I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 912 The Method of Gathering Qi, Yang Deficiency

Ye Kang still has two million comprehension points left, which should be enough to comprehend the three inheritances.

Of course, what he really cared about was not these three inheritances, but the S-level Martial God inheritance that he could extract later, which was his biggest goal.

Ye Kang roused himself, not wasting a single ounce of his energy, and closed his eyes to meditate.

The primordial spirit was released, constantly capturing the Dao traces around it, but unfortunately, the primordial spirit of the Nirvana Realm was too weak, and the Dao traces didn't even notice it.

Ye Kang wasn't in a hurry; he had just been familiarizing himself with the process.

The contact between the primordial spirit and the Dao trace is an extremely mysterious state. After many failures, Ye Kang has made some general judgments.

Only then did the system begin to officially consume comprehension.

As the remaining comprehension points began to decrease, Ye Kang's mind instantly cleared, and waves of insights descended upon him.

He was in a daze, and in the midst of profound enlightenment, a golden figure slowly materialized.

"Young man, how did you do that?"

Suddenly, the golden figure spoke.

Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed.

The figure's voice was full of curiosity, and although it didn't carry much of a threat, the domineering tone still made Ye Kang frown.

Emperor Wu!

Without a doubt, this person could only be the Martial Emperor, perhaps a lingering remnant, a split soul, or even a lingering image. However, because the Martial Emperor was too powerful, even the lingering image gradually developed its own thoughts.

Ye Kang swallowed hard. He knew this wasn't inside the Martial God Space, but rather in his own consciousness, or rather, deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

He said respectfully, "Please forgive me, senior; I was unaware of this either."

Ye Kang simply pretended to be stupid, after all, the power of the system was something even a Martial Emperor couldn't see through.

The golden figure became even more curious, but after a moment, he could only nod and say, "What an extraordinary person! Such talent is rare in the world."

He turned around and said with a smile, "I am not Wu Dao, but merely a glimpse of him that happens to merge with a trace of his Dao. However, you could also say that I am Wu Dao."

The golden figure revealed its origins to Ye Kang without reservation.

At that moment, Ye Kang felt as if thunder had exploded in his ears, and even his primordial spirit seemed to be targeted by some unknown taboo.

Those who have reached the Dao Integration Realm can only be addressed by their Dharma name, not their real name.

The name of the One Who Harmonizes with the Dao is already in harmony with the Great Dao, and is therefore taboo.

The golden figure before them was originally a part of Emperor Wu, and since Emperor Wu was already dead, there was naturally no problem.

But even just hearing the name seemed to Ye Kang abhor something from the unseen world.

This is simply unbelievable! After all, Emperor Wu should have died long ago!

This can only mean one thing: Emperor Wu's Dao Integration Realm is different from other Dao Integration Realm cultivators. Or rather, he might be stronger.

Of course, these are all just Ye Kang's guesses.

At least he learned Emperor Wu's real name: Wu Dao.

At this moment, the golden figure continued, "I've given myself a name, 'Mourning Shadow,' what do you think?"

Ye Kang nodded: "Good name."

"Hahaha! You're quite amusing. In all this time, only two people have seen me, and you're one of them. Do you know who the previous person was?"

"It must be the current Holy Emperor."

"Wrong! This group of martial arts bloodlines are unambitious and have no right to see me."

Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then his face turned liver-colored.

Damn it, what secrets is this guy talking about? Is it something a little Nirvana like me should be able to hear?

However, Dao Ying completely ignored Ye Kang's resistance and said to herself, "Since you have the ability to lure me out, you must be after Wu Dao's inheritance. Tell me, martial arts or techniques?"

Ye Kang narrowed his eyes, never expecting things to develop this way. However, Dao Ying's personality seemed a bit strange, so it was best not to be modest in front of him.

Therefore, Ye Kang said directly, "If you could give me five copies of the inheritance, I would be eternally grateful."

"What! You brat, you're insatiable! You're even asking for more! Five inheritances? Why don't you just rob some! Three at most!"

"That's fine then, thank you for the method, senior."

Ye Kang nodded without hesitation, without any bargaining.

That was his original intention; offering five portions was merely giving the other party a chance to negotiate.

After all, you've already paid it back once, so you can't very well pay it back again, can you?

Sure enough, Daoying quickly realized Ye Kang's cleverness and immediately laughed, "What an audacious fellow! Besides, you're not even from Leizhou, are you?"

"Replying to senior, I followed my master to flee to the Black Desert and accidentally entered Leizhou."

"That's not all. You are born lacking in yang energy, which is a flaw in your destiny. You will never be able to achieve harmony with the Dao in this lifetime."

"What?" Ye Kang was dumbfounded, completely failing to understand what Dao Ying was talking about.

What kind of fate is deficient, and what is Yang?

