Chapter 1490 Yin and Yang Symbiosis
At this moment, the residual power of the thunder still lingered in the sky above the area where Su Fan activated the "Taixiao Transformation Chaos Divine Thunder".

Countless ninth-tier beast kings from the "Mountain and Sea Realm" are gathering here, drawn by this terrifying aura.

More than ten ninth-tier beast kings, their bodies so large they blotted out the sky, stood together at the edge of the bottomless pit, their large, copper-bell-sized eyes surprisingly showing a hint of solemnity.

The difficulty of cultivating a beast that can reach the ninth-tier Beast King position far exceeds that of a human cultivator breaking through to the Integration Realm.

It is important to know that the number of alien beasts in the "Mountain and Sea Realm" is terrifyingly large. Those who can fight their way out from hundreds of millions of their kind are all top-level powerhouses who have been tempered in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

To put it bluntly, the survival rules for cultivators of all races in the cultivation world are as cruel as "raising Gu poison."

However, the competition among the demon race, the monster race, and the insect race is more than a hundred times more intense than that among the human race.

It is precisely for this reason that the ninth-order beast kings of the "Mountain and Sea Realm" have a vision and knowledge that are far beyond those of ordinary cultivators.

Looking at the scorched earth crushed by the "Taixiao Transformation Chaos Divine Thunder", they instantly understood the key.

The power of the Dao technique used by that human cultivator had already broken through the constraints of this realm, reaching an unprecedented level.

After witnessing the scene firsthand, countless ninth-tier beast kings felt a chill run down their spines.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this technique alone, that human cultivator is invincible in the current realm and can easily crush all beings of the same level.

What the hell is the point of fighting?

The numerous ninth-tier beast kings of the "Mountain and Sea Realm" lingered here for a while before transforming into streaks of light and scattering away.

Only a hundred or so top beast kings remained guarding the giant pit, whispering and plotting for a long time before quietly leaving with complicated expressions.

At this time, discussions about Su Fan were already rampant, with various voices emerging one after another, among which sarcasm and ridicule accounted for the majority.

But he was completely unaware of this and continued to stay in seclusion, spending his days in his personal secret realm, focusing on his cultivation.

As dusk began to fall, Su Fan sat cross-legged by the pool beside the thatched hut, his eyes closed, his mind completely absorbed in pondering the "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder".

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly.

A full year has passed since the end of the last great battle, but his understanding of this thunder technique remains stagnant, without any clue.

Just as he was leaning on the bluestone to get up, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to pause.

Su Fan immediately sat back down cross-legged, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to test that new idea that had just flashed into his mind.

This time, he did not rush to activate the yang energy in his body, but instead slowly injected spiritual power into the thunder mark in his palm.

He attempted to use the chaotic lightning power within the mark to first envelop the restless evil spirit energy within his body, reducing its repulsion of yang energy.

As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the lightning seal on his fingertips gradually lit up with a pale purple light, and wisps of chaotic lightning energy overflowed like a light veil, gently enveloping the wandering evil spirits.

Surprisingly, this attempt actually worked.

The evil energy calmed down considerably and no longer surged wildly through the meridians as it had before.

"It's working..."

Su Fan was overjoyed and immediately seized the opportunity to use his divine sense to draw out an even weaker wisp of yang energy.

When this wisp of warm yang energy approached his palm, the evil spirit energy enveloped by chaotic lightning did not immediately erupt into conflict; it only stirred slightly before returning to calm.

Su Fan held his breath and carefully controlled his yang energy, slowly moving closer to the thunder seal, trying to integrate it into the chaotic thunder power.

But just as the yang energy was about to touch the thunder seal, an unexpected event occurred without warning.

The wisp of yang energy seemed to be forcibly pulled by some force, suddenly breaking free from Su Fan's divine sense control, and crashing straight into the chaotic lightning power within the lightning seal.

"Oops……"

Su Fan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he was too late.

"boom……"

A subtle yet muffled explosion erupted in the palm of his hand, as chaotic lightning, evil spirit energy, and yang energy collided suddenly.

The shockwave caused Su Fan to lean back violently, and his entire arm instantly lost sensation.

He looked down and saw that the lightning mark on his palm had dimmed considerably.

The previously stable pale purple light began to flicker, and the cuff had been torn open with a gruesome gash by the earlier explosion.

Su Fan shook his head with a wry smile and rubbed his numb arm.

"It seems that making these three forces coexist peacefully is more difficult than I imagined..."

Despite this, there was no sign of discouragement in his eyes; instead, a hint of excitement flashed across them.

That brief contact just now gave him a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

If we can stabilize the evil spirits with the power of chaotic lightning, we might actually find a way to merge them with yang energy.

After such a long period of exploration, he has finally found a new breakthrough.

As night deepened, Su Fan remained seated as before on the bluestone by the pool.

The lightning mark on his fingertips flickered, sometimes with a faint red yang energy flashing by, and sometimes with a restless gray-black evil spirit energy stirring within.

