Yun Wei’s laughter filled the air, her amusement evident as she shifted her gaze towards Kai. "And who might you be?" she inquired.
Kai’s lips twitched uncertainly, unsure of what to say. Finally, he managed to utter, "You could call me Liang."
Yun Wei’s eyes sparkled with amusement upon hearing his answer. "Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Brother Liang."
Kai mustered a forced smile in response to her warm greeting.
"Both of you are here to visit the Heaven Fortune Domain?" Yun Wei asked, her curiosity piqued.
Liang nodded, confirming their purpose.
Yun Wei’s smile grew wider as she waved her hand casually, unleashing a surge of formidable force into the empty space before them. Kai and Liang’s eyes widened in astonishment as they witnessed the power contained within her simple wave—an unmistakable display of a seventh-grade expert.
Almost as if responding to their awe, a black gate materialized before them, beckoning them forward. Yun Wei confidently stepped through the gate, disappearing from sight.
The two men exchanged a determined glance before nodding simultaneously. Stepping forward, they followed Yun Wei into the gate.
In an instant, an awe-inspiring sight unfolded before their eyes. A massive continent stood solidly amidst the emptiness, and hovering above it was a majestic temple, resonating with the harmony of Yin and Yang—the Yin Yang Harmony Temple.
Liang squinted, his gaze searching for any sign of Yun Wei. Unable to find her, he decided to save his inquiries for later and focused on their current surroundings.
Without wasting a moment, Kai and Liang advanced towards the continent. As they drew closer, a palpable oppression weighed heavily upon them. Their bodies felt as though they were being pulled downward, subjected to an overwhelming gravitational force, hurtling them towards the surface with alarming speed.
"Act quickly!" Kai shouted, his voice tinged with urgency.
Liang shouted back, his voice strained with frustration, "I can’t! My ability to manipulate void power seems useless in this situation."
With a resounding crash, both men collided with the ground, creating deep imprints in their wake. After a moment, they slowly rose to their feet, the impact still reverberating through their bodies.
"What just happened?" Kai asked, his voice laced with confusion and a touch of annoyance.
Liang scratched his head, his mind working to make sense of the situation. "If I’m not mistaken, it seems to be the effect of the Gravitational Law."
"Gravitational Law?" Kai repeated, his brows furrowing. "Since when did gravity possess the status of a law?"
Liang chuckled, finding amusement in Kai’s perplexity. "Never mind that for now. But can’t you sense it? There’s something peculiar about the essence of the Heaven and Earth power in this place."
Kai’s eyes widened with realization as he contemplated Liang’s words. "Indeed, the energy here seems to transcend the duality of Yin and Yang."
Liang nodded, a glint of understanding in his eyes. "If I’m correct, it signifies the original form of the Heaven and Earth power—an equilibrium that allows all life forms and energies to coexist harmoniously."
Kai’s gaze sharpened with anticipation. "That could be truly remarkable, don’t you think?"
Liang shrugged, a smile playing on his lips. "Let’s hope so."
"It’s an environment where cultivators can explore and cultivate multiple paths simultaneously," Kai mused, his excitement palpable.
Liang nodded, his determination solidifying. "We shouldn’t waste any more time. Let’s proceed."
Kai nodded back, their shared resolve propelling them forward. Together, they disappeared into the horizon, venturing deeper into the unknown.
After a considerable journey, they finally arrived before a towering mountain—a breathtaking testament to nature’s grandeur and power.
The mountain before them soared towards the heavens, its majestic presence commanding awe and reverence. Its rugged cliffs, intricately carved by the passage of time, displayed the resilience of nature in every crevice. The rugged terrain was adorned with an array of vibrant flora, each bloom adding a touch of color to the mountain’s stoic facade.
As Kai and Liang approached, they noticed an intricate network of arrays and runes etched into the very fabric of the mountain. These arcane symbols seemed to pulse with a mystical energy, creating a harmony between the natural and spiritual realms. It was as if the mountain itself was a sacred sanctuary, guarded by the ancient power imbued within the symbols’ intricate patterns.
Stone steps, worn smooth by countless pilgrims, meandered up the mountainside.
