CHAPTER 594: CHAPTER 365 DIVINE ORIGIN QUEEN’S WILL_2

It felt like sitting still for hours, but in reality, it was only a few minutes before everything slowly returned to normal. Yan Xiaobao opened his eyes, a sinister smile on his face.

Yan Xiaobao hoped to delve deeper into what allowed him to unlock the Upper Dantian, yet who would have guessed he had been blocking himself all along. Once he started running and felt the comfort of the balance between external and internal forces, he understood this was it. Wu Wei is a balance point. People need to maintain balance with the world, becoming one with it.

To become a true expert, to become a God, one must transform into nothingness. People need to become a perfect energy balance.

’Well done!’ Lan Feng’s excited voice rang in Yan Xiaobao’s heart as the young man began to laugh. Although he now knew how to unlock the Upper Dantian, he had not yet opened it. Looking around, Yan Xiaobao rushed back to his room, sat in a chair, and let his mind enter his heart. He appeared at the Lower Dantian, slowly passing through the Middle Dantian toward the Upper Dantian.

Standing at the entrance of the Upper Dantian, there was a massive door. Nine different fireballs were carved on the door. As soon as Yan Xiaobao touched it, the door seemed to vanish, transforming into golden streaks. These golden streaks all entered the room behind the door.

With a pounding heart, Yan Xiaobao stepped into the room, feeling the gentle warmth surrounding him. Before him was a pedestal, a golden sun spinning atop it. Golden brilliance constantly radiated out, making anyone inside Wendian Cave feel warm.

"You have quite a bit of martial power there," Lan Feng nodded with satisfaction, "you managed to refine some, not to mention the energy you absorbed from the holy flower bestowed by the Deng Family."

"This is incredible," Yan Xiaobao said as excitement filled his eyes when he finally broke through to the King-level.

"It is; however, you need to work hard from now on," Lan Feng warned. ’To increase energy, you need to acquire spiritual energy in the Dantian; however, there’s one more thing you need. You need to merge this spiritual energy with the Yin Yang Energy of the world around you.

"Have you ever wondered why you look like a girl and even Xiao Wu used to hit you when you were a child?" Lan Feng asked. Yan Xiaobao could sense the Phoenix’s excitement within, seeing a contented smile on his lips. This was clearly a question the Phoenix had wanted to ask for a long time, but it seemed now was not the time to do so. He had held back for eighteen years.

"Why do I look like a girl?" Yan Xiaobao was startled, partly out of curiosity and partly because he wanted to play with the bird.

"When you and I merged our souls, some of my energy flowed into your body," the Phoenix began, his voice low and slow; the smile on his face grew. "I am a Saint, so I possess a lot of Yin Yang Energy," he continued, ’Yin Energy is easier cultivated by women. As a man, you need to cultivate in a specific way to refine the energy, yet Yang Energy is most easily refined by men; you can improve it with ease.’

"However, although it’s easier to refine, you need to ensure your internal balance of Yin Yang. These energies need balance; the more balanced they are, the more you can merge with the world. When you become one with the world, your body transforms. You will no longer have a mortal body but will possess a body of a God; a relic purely created by the great powers of the Ancestor World.

"When we merged our souls, some of my power entered you, and the power that entered was all the energy within me. As you may have noticed, although I am a Saint, I’m weaker compared to many others. This is because all of my Yin Energy is within you.

"Relinquishing this energy caused my own energy to become unbalanced, but you are more important than my power. Working together like this, you will be able to restore me to my original body. At that time, I can begin cultivating again. The most important thing is to defeat An Hee, and only after he is defeated will I not feel regret in life.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao was deeply shocked. The Phoenix was actually willing to give up its own power for Yan Xiaobao, making him greatly moved.

"But just because you have my Yin Energy, it is not enough to reach the Holy Level," Lan Feng warned, ’the Yin Energy is only enough to elevate you to the peak of King-level, even if there might be that much now. What you should do is slowly refine the Yin Energy while improving the Yang Energy. Eventually, you will be able to break into God’s ranks.

Understanding Lan Feng’s words, Yan Xiaobao nodded solemnly. "Which way is the easiest to refine Yin Energy?" Yan Xiaobao asked curiously, and the Phoenix immediately shook his head happily. He always enjoyed it when he could prove he was indeed a beast that had lived for a long time.

"The simplest way is to sit outside under the moonlight and enhance the essence of Heaven and Earth. Now that your Upper Dantian is open, you can extract the Yin Yang Energy from the essence. Another way to obtain Yin Energy is to rely on pills. Some of them contain Yin Energy. This is the most common way, as it is faster than refining it yourself. You can also find a very cold area; the colder the area, the stronger the Yin Energy.

"Hmm, I understand," Yan Xiaobao muttered. He had hoped to acquire some medicinal medicine, but unfortunately, he did not have it with him nor any means to obtain it. As far as he knew, these beasts rarely took medicine. They considered it cheating, which was also one reason beasts were usually stronger than humans of the same level.

Yan Xiaobao sighed deeply, accepting his echo, he needed to work hard once again. He had just broken through, and Yan Xiaobao knew it was time to thoroughly check his body. A small golden Energy Ball appeared in his outstretched hand, summoned in less than a second after the energy call.

Unlike spiritual energy and Qi, Wu Wei didn’t travel through his meridians. It would disappear instantly within the Upper Dantian and reappear anywhere it was summoned. It might be the ball in his hand, or it might be a palm above his head, or perhaps the golden martial wings resting in his Lower Dantian.

No matter how Yan Xiaobao attempted, Wu Wei was so swift that the young man was filled with admiration and happiness. He finally became a King-level expert. He had finally stepped into the world of powerful cultivators!

Just as he prepared to continue training further, he heard a knock on the door, causing him to immediately stop what he was doing. He steadied his breath before opening the door. Outside was Wan Qiao, her face beaming, with a paper in her arms, all decked with information on the front and back.

"You’re done," she said proudly, stuffing all the papers into Yan Xiaobao’s arms, "It took me a long time to do this, but now that I’ve finished, you’d better be ready to read. If you skip a page, I won’t be happy!" she said, waving lazily at him as she turned around, "It’s time to take a nap," she mumbled as she hurried back to her room.

Yan Xiaobao stood at the door, feeling a headache. With all the information stuffed into his arms, now the papers were no longer in the order they should be. Before he could start reading and understanding the Saints, the young man had to sort them out. Then he could decide who would join him during the war and who would stay behind.

"I guess it’s time to get to work," Yan Xiaobao muttered to himself as he placed all the papers on the table. Before writing letters to friends, he had only used this table once, but he was here now. The table was littered with papers he slowly began organizing. Yan Xiaobao was delighted when he saw Wan had kindly written page numbers on many pages, for without them, he wasn’t sure he would even be able to put them in order.

Finally finding the head and tail of many sheets, he slowly began reading. Each document truly contained all the information Yan Xiaobao hoped for. This included the age of the beasts, the species, their primary attacks, whether they were strong or mediocre beasts, and whether they wished to join the war.

Yan Xiaobao felt an unprecedented tranquility at the moment. His stress was far greater than the stress of reaching the King-level, but now he had achieved his goal, a strange peace washed over him, with a gentle smile on his face as he dug into the list of Lords.
