Moonlight spilled across the tranquil mountain forest, dyeing everything in silver-white, as if it were the distant land of Guanghan.

The rolling Tianyan Mountain Range, towering and winding, lay silent and still in the darkness. The occasional roar of a beast echoing in the distance made one's heart tremble with unease.

Lin Yiqing found a secluded cave to serve as a temporary base. After firmly blocking the entrance, he began to regulate his state.

He intended to officially break through to the Lesser Origin Pellet Realm this very night!

In fact, ever since he had absorbed the Sun Qi, the Origin Power within his body had accumulated with increasing density.

Every time the Greater Yin Qi and Sun Qi circulated through his body, they stimulated his cultivation technique, causing his accumulated Origin Power to grow even more formidable.

By now, he was on the verge of a breakthrough, so he had no choice but to choose this place to condense his Origin Pellet.

After regulating his breath for a moment, Lin Yiqing adjusted his state, then stirred the Origin Power in his Dantian, urging the Greater Yin Qi and Sun Qi to collide with one another.

"Hum!"

An invisible ripple of Origin Power emanated outward. Lin Yiqing could not help but tremble; a sense of being unable to maintain control surged from within his heart.

The situation where the Greater Yin Qi and Sun Qi had chased each other under the guidance of the Mysterious Light Orb without ever touching was completely shattered. The two instantly collided violently within his Dantian.

"Pfft!"

In a mere instant, Lin Yiqing felt as if he were a delicate piece of porcelain about to shatter, and streaks of blood sprayed violently from his body.

Within his Dantian, an incomparable power erupted. Golden and silver rays of light shone through his body, illuminating the entire cave as if it were broad daylight.

However, just as the two energies were about to rupture his body, the Mysterious Light Orb, which had not appeared for a long time, manifested once again in his Dantian.

In an instant, a vast, boundless, and supreme aura began to permeate his Dantian.

The two energies calmed down instantly, as if subjects meeting their sovereign, not daring to offer the slightest resistance.

Seeming to perceive Lin Yiqing's predicament, the Mysterious Light Orb trembled slightly, shedding several strands of hazy, clear light. Lin Yiqing's shattered body recovered in an instant.

Under the will of the Mysterious Light Orb, the Greater Yin Qi and Sun Qi began to rotate frantically and obediently around Lin Yiqing's Dantian.

For a time, Lin Yiqing could not even distinguish their colors; they flickered between white and black, as if the fundamental truths of heaven and earth resided within them.

Gradually, the two formed a natural Taiji Diagram, with the black and white Yin-Yang fish each occupying half. Yin and Yang gave birth to the Taiji, and the Taiji gave birth to the two poles.

With the formation of the Taiji, a point of Yang was conceived within the Yin, and Yin was born at the extreme of Yang. The two poles were born, transforming into one another while remaining in opposition, interdependent and coexisting.

Solitary Yin does not grow, and solitary Yang does not flourish; their interaction creates harmony, and all things are born. The extreme Yin is solemn, the extreme Yang is radiant; the solemnity comes from heaven, the radiance issues from the earth. Through their interaction, harmony is achieved, and all things are born.

Yin and Yang intertwine, condensing the Origin Pellet!

Having reached this step, Lin Yiqing intended to borrow this momentum to condense his Origin Pellet and break through to the Lesser Origin Pellet Realm!

Under the frantic rotation of the Taiji pattern formed by the two energies, Lin Yiqing felt as if he had become a sponge. His Dantian continuously expanded and contracted, and during this process, the Origin Power of heaven and earth was being absorbed frantically.

"Condense!"

A brilliant light erupted from Lin Yiqing's eyes, and the Taiji pattern within his Dantian suddenly contracted.

Immediately following, a "singularity" appeared, and all the Yin-Yang Qi in his Dantian was suddenly absorbed into it.

The interaction of the two energies gives birth to all things; all things grow, and their transformations are infinite.

Then, a pellet the size of a pigeon's egg appeared in his Dantian. The pellet was chaotic in color, radiating wisps of white celestial light.

