NOVPUBThe Forgotten Dust Emperor had not yet been chosen by destiny. When he obtained the Yang Pearl, he still could not escape the curse of being forgotten.
However, he was far more fortunate than the Forgetful Taoist. With his extraordinary talent, he ultimately shouldered the destiny of his era through his own efforts.
Chu Yang stored all the books into his ring, then approached the box full of anticipation.
He slowly opened the box and saw a faintly dark pearl lying quietly inside.
The moment the pearl appeared, the Yin Pearl within Chu Yang began to tremble violently.
The Yin Pearl flew out from his body, intertwining and merging with the Yang Pearl, as a white and a black light emitted from the two pearls.
Then, the two strands of light intertwined and soared into the void above, with radiant white and black lights shooting straight into the sky.
Suddenly, the sky changed dramatically above, as the heavens turned into a vortex with lightning flashing, thunder roaring, and a sudden storm brewing.
Within that vortex, boundless mighty power rained down, with the black and white lights endlessly circulating in it.
A "rumbling" noise like thunder exploded in the sky, and then the two strands of black and white light plunged down from the firmament.
Under Chu Yang’s astonished gaze, the lights charged directly into his body.
At that moment, his body turned half black and half white.
When the two strands of light entered his body, they instantly transformed into Yin and Yang Qi.
In that moment, Chu Yang’s consciousness sank into chaos, as if his mind were floating amidst Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang represent the path of duality, the attributes of all things.
With the existence of Yin and Yang, the world was divided into polarities, giving all things their counterparts.
Half black, half white, Yin and Yang, water and fire, big and small, male and female.
Beyond the path of duality, Yin and Yang can also transform into the Five Elements, which in turn can generate the Bagua.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth,
Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui.
Chu Yang didn’t know how long it had been, as he was deeply immersed in the Great Yin-Yang Path.
Only when the Yin and Yang Qi gradually integrated into his body did he open his eyes, his left eye black and his right eye white.
Chu Yang slowly extended his right hand, with white and black spiritual energy intertwining at his fingertips, a deeply profound meaning spreading amidst them.
...…
"Yang, how do you feel?" the Reincarnation Elder asked with satisfaction.
"The Great Yin-Yang Path, an essential construct of the world," Chu Yang took a deep breath, smiling excitedly, "Teacher, I have comprehended the Great Yin-Yang Path."
"Having gone through so many tribulations, you now truly possess the foundation to become a strong individual," the Reincarnation Elder said with a smile.
"Azure Cloud Battle Body, Great Yin-Yang Path, I wonder how they compare to those of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect?" Chu Yang asked.
"It’s hard to say, the foundations of the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect are too profound," the Reincarnation Elder replied. "But you are not far behind. In my opinion, you are someone with great destiny.
Whether you can bear the mantle of destiny, I am not certain, but your future achievements will definitely not be low."
"Teacher," Chu Yang fell silent for a moment, then solemnly said, "Thank you. If it weren’t for your help along the way, I suppose I would still be an ordinary youth in Qingyang Village."
"That’s not entirely true," the Reincarnation Elder chuckled. "Frankly, I had some selfish motives when I first helped you."
"Teacher, whatever it is you need, just say the word, and I will do my utmost to accomplish it," Chu Yang quickly said.
"You are still too weak now. Wait until you reach the Emperor Pulse Realm, and then I’ll tell you," the Reincarnation Elder seemed to reminisce something, heaving a few sighs before smiling somewhat helplessly.
Having acquired the legacy of the Great Yin-Yang Path, Chu Yang also prepared to leave the castle.
He looked at the castle with its imposing aura and highly unusual architecture, bowed deeply at the waist.
Then he stepped into the Teleportation Array, as Spiritual Energy surged around him, only to see his figure gradually vanish within the Formation.
......
Chu Yang didn’t know where the Teleportation Array would send him.
During the teleportation, his surroundings were filled with chaotic spatial currents, and he couldn’t see anything clearly.
When a bright light flickered before his eyes, Chu Yang realized he had already arrived atop a hill.
Unsure of his location, he looked into the distance, where a city seemed to be not far off.
He wrapped his Wandering Dragon Sword in cloth and slung it on his back, then started toward the city.
The ancient city exhaled a low sigh, with the words "Five Elements City" slowly glowing in the sunlight.
After inquiring within the city, Chu Yang found out that although it was still in the Extreme West Region, it was now within the territory of the Green Wood Empire.
......
The crowded throngs were gathered on the main street of Five Elements City, completely blocking the front of a pharmacy.
An elderly man protected his granddaughter behind him, his face showing fear as he looked at the people ahead.
The young man across from him was dressed in brocade robes, followed by two guards clad in iron armor.
"Old Wei, I gave you a chance. If you can’t pay the rent for my shop that’s three years overdue, then use your granddaughter to settle the debt," the young man said arrogantly as he looked at the old man.
With a wave of his hands, the two guards by his side moved toward the old man.
The little girl behind him trembled with fear, helplessly hiding behind the old man.
"Young Master Yin, please give me another three months. Once I sell this batch of pills, I will have the money to pay the rent," Old Wei quickly said.
"Another three months after three months, and now it’s already been three years. Where has all your money gone?" the young man called Young Master Yin said with a cold huff, waving his hand dismissively.
"It’s just that you keep raising the rent every month, I can’t do much about it," Old Wei replied helplessly.
"Oh, now you dare to talk back?" Young Master Yin sneered. "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Either pay the rent or settle the debt with your granddaughter, your choice."
......
"Does bullying the old and weak make you feel like a big man?" an unexpected voice arose from the crowd.
The onlookers looked on in surprise at the young man who spoke, only to see Chu Yang pushing through the crowd.
"Kid, who are you?" Young Master Yin glanced at Chu Yang and asked.
"How much do they owe you? I’ll pay it back for them," Chu Yang said indifferently.
"Playing the hero, huh?" Young Master Yin chuckled lightly. "One hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, pay up!"
"Wasn’t it ten thousand?" Old Wei quickly interjected.
"I’ve increased it now. Surely, there has to be interest for three years," Young Master Yin replied with a cold huff.
Chu Yang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he looked disdainfully at Young Master Yin, his Wandering Dragon Sword unsheathing from his back.
With a "clang," two streaks of light, one black and one white, split from the center.
With one slash, Yin and Yang cleaved apart, as if the sky itself concentrated into a single line.
The magnificent sword light flickered by his ear, and before Young Master Yin could even react, the Longsword had already touched his throat.
"You dare to kill me?" Young Master Yin swallowed hard, saying in disbelief.
