Chapter 384 Yin Yang Grinding Disc
Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock with a gleam in his eyes. If the other party said so, he would be energized!
Logically speaking, this old fellow's physical body was destroyed, so he should be considered a 'wandering soul,' right?
Just as Zhang Chen was pondering how to give this peacock's true spirit a hard time, the Innate Peacock said, "If you had asked me tens of thousands of years ago whether I had the means to reverse Innate Yin Yang into Innate Five Elements, I would have been helpless. But you, young man, have good luck. I obtained a divine power from a dead enemy, called: Reversing Yin and Yang."
"As long as Yin and Yang are reversed, the Qi of the Two Elements can be reversed, and the Qi of Yin and Yang can be evolved into the Qi of the Innate Five Elements. I will now teach you the great divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang. As for how much you can comprehend, it depends on your fortune."
After the Innate Peacock finished speaking, he directly began to explain the divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words 'Reversing Yin and Yang': "Isn't this the great divine power among the legendary Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs?"
Then, he quickly gathered his mind and listened attentively. However, just as the peacock was lecturing, its true spirit suddenly trembled, and strands of five-colored light were inexplicably absorbed from its illusory body and disappeared into the treasure mirror.
"Damn bastard! If I get out, I will definitely tear him to pieces!" The Innate Peacock revealed a hint of anger in his eyes as he looked at the flowing Innate Five Elements Qi.
At this time, Zhang Chen had already grasped part of the authority of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. Of course, he knew what had happened. He saw Xu Erniu, standing in front of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, forming a hand seal, and a wisp of Innate Five Elements essence flew directly from the Innate Peacock's body and fell into Xu Erniu's body.
At this time, the Innate Peacock stopped lecturing and said, "That girl is my descendant, possessing my bloodline. Coupled with that beast's incantation, she can absorb my bloodline power to accelerate the cultivation and growth of the Grass Return Pill."
"What grudges do you have with that old bastard, Senior?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Years ago, an immortal came from the Immortal Realm, wanting to subdue me as a mount. I fought with him for three days, and with the authority of the Innate Five Elements, I severely injured him, beheaded his physical form, and suppressed his true spirit. After our great battle, I was also injured. Later, I met that beast Changsheng. At that time, I fell into a tribulation and was moved by desire, and combined with Changsheng's daughter, giving birth to a daughter. Later, I escaped the tribulation and brought his family to Qingcheng Mountain, teaching them the cultivation incantation. Unfortunately, I was careless for a moment, and a trace of that immortal's true spirit escaped with the help of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and possessed Changsheng. Then, the dog thief Changsheng obtained the immortal's inheritance and helped the immortal repair his form. While I was in closed-door cultivation, that immortal came to my door and fought with me for three hundred rounds. At this time, that beast Changsheng actually used the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to plot against me, cooperating with that immortal to imprison me within the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror."
The Innate Peacock's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. He felt really aggrieved in his heart. If it weren't for his father-in-law's betrayal, how could he have ended up in such a state?
"That divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang is what I obtained from that immortal, and then comprehended for tens of thousands of years in this Ruins of Return, finally gaining some understanding," the Innate Peacock said.
Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this. He captured two key words: 'Immortal' and 'Immortal Realm.' That so-called Immortal Realm should be the Thirty-Three Heavens.
He wanted to ask more questions, but he saw the Innate Peacock impatiently saying, "What are you blabbering about? Listen carefully. I will only say it once. If you don't understand, I won't say it a second time."
While resisting Xu Erniu's extraction from the void, the peacock explained the Great Dao of Yin and Yang to Zhang Chen.
Reversing Yin and Yang is indeed an incredible great divine power. Zhang Chen had not even reached the realm of Fruit, and facing Reversing Yin and Yang, he could only understand a little.
But fortunately, there was Innate Yin Yang Qi in Zhang Chen's body. At this time, corresponding to the Innate Yin Yang Qi in his body, he could comprehend some of the mysteries.
As the peacock finished speaking, the Innate Peacock asked, "Have you understood?"
Zhang Chen blinked: "I seem to understand."
"Your realm is too low. Even if a strong person who has attained the Fruit wants to comprehend this great divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang, it is even more difficult. You, a mere ant, also want to comprehend Reversing Yin and Yang. It's really wishful thinking. However, I have already taught you the incantation of cultivation. If you can't comprehend it, it's your own problem, and you can't blame me."
The Innate Peacock quickly cleared himself of responsibility, pushing all the blame away.
Zhang Chen frowned when he heard this. He couldn't do anything about the Innate Peacock wanting to go back on his word, but just because he couldn't cultivate Reversing Yin and Yang didn't mean he couldn't take a shortcut.
