466: The Yin-Yang Technique

"This matter..."

Leng Yuekui adjusted her state of mind, her tone suddenly becoming several degrees more serious, carrying an unquestionable command.

"I have already communicated with your Sect Head Senior Martial Uncle and restricted the matter of your resonance with the Law of Yang in the Luoxia Peak area..."

"...to the level of the Sect's highest-ranking Old Ancestors and a few informed Elders."

Her icy eyes looked directly at Yao Delong, carrying a rare and serious warning:

"When traveling outside, unless you are in a desperate situation of life and death, you must never reveal even a fraction of any means that touch upon the power of Law!"

"Even if you use the eighth transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Vast Sun, its true power must be concealed! Simply show people pure Divine Ability and great power."

"First, your Primordial Spirit has just formed a Golden Sun. Although your Foundation is solid, your realm has not yet reached Perfection."

"Forcing yourself to channel and activate that sliver of Law power is too heavy a burden for you!"

"It is like a small child swinging a thousand-pound hammer; a single strike could damage your Origin and Primordial Embryo, shaking the very roots of your dao foundation! The loss outweighs the gain!"

"Second..." A sharp cold light flickered in the depths of Leng Yuekui's eyes.

"The Law of Yang... is domineering and brilliant; it suppresses demons upon encounter!"

"If news of this leaks to the upper echelons of the Heavenly Demon Sect, with the potential and talent you have shown, those monsters will surely stop at nothing!"

"Never mind Nascent Souls or Soul Transformations; I fear even those long-secluded Void Refining Devil Heads..."

"...and even Heart Without Demonic Intent himself would personally tear off all pretenses and cross boundaries to stifle you!"

"At present, they have only issued a bounty, causing Devil Head Cultivators from all sides to move upon hearing the news to harass and find you; this is 'bearing a jade and becoming a target'!"

"We can still deal with that. But if you appear too Heaven-Defying and threaten the Demonic Path's Foundation... that would be a 'calamity of ten thousand deaths'!"

She did not yet know that Yao Delong had been placed at the top of the Blood Demon Must-Kill List, and the bounty was already enough to stir the killing intent of old demons.

Her sincere words at this moment were based on an even longer-term and more terrifying reckoning!

These words were like ice-cold spring water poured over his head, making Yao Delong's heart turn cold with awe.

He had indeed become a bit complacent, forgetting the cruelty of this world and the predatory gazes beyond the borders.

"This Disciple understands! Thank you for the reminder, Revered Master. I will certainly keep it in mind!"

Seeing Yao Delong's solemn expression and grave gaze, it was clear he had truly taken it to heart.

Only then did Leng Yuekui nod slightly, her expression returning to calm.

Her slender, jade-like finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the Cold Jade Throne.

Hum!

A Jade Slip, entirely enveloped in a magnificent and ever-changing sunset glow, appeared out of thin air.

It floated quietly in mid-air, the sunset glow dense and misty, with seven colors rotating endlessly.

Light and darkness intersected, merged, flowed, and were born and destroyed within it in an opposing yet unified manner!

The Jade Slip itself seemed to be a miniature, profound world constantly enacting the mutual exchange of light and dark, and the generation and restriction of Yin and Yang!

A grand, balanced, yet infinitely possible aura of a Heaven Rank High Grade Dao method naturally permeated the air.

The true core Legacy of Luoxia Peak!

Leng Yuekui gestured toward the Jade Slip and said indifferently:

"This is the closely guarded secret of Luoxia Peak, the 'Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art'. Heaven Rank High Grade."

"The conception of this art is lofty; it does not pursue pure, blazing extreme Yang, nor does it indulge in the withered silence of extreme Yin."

Her voice was cold with a hint of distance, as if explaining the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth:

"Witness the transition of day and night at dusk, and comprehend the coexistence of the flowing, changing light and the void, deep darkness in the depths of the ten-thousand-fathom sunset glow!"

"What it seeks is to Revered Master the path of Yin and Yang's flow, deeply investigating the eternal true meaning of the moment when light and dark transform into each other!"

"It is the principle of Yin and Yang balance that the ancestors of our Peak comprehended from all kinds of sunset phenomena over generations."

"Light is not eternally brilliant, and darkness is not eternally silent; the flow between them is the great power of Heaven and Earth, the supreme path of the Dao!"

The Jade Slip turned into a brilliant seven-colored rainbow bridge, crossing space and landing steadily on Yao Delong's outstretched palms.

It felt slightly warm to the touch, and a continuous, endless dao rhyme aura—seeming to contain the Profound Truths of ten thousand sunset glow evolutions—flowed from his fingertips into his Divine Soul.

