Dragon-Tiger Golden Core
In this newly created little world, Ling Yi stands alone at the highest point of the 'land', gazing up at the 'starry sky'.
Everything here is so simple: the sky and earth, the sea and land, the soil and rocks, the grass and trees... everything is so sparse.
This small, simple space, compared to the Storage Soul Tool that Ling Yi had previously created, seemed to have only one additional function: the ability to hold living beings.
Just like the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" that Dugu Bo obtained.
The difference is that the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" only has a space of ten cubic meters, but this small world is now a super giant spherical space with a diameter of more than one thousand meters!
Apart from the thin air generated by the five elements and a small amount of yellow sand and soil, everything here was basically taken in by Ling Yi from the outside world.
Many years ago, when the interior space of the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" was insufficient, Ling Yi considered creating a portable and self-sufficient "small farm" modeled after Newt's Suitcase from the world of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
I originally thought it wouldn't be too difficult; all I had to do was figure out the working principle of the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" and expand upon it.
Who knew that after spending some time researching, Ling Yi discovered that creating a true "small farm" where plants and animals could survive and grow was just as difficult as opening up a cave world!
The space inside the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Purse" is merely an additional "Spirit Locking" effect that allows Life to survive within it; in essence, it is still just a warehouse for storing items.
At most, compared to other vacuum environments, this warehouse has air that allows organisms to survive, but it lacks the 'atmospheric environment' necessary for organisms to live.
An 'atmospheric environment' cannot be created simply by taking in air, water, soil, and other substances from the outside. Ordinary storage spaces containing these substances would be like stagnant water, unable to support life for long, and would quickly lose their Life characteristics.
To put it in a more fantastical way, it is a void space that lacks the laws and rules governing a world.
The reason why Ling Yi was able to create this small world was actually due to a clever trick.
After years of research and the birth of his own "Holy Embryo," Ling Yi's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and nature has grown day by day.
While Ling Yi cannot directly create a complete world, he can still try to expand it by using a seed of an "Inner Heaven and Earth" and filling it with the fundamental laws that constitute the world, such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
Coincidentally, while searching for a suitable Soul Beast for Gu Rong as her Ninth Soul Ring, a suitable target for Ling Yi's ' Inner Heaven and Earth Seed' was also identified:
The "Space-Escaping Whale" talent is generated, which is used to hide in the inner space for escape!
By using the Soul Guidance Array to refine the most fundamental power of the five elements, and then introducing it into the inner space of the "Space-Escaping Whale", and then using the vast spatial power of the "Starlight Sapphire" to stabilize and strengthen the inner space, Ling Yi guided the power of the five elements to recreate earth, water, wind and fire, filling the blank basic laws in the inner space, and creating a new world.
It sounds simple, but it contains all of Ling Yi's insights and inspirations from his cultivation so far, plus a little bit of luck, which is why he was able to successfully open it up.
Although the newly formed world is small, it is a relatively complete world. As Ling Yi absorbs various substances from Douluo Star outside, the corresponding laws are also slowly perfecting themselves.
For Ling Yi, the pioneer, this has one major advantage: these laws, which are still being perfected, are almost nakedly displayed before his eyes, allowing him to observe and comprehend them.
Standing atop the small world's land, Ling Yi's ' Holy Embryo ' had already transformed into a vast and sacred dharma image a thousand meters tall, with his feet on the seabed and his head reaching the sky. His eyes were level with the illusory image of the bright moon standing in the air and the illusory image of the great sun hidden in the crevices of space.
Looking at the 'Great Sun' and 'Bright Moon' before him, Ling Yi felt the essence of the Sun and moon up close. He left the ' Holy Embryo ' in this small world and his physical body flashed to the Star Moon Lake Island in the outside world.
Looking up at the night sky where the bright moon hangs high and the stars are shining, Ling Yi's eyes are bright and he instantly locks onto a fiery existence hidden in the sky - the Great Sun!
At this moment, Ling Yi's body synchronized with the ' Holy Embryo ', the cold shadow of the 'Bright Moon' appeared in his right eye, and the blazing shadow of the 'Great Sun' was reflected in his left eye.
He took a step, raised his hand, and formed a fist seal. A vast and ancient aura, seemingly conceived since the primordial era, appeared on Ling Yi's body.
An inexplicable charm emanated from him, and the area around Ling Yi shone brightly, illuminating the heavens and the earth, rivaling the brilliance of the moon in the sky!
