Chapter 51 Two Yins and Two Yangs

  Yang Feng didn't know how many cycles of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift had passed, but when he was about to end his introspection after failing to communicate with Duan Jian, he discovered that the true energy of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift had grown several times stronger than the other three types of true energy. However, due to its special properties, although it had become much more powerful, it did not encroach on the territory of the other three strands of true energy.

  However, when Yang Feng stopped operating the Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi Zhen Qi, he found that this moment was exactly when the yang energy in the heaven and earth was balanced. Yang Feng had come to open up the Ren Du Er Mai at night, so he estimated that it should be early morning now, just before sunrise. Yang Feng would not waste any time cultivating, since it happened to be this time, he might as well continue cultivating.

  But what Yang Feng did not expect was that this cultivation would encounter trouble, and it was a big one. When Yang Feng operated the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Technique, he thought that after opening up the Ren and Du meridians, the true energy of these two divine techniques could also circulate in the macrocosm. However, who knew that these two energies still occupied half of Yang Feng's body each, circulating separately as before!

  This was the trouble with Yang Feng choosing to cultivate two divine abilities at the same time, because the properties of these two divine abilities were completely opposite, almost to the point of being incompatible. There was no way to reconcile them. When the two streams of true energy in Yang Feng's body were balanced, there was nothing wrong, and both streams of true energy would run in their respective territories, coexisting peacefully. However, once one side grew stronger, it would invade the other side's territory.

  It's precisely because of this that although Yang Feng had opened up the Ren and Du meridians, connecting the Heavenly and Earthly bridges, he was still unable to make the two strands of True Qi circulate in a large cycle, and could only circulate in small cycles within their respective domains. However, after all, Yang Feng was now also at the Pre-Heaven realm, so the speed of the two True Qi circulating in small cycles was still much faster than before.

  Yang Feng saw that the two strands of true energy could not complete the Grand Cycle, so he didn't force it anymore. After all, he had chosen to cultivate both divine techniques at the same time, so he couldn't blame others for the current situation. However, Yang Feng still firmly believed that his original choice was correct, and although it wasn't visible now, there would eventually be a day when his idea would be proven right.

  After activating the two techniques, Yang Feng once again sank his mind into his own body and quickly performed an internal scan. He saw that the true energy of the Nine Yin Scripture on the left side of his body and the true energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill on the right side were circulating at a speed several times faster than before, continuously absorbing the yang energy and yin energy from the heavens and earth. Seeing this situation finally gave Yang Feng some comfort.

  In the human body's Qijing Bamai, it is composed of 108 regular meridians, including 36 large meridians (including 12 small meridians) and 72 hidden meridians. However, only the 36 large meridians can be seen through introspection, while the other 72 hidden meridians are hidden in the human body and cannot be perceived until a certain level is reached.

  However, when the true qi is circulating, there will still be true qi circulating in the 72 hidden vessels. In this way, the 108 vessels are exactly the number of Tian Gan Di Jue (Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch), and the large cycle of the 36 main vessels and the 72 hidden vessels forms a complete circuit that is the route that the true qi should pass through when a person reaches the pre-heaven realm.

  However, Yang Feng is now cultivating both the Nine Yin Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill at the same time. The two types of true energy each occupy half of Yang Feng's meridians, circulating in small cycles within their respective territories. This would normally not lead to the emergence of the Tian Gan Di Jue Great Heavenly Cycle, but through his inner vision, Yang Feng unexpectedly discovered a very different place.

  Because the two true airs each occupied half of Yang Feng's meridians, neither could enter the other's territory, so they could only circulate in their own territories. However, Yang Feng saw that among the 36 major meridians, the Nine Yin True Classic occupied 18 meridians, with small circulation occurring in each one, while the Nine Yang Divine Skill occupied the remaining half of the major meridians, also circulating in each one.

  However, he saw that the thirty-six small cycles formed a "Yin Yang Tian Gang Array", and the two strands of true energy were circulating according to this array. Seeing this situation, Yang Feng speculated that perhaps the same thing would happen in the seventy-two hidden pulses, but the small cycle circulation of the seventy-two hidden pulses should be composed of a "Yin Yang Di Sha Array".

