The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 31 Yin and Yang as One
In the endless mountains of the Black and White Academy.

On the top of a small hill, a young man in a black robe was looking at the sparkling lake in front of him and stretching lazily.

When Ji Xiaoshan was choosing a cave, he immediately discovered a small lake on the hillside of the mountain and he liked the place very much.

Facing the sea with spring flowers blooming is somewhat difficult to realize at this stage. With his current strength as a Purple Mansion cultivator, building a cave by the sea to live in would make his own safety more or less difficult to guarantee.

But in the Black and White Academy, this problem does not exist. It is possible to place the cave by the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

There were only a few hundred disciples in the Black and White Academy, and in this endless residential area on the mountain, uninhabited caves could be seen everywhere.

The cave built on this mountain is an extremely elegant courtyard, located by the lake. The breeze makes the waves ripple. The courtyard is not big, but it is his ideal place to live.

After Ji Xiaoshan had tidied up the cave where he lived, he moved out a bamboo chair, placed it under a tree by the lake, and felt the lake breeze brushing against his cheeks.

"What a pleasant day!" Ji Xiaoshan picked up the fruit wine beside the bamboo chair and drank it with big gulps.

When he came to this cave, he had already refined the core of the formation in the mountain.

Every mountain where the disciples live has a separate cave formation. If they do not want to be affected by the disturbances of the outside world during their retreat, they can activate the formation through the refined cave center, which can not only provide a layer of protection, but also bring peace and tranquility.

"The fewer people there are in a sect, the more preferential treatment they can give to their disciples. No wonder so many chosen ones flock to those big tribes, big forces, and big sects!" Ji Xiaoshan thought of the countless cultivators who wanted to enroll in the Black and White Academy during the day. He had seen with his own eyes how eager those people were to enroll in the Black and White Academy.

"In this life, I keep moving forward without stopping. Isn't what I seek just to live a comfortable and leisurely life like this, and to seek great freedom and ease?" Ji Xiaoshan whispered to himself.

“Although it’s only a small step forward at the moment!”

"Let's call this mountain and this peak the Xiaoyao Zizai Peak. Sitting leisurely under the shade of trees by the lake, watching the clouds rise and fall, is also a small way to be free and at ease."

The young man in black robe who was half lying on the bamboo chair had an idea, and he carved a line of words on the stone tablet at the center of the mountain formation.

"Xiaoyao Zizai Peak!"

The sect's grand ceremony would have to wait for several days. After all the matters concerning the cave were settled, Ji Xiaoshan had the idea of ​​going out to observe the black and white paintings in the Black and White Academy.

The black and white diagram perfectly integrates countless paths with each other, and has the effect of helping people realize the truth. However, his "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" has been stuck at the bottleneck of the sixth level, and he can't break through that slight obstacle.

The Star Palace in the Water Palace is also a place that can help cultivators realize the Tao. By completely condensing and separating the paths, it can easily help people realize the Tao. Ji Xiaoshan has been coveting this for a long time.

"Brother Wan, I want to go and observe the black and white pictures in the academy, would you like to go together?" Ji Xiaoshan sent a voice message to Wan Nianfeng.

"it is good!"

After a moment, a stream of light flew over from the distant mountain. Ji Xiaoshan knew it was Wan Nianfeng who came without looking up.

"Brother Wan, let's go!"

Seeing the stream of light approaching from afar, Ji Xiaoshan took out a huge magic sailboat and called Wan Nianfeng to get on board. According to the instructions in the booklet given by Taoist Wu Xiu, he found the right direction and steered the magic weapon towards the black and white picture.

……

Inside the Black and White Academy, a magical sailing vessel, piloted by a young man in a black robe, arrived at a vast area.

"That's the black and white picture below, right? This black and white picture created between heaven and earth is truly like the work of nature." Ji Xiaoshan looked down at the tall stone wall standing in the vast area, marveling at the power of the world.

"It's nothing that a piece of heaven and earth can always give birth to all kinds of wonders over the endless years. But it is extremely rare in the entire Daxia world to give birth to a treasure like this black and white picture." Wan Nianfeng was also seeing this black and white picture for the first time and was full of amazement.

Ji Xiaoshan put away his magic weapon, and then the two of them fell from the sky.

"Black and white picture."

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the stone wall in front of him, which was made of unknown material. It was emitting a black and shiny light, and countless black and white lines were densely outlined and carved on it.

One black, one white.

The lines of the two colors are intertwined and entangled with each other, yet they form an incredibly clever whole, like a huge black and white millstone.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the miracle of the birth of the world. The black and white colors were like darkness and light, switching and interweaving with each other.

Ji Xiaoshan felt a great and mysterious breath coming at him just by looking at the small stone wall in front of him. It was the opposition and interweaving between yin and yang, the harmony and integration between water and fire, and the alternation between day and night.

……

All things carry the yin and embrace the yang. Since the birth of the world, all things in the world have had two sides, "black" and "white". Seeing these intersecting lines, Ji Xiaoshan felt countless insights emerge in his mind.

He seemed to understand the mystery of the transformation and coordination of yin and yang. Ji Xiaoshan quietly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground. Countless insights in his mind surged like a spring, filling his heart in an instant.

He continued to analyze, gradually going deeper, and completely immersed in the understanding of Tao.

"All things carry Yin and embrace Yang. Yin and Yang can depend on each other, oppose each other, and transform into each other."

Ji Xiaoshan was realizing that although he knew about the changes of yin and yang, that cathode produces yang and anode produces yin, it was ultimately just his imagination, like a attic in the air, there was always a layer between them, and it was not as intuitive as seeing the real thing in person.

Today, even just looking at the lines formed by the black and white picture, I can gain a lot of insights.

"Yin and Yang." Ji Xiaoshan murmured softly, "Only when Yin and Yang transform can they coexist endlessly."

The young man sitting cross-legged in front of the black and white picture suddenly understood.

On the smooth back behind him, the lunar divine pattern and the solar divine pattern suddenly appeared, and a golden pattern and a silver-white pattern shone brightly through the boy's black clothes.

A distant place separated by who knows how many layers of space.

Deep in the void, two huge stars sensed the two glowing divine patterns on the young man’s back outside the distant space.

In an instant, the lunar star and the solar star sent down a ray of lunar true water and solar true fire, crossing the endless void and arriving in front of the black and white picture.

Beside Ji Xiaoshan, a wisp of real water and real fire with astonishing aura quietly emerged.

"This is... a breakthrough to the seventh level of the Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu!" Upon seeing this, Wan Nian Feng moved away directly. The power of the Tai Yin True Water and the Tai Yang True Fire was extremely strong. The divine patterns activated when the mirror was not broken were protecting him, so he didn't dare to get too close.

Although there was only a wisp of the real water and real fire that emitted a terrifying aura, it was still extremely powerful. Even if a Return to Earth Immortal was contaminated by it, it could be easily turned into ashes.

"boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Just as Wan Nianfeng dodged, countless turbulent streams emerged from the void, and countless blazing flames burned in the void.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly turned into a world wrapped in water and fire.

Countless streams of water and countless flames, with the strands of Taiyin True Water and Sun True Fire as the core, swirled and entangled around Ji Xiaoshan, like a world-destroying water and fire mill, constantly refining the black-robed young man in the center of the water and fire.

"This freak! How come the sound of his breakthrough is so much stronger than mine?" Wan Nianfeng looked at him in astonishment. He was just breaking through the seventh level and becoming a Purple Mansion cultivator.

This overwhelming scene of water and fire blending together, if someone said that someone had broken through the tenth level of the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram", all the immortal cultivators would believe it.

The water and fire millstone was turning, with the true water of the moon and the true fire of the sun as the source. A large amount of the power of the moon and the power of the sun poured into Ji Xiaoshan's body.

Under the guidance of the divine patterns, Ji Xiaoshan's divine body began to transform naturally. Every bone, every muscle, and even every cell in his internal organs were absorbing like crazy.

In the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu", the small realms are usually crossed by slowly accumulating, such as from the fourth level to the fifth level, and from the fifth level to the sixth level. They are all slowly cultivated and accumulated.

But going from the sixth level to the seventh level is a huge leap!

The divine body has a fundamental leap, and the energy required is incomparably astonishing, even more astonishing than the previous cultivation from the fourth level to the sixth level.

This set of magical skills can be called the most difficult method. Ji Xiaoshan could only sigh that it was true.

It has been some time since he broke through to the innate perfection, and he can even easily comprehend the true meaning of swordsmanship in battle.

But what is missing is that tiny opportunity, that feeling of the unity of yin and yang.

Just today, I was inspired by the interweaving of black and white lines in the black and white picture, and just now I broke through the seventh level of "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu".

……

These two days, some brothers have reported that the pace is a bit slow. I think about it and it is a little bit. The main reason is that the protagonist has just left the Ji family and has nothing. He first mixes in the Black and White Academy to get to know everything. After reaching the standard of experience, he can also have some reasonable self-protection power outside. It is the process of a brand new version.

The update is a bit slow, so please accompany Ji Xiaoshan as he grows slowly.

Although I followed the path that Ji Ning had taken in the early stages, I still wanted to try to have a different feeling. For example, the Jiulian guarding the gate in Chapter 29, which was just a short time after entering the game, was a small attempt.

Finally, it’s still the same!
Please continue reading!

Thank you for your support!
