Time flies, and days pass by one by one.
Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged. He had completely comprehended the "Elementary Explanation of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang," and with the assistance of the Yin-Yang Treasure Jade, his understanding of the Yin-Yang Daoist Law was progressing rapidly.
After all, he had already fully comprehended the Great Dao of Yin and Yang while in Chaos. Coming to the Eternal Continent and facing the more primordial Great Dao of Yin and Yang, he already had a Foundation.
This was also why the powerhouses of the Eternal Continent chose to send their descendants into Primordial Chaos to comprehend the Way of Laws.
Asking someone who has never been to school to face advanced knowledge like high school mathematics would leave them completely unable to understand or make sense of it.
The best method should be to learn step by step, from simple to easy, and from Foundation to advanced. Every step of the Foundation must be solid for it to be possible to reach the end.
Han Xuanji's current situation was like not having attended high school but at least having elementary school knowledge as a base.
Although it was still difficult, he at least had a certain Foundation.
"First, organize the information and slowly integrate it into myself."
Han Xuanji calmed his mind to cultivate, not intending to immediately begin condensing the Eternal Dao Principle.
Cultivation at the Eternal Dao Lord stage was not that simple. To step into the seventh layer of the Eternal Dao Lord Realm, he needed to reorganize all his previous Dao Laws before he could condense the next one.
The cultivation of the Way of Laws is like moving forward in a fog, filled with infinite possibilities. Some people might solve problems that have troubled others for billions of years with a single Epiphany, while others might stray off course due to a slight deviation and be trapped at a Bottleneck for their entire lives, unable to progress for endless ages.
This was also why very few people in the Eternal Continent cultivated the Way of Laws. In the Great Sheng Holy Dynasty, for instance, almost all members of the imperial Family followed the Way of Bloodline, and Saint-level powerhouses emerged one after another. This path was destined to be very difficult. Especially since it involved fusing ten top-tier Great Daos; one could imagine how difficult it would be.
...
Time passed.
Qianhun City was as prosperous as ever. As a large-scale city, all the residents within were Cultivators, and their lifespans were incredibly long.
One actor leaves the stage, another enters.
Nowadays, the topic of Han Xuanji was basically no longer mentioned. After all, Prodigies of this level had appeared throughout the long ages, and many people had grown accustomed to it.
During these days, Han Xuanji temporarily stopped practicing secret techniques and focused entirely on comprehending the Yin-Yang Daoist Law.
The feeling of slowly improving every moment truly made him intoxicated.
One day.
A spark of inspiration occasionally flashed through Han Xuanji's mind.
"Yin-Yang Daoist Law... the Origin of life, the Origin of all things."
Insights continued to merge, and the spark of inspiration in Han Xuanji's mind became increasingly clear.
"I understand."
Han Xuanji vaguely saw a path ahead, as Yin and Yang Qi coiled and spiraled around him like two swimming dragons. The spark of inspiration that had flashed by just now had now turned into a blazing torch, illuminating the path ahead. The scattered fragments of insight in his mind seemed to be connected by an invisible thread, forming a complete picture.
Yin and Yang are the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
They are not only the Origin of the Five Elements and the Stars but also the fundamental Law of the birth and death of all things. Solitary Yin does not give birth, and solitary Yang does not grow; the transformation of Yin and Yang...
He was already intimately familiar with these insights in Primordial Chaos, but now, when these insights were cross-referenced with the primordial Laws of the Eternal Continent, he felt an unprecedented clarity.
It was as if the veil in front of his eyes had been lifted, and the world presented another face.
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and black and white light alternated in his pupils—one Yin and one Yang, one light and one dark—like two miniature taiji diagrams slowly rotating.
He did not rush into action but closed his eyes to let all these insights settle once more.
The Yin-Yang Treasure Jade floated in front of him, emitting a warm glow that brightened and dimmed in sync with his breathing.
"The time has come."
Han Xuanji took a deep breath and sank his mind into his Sea of Consciousness.
In his Dao Fruit, the Stellar Dao Law was vast and boundless, like a miniature galaxy; the Five Elements Dao Laws flowed with five colors, mutually generating and supporting each other, emitting vibrant vitality...
And between them, a blank area was waiting for the birth of a new Dao Law.
Han Xuanji channeled the accumulated Yin and Yang Qi within his body and slowly injected it into that blank space.
At first, the Yin and Yang Qi acted independently, black and white clearly distinguished and incompatible with each other. Yin Qi sank while Yang Qi rose, as if they were naturally destined to go their separate ways.
Han Xuanji was neither hurried nor impatient. Using his mind as a guide and the techniques he had comprehended from the "Elementary Explanation of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang" as a framework, he guided the two to approach each other bit by bit.
There is Yang within Yin, and Yin within Yang.
Yin and Yang are not opposites but complementary.
This principle sounds simple, but to actually realize it at the level of Dao Laws requires extremely subtle control.
A bit more and Yang would flourish while Yin declined; a bit less and Yin would flourish while Yang declined. Only with the perfect balance could there be harmony between Yin and Yang.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Han Xuanji's forehead. This was not a consumption of physical strength but a consumption of mental energy.
With every breath, he was performing billions of fine adjustments, kneading, crushing, and reorganizing the Yin and Yang Qi bit by bit.
Time passed unknowingly.
After an unknown amount of time, black and white light bloomed simultaneously in the Quiet Room, intertwining and merging with each other. That Law was black and white throughout, with Yin and Yang Qi slowly flowing within it like two fish joined head to tail, one within the other, and the other within the first, endlessly circulating.
The Yin-Yang Daoist Law was formed!
At the same time, Han Xuanji's body suddenly jolted.
The seven Dao Laws, including Stellar, Five Elements, and Yin and Yang, resonated simultaneously, echoing each other and forming a wonderful resonance.
The high-grade eternal crystals around Han Xuanji shattered, and countless amounts of eternal Spiritual Qi were frantically absorbed by him, his cultivation rising rapidly.
"Eternal Dao Master Seventh Layer!"
Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and black and white light flashed and vanished in his eyes, quickly returning to normal.
He raised his right hand, and a ball of intertwined black and white light appeared in his palm. Yin and Yang Qi flowed within it, sometimes repelling and sometimes attracting each other, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
"Thirty years have passed without me realizing it, but the Yin-Yang Daoist Law... is finally complete."
Han Xuanji spoke softly to himself, his tone devoid of wild joy, only a sense of calm that comes when things fall naturally into place.
He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt the surging power within his body.
The seventh layer of the Eternal Dao Lord Realm was no longer considered weak in Qianhun City. Most of the Cultivators who ran shops or served as guards in the city were at this level. Furthermore, an Eternal Dao Lord who cultivated the Way of Laws was an absolute powerhouse within the same Realm. But he knew that this was far from enough. Above the seventh layer were the eighth, ninth, and tenth layers.
And above the Dao Master were the True Master, True God, Saint, Saint Master, Saint King...
The road was still very long.
Han Xuanji walked to the window and looked at the scenery of the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven outside, his heart clear and bright.
Cultivation is also the cultivation of the heart.
If one becomes complacent and arrogant because of a little progress, then death is not far away.
In terms of Realm alone, he had only just begun.
In the Eternal Continent, if one does not become a Saint, one is ultimately an ant.
Don't be fooled by how strong the Hun Family seems now; if a Saint-level powerhouse were born in another Family in the city, the position of City Lord might change hands, and the Hun Family's resource acquisition would drop significantly.
