Great Luo Dao Fruit, Cultivation Method, and Divine Abilities

The first path he opened and evolved for himself was the Great Dao of Yin-Yang. His innate origin contained the Great Dao of Yin-Yang and the Great Dao of Five Elements, and the first law he had comprehended to perfection was the Law of Yin-Yang.

His understanding and comprehension of Yin-Yang ran deepest. Naturally, it was easiest for him to open and evolve the Great Dao of Yin-Yang.

"What is Yin-Yang?"

"Yin-Yang is the way of Heaven and Earth, the guiding principle of all things, the source of change, and the foundation of life and death."

"A lone yin cannot endure, and solitary yang cannot arise. Only when yin and yang are harmonized can all things be born."

"Yin and yang intertwine, Heaven and Earth transform, human affairs are like dreams, and all things return to their origin."

"Yang gives birth while yin nurtures; yang kills while yin conceals. Yin and yang are mutually rooted, originally one breath."

"When yin and yang are balanced, the Five Elements are harmonious; when the Five Elements are harmonious, all things flourish."

As Yuan Yan immersed himself in enlightenment, endless insights gradually arose within his heart. Using Yin-Yang, he expounded and evolved his understanding of everything in the world, gradually forging his own Great Dao of Yin-Yang.

Among the Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—wood possessed yin and yang, divided into Jia and Yi; fire possessed yin and yang, divided into Bing and Ding; earth possessed yin and yang, divided into Wu and Ji; metal possessed yin and yang, divided into Geng and Xin; water possessed yin and yang, divided into Ren and Gui. The Five Elements also possessed yin and yang. Their mutual generation and restraint, whether in forward or reverse order, were yin and yang. Life and death were mutually yin and yang; withering and flourishing were mutually yin and yang; destruction and creation were mutually yin and yang. Even thunder was yin and yang...

Everything in the world, including the three thousand laws, could be explained through Yin-Yang.

As Yuan Yan used the Great Dao of Yin-Yang to expound and evolve his understanding of everything in the world, his Great Dao of Yin-Yang gradually took shape and slowly became more complete.

Thirty-five epochs later!

Boom! Yuan Yan's Taiyi Dao Fruit manifested. The light of the Great Dao spread out as the three thousand laws revolved and evolved around it, exuding endless Dao charm while rapidly transforming and ascending.

No one knew how long passed. Perhaps it was an instant, or perhaps millions upon millions of years. The Dao light of the Taiyi Dao Fruit blossomed, illuminating the myriad worlds. Infinite Dao charm poured forth, and an aura of indestructibility rose.

No, that was not right. From this moment onward, the Taiyi Dao Fruit was no longer a Taiyi Dao Fruit, but a Great Luo Dao Fruit. His Dao had been completed, and his Dao Fruit had transformed and ascended into a Great Luo Dao Fruit.

After a long while, the light of the Great Dao faded, and the profound, unfathomable Great Luo Dao Fruit vanished as well. Yet the Primordial Gourd Vine that Yuan Yan had become still exuded an indescribable Dao intent.

"Hahahaha..." Yuan Yan laughed heartily!

After twenty-five epochs of secluded cultivation, he had finally opened the Great Dao of Yin-Yang and evolved it to the Great Luo level, transforming his Taiyi Dao Fruit into a Great Luo Dao Fruit.

Although he had yet to break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal, it was already a certainty, merely a matter of time. At most, within one or two epochs, he would use the power of the Great Luo Dao Fruit to transform his innate true spirit into an innate indestructible true spirit, allowing him to break through smoothly.

At that time, he would transcend the River of Time and attain an immortal, indestructible body.

Moreover, his gains over these thirty-five epochs were not limited to that.

As he used Yin-Yang to expound and evolve his understanding of everything in the world, he had also comprehended the laws and Great Daos contained within the Primordial Gourd Vine and the Myriad Dao Primordial Gourd, deepening his understanding of the three thousand laws.

By now, he had comprehended more than a hundred laws to perfection and nearly a thousand laws to the major mastery stage. Even the remaining laws had reached at least the minor mastery stage.

Furthermore, he had sorted through his innate inheritance and the Great Dao of Yin-Yang, refining and perfecting the cultivation methods and divine abilities he had created before.

He was confident that the cultivation methods and divine abilities he had refined and perfected were absolutely among the best in the world, enough to make him invincible among those of the same realm.

The cultivation method he had created was Nine Yin-Yang Evolutions. Everything in the world existed within Yin-Yang, and so did he. He treated his primordial spirit and physical body as yin and yang, carrying out Yin-Yang evolutions.

