Dou Zhao and Jiang Wang had faced the lingering wills of the Two Sages of Yin and Yang within the Five Virtues World deep in Calamity Water, completed their trial, and thus obtained the Yin-Yang School's inheritance. This inheritance was so orthodox that there was no issue at all with saying the two of them could represent the Yin-Yang School of the present age.
This inheritance was later supplemented in Fallen Immortal Forest.
Dou Zhao died and was reborn; Jiang Wang ferried others across the Three Paths.
The two sages of the Era of All Sages—Zheng Shao and Zhao Fanlu, who perfected the doctrines of yin and yang—had both stood at the absolute peak of Dao Derivation. Because of their contributions and strength, they had even been called the "Lesser Sages of Yin and Yang."
But today's Dou Zhao and Jiang Wang had already caught up from behind.
As they were today, they were not entirely the same as the Two Sages of Yin and Yang.
Dou Zhao, who commanded the yin aspect of the ghost body, possessed the fierce and blazing power of Daydream Made Real. This was called grasping yang while holding yin.
Jiang Wang, who commanded the yang aspect of the human body, possessed the hidden power of the Sea of the Subconscious. This was called grasping yin while holding yang.
They themselves contained yin and yang, and they illuminated one another.
Indeed, the Yin-Yang School inheritance of those two sages, bound to the paths of fate, had never been their foundation. It was merely one path in their long journey of cultivation, one form of support.
They would surely exist beyond the Two Sages of Yin and Yang. No one doubted this.
This era was the most dazzling and glorious in all antiquity and history. In
