Contemplating Great Yin beside the Dew Radiance Pool, grasping the truth of the sword through the waning moon and deficient Yang

[ Dew Radiance Pool ].

The light of the frost fell and condensed into a precious sword. The sword was smooth and shiny, with Grand Yin patterns symbolizing the moon, such as jade trees and branches, golden millet celestial phenomena, and the moon palace, rotating as they shone on the pool. The white-gold peach blossom mark on the hilt was slightly fainter than before.

Chen Shuangbai reached out and summoned [ Foot-Long Silk ], which landed in his hand with a soft murmur. It concealed most of its imagery, with only the numerous Grand Yin Xuan patterns on its smooth blade still gleaming.

As the sword's master, Chen Shuangbai's first glance fell upon the platinum peach blossom mark on the sword's hilt.

This was not from his Sword Essence, but rather a gift from the sword immortal after he won the Dharma assembly and paid homage to the Sword Stele left by that sword immortal, which was then placed on the sword.

After exiting the strange space formed by the Sword Stele, Chen Shuangbai discovered on the sword that, after touching it with his Divine Sense, he understood that it must be a trace of Sword Intent left by that [ Sword Immortal Huanzhen ].

Its name is [Returning to the Origin and Establishing Truth: The Supreme Yang Qi Sword Intent ].

Since obtaining this trace of Sword Intent, Chen Shuangbai has been constantly studying it, and has already gleaned much of the demeanor of that sword immortal from back then.

But as for when his Sword Intent would emerge...

Chen Shuangbai felt that something was still missing.

"I cultivate the [ Law Sword ], which teaches how to wield the sword with magic, while this sword immortal cultivates the [ Extreme Sword ], which teaches that one's life and honor are entrusted to the three-foot blade, making it the most ruthless of the three sword paths."

Chen Shuangbai stroked the smooth blade of the [ Foot-Long Silk ] sword, thinking to herself, "His Sword Intent is pure, sharp, unstoppable, and leaves no room for retreat."

"My initial intention in cultivating the sword was to use it as a means of protection, hence my actions always carry a degree of consideration and restraint... Perhaps the condensation of this Sword Intent should be referenced from the path of this sword immortal..."

"It should be pure and unwavering, without any ulterior motives?"

Chen Shuangbai pondered for a long time, then couldn't help but sigh softly.

In the thousands of years of the Celebrated Splendor Continent, the number of people who have achieved Sword Intent is no more than two hands.

For nearly a thousand years, all the major sword sects and schools in the country, including those Nascent Soul True Lord and Golden Core True Person, have been pursuing the Sword Intent!

Only those who have mastered the Sword Intent can be revered as [Sword Immortals].

Leaving aside the distant past, let's take the Empty Sword Sect, which was originally located in the Jing Kingdom. It has been established for nearly eight hundred years. It is said that its founder was just a hair's fortuitous opportunity away from touching the Sword Intent. After that, it declined with each generation. By the time of Old True Person He, only three or four people had achieved Sword Essence.

But how difficult is it to achieve Sword Intent?

Among the three inherited methods of the Jade Spring Sect, the [ Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture ] is indeed for cultivating the sword path... However, very few disciples of all generations have cultivated it. The last generation produced True Person Mei, who is now trapped in the Sword Essence Realm and has not been able to transform for a long time.

etc...

Chen Shuangbai slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "How stupid of me! How could I have forgotten about the [ Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture ]?!"

After instructing Changming to keep an eye on the pool, Chen Shuangbai walked out of the back hall and came to the portraits and ancestral tablets of the patriarchs in the front hall. He secretly held the sect leader's golden token and used his Law Power to summon them. Three golden books and jade scrolls appeared from the the Unseen tablets. They were the three methods that the patriarchs brought out from the [ Heavenly River Dao Lineage ], among which was the [ Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture ]!