  This way, the yin-yang heavenly net and the yin-yang earthly killing net have perfectly formed a "yin-yang heavenly net earthly killing net". This formation is one that Yang Feng has seen in his memories before. Now seeing the situation of the meridians within his own body coincidentally matching this very situation, it makes Yang Feng feel extremely surprised and unexpected.

  Yang Feng didn't know why the two streams of true energy would form this yin-yang heaven-earth killing array to operate, but Yang Feng saw that after such a combination, although the two streams of true energy were still circulating in small cycles, the growth rate of true energy was not much slower than the heaven-earth killing large cycle.

  Although it is not clear why there was such a change, Yang Feng did not care at all, because this change had great benefits for himself, allowing his true energy to grow very quickly. After only a few cycles of the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Skills, the two strands of true energy had already grown much stronger, and were still rapidly growing with the increase in true energy!

  Seeing this situation, Yang Feng became even more excited, because at this rate of growth, he would soon be able to reach the realm of Er Yin Er Yang! The Nine Yin Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill each increase in power by a geometric multiple with each advancement in realm, and upon reaching the Er Yin Er Yang realm, one can also achieve the ability to project true energy externally, killing enemies without being seen!

  So when Yang Feng saw the rapid growth of true energy in both the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Technique, he was both tense and excited. Because of the relationship between cultivating two divine techniques at the same time, Yang Feng's breakthroughs had been very slow. If Yang Feng had cultivated only one divine technique with his talent, he would have already reached the second stage of either yin or yang a long time ago. Now that he finally had the opportunity to break through, how could Yang Feng not be excited?

  Yang Feng suppressed his excited mood and patiently watched the growth of the true energy of the Nine Yin Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill. His heart was tense with anxiety, because when the Nine Yin Scripture and the Nine Yang Divine Skill break through their boundaries, they must do so in one swift motion. They cannot afford to miss this opportunity and wait for the next chance to break through, because only the first breakthrough is the easiest. If you fail to succeed on your first try, then by the time the next opportunity comes around, you will have to put in a hundred times more effort than before.

  It's precisely because of this that Yang Feng is so tense, afraid that something will go wrong in the process. But as the saying goes, "what you fear comes to pass", and sure enough, problems arise. Due to the two strands of true energy circulating at a speed several times faster than before, the absorption of yin and yang energies from heaven and earth also accelerated greatly. As a result, the surrounding yin-yang energies floating around Yang Feng were quickly absorbed!

  Without the supply of yin and yang energy, there is no raw material for transforming the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Work true energy. Insufficient true energy naturally cannot let Yang Feng break through to the realm of Er Yin Er Yang. Seeing this situation, Yang Feng sighed, his heart can only admit that he was unlucky. This time it didn't work out, next time he will have to pay more effort to break through.

  Just as Yang Feng was about to give up, suddenly a surge of extremely pure yin and yang energy burst out from the 365 major acupoints on his body, joining the circulation of the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, helping Yang Feng break through to the realm of Double Yin and Double Yang.

  Yang Feng only felt his body surging with intense pain, as if the meridians throughout his entire body were about to burst. Large drops of sweat fell from Yang Feng's forehead. This was due to the true energy that had increased exponentially after breaking through to the Second Yin and Second Yang realm, expanding Yang Feng's meridians. Yang Feng also knew he had to endure it; only by holding on could he truly reach the Second Yin and Second Yang realm!

  After an unknown period of time, Yang Feng had been numbed by that heart-wrenching pain when suddenly the pain disappeared. Through his inner vision, Yang Feng discovered that his meridians had expanded a lot and became even more resilient, while his dantian zifu also expanded a lot without becoming more congested due to the increase in true energy.

  Having reached the realm of two yin and two yang, Yang Feng felt an even stronger power within his body, which made him very happy. However, at this moment, he had a question: why did his acupoints have such thick and pure yin and yang energy? Was it originally there or was it absorbed? Why didn't he know at all?

  Although there were many doubts, Yang Feng couldn't figure it out and simply stopped caring. Now he had finally broken through to the Xiantian realm and even reached the second stage of Yin and Yang. This meant that he could cultivate even more powerful martial arts. And once he fully adapted to his current body's strength and cultivated those martial arts, it would be time for him to return to Huaxia!
