Nangong Lingyun carefully sensed the changes within himself. The Longevity Technique was far superior to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, especially in terms of utilizing spirit-related energy with the most yin cultivation methods; the latter was completely incomparable.
Based on Tang San's methods and abilities, he could only utilize at most one or two tenths of the energy contained within the Autumn Water Dew. However, Nangong Lingyun could achieve over ninety percent utilization.
Furthermore, since he didn't need, nor could he evolve his Martial Soul, all the energy was focused on increasing his strength. The power of extreme yin surged.
Originally, due to the short time he had cultivated the Longevity Technique, his extreme yin true qi was far inferior to his extreme yang true qi.
Even if it wasn't like a drop in the ocean, there was still a three to fourfold difference.
However, with his spiritual power strengthened by the Autumn Water Dew, and a slight enhancement to his soul's origin,
in just over two hours, it had begun to show a momentum of equal footing.
Although there were still differences in size and strength, at least they were no longer calculated by multiples.
And this wave of growth in the extreme Yin progress caused the upper limit of Yin and Yang energy to skyrocket, raising his overall strength once again.
After checking, Nangong Lingyun sighed slightly,
"It's a bit of a pity. Even without the Autumn Water Dew, normal cultivation would have gotten me to this point in less than six months.
If this were given to an ordinary mental-type Martial Soul, it could directly create a God seed."
The most powerful aspect of the celestial herbs wasn't just the increase in soul power,
but their ability to evolve Martial Souls and innate talent, which would greatly weaken the obstacles to becoming an Ultimate Douluo, and directly flatten the thresholds for Titles and even Super Douluos.
Figures like Gelong, Yu Luomian, and Mo Tiancheng could be considered monstrous, and were all comparable to the weakest Title Douluos.
But they were stuck at level eighty-nine for ten or even dozens of years, unable to advance.
The Shrek Seven Devils had all, without exception, achieved godhood, a testament to its effectiveness.
This was also the reason he knew about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well but had delayed harvesting its benefits.
The future God of Judgement and Lord of the God Realm couldn't be a lone wolf; he still needed subordinates.
However, weighing the pros and cons, he had to choose the lesser of two evils, and he couldn't pass up the opportunity to gain something.
With his golden finger, all other problems wouldn't be an issue; he could always resort to the summoning technique.
That evening, back at the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, Nangong Lingyun took a moment to compose himself and then reopened the virtual screen.
He was at level fifty, and he needed two new Soul Rings.
For the fifth Soul Ring of his Archaic Holy Body and Chaos Holy Spirit, he had a plan. It corresponded to a great divine ability from the 36 Heavenly Dipper Techniques, called Inverting Yin and Yang.
Among them, the Archaic Holy Body inverts the yin to become the yang, while the Chaos Holy Spirit inverts the yin to form the yang.
Combined with the soon-to-be-completed Longevity Technique, an extremely yin and yang cultivation method, it could unleash 120% of its power.
More importantly, it would definitely give rise to a Domain. If he were to activate a self-fused Martial Soul skill, it would become a composite Domain with multiple effects stacked on top of each other.
Compared to the simple recovery effect of the Great Unity of Heaven and Earth, it would be unbelievably strong.
However, the terrifying nature of this thing was enough to rank it in the top three among the 36 Heavenly Dipper Techniques. The other two were Manipulating Creation, which represents the power of creation, and Shifting Stars and Exchanging Constellations, which represents the culmination of spacetime techniques.
If one were to divide the 36 Techniques into levels, these three would be in a league of their own, far ahead of the others.
Even in the primordial world, it wouldn't be something just anyone could master.
Soul Rings with too low a lifespan would likely be unable to manifest it. A 100,000-year one would barely suffice, and it would probably only reach mastery with a million-year one.
Nangong Lingyun asked Angel Yan to appear and protect the Bronze Sparrow Terrace. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind communicating with Diaochan:
"Begin setting the Archaic Holy Body's fifth Soul Skill, named Inverting Yin and Yang. The Chaos Holy Spirit's fifth Soul Skill, named Reversing Yin into Yang.
The age limit should be directly enhanced to the maximum that both I and my Martial Soul can withstand, prioritizing quality and effect requirements.
Soul Ring Effect (Passive):
1. Greatly enhance the essence of the Holy Body and Holy Spirit,
Including but not limited to life, strength, blood, darkness, spirit, and death attributes, as well as the quality and purity of Yin and Yang energies.
The specific enhancement magnitude should not be weaker than a perfect Soul Ring produced by a Supreme God-King level pure Yang or pure Yin attribute divine beast with 100% compatibility.
2. Greatly develop the Holy Body's phenomena, increasing the ability of Yin and Yang to rotate and generate each other.
The specific development degree is the same as above.
3. From now on, the ultimate Yin energy and the ultimate Yang power are two sides of the same coin, mutually dependent. Yin can transform into Yang at any time, and Yang can also transform into Yin at any time.
When separated, they are opposed; when combined, they nurture. They share the same root and origin, mutually restraining and generating each other.
Skill Effects (Active): 1. From an energy level, alter the target's fundamental structure, transforming the Yang part into Yin, and the Yin part into Yang, reversing order and position, causing chaos to arise.
2. Heaven and Earth unite, and all things are born; Yin and Yang connect, and transformations begin. Master the power of Yin and Yang transformation.
3. When Yin and Yang unite, Chaos Power can be activated (referring to the self-Martial Soul fusion skill)."
As the words fell, Diaochan, as usual, gave a reminder, "Respected Master, are you sure you want to set this?
Before making a decision, please carefully consider the terms, check the wording, assess your spending ability, and check for any omissions."
Nangong Lingyun checked three times and decisively made his decision.
"Confirmed."
The next instant, both Martial Souls automatically attached themselves, with a white light ring quickly circling around each.
The Archaic Holy Body and the Chaos Holy Spirit had complementary characteristics that could trigger their own Martial Soul fusion skill, with a perfect 100% compatibility, and no conflict existed.
Accompanied by a feeling of being at the peak of excitement,
Nangong Lingyun could clearly feel his physique and mental strength rapidly expanding and strengthening.
The two originally distinct soul forces also began to merge into one, transforming into a cloud of chaotic mist.
From then on, both Martial Souls still each grasped extreme Yin and Yang, but when attached simultaneously, they would no longer individually possess the energies of extreme Yin and Yang, but would directly grasp the even stronger Chaos Power.
Of course, if needed, they could still be separated, not restricting themselves.
In this process, the white soul ring instantly turned yellow, then quickly shifted to purple.
Within three minutes, a dense, rich black light began to flicker within.
Half an hour later, a crimson hue began to emanate from the boundless darkness. Then, as if a drop of ink had fallen into clear water and was rapidly swirling, the red light spread and diffused, until not a trace of black remained.
A 100,000-year Soul Ring, complete.
At the same time, a new vision appeared behind Nangong Lingyun.
The Great Sun Burning Heaven, representing the Archaic Holy Body, and the Moon Rising Over the Sea, representing the Chaos Holy Spirit, underwent a peculiar transformation.
Their powers intertwined and merged, with chaos constantly generating and dissipating in between.
The sun and moon seemed to transform into two focal points, forming a terrifying, boundless array of water, fire, yin, and yang, embodying life and death.
Nangong Lingyun was terrible at naming things. He unhesitatingly stole Dong Ge's idea, giving the new phenomenon the name Yin Yang Life and Death Diagram.
It wasn't the first time he'd stolen something anyway, so what did it matter if he owed a little more?