"Logically speaking, one can only choose one True Disciple from among the disciples... but there are reasons for this. I'm just using it as a reference. I'm sure even when the True Lord emerges from seclusion, he won't blame me, right?"

Having made up his mind, Chen Shuangbai used the sect leader's golden token as a medium to examine the [ Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture ] on the right with his Divine Sense.

In an instant, a vast stream of information surged into his mind like Heavenly River flowing backwards. Countless sword techniques, sword styles, and sword principles flashed before his eyes, as if a Heavenly River composed of countless sword lights was rushing and flowing in his mind.

"Really..."

Within Chen Shuangbai's sea of consciousness, the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] illuminated all directions, rapidly suppressing this massive amount of information so that it would not affect Chen Shuangbai, while also assisting Chen Shuangbai in understanding these sword principles.

"Just as I suspected, this sword manual also belongs to the lineage of the Law Sword."

Chen Shuangbai observed for a long time before finally withdrawing her Divine Sense, a look of understanding appearing on her face.

He closed the golden book and jade scroll, respectfully placed it back in its original position, bowed deeply before the portraits and ancestral tablets of the patriarchs, and said, "Disciple Chen Shuangbai thanks the patriarchs."

After sending the three golden books and jade scrolls back using the sect leader's golden token, Chen Shuangbai probably already had a plan.

"I Transforming Sword using the Grand Yin method, which is significantly higher in rank than ordinary Law Sword. However, my strength and weakness both stem from Grand Yin Grand Yin... Sword Intent is a product of the balance of Yin and Yang. My current swordsmanship lacks a bit of Yang, just like my cultivation... it is deficient in Yang."

In ancient times, the Golden Core was a mysterious substance formed through the harmonious union of the dragon and the tiger.

The dragon represents Yang.

The tiger represents yin (the yin element).

Only through the union of dragon and tiger, and the harmony of yin and yang, can the elixir be formed.

"Although I entered the Dao through Grand Yin and condensed the Lunar Rites Golden Core, which has many mysteries, and although the four seasons and the lunar cycle are in balance, with [ Fifth Month ] symbolizing the Yang of Grand Yin, it is still not enough. If one is only biased towards Yin and lacks Yang, it is ultimately not a long-term solution, and it may even affect my future attainment of the Nascent Soul."

Chen Shuangbai's Dao wisdom, under the influence of the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ], is far superior to that of others.

After reading this sword manual, he immediately understood what he was lacking and was able to apply it to other situations, immediately connecting the way of the sword to his own cultivation.

"The same applies to Sword Intent —if it only possesses the coldness of Grand Yin without the harmony of Yang, it loses the balanced and harmonious way of swordsmanship."

"No wonder I've felt my cultivation progress slowing down in this precious pool... Perhaps I should use external aids to replenish this wisp of yang energy, like elixirs or spiritual objects?"

Having formed an idea, Chen Shuangbai went into the back hall again.

Changming was still soaking in the basin.

For this jade spirit, the water in this treasure pool was very nourishing, so he closed his eyes and looked completely relaxed.

Hearing footsteps, Changming lazily opened one eye and asked, "What has my lord acquired?"

Before long, he came out carrying a reluctant Changming, and sealed the hall again with the sect leader's golden decree. Chen Shuangbai out and returned to Sunken Jade Valley, throwing Changming back onto Jade Screen Peak.

"Keep an eye on the peak. The Crimson Fire Crow is causing trouble in Hengzhang City. I'm going there."

That's all.

Without waiting for Changming's reply, Chen Shuangbai's figure had already merged into the swirling frost and wind, transforming into a moon-white ray of light, weaving through the clouds and breaking through the atmosphere at an extremely fast speed, heading towards Hengzhang City.

Chen Shuangbai stood amidst the escaping light, with the [ Shadow Chang'e ] divine blessing upon him. The patterns of the moon palace and the rising tide of the sea on his clothes swirled in the wind, as if they had come alive.

"Truly miraculous!"
