The Solitary Yin Cannot Give Birth, and the Lone Yang Cannot Grow-Discussing the Dao with the Taiyin Goddess

Su Ming put away the Moon Laurel Branch and nodded in satisfaction.

The Taiyin Origin contained within this section of branch was enough for him to cultivate that secret technique.

He flicked a finger, and the piece of Innate Enlightenment Tea in his palm transformed into a streak of light, floating gently to Xi He's front.

"My purpose here has been fulfilled. Thank you, Fairies, for helping me." Su Ming cupped his hands toward the two women, then turned to leave.

"Great Venerable, please wait!"

Seeing this, Xi He hurriedly called out to stop him.

You must be kidding!

A mighty expert with such terrifying strength and such astonishing generosity had come to visit, and they were just going to let him leave? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

That precise cut alone had contained the Supreme Dao. If they could ask him about it, they would absolutely benefit immensely!

Chang Xi also came to her senses. She hurried over to Su Ming, blinked her lively eyes, and said in a slightly pleading tone, "Great Venerable, you have come from so far away. Why not rest at my Guanghan Palace for a while and let my sister and me show you some hospitality?"

Seeing the sincerity on the two women's faces, Su Ming thought for a moment before stopping.

Aside from retrieving the Moon Laurel Branch, he had no other urgent business on the Moon Star.

Besides, he was indeed somewhat curious about these two goddesses who controlled the Taiyin Dao.

In the future, during the Witch-Demon Calamity, these two would become the wives of Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan. If he could establish a favorable relationship with them in advance, perhaps it might prove useful in unexpected ways someday.

With that thought, Su Ming nodded. "Since you two Fairies have kindly invited me, then I shall trouble you."

Seeing that Su Ming had agreed, delight immediately bloomed between Xi He and Chang Xi's brows.

"Great Venerable, this way!"

Xi He hurriedly led Su Ming into the palace, to a jade platform. Chang Xi swiftly brought over two meditation cushions made from Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade and served them spirit tea brewed with True Taiyin Water.

The three of them took their seats as host and guests.

Su Ming looked at the jade table before him. With a thought, he flipped his palm again.

This time, what appeared were not tea leaves, but three fruits that shone with brilliant radiance and possessed Innate Dao Rhythm.

One was entirely crimson-gold, like a miniature sun, radiating scorching Pure Yang Qi.

Another was as deep blue as the sea, with waves of water flowing across its surface and pure Kui Water Essence contained within.

The last was shrouded in hazy yellow light. It was immensely heavy and radiated rich Wu Earth Origin.

The moment these three fruits appeared, three completely different yet perfectly harmonious Innate Dao Rhythms instantly filled the entire side hall. They resonated with the surrounding Taiyin Qi, faintly forming a wondrous vision of water and fire complementing each other and giving birth to all things.

"This... This is..."

Xi He and Chang Xi's eyes went wide.

Their breathing once again grew hurried.

If the Innate Enlightenment Tea just now had shaken their minds, then these three fruits before them had made even their Dao Hearts begin to waver!

These three fruits were clearly Dao fruits borne by top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots!

Moreover, they belonged to three different attributes: the sun, Great Water, and Wu Earth!

Any one of them would be enough to make Grand Unity Golden Immortals fight until their heads bled!

Yet now, Su Ming had casually produced three!

"It is my first time visiting, and I did not prepare any substantial gifts. These three spirit fruits are gifts for you two Fairies, to express my feelings." Su Ming's tone remained calm, as though he had merely given them a few ordinary wild fruits.

Gulp.

Chang Xi could not help swallowing. She felt that her brain was no longer enough to process everything.

What exactly is this Great Venerable's background...?

When did such an outrageously extravagant powerhouse appear in the Primordial World Great Earth?

Xi He's mental cultivation was deeper, but even she could not remain calm at this moment. She looked at Su Ming and said solemnly, "Great Venerable, this gift is far too valuable. We..."

"Take them." Su Ming waved his hand, interrupting her. "To me, they are merely ordinary things. If you two Fairies refuse them, it would mean you look down on me."

With him putting it that way, how could Xi He still refuse?

She exchanged a glance with Chang Xi. With an unreal, dreamlike feeling, they accepted the three spirit fruits.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Great Venerable!"

After this exchange, the atmosphere in the hall immediately grew much livelier.

Chang Xi was lively by nature, and after receiving such precious gifts, she opened up completely. She chattered away, asking about Su Ming's background and interesting stories from the Primordial World Great Earth.

