Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Understanding Yin and Yang
Translator: 549690339
Apart from Lu Yuan and Constable Jin, there were also many people from the Six Gates, and the original City Defense Army who’d run away in fear.
“Motherfucker, thank goodness 1 ran away. Otherwise, I would have ended up like those black-faced ghosts. Damn it, is he even human? He just butchered heavily-armored cavalry with a single sword?!”
The City Defense Army was beside themselves with shock and fear.
News spread like wildfire, sweeping across the world.
Once the details were known, Elder Zhang fell silent. The Chunyang Sect was deadly quiet, while gasps could be heard throughout Lengyue Palace…
The Imperial Capital, East Palace.
“One sword broke a thousand armors… is he even human?” The Crown Prince was so shocked by the news that he almost ordered someone’s execution.
Because to him, this was utterly impossible.
If a great grandmaster had such power, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
But as continuous news came in, he had no choice but to believe it, causing his past confidence to wane considerably.
“Your Highness, he’s making his way to the capital, swaggering all the way,” said the butler in a low voice. “The Black Flag Army is gone. If he really breaks into the city and starts a massacre, and the Emperor finds out, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”
“We are actually backed into a corner!” The Crown Prince forced out a laugh, “A mere wanderer from the world of martial arts has put us in this position!”
“He can’t enter the city!”
“Absolutely not!”
“Otherwise, 1 will inevitably be kicked when I’m down.”
“He must die outside the city!”
The Crown Prince gritted his teeth.
“Your Highness, even if we kill him on the outskirts of the city, with the combat power he’s shown, we would probably suffer substantial losses, risking a huge blow to our momentum.” The elder’s voice lowered further. “We must be prepared for the worst. Your Highness, with the situation as it is, our arrows are already on the bowstrings, there’s no turning back.”
The Crown Prince showed a hint of hesitation.
“If we don’t besiege and kill him, and one day he changes his disguise and enters the city…” The elder shuddered, “The consequences would be too horrible to contemplate. Your Highness, we must gather all our forces to kill him. We cannot allow any accidents.”
“Yes, we can’t afford any accidents. We have to surround and kill him, or I won’t be at ease!” The Crown Prince’s eyes hardened, “The Old Emperor should rest and my brothers have been too active for too long.”
On the road.
The carriage moved at a leisurely pace.
At this speed, it would take at least two or three months to reach the Imperial Capital.
This was the advice given by the Ninth Princess, to take their time.
“The Crown Prince is planning a rebellion, and yet we’re being asked to slow down… what’s the Ninth Princess playing at?” Lu Yuan was puzzled.
For such a crucial matter, shouldn’t they speed up to lend her a hand?
Instead, they are being told to slow down. What’s the meaning of this?
“Perhaps the Princess wants those who are going to jump out to do so,” Constable Jin speculated.
“If that’s the case, can she protect herself? I don’t think so!” Lu Yuan shook his head. “The Sixth Prince may be very kind, but he is not ruthless enough and has limited power. The Ninth Princess, although she is an exceptional genius, is just a woman after all; how much power can she wield? The Imperial Capital is a den of iniquity. Even if Wang Wudi gets involved, I’m afraid he can’t keeps the two of them safe.”
“I trust in the Princess!” Constable Jin asserted firmly.
“With Wang Wudi there, at least she won’t die, which is enough!” Jiang Ming dismisssed, “She got wind of the the Crown Prince’s secret and told us to take our time. The Ninth Princess definitely has some trick up her sleeve we don’t know about. Don’t overthink it. Just focus on cultivating and take our time on the road.”
A coup d’etat?
Kill father and brothers for a throne?
What a grand play.
He knew a lot about the situation in the Imperial Capital. The Old Emperor was both incompetent and ill, and had been manipulated by the Crown Prince, who had cut off the Old Emperor’s internal and external contacts.
Any news that made it to the Old Emperor had to be screened by the Crown Prince first.
One day, they rested in a mountain village.
At the crack of dawn, Jiang Ming stood beneath a tree, enjoying the cool mountain air. By this time, many people were already up and started working on the farm.
There was one house that was particularly busy, as a pregnant woman was about to give birth.
