Pure Yang Body

"Yi Yun wins this match!"

On the Divine Desolation Stage, the referee loudly announced the results of the match.

People felt as if they were in a dream when they heard this. When Li Hong condensed Heaven-Expanding Mountain, it was so unstoppable and so awe-inspiring that it gave people a feeling of being completely invincible.

But he was still defeated by Yi Yun. His Heaven-Expanding Mountain, along with the long staff in his hand, were all cut down by Yi Yun!

"Li Hong, who was ranked over a thousandth on the Earth Ranking, was killed by Yi Yun! This Yi Yun is defying the heavens!"

In a newcomer ranking competition, he has already climbed to nearly a thousandth place. In previous years, it was already remarkable for someone to reach around a thousandth place by the end of the first year, as they would attract the attention and be courted by the major powers of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

No one doubted that if Yi Yun were given another month or two, he would be firmly in the top 1,000, or even less.

In less than six months, he broke into the top 1,000 of the Earthly Rankings. Is he even human?

"Do you think it's possible... that Yi Yun already has the strength to break into the top 1,000?"

Someone said something that stunned everyone present, "Trying to break into the top 1,000 right now?"

Thinking about it carefully, Yi Yun still has one rookie ranking match left to play!

"This... can't be!"

Some people say that although Yi Yun defeated Li Hong with overwhelming momentum, he also expended a lot of energy, so it is unlikely that he can break into the top 1,000.

After all, the top thousand people are basically all Origin Foundation Realm martial artists. When you fight against the Origin Foundation Realm martial artist, their long-lasting Yuan Qi can wear you down.

Regardless, Yi Yun's achievement in this rookie ranking competition is something that Tai'a Divine City has never seen in nearly a hundred years!

His mastery of the Tai'a Sacred Law in just two months was particularly astonishing.

At this moment, in a corner of the audience, Yang Dingkun's face was ashen.

When Yang Dingkun saw Li Hong being cleaved in two by Yi Yun's blade, his long staff broken in two, he felt as if Yi Yun's blade had struck him directly.

We lost...

He lost 50,000 Dragon Scale Rune, and also the <True Understanding of Laws>!

He wouldn't be too heartbroken to return the 50,000 Dragon Scale Rune to Li Hong, but the <True Understanding of Laws>!

That was the legacy of the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion. Normally, outsiders who wanted to learn the <True Understanding of Laws> would have to join the Prince Chu's Estate, but Yi Yun had already refused the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion's offer.

However, under such circumstances, he lost the <True Understanding of Laws> to Yi Yun. If his Lineage finds out about this, they will definitely punish him!

The thought of confinement, withholding resources, or even more severe family punishments made Yang Dingkun's face twitch.

He clenched his fists tightly, his arms trembling slightly. "How could this be...? That good-for-nothing Li Hong! He actually lost to this little beast!"

Yang Dingkun gritted his teeth, plotting how to avoid giving the <True Understanding of Laws> to Yi Yun. However, the gambling rules of Tai'a Divine City were protected by the enforcement team. Those Enforcement Envoy were all cold and ruthless, strictly adhering to the rules. He could never get the <True Understanding of Laws> back from Enforcement Envoy!

Just then, a burst of light suddenly lit up the arena. It exploded out of thin air!

Um?

On the stands, the Enforcement Envoy was taken aback.

"Elder, please send a telepathic message!"

Several Enforcement Envoy stood up, and the information contained within the firelight immediately reached their ears.

"Yi Yun! Elders Jian Ge and Cang Yan request your presence!"

The referee said to Yi Yun, "This referee is, in himself, an Enforcement Envoy."

The other trial participants were speechless.

The elders have summoned me again!

Yi Yun has only been in Tai'a Divine City for three months, and he's already been summoned by the elders several times.

They've been in Tai'a Divine City for several years, and let alone being summoned by the elders, even the brief meeting they had with one yesterday was thanks to Yi Yun.

If it weren't for Yi Yun, how could the elders of the Divine City have come to the arena to watch the newcomers' matches?

"I'll go right away."

Yi Yun clasped his hands in a fist salute to the referee and was about to leave when the referee asked, "Yi Yun, you still have one match to play today. Do you want to continue challenging?"

Yi Yun's current ranking is 1028. If he challenges again, he will really be aiming for the top 1000.

Yi Yun hesitated for a moment.

To break into the top 1,000 and challenge Origin Foundation Realm martial artists?

He felt that, given his current state, it would be very difficult for him to fight Origin Foundation Realm martial artist who was at a higher level.

After unleashing the Radiant Sun True Qi, Yi Yun used it to activate the Thirty-two Sword Dao Characters. He could use "King's Reign Over the World" or "Slaughter as the Heart" three to four times at most.

He only needs to make four strikes; if his opponent blocks them, he loses.

In particular, Yi Yun's weakness was exposed in the battle with Li Hong: his cultivation level was too low and his vital energy was insufficient.

If the opponent understands this and adopts a defensive and attrition-based tactic, then Yi Yun's chances of winning are very slim.

Yi Yun shook his head. "Not for now."

He will certainly return to the arena, but not now. Today, Yi Yun has too many insights to digest, and Yi Yun also hopes to comprehend the True Meaning of Laws as soon as possible.

With the assistance of the power of laws, one's efficiency in utilizing vital energy will be greatly improved.

In this way, it also makes up for the weakness of insufficient vitality.

"Alright." The referee nodded. At this moment, an Enforcement Envoy walked up to Yi Yun and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to the Central Divine Tower!"

A quarter of an hour later, in a hall of the Central Divine Tower, Yi Yun met Elders Jian Ge and Cang Yan.

Upon entering, Cang Yan stared at Yi Yun as if he were a monster, while Jian Ge also scrutinized Yi Yun from head to toe, inside and out.

"Boy, you actually mastered the <Tai'a Sacred Law> in just two months?"

Even now, Cang Yan still seems to find this unbelievable.

"Uh..." Yi Yun didn't know how to answer for a moment. Should he tell Cang Yan that he actually only took twelve or thirteen days to learn it?

Yi Yun's noncommittal attitude was taken by Cang Yan as tacit agreement.

"That's incredible! Back then, it took Old Man Jian four months to master the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, and you only took half that time."

When Cang Yan praised Yi Yun, he also inadvertently revealed Jian Ge's shortcomings.

Jian Ge was about to say something, but upon hearing Cang Yan's words, he felt a little embarrassed. He coughed and slowly said, "Old man Cang, I remember it took you five months to learn the <Tai'a Sacred Law>, right? A month longer than me."

Upon hearing Jian Ge's words, Cang Yan blushed and chuckled, "Learning the <Tai'a Sacred Law> quickly doesn't necessarily mean anything. Although I learned it a little slower, I still became a sage more than four hundred years earlier than you."

Cang Yan said with a hint of arrogance.

Jian Ge was speechless; this old man had a thick skin.

"Old man, don't you know that you're over eight hundred years older than me?!"

Jian Ge and Cang Yan became sages one after the other, and their relationship was one of close friendship. It was normal for them to occasionally bicker.

However... in front of younger generations, they would maintain their authority and wouldn't argue like that.

Their current behavior in front of Yi Yun made him feel somewhat flattered.

He understood that Cang Yan and Jian Ge treated him like a junior disciple, which was why they spoke so freely and without restraint in front of him.

This also shows how much the two elders valued them!

"Haha! Earlier than you is still earlier than you! Speaking of which... kid!" Cang Yan turned to Yi Yun, "What I said earlier, that those who learn the <Tai'a Sacred Law> quickly may not necessarily become sages, is indeed true. In the last five thousand years, there have been quite a few juniors who learned the <Tai'a Sacred Law> faster than me, but among them, only a handful have become sages! Although you have mastered the <Tai'a Sacred Law> in two months, do not be arrogant or complacent. You are still far from becoming a sage."

Cang Yan feared that Yi Yun, having achieved success at a young age, was too arrogant and gave him some advice.

Having lived two lives, Yi Yun naturally understood this principle, and he respectfully replied, "This junior understands."

"Hmm." Cang Yan nodded. "Speaking of which, tens of thousands of years ago, there was a record of someone who mastered the <Tai'a Sacred Law> the fastest. That person became a sage, and one of the best among them."

"Hmm? A record of mastering the <Tai'a Sacred Law>?"

Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. The speed at which he learned the <Tai'a Sacred Law> could even set a record?

I should have applied for it as soon as I knew he had finished his studies.

Yi Yun felt it was a pity; such a record would surely have earned a generous reward!

It seems I need to find out what records I can break and quickly accumulate Glory Points.

"Senior, how long did it take you to master the <Tai'a Sacred Law>?" Yi Yun asked.

Cang Yan held up two fingers, "Twenty days!"

Twenty days!?

Yi Yun was shocked. "So fast!?"

He knew that he was able to master the <Tai'a Sacred Law> in just over ten days thanks entirely to the Purple Crystal's help. But in the history of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, had anyone actually mastered the <Tai'a Sacred Law> in a mere twenty days on their own?

What kind of talent is this!

Perhaps that person also had a miraculous encounter, but Yi Yun believed that no matter what kind of miraculous encounter it was, it would not be as heaven-defying as the Purple Crystal.

"Surprised? I was surprised too. Actually... that person had Pure Yang Body, making his cultivation of the <Tai'a Sacred Law> twice as effective. In the end, he was given the title of Pure Yang True Person and founded the Pure Yang Palace... Unfortunately, the Pure Yang Palace was later destroyed. Truly, the world is unpredictable..."

Cang Yan slowly recounted the story, Yi Yun was slightly taken aback upon hearing it. Pure Yang Body?

The Tai'a Sacred Law is of pure Yang nature, so it's only natural that people with Pure Yang Body can learn it quickly.

Thinking about it this way, it's not a pity that he didn't report the record for the fastest mastery of the <Tai'a Sacred Law>. He's not a Pure Yang Body, so it's impossible to explain why people would know that he mastered the <Tai'a Sacred Law> in just over ten days.

However... the name "Pure Yang Body" sounds somewhat familiar, it seems...

Yi Yun's heart stirred.

Lin Xin Tong!

Isn't Lin Xin Tong Innate Yin Meridian?

Because of her Innate Yin Meridian, Lin Xin Tong traveled all over the country in search of a way to restore Fatal Meridian.

Yi Yun was indebted to Lin Xin Tong, and he had promised to find a way to help Lin Xin Tong restore her Fatal Meridian.

Now that it concerns Lin Xin Tong's health, Yi Yun couldn't help but ask, "Senior, I've heard of a constitution called the Innate Yin Meridian. People with this constitution don't live more than four hundred years, and their cultivation progress is hindered when they reach a high level... But just now I heard you say that the senior with the Innate Pure Yang Body cultivated into a sage."

"I wonder if this Pure Yang Body corresponds to Innate Yin Meridian? What is the relationship between the two?"
