Chapter 566 Comprehending Yin and Yang, Breaking Through the Formation
Chu Yang staggered back a few steps, barely managing to regain his balance.
He then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the metallic taste spreading in his mouth, which fueled Chu Yang's anger even more.
"Guang Chengzi, that's all you're capable of! All you do is rely on your magic weapons to launch sneak attacks!"
Guang Chengzi's grin widened: "Chu Yang, you dare to be so stubborn even when you're about to die! Today, I'll show you the power of a sage's divine abilities!"
Having said that, the twin swords in his hands shone brightly, their sword energy crisscrossing and transforming into countless golden rays that swept towards Chu Yang, covering the sky and the earth.
Outside the Yin-Yang Dust Formation, the Tongtian Sect Leader, seeing Chu Yang in such a disheveled state, his beard and hair bristling, roared angrily, "Yuanshi! Your disciples are so despicable, bullying the weak with their superior strength, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Yuanshi Tianzun remained calm and composed, saying indifferently, "Senior Brother Tongtian, please be patient. This formation was newly created by my senior brother Laozi and is called the Two Elements Micro Dust Formation. It is only being revealed for the first time today, and its mysteries are boundless. Even you and I may not be able to see through it at a glance, let alone a mere Chu Yang?"
"Furthermore, who says they can't attack each other? If Chu Yang has the ability, he can certainly attack Guang Chengzi. Even if he kills Guang Chengzi, I won't say a word!"
"You!" Tongtian exclaimed angrily, "Yuanshi! Guangchengzi is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, while Chuyang is now a True Immortal. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!"
"That's precisely why I told Guang Chengzi to restrain himself and forbade him from using the jade ruyi to attack Chu Yang! Don't worry, Guang Chengzi knows what he's doing and won't kill him!"
When Tongtian repeatedly referred to Yuanshi as the Primordial Beginning, even Yuanshi Tianzun became enraged.
The Grand Master of Heaven sneered, "Hmph! I think it's because your disciple is less skilled that he resorted to such underhanded tactics!"
Laozi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze profound, as if he could see through everything. He did not advise Yuanshi to restrain himself, but instead said, "Junior Brother Tongtian, this formation is not without flaws; it simply requires a bit of luck to comprehend. If Chu Yang has great fortune, he may be able to break through the formation. Within my formation, I can guarantee his safety!"
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt somewhat relieved and began to carefully observe the changes within the formation.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
Anyway, he had already made up his mind that if Chu Yang was in danger, he would risk admitting defeat to save Chu Yang!
Amidst the array of sword lights, Chu Yang's eyes grew increasingly clear.
In the face of life and death, he actually calmed down.
The Yin-Yang Dust Array, where Yin and Yang energies intertwine and flow, appears chaotic and disorderly, but in reality, it aligns with the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Way.
He had been so distracted by Guang Chengzi's attacks and the changes in the formation that he had overlooked the essence of the formation.
At this moment, Chu Yang calmed down and carefully observed the changes in the Yin and Yang energies around him. Combining this with his own understanding of the laws of space and time, he actually managed to vaguely grasp a pattern.
The alternation of Yin and Yang, the cycle of life and death—isn't this the very mystery of time and space?
Chu Yang's heart stirred, and he began to try to integrate the laws of spacetime into his own defense.
As his understanding of the laws of spacetime deepened, the spacetime around him seemed to begin to distort.
The originally sharp sword energy became incredibly slow and its power was greatly reduced after entering the distorted spacetime around him.
"What happened?"
Guang Chengzi was startled upon seeing this.
Suddenly, he realized that his attacks had no effect on Chu Yang!
How is that possible?
At this moment, a glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes; he had completely grasped the mystery!
Fortunately, it was within this formation. If it were outside, Guang Chengzi, with his strength, could have defeated him in a single encounter.
It was within the formation that Chu Yang was given an opportunity!
After the True Immortal realm comes the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Chu Yang can now be compared to a Golden Immortal, but no matter how monstrous he is, he can never be a match for Guang Chengzi, who is in the late stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Chu Yang smirked coldly: "Guang Chengzi, thank you for your 'guidance,' which allowed me to grasp the essence of this formation!"
It was precisely because Guang Chengzi was familiar with this formation that his attacks seemed to originate from the same source as the formation. If Chu Yang were to directly comprehend this formation, he might not be able to grasp its intricacies so easily!
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Guang Chengzi's heart. He stopped bothering Chu Yang and turned to fly towards the edge of the formation.
He had to break out of the formation as soon as possible, otherwise if Chu Yang beat him to it, his master would lose all face!
The space-time around Chu Yang was distorted, like a huge vortex, which swallowed up all the incoming sword energy.
Guang Chengzi's expression changed drastically. He began to realize that Chu Yang had probably found the key to breaking the formation.
"Damn it! How did this kid grasp it so quickly?"
Chu Yang glanced at Guang Chengzi, whose movements were slightly flustered, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Trying to break the formation now? Too late!"
After that, Chu Yang ignored Guang Chengzi and focused all his attention on comprehending the formation.
