65: Taiyin and Taiyang!

Northern Plains, deep within the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.

The biting chill seemed capable of freezing the Soul; this was a forbidden zone for life.

However, in an inconspicuous ice crevice, a young boy of about twelve or thirteen years old was curled up.

His clothes were ragged, his lips were purple from the cold, and his body trembled uncontrollably. But strangely, a faint yet extremely stubborn aura of warmth always lingered around his heart, protecting his heart pulse from fading.

Yang Yan!

He didn't know why he was here; he only vaguely remembered being brought to this ice plain with a younger sister by an irresistible force, and then getting separated.

This trace of warmth in his chest was his only conviction for finding his sister and for staying alive.

"Brother... Xi'er..."

He murmured unconsciously in his coma.

Meanwhile, at the edge of a scorching Earth Fire Vein in another part of the ice cave, a Little Girl of the same age, whose face was seventy percent similar to Yang Yan's, was gritting her teeth, resisting the erosion of the earth fire's toxic gas.

Her name was Moon Radiance.

She emitted a cold aura that was completely out of place in this scorching environment, but under the constant burning of the earth fire, this coldness became increasingly pure and condensed, like cold iron tempered a thousand times.

Her eyes were stubborn and clear, and she was also searching for her lost older brother.

They were twin siblings with naturally unique Physiques. Yang Yan possessed a faint "Solar Essence," while Moon Radiance contained a wisp of Innate "Lunar Origin."

It was precisely these Physiques, which both complemented and countered each other while being interdependent, that triggered some dark taboo, leading to their childhood disaster and being stranded here. In the extreme cold and extreme heat, they instinctively tempered their own Origins, struggling bitterly to survive.

On this day, a wisp of Lin Dao's Divine Thought, like an invisible wind, swept across the Northern Plains, searching for a fated connection that harmonized with the Origins of the Lunar and Solar Divine Bodies.

When his Divine Thought swept past the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave and the Earth Fire Vein, the unyielding warmth in Yang Yan's heart and the coldness around Moon Radiance, tempered by the earth fire, were like beacons in the dark night, instantly attracting his attention.

"Hmm? Such a coincidence? Born of Yin and Yang, countering and complementing each other, tempered but not extinguished in a desperate situation... These two are destined to inherit the Dao of Lunar and Solar."

With a thought from Lin Dao, his true body had already crossed endless space and appeared above the Northern Plains.

He first came to the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, his gaze piercing through ten thousand feet of profound ice to see the boy struggling on the edge of life and death, yet surviving tenaciously by relying on a wisp of Solar Essence.

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of gentle Chaos Qi entered Yang Yan's body, instantly dispelling the accumulated cold within him, repairing his damaged Foundation, and plunging him into a deep sleep and nourishment.

Subsequently, he came to the Earth Fire Vein and looked at the stubborn Little Girl who was tempering her Lunar Origin in the earth fire's toxic gas.

He similarly bestowed a wisp of Chaos Qi, protecting her heart pulse and smoothing out the burns within her body, allowing her to catch her breath.

"Wake up."

A gentle yet supremely majestic voice sounded simultaneously in the minds of Yang Yan and Moon Radiance.

The two opened their eyes almost at the same time.

Yang Yan found that he was no longer cold, and his body was filled with a long-lost warmth.

Moon Radiance felt that the pain burning her Soul had disappeared, and the cold power within her body had become gentle and powerful.

They saw each other!

Right there in the air nearby, beside a green-robed Immortal!

"Brother!"

"Xi'er!"

It took a long time before they remembered the Immortal beside them. They hurriedly let go of each other and looked at Lin Dao with some constraint and awe.

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving our lives!"

The siblings knelt and bowed together, their voices choked with sobbing and sincere gratitude.

Lin Dao looked at the siblings, who still maintained a pure Heart-Nature and tenacious will in a desperate situation, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

He could feel that although the Lunar and Solar Origins within them were weak, they were incredibly pure. Even more rare was that resilience that remained unyielding despite enduring hardships.

"I am the Old Ancestor of the Lin Clan, Lin Dao."

Lin Dao spoke, "You two have special natural Physiques and are fated with me. Are you willing to join my Lin Clan, accept my lineage, and inherit the Divine Power of the Lunar and Solar?"

Yang Yan and Moon Radiance glanced at each other, both seeing shock, excitement, and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Although they were young, they also vaguely knew their Physiques were extraordinary, yet they had suffered greatly because of it.

Now, such a powerful Immortal was actually willing to take them in and pass on power to them?

"We are willing! We are willing!"

Yang Yan tightly held his sister's hand and spoke excitedly, his eyes filled with longing.

Moon Radiance also nodded vigorously, her clear eyes shimmering with the light of hope.

"Good."

Lin Dao nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve, he brought the siblings back to the Lin Clan's main residence.

He did not immediately bestow the Divine Body Origins, but first had them settle down within the clan, cared for by Acting Clan Head personally, to familiarize themselves with the Lin Clan environment, regulate their bodies, read classics, and solidify their Foundations.

Meanwhile, he also secretly observed the Heart-Nature of the two.

Over several months, Yang Yan's personality was cheerful and resilient, with a natural affinity for fire and light-type techniques; he practiced hard and was extremely protective of his sister.

Moon Radiance's personality was quiet and introverted, with a delicate mind; she was extremely quick to comprehend ice and moon-light type powers. Though she appeared delicate on the outside, her heart was very strong.

The siblings had a very deep bond and supported each other, winning the favor of many Lin Clan disciples.

Lin Dao knew the time had come.

On this day, he summoned Yang Yan and Moon Radiance to the ancestral hall's Quiet Room.