Su Ming was happy to chat with them as well. During their conversation, he casually revealed some information about the Wu Clan and Buzhou Mountain, leaving the two women sometimes exclaiming in surprise and sometimes yearning with fascination.

They conversed happily, and the topic naturally turned to cultivation.

"My younger sister and I cultivate the Taiyin Dao. We have now reached the perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, yet we always feel that an invisible barrier lies ahead, making it difficult to advance even an inch. I wonder if Great Venerable has any advice?" Xi He seized the opportunity to ask humbly.

This was the true reason she had kept Su Ming there.

Hearing this, Su Ming's gaze swept over the two women. Taiyin power circulated around their bodies, incomparably pure. Clearly, their foundations were solid.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Taiyin is not merely pure yin and cold desolation."

Just this single sentence caused Xi He and Chang Xi's spirits to rise, as though they had seized upon something crucial.

Su Ming continued, "The solitary yin cannot give birth, and the lone yang cannot grow. Taiyin and the sun were formed from Great God Pangu's two eyes; they were originally two sides of one body. The end of Taiyin is not deeper darkness, but the gestation of that wisp of 'True Yang' within extreme yin. Yin Yang Harmony is what brings perfection."

Boom!

Su Ming's words were like a thunderclap exploding within Xi He and Chang Xi's primordial spirits!

Yang emerging from yin!

This concept completely overturned everything they had believed until now!

They had controlled the Taiyin Dao for countless years, always thinking about how to take the Dao of yin to its extreme. Never had they considered seeking a breakthrough within yang as well!

For a time, both women sank into deep thought. Their eyes closed tightly, and Dao Rhythm surged wildly around them. Clearly, they had entered a profound state of enlightenment.

Seeing this, Su Ming did not disturb them. He merely lifted his teacup and continued savoring the tea on his own.

No one knew how much time passed. Perhaps an instant, or perhaps a hundred years.

Xi He opened her eyes first. Within them seemed to be countless stars being born and extinguished. The aura around her was deeper and more harmonious than before.

She gave Su Ming an incomparably solemn bow.

"One conversation with you is worth ten thousand years of cultivation! Great Venerable, I will never forget the guidance you gave me today!"

This bow came from the depths of her heart, filled with gratitude and respect.

Su Ming's words had pushed open the door to an entirely new world for her!

Next, Chang Xi also slowly awakened. Although the change in her aura was not as great as her sister's, it had gained a trace of liveliness and harmony. Clearly, she had also gained tremendously.

"Thank you for your guidance, Great Venerable!" Chang Xi also looked at Su Ming with admiration.

From her initial wariness to her current complete reverence, less than half a day had passed.

"There is no need for such courtesy. They were merely some shallow observations." Su Ming smiled calmly.

"If those were shallow observations, then what my sister and I have been cultivating must be some unorthodox path." Chang Xi could not help sticking out her tongue, her voice filled with admiration.

With this beginning, the atmosphere that followed completely transformed into a discussion of the Dao.

What had begun as casual conversation evolved into a formal discussion of the Dao.

Xi He and Chang Xi asked Su Ming about all kinds of perplexities they had encountered in their cultivation, one by one.

Su Ming possessed Pangu's Legacy and controlled the Law of Strength. The height of his vision and breadth of his knowledge had long surpassed those of the vast majority of living beings in the Primordial Wilderness.

From a lofty vantage point, he often needed only a sentence or two to point directly to the core, helping the two women suddenly see the light, as though they had drunk fine wine.

Time lost its meaning during their discussion of the Dao.

Within Guanghan Palace, Dao Sound rang out in waves. At times, Taiyin moonlight condensed into lotuses; at others, Dao Runes manifested from thin air.

When Su Ming became engrossed in his explanations, he would even manifest his own Dao. The moment that hazy Law of Strength emerged, the entire Moon Star trembled, as though it might collapse at any moment beneath the pressure of that supreme power.

Xi He and Chang Xi watched with their hearts pounding, yet they were also intoxicated by it and unable to tear themselves away.

Unbeknownst to them, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

When the final strand of Dao Sound faded, the three of them finally emerged from that profound and mysterious state.

Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged a glance, and both saw a reborn radiance in the other's eyes.

After a thousand years of discussing the Dao, their cultivation had not broken through directly, but their comprehension of the Dao had risen by more than one level!

As for Su Ming, by discussing the Taiyin Dao with them, his own understanding of the Dao of yin and yang had also improved. It counted as a modest gain.