The Yin-Yang Array, where Yin and Yang energies intertwine and life and death cycle, contains the mysteries of time and space.
Chu Yang incorporated the spacetime laws, which he had not fully comprehended, into his attacks, attempting to find a flaw in the formation.
The yin and yang energies within the formation surged and churned, like two giant dragons intertwining and tearing at each other.
Chu Yang was in the midst of it all, feeling the distortion and changes in space and time. He felt as if he were in a huge vortex, and could be swallowed up at any moment.
"puff!"
Chu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler.
In order to comprehend the mysteries of the formation, he forcibly endured several sword energies, and his body was severely injured once again.
But his eyes gleamed with excitement, for he had found the flaw in the formation!
"That's it!"
Chu Yang's gaze locked onto the core of the formation, where the yin and yang energies converged to form a tiny node—that was the formation's eye!
Chu Yang took a deep breath and poured all the remaining immortal power in his body into the sword in his hand.
The sword shone brightly and emitted a clear, ringing sound.
"break!"
Chu Yang roared, and the sword in his hand transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight towards the center of the formation.
"boom!"
A loud bang was heard, and the entire formation shook violently, with Yin and Yang energies pouring out like a flood bursting its banks.
This Yin-Yang Dust Array, which Lao Tzu only recently comprehended, is broken!
Chu Yang and Guang Chengzi were both thrown out of the formation.
Chu Yang's injuries were aggravated by forcibly breaking the formation, and he fell unconscious upon landing. He managed to bow slightly to the Tongtian Sect Leader before collapsing to the ground.
Although Guang Chengzi was a beat too slow, he still managed to escape in time, though he looked a little disheveled.
Looking at the unconscious Chu Yang, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately flew to Chu Yang's side and helped him up.
After examining Chu Yang's injuries, he frowned.
"This kid, he's really courting death..."
The Tongtian Sect Leader spoke in a low voice, his eyes filled with remorse.
As a disciple, he was risking his life to break the formation for the Jie Sect, but his master could do nothing.
Chu Yang's breakthrough from the formation greatly boosted his prestige. This was a formation set up by a sage, and although it was only recently created, its power should not be underestimated.
In other words, Chu Yang essentially slapped the sage Yuanshi Tianzun in the face.
It thoroughly humiliated Yuan Shi!
Yuanshi Tianzun walked over, looked at the unconscious Chu Yang, and showed a complex expression on his face.
There was even a hint of annoyance in it!
He never expected that Chu Yang would actually break through the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array.
"Junior Brother Tongtian, it seems your disciple is quite fortunate."
The tone of the Primordial Celestial Venerable carried a hint of sarcasm.
The Master of Heaven snorted coldly: "Of course! My disciples are no ordinary people. Unlike you, Sage Yuanshi, whose countless schemes have all come to naught!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader used magic to lift Chu Yang up, then turned and left, leaving Yuanshi Tianzun with a cold, distant back view.
Guang Chengzi stood to the side, his face gloomy and his fists clenched.
Inside Biyou Palace, a misty purple aura swirled, and celestial music filled the air.
The Tongtian Sect Leader gently placed the unconscious Chu Yang on the jade bed, his brows furrowed.
Chu Yang's face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, and there were many deep wounds on his body that exposed the bone. The blood that had seeped out had dried, and the sight was shocking.
"This kid is really courting death!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader sighed softly, then formed a hand seal, and a surge of powerful magic power flowed into Chu Yang's body like a tide, repairing his broken meridians and damaged primordial spirit.
Before long, Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, and other core disciples of the Jie Sect arrived upon hearing the news. Seeing Chu Yang's appearance, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
"Master! This Chan Sect is going too far!" Daoist Duobao roared, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
"Guang Chengzi clearly entered the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array. My senior master is too biased!" Jinling Shengmu also looked indignant.
"If it weren't for Junior Brother Chu Yang's great fortune, he would probably have already lost his life!" The Holy Mother of Wudang's eyes were filled with lingering fear.
The disciples condemned the despicable actions of the Chan Sect, their emotions running high, and they seemed ready to storm the Jade Void Palace to demand an explanation.
The Tongtian Sect Leader raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice, "I have my own plan for this matter, and you need not act rashly."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "I will definitely settle this score with Senior Brother Yuanshi!"
After saying that, he took out a golden pill that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance and personally fed it to Chu Yang.
The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a stream of pure energy that flowed throughout Chu Yang's body, nourishing his internal organs.
The Tongtian Sect Leader then used his own magical power to help him refine the medicinal properties and stabilize his injuries.
Three days later, Chu Yang slowly woke up.
He felt sore all over, as if he had been run over.
"Master..." Chu Yang called out weakly.
"It's good that you're awake." The Tongtian Sect Leader felt somewhat relieved to see that he had woken up.
"This disciple is incompetent and has caused Master worry."
Chu Yang struggled to get up, but was held down by the Tongtian Sect Leader.
"Get some rest, don't worry about anything else."
The Master of the Heavens said gently, "Rest assured and recover from your injuries. I will be right back."
