The two Taiji diagrams collided in the void.
Before the two palms came into contact, the heaven and earth between them collapsed together. All kinds of tangible and intangible substances were destroyed into primordial yin and yang.
It was hard to tell black from white. Two streams of air, one bright and one dark, were squeezed between the two palms, fluctuating back and forth.
As the two Tai Chi diagrams spun, they formed a huge suction force, trying to absorb the Yin and Yang energies into their palms.
However, the two sides affected each other, causing the Yin and Yang Qi to be in a stalemate.
The time and space in that area of the void seemed to have been frozen, and it maintained a state of being indistinct and non-existent.
Seeing the Taiji diagram on Yan Zhaoge's palm, Fu Ting was not too surprised at first, "So it is someone who cultivates in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture."
However, when the two Taiji diagrams collided head-on and the two palms collided, Fu Ting was immediately stunned.
"It's like the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture and the Taiji Yin Yang Palm of the Grand Clear direct lineage?!"
"What does he study?"
Fu Ting's gaze turned cold, and her expression turned solemn.
A Taiji symbol also appeared in her eyes. As it spun, the power of her palm increased.
At this moment, it was not only the bottom of Fu Ting's palm that was distorting. The space surrounding Fu Ting's body was also distorting and turning blurry.
The vital energy rippled like boiling water, and everything seemed to be returning to the primordial yin and yang.
However, the rotation of the Taiji diagram in her palm became slower and slower, gradually coming to a stop.
Facing this move of Yan Zhaoge's, Fu Ting's first guess was that Yan Zhaoge had secretly circulated the Yin Yang Finger in the guise of a palm art.
The Three Pure Ones were one, and most of their principles were interlinked.
The Grand Clear lineage cultivated in the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations. Amongst them, the Taiji Yin Yang Palm was a supreme martial art of the Jade Clear lineage. It was similar to the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage in describing the great dao of the heavens and earth.
Fu Ting came from a learned family. Although she did not understand the Yin Yang Heavenly Book, she understood the Yin Yang Heavenly Book's abilities better than ordinary people.
When the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture was cultivated to a certain level, it could shift yin and yang and reverse the universe. It could allow one to turn the attacks one was facing back to the enemy.
It was no longer as simple as borrowing strength to fight strength. His opponent was strong and his martial arts profound, so it was not that easy to "borrow" strength.
Instead, it was borrowing the power of heaven and earth to distort the most basic Yin and Yang Qi in the world, thereby distorting the opponent's power.
Therefore, upon seeing Yan Zhaoge's' Taiji Yin Yang Palm ', Fu Ting's first reaction was that Yan Zhaoge's attainments in the Yin Yang Finger were extremely high as he had reversed her Taiji Yin Yang Palm, thus forming a situation where she, Fu Ting, was fighting herself.
Fu Ting gathered her spirit and pushed her palm force to the extreme, but she did not release it. Instead, she kept accumulating power until a vacuum appeared under her palm.
In this way, even the Yin Yang Finger would not be able to "borrow" her strength.
But something even more unexpected happened.
Yan Zhaoge's palm force was unceasing, still attacking towards her with the momentum of toppling mountains and overturning seas!
Fu Ting's previous action of condensing and restraining her palm force had caused her to lose the initiative.
The two qis of yin and yang formed from the destruction and restoration of all things were unceasingly absorbed by the Taiji diagram on Yan Zhaoge's palm where they clashed.
Yan Zhaoge's palm was even more vigorous than before as it jolted Fu Ting into retreat.
Fu Ting was surprised. "It's not the Yin Yang Finger?"
Carefully analysing Yan Zhaoge's palm force, she discovered that it was indeed different from her own.
Even though they were both the Taiji Yin Yang Palms, they originated from different legacies. While they could both be considered to be of the Grand Clear direct lineage, they originated from different lineages.
It was just that the shadow of the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage was still present within as Fu Ting was truly unable to discern Yan Zhaoge's origins.
She had miscalculated and lost the initiative, falling to a disadvantage as her figure was directly jolted into retreat by Yan Zhaoge.
