After explaining the relevant details, the Palace Master fell silent and sank into thought.
Clearly, even he had been stumped, for this was likely a problem that genuinely plagued Grandmaster White Bone as well.
His wisdom was as vast as the sea, his experience abundant, and he had pored over countless books. Yet the martial path of a Grandmaster was no longer something that could be encompassed by merely following what was written.
Every Grandmaster was a living legend of the martial path.
Even in the ancient and Medieval Eras, when Gods and Devils still walked the world, this remained true.
That Grandmaster surnamed Qiao was quick-witted. Thinking of something, he proposed,
"This one's ancestors possessed some foundation and heritage, with knowledge spanning many fields. As for this method, I do have a solution.
"One way is to thoroughly comprehend and master the essence of the martial arts one has learned, then transcend them—or, through some fortunate coincidence, reach the realm where yin reaches its extreme and gives rise to yang. Then the problem of excessive yin and insufficient yang can be resolved on its own.
"However, this method demands far too much talent and aptitude from a martial artist. Such people are one in ten thousand, making it difficult to serve as a universal solution.
"The other way is this: since one has chosen the path of yin qi, why not cast aside the limits of the flesh entirely? Disperse all the yang qi in one's body and turn wholly to yin qi instead.
"As far as I know, the Demonic Path possesses an Arid Demon Divine Skill. From its initial stage, it begins to discard the human body, instead absorbing all kinds of Killing Intent, Deathly Qi, yin qi, evil qi, and the like from heaven and earth.
