53 Nine Yin and Nine Yang (1/2)

The Heaven and Earth Great Shift was the earliest and most profound teaching of the Ming Cult. It was not inferior to the enduring martial arts teachings of the Nine Ying Scripture and Nine Yang Scripture.

At that time, The Heaven and Earth Great Shift was known to have seven levels. However, in reality it only had six levels of techniques. The seventh level had never been cultivated by anyone, but was in a realm created by the imagination of the creator. Over the thousands of years of impartation of skills by the Ming Clan, nobody had ever cultivated the seventh level.

After the Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan had reached the magical realm, he relied on a very exciting and lively understanding of martial arts teachings to successfully complete the seventh level of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift. From then on, The Heaven and Earth Great Shift became a complete martial arts teaching guide.

However, in order to cultivate the seventh level of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift, one first had to learn the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Scripture to understand the interconnection and alternations of Yin and Yang before achieving the seventh level of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

The Nine Yin Scripture and the Nine Yang Scripture were already considered the strongest martial arts teachings in the world. Wanting to cultivate them was not an easy task. In fact, if one did not have the talent for it, he could live his whole life without achieving anything. As for a talented individual, learning one of them would already take a lot of effort and basically impossible to cultivate both books in entirety.

Someone with talent like the Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan would only be produced once in a few hundred years. So even though the Ming Clan's Heaven and Earth Great Shift had been completed to the seventh level, nobody had been able to cultivate it after the Leader of the 34th generation.

Despite that, the Ming Clan had maintained their position at the pinnacle of Central Plains martial arts. The clan expanded their power and influence, and had surpassed many of the ancient martial arts to become the most powerful.

It could be said that after the Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan, every generation's Leader was the strongest in all of martial arts and the clan was at the forefront of martial arts.

Even though nobody could learn both the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Scripture simultaneously after the Leader of the 34th generation, it did not mean that it was useless for more than one book to have been created. Conversely, it was precisely because of the existence of both books that ensured the presence of two strong martial artists in each generation of the Ming Clan.

Back then, there were many reforms going on within the Ming Clan and a new position of the Sacred Maiden had been created. That position was just below the Leader and allowed for the cultivation of the clan's most treasured and unparalleled martial arts.

The Ming Clan stipulated that the Leader was to cultivate the Nine Yang Scripture while the Sacred Maiden was to cultivate the Nine Yin Scripture. Once they had successfully cultivated both, the Yang and Yin would complement each other. With a joint practice of combined cultivation, they could achieve the cultivation of both the Nine Yin and Nine Yang within a short period of time. One could say that the Ming Clan's Leaders and Sacred Maidens were all couples. Only with the husband and wife working together with one heart could the Nine Yin and Nine Yang be successfully cultivated.

Moreover, the gist of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift was based on the fact that Yin and Yang could be interchanged and enhance The Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

It was purely by Yang and Yin, where the two are combined in cultivation, that would allow for one to truly grasp the exquisiteness of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

Hence, after the Leader and the Sacred Maiden had cultivated the Nine Yin and Nine Yang with a joint practice of combined cultivation, they could cultivate the sixth level of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift within a very short period of time.

Although the joint practice of combined cultivation was not done as one entity and would not allow the cultivation of the seventh level of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift, it could still ensure that the Leader and Sacred Maiden would achieve the sixth level of The Heaven and Earth Great Shift and become powerful martial arts practitioners.

Mo Wen looked at the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Scripture in his hand and thought to himself with amusement: he and Qin Xiaoyou had fell into the cave abode at the same time. One was Yin and the other was Yang and the two would complement each other. They could begin cultivating the Nine Yin Scripture and Nine Yang Scripture. Perhaps it was their fate that just did not allow it.

He flipped open the Nine Yang Scripture and started to read it thoroughly. As time went by, his expression became gradually more solemn and his entire being had been immersed in the Nine Yang Scripture. With each word and sentence, two hours had passed before Mo Wen completed the reading of the Nine Yang Scripture.

However, he did not stop and continued flipping open the Nine Yin Scripture. After two hours, he slowly closed the book and shut his eyes for a little, before once again flipping open The Heaven and Earth Great Shift. After two hours, he shut his eyes once again.