At the beginning, yin and yang were balanced. Yin would rise and yang would decline until extreme yin was reached; extreme yin gave rise to yang, and yang would rise while yin declined until extreme yang was reached; extreme yang gave rise to yin, and yin would rise while yang declined until yin and yang returned to balance. This formed one cycle of Yin-Yang evolution.

During this process, his primordial spirit and physical body were balanced at the start. As yin and yang evolved, his primordial spirit would gradually grow stronger while his physical body gradually weakened, until his primordial spirit became incomparably powerful and his physical body disappeared. Then his physical body would gradually emerge, growing stronger as his primordial spirit gradually weakened, until his physical body became incomparably powerful and his primordial spirit disappeared. Then his primordial spirit would gradually emerge, growing stronger while his physical body gradually weakened, until the two returned to balance.

Naturally, it could also proceed in reverse. Yang would rise and yin would decline until extreme yang was reached; extreme yang gave rise to yin, and yin would rise while yang declined until extreme yin was reached; extreme yin gave rise to yang, and yang would rise while yin declined until yin and yang returned to balance. This too formed one cycle of Yin-Yang evolution.

Through these Yin-Yang evolutions, both his primordial spirit and physical body could break past their limits. So long as he absorbed sufficient innate spiritual qi after returning to Yin-Yang balance, he could naturally cultivate both his physical body and primordial spirit to the level they had reached at "extreme yin and extreme yang."

Afterward, he could carry out another Yin-Yang evolution and break past the limits of his physical body and primordial spirit once more.

Of course, this method also had its limits. It was impossible to endlessly break past the limits of his physical body and primordial spirit.

Otherwise, he would not need to study the mysteries and comprehend the Dao. He could simply push his physical body and primordial spirit beyond their limits again and again, sweep aside everything with an unparalleled body and primordial spirit, and prove the Dao through strength.

This limit was none other than his comprehension of the Great Dao of Yin-Yang. At any one realm, he could perform at most nine Yin-Yang evolutions.

He was confident that once he converted to Nine Yin-Yang Evolutions and cultivated his physical body and primordial spirit to their limits, his physical body would certainly be no weaker than an Ancestral Witch of the same realm, while his primordial spirit would certainly be no weaker than the Three Pure Ones of the same realm.

(Self-proclaimed. Bragging was free, after all!)

As for divine abilities, there were many!

For example, the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram. He had modeled this divine ability after the heaven-opening supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram. Its defensive power was unmatched, and it also possessed the ability to suppress. However, limited by his realm, it was certainly far inferior to the heaven-opening supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

For example, the Yinyang Divine Light. The Yinyang Divine Light combined destruction, capture, creation, healing, and defense into one. It could be called all-purpose, and it was certainly not weak.

For example, Reversing Yin-Yang. It defied the natural order, reversed acquired circulation, overturned the order within a certain range, and caused an enemy's Dao arts to become chaotic and fail.

Of course, it also had improper uses. He could reverse an enemy's yin and yang, turning a man into a woman, a woman into a man, or making them half-man, half-woman.

For example, the Yin-Yang Furnace! Using the Great Dao of Yin-Yang to invoke the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth, it formed a Yin-Yang Furnace capable of refining everything and impervious to all Daos.

For example, the Yin-Yang Escape Art. This divine ability was divided into forward and reverse forms. Yin-Yang Reverse Escape operated by lowering yang and raising yin, balancing water and fire, and reversing speed, allowing instantaneous changes in direction and spatial-temporal displacement. Yin-Yang Harmonization operated by breaking the balance of yin and yang, instantly reversing and then rebalancing them, using the reversal of one's own yin and yang as motive force to exchange time and space.

For example, Nine Breaths Absorbing Qi. Taking nine breaths as one cycle, it performed nine Yin-Yang revolutions to absorb innate spiritual qi, Dao charm, and spiritual opportunities, rapidly refining them, recovering, and strengthening one's mana.

Besides these Yin-Yang divine abilities that suited his Great Dao, he had also created many great divine abilities.

For example, Three-Lives Body, Boundless Time-Space, avatar techniques, Five-Colored Divine Light, Buzhou Seal, Manipulating Creation, Summoning Wind and Rain, Heavenly Form and Earthly Image, Size as Desired...

However, these divine abilities did not suit his Great Dao. Although they broadened his methods, the power they displayed in his hands was far inferior to that of the Yin-Yang divine abilities.
