579: Chapter 579 Yin Yang Fusion Technique

Lin Yu did not speak.

He simply hovered there quietly, the luster of his soul body brightening imperceptibly before returning to calm.

He slowly closed his eyes, no longer making a sound.

This was Lin Yu's teaching method.

The direction had been pointed out; the rest of the path, Su Ming had to walk himself.

The third day.

Su Ming's hands began to unconsciously outline in the Void Realm.

Deep blue water-attribute Spiritual Qi condensed at the tips of his left fingers, turning into a thread of extremely fine ice; meanwhile, at the tips of his right fingers, he used a Formation to forcefully extract a wisp of violent fire-attribute Qi.

He was attempting the first variation of the "Fusion" technique.

"tonglin wood represents endless vitality, marrow-cleansing profound ice represents the extinction that freezes everything, and star-core mother iron fragments represent absolute solidity."

Su Ming was frantically calculating the Spiritual Qi ratio of these three in his mind.

The ice thread and fire Qi slowly approached each other in mid-air.

"Sizzle..."

The collision of Spiritual Qi emitted a harsh friction sound, and unstable, distorted ripples spread through the air.

"Pop!"

With another crisp sound, the Spiritual Qi completely dissipated.

Su Ming's brows were tightly locked.

"If tonglin wood is the main body, the cold air of the marrow-cleansing profound ice will instantly freeze the vitality to death.

If marrow-cleansing profound ice is the main body, the vitality of the tonglin wood cannot penetrate the ice layer to connect the Array Patterns."

Su Ming continuously rejected one plan after another in his heart.

"Who should be the main one after all?"

The fifth day.

The Spiritual Qi inside the Immortal Cave had been drained and re-gathered by Su Ming dozens of times.

The shadow in the corner could no longer endure the torment of this fluctuating cold and hot Spiritual Qi.

It stood up, shook its feathers vigorously, let out an extremely dissatisfied "chirp" at Su Ming, then flapped its wings, dove into the corner of a deeper stone room, and covered its head with its wings.

This tiny bird call, however, split open a fog in Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness like lightning.

Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze staring fixedly at the Void Realm before him.

"Birds have Revered Masters and servants, armies have generals and commanders."

He muttered to himself, his hands crossed, and ancient texts he had studied in the mortal world flashed frantically through his mind.

Four words regarding pharmacology from the "Huangdi Neijing" suddenly jumped out.

"Monarch, Minister, Assistant, Envoy!"

Su Ming's breathing became rapid.

"I understand now.

It is not about equality, nor is it about mutual suppression.

It is an absolute dictatorial structure."

He slapped his thigh suddenly, "My Foundation is the Ruoshui Art.

Water is the carrier that encompasses everything.

Water is the Monarch!"

Lin Yu's soul body paused in mid-air.

A trace of barely perceptible appreciation flashed in his illusory eyes.

He did not speak, only floated backward by half a foot, leaving Su Ming enough space for deduction.

"Water generates wood.

The vitality of tonglin wood can be infinitely amplified by relying on the nourishment of water.

Therefore, wood is the Minister, used to build that massive Spiritual Qi transmission network inside the Formation Plate."

Su Ming's speech speed became faster and faster, and the speed of his hands outlining in the Void Realm even created afterimages.

"Metal generates water.

Star-core mother iron fragments, as absolutely solid metal, their task is not to lead the Formation principles, but to act as a bottom support, continuously producing sharp metal Qi to provide feedback to the water attribute.

Therefore, metal is the Assistant!"

"But the problem is, wood generates fire.

Once tonglin wood is fully activated, its generative power is too strong, easily producing hot and dry Qi.

This fire Qi will, in turn, harm the coldness of the marrow-cleansing profound ice."

Su Ming's movements suddenly stalled.

This was a deadly logical dead loop.

If this "wood generates fire" hidden danger could not be solved, the entire Monarch-Minister-Assistant-Envoy system would collapse in an instant.

The dawn of the seventh day.

Outside Star Gazing Cliff, a faint morning bell sound came.

Su Ming sat withered on the cold jade bed, his eyes bloodshot, his hair even somewhat disheveled.

There was less than an hour left until the examination time set by Master Xuan Heng.

But that dead loop was still not solved.

Just at this moment, Su Ming's gaze unintentionally swept over the deep blue defensive light curtain on the Immortal Cave door.

That was the "Lesser Heavenly Cycle Water Rhyme Formation," the most proud defensive Formation he had improved through countless life-and-death crises.

"Solidify, Defend, Guide, Transform, Permeate..."

Su Ming looked at the five runes that constituted the core of the defense.

Suddenly, his gaze was nailed firmly next to the "Permeate" character, at a niche variation he had added casually to stabilize the Formation Foundation — the "Suppress" character.

"Suppress..."

Su Ming's pupils contracted violently.

"If I do not use water to extinguish the fire, nor use ice to freeze the fire.

But instead use the rules of the Formation to suppress the critical point where the wood attribute produces the fire attribute?"

Boom!

The last puzzle piece in the Sea of Consciousness fell perfectly into place.

Su Ming suddenly stood up from the cold jade bed, his purple Daoist robe rustling in the violent surge of Spiritual Qi.

In his bloodshot eyes, a brilliant light that people dared not look directly at erupted at this moment.

Lin Yu hovered in mid-air, the deep blue luster flowing steadily.

Half a breath later.

Lin Yu let out a slight "Hmm."

Then, he floated back into the xuantian ring without looking back, not saying another word.

But this one word was already enough for Su Ming.

Su Ming casually cast a Dust-Clearing Art, sweeping away the fatigue and dust from his body over the past few days.

He tidied his True Disciple attire, pushed open the Immortal Cave door, and walked towards the main peak of Formation Peak, facing the rising morning sun.

Formation Peak main peak, quiet room.

Master Xuan Heng was still sitting upright on that ancient meditation cushion, with a miniature Formation Plate model carved from black and white jade placed in front of him.

Without small talk, Master Xuan Heng's voice rang out directly.

"What is the core of the Yin and Yang Fusion Art?"

Su Ming stood steadily one zhang in front of Master Xuan Heng, his hands naturally hanging at his sides, his voice calm,

"Replying to Revered Master, it is Fusion, breaking it apart at the level of Law, then reshaping it with the leading Formation principles."

"Good."

Master Xuan Heng nodded slightly and threw out the second question.

"tonglin wood belongs to wood, marrow-cleansing profound ice belongs to water, and star-core mother iron fragments belong to metal.

The three attributes mutually generate and overcome each other.

The prerequisite for mutual generation is the absolutely perfect Spiritual Qi ratio during Fusion."

Master Xuan Heng's body leaned forward slightly, "In this natal formation plate, which attribute do you intend to use as the Monarch?"

Su Ming knew deeply that any Formation Master would subconsciously choose the Materials with the strongest attribute or highest Rank as the core.

But on the battlefield that Su Ming had deduced thousands of times in his mind, the strongest was not necessarily the "Monarch" who commanded the entire situation.

Su Ming pondered slightly.

His shoulders did not sway in the slightest.

"Use water as the Monarch."

The answer was resounding.

"Wood is the Minister.

Metal is the Assistant."

Master Xuan Heng's brows furrowed.
