Cultivation
Xiaoshuai started playing around with Dabai, Dahei, Xiaobai and Xiaohei again, breaking the silence and livening up Mu Yu with his laughter.
“Uncle Yundan know you’re up?” Mu Yu changed the topic, though he remained lying.
“Not yet,” Ku Mu answered, still sitting where he was.
“Why?”
“I’ve been busy recovering ever since I came to. Had my Primordial Yin Yang not noticed your Primordial Yin Yang’s distress call, I’d still be recovering.”
“Your soul is healthy now, correct?”
“As long as Revealing Cauldron is safe.”
“You mean Revealing Cauldron is now your shackle?”
“You lose something in order to gain something.”“You can leave Pill Cauldron Sect with it, right?”
“I’m not removing Revealing Cauldron from Pill Cauldron Sect.”
“Because it’s Pill Cauldron Sect’s guardian?”
“Yes.”
“Even if the soul race is toying with Third Heaven?”
“The onus is on you to stop them.”
“Did you save Archfiend Baiyuan?”
“Yes.”
Dad, you must be the only man who would be willing to live this sort of life without feeling indignant or upset.
Mu Yu smiled to remind himself not to be hung up on what could not be changed. “You proud of me?”
“No.”
“… Dad, what’s sealed at the world’s rift? Is there another rift at the bottom of your valley?”
“You discovered it?”
“I’ve been to Moyun Mountains’ No-Man’s Cemetery, the abyss in the ocean, the fiend race’s abyss and then Ghost Gate’s underground area – which you probably didn’t know I went to. Grandpa Village Chief pointed to eight places, one of which was your valley.”
“It’s a formation comparable to Celestial Prison that Feng Haochen personally deployed to protect the continent from foreign invaders. There is another seal under the valley as you suspected. I sealed the one in the valley. Xie Bulao sealed the one at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden. Archfiend Qinglong sealed the one in the fiends’ territory. Bai Jie doesn’t know of the locations. At least, the three places I mentioned are safe.”
“Why are Pill Cauldron Sect and Formation Sect situated according to yin and yang?”
“The reason we can’t let Revealing Cauldron and Formation Palace leave their respective sects is because they’re formation cores for the defensive barrier to Third Heaven.”
“Shall I check the other two locations?”
“Your most urgent task is to reach Apotheosis Realm.”
“You’ll help me, right?” Mu Yu looked to Primordial Yin Yang.
“I’ll give you time, but you determine what sort of domain you invent.” Ku Mu called his Primordial Yin Yang to his hand, while they continued to revolve. “Also, you haven’t learnt how to control Primordial Yin Yang, so you’re putting a treasure to waste. If you know how to use it, you’d mop the floor with Ghost Gate and the dragon race. Ximen Buxing and Wanwan are likely several leagues ahead of you.”
Yes, Mu Yu already told Ku Mu about Ximen Buxing and Wanwan’s true nature, so he shrugged in defeat. “Teach me, then. You wouldn’t want your son to embarrass you, would you?”
“Hmph.” That was a sign of Ku Mu agreeing.
***
“A patch of heaven,” would be the simplest way to describe the dimension the two Primordial Yin Yangs created inside Mu Yu’s body with Ku Mu’s assistance – a waterfall pouring down from the rift above the white clouds and the orchestra of birds singing along with the wind. Suddenly, everything in the dimension froze.
“Primordial Yin Yang’s energy requires balance – a concept you should grasp once you grasp the meaning of the eighty-one characters. This world is created on balance and through the medium known as spiritual energy. Primordial Yin Yang is the most balanced entity in the world; it’s similar to dark herb’s energy. Things only exist because balance is achieved. To control Primordial Yin Yang, then, balance must be controlled. Strive for perfect balance…” educated Ku Mu, sharing the knowledge he obtained from the ancestors of Pill Cauldron Sect, knowledge that Mu Yu never had access to.
What is balance? Indifference to materialistic gains and personal losses? Indifference to what one does? Is aligning with my conscience balance? mused Mu Yu, running through Dustfallen Mental Cultivation without realising it, thereby circulating his life and death qis.
Mu Yu felt he was missing a piece of the puzzle.
If I combined Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye with any other weapons besides a celestial sword, the former would’ve destroyed the latter.
