Now that the little stone spirit had completed its advancement and comprehended the True Intent of the Sun, Qi Ping devoted all his energy to comprehending the True Intent of the Moon.
The True Intent of the Moon truly lived up to its reputation as one of the most difficult law intents to comprehend. Even just the first level was extraordinarily hard to grasp. If not for Qi Ping’s incredibly high soul comprehension talent, the process would have been extremely difficult.
Fortunately, with the Dark Moon Soul Tree and the Night Soul Tree as aids, Qi Ping’s speed in comprehending the True Intent of the Moon was within an acceptable range.
Even so, Qi Ping estimated it would still take at least five or six more years.
However, while fully immersed in studying Yin-Yang knowledge, Qi Ping discovered that comprehending the Five Elements True Intent seemed to greatly help with understanding the Yin-Yang True Intent.
“Why not comprehend the Five Elements True Intent first, then use the Five Elements True Intent and the Sun True Intent to work backward toward the Yin-Yang True Intent? That way, I might not only fully penetrate the Yin-Yang True Intent but also grasp more mysteries of Five Elements fusion and Yin-Yang fusion along the way. My Yin-Yang foundation and Yin-Yang Golden Core might then be even more perfect…”
Once he had thought it through, Qi Ping wasted no time and immediately began comprehending the True Intent of Wood and the True Intent of Earth.
Although he didn’t currently have the corresponding wood or earth constitution, his absurdly high soul comprehension talent meant that comprehending these two most fundamental law intents wasn’t too difficult.
Just as Golden Core completion stage or Nascent Soul cultivators find it relatively easy to comprehend multiple law intents, what truly challenges Golden Core completion cultivators is how to comprehend law intents to the second realm.
At the Golden Core completion level, comprehending first-realm law intents doesn’t contribute much to combat strength and instead wastes time that could be spent on one’s primary cultivation law.
But this was different for Qi Ping. Yin-Yang and the Five Elements were the path he had decided to cultivate, so comprehending the True Intent of Wood and the True Intent of Earth could only benefit him, with no drawbacks.
And so Qi Ping spent over two years fully comprehending the True Intent of Wood and the True Intent of Earth!
At this point, Qi Ping had comprehended all Five Elements True Intents to completion!
The very instant Qi Ping completed his comprehension of the Five Elements True Intent, waves of insight about the Five Elements True Intent and the Yin-Yang True Intent began surging forth from his mind.
The vast knowledge from the enormous number of books Qi Ping had read over the past decades also surfaced all at once!
Decades of accumulation rapidly began to integrate and flow together, and streams of never-before-experienced insights and inspirations kept emerging in Qi Ping’s heart!
Epiphany!
The effect of [Heaven and Earth’s Favor] activated once again!
After that thought flashed through his mind, Qi Ping sank entirely into the state of comprehension.
At that moment, Qi Ping’s entire physical body and soul began to merge with heaven and earth—he had directly entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man!
Gradually, as time passed, the True Intent of Metal began to manifest around Qi Ping, followed by the True Intent of Wood, the True Intent of Water, the True Intent of Fire, and the True Intent of Earth…
Among these intents, Qi Ping’s Fire True Intent was the strongest, followed by Water and Metal, with Wood and Earth being the weakest.
But as time passed, the strength of the Wood True Intent and Earth True Intent rapidly rose, and the Five Elements True Intents also began to gradually fuse together from being clearly distinct from one another.
A dazzling five-colored spiritual energy began to swirl around Qi Ping!
And as the intensity and fusion of these five types of spiritual energy grew higher and higher, an ultimate solar spiritual power suddenly erupted!
Like a small sun piercing through the night sky—if not for the formation isolating it, the spirit farmers on the Cloud Mist Mountain Range would likely have discovered it. Before long, rumors of a rare treasure appearing would spread, and countless cultivators would rush to sweep through the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
However, isolated by the formation that Qi Ping had reinforced multiple times, it naturally wouldn’t leak out and cause a bunch of trouble. After all, what Qi Ping feared most was his territory being exposed, so he had been continuously increasing the formation’s strength. Forget about leaked spiritual energy—even Qi Ping himself going all out couldn’t blast his way out.
The instant this powerful solar spiritual power appeared, Crow was completely shocked, because this power felt extremely formidable and extraordinary even to it.
