Chapter 407 Continue to Comprehend! Dark Yin!
And at this moment, a world within a bowl.
Chen Fan's figure appeared out of thin air under the dragon whisker fruit tree. He staggered two steps and grabbed the tree trunk to steady himself.
"Cough cough..." He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, his face turning pale.
Although the Ascending Yang Technique was powerful, taking a direct hit from a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivator still caused him considerable internal injuries.
"Father-in-law!" Xiaodie jumped down from the tree and quickly helped him up. "Are you hurt?"
"It's alright." Chen Fan waved his hand, sat down cross-legged, and circulated his spiritual energy to regulate his breathing.
When Eunuch Wei, Wu Yuezi, and others arrived upon hearing the news, they were all taken aback by Chen Fan's appearance.
"Eunuch Chen, have you provoked Qinglian Daoist again?" Eunuch Wei frowned.
"It was just a couple of moves." Chen Fan smiled and swallowed a healing pill. "Unfortunately, my understanding of the technique is still incomplete; I can only injure his superficially."
"You still want to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage?" Wu Yuezi glared. "Master, being able to escape unscathed from him is already an incredible feat!"
Chen Fan remained noncommittal and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked at everyone: "Everything's fine at home, you can all go about your business!"
"Alright..." Eunuch Wei and the others were taken aback, and then had no choice but to leave!
After everyone left, Chen Fan got up and walked towards the library.
This battle with the Green Lotus Daoist gave him a deeper understanding of the art of rising to the sun, and also revealed its shortcomings.
He wants to continue to refine this technique.
Pushing open the wooden door of the library, Chen Fan sat down at the table, but instead of immediately reading, he spread out his palms.
A grayish-white light appeared in his palm, condensing into a ball of light the size of a pigeon egg.
The energy within the sphere flowed, sometimes as intense as the sun, sometimes as cool as the moon, and sometimes returning to a chaotic gray-white.
"The Art of Ascending to the Sun is based on the concept of cause and effect, which draws upon the rising power of heaven and earth... But in the battle just now, when I used the earth and rocks to support the Azure Lotus for my attack, it seemed to trigger another change."
Chen Fan muttered to himself, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
"Soil and stone belong to the element of earth, thick and heavy, and should naturally sink downwards, yet they are lifted upwards by the rising sun... Does this mean that the rising sun can not only support spiritual power and attacks, but also support all things? Perhaps... even reverse the laws of nature?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Chen Fan's heart began to race.
If that's the case, the potential of the Ascension Technique will far exceed his imagination!
He immediately closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness, and began to deduce.
The gray-white concept of cause and effect surged in my mind, evolving into countless possibilities.
Time passes little by little.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze suddenly flashing with a sharp light.
He raised his hand, and the gray-white light in his palm condensed once more.
This time, however, the sphere of light did not rise. Instead, it collapsed inward, eventually transforming into a gray rune the size of a fingernail, which floated silently.
The runes are ancient in shape, resembling neither characters nor pictures, with mysterious patterns flowing across their surface, subtly conveying the idea of the earth's stagnation and the return of all things to their origin.
With a thought, Chen Fan sent the runes fluttering down and touching the ground.
The next moment, the ground within a three-foot radius of the rune suddenly sank three inches, as if it had been compacted by an invisible force!
"This is... the reversal of rising sun, transforming into sinking?" A look of understanding appeared in Chen Fan's eyes. "Rising is yang, sinking is yin, yin and yang complement each other, only then is it perfect."
He dispersed the runes, and the ground returned to its original state.
"It's not enough; this is just the initial form." Chen Fan shook his head. "It needs more insights and further deductions."
He got up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a copy of "On Yin and Yang," and then took a volume of "The Evolution of the Five Elements" back to the table to study it carefully.
About two hours have passed.
Chen Fan put down the last volume of "On Yin and Yang" in his hand, his eyes gleaming as he seemed to be deep in thought.