Fu Ting's gaze flickered as streams of plain-coloured cloud qi surfaced on her body.
As soon as the cloud qi appeared, Fu Ting's figure instantly stabilised amidst space, stopping her declining momentum.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "The Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body?"
Fu Ting said, "You have good eyesight."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It is too famous. It would be hard not to recognise it."
Of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations, the Grand Plainness Refined Form was the Immeasurable Body.
In the entire history of Daoism, it was one of the peak existences in terms of defensive power amongst the myriad martial arts.
Combined with the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form that was also a supreme martial art of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations, the two Manifestations combined as one, its defensive power was comparable to that of the Five Virtues.
The Lord of Primordial Beginning had the Primordial Heavenly Scripture that had been passed down throughout the world. While the Lord of Dao and Virtue who had established the foundation of the martial arts of the human dao instead had fewer direct lineages, it was not that he did not have a scripture of his own, the Daodejing.
The Daodejing of this world was not just a simple scripture of the Dao as it was also the convergence of the essence of the Grand Clear direct lineage, also known as the Daodejing or the Grand Supreme Daoist Scripture.
The Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations was a supreme martial art recorded within, its most exquisite aspect being comparable to the Earlier Heaven Three Scriptures of the Primordial Heavenly Scripture.
This was especially so for the first of the Five Manifestations, Grand Simplicity. From a certain perspective, it was similar to the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
Yan Zhaoge looked rather interestedly at Fu Ting. Her identity as a direct descendant of the Grand Clear direct lineage was indisputable.
It was just that he did not know if the Brocade Emperor's lineage was complete.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge now, Fu Ting was troubled.
Having clashed till now, she was instead increasingly unable to see through Yan Zhaoge's background.
It could not be that Yan Zhaoge really was of the Grand Clear direct lineage and cultivated in the Taiji Yin Yang Palm, right?
There were indeed traces of the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage in his martial dao. Still, that palm art of his just now left Fu Ting feeling apprehensive.
Her martial arts had clearly originated from him, yet she was unable to see through him. She had undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantageous position here.
After that palm, Yan Zhaoge retracted his palm, smiling as he said nothing.
He actually did not know the Taiji Yin Yang Palm.
Speaking of which, the Martial Repository of the Heavenly Court of the Divine Palace had more or less collected martial arts of the Jade Clear direct lineage and the Prime Clear direct lineage in the past. Yet, there just had been none of the Grand Clear direct lineage.
As a result, when Yan Zhaoge had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, the Three Purities had merged as one. The true intent of the Grand Clear lineage had required the Lord of Dao and Virtue to enlighten the masses and spread the seeds of virtue and virtue.
Yet, after successfully taking this step, while he still used the Peerless Heavenly Scripture as his foundation, it had long since ceased to be a sole Jade Clear lineage.
The Three Purities merged as one, being profound beyond being profound.
The Peerless Heavenly Scripture manifested all arts, also being linked to Grand Simplicity of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations.
Meanwhile, the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture was linked to Grand Ultimate.
Therefore, with Fu Ting's template before him, Yan Zhaoge was able to temporarily derive the Taiji Yin Yang Palm.
While Fu Ting thought that he had not executed the Yin Yang Finger, Yan Zhaoge had actually still done so.
If it were any other martial practitioner of the Jade Clear direct lineage who cultivated in the Peerless Heavenly Scripture or the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, it would be very difficult for them to achieve this. Thus, Fu Ting was left puzzled.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge was able to achieve this.
While Fu Ting would eventually discover some clues about this if they continued fighting for a prolonged period of time, having only exchanged a single move, however she looked at it, Yan Zhaoge had indeed executed the Taiji Yin Yang Palm.
Probing the other party to be a descendant of the Prime Clear lineage, she had instead found out that he was of the Grand Clear direct lineage just like her?
If it was not a coincidence, this would simply be a silent mockery.
Fu Ting did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
The Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners could not help but stare at each other, feeling both amused and stifled. (To be continued.)