Within the small world, the same aura emanated from the ' Holy Embryo '. The illusory image of the 'Great Sun', which was originally hidden in the spatial crevices, appeared and coexisted with the illusory image of the 'Bright Moon', forming the extraordinary phenomenon of the Sun Moon in the sky.
Absorbing that ancient and boundless aura, the illusory 'Great Sun' and 'Bright Moon' gradually solidified, as if stepping out of a painting into reality. Although still ethereal, they were no longer false.
At the very moment when the 'Great Sun' and 'Bright Moon' were transformed from fakes into real ones, the entire small world suddenly trembled inexplicably and expanded once again.
Even though he was in the outside world, through the existence of the ' Holy Embryo ', Ling Yi could clearly feel that the rules of heaven and earth and the power of the world from Douluo Star were being continuously absorbed by the small world.
Ling Yi continued practicing the "Two Aspects Fist" on his own. This was the South China Sea, far from the Douluo Continent and the West Sea. At this time, the "Moonlight and Starlight Vital Energy Ocean" phenomenon was appearing. During this period, this area was almost independent of Douluo Star, absorbing a little bit of the world's power and replicating some of the rules of heaven and earth, just like scooping a little water from the pond in the courtyard of "Douluo Star" during a torrential downpour.
Ling Yi swung his left hand forward and bent his right hand back. Crimson gold and Blue Silver phantoms faintly appeared in his palms, and two-colored light spots flew out from the void around him, dancing around him.
September 9th, 2626th year of the Douluo Calendar.
Lingyun City, City Lord’s Mansion, Martial Arts Arena.
A white jade disc, measuring 33 feet high, 18 feet wide, and 2 feet thick, stands at the eastern corner of the training ground.
Three pictures were carved on the white jade disc. The craftsmanship was so high that it was Wushuang. Each picture was extremely realistic, with every detail meticulously depicted. It was also colored with colorful halos, as if it were not a painting, but a real scene that had been moved onto the jade disc.
The first picture shows a spring pool in red and blue. The red exudes a scorching heat, while the blue gives a sense of chill. Around the spring pool are various exotic flowers and plants of different shapes.
The second picture still depicts the red and blue spring pools, but this time, two lotus flowers have grown in the pools.
Blue lotuses stand still in the crimson spring water, while crimson lotuses sway gently in the blue spring water.
In the third picture, the red and blue spring pools have disappeared, replaced by two halos, one gold and one silver.
Sun! Moon!
In the center of the training ground, Ling Yi was practicing the "Two Aspects Fist," surrounded by golden and silver light spots. His movements were the same as always, but in the eyes of Chen Jianjun and the others, there was an indescribable feeling.
"Yang Clan girl~" Chen Jianjun glanced at the jade wall not far away, his eyes fixed on Ling Yi's movements, and asked Yang Shelly, who was not far away, "Kid Yi has been in seclusion for three months, what kind of secret technique has he created this time?"
"It still looks like the ' Two Aspects Fist,' but it feels... how should I put it..."
After thinking for a long time, Chen Jianjun still couldn't find a suitable adjective and got stuck there.
"Grandpa, you can't tell either, so ask me, I don't know either—" Yang Shelly replied without turning her head, her beautiful eyes also fixed on Ling Yi's every move.
Chen Jianjun was clearly dissatisfied with this answer and continued, "Given your relationship with Kid Yi, didn't he mention the jade carving over there to you?"
"That one?" Yang Shelly glanced at the jade wall not far away, then continued watching Ling Yi's martial arts demonstration, and casually replied, "Brother Yi said that's called ' Lingyun Nine Heavens Diagram,' and it's a half-finished product."
"A semi-finished product?!"
Chen Jianjun's voice rose slightly, his sword-like eyes now seemingly wanting to look at Ling Yi with one eye and the jade carving on the other, to confirm each other's points.
As the highest-ranking combatant in Lingyun City and the highest-ranking Level 97 Super Douluo, Chen Jianjun's insight is definitely superior to that of the other onlookers present.
He could confidently tell Chen Xin and Gu Rong, the two newly appointed masters, that even he, Chen Jianjun, was deeply impressed by the power of the Sun and moon manifested on Ling Yi's body. Of the three paintings on the jade wall, he could only comprehend the meaning of water and fire complementing each other in the first painting, and he was vaguely moved by the mutual generation of water and fire in the second painting. As for the Sun and moon in the third painting, he was completely baffled.
Chen Jianjun and the others were completely dumbfounded, while Ling Yi himself saw everything clearly, his mind reflecting on his surroundings.
