Chapter 2645 Yin and Yang as the Foundation
"Fellow Daoists, farewell!"
After leaving the secret palace, Qin Sang bowed to Lady Jade Goddess and Demon Lord Kuang to bid them farewell.
Although this time they didn't completely break off relations, the foundation of trust has been lost, and it will be difficult to maintain the previous relationship. It's best to forget each other and go their separate ways.
Kuang Mojun turned and left.
Lady Jade sighed, hesitating to speak. Although she had been blackmailed by Qin Sang, there was a reason for it, and the outcome was relatively satisfactory, so she didn't harbor much ill will towards Qin Sang. Furthermore, befriending Qin Sang was equivalent to befriending two Demon Lords, and if possible, she would very much like to mend their relationship.
Unfortunately, a broken mirror cannot be mended, and in the end, she could only say goodbye and bow as she saw him off.
After parting ways with Lady Jade Goddess, Qin Sang sped across the sea alone, not lingering in the southern region of Star Sand Sea. He first moved to the vicinity of the Underworld Ancestor Mountain, preparing to keep the appointment with the Demon Lord Luo Luo.
However, there was one more thing he needed to do before going to the appointment.
Seeing a deserted island in the distance, Qin Sang descended from the sky, carved the mountain into a platform, casually set up an array, and took out the jade slip given to him by the Jade Goddess.
While traveling, he read the contents of the jade slip over and over again.
The story begins with a secret technique called "Ten Fiend Yin Pool". The Jade Goddess and Demon Lord Kuang created their dual domains based on this secret technique. The principle is simple: they practiced this secret technique together and jointly created a Yin Pool as the core of their dual domains. Both of their domains were connected through the Yin Pool, and all changes originated from the Yin Pool.
Qin Sang had already memorized the secret technique's text thoroughly. Even Lady Jade God probably couldn't have imagined that he could actually cultivate this secret technique. The so-called Ten Fiends refer to ten kinds of Yin-fiend substances, one of which is Yin Fire, which has similar characteristics to the Nine Netherworld Demon Fire.
However, Qin Sang did not cultivate it. In the future, when he creates dual domains, he will not rely on this secret technique, but will adapt to his own conditions.
His consciousness quickly skimmed over the opening passages of the scripture, focusing instead on the content that followed.
Qin Sang read it over and over again, pondering each passage repeatedly, and then sorting out the thoughts of Demon Lord Kuang and Lady Jade Goddess, and looking for similarities in herself.
Although Qin Sang had only had the jade slip for a short time, it greatly inspired her.
If he were to explore on his own, he might be able to grasp the essence of this and create his own dual domain, but no one knows how long it would take.
With this reference, he could find answers to all his questions, greatly saving his energy—that was its greatest value. In this unfamiliar realm, hostile to the spirit world, improving his strength as soon as possible was essential to ensuring his safety.
In a flash, Qin Sang read the scripture carefully again, and a preliminary idea had already formed in her mind.
A sharp, ringing sound rang out from the sword.
Sword light soared into the sky!
Qin Sang summoned the Taiyin Spirit Sword, its sword intent soaring into the sky, chilling and murderous, even the blazing sun overhead seemed to dim slightly.
No, the sun shining on this place is a new sun, the sun star of the Four Symbols Nine Luminaries Sword Formation, and this area has been enveloped by the sword domain.
The sun is high in the sky, and the starlight is faintly visible under the sunlight. On one side of the sun, the moon slowly rises, and then the other seven luminaries gradually appear, and the nine luminaries shine together!
Qin Sang deliberately restrained the power of his sword domain, only covering a small area of the void around him, leaving the outside world completely unaffected.
He looked up at the stars.
Since he did not fully embrace the way of the sword, he did not comprehend the fundamental divine power of the sword, but he could still regard the Four Symbols Nine Luminaries Sword Formation as his fundamental divine power!
This sword formation embodies his complete understanding of the way of the sword and incorporates the insights of Master Tianyue into sword formations. It can be said to be Qin Sang's masterpiece in the way of the sword.
The Four Symbols and Nine Luminaries Sword Formation forms the backbone of the Sword Domain. Its principles originate from the celestial bodies, including the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Five Planets (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), the two hidden stars Rahu and Ketu, and the Taiyin and Taiyang stars. The sword intent transforms into stars, together supporting a celestial domain.
Hidden within the Sun Star and the Moon Star are two special treasures that only Qin Sang can see—black and white chess pieces.
He shifted his gaze, looking directly at the white pieces inside the Sun Star.
According to his idea, the best way to create a dual domain is to start with the Sun Star, rather than Mars, which is more in line with the Fire Path.
Because the foundation of the dual domains he chose was not some secret technique, but black and white chess pieces, or rather, the Yin and Yang principles represented by the black and white chess pieces!
As the saying goes, "The interplay of Yin and Yang constitutes the Dao," the Dao of Yin and Yang, in Daoist scriptures, is the origin of everything in the universe, the fundamental basis for the emergence of all things. The balance of Yin and Yang is essential for the nurturing of all things; it is the most basic element. Similarly, for the Dual Domain to superimpose and merge two different domains to ultimately maintain stability, the most important requirement is balance!
