The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 750 - 747 Yin Yang Realm

Chapter 750: Chapter 747 Yin Yang Realm

Ye Xuan muttered softly, naturally addressing the Daluo Sword Embryo.

This Daluo Sword Embryo was something his disciple, Huang Chunqiu, had brought back from the Daluo Heaven. When it was first brought back, it was merely a Daluo Sword Embryo.

Since Huang Chunqiu already had the Autumn Spring Yellow, he naturally did not need the Daluo Sword Embryo. Therefore, he placed it under the three Sword Ponds to suppress the fortune of the Sword Tomb.

In fact, the Daluo Sword Embryo didn’t suppress any fortune at all, but instead, absorbed the multitude of Sword Qi from the Sword Tomb.

Yet, even with the years of change, it remained a Daluo Sword Embryo.

Earlier, when Ye Xuan used his Emperor Soul to search for that Ancestor Ji, he noticed the location of the Daluo Sword Embryo.

But he had the Guo Hezu, so he wasn’t very interested in the Daluo Sword Embryo.

As for Youwei, he originally intended for her to choose a suitable one from those famous swords.

Yet, to his surprise, not a single one was a perfect match.

Consequently, Ye Xuan settled for the next best thing and turned his attention to the Daluo Sword Embryo.

Truth be told, he didn’t want Youwei to take the Daluo Sword Embryo.

Despite its impressive origins, a Sword Embryo is just a Sword Embryo after all, not fully formed yet. In comparison, there were even more powerful famous swords within the three Sword Ponds.

The disadvantage of the Daluo Sword Embryo lies in it being just an embryo.

But its advantage also lies in the fact that it is an embryo, not yet formed, which is perfect for Zhou Youwei to attune to and forge into her own Lifebound Sword.

If Zhou Youwei could become an Emperor in the future, then naturally the Daluo Sword Embryo would become the Daluo Emperor Sword.

It’s just like the Imperial Emperor Sword in the hands of Lie Tian Great Emperor back in the day.

Initially, the Imperial Emperor Sword that Lie Tian Great Emperor wielded was also a Sword Embryo, yet it eventually evolved into an invincible Emperor Sword of its era.

Boom!

While Ye Xuan was murmuring, that mysterious Daluo Sword Embryo appeared in front of Zhou Youwei.

Hum————

At that moment, Zhou Youwei abruptly opened her eyes, and from her beautiful pupils shot out two solid-like beams of Divine Light, which whipped up a violent wind and stirred up the dust on the ground.

Zhou Youwei, in her white garments flowing freely, her beautiful hair fluttering, appeared like a fairy descending to the earth.

Youwei lightly lifted her lotus arm, her fingers tender and slender, gracefully coming together to grasp the Daluo Sword Embryo before her.

A sensation of blood connection arose.

Boom!

An overwhelming Sword Qi burst forth from Zhou Youwei.

At this instant, Zhou Youwei was like a Sword Prison, unleashing destructive Sword Qi capable of annihilating Heaven and Earth.

Meanwhile, in the space above Zhou Youwei to the left, a black-cloaked tiny figure suddenly floated.

This tiny figure was exquisitely detailed, with closed eyes, and looked exactly like a miniature Zhou Youwei.

However, the figure emanated a pure Yin Energy.

Moments later, the tiny figure swiftly expanded, transforming into a shape identical to Zhou Youwei.

At this moment, it seemed as though two Zhou Youweis had been formed.

But upon closer inspection, the Zhou Youwei shrouded in black energy appeared to be an ethereal existence.

It was none other than a Yin God, which can only be cultivated in the Yin Yang Realm.

A Yin God is shadowy and formless.

The realms of cultivation are divided into: Body Refinement, Reach Profound, Divine Gate, Daoist Platform, Inscriptions, Earth Element, Grotto Heaven, Heavenly Phenomenon, Life Palace, Yin Yang, Longevity (Unity), Heavenly Human, Heavenly God, Heavenly Venerable, and Saint Realm (Transcendent to Saint Great Master).

Each realm has its own uniqueness.

The first five realms focus on establishing a foundation. The Earth Element, Grotto Heaven, and Heavenly Phenomenon realms emphasize the use of the Power of Heaven and Earth, creating Grotto Heavens to accelerate cultivation speed, and condensing Heaven and Earth Anomalies to enhance oneself.

After the Heavenly Phenomenon comes the Life Palace Realm, which is the first major hurdle for cultivators around the world.

If one cannot overcome this barrier, they will remain stagnant there, and will eventually turn to dust after a thousand years.

To speak briefly about the Life Palace Realm and the next three realms, Yin Yang and Longevity (Unity).

There’s an old saying in the Cultivation World: "Two souls linger outside Heaven and Earth, only the Life Soul dwells within."

The Life Soul can also be called the Primordial Spirit. The moment a person is born, it has always been in the Mud Ball Palace. If the Life Soul is extinguished, then the person dies.

The case of Ye Xuan is an exception. At the age of eleven, his Life Soul was captured and sealed within that Monster Body by the Burial Emperor.

That’s why Ye Xuan became foolish when his Life Soul was gone.

Since Ye Xuan’s Life Soul was not dead, but existed on another timeline, his intelligence naturally returned when Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul awakened.

The Life Palace Realm involves opening the Life Palace and awakening the Primordial Spirit (Life Soul).

Once this realm is reached, one can use the Divine Sense to see aspects of Heaven and Earth that ordinary cultivators can’t.

