Chapter 1089 -s 1038-1039: Life Simulation - Cultivating Both Tao and Martial Arts
In the Great Thousand Worlds, there are countless religious sects, yet among them, there is also mutual rivalry, as well as a hierarchy of disdain for one another.
Like the many sects that occupy the land of Central State, the regions they control are the most quintessential in the Great Thousand Worlds, richest in Spirit Mechanism, and birth the most powerhouses.
Whether it be the Xuantian Hall of the Yunmeng Empire or the Essence Elemental Temple of the Western Regions, or the Nan State Island where Pei Xuanjing originally resided, they all consider these places remote and somewhat look down on the inhabitants as provincials.
In places like Xuantian Hall and Essence Elemental Temple, their influence is unparalleled, keeping a tight control over the dynasty, often ridiculing the many sects in Central State for their loose control over the dynasty and their lack of sufficient capability.
Both sides had contempt for each other and there were continuous conflicts; now seeing the Essence Elemental Temple being sacked, these people were very pleased.

"In a human’s life, the blood essence represents Yang, and the Divine Soul represents Yin. When the soul and essence combine, spirit and body intertwine, shifting between Yin and Yang, they complement each other marvelously. Those who cultivate Martial Arts, with their Yin of the Divine Soul blending with the Yang of the blood essence, unify spirit and flesh, greatly enhancing their cultivation—this is known as employing Yin to supplement Yang. However, those who cultivate the Divine Soul may not know the robust Yang of the blood essence; once transformed, it can nourish the weak vital essence of the Divine Soul, integrating body, spirit, and essence, wherein Yin and Yang complement each other, reaching the supreme path..." Pei Xuanjing read through the scriptures he had seized from the Essence Elemental Temple, meticulously savoring them, completely indifferent to everything outside, regardless of whatever ripples it caused.
The Essence Elemental Temple’s Taoist Skill was most adept at the transformation between Divine Soul and the body; however, the Essence Elemental Temple focused more on using their Taoist Skill to heal injuries and fill in the deficits in vital energy.
But in Pei Xuanjing’s view, this kind of interaction and transformation between Divine Soul and the physical body was essentially another method of simultaneously cultivating both the flesh and the soul, which had significant reference value for his own path of cultivation.
According to the Dao Scripture of the Essence Elemental Temple, the physical body represents Yang, and the Divine Soul represents Yin. From this principle of Yin and Yang complementing and merging spirit and flesh, it undoubtedly forms a supreme path.
Moreover, aside from the transformational cultivation path between body and soul, this Way of Yin and Yang also seemed to Pei Xuanjing an extremely innovative perspective.
All things and all paths in the world arise from Chaos and are born of Yin and Yang. Only with Yin and Yang as the foundation can everything thrive and be nurtured.
The Laws that Pei Xuanjing practiced already involved the Way of Yin and Yang. As he flipped through the Dao Scripture from the Essence Elemental Temple concerning the transformation of Yin and Yang, and the integration of the Divine Soul and body, he began trying to incorporate it into his own Lightning-protection Body Skill.