Each attempt was accompanied by excruciating pain and impact, but it also brought him one step closer to the core secret of the "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder".

Over the next few days, all of Su Fan's attempts ended in failure. The burn marks on his palms had just faded from their pale red when new numbness appeared, but he never gave up.

It wasn't until the afternoon of that day, when Su Fan was rubbing his aching wrists, that he temporarily stopped trying to figure out the "Taiyi Thunder".

He discovered that the more eager he was to achieve quick results, the more restless the three forces within him became.

Perhaps it would be better to put it aside for now, find a quiet place in the secret realm to relax, and maybe that would give you a different perspective.

Although his personal secret realm was not large, it contained many rare spiritual plants that he had collected in his early years.

Su Fan walked slowly along the path beside the pool, his gaze sweeping over the clusters of spiritual herbs on the bank, finally settling on a strange flower half-submerged in the water.

That is the "Yin-Yang Symbiotic Lotus". Half of its petals are warm red, as hot as burning charcoal, while the other half is cold white, as if covered with a thousand-year-old frost.

What's even more remarkable is that its roots intertwine and entwine in the water, allowing two completely opposite properties to coexist harmoniously on the same plant.

"Yin and Yang are inherently contradictory, yet they can grow so abundantly..."

Su Fan crouched down and gently touched the petals with his fingertips.

The warm red petals exude a gentle yang energy, while the cold white petals emanate a chilling yin energy.

The two extreme forces converge at the flower stem, but instead of annihilating each other, they form a circulating airflow that continuously nourishes the entire lotus plant.

He suddenly recalled the annotation in the ancient book, "When life reaches its extreme, it perishes; when it perishes, it is reborn again," and a thought suddenly struck him.

"Have I been wrong all along...?"

Balance is not about forcibly suppressing, but about allowing forces to find a cyclical point of mutual nourishment, like a lotus flower.

He stared at the entwined patterns of the lotus roots in the water and suddenly noticed that those intertwined lines were somewhat similar to the golden spiritual patterns on the surface of the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal." Both used complex interwoven forms to firmly lock the two forces together, while leaving tiny channels at the intersection for the forces to flow slowly.

Su Fan suddenly stood up and quickly returned to the blue stone by the pool, where he sat cross-legged.

He opened his palm and stared at the lightning mark, having previously only thought of using the chaotic lightning power to envelop the evil spirit energy.

However, I have never tried to make the three forces "intertwine and flow" like a lotus stem. Perhaps the spiritual patterns of the Thunder Seal originally contained a channel for regulating Yin and Yang.

This time, Su Fan did not rush to activate the Yang energy. Instead, he focused his divine sense into the thunder mark in his palm and carefully examined the spiritual pattern structure at its core.

Previously, he only focused on the function of the spirit patterns storing lightning. Now, when he calmed down, he realized that the golden patterns were not chaotic, but rather intertwined in layers in the form of a "Tai Chi spiral".

At the very core of the mark lies an extremely subtle "twin pattern," with one red and one white line, like the petals of a "yin-yang symbiotic lotus." However, it is usually covered by chaotic lightning and has never been seen.

"This is it..."

Su Fan was startled and cautiously touched the "twin pattern" with his divine sense.

The next second, two faint suction forces instantly came from my fingertips.

One force actively drew upon the evil energy within him, while the other spontaneously drew closer to the yang energy within the secret realm.

He then realized that the "twin patterns" were the key to the "evil-suppressing thunder seal" in regulating yin and yang, but it required a specific force to activate them.

Su Fan took a deep breath and, following the winding trajectory of the roots of the "Yin-Yang Symbiotic Lotus," used his divine sense to guide the chaotic lightning power, allowing it to flow slowly along the spiral path of the "Twin Patterns."

The pale purple chaotic lightning power flowed like water, illuminating the red and white patterns of the "Twin Marks" one by one. The originally dim lightning seal core gradually revealed a soft halo.

Immediately afterwards, he deliberately released a wisp of evil spirit energy, allowing it to seep into the white patterns.

This time, the evil spirits did not stir at all; instead, they seemed to have found a home and flowed quietly within the white patterns.

"It's done..."

Su Fanqiang suppressed his excitement and used his divine sense to guide a wisp of yang energy, allowing it to slowly flow into the red patterns.

The moment the pale red yang energy touched the patterns, it subtly resonated with the evil spirit energy within the white patterns.

The two forces traveled towards each other along the spiral trajectory of the "twin patterns," gently colliding at the point where the patterns intersected.

There was no explosion, nor was there any annihilation.

Instead, they merged into a faint golden light, which was steadily enveloped in the "twin patterns" by the chaotic lightning power.

Su Fan tried to activate his spiritual power, and the golden light in the "Twin Marks" instantly spread, distributing the three powers evenly within the Thunder Seal.

He activated the basic runes of "Taiyi Thunder" again, and this time, the runes took shape steadily in his palm.