After reaching the Life Palace Realm, one can actually be called a junior True Person.

In the Upper Elixir Field’s Mud Ball Palace, there are nine Life Palaces, and the more Life Palaces that are awakened, the stronger one’s strength becomes.

This strength refers mainly to the growth of the Primordial Spirit, which is the Soul Power.

To display Divine Communication Skills, one needs not only to consume True Qi but also Soul Power.

It is like after a great battle, a person will feel mentally exhausted; this is actually the consumption of Soul Power.

And once all nine Life Palaces are awakened, the Life Soul can be perfectly awakened.

Here it’s necessary to mention Ye Xuan’s Life Soul because Ye Xuan’s Life Soul was already invincible, which is to say, the Invincible Emperor Soul, allowing him to use the Emperor Soul even without the awakening of the Life Palaces.

But because the Life Palaces haven’t been awakened, every time he used the Emperor Soul, he would be extremely worn out.

Now, with the Life Palaces awakened, as long as Ye Xuan’s own strength continues to grow, the Emperor Soul will become increasingly terrifying.

After reaching the Great Success of the Life Palace Realm, one can then aim for the Yin Yang Realm.

To enter the Yin Yang Realm, one must follow a necessary path, which is to cultivate both Yin God and Yang God.

Only by cultivating both Yin God and Yang God can one truly reach the Great Success of the Yin Yang Realm.

And speaking of Yin God and Yang God, there’s that saying again.

"The two souls of heaven and earth are always external, only the Life Soul resides within the body."

The Life Palace Realm mainly cultivates the Life Soul, while the Yin Yang Realm cultivates the two souls of heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Soul is the Yang God, and the Earthly Soul is the Yin God.

The Yin God has a shadow but no form.

Pure and enlightened, with an undispersed Divine Sense, like a dream or a shadow, akin to a ghost—this is the Yin God.

The Yang God has both shadow and form.

Shedding its mortal shell and forming a body outside the body, when gathered it assumes shape, when dispersed it becomes Qi—this is the Yang God.

In simple terms, the Yin God possesses power similar to Divine Sense, it surveils everything around it and is not easily detected by others. It is an independent entity but cannot display various Divine Communication Skills like the main body, and can only use attacks related to the Divine Soul.

The Yang God, however, is formidable; it is the Avatar of the cultivator’s main body and can use various Divine Communication Skills just like the main body.

This is why it is said that cultivators below the Yin Yang Realm find it very difficult to fight those in the Yin Yang Realm.

When a cultivator of the Yin Yang Realm releases their Yang God, condensing an Avatar, it can instantly turn the fight into two against one. What can you use to fight them?

Of course, there are some monsters that are exceptions to this rule.

For instance... Ye Xuan.

Having talked about the Yin Yang Realm, let’s now speak of the Longevity (Unity) Realm.

The Longevity Realm was originally called the Unity Realm, but because one can possess a lifespan of ten thousand years at this realm, it is also known as the Longevity Realm, which is more intuitive.

In the Longevity Realm, one needs to unify Yin and Yang to achieve a lifespan of ten thousand years.

This unity of Yin and Yang does not refer to the Yin God and Yang God, but to the Seven Spirits.

Three Souls and Seven Spirits: the Life Palace Realm and the Yin Yang Realm cultivate the Three Souls, the Longevity Realm cultivates the Seven Spirits.

The Seven Spirits: The first spirit is named Corpse Dog; the second, Swallowing Thieves; the third, Nonpoisonous; the fourth, Excluding Filth; the fifth, Stinking Lung; the sixth, Rising Qi; and the seventh, Spirit Wisdom.

The Seven Spirits correspond to one spirit, Heavenly Chong; two spirits, Spirit Wisdom; three is Qi; four is Strength; five is Central Pivot; six is Essence; seven is Heroic.

Among the Seven Spirits, two are Heavenly Spirits, two are Earthly Spirits, and three are Human Spirits. Yin and Yang correspond to each other and never part.

And when Yin and Yang unite, achieving perfect Unity, it is the Great Success of the Longevity Realm.

This is why the Longevity Realm is also called the Unity Realm.

Another saying describes the Longevity Realm:

"Escape the tiny cage and live for ten thousand years, then I’ll know my fate is not determined by heaven!"

This is the division of realms within the Cultivation World.

And at this moment, the ’Zhou Youwei’ to the left is actually Zhou Youwei’s Yin God.

Left yin and right yang!

As Zhou Youwei’s Yin God appeared, to her right, there gradually gathered the clear Yang Qi of the Great Pure.

In the blink of an eye, another Zhou Youwei appeared!

This time, Zhou Youwei’s Yang God had shadow and form, unlike the Yin God which had shadow but no form.

This avatar of Zhou Youwei’s Yang God was shrouded in a faint Immortal Qi, like a Banished Immortal!

An Avatar, thus formed!

Having cultivated both Yin God and Yang God, this was at least the Fifth Layer of the Yin Yang Realm!

Keep in mind, when Zhou Youwei arrived yesterday, she was just at the Second Layer of the Yin Yang Realm.

It was due to the recognition of the master by the Daluo Sword Embryo that directly allowed Zhou Youwei’s Yang God to be cultivated!

(PS: Seeing that many readers say they can’t remember the realms, I’ll take the opportunity of Youwei’s breakthrough to explain them to everyone.)