“True Yang, what is Yang? The south of a mountain is Yang, the north of a river is Yang, daytime is Yang, the body’s exterior is Yang, in terms of breathing, inhaling is Yang, the land’s surface is Yang, the top of a leaf is Yang. Facing the sun is Yang, that which is outside is Yang, movement is Yang…”
“These are concepts, relative to Yin!”
“And what about the specific True Yang? Can it exist independently?”
“The early sun is Yang, the scorching sun is also Yang…”
Jiang Ming looked towards the east, where the great sun had just peeked out, various thoughts swirling in his mind. It seemed as if the realm of ‘True Yang’ was right before him, but he just couldn’t step through the door.
Just then, cries came from the village.
Wah…
A newborn has arrived, with a cry announcing its entry into this world. First, cry for the sadness of life, then welcome the suffering of life, and finally savor the sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness of life.
“A newborn, to begin with, is the hope and future of a family, and in a broader sense, the hope and future of a nation. With hope comes the future, with the future comes light, light…”
Jiang Ming’s breathing caught.
Looking at the sun, besides representing the power of fire, it also represents light. There’s light in the sun, light in the fire, light in the lightning, light in the stars, light in the soul, and even more light in hope…
“Light, also belongs to Yang.”
His thoughts tumbled, various ideas flashing through his mind.
Looking at the sun, Jiang Ming stood motionless, but the aura emanating from his body revealed the nine kinds of Yang realms appearing one by one. Although invisible and intangible, they could still be felt.
Seemingly in a trance, nine great suns seemed to hang in the air behind him.
They then merged into one, and it seemed that a bizarre power flowed from non-existence to existence, not intense, not restless, just mild, capable of illuminating the sea of heart, brushing away the dust, warming the soul, purifying all negative emotions, calming down, relaxing body and mind.
This power also fused into it.
In an instant, a smile appeared on Jiang Ming’s face.
True Yang, he comprehended it!
He stepped into the door.
“If he didn’t have superlative comprehension, a powerful spiritual soul, even if he combined the nine kinds of Yang realms with the realm of light, he wouldn’t comprehend the ‘True Yang’. Because ‘Yang’ contains far too much.”
At this moment, he gave people a feeling of absolute purity. He is the sun, he is a beam of light, flawless, without a hint of shadowy filth, representing justice, representing light, pure as Liuli, immaculate.
Jiang Ming stood still, continuing to immerse himself in it.
“Solitary Yin does not grow, solitary Yang does not birth.”
“Yin and Yang interdepend, mutually generating and overcoming.”
“Yin is inside, it guards the Yang; Yang is outside, it employs the Yin!”
“At Yin’s extreme Yang is born, at Yang’s extreme Yin forms, Yin and Yang reciprocating, mutually generating and overcoming!”
Jiang Ming’s heart stirred. The Qi in his Dantian showed a pattern of Yin and Yang, becoming more and more complete, more and more perfect.
True Qi overflowed from his body, alternating between hot and cold, forming a Tai Chi diagram. The Yin and Yang fishes’ heads and tails connected, spinning faster and faster, suddenly, a transformation occurred.
The cold and heat transformed into genuine Yin and Yang.
Give me a single spark, and I can ignite a whole prairie.
Having comprehended True Yang, Jiang Ming achieved this in one step, directly comprehending the Yin and Yang realm.
Even if placed in the Main World, this would seem unbelievable.
But having comprehended it means having comprehended it.
At this moment, his entire being seemed to merge into Heaven and Earth. They could be seen and felt, but there was a sense that Jiang Ming was a part of Heaven and Earth, a part of the Dao.
Merging into Heaven and Earth, matching even more harmoniously.
Merging man and Heaven, as if becoming one with Dao.
The Heavenly and Earthly Yin-Yang Dao Resonance shook and was attracted, directly entering Jiang Ming’s body. Baptizing the flesh, tempering the will, transforming the spirit, refining the soul.
When it entered the Dantian, the Dantian space, which could not be shaken, and even after comprehending dozens of realms, couldn’t expand even a bit, suddenly expanded at this moment.
The Sea of Qi in the Dantian, the space expanded once again, and very fiercely at that.
Completely defying normal reasoning..