The internal injuries he sustained in the battle with Qinglian Daoist had not yet healed, and his chest and abdomen still ached faintly, but at this moment his mind was not on his injuries at all.
The rudimentary form of the art of rising yang has taken shape. The profound mysteries of the flow of yin and yang and the mutual support of rising and falling are repeatedly explored in his mind, like a seed breaking through the soil, eagerly awaiting growth.
"The art of rising to the sun is based on the concept of cause and effect, which draws upon the rising momentum of heaven and earth... However, yin and yang are mutually generative, and where there is rising, there must be sinking, and where there is yang, there must be yin."
Chen Fan muttered to himself, opening his right palm.
A gray-white causal conception slowly emerged, initially appearing as a thin mist, but then began to change.
With a slight thought, the gray-white mist surged upwards like the rising sun, intensely hot, precisely the rising sun's momentum.
Once the ball of light had condensed to the size of a fist, Chen Fan's thoughts shifted again.
The upward momentum suddenly stopped, and then reversed!
The sphere of light collapsed inward, the heat faded, and a coolness descended. The gray-white mist transformed into a deep, dark current, sinking downward.
In just a few breaths, a gray rune the size of a pigeon egg condensed and floated quietly in the palm of the hand. Its surface pattern was mysterious and conveyed the meaning of all things returning to their origin and the earth settling down.
"Rising is yang, sinking is yin... the two are two sides of the same coin."
Chen Fan stared at the runes, and a realization dawned on him.
He flicked his finger, and the gray rune floated to the ground.
laugh!
Centered on the rune, the ground within a five-foot radius silently sank half a foot, the soil and rocks being compacted by an invisible force, becoming as hard as iron.
Even more strangely, the dust in the air seemed to be frozen in place, slowly settling down and no longer floating.
"Sinking Yin..." Chen Fan murmured softly.
With another wave of his hand, the runes dissipated, the ground returned to its original state, and the dust rose again.
"The rising sun is mainly for offense, while the sinking yin is mainly for defense, and can also trap the enemy... but the two are still not fully integrated."
Chen Fan closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into his sea of consciousness.
Within the sea of consciousness, the gray-white realm of cause and effect surged like the tide, evolving into endless changes.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he fought with the Azure Lotus Daoist. The rising sun sphere supported the Azure Lotus sword energy, causing its power to disperse, and used the earth and rocks to form a barrier to withstand the Nascent Soul's attack.
At that moment, the rising sun's power and the earth's solidifying force naturally combined, and although it was only in its nascent stage, it already displayed its power.
"By leveraging the rising sun and concentrating the yin energy, one can transform external forces into one's own."
Chen Fan opened his eyes and held out his hands in a gesture of support.
A sphere of rising sunlight appeared in his left hand, blazing and scorching, while dark runes condensed in his right hand, deep and heavy.
He took a deep breath and slowly brought his hands together.
The two completely opposite auras clashed violently the moment they came into contact!
The rising sun lifted the clouds upward, while the dark forces suppressed them downward, causing the gray-white mist to surge wildly, almost bursting open.
Chen Fan's forehead was covered in a fine sweat, but his expression remained unchanged. He used his divine sense as a guide and the concept of cause and effect as a medium to forcibly reconcile the two.
Time passed slowly, and about three hours went by.
The conflict between Chen Fan's hands gradually subsided.
The rising sun sphere and the dark yin rune no longer clashed, but began to slowly merge.
The sphere of light, once blazing intensely, now held a touch of calm; the runes, once weighty, now seemed to rise anew. A grayish-white aura swirled ceaselessly, gradually transforming into a fist-sized phantom of a Tai Chi diagram!
The image is divided into Yin and Yang; the Yang half is blazing white like the sun, rising upwards!
The yin area was dark gray, like night, sinking downwards. At the eyes of the yin and yang fish, there was a point of opposing energy flowing, which was precisely yin within yang and yang within yin.
The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated, and with each rotation, its energy became more solid, eventually materializing and hovering in front of Chen Fan.
"It's done."
Happy Holidays everyone!
