"Boom, boom, boom …" The black and white flames spread out in all directions of the formation, and the black and white shadows that had gathered were reduced to nothingness.
When the black and white shadows disappeared, Shengyu's nine tails began to move. It was the same as what Xiao Hua had seen before, except that Shengyu's nine tails were now black and white. They spun like light wheels, and shadows of the nine-tailed fox flew into Jiu Xia's body. A green shadow appeared in Jiu Xia's body, and the green shadow overlapped on the surface of Jiu Xia's body.
On the other side of Shengyu, Xiao Hua looked shocked as he watched carefully. The nine-tailed fox sculpture was still staring at Xiao Hua. When the sculpture's nine tails swayed, the light from its eyes fell on Xiao Hua. A faint golden halo appeared on the surface of Xiao Hua's body. The halo also appeared and overlapped. After a meal, a faint golden crystal-like divinity condensed!
"Brother-in-law …" Jiu Xia did not need to speak. With a thought, Xiao Hua could hear it clearly. "You can meditate now!"
"Alright!" Xiao Hua agreed and sat down cross-legged. The faint golden light rushed into the nine-tailed fox sculpture!
"Swoosh swoosh." The black and white shadows around the nine-tailed fox sculpture trembled and separated, turning into two sculptures, one pure black and one pure white.
The white entered Xiao Hua's body where he sat cross-legged, while the black entered Jiu Xia's body that had returned to its original form!
Then, Qingqiu Xia began to revolve around the crystal-like divinity. Strange light threads flowed mysteriously within Xiao Hua and Jiu Xia's bodies. Some strange insights and dazzling light and shadows fell into Xiao Hua and Jiu Xia's minds!
The black and white shadows in the Duality Disintegration Formation were crushed into black and white as the Qingqiu Xia's shadow spun and entered.
Around the year of the Ninth Life, Xiao Hua's body began to dim. The white turned into a human silhouette, while Jiu Xia's body solidified. The black condensed into nine fox tails.
After another thirty-six generations, Xiao Hua's figure completely disappeared. His white figure gradually transformed into the word 'Dao'. The Nine Summer Demon Body transformed into a pitch-black nine-tailed fox, looking exactly the same as Sheng Yu from before.
Another seventy-two generations later, the crystalline form of the pale-golden shadow began to spin on its own. The word 'Dao' turned into a Taiji, and the Nine Tails began to fade under the cover of the Green Hill's shadow.
In the eighty-one lifetimes that followed, the crystalline form spun even faster as the Dao character evolved without stopping. "Dao birthed Taiji, Taiji birthed Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang birthed the Four Divisions, Four Divisions birthed the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams birthed all things …" Within the silhouette of Green Hill, the pitch-black nine-tailed fox began to grow one tail, two tails … and eventually nine tails, following the rhythm of the Dao character's evolution!
The silhouette of the Green Hill spun even faster, connecting with the crystalline form to almost form a distinct black and white vortex. The black and white silhouettes within the formation were all drawn in, turning into black and white that fused into the vortex!
And when the vortex spun to its limit, every black and white within the formation was pulled into the vortex, leaving only the final white canopy and black land!
With a 'pop', as if a bubble had burst, the black and white world was split into two, with a golden and green vortex flying out of a speck of dust!
Beyond the speck of dust was another place where black and white silhouettes overflowed. It appeared no different from the speck of dust that Xiao Hua had entered before, and no one could tell if it was another speck of dust or a speck of dust that was outside of the previous one. Either way, the pale-golden and green vortex continued to tear apart the black and white silhouettes within the speck of dust …
As the generations passed, the immortal formations of black and white specks of dust were pulled into the vortex one after another, seemingly without end.
Within the whirling pale-golden crystal, the pure-white Dao character endlessly evolved the mysteries of the heavens, with Xiao Hua sitting cross-legged amidst the evolution of the heavens.
When the first black and white silhouettes were torn apart and poured into Xiao Hua's body, Xiao Hua was overjoyed and hurriedly invoked the Grand Ultimate Sutra. At the same time, the secret art within Green Hill Shengyu turned into a silhouette and entered his mind, with the silhouette of Jiuxia's nine-tailed fox appearing as well, demonstrating the mysteries of the secret art to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua felt himself turning into a nine-tailed fox as well, becoming one with Jiuxia as Green Hill revealed its mysterious silhouette to him.
The first silhouette to appear was the Sun Shrouding Sky Raising Art. When Xiao Hua had first set foot in the world of immortals, he had already cultivated the Sun Shrouding Sky Raising Art's rudimentary technique — the Mustard Condensation Art. It was a technique that tempered the nascent spirit, repeatedly refining a strand of it to its limits before releasing it at last. That strand of nascent spirit would weigh as heavy as a mountain, and that was how Xiao Hua had managed to escape with his life back then. Now that there was an even more advanced technique, why wouldn't he try it out? Therefore, after perfecting the Mustard Condensation Art and cultivating it to its limits, Xiao Huayu began to study the new technique.
