Chapter 872: Chapter 205: Yin Yang Realm (Part 2)
Duan Xiyang’s eyes revealed a smile.
Feng Yunqi’s words reminded him of the Cloud Rankings back then, when Feng Yunqi had been utterly fooled by Dongfang Sansan, only to find that the rankings were made solely of Wei Wo Zheng Sect and the Guardians, utterly deviating from the original intent.
In anger, Feng Yunqi ran away.
But as the one who arranged the rankings, he offended all the Outer World Mountain Sect, they all felt that the old man looked down on them...
Jianghu People value reputation most, being directly ostracized was an extraordinary insult. Thus, Feng Yunqi ended his path with the Outer World Mountain Sect from that point on.
Thinking about it now is quite amusing.
But to this day, no one knows how Dongfang Sansan managed to achieve this, what methods were used to make Feng Yunqi so bewildered...
It’s a mystery.
"What exactly happened back then? What did Dongfang do to you?"
Duan Xiyang asked.
"..." Feng Yunqi’s face darkened, glaring at Duan Xiyang: "I heard you were ambushed and beaten by Dongfang Sansan several times, care to elaborate?"
Duan Xiyang’s face also darkened.
"Why don’t you tell me about the Yin Yang Realm!"
Feng Yunqi sneered.
Isn’t this just peeling off a scab? Who the hell couldn’t do that!
"The Yin Yang Realm, I only know it’s a place between life and death. Whoever goes in, their chances are fifty-fifty. Even those invincible at the same level might face ambush and be killed, while the weakest can have the chance to kill or severely injure a strong foe."
"Moreover, opportunities in this place are equally distributed to everyone. That is to say, you’re bound to encounter them."
"And if you conquer the opportunity of death, you’ll receive a wisp of Yin Yang Energy. Yin Yang Energy is the voucher to exchange for rewards in this peculiar place."
"Once you’ve crossed a life and death barrier and obtained Yin Yang Energy, your fortune will be redistributed equally, returning again to a fifty-fifty split. So, do you understand now?"
Feng Yunqi said.
"This... is truly confusing." Duan Xiyang frowned.
On the other hand, Yan Beihan, the young one, reacted swiftly: "It means starting over again after overcoming an opportunity, right."
"Smart girl."
Feng Yunqi praised.
"After the appearance of the Yin Yang Realm, it will disappear in ten days. Hence, these ten days are the opportunity for the entire continent. But once the Yin Yang Realm appears, it requires at least the Fortune of ten parties to be activated. And that’s just the bare minimum!"
Feng Yunqi said: "So, although the Yin Yang Realm always appears only in the Heavenly Palace, it is not something the Heavenly Palace can monopolize. Because the Heavenly Palace occupies only one portion of Fortune. It must have other parties to intervene to stabilize. The people entering it have a cultivation limit, which is the First grade of Saint Level."
Then, he emphasized, speaking quietly: "It’s said... just a rumor, not certain."
"No matter how high the cultivation, once entered, everyone is Monarch Level! Because of Human Monarch Fortune. Therefore, upon entering, all convert to Monarch Level." Feng Yunqi said.
"Isn’t that unreasonable?"
Yan Beihan said.
"Nothing unreasonable, those are the rules of the Yin Yang Realm. Experts at Saint Level, upon entering, are weakened to Monarch Level Peak, retaining their Peak Combat Power at Monarch Level. Those at Elder level, the same.
"If inherently Monarch Level, they remain unchanged upon entering."
"Those whose cultivation doesn’t reach Monarch Level, upon entering, are automatically promoted to Monarch Level, but their combat power is merely average Monarch Level. Meaning, if you’re an absolute genius at King level but enter the Yin Yang Realm, you’ll be promoted to Monarch Level cultivation, but you won’t receive the Peak Combat Power that comes from naturally cultivating to that rank."
"It can only be the average combat power of Monarch Level across the entire continent. Of course, most of the time."
"But there are instances where upon entering, one isn’t Monarch Level — this point is somewhat unclear."
Feng Yunqi said: "This matter, is very strange, and to this day, no one knows the reason why."
Yan Beihan pondered and said: "What if one dies inside?"
"Then they are truly dead."
Feng Yunqi smiled bitterly.
"What is this thing all about?" Duan Xiyang said.
"No one knows. Over so many years, whenever the Yin Yang Realm appears, I secretly come to observe, though no one can detect my presence, but after so many times it’s like not even coming to observe. Because, nothing can be seen. Not even a deduction."
Feng Yunqi said: "Yet... after all my years of speculation, it feels like an Ancient Artifact. Perhaps... some Great Power crafted a place for trials and practices. But, who knows why it was abandoned."
"Great Power?"
Duan Xiyang’s eyes suddenly emitted a brilliant shining light: "What kind of Great Power could make something like this?"
Feng Yunqi looked calmly at Duan Xiyang: "Old Duan, you surely know, in this Star Sky, there exist beings capable of easily annihilating our world, right?"
The light in Duan Xiyang’s eyes dimmed, he took a deep breath and said: "I know they exist, but I’ve never seen them."
"Hehehe..."
Feng Yunqi laughed, with some sarcasm: "You actually want to see them?"
Duan Xiyang’s face dark as a pot’s bottom.
But Feng Yunqi wouldn’t let it go, instead asked: "Old Duan, when you pee in the forest, do you ever care if the ants under the tree roots welcome your pee or not? Would you think about your pee ruining their homeland?"
Duan Xiyang said mildly: "Shut up!"
Feng Yunqi said: "Those ants you can at least see; but the beings we’re discussing can’t even see us. In their eyes, we’re even less than air. In their eyes... heh heh, heh heh."
These two "heh heh"s carried a great deal of Divine Charm.
