Extreme Yin Transforms to Extreme Yang
"Human Emperor, the Sect Leaders of the Yin God Sect and Yang God Sect request an audience." Recalling what had happened some time ago, Li Jing immediately reported it.
"The Sect Leaders of the two great sects have not yet left and are still waiting outside."
In other words, the Sect Leaders of the two great sects were requesting an audience with the Human Emperor.
Such a matter as meeting the Human Emperor was too important. Even as the Sect Leader of the Intercepting Heaven Dao, Li Jing did not dare make a decision on the Human Emperor's behalf without permission.
Thus, upon seeing the Human Emperor, he immediately reported the matter.
Hearing this, Chen Zhao's eyes filled with confusion, and countless speculations arose in his heart. In the end, he said, "Granted."
Though he did not know why the Sect Leaders of these two great sects wished to see him,
for the sake of the Two Human Emperors, Chen Zhao still agreed.
After Li Jing withdrew, Chen Zhao sensed two people arriving outside before long.
"Come in, both of you."
As soon as the words fell, the doors of the great hall were pushed open. Two middle-aged men in magnificent robes, exuding imposing auras, walked inside.
As Sect Leaders of lineages passed down by the Human Emperors, both radiated the aura of Saints.
Yet after entering the great hall, they restrained their auras to the utmost.
"Greetings, Human Emperor." The two men bowed respectfully toward Chen Zhao, who sat cross-legged upon a prayer mat.
"Rise."
The instant they raised their heads after getting up, they discovered that they could not see the Human Emperor's true face at all. Everything was Chaos.
Even if they happened to glimpse him, they would swiftly forget the Human Emperor's true appearance.
Only then did they recall the rumor that the Human Emperor had attained the Dao as a Chaos Body, and they immediately withdrew their gazes.
"We have come to pay our respects because our ancestors once left behind relics, hoping they could be handed over to the Human Race Emperor of Later Generations," the two Sect Leaders said.
They had originally believed that the relics in their possession would be passed down for a long time. They had never expected that after the Sun Saint Emperor passed away, another Human Race Emperor would emerge.
Back then, the Yin Human Emperor had inexplicably passed away, leaving behind only the Emperor Artifact, the Human Emperor Seal, and a relic, saying that it was to be entrusted to a future emperor.
Later, the Yin Human Emperor's relic had also been given to the Sun Saint Emperor.
Before passing away, the Sun Saint Emperor had likewise left behind a relic, intending to give it to a future Human Race Emperor.
Now, the two had come to see the Human Emperor in order to fulfill their ancestors' instructions.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao grew somewhat curious.
First, the Yin Human Emperor had left behind a relic for an emperor of Later Generations, which was then passed to the Sun Saint Emperor.
After obtaining the Yin relic, the Sun Saint Emperor had in turn left behind a Yang relic before passing away.
What meaning was there behind the relics left one after another by the two Human Race Emperors?
After becoming an emperor, aside from becoming immortal, only matters concerning experts of the same level could arouse Chen Zhao's curiosity.
The two Sect Leaders each produced a palm-sized token.
The sight of those palm-sized tokens made Chen Zhao's gaze sharpen slightly.
The two tokens were only palm-sized, crystal-clear and purple, radiating a dense Dao charm.
"Divine Mark Purple Gold."
Chen Zhao had not expected the relics to be forged from Divine Mark Purple Gold.
It was a type of Immortal Gold capable of imprinting the Great Dao of heaven and earth and bearing the profundities of the Dao.
"Our ancestors placed Forbidden Formations upon them. Even we are unable to open them," the Sect Leaders of the two divine sects said in unison, as though of one mind.
"We will no longer disturb the Human Emperor."
After delivering the Human Emperor's relics, the two Sect Leaders did not linger and chose to depart.
The Human Emperor clearly intended to investigate the secrets on the relics. It would have been inappropriate for them to remain here.
After the two left, Chen Zhao held the two Immortal Metal Plates forged from Immortal Gold in his palm.