Without even trying to comprehend it, he felt as if the scene before him was an endless cycle of sunset glow and starlit darkness!

"This art... is unpredictably profound!" Yao Delong's heart swayed.

"As your Revered Master, I received the personal teachings of the Ancestral Master. My primary cultivation is one of the Sect's highest Yin-attribute secret scrolls, the 'Nine Nether Profound Yin True Scripture',"

"Although I have dabbled in this path of Sunset Glow Yin-Yang, my comprehension is not deep. The essence of the 'Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art' is not my specialty," Leng Yuekui said frankly.

She looked out the palace doors, her gaze seemingly piercing through the celestial mountain clouds to a place deep within the Sect where a vast aura resided.

"The originator of this art is actually Elder Long Yu, who sits in the Sect's Grand Elder Hall!"

"In her early years, she used this art as her Foundation to look down upon an entire era!"

"If you encounter difficulties you cannot understand during your cultivation, or if your profound cultivation is blocked at a certain bottleneck..."

"...you may take this core Legacy Jade Slip to the Lotus Pond Dao Palace deep within the Sect's restricted area, burn incense, and pray."

"Seek an audience with Elder Long Yu; perhaps you will gain the Opportunity to receive guidance and have your questions answered."

"This is your Opportunity as the Chief Disciple of Luoxia Peak and the inheritor of this art."

Holding this Jade Slip of immeasurable value, which contained the Peak Profound Truth of a major Peak's Dao path and was of the Heaven Rank High Grade...

Yao Delong took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed deeply:

"This Disciple... thanks Revered Master for the grace of passing on the Law and teaching the Dao!"

Thoughts raced through his mind, surging with an inexpressible sense of pride and emotion:

"A top-tier immortal Sect! This is the Foundation of an immortal Sect! Cultivation Technique hidden treasures? Why worry!"

"As long as a Genius specializing in this path emerges under your Peak, as long as they contribute to the Sect's cause!"

"Naturally, the most suitable and top-level resources will be poured into them! What of fortuitous encounters or snatching techniques in Secret Realms?"

"As long as you are strong enough, talented enough, and valued enough by the Sect, the Sect will naturally pave the ladder to heaven for you!"

"Refreshing! So refreshing!"

"The first eighty years of my life were wasted; eighty years of tempering bitterness cannot compare to this one month!"

"Today's status and fate are all the surging Luck earned through my current Heaven-Defying strength!"

Leng Yuekui did not notice the fleeting, complex surge of emotions in Yao Delong's heart.

"Very well."

Her tone returned to its coldness, carrying a hint of... a decision to throw off a burden.

"The various trivial matters within the Peak are handled by the Deacon Hall."

"However, providing guidance for the Peak Disciples' cultivation, demonstrating techniques and discussing the Dao, deciding on quotas for Secret Realm openings, and even coordinating resource allocation with other Peaks... I have recently gained some insights and need to meditate in quiet. Clear Snow has gone out for tempering and hasn't returned."

"Since you are the Chief Disciple of Luoxia Peak, you should take on this responsibility and put in more effort."

Yao Delong: "...?"

It's here! It's finally here! He knew it!

Beneath a respectful expression of "Ah, yes, yes, yes, this Disciple obeys and will certainly not fail Revered Master's heavy trust to protect the Luoxia Mountain Gate's Dao fate and Foundation!!"

Yao Delong couldn't help but roar with internal criticism:

"Weren't we supposed to finish passing on the technique and then let me get lost and go back to being a mascot?"

"Revered Master, if you want to be a hands-off manager and run away, just say it! Inspecting and demonstrating techniques for Disciples?"

"Opening Secret Realms and distributing resources? And having to argue with those arrogant true Disciples from other Peaks?"

"Isn't this just a pure pit of trouble..."

Indeed! There is no such thing as a free top-tier Cultivation Technique in this world!

Taking a top-tier Legacy means getting trapped in top-tier work like an ox or a horse!

In his heart, he wished he could give a few flying kicks and then flee to the outer realms, but on the surface, he had to remain as respectful as a statue.

Leng Yuekui seemed to see through something; her icy eyes lingered on him for a moment as she added indifferently:

"If there are matters that are truly difficult to decide, they can be postponed until I come out of seclusion. But as the Chief Disciple, you should naturally have authority and responsibility."

Fine... when you go into seclusion, I have to be a gatekeeper and a tool for taking the blame!

Yao Delong's internal complaints were brilliant, but he bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, this Disciple understands."