The crimson lightning arc carried a faint gray-black evil aura, yet there was no conflict between them. On the contrary, it possessed a more restrained and imposing power than the "Taiyi Lightning" recorded in ancient texts.

Su Fan raised his hand and flicked it lightly at the pool of water. A mini lightning core, which had fused three powers, shot out and landed on the water's surface.

Without a violent explosion, the lightning core sank into the water and transformed into concentric red and white ripples, simultaneously drawing in both yin and yang energies to form a small, circulating vortex.

This is precisely the effect of "yin and yang coexisting".

He looked down at the three-colored light flowing in his palm, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his lips.

The key to balance is not to forcefully suppress, but to use the "twin patterns" of the Thunder Seal to allow the three forces to nourish each other like spiritual plants.

All the previous failures were simply because we hadn't found this hidden "circulation channel".

Now that the opportunity has presented itself, all that remains is repeated practice to truly master the "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder".

The setting sun shone through the sky above the secret realm, casting a long shadow on Su Fan's seated figure.

The lightning mark on the fingertip shone brighter, and the three powers flowed slowly within the "twin patterns," resembling a dynamic tai chi diagram.

Until the day he mastered the "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder", the sky above his personal secret realm was just beginning to lighten.

As the crimson lightning arc at Su Fan's fingertips completely merged with the gray-black evil energy, transforming into a restrained yet majestic lightning core under the guidance of the "Twin Marks," the lightning mark on his palm suddenly erupted with an unprecedented burst of dazzling light.

The interplay of pale purple, crimson, and golden light created a fragmented ancient rune pattern on the surface of the Thunder Seal.

Although it only flashed for a moment, it shook Su Fan's mind and left him unable to calm down for a long time.

"It seems the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal' holds secrets I haven't yet discovered..."

Su Fan stared at the lightning mark on his palm that was gradually fading away, his heart filled with doubt.

Previously, he only thought of the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" as a container for storing thunder power and inscribing spells, but just now, he saw that rune diagram.

It clearly exudes a sense of weight far beyond that of a "container," as if it contains a complete ancient thunder path inheritance.

From that day on, Su Fan combined the polishing of "Taiyi Thunder" with the study of Thunder Seals.

Whenever he activated the "Taiyi Thunder", he would deliberately slow down the pace, allowing his divine sense to closely follow the flow of the three forces within the "Twin Patterns".

In the first few days, he only discovered that the Thunder Seal's enhancement of "Taiyi Thunder" far exceeded that of "Taixiao Thunder".

While both are instantaneous, the power of "Taiyi Thunder" can be adjusted at will, and it can also absorb the yang energy in the surrounding environment through the power of the thunder seal, allowing the thunder core to maintain its peak state without worrying about the spiritual energy being consumed too quickly.

Half a month later, when Su Fan attempted to simultaneously inscribe "Taiyi Thunder" and "Taixiao Thunder" into the Thunder Seal, an even greater accident occurred.

As the trajectories of the two ancient forbidden thunder techniques lit up simultaneously on both sides of the "Twin Marks," a strong suction force suddenly emanated from the core of the Thunder Seal, drawing away all the chaotic thunder power, evil spirit energy, and yang energy from the world within his body.

Su Fan was startled and was about to withdraw his power when he saw the golden spirit patterns on the surface of the Thunder Seal suddenly "come alive".

They moved swiftly as if they were alive, weaving the trajectories of the two lightning spells into a complete "symbiotic diagram of lightning paths".

The pale purple "Taixiao Thunder" trajectory and the crimson "Taiyi Thunder" trajectory converge at the "Twin Pattern" to form a cyclical Taiji pattern.

Su Fan frowned immediately, his heart filled with shock.

His intuition told him that the two ancient forbidden thunder techniques, "Taixiao Transformation Chaos Divine Thunder" and "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Extreme Life Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder," were definitely related to the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal."

Thinking of this, Su Fan took out the jade slip given to him by the God of Hongshang from his storage ring, placed it on his forehead, and slowly infused it with his divine sense.

But after a moment, he put the jade slip down, a look of regret on his face.

This incomplete ancient thunder magic manual only records two forbidden techniques: "Taixiao Transformation Chaos Divine Thunder" and "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Extreme Life Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder".

The remaining ancient forbidden techniques of thunder have long since become incomplete and cannot be restored due to the erosion of time.

"If we can collect all the ancient forbidden techniques of thunder in this jade slip, we might be able to obtain the key to unlock the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal'..."

Once he fully comprehends the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal," he may even be able to glimpse a trace of the mysteries of the Thunder Dao's origin, directly pointing to the core of the Great Dao.

Unfortunately, the remaining ancient forbidden techniques of thunder magic in this jade slip cannot be restored.

He took a deep breath and put the jade slip back into his storage ring.

As the sun sets, the "Yin-Yang Symbiotic Lotus" in the secret realm sways gently in the afterglow, making the red and white colors on its petals even more vivid.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on a blue stone by the pool, his fingertips shimmering with tri-colored light, which mingled with the sunset on the horizon, creating a tranquil and mysterious scene.
