Chapter 1584: Chapter 656: Master Realm

Yang Energy!

Yang energy likes high places, likes brightness, likes circulation, likes places thriving with vitality.

Yang energy can drive away coldness and dispel filth, can rejuvenate and restore life, can manifest and illuminate objects.

Excessive yang energy can scorch the Divine Soul like fiery fire burning paper.

If yang energy is too superficial, it cannot retain vitality like water flowing over stone.

If yang energy is too scattered, it merely has the semblance of light and heat, difficult to form a stable foundation.

The apprentice level of the Yang Path allows Ning Zhuo to become familiar with the operation of yang energy, and understand various aspects related to the yang attributes of spiritual materials.

Ning Zhuo feels neither the slightest surprise nor any sense of pride.

The Pure Yang Ancestor Master Pill continuously emits medicinal power, transforming into the vigorous Pure Yang True Intent in his Upper Dantian Divine Sea.

Scenes seem to emerge before Ning Zhuo’s eyes.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, all things bowing their heads under its radiance. The furnace fire rolls like a dragon inside the chamber, the pill liquid agitating like boiling in the cauldron. Red gold slowly melts on the forging table, then solidifies quickly in cold water, emitting clusters of white steam...

Warm wind blows over frozen fingers, the fingertips regaining their color, like dead wood reviving in spring. Spring thunder rolls through the heavy clouds, deep and distant, exploding a tender green bud at the tip of a dead branch post-thunder. Blood Qi surges and churns in a patient’s chest, making him suddenly stand up from the bedside, his once dull eyes shining brightly again!

Scorching sun, furnace fire, red gold, warm wind, spring thunder, Blood Qi—all elements of the Yang Path!

Ning Zhuo made rapid progress, soon breaking through from the apprentice level to the craftsman level.

Ning Zhuo’s mind quickly clears up: If he were given a Pill Furnace now, he could rely on intuition to manipulate Earth Core Fire, True Sun Fire and other types of Yang Fire, mastering basic temperature control.

If tasked with handling a Magic Artifact tainted by yin corrosion, he could use yang energy to gently warm and cleanse, dispelling the lurking cold, making the Spiritual Pattern within the artifact smooth as before.

If encountering a cultivator with depleted yang energy, he could discern whether the depletion is in the flesh, in the soul, or in the yang lifespan Qi Mechanism.

A craftsman observes Yang specifically and practically. It falls in controlling each instance of fire control, in handling every piece of material, and within every rune’s lines.

Continue.

Ning Zhuo continues to advance with great strides, greedily absorbing Pure Yang True Intent.

This time, the difficulty suddenly escalates!

The temperature seems to soar in the Divine Sea Upper Dantian, countless tiny mirrors unable to withstand, rapidly melting under the scour of True Intent.

Ning Zhuo slightly frowns, feeling a burning heat within his brow.

Above craftsman is Master Level. Among those who reach this tier, scarcely one in a hundred.

Ning Zhuo’s attempt to breakthrough in such a short time, as if crashing headlong into a huge, invisible high wall.

At this moment, his Five Elements Realm brings assistance!

Wood produces Fire, Fire produces Earth, Earth produces Metal, Metal produces Water, Water produces Wood.

Five Elements Cycle!

The True Intent of the Five Elements unfolds in the Divine Sea—

Green wood light emerges from the edge of the mirror sea, spreading upward like spring vines, wielding the force of growth, supporting the initial rise of yang energy, like spring grasses breaking through the earth, offering the early stir for Yang.

Red fire light immediately bursts forth, the fire-attribute brightness and heat illuminating all directions, vividly displaying the external semblance of the Yang Path.

Light signifies manifestation, heat signifies movement, upward fire tongue signifies rise!

Yellow earth light heavily descends, as if the earth unfolds, stably holding those erratic gold glimmers, yang energy pressed by the earth attribute immediately finds root, no longer floating aimlessly like dust without owner.

White metal light subsequently gathers like a sword returning to its sheath, or an elixir pill forming, pressing the over-dispersed light and heat of yang fire into one point, forming a pill, forming a rune, forming an artifact, preventing empty dissipation.

Black water light flows last, gentle and inclusive, softly taming yang’s agitation, those gold lights nearly scorched by mirrors are gently encircled by water intent, instantly softening, becoming lasting, dense, controllable like a spring brook.

Ning Zhuo uses the Five Elements as a bridge, methodically dissecting, dispersing, and absorbing the imperious and unmatched True Intent of the Yang Path from the Pure Yang Ancestor Master Pill.

A blazing sun was dismantled into spring thunder, furnace fire, warm wind, red gold, Blood Qi, and then from these concrete images, he reinduced the inherent rules.

The manifestation of Yang is to bring hidden things to light.

The movement of Yang is to awaken the Qi Mechanism from silence.

The rise of Yang is to cause the lower realms’ Qi to ascend.

The illumination of Yang is to touch shadows with light, allowing sinister spirits, ailment Qi, and turbid thoughts to find no asylum.

The stirring of Yang is to awaken vitality, causing medicinal properties to ascend, causing Blood Qi to revive, causing the Artifact Embryo to self-heat, giving rune patterns the tendency of autonomous operation.

Manifestation, Movement, Rise, Illumination, Stirring!

An apprentice merely understands Yang, a craftsman can utilize Yang, whereas a Master must comprehend the internal rules of yang attributes, understanding why Yang manifests, how it moves, on what basis it rises, and in what way it illuminates and stimulates all things.

This is no longer mere accumulation of experience but touches the deeper veins of the Yang Path, like craftsmen shifting from carving wooden objects to perceiving the growth rings and posture of the timber.

Without the Pure Yang Ancestor Master Pill, merely relying on his own cultivation, Ning Zhuo would need to spend many years, pass through countless Pill Furnaces, Arrays, sickbeds, and battlefields to slowly probe this threshold.

Ning Zhuo groans softly, a trace of crimson blood oozing from his nose.

The multitude of small mirrors has been nearly completely depleted, and even the colossal mirrors of heaven and earth are gradually melting, showing clear signs of severe strain.

Ning Zhuo overcomes greed and decisively pauses!

Once, in Liangzhu Country, amidst the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, he was too eager for success and suffered minor setbacks. Now, learning from past mistakes, he avoids repeating similar errors.

Half-step Master Level!

Carrying this immense achievement, he slowly opens his eyes.

The Pure Yang Ancestor Master Pill was "expelled" by him, reverting to its ordinary, gray stone-like state.