"Your Foundations are solid, your Heart-Natures are pure, and your sibling bond is deep, which perfectly aligns with the Dao of Yin and Yang complementing each other."

Lin Dao looked at them, and two clusters of light appeared in his hands.

One cluster was like a brilliant sun, supremely Yang and firm, emitting an aura that purified and nourished all things; the other was like a cold moon, supremely Yin and soft, containing the power to freeze time and space and quiet all things.

These were the Lunar Divine Body Origin and the Solar Divine Body Origin!

Feeling the Origin power in those two clusters of light—which were of the same source as their own but infinitely more vast—Yang Yan and Moon Radiance's bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was a longing and resonance from the depths of their Bloodline.

"These are the Lunar and Solar Divine Body Origins, and I bestow them upon you today. The Fusion process may be painful; you must keep a firm grip on your mind, support each other, guide the Origins into your bodies, and reshape your divine forms!"

As Lin Dao's voice fell, the two Divine Body Origins turned into flowing light and instantly merged into the bodies of Yang Yan and Moon Radiance!

"Ah!"

Both of them let out a muffled groan at the same time, and their bodies began to tremble violently!

Yang Yan's entire body instantly turned bright red, as if he had transformed into a humanoid sun. Terrifying high temperatures radiated out, even causing the space in the Quiet Room to begin to distort!

He felt every inch of his flesh, bone, and Meridians being torn apart and incinerated, then forcibly reshaped by that supreme Yang Origin. The pain was excruciating!

Moon Radiance was covered by a thick layer of profound ice, with cold air overflowing, as if the Quiet Room had transformed into an absolute-zero ice cellar!

Her Divine Soul seemed as if it were about to be frozen, her consciousness drifting in the cold and darkness, similarly experiencing the pain of reshaping her Physical Body and Soul!

But the siblings kept Lin Dao's instructions firmly in mind. Despite the extreme pain, they gritted their teeth and did not give up.

They even relied on their mental connection to strive to guide the violent Origin power within them. Yang Yan's supreme Yang power sent a wisp of warmth to protect Moon Radiance's mind, while Moon Radiance's supreme Yin power sent a wisp of coolness to soothe Yang Yan's scorching pain.

Yin and Yang circulated, complementing and generating each other!

Gradually, the red light around Yang Yan began to pull inward, transforming into pure golden divine flames, condensing into a small Solar Divine Mark on his forehead!

The profound ice on Moon Radiance's body also gradually melted, turning into cold moonlight divine radiance, and a silver crescent Lunar Divine Mark appeared on her forehead!

The aura of the two began to climb at a terrifying speed!

Acquired, Innate, Spirit Sea, Heaven-Reaching... Life Soul Realm!

Finally, at the moment the Divine Body Origins were completely fused, both broke through to the first level of the Life Soul Realm!

Furthermore, the thickness of their Foundations far exceeded those of the same level!

Lunar Divine Body and Solar Divine Body, complete!

At the very moment the two supreme Divine Bodies were simultaneously achieved—

[Ding! Personal Disciples Yang Yan and Moon Radiance have successfully fused the Lunar and Solar Divine Body Origins! Triggered the supreme feedback of Yin and Yang complementing each other and the opening of Primal Chaos!]

[Ding! The feedback energy has triggered the resonance of the Host's Primordial Divine Demon Body!]

[Ding! Host's cultivation has increased to—Samsara Realm Level 2!]

[Ding! The Primordial Divine Demon Body has broken through its Bottleneck and stepped into—the stage of Minor Achievement!]

Boom—!!!

A torrent of feedback, far more majestic, ancient, and closer to the Origin of power than the previous promotion to Samsara, mixed with that trace of the opening of Primal Chaos derived from the blending of Lunar and Solar, surged into Lin Dao's body!

His cultivation instantly broke through the barrier, stepping into the second level of the Samsara Realm!

His understanding of the Reincarnation Law became even more profound!

And an even more startling change occurred in his Physical Body!

Crackle!

It was as if hundreds of millions of worlds were being opened and reorganized within his body!

The dark-gold divine demon runes were no longer hidden beneath his skin but were completely manifested, imprinted on his bones, flesh, and even deep within his Divine Soul!

His body seemed to have become a carrier for the Universe, with every single cell containing the terrifying power to tear apart stars and destroy Laws!

Primordial Divine Demon Body, Minor Achievement!

At this moment, Lin Dao felt his power had undergone a qualitative leap!

Although his Realm was only the second level of the Samsara Realm, with the Minor Achievement of the Primordial Divine Demon Body, he felt his combat strength could already rival or even surpass an ordinary—Xiaoyao Realm!

That was a grand feeling of truly transcending the constraints of this world and preliminarily touching the Laws of the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms!

With a slight thought, he seemed able to draw upon the Star Power of the heavens, tread upon Reincarnation, and shatter all Laws with a fist!

He slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze was no longer a simple Chaos color, but had turned into a deeper dark-gold vortex, as if containing scenes of divine demons fighting and the creation of the world!

He looked at Yang Yan and Moon Radiance before him, who had just completed their transformation and whose auras had stabilized.

The siblings also felt the increasingly unfathomable aura of their Revered Master, which inspired awe and submission. They hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Revered Master, for your fulfillment!"

Lin Dao nodded slightly, his voice carrying a hint of satisfaction and majesty: "Now that you have achieved your Divine Bodies, you are the sixth and seventh Saints of my Lin Clan. I hope you two do not fail this destiny, diligently cultivate the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, and protect the Lin Clan."

"Yes! Revered Master!"

The Lin Clan had added two more Saints who possessed supreme Divine Bodies!
