost, and Life and Death True Intents manifested rapidly in her palm.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to closely align with her.
Her every movement carried an indescribable gentleness and softness.
It was as if her entire being was formed from supreme divine water, capable of nourishing all things in heaven and earth.
Li Yunqing lifted her head and looked out the window at the already withered flowers and plants. With a gentle point of her finger, she said, “All Things Growth!”
“Buzz!”
Immortal-Martial Power flowed from her fingertips. An invisible artistic conception manifested, drawing down the yin-aligned force of heaven and earth.
The flowers and plants outside the window were instantly enveloped in greenery, rapidly growing.
At a visible speed, they blossomed, bore fruit, and then withered—cycling endlessly in an unceasing loop.
“So this is the Pure Yin Dao Body?”
Li Yunqing was deeply shocked.
At this moment, she seemed to be united with the Pure Yin Dao of heaven and earth. Every movement she made could draw down the yin-aligned force of the world.
It was unlike artistic conception, nor like the momentum of heaven and earth. Instead, it resembled a supreme divine ability capable of shaking heaven and earth.
No—it should be a divine ability that invoked the yin-aspect laws and rules of heaven and earth.
If Pure Yin Artistic Conception evolved into Pure Yin Momentum, perhaps it could truly invoke the descent of those laws and rules.
And when Pure Yin True Intent transformed into the laws of heaven and earth, her every movement might possess the power to destroy the world.
“Moreover, by constantly aligning with the Pure Yin Dao, my comprehension of Pure Yin True Intent will continuously improve!”
“In the future, understanding Pure Yin Momentum and the Pure Yin Dao will come naturally.”
“Perhaps even entering the Divine Realm within three years would be too slow for me!”
Li Yunqing’s heart trembled.
A Dao Body, aligned with the Dao of heaven and earth, meant she was constantly comprehending the Dao, its laws, and its rules.
At this rate, with her comprehension and various traits, her growth would only accelerate.
“And also… after the Pure Yin Dao Body formed, it seems I can control the phenomena around me!”
With a light tap of her toes, she moved like a breeze, instantly arriving outside the Sword Pavilion.
The moment her body touched the ground, everything around her was instantly filled with vitality, influenced by the Pure Yin Dao.
The withered flowers, plants, and trees began to turn green at a visible speed.
“Winter Storage!”
With a shift of her thought, the Pure Yin Dao was stirred, and the world seemed to instantly enter winter.
The greenery that had just appeared withered in an instant.
Vitality retreated into the trunks and the earth, no longer revealing the slightest trace.
The phenomena around her also dissipated, leaving only an extremely gentle, nourishing Dao essence that was nearly imperceptible.
“Spring Birth, Summer Growth, Autumn Withering, Winter Storage—all are related to vitality. So that’s how it is!”
“If I went farming, wouldn’t it be incredibly easy?”
Right now, she was like the master of creation itself. With a single thought, within a radius of ten zhang, the cycle of growth and decay of all things was entirely under her control.
But looking at the Pure Yin Dao Body’s ability to invoke the Pure Yin Dao, Li Yunqing’s heart pounded violently.
Even with her temperament, she could not help but feel shaken.
“This must never be discovered!”
Realizing the power of the Pure Yin Dao Body, she understood even more clearly the consequences if others found out.
Others would likely resort to any means—clinging desperately, drugging, forcefully taking, even risking their lives—just to possess her.
This was a Dao Body, one aligned with the Dao itself.
Once dual cultivation occurred, it would be akin to directly facing the Pure Yin Dao—likely no less effective than extending one’s lifespan.
Especially her first time—her primal yin—it likely contained the essence of the Pure Yin Dao.
Its effects would be even stronger than ordinary life-extending divine medicines.
One could imagine how those in the Divine Realm, whose lifespans were running out, would go mad if they learned of this.
Thinking of this, Li Yunqing did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Alright, alright—this Dao Body really knows how to play!”
“I’ve become stronger… and also more tempting!”