The Immortal Metal Plate left behind by the Yin Human Emperor felt scorching hot in his hand, emanating an intense extreme yang aura.
In contrast, the Immortal Metal Plate left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor was ice-cold throughout, with a layer of frost condensed across its surface. A dense extreme yin force rushed toward him.
"This..."
Chen Zhao was somewhat stunned and fell into confusion.
The Immortal Metal Plate left by the Yin Human Emperor emanated an extreme yang aura.
One had to know that the Yin Human Emperor cultivated the Yin Way! Yet the Immortal Metal Plate left by the Sun Saint Emperor, who cultivated the Yang Way, emitted an extreme yin aura.
The two Immortal Metal Plates were precisely opposite to the Dao cultivated by the two Human Emperors. While this baffled Chen Zhao, it also stirred his curiosity, and a vague conjecture surfaced in his heart.
Although the two Immortal Metal Plates bore Forbidden Formations left by the Human Emperors, they could not stop Chen Zhao. He directly refined the formations upon them.
After refining the Immortal Metal Plates, Chen Zhao immediately became engrossed in their contents.
"A lone yin cannot grow; a solitary yang cannot give birth."
"Extreme yin transforms into extreme yang, yin and yang revolving in turn. Worthy indeed of the Yin Human Emperor!"
Recorded within the Immortal Metal Plate was an Ancient Emperor Scripture, one left behind by the Yin Human Emperor.
This scripture contained a passage concerning the Yang Way.
The Yin Human Emperor had attained emperorship through the Yin Way, yet he had actually created an Emperor Scripture of the Yang Way.
If this spread, it would likely leave people utterly incredulous.
"The Yin Human Emperor lived at least a Third Life!"
From the Yang Scripture created by the Yin Human Emperor, Chen Zhao reached a conclusion.
During the Yin Human Emperor's late years of his Second Life, he had transformed his constitution from a Yin Body into a Yang Body.
He achieved the transformation of yin and yang revolving in turn, thereby living a Third Life anew.
"Yin and yang revolving in turn—worthy indeed of the first emperor of the Human Race in the Ancient Era!" Chen Zhao could not help but sigh.
Relying on his own power, the Yin Human Emperor achieved a transformation of constitution, turning from yin to yang and living a Third Life.
For an Ancient Emperor Great Emperor to live a Third Life was unlike the opportunistic method of relying on Undying Medicine. Upon reaching this point, one had already undergone a qualitative transformation.
This could also be called the beginning of the Red Dust Immortal Path! Only by living a Third Life through one's own power could one be considered to have opened the Red Dust Immortal Path.
Upon reaching the Third Life, one's combat power would also undergo a qualitative transformation, granting strength at the level of a Heavenly Emperor.
In an era when the Great Universe could not produce immortals, the Red Dust Immortal Path was one of only two methods of becoming immortal.
As for the second path, it was Battle Immortal Transformation.
Battle Immortal Transformation was far too fierce and uncompromising. To gain the combat power of an immortal in a single life and break the Heavenly Shackles to become immortal was simply too difficult.
This method of becoming immortal had always circulated throughout the Great Universe, yet even Ancient Emperors did not dare put it into practice.
Obtaining the combat power of an immortal in one's First Life was simply impossible to achieve.
However, Chen Zhao knew that at the end of the Ancient Era, the Fighting Saint Emperor, the final emperor of that era, would attempt Battle Immortal Transformation.
Then, while undergoing the Battle Immortal Tribulation, he would be ambushed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
After the Fighting Saint Emperor died during Battle Immortal Transformation, the Dharma-Ending Age of heaven and earth would arrive ahead of time, drastically changing the cultivation environment.
The Ancient Era, originally rich in the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, would become the Desolate Ancient Era, where cultivation was difficult.
Even the Ancient Races would be unable to adapt to the Dharma-Ending Age and would seal themselves within Divine Source, awaiting Later Generations.