Qin Sang did not cultivate the Yin-Yang Dao, but the higher his cultivation level, the more profound his understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao became, and the deeper the influence he was on it, subtly guiding him to make various choices.
The Sun Star and the Moon Star serve as the core of the Four Symbols and Nine Luminaries Sword Formation. Qin Sang uses the Yin-Yang Chess Pieces as treasures to suppress the core of the formation, thus unconsciously applying the principles of Yin and Yang to the sword formation.
The way of the sword and the way of Yin and Yang are two sides of the same coin.
You could say Qin Sang studied too many different things, or you could say Qin Sang has a wide range of knowledge; in any case, the results were quite good.
'call! '
Suddenly, a raging fire broke out in the sea of stars.
A raging inferno instantly ignited the entire starry sky, the flames scorching the stars.
This was Qin Sangyang's divine intervention, manifesting a fire domain. This scene appeared to be a fusion of the star sea and the fire sea, but in reality, there was a clear boundary between the two, and it was not a fusion of legal domains.
Within the Purple Palace, the Yang God transformed into a lotus platform, yet it resembled an eerie, two-colored lotus platform.
The lotus platform is half black and half red. The black part is the Nine Netherworld Demon Fire evolved by Qin Sang, and the red part is the Qilin Fire.
The outer fire domain also changed accordingly, with two different spiritual fires dividing the heavenly domain into two halves. One half resembled a dark and gloomy hell, while the other half was ablaze with dazzling crimson flames.
At this moment, the Sun Star and the Moon Star in the sword formation lit up simultaneously, each sending out a beam of light. The black and white chess pieces broke away from the two stars, and also broke away from the sword domain, flying towards the fire domain.
White pieces fall into the red fire, while black pieces merge into the demonic fire.
As the black and white chess pieces merged, Qin Sang entered a meditative state, attempting to integrate the principles of Yin and Yang into the Fire Domain.
The Nine Netherworld Demon Fire is not purely a cold, yin fire; it possesses unique characteristics, but compared to the extremely yang and hot Qilin Fire, it occupies the 'yin' aspect. As for yang fire, Qin Sang can choose either Qilin Fire or Nanming Li Fire; the difference is not significant.
At this moment, the black and white chess pieces once again demonstrated their powerful inclusiveness. They entered the fire domain without any repulsive force and immediately stirred up the surrounding flames.
Under Qin Sang's urging, the Nine Netherworld Demonic Fire and the Qilin Fire began to revolve around the two chess pieces. As more and more flames were stirred, two visible vortexes soon appeared in the sea of fire.
Like two fiery eyes, they stand high in the sky, overlooking the earth.
Then, the black and white chess pieces began to rotate around each other, and the surrounding spirit fire was dragged by them and started to rotate as well, crashing into another sea of fire.
The anticipated collision did not occur; the two previously distinct seas of fire began to rotate and merge.
After an unknown amount of time, when Qin Sang stopped moving, the sea of fire in the sky had formed a yin-yang diagram!
Yin and Yang flow in a constant cycle, each containing the other, creating an endless cycle of life.
The most important part is what comes next.
Qin Sang focused her mind slightly, and with her thoughts drawing upon the fire domain, the Yin-Yang diagram suddenly cracked open.
The Nine Netherworld Demon Fire and the Qilin Fire were drawn together by the black and white chess pieces, like two fish swimming in the sea of stars, heading towards the Moon Star and the Sun Star respectively.
'boom!'
The black fish flies to the moon, the red fish melts into fire!
In an instant, Qin Sang's mind was shaken, and both his Dharma Body and Yang God were struggling to maintain their composure. His Sword Domain and Fire Domain showed signs of collapse.
Above the heavens, the stars trembled and their light scattered, while a storm of sword intent raged across the sea of stars.
Two fish were clearly visible in the shadows of the sun and moon, yet they seemed veiled by a thin gauze, their forms scattered, as if about to disintegrate.
Seeing that both domains were on the verge of collapse, this step was more difficult than expected. It was not only a collision between domains, but also a clash between the Great Daos. Even with the help of the black and white chess pieces that encompass all things, the force of the collision was far more intense than Qin Sang had anticipated.
In addition, there is another reason: the Nine Netherworld Demon Fire and the Qilin Fire are not entirely equivalent.
Qin Sang's Qilin Fire originates from the Qilin essence of the Heavenly Demon Qilin. The origin of the Nine Nether Demon Fire is unknown, but it should be inferior to that of the Heavenly Demon Qilin. Originally, the presence of black and white chess pieces made little difference, but now this imbalance has been exacerbated.
The sun and moon are nearly shattered, and the stars are teetering on the brink of collapse.
Just then, Qin Sang suddenly summoned another item, and a celestial mountain appeared amidst the boundless sea of stars.
This mountain is majestic, towering into the sky and standing tall!
It is indeed Mount Daiyu, the Immortal Mountain.
Master Ning once said that Mount Daiyu has the ability to stabilize the Dharma domain. Qin Sang couldn't understand it at the time, but when he truly entered the realm of Integration, he realized how powerful and precious Mount Daiyu was.