From a mental perspective, Ling Yi could see that as the external forces of the Sun and moon, stirred by his thoughts, stimulated his own Yin and Yang energies, five streams of five-colored energy were generated from his five internal organs. These five-colored energy circulated and flowed in the interaction of Yin and Yang energies.
During this period of time, Ling Yi had been using the small world as a reference point to comprehend the nakedly manifested Yin-Yang and Five Elements laws within it, and his heart was filled with inspiration and insights.
If we say that the five internal organs, which were originally strengthened by the power of Qi and Blood and then by the power of magnetic thunder, were transformed from fist-sized iron ore into basketball-sized refined iron, their size and mass were much greater.
At this moment, Ling Yi felt as if refined iron was gradually transforming into gold!
No matter how large or hard the refined iron is, it will eventually decay and rust. Gold, however, is fundamentally different. Gold is immortal, and it is the Tao and the principle engraved in the rules of heaven and earth.
As the five elements and yin Ling Yi's "Two Aspects Fist" became more and more natural. He closed his eyes and felt that there was a mysterious and profound existence gradually being born in his body.
When the "Two Aspects Fist" was completed and Ling Yi stood in the closing posture, the golden and silver light spots that had been surrounding him, which were the power of the Sun and the moon, collided on their own and transformed into invisible creative forces that entered Ling Yi's body.
As the divine inspiration entered his body, the mysterious energy within Ling Yi's body immediately captured it, and his internal organs immediately emitted strange sounds.
"Hold head high--!!!"
"Roar--!!!"
The sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls grew louder and louder, rising and falling within Ling Yi's body.
At this moment, the mysterious energy that had been there before rapidly descended from the five internal organs and arrived in the dantian. Ignoring the azure primordial energy equivalent to a level seventy-eight Soul Power, it directly occupied the center of the dantian.
As you can see, the mysterious energy manifests itself in the form of a golden drop of water, within which the shapes of dragons and tigers, formed from yin and yang, chase and linger.
As the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core returned to its place, the vast and boundless Qi and Blood within Ling Yi's Ling Yi suddenly found its eye, rapidly tempering his muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, meridians, and acupoints under the guidance of this eye.
Wherever it went, every inch of flesh and blood cell was like a tiger that hadn't eaten for three days and three nights, frantically devouring the endless flow of Qi and Blood.
The strange phenomena within Ling Yi's body were invisible to Yang Shelly, Chen Jianjun, and the others outside. However, as Ling Yi's flesh and blood grew stronger through tempering, a phantom image of a dragon and tiger began to gather and disperse around him.
Coupled with the still-unceasing roars of dragons and tigers, Chen Jianjun and the others were completely dumbfounded.
When all the strange phenomena dissipated, Ling Yi opened his eyes, and Yang Shelly, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ah Rou rushed up to him immediately.
As soon as she approached within three meters of Ling Yi, Ah Rou, with her keenest sense of smell, sniffed, took a deep breath, and her eyes lit up. She exclaimed instinctively, "It smells so good!"
As she spoke, a flash of azure light appeared beneath her feet, Ah Rou bypassed Yang Shelly and the other two girls, rushing straight into Ling Yi's arms. She buried her face in Ling Yi's neck, took a deep breath, and said with a dreamy look in her eyes, "Brother Yi, you smell so good—!"
At the same time, Yang Shelly and the other two women also came to Ling Yi 'Ling Yi side and smelled the strange fragrance emanating from him.
Ling Yi naturally possessed the fragrance of herbs and trees, as did Ah Yin, a characteristic stemming from the "Blue Silver Emperor" bloodline.
But at this moment, the fragrance was not just the scent of grass and trees, but also an indescribable sweet aroma, giving people an extremely pure feeling.
Ling Yi also smelled the strange fragrance on his body. He raised his hand and patted Ah Rou's back in his arms, replying with a smile, "This is the natural aura that arises after the body has been tempered to a certain level."
"Ah Yi ~" Chen Jianjun, along with Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and the others, crowded around, looking at Ling Yi with burning eyes, and asked, "What new thing have you come up with this time? Water, fire, yin and yang, dragon roars and tiger howls... It looks quite extraordinary!"
Faced with Chen Jianjun's eager gaze, Ling Yi made no attempt to hide anything. After a moment's thought, he leisurely recited, "Refine the five elements to match Kan and Li, and harmonize Yin and Yang to create the dragon and tiger."
"..." *N
Chen Jianjun's expression froze, as did Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and the others.
At that moment, Yang Shelly placed her hand on Ling Yi's waist, gave it a gentle twist, rolled her eyes at the man, and said irritably, "Speak like a human!"
