Chapter 697 678: Transforming Chaos into Yin and Yang

This will, this power, completely stunned the five little guys. They could clearly feel the terror of the external force, as well as the excruciating pain and pressure on Wang Meng's body.

This was a power on the verge of causing a total collapse.

Under the relentless bombardment of Yin-Yang Power, Wang Meng's body was mangled beyond human recognition.

This was the terror of the Divine Sealing Tower. It was no game. Each level revealed a new law, embodying the principle that heaven and earth are indifferent, treating all of creation as straw dogs.

Wang Meng's body was perishing under this power. His Life Wheel was still generating True Essence, but it offered only the faintest resistance against such an assault.

As this power raged, bone was exposed in many parts of his body. The pain was enough to drive a person mad.

It wasn't that Wang Meng couldn't feel it. On the contrary, the sensation was crystal clear. The stronger his Primordial Spirit, the more sharply he felt the agony.

But he wasn't focused on the pain. Instead, he was immersing himself in the Yin-Yang Power itself.

His body could memorize the power; one had to experience it to truly understand. Without the protection of his Godhood, Wang Meng's life was fading away, bit by bit. The efforts of his Life Wheel seemed so futile.

The five little guys were worried sick. Their connection with Wang Meng grew weaker and more tenuous. They couldn't understand why their master was doing this.

Just then, Wang Meng's body slowly began to rise. Bit by bit. A movement that was once so simple had now become impossibly difficult.

The next moment, Wang Meng opened his eyes, and a beam of light shot toward the sky.

The Yin-Yang Reincarnation storm in Tower 76 suddenly intensified, as if it sensed a great crisis.

Wang Meng stood up. His perishing flesh could not defeat his formidable spirit. On the verge of life and death, he maintained a pure calm, even finding a kind of enjoyment in experiencing the true essence of that power.

In terms of natural talent, Wang Meng couldn't comprehend things as effortlessly as Mingren. But he had his own way of understanding, and that, too, was a form of talent.

Chaos into Yin-Yang—Reincarnation Break!

BOOM…

Wang Meng's True Essence erupted, swirling around his body to form a vortex. He still had no help from his Primordial Spirit, yet the vortex grew increasingly fierce. It drew upon the Spatial Power of Tower 76. Within this space existed a certain degree of the Law of Yin-Yang Reincarnation. To most Cultivators, this was a devastatingly lethal force, but for a Cultivator who could read the Law Order, it was another matter entirely.

It's like fire to a mortal. When you don't understand it, it inspires fear and brings destruction. But once you master it and understand it, it becomes humanity's greatest aid.

Wang Meng's discarded Chaotic True Essence spun, undergoing a baptism by the Yin Yang Reincarnation Power. This was no longer the brutal destruction from before, but a kind of guidance. Gradually, the vortex grew larger, spanning a hundred meters, then a thousand, until the entire area was enveloped within the terrifying whirlpool.

Tower 76 was undoubtedly a top-tier level. Even in the Divine Space, the number of Cultivators who could reach it could be counted on one hand. It was a pity no one was there to witness this miraculous scene.

Guided by order, Wang Meng's True Essence merged with it, borrowed from it, and finally began to unfurl. On one side, brilliant light radiated; on the other, profound darkness deepened—the division of yin and yang.

Within the vortex, Wang Meng's long hair whipped about. At this moment, he finally understood Mingren's pride and his heart. 'What a genius, what loneliness, and what a contradiction he must be.'

To hold yin and yang in one's hands truly grants a pride that transcends the Five Elements.

A colossal Yin-Yang Reincarnation symbol blotted out the sky as a ceaseless torrent of power surged into Wang Meng's body.

This was why Mingren's progress was so rapid it was terrifying, not much slower than Wang Meng who possessed Godhood. True Yin-Yang can transform the Five Elements; Yin-Yang can absorb the Five Elements, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to contain and elevate oneself.

Under the influence of Yin-Yang Reincarnation, a continuous stream of power nourished Wang Meng's Life Wheel. The once pale and fragile Life Wheel began to transform, splitting the world in two: Yin-Yang Reincarnation.

VMMMM~~~~

The cyclone of energy expanded, and a hurricane of surging True Essence swept outward. When everything settled, the tree was still there, standing proud and tall, only now with a figure beside it.

At this moment, one of Wang Meng's hands held light, the other darkness. A faint smile played on his lips. He suddenly understood how lucky his last victory had been. He had grasped a higher level of order, but the foundation of his power was the lower-level Five Elements. Mingren had mastered the higher-level Yin-Yang, but lacked a bit in his level of order. In truth, victory and defeat had been decided in a single instant.

Now that he understood Yin-Yang Power, Wang Meng realized that Mingren... was too soft-hearted. He had fought seeking death. If he had gone all out, he could have at least forced a mutually destructive outcome.

'That guy... I hope he finds even greater power in the higher planes. Otherwise, in our next battle, now that I understand Yin-Yang Reincarnation, I'll have an overwhelming advantage.'

Wang Meng didn't feel at all that being in the Middle Thousand Realm would hinder his cultivation. On the contrary, for him, this was a better form of training. It allowed him to continuously improve his fundamentals and build the most solid foundation in history.

With his comprehension of Yin-Yang Power, Wang Meng directly stepped into the Celestial Wheel Realm. The mundane, level-by-level promotions of the mortal world had no effect on Master Wang.

