Chapter 1067 - Ranks of Yin Yang Qi (1/2)
Mo Wen had quite a few pills with him, and he even had quite a few profound level pills. As an expert alchemist, he was able to keep producing them as long as he had enough materials.
On the seventh day, he finally raised his cultivation to the pinnacle of the Tide Changing Realm later-stage, and he was only one step away from the Tide Changing Realm intermediary stage.
However, breaking through to the next level was much more complicated than increasing one’s cultivation. Immortal cultivators could cultivate and get from the Tide Changing Realm preliminary stage to the pinnacle of the Tide Changing Realm preliminary stage, by relying on the pills. But even breaking through to the Tide Changing Realm intermediary stage within 70 years or even 700 years might not be possible, let alone seven days. This next step’s difficulty was at least 100 times higher than all of the previous steps combined.
For the average cultivator, there was nothing they could do when they got this point, except to slowly cultivate and hone their skills until the breakthrough came. But Mo Wen was different. He could break through within a day, and this step was, incidentally, much easier for him. This was because of his days in the Junior Master’s Pagoda, where he had thoroughly and properly built his foundation, and his bottleneck was quickly abated.
On the eighth day, Mo Wen no longer took any more pills. All he did was cultivate quietly.
On the morning of the ninth day, Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes. A beam of light shot out from his eyes. At the same time, an overpowering aura swept out with him in the center of it. The pressure on his body was growing more and more powerful, and it was unlikely that the average cultivator with a great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm could be this powerful.
The Tide Changing Realm intermediary stage! He had finally broken through to the Tide Changing Realm intermediary stage. The Yin Yang Qi in his body rose yet again, increasing to almost twice the force it had been. It surged slowly but steadily within his body, it was vast and boundless. Although he was only at the Tide Changing Realm intermediary stage, the total amount of Yin Yang Qi within him was almost on par with that of a cultivator with a great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm.
“With my current cultivation, I should be able to hold my own against the Muhong City Mayor. As for whether or not I can kill him, that still seems unlikely.”
Mo Wen pondered on this issue. Killing a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator was undoubtedly not an easy task, but he was at least more prepared for it now. It would be ideal if he could cultivate his Yin Yang Qi to the Yin Yang Understanding realm.
Yin Yang Qi was a kind of energy cultivated by immortal cultivators. In essence, it was no different from spiritual power. Since it was a form of energy, there would naturally be stages to cultivating it.
Mo Wen knew from Zhang Poxiao’s legacy that there were five stages to Yin Yang Qi, and the first was Yin Yang Fusion.
Yin Yang Fusion was the very first stage that Yin Yang existed in. When Mo Wen had first started cultivating Yin Yang Qi, this was the stage it had been in.
The second stage was Yin Yang Understanding, and it was the second step to cultivating Yin Yang Qi. The third stage was Yin Yang Mutualism, the fourth was Yin Yang Harmony, and the fifth was Yin Yang Oneness.
Zhang Poxiao had been a prodigy back in his day with his advanced achievements on the Path of Yin Yang. He had actually managed to cultivate Yin Yang Understanding even when he had only been at the Tide Changing Realm.
Because of that, Zhang Poxiao could mercilessly wipe out many Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators when his cultivation had only been at the great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm. He had been a peerless talent.
The regular immortal cultivator, even if they had also been cultivating Yin Yang Qi, were probably unlikely to achieve the second phase, Yin Yang Understanding.
Mo Wen was aware that his talents were nothing to scoff at, but wanting to cultivate the Yin Yang Understanding while he was still at the Tide Changing Realm seemed almost impossible.
His understanding and attainment of the Path of Yin Yang could not be compared to Zhang Poxiao. Zhang Poxiao had mainly cultivated the Path of Yin Yang and had solely focused on it. On top of that, his cultivation had been broader, and he did a variety of things. These were two very different ways of cultivating, and it was difficult to say for sure that one was better than the other, so you could only say that they took different paths.
