Chapter 2500: The Heavenly Witch Immortal Maiden and the Great Completion Realm of Illusory Celestial Fire

"What?!"

Lin Xuan's face showed a great deal of surprise. He then nodded, "If Senior Xuan Ice said so, it must be correct."

After all, an avatar and its original form, apart from differing in strength, would definitely have identical memories at the beginning.

In other words, Fragrant Girl's benefactor, when it came to experience, was no less than the original form of Elder Xuan Ice. If he said this ice block was formed by primordial Yin energy, then that must be how it is.

Lin Xuan closed his eyes.

He had once read about Primordial Yin Energy in ancient texts. At this moment, relevant information flowed through his mind.

Legend has it that at the beginning of the chaos, all planes were a void. As阴阳energies gradually emerged from the primordial state, myriad things came into being.

Thus, there is the saying: "Dao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Two give birth to Three; and Three give birth to all things."

All things carry Yin within them while embracing Yang, and their interaction creates harmony.

Therefore, these阴阳energies are considered the mothers of myriad things.

Of course, this is merely legend. No one knows for sure whether the universe and its myriad things were formed by these energies. Even true immortals would be somewhat confused when trying to explain it.

However, there's no doubt about one thing:

These primordial Yin and Yang energies at the beginning of chaos are undoubtedly extraordinary.

Through countless years, from the formation of all planes to now, pure Yin and Yang energies have become extremely rare.

Not only are they not found in the Three Realms, but even in the most advanced true immortal realms, it's almost impossible to find traces of them.

As for Primordial Yin Energy, legend says that it is the closest existing thing to primordial Yin and Yang energies.

According to long-standing tradition, these energies evolved from Yin energy within the primordial Yin and Yang energies. Although they no longer give birth to myriad things, they still have countless uses.

For Lin Xuan, this was a dream come true.

Now, through sheer luck and effort, he had gathered all parts of the Black Moon Heavenly Witch Art's cultivation technique, from the initial stages to those that require transcending tribulations.

Although the part about transcending tribulations hasn't been practiced yet, at least he could have a preliminary look at it.

The supernatural powers described in Illusory Celestial Fire within this technique are undoubtedly among the best.

---

Even though the flames Lin Xuan currently cultivates already possess formidable power, compared to the state described in the technique's advanced stage, there is still an unbridgeable gap.

To use the phrase "heaven and earth apart" would be entirely appropriate.

Was it because Lin Xuan wasn't putting in effort?

The answer was clearly no!

Lin Xuan's resolve to follow the Dao was firm. When had he ever slackened during cultivation?

Was it due to insufficient luck or fortune?

Looking at this from that perspective, it also didn't hold water.

In less than two thousand years, from a novice in the immortal arts to a great cultivator of the Shen State, although not unprecedented, his achievements were still praiseworthy.

Apart from Lin Xuan's efforts, who could say he lacked fortune?

If even Lin Xuan was considered someone with insufficient luck among cultivators, then others had no reason to exist.

However, Illusory Celestial Fire remained unattainable despite its advanced state.

In the end, it came down to the fact that reaching that level required overly stringent conditions.

Even for Lin Xuan, let alone the Black Moon Clan, which had declined but once thrived millions of years ago. Although this technique's cultivation requirements were strict, there were many intelligent and talented witchmasters in the clan who had attempted it.

However, no one had ever managed to reach the advanced stage of Illusory Celestial Fire.

Not even the Heavenly Witch Immortal Maiden had succeeded.

It was known that as the undisputed strongest figure recorded by the Black Moon Clan, the Heavenly Witch Immortal Maiden's strength could not be doubted.

The description of this maiden in the Black Moon Heavenly Witch Art was very simple and clearly added later.

Legend said that at her peak, she single-handedly faced two out of the three scattered immortals and still had plenty left. She didn't fall short by any means.

This might seem unbelievable, but upon careful analysis, it made sense.

After all, when the Black Moon Clan was at its zenith, there was only one super-strong figure—she—and she could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with human and beast clans. If this Heavenly Witch Immortal Maiden lacked extraordinary abilities, it would have been impossible.

Moreover, her disappearance might even be related to the decline of the Black Moon Clan. If not for her mysterious disappearance after an outing, the Spirit Realm would likely still be dominated by humans and beasts, or at least, there would be a place for this clan.

As for such a powerful figure vanishing without a trace, only heaven knew why.

However, the elders of the Black Moon Clan speculated that it was almost certainly related to true immortals.

---

After all, with her unparalleled appearance, besides high-ranking immortals from upper planes, who else could silently and effectively erase her existence? And if she were alive, how could she not return when the clan faced great calamity?

Even such an extraordinary figure failed to achieve the advanced stage of Illusory Celestial Fire.

Thus, this result was clearly not due to talent, effort, or luck.

Instead, it was because the cultivation requirements for Illusory Celestial Fire were too stringent.

To reach that advanced realm, two things were essential: Yin and Yang energies!

Of course, they didn't necessarily have to be those from the primordial state; even later evolved forms could work.

For example, Primordial Yin Energy and Primordial Pure Yang Energy.

However, these were still extremely rare in the cultivation world. Their rarity was no less than any treasure.

Still, their status differed from that of treasures.

Anyone would want such extraordinary treasures, even if they couldn't use them themselves, they could sell them on markets or auctions.

But for most cultivators, Primordial Yin and Yang Energies were useless and potentially dangerous. Even if someone happened to come across them by chance, the question wasn't whether they could collect them but whether they could even survive.

Thus, despite the Black Moon Clan's efforts, they couldn't gather Yin and Yang energies.

As a result, Illusory Celestial Fire remained unattained at its advanced stage.

How formidable was the advanced Illusory Celestial Fire?

It was described vaguely in the Black Moon Heavenly Witch Art because no one had ever reached that level. The Heavenly Witch Immortal Maiden hadn't done so, and neither had the technique's creator.

In short, the last part of this secret art’s cultivation method was purely a product of intelligence and imagination. Whether there were any errors or not was debatable.

However, in the Black Moon Heavenly Witch Art, there was one description of its power:
