Before long, Jiang Yun was invited into the most spiritually abundant secret chamber of the Six-Armed Clan.
After setting down layer upon layer of restrictions,
Jiang Yun finally began taking stock of the terrifying gains from this journey!
"Two Acquired Spiritual Roots: the Flaming Fruit Tree and the Pure Moon Lotus!"
"One High-grade Xiantian Spiritual Root: the Primordial Essence Fruit Tree!"
"Thirteen Houtian Spiritual Treasures, including two upper-grade ones: the Flying Phoenix Hairpin and the Nine-Colored Rainbow Robe!"
Looking at those two female immortal treasures, Jiang Yun could not help thinking of his rather silly master.
"Master usually loves dressing up. She'll definitely like these two treasures!"
Finally came the true grand prize!
"An Upper-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, the Four Symbols Bell!"
"An Upper-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, the Ice Soul Cloudlight Umbrella!"
"An Upper-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, the Star Map!"
"And the remains of two Daluo demon gods—the Taiyin and Taiyang Immortal Eyes!!"
Even with Jiang Yun's steadfast Dao heart, his heartbeat could not help accelerating at this moment!
"This haul... was an absolute steal!"
"Mount Buzhou truly deserves to be called the Primordial World's number one divine mountain! Opportunities are everywhere, just as rumored!"
Inside the secret chamber, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged with a solemn expression.
The first things he needed to refine were those two divine pupils!
"Taiyin and Taiyang were originally one body of Yin-Yang!"
"If I can merge these two divine pupils formed from the essence of Daluo demon gods into one..."
"Their power will definitely exceed all imagination!"
Jiang Yun immediately stopped hesitating and brought out the two divine pupils!
At the same time, the Great Sun Purple Sun Mirror floated in the air!
"Purple Sun True Fire! Refine!!"
Roar—!
The blazing, supremely firm and yang Purple Sun True Fire poured down, enveloping the two divine pupils.
Jiang Yun continuously took out the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had plundered from the Three-Eyed Clan's treasury and infused them into the pupils to aid the refinement!
No years were counted in the Primordial World, and cultivation knew no passage of time!
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed!
On this day!
Within the secret chamber, a terrifying surge of Yin-Yang energy erupted!
Under the tempering of the Purple Sun True Fire, the two divine pupils slowly fused together, becoming a mysterious Immortal Eye that was neither black nor white and flowed with an aura of Chaos!
Buzz—!
At that moment, an incomparably profound notification suddenly exploded in Jiang Yun's mind!
[You refined the Taiyin and Taiyang Divine Pupils, merging two demon god remains into one. During the refinement, you gained insight!] [You comprehended a trace of the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Laws and created a divine ability: Postnatal Yin-Yang Divine Light!]
Boom!
Jiang Yun's entire body shook as he suddenly opened his eyes!
As though guided by something, the newly formed "Yin-Yang Immortal Eye" transformed into a streak of light and instantly entered Jiang Yun's brow!
"Open!"
With a thought from Jiang Yun!
A vertical eye slowly opened between his brows!
Within that vertical eye, Yin-Yang energies flowed, as if an entire great world were being born and perishing inside it. It was majestic and mysterious!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Jiang Yun sensed this brand-new power, and his heart filled with wild joy!
"Postnatal Yin-Yang Divine Light!"
Jiang Yun had created this divine ability by imitating Kong Xuan's Primordial Five-Colored Divine Light!
Once unleashed, any Postnatal Yin-Yang-aligned divine ability or treasure could be swept away and collected,
so long as the opponent was not vastly stronger than Jiang Yun!
And that was not all!
When used together with the Yin-Yang Immortal Eye,
a single flash of divine light could even evolve into a Yin-Yang World!
Like the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm that Tathagata Buddha used to suppress Sun Wukong in later ages, it could forcibly imprison an opponent within it!!
It had gathered the essence of the divine abilities of two Daluo demon gods!
With the Yin-Yang Immortal Eye alone, Jiang Yun already had no rival beneath the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!!