"How did you obtain the divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang from that immortal back then?" Zhang Chen asked.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Innate Peacock said, "That person had a jade tablet on his body, and this divine power was recorded on the jade tablet, which I obtained."
"I want to see that jade tablet in person," Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock.
In the next moment, five-colored light flickered behind the Innate Peacock, and a palm-sized jade tablet fell in front of him: "The original version is here. You can take it and look at it."
He didn't believe that Zhang Chen, this amateur, could understand the original divine power. He had already broken down the divine power and fed it to the other party, but the other party still couldn't understand it. Giving you the original version will make you understand? It's simply wishful thinking.
"Boy, don't you think I'm trying to fool you? You are ignorant and don't understand, but you still suspect that I'm deceiving you. You're really ungrateful," the Innate Peacock cursed.
Zhang Chen ignored the other party's words and picked up the jade tablet, looking at it up and down. He saw countless tadpole characters engraved on it. The tadpole characters were very mysterious, lifelike as if they were alive, constantly swimming back and forth.
Zhang Chen watched the original Heavenly Book, of course, not because he didn't believe in the Innate Peacock, but because Reversing Yin and Yang was too mysterious. Even if he exhausted himself, he couldn't comprehend it. The reason why he wanted to see the original version was because he was wondering if any skills could drop from the original Heavenly Book. If he could directly drop the great divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang, he would be able to reach the goal directly.
Zhang Chen held the jade tablet Heavenly Book in his hand, and saw that this jade tablet, which recorded Reversing Yin and Yang, was indeed not an ordinary thing. Innate Qi flowed on it. If it were placed in his later generations, this jade tablet should be called a 'Heavenly Book.'
"Stimulating it with Yin Yang Qi might cause the jade tablet to drop skills, just like when the Light of the Righteous God dropped back then," Yin Yang Qi flowed in Zhang Chen's hand, directly pouring into the jade tablet. In the next moment, he saw the jade tablet flashing black and white light, and a black and white sphere fell at Zhang Chen's feet.
At this time, the golden finger interface popped up:
[Skill Fragment Detected. Do you want to pick it up?]
"Pick it up!" Zhang Chen said.
As Zhang Chen's instructions were issued in his heart, his golden finger interface changed for a while:
[Secret Treasure Incubation Method Discovered: Yin Yang Grinding Disc]
[Note 1: A profound treasure refined from innate Yin and Yang energies, supplemented by special restrictions. Forward rotation harmonizes Yin and Yang, evolving into the five elements of the innate realm; reverse rotation transforms into chaos.]
[Note 2: Equipment requirement: a wisp of innate Yin and Yang energy.]
[Discovery! Conditions met. Equip?]
Information constantly refreshed on the Golden Finger interface, instantly brightening Zhang Chen's eyes: "Yin-Yang Grinding Disc? Harmonizes into the Five Elements, reverses into Chaos. This treasure is extraordinary. I just wonder if it can resolve the troubles within my body and completely solve the innate Yin and Yang energies within me?"
Zhang Chen's thoughts flickered for a moment, then he issued an instruction without hesitation: "Pick up!"
As Zhang Chen's thought arose, the black and white orb was absorbed. Then, the Yin and Yang energies within Zhang Chen's body were gathered and poured into his nascent soul's sea of consciousness, forming a illusory black and white placenta within. That placenta resembled a chicken egg, containing a rice-grain-sized grinding disc flickering within.
That grinding disc was woven from countless black and white runes intertwined into chains, forming a vast and complex grand formation according to some mysterious law. That grand formation gradually evolved and changed, with billions of chains of order flowing.
Then, a suction force came from the fetal egg, and all the innate Yin and Yang essence within Zhang Chen's nascent soul was absorbed completely.
Then, Zhang Chen's Golden Finger interface flashed:
[16 Skills (Tier 1): Yin-Yang Grinding Disc (0/100000)]
[Note 1: Can reverse Yin and Yang energies into Chaos energy]
[Note 2: Can forward rotate Yin and Yang energies into the Five Elements of the innate realm]
Sensing the fetal egg in his sea of consciousness, a look of joy appeared on Zhang Chen's face: "It's done!"
Although the Yin-Yang Grinding Disc was only Tier 1, it wasn't of much use to Zhang Chen. But when the Yin-Yang Grinding Disc is upgraded to the Great Accomplishment stage in the future, it will definitely have incredible abilities.
At this time, all the Yin and Yang essence in Zhang Chen's body had gathered in the grinding disc. The biggest trouble that plagued him had finally disappeared, and strands of mana naturally emerged in his body, constantly recovering.