Seeing Ye Kang's bewilderment, Dao Ying chuckled: "It seems you don't know either, so I'll remind you once: a Daoist achieves perfect Yin and Yang, each with its own three parts. Do you know that?"

Ye Kang nodded: "Yin Chu, Yang Chu, Yin Shi, Yang Shi, Yin Mie, Yang Mie, the three Yin and three Yang, each perfected, can refine the Saint Realm and prove the Dao with one's body."

Ye Kang knew, of course, that this was the cultivation method for the Returning to Truth Realm, and also the division of realms.

That's right, the Returning to Truth Realm only has six minor realms, and it's completely different from the Nirvana Realm. The Returning to Truth Realm is extremely unstable; if either Yin or Yang is imperfect, there's no possibility of progressing even a fraction. Moreover, each time one refines Yin or Yang, there's a chance to reverse one's foundation. This manifests in appearance as some people aging, some becoming younger, and some even getting older while others get younger.

When Yin and Yang are perfectly balanced, it signifies the complete attainment of the state of returning to simplicity and authenticity. At this moment, a martial artist's cultivation level is closest to the aura of the creation of heaven and earth, making it possible to trigger the Dao traces.

But why is this guy telling me all this?

Ye Kang looked puzzled.

Could it be related to the absence of positive results he mentioned?

Daoying smiled again: "It seems you've realized it. That's right, you were born lacking a yang element, so how can you talk about perfection?"

"I have never heard of such words before, senior, so how can I believe them?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I just find you interesting and am giving you a heads-up. You're lucky, kid. Since you've met me, I can't let you come for nothing. I've carefully selected three inheritances for you. If you can fully digest them, it will be enough for you to step into the Yin Extinction Realm."

Without offering any explanation, Dao Ying vanished, leaving three points of light that simultaneously disappeared into Ye Kang's brow.

Ye Kang, who was in the Martial God Space, suddenly opened his eyes after understanding the three Martial Emperor inheritances. Next to him was Su Hongxiu, who looked completely bewildered.

"You're awake? I thought you were asleep."

It turned out that during the time Ye Kang had closed his eyes, Su Hongxiu had already walked to his side and entered within eight hundred feet.

Within this scope, one will surely be able to obtain a copy of Emperor Wu's martial arts.

Ye Kang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Chief Instructor. You go ahead first, I'll follow shortly."

"Tch, they all say you've shown your true colors and can't move at all."

Su Hongxiu's words seemed mocking, but they were actually full of sarcasm towards those people.

Who could understand this good student better than her?

How could mere intimidation trap him and prevent him from moving an inch? He's probably having some kind of extraordinary encounter and is laughing at him right now.

Su Hongxiu still completely trusted Ye Kang, and immediately continued forward, taking a difficult step.

Ye Kang didn't say much, his mind already sinking into the Ink Jade Realm, on the Celestial Immortal Mountain.

"The three inheritances consist of one martial art and two cultivation techniques. Although the cultivation techniques are sufficient to establish a sect, they are still not as good as the Supreme Heart Sutra of Taiqing. Let's put them in the library for now."

Ye Kang was a knowledgeable man. With a quick scan of his divine sense, he knew that although the cultivation technique given by Dao Ying was good, it was not the true cultivation technique passed down by the Martial Emperor. However, it was not bad to put it in the library and give the people in the Ink Jade Realm a new option.

The other two inheritances are martial arts, one of which is a Nirvana Realm martial art. Ye Kang doesn't need to learn it; he can leave it to the Ink Jade Realm.

The last martial arts technique was the best thing for him.

The Yuan Shen martial art is called "Immaculate Soul Division".

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Return to Truth Martial Art: Immaculate Soul Split]

[Immaculate Soul Split: In this world, there exist Immaculate Immortals, transcending the mortal realm, their immortal souls pure and unburdened, roaming freely across heaven and earth. However, truly immaculate beings do not exist. Therefore, a mysterious powerful being comprehended a technique from the legends of Immaculate Immortals, reversing the cultivation of Immaculate Immortal souls, not for oneself, but for others. Anyone with a flawed primordial spirit or a defiled Dao heart will inevitably be cleansed by the power of Immaculate Immortality, causing instant damage to their primordial spirit. However, this technique requires a host's primordial spirit as a medium to draw upon the power of Immaculate Immortality; therefore, it is necessary to cultivate an Immaculate Soul Split beforehand as an avatar.]

[Note: To begin practicing Immaculate Soul Splitting, you need 2000000 Comprehension Points. Your current Comprehension Points are insufficient.]

Upon seeing the system notification, Ye Kang couldn't help but smile.

Emperor Wu is truly something else; he actually possesses such miraculous martial arts techniques. If he were to catch someone off guard during a battle, their primordial spirit would be severely damaged, leaving them with no strength to fight again.

Just when I was lacking a powerful primordial spirit technique, this was a godsend.