Even against those who had just entered the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he could contend with them for a time!
And this was merely the power of the Yin-Yang Immortal Eye.
Yet this was not even his greatest gain!!
For Jiang Yun, the greatest harvest from this seclusion was actually the trace of Yin-Yang Law mysteries he had comprehended!
Back when Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached at Purple Cloud Palace, he had said there were three methods of attaining the Dao: Merit, Three Corpses Enlightenment, and Strength Enlightenment!
Hongjun had deliberately been vague, claiming that the path Pangu had taken was Strength Enlightenment, only to fail at the last step and transform his body into all things.
He did this to mislead the living beings of the Primordial World, making those great experts all choose the first two seemingly safer paths!
No one knew that what Pangu had sought to attain was the supreme Great Dao, rather than the Heavenly Dao!
True Strength Enlightenment was not merely accumulating immeasurable magical power, but mastering Laws and attaining the Dao through the power of Laws!!
Just like the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods of ancient Chaos, who were born wielding Laws. Even the weakest among them possessed strength in the Hunyuan Realm.
The stronger ones even surpassed the Heavenly Dao.
It was only because the Law Pangu wielded was the Law of Force that there came to be talk of accumulating immeasurable magical power.
The first two methods, whether Merit Enlightenment or Three Corpses Enlightenment, appeared easier, but in truth, they exhausted one's potential beyond Hunyuan!
Even after attaining Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal through these two methods, it would be difficult to advance any further, stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao, or pose any threat to it!
Only the path of Laws was the proper path of cultivation beneath the Great Dao, one that allowed no shortcuts!
Comprehend ten percent of a Law, and one would enter the Early Quasi-Sage realm!
Thirty percent meant the middle stage!
Fifty percent allowed one to reach the late stage!
If one could comprehend a Law to seventy percent, one could ascend in a single step and attain Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, comparable to a Saint!
An ordinary cultivator, even upon reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak, could not make even a single Law entry-level without great opportunity, great perseverance, and great wisdom!
Yet Jiang Yun, while only at the Peak Mysterious Immortal realm, had already begun comprehending Laws and grasped a trace of the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Laws!
Once his cultivation advanced another step, he could make the Laws entry-level!
It could be said that before becoming a Quasi-Sage, he would no longer face any bottlenecks or barriers. He merely needed to steadily accumulate magical power!
If others learned of this, who knew how shocked they would be!
This was the terror of Heaven-Defying Comprehension—it lay in "comprehension," and it truly deserved the words "heaven-defying"!
After completing the refinement of the Yin-Yang Immortal Eye, Jiang Yun took out the Four Symbols Bell and Star Map, two Upper-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures.
He divided his attention in two and refined them simultaneously!
His Heaven-Defying Comprehension displayed its effects once more. Under Jiang Yun's contemplation, the spiritual workings of the treasures soon became clear to him.
He then washed them with magical power!
One layer!
Two layers!
Three layers!
Refining spiritual treasures was also a process that went from easy to difficult.
It was simple at first, but later on—especially for the final several Xiantian Divine Restrictions—if one could not comprehend even a trace of the Innate Undying Spiritual Light contained within a Xiantian Spiritual Treasure,
it would be absolutely impossible to completely refine that Xiantian Spiritual Treasure!
Another ten years later, Jiang Yun had each refined twelve Xiantian Divine Restrictions in the two treasures. Once he could wield them as easily as his own limbs, he calmed his mind, rose to his feet, and left seclusion.
Outside the secret chamber, A Duo had actually been guarding the entrance the entire time.
Seeing Jiang Yun emerge, A Duo was immediately overjoyed. "Immortal Elder! You've come out of seclusion!"
Seeing her faithfully keep watch for twenty years, Jiang Yun nodded slightly to himself.
"A Duo, I must continue my travels."
Jiang Yun took out a jade talisman and handed it to A Duo.
"Keep this talisman safely. I will come arrange matters for the Six-Armed Clan in the future. During this time, if your clan faces a calamity of annihilation, crush this talisman, and I will sense it."
