第一百八十四章 阴阳诀

Just now, Lin Xuan had only read through half of the *True Scripture of Profound Yin and Evil*. Now he finished browsing the remaining part.

At the end of the cultivation technique, it actually recorded a secret method for transforming yin and yang. After practicing this divine power, one could freely convert their essence qi between yin and yang within their body.

In other words, this broke the restriction that ghost cultivators couldn't practice ordinary cultivator techniques. Lin Xuan's obstacle in refining *The True Scripture of Profound Yin and Evil* was now removed.

It truly felt like being at a dead end only to find a new path. The joy in Lin Xuan's heart was obvious, so he quickly sank his spirit awareness back into it to carefully experience the yin-yang secret technique.

However, just a moment later, Lin Xuan's brows tightened together in worry. After another while, he sighed and stood up.

Empty joy; this *Yin-Yang Art* turned out to be only fragments. The *True Scripture of Profound Yin and Evil* recorded the latter half of this secret technique, with the first half lost.

At the end, Lin Xuan even saw notes from the Heavenly Demon Tyrant's master.

It was said that this secret technique wasn't created by his sect but obtained by chance during a visit to an ancient cultivator's cave by his master.

Lin Xuan nodded. Such a divine power must be the work of an ancient cultivator.

However, there weren't just his master present at the time; several old monsters in the late-stage spirit root stage were also there. Facing such a secret technique, everyone naturally coveted it and fought to seize it.

Although the Heavenly Demon Tyrant's master was indeed formidable, which old monster wasn't a cunning one? After a breathtaking battle, his master only managed to grab the latter half of *Yin-Yang Art*. The first half was taken by an unknown sword cultivator who disappeared without a trace.

Later on, when his master recovered from his injuries, he traveled throughout Zhao State in search of the upper part of the *Yin-Yang Art*, but came up empty-handed. Depressed and melancholy, he was ambushed by his rebellious disciple, Evil Tyrant Sovereign...

The rest detailed their family grudges, which Lin Xuan naturally wasn't interested in, so he skipped over it. Putting down the fragments, he felt truly depressed.

It really had been a bumpy road, but this was the result.

Although the Heavenly Demon Tyrant's notes provided some clues, that was five hundred years ago. Back then, they couldn't find any trace of that sword cultivator either. As for himself...

Even if one found it, what would be the use? The other party was a late-stage spirit root expert. In front of such absolute power, his little cleverness wouldn't work. Not only could he not obtain the upper part of *Yin-Yang Art*, but the result would likely be delivering a lamb to the tiger's mouth.

Of course, so much time had passed that the late-stage spirit root expert might have already entered Nirvana, and the fragments might have fallen into others' hands. But still, no clues.

This *Yin-Yang Art* was essentially useless with only half of it.

Lin Xuan remained silent for a while before picking up the fragment again. Even though he couldn't practice this incomplete *Yin-Yang Art*, there was no harm in reading it.

Everyone has curiosity, and Lin Xuan wasn't an exception. He wanted to know what kind of divine power could convert yin and yang essence qi. Ancient cultivators truly had vast powers.

After a while, Lin Xuan's face showed a strange expression—confusion, doubt, surprise, but mostly disbelief.

This *Yin-Yang Art* seemed familiar to him, although he was certain that the cultivation technique recorded in these fragments hadn't been seen by him. But... how could it be? It seemed very similar to some technique he had once seen, as if they were of the same lineage.

Could...

A strange light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He sank his spirit awareness into his storage bracelet and began searching.

After a moment, he took out a jade cylinder with a green hue. Without hesitation, he started examining it.

The cultivation technique recorded in this jade cylinder was ordinary—"Thunder Art," which Lin Xuan obtained from Lei Ao during the condensation conference.

It was just an ordinary technique of the Fourth Rank Sword Sect "Thunder Sword School." It could be described as trash.

If someone else had gotten their hands on it, they might have thrown it away. But Lin Xuan's thoughts were different. Although this Thunder Art was ordinary, it strangely wasn't stored in a jade cylinder but kept with precious materials like the Mother of Alchemical Iron, which suggested there must be some hidden meaning behind it.

Therefore, Lin Xuan had specially copied it using a jade cylinder.

Before, he had studied it several times but never made any progress. Gradually, he forgot about it and stored the jade cylinder in a corner of his storage bracelet.

But just now, Lin Xuan suddenly noticed that some of the Thunder Art's techniques were quite similar to this lower half of *Yin-Yang Art*. They seemed to be from the same source.

Although he found this too absurd, Lin Xuan naturally didn't want to overlook any clues. He quickly compared and studied both cultivation techniques...

Another day and night passed without him noticing.

"Phew!" Lin Xuan stretched lazily. Even cultivators couldn't avoid feeling tired after staying awake for so long. Rubbing his dry eyes, he was filled with excitement.

Finding what one had been searching for without much effort—this trash technique "Thunder Art" really contained the upper part of *Yin-Yang Art*.

Of course, it wasn't the entire Thunder Art but just a few opening phrases in each section that together formed the upper half of Yin-Yang Art.

Hiding such an extraordinary secret within a trash cultivation technique was indeed a good strategy.

It was unclear whether this late-stage spirit root sword cultivator did it or how the incomplete *Yin-Yang Art* ended up with the Fourth Rank Sword Sect.

There were many twists and secrets, but Lin Xuan wasn't interested. After experiencing numerous ups and downs, he finally obtained this divine power that could convert yin and yang essence qi.

He was extremely happy and didn't rest. He began organizing *Yin-Yang Art*, picking out relevant parts from Thunder Art, reassembling the upper half, then extending his hand to retrieve a blank jade cylinder. After carving it with both fragments, he obtained the complete Yin-Yang Art.