There were no patterns on its surface, yet it seemed to be covered in the patterns of the Great Dao, appearing extremely sacred.

Origin Pellet!

Supreme Origin Pellet!

In this instant, a powerful force surged from the depths of Lin Yiqing's body. A sense of strength that could not be described in words spread from his Dantian, eventually reaching every part of his body.

That strength was a qualitative change from body to soul!

"When the primordial chaos first divided, Yin and Yang were first arranged. That which was light and clear floated up to become heaven, and that which was heavy and turbid settled down to become earth..."

Suddenly, lines of Daoist chants resounded once again in Lin Yiqing's heart. When he opened his eyes, he had arrived in that chaotic world once more.

And this time, he was finally permitted to perceive the Mysterious Light Orb!

The chaos was undivided and the world was in turmoil, vast and boundless, unseen by any. The Taiji Bagua resided in its palm, creating heaven and earth as the master of all.

It possessed the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind, to transform the power of the Yin-Yang Five Elements, to divide and manage the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and to encompass the phenomena of all transformations.

It was the artifact that created heaven and earth: the Taiji Diagram!

In an instant, Lin Yiqing's mind went blank. He had never imagined that the Mysterious Light Orb that had been helping him all along would be an artifact from the myths and legends of his previous life.

However, in a flash, he realized that from the very beginning, whether it was his Origin Qi Vision, the Yin-Yang energies, or even the Wordless Heavenly Book in his Mud Pill Palace, all of them had been under its authority.

Everything had had signs, but he had never thought in this direction.

He had had his guesses, but they were nothing like what he saw before him.

Then why had he come to this world? Was everything really as simple as he had thought?

His heart was filled with doubt and confusion. He tried to communicate with the Taiji Diagram, but there was no response at all.

All he received were the few lines of Daoist chants he occasionally perceived.

Perhaps, it is because I am not yet strong enough!

Lin Yiqing's thoughts whirled as he instantly grasped the key; from his Body Tempering Realm days until now, he had been receiving responses step by step.

Perhaps, when he became strong enough one day, he would be able to uncover the truth!

His path of seeking the Dao had never changed; searching for the Dao and pursuing the truth had always been his beacon and guide.

"Hum!"

A sense of weightlessness washed over him. Lin Yiqing opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. After such a long period of cultivation, he had finally stepped into the Lesser Origin Pellet Realm!

However, the road ahead remained shrouded in mist, long and obstructed.

Suppressing his stray thoughts, a smile finally appeared on Lin Yiqing's handsome face. Since he couldn't figure it out, he would simply let nature take its course.

Examining his Origin Pellet closely, Lin Yiqing felt as if he were in a dream. This was the Supreme Origin Pellet forged from Greater Yin Qi and Sun Qi.

Unprecedented and unrepeatable, a one-of-a-kind Origin Pellet.

Yet, it was precisely because of this that he dared to say his path of seeking the Dao had truly begun.

Origin Pellets had different qualities, ranging from one to nine, distinguished by star patterns; one star was the lowest, and nine stars were the strongest.

The path of cultivation was interconnected, and the quality of the Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi absorbed during the Earth Origin Realm and Heaven Origin Realm directly determined the quality of the Origin Pellet.

Ordinary cultivators mostly absorbed graded cold energy and the Yang Gang Qi from Yang Yuan Stones, while disciples of major factions could soak in the Immortal Pellet Pool and use Yin Yang Beads to assist in cultivating their Origin Pellets.

However, no matter the grade of Yin Sha and Yang Gang Qi used to condense an Origin Pellet, they were fundamentally different from Lin Yiqing's.

"The Lesser Origin Pellet Realm is truly powerful!"

An incomparably potent force surged within his body, and Lin Yiqing couldn't help but feel waves of joy.

Every rotation of the Supreme Origin Pellet in his dantian frantically drew in the Origin Power from heaven and earth.

This powerful sensation made him somewhat unable to stop.

Clenching his fists and feeling the power within his dantian, he felt that if he were to encounter an expert of Yuan Li's caliber again, he would only need one move!
