Earlier, Lin Xuan only went through more than half of the “Profound Demon Scripture”. And now, he had just finished reading the rest of it.

At the end of the Cultivation Method, there was a Magic Art of Yin and Yang conversion. After using this technique, his body’s Spiritual Power could be altered freely between both types of energy.

In other words, it breaks through the confinement of an ordinary cultivator not being able to practice a Cultivation Method of the Ghost Dao. Which removed the obstacle of him cultivating the “Profound Demon Scripture”.

Just as the saying goes, “After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers, and a lovely village.”1it’s a poem that means, “A favorable turn of fortune will often appear just when there seems to be no way out of your predicament.” The joy in Lin Xuan’s heart is imaginable. He quickly sinks his Spiritual Sense back in, and carefully tried to grasp the Yin-Yang Art.

However, after only a moment, Lin Xuan’s brows tightened up. After a while, he sighed and stood up.

His joy turned into emptiness, this “Yin-Yang Art” was actually only a fragment. The “Profound Demon Scripture” only recorded the second half of this Magic Art, and the rest of it has been lost.

In the end, Lin Xuan even saw the notes that the Sky Fiend Demon Lord had written.

He had stated that this Magic Art was actually not created by his sect, but his Master accidentally got it from an ancient cultivator’s Cave Mansion.

Lin Xuan nodded, such a heaven-defying Magic Art could only be the masterpiece of an ancient cultivator.

However, the cultivators present at the time were not only his Master but also several other old monsters of the Nascent Soul Stage. In the face of such a powerful Magic Art, everyone was naturally filled with greed and rushed to grab it.

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord was indeed amazing. However, none of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were weak. After an earth-shattering battle, his Master only snatched the second half of the Yin-Yang Art, and the first half was obtained by an unnamed sword cultivator, and he has since then disappeared.

Although later, after his Master had healed his injuries, he traveled all over Zhao Country searching for the first half of the”Yin-Yang Art”, sadly, he failed. And while being depressed and unhappy, he was attacked by the traitorous Extreme Demon Venerable.

What was recorded later were all of his grievances, Lin Xuan was naturally not interested, skipping through it, he put down the paper fragments, and his heart downcast.

There were really many twists and turns. He didn’t expect it to end like this.

Although the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s notes provided some clues, it was already 500 years ago, and the traces of the sword cultivator could not be found at that time, let alone now…

Even if he found it, the other party was a Nascent Soul Expert, in the face of absolute strength, a little cleverness would be useless. Not to mention seeking the “Yin-Yang Art”, the result was most likely to be just sending a sheep right into the tiger’s mouth.

Of course, after such a long time, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator may have already passed away. And the first half could have been taken by others. But still, there were no clues.

This “Yin-Yang Art ” can be considered to be useless, with him possessing only half of it, there would be no effect at all.

Lin Xuan was silent for a while. He then picked up the paper fragment again. Although with only half of the “Yin-Yang Art” and he couldn’t cultivate it, however, there was no harm in taking a look at it.

Everyone had a curiosity, and Lin Xuan was no exception. He really wanted to know exactly how the heaven-defying Magic Art can alternate between yin and yang Spiritual Power. The means of ancient cultivators were really magical.

After a short while, Lin Xuan’s face showed a strange expression.

He was at a loss. There was puzzlement, surprise, but most of all, he was mind blown.

This “Yin-Yang Art” was actually quite familiar. Although Lin Xuan was sure that he’s never seen this Cultivation Method before,…How to say it, it was very similar to another one he read, they seemed to be from one source.

Could it be…

Lin Xuan blinked his eyes and sank his Spiritual Sense into his Storage Bracelet.

He rummaged for some time.

After a while. He took out a green Jade slip and looked through it without hesitation.

The Cultivation Method recorded in it was the “Heavenly Thunder Art”. Which he got from Lei Ao while participating in the Nascent Soul Conference.

It was just the common Cultivation Method of the “Thunder Sword Sect”. a Fourth-rate sect, which can almost be described as garbage.

Although this Heavenly Thunder Art was ordinary, it strangely wasn’t stored inside a Jade slip. But was preserved in an extremely precious refining material, the Mystic Black Iron. Unless there was a problem with the brains of Lei Ao’s predecessors, there must be some deep secret.

Therefore, Lin Xuan intentionally copied it into a Jade slip.

He studied it several times in the past, but he still had no idea what was special about it. He gradually forgot it and the Jade slip was placed in a corner of the Storage Bracelet.

But just now, Lin Xuan found that some of the formulas recorded in the Heavenly Thunder Art were quite similar to the second half of the “Yin-Yang Art”, and seemed to be from the same origin.

Although he thought it was a little ridiculous, Lin Xuan naturally did not want to let go of any clues. He quickly started to compare the two Cultivation Methods together and studying them…

A day and night had passed without him knowing.

Yawn. Lin Xuan stretched his waist. Even with him being a cultivator, without any rest, he still couldn’t avoid physical and mental exhaustion. He rubbed his dry eyes and his face was full of excitement.

I went everywhere, even broke my iron shoes seeking the truth, but still got nothing, who knew, it was just under my eyes2It means finding something by sheer luck, after searching for it far and wide.. This “Cultivation Method” really contains the first half of the “Yin-Yang Art”!

Of course, it was not written as a whole, but the first few phrases of every paragraph. Bringing them together, one would get the first part of the “Yin-Yang Art”.

It was a really good idea, hiding such a heaven-defying Magic Art in a trashy Cultivation Method.

He didn’t know what happened to that sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage or how it fell into the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

There were probably many twists and turns, but Lin Xuan was not interested. After several great sorrows and joys, he finally obtained this magical power that can alternate his Spiritual Power between Yin and Yang.

He was greatly delighted.

Lin Xuan did not rest and had already started to sort out the “Yin-Yang Art”. He picked out the relevant parts from the Heavenly Thunder Art, compiled the first half again. He then took out a blank Jade slip and engraved it together with the part from the paper fragment. With this, he now had the complete “Yin-Yang Art”.
