After thoroughly refining and absorbing the Essence of Shaoyang, transforming it into a cornerstone of his own Yin-Yang Great Dao, Qing Huan then retrieved the "Essence of Shaoyin" obtained from the Northern Arctic Profound Cold Eye.
It is a wisp of condensed, moon-white cold current that does not dissipate. Touching it is not a bone-chilling cold, but a profound chill that can calm the soul and bring all things Return to the Hidden.
It is also introduced into the body.
In an instant, an extremely cold current met the lingering warmth from before.
The interplay of ice and fire should have resulted in conflict, but under Qing Huan's powerful control of his primordial spirit and comprehension of the Great Dao, these two forces did not annihilate each other. Instead, they began to rotate and merge in a mysterious trajectory.
The Yin power brought by the Essence of Shaoyin contains the true meaning of the principles of "concealment" and "stillness." It neutralizes the restlessness of Lesser Yang, making the vigorous vitality more restrained and lasting.
Qing Huan's body was half shimmering with a faint golden light and half enveloped in the bright moonlight, as if the sun and moon were one, making his aura even more profound and unfathomable.
Having initially harmonized Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin, laying a deeper foundation for Yin and Yang, Qing Huan knew that the most crucial moment had arrived.
He took out the chaotic-colored Jade Bottle, opened it, and three drops of essence blood containing the primordial power of ultimate yang and ultimate yin floated out.
Di Jun's Sun Essence Blood is as blazing as the core of the great sun, while Xi He and Chang Xi's Taiyin Essence Blood is as cool and clear as the origin of the moon and stars.
The moment these three drops of essence blood appeared, the space within the entire Cave Mansion distorted violently. If it weren't for the barrier, it would have likely triggered extraordinary phenomena across tens of thousands of miles.
Qing Huan's expression was solemn. He formed a hand seal, drawing upon his own primordial power to create a chaotic vortex that slowly enveloped and pulled the three drops of essence blood closer together.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar, as if the Heaven-Opening, exploded in Qing Huan's sea of consciousness!
The primordial power of ultimate yang and ultimate yin is countless times purer and more domineering than that of Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin. At this moment, it surges into his meridians and soul at the same time, like two out-of-control ancient dragons, colliding and tearing wildly!
Extreme heat and extreme cold alternated, with a scorching pain that seemed to burn the soul to nothingness on one side and a bitter cold that almost froze thought and annihilated everything on the other.
Cracks appeared on Qing Huan's immortal body, sometimes bursting with golden light, sometimes covered in frost, and his expression changed rapidly as he endured unimaginable pain.
This is a fundamental impact and fusion, extremely dangerous.
If he hadn't already collected and initially refined the power of Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin, laying a solid foundation...
Its own roots are those of the Innate Yin-Yang Banana Tree, naturally close to the Yin-Yang Great Dao.
His primordial spirit is far more resilient than that of an ordinary Quasi-Sage. It is feared that under this first wave of impact, his very essence will be damaged, and he may even perish and his Dao will dissipate.
"Yin-Yang Rotation, mutually generating and restraining each other! Suppress!"
Qing Huan held fast to the single point of clarity in his spiritual platform, using his supreme will to drive his complete understanding of the Yin-Yang Great Dao, forcefully guiding these two violent forces.
The primordial spirit seemed to transform into a giant Taiji Diagram, with the Yin and Yang fish spinning wildly, constantly decomposing, absorbing, and transforming the surging power of the Greater Yang and the Taiyin Origin.

This was an extremely slow and painful process. Inside the Cave Mansion, time seemed to lose its meaning. Qing Huan's body sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted, and the cracks on its surface cycled between destruction and repair.
Amidst the violent fluctuations, the overall trend was one of continuous upward ascent, becoming more ancient, vast, and primordial.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent impact finally began to weaken. The primal forces of the Greater Yang and the Greater Yin no longer repelled each other, but gradually merged into Qing Huan's own Yin-Yang Great Dao foundation, becoming a part of his power.
At the very moment the two completely merged, Qing Huan had a sudden inspiration and took out the last treasure—the wisp of primordial Yin-Yang Qi obtained from the very beginning of the world.
This wisp of Yin-Yang Qi is one of the most fundamental manifestations of the Yin-Yang Great Dao, and it is incomparably pure.
Its appearance acted as the best harmonizer, injecting into Qing Huan's body where the Yin-Yang Origin had just achieved a delicate balance.
"Buzz--"
A Great Dao sound resonated from within Qing Huan's body. His entire body erupted with incomparably brilliant light, his left half radiating boundless golden light, while his right half flowed with pure silver radiance. At the boundary between the golden and silver light, Chaos Qi permeated, manifesting the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind.
A crystal-clear Tai Chi diagram, seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the Primordial Wilderness, slowly rotated behind him, expanding continuously until it encompassed the entire Cave Mansion and even the entire mountain peak shrouded in restrictions.
At this moment, Qing Huan felt a miraculous transformation in his origins. He was Innate Yin-Yang Banana Tree, an Innate Deities origin, already extremely high.
But at this moment, after merging the origins of Lesser Yang, Lesser Yin Greater Yang, Taiyin Origin, and Greater Yin-Yang Qi, the origin has been greatly replenished and enhanced, becoming even closer to the source of the Yin-Yang Great Dao.
Although there is still an insurmountable gap between him and the legendary Chaos Demon God, within the realm of Innate Deities, he is already considered top-tier, almost touching the limit of Innate Deities, and can be called the "Innate Yin-Yang Dao Body," with his affinity with the Yin-Yang Great Dao reaching an unprecedented level.
His understanding of the Yin-Yang principle grew at an unprecedented rate.
Countless profound mysteries about the generation and restraint of Yin and Yang, the transformation of Yin and Yang, the balance of Yin and Yang, and the mutual dependence of Yin and Yang flooded into his primordial spirit like a tide, and many things that were previously obscure and difficult to understand suddenly became clear.
It was as if I saw the beginning of time, when the pure and the impure separated, and yin and yang were established; I saw the laws governing the Moon Wheel, and the alternation of day and night; I saw all things carrying yin and embracing yang, creating harmony through the interaction of these energies, and thus, life continued endlessly...
After his cultivation level naturally broke through a certain barrier, it climbed all the way to the critical point of the Quasi-Sage peak!
Just one step away from entering a completely new and extraordinary realm.
However, just as his momentum reached its peak and he attempted to break through to that supreme realm in one fell swoop, he sensed an invisible yet real and solid barrier.
That barrier cannot be broken through simply by accumulating Magic Power or comprehending the laws; it concerns Karma, destiny, and even more so, that mysterious and profound— Luck!
Qing Huan understood that in order to achieve the Hunyuan Saint Dao and attain the indestructible status, in addition to reaching the pinnacle of one's own cultivation level, severing the three corpses, or proving the Prove Dao by Force or Merit, the support of a massive amount of heaven and earth's Luck was also an indispensable key element.
Now that his foundation has been improved, his Yin-Yang Great Dao is nearly perfected, and his Magic Power has been accumulated to a sufficient depth, what he lacks is the vast Primordial Wilderness Luck that is enough to support him in taking the final step!
The momentum of the impact gradually subsided, and the vast and boundless strange phenomenon gradually receded into the body.
Qing Huan opened his eyes, which were no longer simply clear or deep, but seemed to contain countless worlds that were born and died, Yin-Yang Rotation, and evolving endlessly.
He exhaled gently, and as the breath left his body, it spontaneously split into two streams, one clear and one turbid, which swirled for a moment before dissipating.