Ye Kang's comprehension had been reset to zero. That's right, the price for seeing Dao Ying was the complete loss of two million comprehension points. Fortunately, the other party gave him three inheritances, which was considered as completing the mission.

Ye Kang's mind returned to the Martial God Space, and the system voice sounded again at the same time.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Successor of the Martial God]

[Task Rewards: 3000000 Comprehension Points, 1 chance to draw an S-rank Martial God Inheritance]

The mission is complete, all your enlightenment has returned, and you also get a chance to draw a prize.

Without hesitation, Ye Kang chose to participate in the lottery.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on drawing an S-level Martial God Inheritance: Azure Nether Qi Gathering Technique]

[Azure Qi Gathering Technique: Created by the Martial Emperor, it can gather the most proud Azure Qi from the sea of ​​clouds, refine the spirit with Qi, and allow one to reach the initial Yin Realm.]

The simple and unadorned introduction made Ye Kang's eyes widen, his face filled with surprise.

He didn't understand before, but since Ke Yuanzhou woke up, someone explained it to him, and Ye Kang has a thorough understanding of the subsequent cultivation.

The Return to Truth Realm, simply put, is about refining one's spirit with qi, collecting the qi of heaven and earth to replenish the six qi of a martial artist.

At the same time, only by understanding the type of Qi of Heaven and Earth being refined can one attract the corresponding Dao traces.

For example, if one refines a wisp of stove fire energy, it might attract a trace of immortal chef's Dao.

Therefore, every person in the True Realm will plan their own path, and every wisp of energy will be the most suitable for them, or rather, the strongest.

Strictly speaking, Ye Kang already possessed these energies of heaven and earth.

The azure energy and blood-scale treasure energy I had absorbed before were both types of heaven and earth energy, but their grades were not high and they were too ordinary.

Azure Aura is undoubtedly one of the top-tier auras.

The Dao traces drawn out by the Azure Qi are all extremely powerful, so there's no need to choose.

As expected of an S-rank martial god's inheritance, just taking out this Qi gathering technique would definitely cause a stir throughout the entire Nine Provinces.

Ye Kang was very excited and immediately finished learning the Qi Gathering Technique. Then he focused his mind on the Ink Jade Realm, entered the Water Tower Space, and found Ke Yuanzhou.

The latter was meditating when Ye Kang directly handed him the Qi Gathering Method: "Sir, please take a look. Is there any problem with this method?"

After reading it, Ke Yuanzhou's eyes also showed surprise: "What a great method! It can indeed gather the azure energy of the sea of ​​clouds, but it is not easy. You must go to Buzhou Mountain and climb to the top of the sea of ​​clouds to have any chance of doing it."

Buzhou Mountain is located in the northern region of Kuizhou and is guarded by a top-tier sect.

Ke Yuanzhou then added, "If you can gather this energy, you can obtain the Yin Initial stage, and your combat power will probably be unmatched. Moreover, Qingming is Yin energy, and its grade is exactly equivalent to the Yang energy I cultivate. At that time, you can try to gather the energy and ascend to the Yang Initial stage."

Ke Yuanzhou had naturally also practiced qi extraction and was very experienced.

Ye Kang was greatly encouraged, but then his eyes showed worry as he recounted the missing positive result that Dao Ying had just mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Ke Yuanzhou frowned deeply.

After a long while, he slowly said, "This is something I overlooked before. Perhaps he wasn't exaggerating. It's just that you were born from the debris of Qingzhou after its destruction, not from the area under the jurisdiction of the orthodox Nine Provinces."

"What impact will this have?" Ye Kang was taken aback.

Ke Yuanzhou sighed and said, "Not only you, but everyone in the fragments of Luofu has this deficiency. If we want to reverse it, I'm afraid only one person can do it."

"Who?"

"Yin Saint Demon Lord. He is the last Dao Integration Realm expert of the Holy Sect, and the only one who could possibly be alive today. He possesses the complete aura of the Holy Sect, and only he can replenish your missing Yang energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded.

【Ding】

[Mission Released: The Mystery of the Yin Saint]

[Task Requirements: Find the Yin Saint Demon Lord and replenish the Yang energy]

[Task Reward: 10000000 Comprehension Points]

Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes changed drastically.

Wait a minute!?

How many zeros?

Ten million!

Ye Kang almost shouted out loud. The reward for this mission was a whopping ten million! That was too incredible!

This also shows that the mission is very difficult; they have no idea where to find that mysterious Yin Saint Demon Lord!

Fortunately, the missing result is only the last positive result, so there's no need to worry for now.

Ye Kang gritted his teeth, his expression slightly bitter.

I never imagined that just because I was born in a small town, I would have an extra negative buff of being born disabled. What a terrible world!

At this moment, Ye Kang wished he could look up to the sky and roar, shouting to the heavens:

"You Kyushu locals think you're so great, huh?!"