The Innate Peacock on the other side was still rambling: "I say, boy, even if this Heavenly Book falls into your hands, you won't be able to grasp it. Do you think the divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang is so easy to comprehend? It involves extremely complex law transformations. Even I wouldn't dare say I've completely comprehended its creation. You, with your mere ant-like cultivation, want to comprehend this divine power? It's simply wishful thinking."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen shifted his gaze from the jade tablet in his hand and looked at the Innate Peacock opposite him. An idea stirred in his heart: 'I haven't mastered Reversing Yin and Yang yet. Now that the original version of the Heavenly Book has fallen into my hands, I can't miss it. I might as well take the opportunity to extort the Innate Peacock and keep this jade tablet Heavenly Book for myself. I can slowly cultivate Reversing Yin and Yang after I return.'
Without a doubt, Zhang Chen had become greedy for the jade tablet Heavenly Book. This jade tablet Heavenly Book was very important to him. He had to find a way to keep it in his hands. This was a top-tier existence among the Thirty-Six Divine Powers. If he didn't keep the jade tablet, he would simply deserve to be struck by lightning.
"Old Ancestor, you're playing me! You knew I couldn't comprehend this divine power at all, yet you still used trickery to deceive me. You... you... how can you be like this?"
Zhang Chen clutched the jade tablet in his hand, his eyes full of anger and grievance.
"Boy, you're still feeling wronged? Back then, you ruined my grand plan and almost caused me to die and disappear, how about that? What you've lost now is just a chance to learn, but what I lost back then was my life. Besides, the secret method I passed on to you was real. Who can you blame if you can't cultivate it?"
The Innate Peacock was now eloquent, his voice full of smugness.
Zhang Chen was so angry that his body trembled: "I don't care, you must compensate me, otherwise I would rather violate my oath than trap you here."
The Innate Peacock glanced at Zhang Chen and saw that this kid seemed to be really going to go berserk. He also felt a little flustered. He had had enough of this ghostly place. He still wanted to go out and take revenge, to kill that bastard, and didn't want to be trapped here to death. His hatred for the Ancestor Changsheng far exceeded his hatred for Zhang Chen.
"It's because you can't learn it yourself that you're blaming me. Then how do you say we should resolve this?"
The Innate Peacock's tone finally softened, not wanting to completely break with Zhang Chen.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen sized up the Innate Peacock, and then said thoughtfully: "You taught me the divine power to reverse Yin and Yang energies, but I can't learn this divine power now, so you haven't completed the condition. I want to keep this jade tablet and take it back to study, which will barely count as you completing the task."
"So you want this divine power?"
The Innate Peacock glanced at Zhang Chen, sizing him up. He always felt that this kid was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell exactly where the difference was since he was in prison.
At this time, the two looked at each other, both silent, entering a state of game.
For the Innate Peacock, he had already comprehended the great divine power of Reversing Yin and Yang recorded on the jade tablet Heavenly Book. The jade tablet was not of much use to him, but he was a little unwilling to just give it to Zhang Chen and let him take it away empty-handed.
"It's okay if you want the jade tablet Heavenly Book, but you need to promise me one more condition."
The Innate Peacock said.
"What condition?"
Zhang Chen asked calmly, while warning: "I advise you not to go too far, if you go too far, I won't agree."
"After you rescue me from the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, you need to help me seize a physical body to complete the rebirth through possession."
The Innate Peacock said.
"You want to be reborn through possession?"
Zhang Chen was stunned. According to his understanding, shouldn't the other party be directly reborn from flesh and blood? Why would he borrow a postnatal body to complete the rebirth through possession?
The Peacock said: "I want to seize the body of a disciple of the Wuzhuang Temple and secretly approach that old thing Changsheng, so that he will suffer retribution! Moreover, the Wuzhuang Temple is not as simple as you think. I don't know how much strength that old fellow who came down from the Heavenly Realm in the past has recovered. I still need to guard against him secretly. I need to use your Five-Colored Divine Light to quickly restore my origin, so that I can recast the foundation of the innate Five Energies and re-condense the Great Dao Holy Embryo."
This sentence was full of information, shocking Zhang Chen. The Innate Peacock once again mentioned the so-called immortal from the upper realm, a master who fell from the Thirty-Three Heavens of the spiritual world.
Where did the immortals originate?
Zhang Chen only knew that only when the innate gods fell did Qi Refiners have the opportunity to collect the essence of the sun and moon. Otherwise, the essence of the sun and moon would have their own masters, and Qi Refiners who dared to collect the essence of the sun and moon would definitely be suppressed and killed by the innate gods. Therefore, Qi Refining must be a path born after the Age of the Earth, but where the roots of Qi Refining are is really a mystery.