As the solar spiritual power gradually filled Qi Ping’s surroundings, at a certain moment, a lunar spiritual power suddenly emerged from the center of the solar spiritual power!
A trace of the Moon True Intent also broke through from within the flourishing Sun True Intent.
As time passed, the lunar spiritual power grew stronger and stronger, gradually closing the gap with the Sun True Intent.
And once the gap between them shrank to a certain degree, they too began to fuse!
Yin-Yang spiritual power and Yin-Yang True Intent—success!
When a black-and-white spiritual energy wheel rose above Qi Ping’s body, an incomparably terrifying pressure instantly swept across all directions!
Even Crow, at second-tier completion, felt somewhat uncomfortable—this was the first time it had faced such powerful pressure from someone at the same tier!
But after the Yin-Yang spiritual power and Yin-Yang True Intent on Qi Ping’s body fully fused, the Unity of Heaven and Man state didn’t stop—instead, the Dao resonance became even richer!
Insights into spells like the Sun Radiance and Moon Shadow Art, the Yin-Yang Chess, the Yin-Yang Dharma Seal, the Creation Yin-Yang Mystic Art… and many others kept surfacing in Qi Ping’s mind, rapidly being comprehended under the enhancement of the Yin-Yang True Intent.
Gradually, under Qi Ping’s guidance, a new cultivation technique rapidly took shape, and the Water-Fire Dao foundation within Qi Ping’s body began to rapidly transform…
The spiritual energy across the territory also frantically surged into Qi Ping’s body at this moment!
“Comprehend the Five Elements, fuse Yin-Yang.”
“Merit participates in creation—can fuse Yin-Yang, can transform the Five Elements.”
“Then I shall name it the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture!”
Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture (Foundation Establishment Chapter)!
“Hahahaha, what a Heaven and Earth’s Favor!”
“What an epiphany!”
Qi Ping didn’t know how much time had passed. When he regained awareness, he found that he had thoroughly comprehended the Yin-Yang Five Elements True Intent!
Even the accumulation of insights into cultivation techniques from the past decades had erupted at this moment, producing the strongest technique Qi Ping currently possessed: the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture (Foundation Establishment Chapter)!
The most exaggerated part was that Qi Ping’s foundation had not only surpassed his previous Yin-Yang foundation at this moment, but his realm had also reached Foundation Establishment completion!
Incomparably exaggerated and powerful strength completely filled Qi Ping’s body at this moment!
“I wonder if my Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture can battle a Golden Core?”
“It’s just a pity that I’m still missing the Wood and Earth constitutions. Otherwise, if I could combine them into a Five Elements Spirit Body, the power of my Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture and Yin-Yang Five Elements True Intent could be fully unleashed!”
Still, Qi Ping was already extremely satisfied. A single epiphany had fused his accumulation to such a level—decades of effort well spent!
And it was even more worth it given that Qi Ping had actively fought powerful enemies to protect the Heaven Domain—this epiphany had truly saved him at least decades of bitter cultivation!
Qi Ping even felt that decades of bitter cultivation might not have been able to reach such a perfect state.
The things one could comprehend in that rare state of Unity of Heaven and Man were not necessarily achievable through ordinary bitter cultivation.
For instance, if Qi Ping had tried to create the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Scripture under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have been confident he could create it to such a degree!
This time, it was entirely the combination of Qi Ping’s years of accumulated effort plus the epiphany state of Unity of Heaven and Man that made today’s success possible.
Furthermore, after this epiphany, Qi Ping became even more determined to protect the Heaven Domain. No matter what, he would find a way to make this world prosper once more.
This wasn’t just because druids and formations were both based on the power of heaven and earth, but also because of the principle of mutual benefit that Qi Ping upheld.
This world had given him fortune, epiphanies, and so many other things. Although Qi Ping couldn’t yet understand exactly how heaven and earth—or the heavenly Dao—operated, he could understand the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold, and the principle of mutual benefit and win-win. This was the same principle behind how he interacted with others: only when both parties can gain sufficient benefit can a relationship truly endure and remain stable.
“Now all that’s left is the Yin-Yang Heaven Severing Formation. But since I’ve already completed the comprehension and fusion of the Five Elements True Intent, I can also consider setting up the Five Elements Birth-Destruction Formation…”
