395: Yin-Yang Gods

He had just observed Xu Qing and faintly sensed that the other party's aura was unfathomably deep, even surpassing his own. If such a powerful individual could be befriended, it would undoubtedly be a great asset to the Yin Yang Divine Dynasty.

"Since Fellow Daoist is passing through my Yin Yang Divine Dynasty, why not visit my clan for a chat? It would allow this old man to fulfill his duties as a host," Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Since that's the case, I shall impose."

Those who could Cultivate the Ten Great Supreme Dao were not weak, and the old man before him was such an example. In due time, he might even reach a higher level. While Xu Qing might not need to befriend him, the Xu Clan could.

Because under the System's investigation, the Yin Yang Divine Dynasty's foundation was more than met the eye; there were even more powerful existences within his clan.

Upon hearing this, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's smile deepened. He raised his hand and waved, and a surge of Yin and Yang power transformed into a massive gateway. Within the gateway, a vast landscape was vaguely visible.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable stepped aside, making a gesture of invitation.

Xu Qing nodded and stepped into the gateway. Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable followed closely behind, and the two, one after the other, vanished into the Void Realm.

This was a vast and boundless world, with a sun and a moon simultaneously suspended overhead, a truly peculiar sight.

And in this world, whether it was the mountains and rivers or the sun, moon, and stars, all carried the Dao rhyme of Yin and Yang. This Dao rhyme was several times richer than that of the Ancient Land of Dao, as if the Great Dao of Yin and Yang in this world had reached its pinnacle.

Xu Qing sighed with emotion; this clan was indeed worthy of being the descendants of such an existence.

The clan behind this Yin Yang Divine Dynasty was named the Yin-Yang Saint Clan. The progenitor of this clan was the first batch of Innate Divine Spirits born in the Eternal Realm—the Yin-Yang Divine Ancestor.

It was a pity that during the Mythological Era, he participated in that great war for the Eternal mystery and was suppressed by another Innate Divine Spirit, the Five Elements Divine Ancestor.

Although their progenitor died, the Yin-Yang Divine Clan did not decline. From the Nine Heavens Era until now, they could be said to have always flourished.

At this moment, Xu Qing and Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable appeared in a small pavilion atop a high peak. The Yin and Yang Dao rhyme of the entire peak was extremely rich, and a powerful Dao formation had been set up, clearly indicating that this was Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's place of secluded Cultivation.

However, it must be said that from here, one could view the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my Yin-Yang Divine Clan?"

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable asked with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

Xu Qing's gaze swept around, and he nodded slightly, "The Yin-Yang Divine Clan lives up to its reputation. I have never seen such Yin and Yang Dao rhyme in my life!"

This was not him boasting; it was truly the case. Even the Yin and Yang Supreme Star in his Qiankun System could not compare to this place.

If he was not mistaken, this world was a Dao Realm, a Dao Realm left behind by the Yin-Yang Divine Ancestor of yesteryear.

If he could devour... ahem, he only thought about it. If he had such an idea, he would be suppressed in the next second.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable laughed heartily, raised his hand, and a stream of Yin and Yang power surged like water, forming a massive table.

On the table, delicacies, spiritual fruits, and immortal brews were dazzlingly arrayed, their fragrance overflowing, as if even the air had become sweet.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity and respect.

He gestured with his hand, then sat opposite Xu Qing. Between them, there seemed to be an invisible world, yet the table brought them closer.

Xu Qing smiled slightly and sat down calmly.

The two raised their cups and drank, the wine fragrant, chatting and laughing freely.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable, emboldened by the wine, tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist's Cultivation is profound; may I ask where you come from?"

Xu Qing put down his wine cup, his expression calm, his tone serene, "To be frank, Your Excellency, my clan was originally from this Eternal Continent, but the clan's territory could no longer meet our Cultivation needs, so we migrated to the Ancient Land of Dao some time ago. If Your Excellency goes to the Ancient Land of Dao, Xu Qing will surely sweep the mat and welcome you!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist's ability to obtain permission from the Heavenly Dao Palace is truly admirable!"

