Chapter 565 The Great Yin-Yang Technique Obtained, Seeking the Fragment of the World Tree
Chapter 48 Vacuum Yin Yang Returns to Dragon Abyss

Deep within the Heavenly Palace of Ascension, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue sat cross-legged facing each other in front of Master Feng Baiyu, their minds completely immersed in the vast and boundless "Vacuum Yin Yang Dao" inheritance.

This core secret technique, originating from the *Ascension Scripture*, is actually a profound manifestation of the "Great Yin-Yang Technique" within the Three Thousand Great Daos. Its essence lies in analyzing the fundamental Yin and Yang energies of the universe, elucidating the ultimate principles of the rise and fall of purity and turbidity, the harmony of movement and stillness, and the cycle of birth and death. At its highest level of cultivation, it can evolve into a Yin-Yang void, devouring all things, or it can differentiate purity and turbidity, opening up the void—its mysteries are beyond description.

Feng Baiyu did not directly bestow the empowerment, but instead used his divine sense as a guide to transform countless ancient scriptures, patterns, and fragments of Daoist rhymes into trickles of water that flowed into the two people's sea of ​​consciousness, guiding them to comprehend them on their own.

Feng Baiyu also had his own agenda; he wanted to see just how good the comprehension was in these two newly emerging prodigies of the sect.

The result made him very satisfied.

Li Chengqian possessed the accumulation of knowledge from several worlds and the supreme method of Taiyin Refining Form, which directly pointed to the origin, as his foundation. He also had experience in analyzing the Great Collapse Technique, referencing the Great Five Elements Technique, the Great Chaos Technique, and the Lesser Destiny Technique. His understanding of the essence of the Great Dao far surpassed that of his peers. At this moment, when he came into contact with the Great Yin-Yang Technique, it was as if he had a commanding view. Many difficult points were often understood immediately, and he could even draw inferences from similar cases, verifying them with his own learning.

His internal magical power flowed naturally, sometimes transforming into the primordial, cold, and ethereal energy of antiquity, and sometimes into the blazing, pure Yang divine fire of the heavens. The Yin and Yang energies circulated and interacted within his acupoints, mutually generating and restraining each other, gradually forming a miniature Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, slowly rotating and emanating a Daoist rhythm that harmonized all things and balanced heaven and earth. His aura grew increasingly profound and restrained, as if resonating with the chaotic void of water, fire, and wind that had evolved around him.

Fang Qingxue was also a prodigy, possessing the essence of the Heavenly Lord of Lightning, and had her own unique understanding of the birth and death of thunder and the clash of yin and yang. The inheritance of the Great Yin-Yang Technique subtly resonated with her cultivation of the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade and the Great Chaos Thunder Law, allowing her understanding of thunder to reach a new level. The lightning around her was no longer just a pure, destructive purple, but also faintly tinged with a chaotic color, sometimes as bright as the sun, sometimes as dark as the yin, ever-changing and unpredictable.

In the Heavenly Palace, there is no calendar; in cultivation, one knows not the years.

By the time the two had fully grasped the initial essence of the Yin-Yang Dao of the Void, and their auras were perfectly integrated and initially aligned with the inherited Daoist principles, a year had already passed.

Li Chengqian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly flowing with the energy of Yin and Yang before settling into calm, becoming even more profound and unfathomable. Although his cultivation had not directly broken through, his control over power and understanding of the Great Dao were now vastly different from before, his foundation honed to an unparalleled solidity. Fang Qingxue also awoke at the same time, her clear, cold eyes flashing with lightning, her aura becoming increasingly ethereal and otherworldly.

The two smiled at each other and left the space deep within the Feathered Heaven Palace at the same time. The flow of this space was different from that of the outside world. One year inside was equivalent to only one day outside. As soon as they came out, they saw Feng Baiyu with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" The two bowed to Feng Baiyu in unison.

Feng Baiyu looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with even greater satisfaction. He nodded slightly and said, "You two have exceptional comprehension. You have already grasped the basics in just one year. Very good. After you return, you must practice diligently and thoroughly understand this method. This method is the foundation of longevity, so you must not slack off."

"Disciple, please obey the instructions!"

After leaving the Feathered Heaven Palace and returning to Lanyue Peak, Fang Qingxue settled in briefly before finding Li Chengqian.

“Cousin, I wish to return to Longyuan Province.” Fang Qingxue said, “Although the people selected by the clan last time were good, it was not my personal decision. Now that I have stabilized my cultivation, I want to go back and take a look, and make sure to settle the family affairs properly, especially my younger sister Qingwei. She has good talent, and I want to personally bring her to the immortal sect to cultivate.”

Fang Qingwei and Li Chengqian were slightly taken aback, but then they smiled and said, "This is only right. Visiting relatives and settling things at home is the only way to pursue the Great Dao without distraction. I will accompany you."