The five little guys were very well-behaved, all sending him messages of infinite adoration. To True Essence Beasts, Chaotic Power was undoubtedly weak because it was unusable. However, the Yin Yang Reincarnation Power was incomparably noble, far superior to the Five Elements of this plane.

'Does Wang Meng not need them anymore?' The five little guys felt useless inside. Wang Meng smiled and sent waves of warm reassurance to them. To him, these five little ones had become his partners, his comrades-in-arms. There was no strong or weak between them. Being together was all that mattered.

Master Wang clenched his fist. 'I need to see what happens when I combine this power with my Primordial Spirit.'

Power gathered in his fist, and he threw a punch.

VMMMM~~~~~~~~

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE…

Outside the Divine Sealing Tower, the Cultivators abruptly looked up. High above, Tower 76 was flashing with surging light. The power was so immense that even the level itself could no longer contain it.

What's going on???

It was completely different from when he had first entered. Master Wang now strolled through Tower 76 as if it were his own garden. In his current state, once he mastered the spatial order, this place would become his personal backyard.

The five little guys' admiration for Wang Meng had reached an unparalleled height. Although his power had advanced and his body was rapidly repairing itself, its foundation was still a bit weak. In the past, Wang Meng would have been full of vigor after something like this.

Upon leaving the Divine Space, Wang Meng felt a little dizzy the moment he landed. In the Divine Space, his Primordial Spirit had supported him—in fact, the power of the Primordial Spirit could even dominate the physical body. But back outside, the power of his Godhood was restricted by order. Although his Life Wheel had improved significantly, his body had been ravaged by the Power of Reincarnation. He had only taken a few steps before he stumbled and hit his head on the corner of a table.

Wang Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 'I can't believe I'd have such a pathetic day,' he thought. 'This is utterly humiliating.'

This time, Wang Meng's injuries were serious. His physical constitution was too weak. Even though he had comprehended Yin-Yang, his body still needed to recuperate. It was only because Master Wang had spent so long reinforcing his body that he survived; otherwise, an injury of this severity would have killed him long ago.

At dinner, the sisters Zuojing and Youjing discovered Wang Meng's condition. The color drained from their faces, and they immediately fell into a panic, completely flustered. A situation like this was clearly beyond what the two sisters could handle.

Wang Meng noticed their strange behavior and smiled. "Don't worry," he said. "I just had a small mishap during my training. I'll be fine soon."

Despite his words, when Zuojing was cleaning his wounds, she was so frightened by the sight of them that her face turned pale. His bones were exposed, his flesh a mangled mess. How could this possibly be a situation where they didn't need to worry and he would 'be fine soon'?

"Master, don't be afraid! I'll go get a Pill Master right away!" Youjing said hurriedly. At first, they had actually believed it was nothing serious. Who would have thought it was this severe?

Wang Meng just smiled. "It's nothing, just a flesh wound. I'll be fine after some rest." Wang Meng had no intention of making a big deal out of it. To him, an injury like this was minor.

The two sisters were truly stunned by Wang Meng's expression. 'This is what he calls a flesh wound?'

"No way! Go get a Pill Master, quickly! I'll take care of Master!" Zuojing said. Before Wang Meng could even speak, Youjing had already dashed out the door.

Zuojing slowly began to clean Wang Meng's wounds. It was obvious she had no experience; seeing his condition made her limbs go weak, and she couldn't control the force of her hands. It was only because Wang Meng maintained a constant smile that Zuojing gradually calmed down.

'She didn't understand. How could such a strong-willed person be called a Little White Face, a pushover?'

'He was the strongest man she had ever met.'

Before long, Youjing returned with the Pill Master.

Wang Meng looked at the white-bearded old Pill Master and gave a wry smile. In truth, his injuries looked very severe—they could very well have cost a Master his life. But for Wang Meng, it was also an extremely important tempering process. Even the best Fine Steel must be hammered and refined a thousand times to be forged into something great. Although his body was currently grievously wounded, as long as he recovered, it would be equivalent to a complete rebirth.

But since the man had rushed over in the middle of the night, Wang Meng didn't have the heart to send him away. It was thoughtful of those two girls, Zuojing and Youjing.

The old Pill Master was stroking his white beard at first, putting on the air of an expert. But when Wang Meng took off his shirt... the old Pill Master nearly pissed himself in fright. "Holy hell, are you even human?! Lie down, quick, lie down! Don't move!"

"I'm really alright..." Wang Meng said with a smile.

"Nonsense! Your bones are showing! You think stopping the bleeding is enough? What if it gets infected? Even if you're a Cultivator, you have to be careful of the ever-present Gu-like parasites. Once they latch onto you, that wound will never heal."

Gu-like parasites were a type of pathogen, invisible to the naked eye, that floated in the air. Only a Pill Master's special Magic could reveal their form. They were the greatest threat to a Cultivator after suffering a physical injury.

Since it was a threat, Cultivators naturally had ways to deal with it. The old Pill Master shook his head. "Young man, you shouldn't be so reckless and eager to fight... Back in my day, I, Lou Qinfeng, also fought with others and ended up with a lingering injury. I've never been able to advance in my entire life since. My junior brother, who was less skilled than me, is now in a high position, while I'm still stuck at the bottom..."

Elder Alchemist Lou was a bit of a windbag, but his nagging was all well-intentioned advice.

Wang Meng smiled. 'The Great Dao is ruthless; if one does not contend, one is doomed to a life of mediocrity.' Of course, this was a case of different paths for different people. Elder Alchemist Lou's path was merely to secure a respectable position. Master Wang's path was the path of defying the heavens to achieve godhood.
