Heh!
Li Xuan took a deep breath, his spiritual mansion’s stars spinning rapidly as boundless spiritual energy poured into his left arm.
As the golden light intensified, Li Xuan punched down at a star.
Boom!
A deafening collision resounded through the heavens, and after the dust and smoke cleared, the white light emanating from the star had vanished.
Watching the words that slowly appeared in the light, Li Xuan was suddenly shocked, almost losing his voice, "It's actually the Dao of Battle Intent!"
"The foundation of this Azure Hall is indeed extraordinary, possessing even the Dao of Battle Intent." Looking at the Dao of Battle Intent before him, Li Xuan couldn't help but show a trace of excitement in his eyes.
"The Dao of Battle Intent is to gather momentum with a single drumbeat, to have no fear in one's heart, only then can one condense powerful battle intent and empower oneself. The profoundness of battle intent lies in the individual's degree of comprehension. The deeper the comprehension, the stronger the battle intent."
Li Xuan mumbled, reciting the words that appeared on the light screen verbatim.
A moment later, a hint of struggle flickered across Li Xuan's face.
This Dao of Battle Intent was already an excellent path of cultivation for him.
To stop war with war, to nourish war with war, it could be said to be a great power of battle.
Moreover, with his current strength, he had persisted until now, nearing his limit. If he did not choose the Dao of Battle Intent to continue, he would likely face failure. And failure would mean the dissipation of everything.
"This is indeed a difficult choice." Li Xuan took a deep breath, his gaze gradually firming as he looked at the starlit sky.
With a wave of his hand, the light screen of the Dao of Battle Intent in front of him instantly transformed into spiritual light and vanished.
Hum!
As the light screen dissipated, the starlit sky suddenly lit up again.
A star, extremely small in size yet incredibly bright, instantly detached itself and shot rapidly towards Li Xuan. The moment this star descended, Li Xuan keenly sensed a subtle change in the surrounding stars.
Although he sensed it, and this star was several times smaller than the others, Li Xuan dared not be negligent in the slightest. After all, the preceding stars had been more powerful than the last.
With a thought, Li Xuan summoned his Master Sword.
The next moment, the Master Sword was unsheathed.
"Hmm? Is this a ghost?" Li Xuan, who had expected to cleave it with a single sword, was utterly shocked by what he saw.
When the Master Sword struck the descending star, it passed through it as if it were transparent, having no effect whatsoever. Not only that, but the star's descent seemed to accelerate.
"Is this increasing the difficulty… If I had known, choosing the Dao of Battle Intent wouldn't have led to this outcome." Li Xuan's eyes revealed a self-mocking helplessness as the star drew closer.
After all, if he could not withstand the impact of the star's might, then failure was inevitable.
"It seems the Dao of Yin and Yang isn't so easily attained. Well, if not today, then next time." As the immense power grew stronger, Li Xuan's body began to fracture.
Bang!
Although Li Xuan had inwardly chosen to give up, the star still descended with its usual force. With a bang, the spiritual light of the entire star enveloped Li Xuan, filling the entire starry sky.
Li Xuan, with his eyes tightly shut, remained completely unaware that at this moment, all the stars in the sky were emitting a beam of spiritual light, all of which poured into the descending star.
"Hmm? Something doesn't seem right."
Awaiting teleportation, Li Xuan, after keeping his eyes shut for a good ten seconds, opened them when he sensed no change in his surroundings.
It was then that Li Xuan discovered he was surrounded by a grayish, hazy space. While it was a hazy space, the scenery around him seemed discernible. It felt as if he were in a place he was intimately familiar with.
"What exactly is going on?" Not being teleported away, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel perplexed. He hadn't stopped the star, so failure was the natural consequence. Yet, the current scene was nothing like failure.
Where had he gone wrong? A trace of bewilderment flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, his mind racing as he meticulously recalled every step he had taken when the last star descended.
Hum.
As Li Xuan pondered in vain, a faint humming sound drew his attention.
The originally hazy space suddenly lit up. This brightening wasn't instantaneous.
Li Xuan noticed that the light around him gradually shifted from fuzzy to somewhat clear. The horizon, so to speak, was the first to emit a glimmer of light. It then spread slowly, like clouds ablaze.
Boom!
As the last trace of haze completely dissipated, the entire space became exceptionally clear. Observing the scene before him, Li Xuan fell into deep thought, as if sensing something.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the bright space dimmed once more.
Cycle after cycle, the haze transformed into daylight, and daylight reverted to haze. With this constant transformation, Li Xuan's eyes grew increasingly bright.
Unbeknownst to how much time had passed, Li Xuan's wide-open eyes had gradually developed bloodshot veins. However, Li Xuan's expression had become somewhat excited.
"So, this is the Dao of Yin and Yang!"
As Li Xuan's eyes became almost entirely bloodshot, a golden gleam flashed in them, and instantly the bloodshot veins receded, his eyes returning to their clarity.
At this moment, Li Xuan's face was brimming with excitement. He slowly raised his left hand and pointed into the void.
With Li Xuan's single gesture, the originally hazy space instantly transformed into bright daylight. Witnessing this change, Li Xuan was utterly overjoyed.
Hum.
At this moment, a beam of spiritual light shot into Li Xuan's mind. Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately closed his eyes to examine it.
"The Dao of Yin and Yang is in all things. Yang is rooted in Yin, and Yin is rooted in Yang. Solitary Yin cannot be born, and solitary Yang cannot grow. Heaven is Yang, Earth is Yin; the Sun is Yang, the Moon is Yin; Fire is Yang, Water is Yin; Man is Yang, Woman is Yin; Daylight is Yang, Night is Yin. Both can transform into each other; Yin is Yang, and Yang is Yin."
"The Dao of Yin and Yang has five levels in total. They are divided into: Yin and Yang of Men and Women, Yin and Yang of Water and Fire, Yin and Yang of Life and Death, Yin and Yang of Sun and Moon, Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth."
"Congratulations, you have successfully comprehended the Yin and Yang of Life and Death. Life and death are but a single thought away."
As Li Xuan absorbed the information, he opened his eyes. His fair face was filled with immense excitement.
"I never expected to stumble upon the Dao of Yin and Yang by accident!"
