Chapter 473: Enhancing Yin and Yang

At this moment, Tang San, the Asura in her eyes, was again climbing a Sacred Mountain.

After leaving the Ancestral Court Square, Tang San did not return to his residence. He sent Big Cat to climb and try to gain recognition from the Sword Saint Palace while he went back to the Sunborne Sacred Mountain.

The wondrous effects of the yin-yang energy had been vividly displayed in today's battle. Among his, Big Cat's, and Mei Gongzi's opponents, the Golden Mammoth was unquestionably the strongest, possibly one of the top contenders in this elite competition. Tang San hadn’t been sure how effective his strike would be back then, but to his surprise, the infusion of yin-yang energy had played a decisive role, directly defeating his opponent. This showed how formidable the extreme yin and yang aura was.

When the world was first created, yin-yang energy naturally existed. The balance of yin and yang gave birth to life and allowed it to grow, and it contained countless mysteries.

Tang San used to be a God King, so he naturally had an understanding of the mysteries of the universe, but in his previous life, his cultivation was based on his martial soul, which was fixed and could not be changed.

In this life, however, he had the ability to absorb and use whatever bloodline power he wanted, which allowed him to experiment more. What delighted him most today was the qualitative change brought about by the fusion of multiple abilities.

If this fusion could be taken a step further, even without being at the tenth order, it wouldn't be too difficult to fight against ordinary tenth-order opponents.

Moreover, mastering yin-yang energy would help him later in refining the Temporal Beacon.

The Temporal Beacon was not easy to process. In addition to the laws of time and space, more powerful forces were required to create it. With Tang San's experience and divine consciousness, he could only partially do it, and he couldn’t tell how great that part was until he did it. Now, with the addition of yin-yang energy, he could undoubtedly get much better results.

After paying ten naturae coins, Tang San once again arrived at the foot of the Sunborne Sacred Mountain. He stepped onto the first step and stopped there this time.

Immediately, a strong yang aura rushed toward him, invading his body.

Tang San quietly guided the yang energy into himself, attempting to channel it through the yin-yang energy vortex around his Blue Silver Emperor.

Sure enough, the vortex directly devoured the yang energy, integrating it into it, causing the yin-yang energy within the vortex to surge immediately.

What surprised Tang San was that although the energy he had absorbed was a hundred percent of yang, fiery nature, a small part of it was transformed into something else within the vortex. It didn't turn into the opposite yin and gentle energy, however; what emerged was a completely different kind of energy, balanced and powerful. This energy was different from the internal energy produced by his Mysterious Heaven Technique and was clearly of a higher level.

Others might not know what this energy was, but Tang San, who had once controlled an entire divine realm—and a high-level one at that—recognized it at a glance.

This is chaos energy!

Before the world came into existence, there was the primordial chaos. From the primordial chaos emerged the two polar extremes that were now known as yin and yang. This division further led to the birth of all living beings.

Could the yin and yang energies merge like a soaring dragon and a roaring tiger dancing together and turn back into the original chaos energy?

Although it was just a tiny amount, this chaos energy was incredibly precious! It was the most primordial energy, and it was immensely useful for any living being at any level of existence.

The divine energy of the divine realm was a form of chaos energy. Yet chaos energy was on a higher level; in a way, it was comparable to a purified form of divine energy.

The power of faith and offerings that a divine realm absorbed from the planes under its control was a source for this very chaos energy.

If Tang San were still a God King, this amount of chaos energy would naturally be nothing to him. But now, as an ordinary human, far from reaching divinity, it was entirely different. This chaos energy was a massive boon for his physique and Mysterious Heaven Technique alike.

Under this tremendous nourishment, Tang San had the opportunity to enhance his physique once more.

He carefully collected the chaos energy, wrapping it with his internal energy, preparing to absorb and cultivate it later.

The yang energy in his body began to intensify. Although the yin-yang vortex could absorb and draw in some of it, it became unstable as more extreme yang energy entered his body.

Tang San didn't dare let it remain in this unstable state. If the balance of yin and yang was lost, it could break the imprint, nullifying all his previous efforts and causing severe injury.

He quickly used the spatial power of the Peacock bloodline to isolate the vortex from the yang energy he absorbed. Instead of blocking the yang energy, he let it merge into his body, using the fierce Lion-Tiger Golden Force to devour and guide it, gathering it near his soul core and compressing it as much as possible.

Although the yang energy was domineering, with Tang San's current abilities, and considering it was only the energy level of the first step, he could still handle it.

This time, he didn't stay too long. After absorbing and compressing the extreme yang energy to a certain extent, which took about an hour, he left.

His next target was naturally Earthshade Sacred Mountain.

Arriving at Earthshade Sacred Mountain, Tang San paid the entrance fee and again only stepped onto the first step. This time, he was even more cautious while absorbing energy.

For each wisp of yin energy he absorbed, he drew out an equal amount of yang energy from the compressed cluster, shifting both together into the yin-yang vortex of the Blue Silver Emperor through the spatial power of the Peacock Demon imprint.

The newly arrived yin energy was bound to cause some instability, but compared to the energy already in the vortex, it was much weaker and was quickly assimilated. Tang San could feel his yin-yang vortex growing stronger.

When disturbances arose during the assimilation process, the Chrono Croc imprint would be activated to slow down the process, giving them more time to merge.

Sure enough, this method worked. The speed at which the yin-yang vortex within his Blue Silver Emperor improved was far greater than when he cultivated elsewhere. Tang San wasn't impatient, however; he refined and merged the energies bit by bit. The greater the energy strength of the yin-yang vortex itself, the faster it would assimilate the new yin-yang energy, forming a positive cycle.

As a result, in about two hours, the yang energy previously absorbed from the Sunborne Sacred Mountain was completely assimilated and merged. This time, due to him being more careful to avoid losses, the strength of the yin-yang energy within his body had doubled by the time the fusion was complete.

Of course, this wasn't the end. After exhausting the yang energy, he directly absorbed as much extreme yin energy from Earthshade Sacred Mountain before returning to the Sunborne Sacred Mountain to cultivate. He used the same approach to absorb some more yang energy.

By midnight, Tang San had made two roundtrips. Although he had spent quite a few naturae coins, the yin-yang energy within his body had increased to four times its previous level, and he could now use it in battle without fear of it being instantly depleted.

However, by this time, Tang San also noticed a problem. The yin-yang energy vortex was becoming unstable due to its increase in strength, and the Polar Luck Domain did not help much in stabilizing it.

After careful observation and judgment, Tang San discovered the issue. The reason for the instability was not a problem with his cultivation but that the energy of the Blue Silver Emperor, which served as a fusion catalyst, had been depleted. In other words, without the harmonizing effect of the Blue Silver Emperor imprint, the yin-yang energy was bound to become more and more unstable.