In short, the Dharma Domain is where a cultivator who has achieved the Integration Realm evolves their own Great Dao, supporting their own world within the universe, and substituting their own heart for the heart of Heaven.
But Tianxin would not sit idly by and wait for death. Integration cultivators need to be constantly vigilant against the erosion of the Great Dao River, and the Dharma Domain also faces the pressure from the outside world.
The earth is receptive and virtuous, and it carries all things with its great virtue.
Mount Daiyu can then be transformed into the land within the Dharma Domain, helping to resist the pressure from the outside world, so that cultivators do not have to divert their power, and the power of the Dharma Domain will naturally become stronger.
What's even more remarkable is that Mount Daiyu can exert its power regardless of the type of law or domain.
This mountain, situated in the Dharma realm, can serve as a pillar of heaven and earth!
In an instant, the scattered starlight reassembled, and the Pisces in the shadows of the sun and moon regained their liveliness; the power of the immortal mountain was immediately apparent!
The good times didn't last long; the stability was only momentary, and then the collapse came, though it was significantly less severe than before.
With Mount Daiyu guarding it, both the Sword Domain and the Fire Domain are more stable than ever before, and this has bought Qin Sang precious time, giving him the opportunity to identify and address any shortcomings and make adjustments in the face of the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
The seemingly precarious Dharma Domain is exceptionally resilient and has never collapsed. Moreover, as Qin Sang's understanding deepens, the situation is gradually improving.
Finally, the chaotic storm of sword intent began to recede, the sword stars stabilized one after another, the starlight re-condensed, and the outlines of the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Mansions became clearly discernible...
Of course, the most crucial stars are the Moon and the Sun.
At some point, the two fish in the shadows of the sun and moon stopped moving, as if they were sealed inside.
The next moment, the fish shadows transformed into two lotus platforms, like lotus flowers growing from the sun and the moon, and thus took their final form!
Qin Sang slowly opened her eyes and saw a red lotus in the sun star, with flames forming a ring around the sun. On the other side, a black lotus was embedded in the moon, with demonic fire floating around the moon's halo, turning it into a dark moon, a demonic moon.
At this moment, in Qin Sang's perception, the Law Domain was still turbulent, with occasional small storms, but without a doubt, he had taken a crucial step, and the dual Law Domains were beginning to take shape!
Of course, there are imperfections and discrepancies between the reality and Qin Sang's expectations. These are temporary compromises he made in the face of the crisis of the collapse of the Law Domain, and they will need to be changed in the future. But that's a story for another time.
Qin Sang never expected to achieve such great success on her first attempt. She had to thank Lady Jade Goddess and Lord Kuang, as well as the Black and White Chess Pieces and Mount Daiyu.
With a slight thought, streams of light rained down, indistinguishable as sword light or fire rain. This was no longer the superficial fusion of before, but a synergistic effect of two domains—a true dual domain.
The power of the dual domains still needs to be explored, but Qin Sang felt that the dual domains were already taking shape and their power was no weaker than that of the dual domains used by Lady Jade God and Lord Kuang, because he had also incorporated two rare treasures into them.
His cultivation level didn't increase at all, but his combat power took a giant leap forward!
Of course, that shouldn't be the full strength of Demon Lord Kuang and Lady Jade Goddess; perhaps they have similar intentions.
Sensing the dual domains with her mind, Qin Sang kept her gaze fixed on the starry sky.
While his progress is certainly cause for celebration, his ambitions extend beyond this. His goal is the Triple Law Domain, which he intends to integrate with the Killing Domain.
The fusion of legal domains is not a simple linear superposition. The more superpositions there are, the greater the difficulty, and of course, the stronger the power!
Currently, Qin Sang hasn't even fully comprehended the dual domains yet, and is still far from the triple domains, but that doesn't stop him from imagining them.
The fundamental supernatural power that the Dharma Body comprehended by merging with the Path of Slaughter was the Human-Slaying Sword. If we exclude the attributes of the Wandering Sword, it can also be regarded as part of the fundamental supernatural power.
Qin Sang already had some ideas. Rahu and Ketu were manifestations of his killing intent, making them the perfect vessels for the Wandering Sword and the Human-Slaying Sword. In Qin Sang's vision, once successful, he might be able to use a sword domain and a fire domain to conceal the origins of the two swords, allowing them to unleash their full power in ordinary battles!
If so, his strength will be immeasurable.
However, this was just a preliminary idea, and there were still many things to sort out. Qin Sang knew that she couldn't rush things. What she needed to do now was to perfectly integrate the Sword Domain and the Fire Domain before considering anything else.
A thought struck him, and the stars suddenly vanished.
A flash of sword light, a mountain shadow, and a black and white swirling aura disappeared in an instant, absorbed into his sleeve.
In the future, these three treasures will be the guarantee of his combat power.
Qin Sang slowly stood up, put away the array outside, and calculated with his fingers. He realized that cultivation knows no day or night, and he had been so engrossed in it that he had already missed the time agreed upon by Demon Lord Luo Luo. He wondered if Luo Luo was still waiting for him.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Sang leaped into the air and flew towards the agreed-upon island.