As Kai and Liang ascended the stone steps, they marveled at the precision and artistry of the arrays. Each symbol seemed to pulse with a vibrant energy, interconnecting in a mesmerizing dance. It was as if the very essence of the mountain had been woven into these intricate patterns, creating a harmonious blend of natural and mystical forces.
As they ascended higher, the landscape opened up to reveal breathtaking vistas. Lush forests, alive with vibrant foliage and singing wildlife, blanketed the lower slopes. Waterfalls cascaded down, their crystalline streams merging into gentle rivers that wound their way through the valleys below. The air, crisp and invigorating, carried the faint scent of wildflowers and the distant roar of unseen creatures.
And then, at the summit of the mountain, stood the grand pagoda, a majestic fusion of architectural prowess and spiritual sanctity. Its towering structure reached towards the sky, its roofs adorned with intricate carvings depicting mythical creatures, celestial beings, and scenes of enlightenment. Gleaming with hues of gold and vermilion, the pagoda emanated a divine radiance, capturing the light of the sun and reflecting it in a mesmerizing spectacle.
Etched into the vast expanse of the sky above the majestic pagoda, which rose with an air of grandeur, was a bold statement: "All Things Under The Heavens." The words caught the attention of Kai and Liang, filling them with wonder and surprise.
Kai, unable to contain his excitement, burst out, "What a remarkable coincidence!"

Liang chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Coincidence? Perhaps. But let us not dwell on it for now."
After ascending the weathered steps of stone, their eyes were drawn to a figure near the entrance of the pagoda. To their astonishment, it was Yun Wei, the one who had disappeared mysteriously some time ago.
Standing beside her was a young man, dressed in an elegant purple robe. His short black hair accentuated his piercing blue eyes. The two appeared engaged in a spirited argument, voices filled with tension.
"Why don’t you agree, Miss Yun? In what way am I lacking compared to anyone?" the defiant young man interrogated, his voice tinged with frustration.
"Mister Yuan, I’ve told you before—this is not your concern. Each person has their own path," Yun Wei replied, her previous smile fading into a cold expression.
Sensing someone approaching, Yun Wei and the young man turned their heads towards the stone steps. A brilliant smile adorned Yun Wei’s face as she waved to greet Kai and Liang.
The young man’s eyebrows raised in annoyance, casting a dissatisfied glance at the two silver-haired men.
Liang’s expression grew darker, while Kai chuckled. "Looks like we were caught up in someone else’s problems," he remarked lightly.
"Welcome, Brother Kai," Yun Wei greeted with a grin, her eyes now fixed on Liang.
Liang nodded silently in response.
"Mister Yuan, allow me to introduce you," Yun Wei interrupted, mischief glimmering in her eyes. "This is Brother Kai, a fellow cultivator of the Void Dao, just like myself."
Upon hearing this, Mister Yuan’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly, a fleeting flicker of killing intent crossing his face before vanishing.
With a measured nod, Yun Wei continued, her gaze now shifting to Mister Yuan. "And this is Mister Yuan, a skilled seventh-order alchemist."
As Liang and Kai heard this revelation, a flicker of surprise danced within their eyes. The tale harks back to a distant era, before the great catastrophe that befell to the domain.
In those times, alchemists held a revered and esteemed position within the cultivation society, their knowledge and skills sought after by many.
However, with the division of the domain into Yin and Yang, the once glorious Dao of Alchemy underwent a sharp decline. Many attributed this downturn to the incomplete Heaven and Earth power, as the refinement of medical and spiritual elixirs relied heavily on the refined essence of this primal power.
Within this context, the mere notion of a fourth or fifth order alchemist was regarded as an awe-inspiring feat, let alone a seven-order alchemist.
Kai couldn’t contain his curiosity and stepped forward, scrutinizing Mister Yuan from head to toe, as if gazing upon a rare and precious gem.
"It’s exceptionally rare to encounter a seven-order alchemist. This is truly an enlightening experience," Kai remarked, his words tinged with amusement.
Mister Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he carefully assessed Kai. "And who might you be?" he inquired with a hint of suspicion.
Kai’s smile widened as he replied, "You may address me as Liang."
Acknowledging this response, Mister Yuan shifted his focus to Liang. In a cold and calculated tone, he questioned, "So, Brother Kai, I presume you are a Void Dao expert?"
