Join the ServerThe competition on Su Liyue’s side had just concluded when the horn signaling the start of Ye Xingchen’s match sounded.
This perfect timing highlighted the advantage of his two bodies. Unlike others who had to choose between watching one arena or the other, he only needed to divert a sliver of his consciousness to observe both matches simultaneously.
Moreover, the value of this female body extended far beyond that.
Ye Xingchen had long since planned that once Su Liyue’s cultivation steadily improved—especially after she ascended to the cultivation world—the simple fact of being able to fight “two against one” would already be a net gain.
Even in the cultivation world, where experts were as common as clouds, those who painstakingly cultivated avatars could only endow them with a fraction of the original’s power, at most replicating the original’s techniques and abilities. Achieving equal strength was simply impossible.
But his two bodies were fundamentally different. They were not a “main body and avatar” relationship; they were two tangible, independently acting entities.
Better still, the two bodies could cultivate entirely different techniques.
The male body delved into cultivation methods, while the female body refined magical mysteries. They did not interfere with each other yet could share insights.
Moreover, each body could fully exert one hundred percent of its power, not to mention the innate默契 they shared.
After all, both were his own bodies. Compared to cooperating with others, he didn’t need excessive movements or glances to instantly understand his own intentions and execute combined techniques far beyond what any avatar user could manage. The seamless cooperation would probably put many lifelong avatar cultivators to shame.
But recently, a question had been circling in Ye Xingchen’s mind: The “Yin-Yang Qiankun Art” that his female body was cultivating—its profundity likely went far beyond merely fusing the spiritual power of the male body with the magical power of the female body.
He still remembered the scene of his master’s passing. The old master had earned a fearsome reputation in the cultivation world solely through the swordsmanship of this art. Unfortunately, back then, the master had only given a few brief instructions, left the technique, and passed away without revealing its secrets or detailed procedures.
And the words “Yin-Yang” and “Qiankun” were not casually mentioned in the cultivation world.
Anyone who had embarked on the path of cultivation knew that the origin of the universe was the two energies of Yin and Yang. The first order derived from chaos at the dawn of heaven and earth was the balance of Yin and Yang. And Qiankun, in the Eight Trigrams, represented Heaven and Earth, Father and Mother. The so-called “Yin Earth Kun gives birth to Qian Yang Metal” essentially embodied the principle of mutual generation between Yin and Yang.
Words concerning the fundamental origin of heaven and earth being used as the name of a technique were enough to indicate that the Yin-Yang Qiankun Art was no ordinary method.
Wait—a thought suddenly struck him: If Taiji was the equilibrium point of Yin and Yang’s rotation, then wasn’t the female body’s magic power and the male body’s spiritual power exactly the two intertwining energies in that Taiji?
If someday the female body’s magic reserves reached a critical point, forming a perfect balance with the male body’s spiritual power, and combined with the mastery of time that a mage could attain upon advancing to Eternal—wouldn’t that mean he could merge the spatial power of a cultivator with the mysteries of time, ultimately controlling the legendary power of space-time?
This idea made his heartbeat quicken slightly. What further convinced him this was no fantasy was that, ever since the female body began cultivating the Yin-Yang Qiankun Art, he had noticed she could vaguely draw on part of the male body’s spiritual power. Although she was still weak and the amount she could draw was pitifully small, it was enough to prove that the energies of the two bodies could interflow.
Conversely, the male body should also be able to draw on the female body’s magic power. Moreover, as the two energies had quietly merged within him recently, his cultivation speed had increased several times over. At this rate, the female body might break through to the level of a Formal Mage before long—perhaps even reach a higher level before graduation.
Even in the history of this magic academy, those who could break through to Formal Mage before graduation were already considered geniuses among geniuses, let alone breaking through to an even higher level—that had never happened before.
He just didn’t know how many secrets of the Yin-Yang Qiankun Art remained undiscovered, much like the Qimen Dunjia he was cultivating—a technique that could be considered the supreme and most mysterious method in the cultivation world and even the spirit world.
Legend had it that cultivating this technique to a certain realm allowed one not only to perceive the mysteries of the universe but also to comprehend the true essence of nature, to understand life itself, and to achieve the realm of “unity of heaven and man” proposed by the sage Laozi.
Though the Qimen Dunjia technique was mysterious and powerful, no one had ever reached that realm. Cultivating it was inherently difficult; even entry required great mental fortitude, and it was said that “nine out of ten Qimen practitioners go mad.” Just reaching a decent level was already an achievement, let alone the legendary supreme realm.
As for the Yin-Yang Qiankun Art—its power aside, its mystery currently was no less than that of Qimen Dunjia.
If one interpreted it literally from the surface meaning of Yin and Yang, could the female body activate two different energies simultaneously, like the “Yin-Yang dual cultivation” mentioned in the technique? Thinking back to his master’s distinct sword techniques in each hand—the left hand flowing like water, the right hand fierce as thunder—perhaps that was the manifestation of two energies.
Even better, this world had not only magic and spiritual power but also a power system called battle qi. If the female body could cultivate both magic and battle qi under the Yin-Yang Qiankun Art’s enhancement, her strength might undergo a qualitative leap.
It seemed a trip to the Xuanhuang Divine Domain Empire was necessary. Perhaps clues to unlock the Yin-Yang Qiankun Art’s secrets were hidden there.
But for now, the focus was the competition. Those thoughts were too far ahead, as the alchemy potions match was about to begin.
When Ye Xingchen had entered the academy, he chose the subject of alchemy after careful consideration.
Alchemy in this world was a comprehensive discipline that covered not only creating alchemical items but also compounding potions.
This course integrated the mixing of alchemical medicines, analysis of physical structures, control of chemical changes, and even contained an understanding of energy transformation.
In this world rampant with magic, potion-making was of paramount importance. Whether healing medicines or magic-enhancing potions, all relied on precise alchemical techniques.
He had combined the alchemy of the cultivation world with this world’s potion science, and recently discovered many new formulas. The feeling of inspiration striking was more exhilarating than breaking through a cultivation level.
Additionally, the male body had the attribute of elemental affinity to nothing, making no subject more suitable for him than this one.
“Competitors, prepare to enter the arena.” As the referee instructor’s voice rang out, the students began to prepare for entry.