The Master of the Heavens left Biyou Palace and went straight to Yuxu Palace.
In the Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Celestial Venerable and Laozi are playing chess.
"Junior brother, how is Chu Yang?" Laozi placed a piece on the board and asked calmly.
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly: "He shouldn't die."
Lao Tzu stroked his beard, glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun, and said with some dissatisfaction, "It's good that you're not dead! It's just that my newly created Yin-Yang Dust Array was actually broken by a True Immortal."
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly and didn't reply.
He wished Chu Yang would die in the formation! How could he swallow such an insult when a mere True Immortal Realm human disciple dared to ruin his plans?
Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader strode in, his face terribly gloomy.
His gaze was like a knife, shooting straight at Yuanshi Tianzun. His body was filled with murderous aura, and the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped a few degrees.
"Yuanshi!" The Tongtian Sect Leader's tone was icy, laced with suppressed rage. "I've been mindful of my disciples and haven't settled accounts with you yet. Now, tell me, what does this mean?!"
Yuanshi Tianzun put down the chess piece in his hand, feigning composure, and asked, "What do you mean by that, Junior Brother?"
"The Two Elements Dust Array—how many times has Guang Chengzi entered it?! His attacks subtly conform to the array's formation; don't tell me he figured it out on his own!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader roared, his voice booming like a bell, causing the glazed tiles of the Jade Void Palace to tremble slightly.
The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning's expression changed slightly, but he still stubbornly argued, "It was indeed he who comprehended it, what's wrong with that? Your disciple Chu Yang can comprehend the method of breaking the formation, why can't my disciple?"
"Could he figure it out on his own?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader sneered, "I think you let Guang Chengzi familiarize himself with the formation beforehand so he could gain an advantage in the competition! My disciple, Chu Yang, almost lost his life trying to break the formation! You think you can just brush this off with a casual 'he figured it out himself'?!"
Seeing that Tongtian was indeed extremely angry, Laozi sighed and said, "Junior Brother Tongtian, please calm down. I believe Junior Brother Yuanshi did not mean it that way..."
Whether he intended it or not, he knows perfectly well in his heart!
The Tongtian Sect Leader completely ignored Laozi, pointing his finger at Yuanshi Tianzun and cursing, "Yuanshi, you always boast that all the disciples of the Chan Sect are excellent, yet now you resort to such despicable means. Aren't you afraid of disgracing the Sages!"
Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned ashen. How could he tolerate being scolded by Tongtian Jiaozhu?
Yuanshi abruptly stood up, angrily shouting, "Tongtian, stop making baseless accusations! We disciples of the Chan Sect are upright and honorable; how could we do such a despicable thing?!"
"Upright and honest? Ha!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader, enraged, laughed coldly. "Ask your good disciple Guang Chengzi if he dares to swear before the Heavenly Dao that he has never entered the Yin-Yang Dust Array?"
Guang Chengzi stood behind Yuanshi Tianzun, his face turning pale and then red, his lips trembling, but he dared not speak.
"What? You're too scared to speak?" The Tongtian Sect Leader pressed closer, his aura intimidating. "A guilty conscience needs no accuser! Yuanshi, what a fine disciple you've taught!"
Yuanshi Tianzun, having been forced into a corner by Tongtian Jiaozhu, angrily retorted, "Tongtian, you've gone too far! Do you truly wish to fight me?!"
The two were on the verge of a fight, their swords drawn.
"Junior Brother Tongtian, it was I who allowed Guangchengzi to enter the Two Elements Micro Dust Array!" Laozi suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader paused, his sharp gaze shifting to Laozi. The anger in his eyes subsided slightly, but a hint of doubt remained: "Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Laozi slowly rose, sighed, and said, "Junior brother, don't blame Yuanshi. This was indeed my idea."
He stroked his beard, his expression calm. "The Two Elements Dust Array is a new creation of mine. Its mysteries and variations are countless, and even a sage would find it difficult to comprehend them in a short time. Guang Chengzi is exceptionally intelligent, so I let him enter the array in advance to familiarize himself with it, so that it may be of some help in the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods in the future."
The Master of Heaven sneered, "Help? I think it's cheating! You let Guang Chengzi familiarize himself with the formation, but my disciple almost lost his life in it. Is this your senior brother's way of being fair?"
Laozi remained calm, as if it were none of his business: "Junior brother, you are exaggerating. Chu Yang is very fortunate. Although he was trapped in the formation, he is safe and sound. This is the will of Heaven."
Tongtian: "My disciple is now on the verge of death, what should we do?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable glanced at him sideways, his tone arrogant: "If your skills are inferior, who can you blame?"
"Inferior in skill?" The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed angrily. "Senior Brother, have you forgotten our previous agreement? The Two Elements Dust Formation has already been broken by my Jie Sect disciples. What else does your Chan Sect have to say?"
Seeing this, Laozi advised, "Junior brother, please calm down. Guangchengzi did indeed go too far. However, Chu Yang is unharmed, so why not let it go?" (End of Chapter)