A warm glint flashed in Fang Qingxue's eyes, and she softly hummed in agreement. Several days later, a purple bolt of lightning and a streak of azure light rose from the Feathered Immortal Mountain, heading straight towards Longyuan Province of the Great Li Dynasty. Their cultivation had greatly improved, and their speed was extremely fast; in just a few days, they had already arrived in the territory of Longyuan Province.

The Fang family governor's mansion had already received the news, and Fang Zetao led the entire mansion to open the main gate and respectfully welcome her. Fang Qingxue was now a true disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect, at the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm, and one of the seven true disciples of the sect. Her status was extremely noble, far surpassing that of a provincial governor or even the royal family of the Great Li Dynasty. Last time, after Fang Qingxue advanced to the Divine Power Realm, the Great Li Dynasty bestowed upon her the title of princess, but this time, the Great Li Dynasty did not even mention the matter again.

One of the seven true disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect, his status is far more esteemed than that of the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty.

Looking at his daughter, whose aura was profound and whose beauty was unparalleled, and Li Chengqian, who was equally unfathomable beside her, Fang Zetao was filled with mixed emotions. Thinking of his past conflicts with the Li family, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. These two middle-aged men, who had both wanted to serve the dynasty, suddenly realized that the very dynasty they wanted to serve had now bowed to them. There was nothing they could do; the dynasty's patriarch's status within the Feathered Ascension Sect wasn't necessarily higher than that of their children. How utterly pointless!

Fang Qingxue's return home naturally caused a stir in Longyuan Province and even the entire Dali Dynasty. However, she disliked noise and only summoned her father Fang Zetao, uncle Fang Zeshan, and other core clan members to inquire in detail about the family's situation and personally examine the aptitude and character of the young members of the clan.

Fang Qingxue was particularly fond of her younger sister, Fang Qingwei. As Fang Qingwei grew older, she blossomed into a bright and beautiful young woman. Although she had a somewhat spoiled personality, her physical constitution was indeed excellent, having already reached the eighth level of the Divine Warrior realm. Fang Qingxue personally regulated her meridians, bestowed upon her elixirs and cultivation techniques, and decided to take her back to the Feathered Ascension Sect with her to personally teach her.

Meanwhile, Fang Qingxue re-selected some loyal, reliable, and capable collateral relatives and servants to expand the manpower of Zidian Peak. She acted decisively and efficiently, and in just half a month, she had arranged the affairs of the Fang family properly, leaving behind some cultivation resources and contact information to ensure the steady development of the family.

After everything was arranged, Fang Qingxue prepared to return to Yuhua Sect with Fang Qingwei and the newly selected people.

“Cousin, things at home are settled, let’s set off now,” Fang Qingxue said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly and shook his head: "Qingxue, take Qingwei and the others back first. I still have some things to take care of, I'll return to the sect later."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingxue glanced at Li Chengqian with her cool eyes, but did not ask any further questions. She simply nodded gently and said, "Alright, then cousin, please be careful." She had absolute confidence in Li Chengqian, knowing that this cousin was unfathomable and that everything he did had a deeper meaning, never acting without a purpose.

"Don't worry." Li Chengqian nodded.

At that moment, the two parted ways outside Longyuan Province. Fang Qingxue rode her escape light, leading Fang Qingwei and her group back to the Feathered Immortal Sect. After watching them leave, Li Chengqian's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared thousands of miles away, and at the same time, his aura and appearance began to change. His green robe was replaced by a magnificent Daoist robe adorned with star patterns, and he put on a star crown. His face was also slightly adjusted using the Taiyin Refining Technique, becoming handsome and with a touch of aloof nobility. He was exactly the same as the disciple of the Boundless Star Palace in the Vast Sea Desert.

“Disciple of Wuji Star Palace, online again.” Li Chengqian’s lips curled into a smile as he looked toward the distant Great Xuan Dynasty. “Heavenly Dao Pavilion, World Tree fragment. I wonder if that World Tree fragment has arrived at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion yet.”

He was well aware of the butterfly effect of his altering Fang Han's fate; the plot had already deviated from the original story's trajectory. Was that large fragment of the World Tree, discovered in the Ruins of Return and destined to appear at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion auction a few years later, already there? Or had Fang Han already intercepted it in the Ruins of Return? This needed to be confirmed, so he had to take the initiative.

Moreover, this time, he doesn't intend to bid through formal channels. Firstly, it would be too conspicuous and easily attract unnecessary attention; secondly, although he has some wealth now, he probably wouldn't be able to afford to bid for such rare items, and besides, why waste resources when you can just take them?
His figure transformed into an almost imperceptible starlight, and Li Chengqian increased his speed to the extreme, rushing towards the direction of the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty like lightning.