Xu Qing smiled but said nothing, though he secretly shook his head. How could he have any permission from the Heavenly Dao Palace?

The Heavenly Dao Palace was a power with a long Legacy on the Eternal Continent, known to all major forces. However, they did not know that even in the Ancient Land of Dao, the Heavenly Dao Palace was a colossal existence.

Although the System did not provide specific information about the Heavenly Dao Palace, one thing Xu Qing was very clear about—the Heavenly Sovereign, one of the three Human Race Sovereigns, came from the Heavenly Dao Palace. This alone was enough to illustrate the Heavenly Dao Palace's power.

Furthermore, after the ancient alliance, the Heavenly Dao Palace also bore the responsibility of monitoring the ancient forces in the Lower Realm who were unwilling to go to the Upper Realm.

If these forces wanted to go to the Ancient Land of Dao, they had to obtain a pass from the Heavenly Dao Palace; if it was an entire clan migrating, they needed an order for clan relocation.

After three rounds of drinks, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable suddenly became serious and said, "Fellow Daoist, this old man has a request; I wonder if it is possible?"

Xu Qing put down his wine cup, his expression calm, and said faintly, "Celestial Venerable, please speak."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable pondered for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, then slowly said, "Soon, a Prodigy from my clan wishes to go to the Upper Realm. This old man is unable to leave due to clan affairs; I wonder if Fellow Daoist could look after him?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of playfulness flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he did not immediately reply.

Seeing this, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth, "Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to help, this old man is willing to offer an Eight-Leaf Yin and Yang Divine Flower!"

Xu Qing's eyes lit up. The Yin and Yang Divine Flower was a treasure for Cultivators of the Yin and Yang Dao, divided into six grades: two-leaf, four-leaf, six-leaf, eight-leaf, ten-leaf, and twelve-leaf.

A two-leaf Yin and Yang Divine Flower was comparable to a High Grade King Dao medicine, a four-leaf to a High Grade Supreme-grade Dao medicine, a six-leaf to a Medium Grade Immortal Grade medicine, an eight-leaf to a High Grade Immortal Grade medicine, and a ten-leaf to a High Grade Immortal Grade medicine.

As for the twelve-leaf Yin and Yang Divine Flower, also known as the Innate Yin and Yang Divine Flower, it was a one-step ancestral medicine that could allow an Immortal Grade Great Dao to advance to a Dominator Grade Great Dao.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable offering an Eight-Leaf Yin and Yang Divine Flower just to protect a Prodigy within his clan seemed like a good deal, but the risks involved were not small.

All of this was greatly related to the progenitor of the Yin-Yang Divine Clan.

In fact, it wasn't that the Yin-Yang Divine Clan was unwilling to go to the Ancient Land of Dao, but rather that they couldn't leave.

Back then, their progenitor fell on the Eternal Continent, and his internal Dao Realm also remained there, unable to be moved. Therefore, the Yin-Yang Divine Clan could only stay on this continent.

However, their mortal enemies—the Five Elements Divine Clan, descendants of the Five Elements Divine Ancestor—had long since gone to the Ancient Land of Dao.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable wanted Xu Qing to look after the Prodigy within his clan because he feared retaliation from the Five Elements Divine Clan.

The overall strength of the Five Elements Divine Clan was already powerful, and having operated in the Ancient Land of Dao for countless years, their foundation was considerably stronger than that of the Yin-Yang Divine Clan.

If Xu Qing agreed, it would be tantamount to becoming an enemy of the Five Elements Divine Clan.

Seemingly sensing Xu Qing's hesitation, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable couldn't help but sigh, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He also knew that this matter was somewhat forcing others. Even an Immortal Overlord would not easily provoke the Five Elements Divine Clan, but he was truly stretched thin.

And in this generation of the clan, there were a few promising talents, especially a Son of Destiny who emerged from a branch family, who was crucial to his clan.

Therefore, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable had this idea after seeing Xu Qing.