The Sun Shrouding Sky Raising Art's advanced technique was called the Siphoning Whale Devouring Art. It was similar to the Spirit Realm's Secret Art of Spirit Devouring, but even more tyrannical. It directly devoured another's nascent spirit for one's own use, something that Xiao Hua didn't quite like. He had originally wanted to abandon it like a shoe, but then he remembered that he had the Three Flowers and Five Qi in his immortal mark. It wasn't easy to refine the essence of the 12 Golden Immortals, so the Siphoning Whale Devouring Art was just right. He also remembered that the Devil Swamp's technique was devouring, and so was the Deva's inheritance. As long as he devoured it openly, he would be able to live up to his conscience. There was nothing wrong with that.
Therefore, Xiao Hua also stealthily comprehended it. He began to use the Siphoning Whale Devouring Art to refine the Three Flowers and Five Qi in his immortal mark, pushing the Art of Stepping Gods Watchtower to the ultimate level.
After practicing the Siphoning Whale Devouring Art for a long time, Xiao Hua realized that there would be some backlash. After all, devouring wasn't as good as refining. However, Xiao Hua was happy that the Qingqiu Sect's mystic technique also had a mystic technique that could prevent backlash. For example, the True Omnipotence Immovable Art. This True Omnipotence Immovable Art wasn't something that Xiao Hua could comprehend, but something that Jiu Xia had learned. When Xiao Hua thought of this, Jiu Xia immediately had an epiphany. Not only did he use the True Omnipotence Immovable Art to eliminate Xiao Hua's backlash, but he also imparted the True Omnipotence Immovable Art to Xiao Hua.
After practicing the Siphoning Whale Devouring Art and the True Omnipotence Immovable Art, Xiao Hua slightly probed the Yin and Yang Dust Array outside. The black and white light shadows were still shattering, and the dust particles were annihilated one after another. It seemed like there was no end to it. Therefore, Xiao Hua put away Wannian and was about to continue practicing. However, when Wannian swept his gaze over the shattered dust array, he had a thought.
Because the dust array was a large array, there were boundary laws inside. When the dust particles shattered, mysterious fluctuations were generated, and there were even some flashes of lightning in the fluctuations.
"Isn't … isn't this the shattering of the boundary? A Genuine Immortal already had a Mystic Domain. In a fight, it was inevitable that the cultivators of the Mortal Realm would use the Mystic Domain to attack. Back when Xiao first met a Genuine Immortal in the Color Realm Heaven, he was shackled by a Mystic Domain. At the time, Xiao had used the Sunshot Arrow to break the Mystic Domain. In future fights, Xiao would naturally easily break the Genuine Immortal's Mystic Domain if he used soul arts, but … but I can't always use taboo arts. If Xiao could comprehend the shattering of dust particles … "
Just as Xiao Huagang thought that, some light shadows appeared from the silhouette of Qingqiu Mountain and entered Xiao Hua's mind. When Xiao Hua looked at it again, he could not help being overjoyed — wasn't that the mystery of the Thunderbolt Breaking Mystic Domain?
"Heavens!" Xiao Hua finally understood why the Qingqiu Mountain's inheritance was so favored and envied by so many. This Qingqiu Mountain's inheritance was actually tailor-made for Xiao Hua and combined with Xiao Hua's understanding to produce a corresponding secret technique. Although there was no telling if the secret art was a part of Qingqiu Mountain's legacy or a new one, the Thunderbolt Force was Xiao Hua's specialty!
There was no telling how long Xiao Hua would take to comprehend it, but time was already meaningless. Outside the vortex, one black and white light shadow after another and the shattering of dust formations after another.
When he was done cultivating the Thunderbolt Breaking Mystic Technique, Xiao Hua had a thought and looked for a secret art that consumed time to study. Of all Qingqiu Mountain's secret arts, the one that consumed the most time was naturally the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets. The Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets was something Xiao Hua obtained from Qingqiu Mountain's Shengyu when he obtained the Harmonious Diagram in Tingtianxue. It was the Qingqiu Mountain's technique to control heaven and earth, involving Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, divination, and the Way of Karma. If cultivated to perfection, one could grasp the world's momentum and predict the future, and it was considered the Nine-Tailed Fox's natural godly ability!
At that time, Xiao Hua had comprehended the profound mysteries of the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets. It could complement the comprehension of the Book of Luo and the River Diagram. It had the power to balance Yin and Yang, and it could push the way of karma to the extreme. He also knew that it was precisely because of that that the Qingqiu Mountain's lineage was feared by superior beings. If they could not obtain it, they would have to destroy it and not allow it to fall into the hands of others, or they would have long since made themselves an unbeatable foe.
Knowing that, Xiao Hua passed the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets to Jiu Xia who was meditating in the Dragon Domain and never studied it again. As for Jiu Xia, she never mentioned it after waking up, probably because the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets was a secret art of Qingqiu Mountain that she did not dare to simply mention it.
Was such a great opportunity not a chance to cultivate the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets? As Xiao Hua thought about it, some light and shadows related to the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets poured out like a waterfall. Some secret arts and comprehensions related to Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams divination, Hetu's Book of Luo were displayed in Xiao Hua's mind.
Among them were some that Xiao Hua had comprehended back in Tingtianxue, as well as the Immortal Formula of Karma that he cultivated. Combining it with Hetu's Book of Luo and the Mysterious Formula of Heavenly Secrets, he was like a fish in water. In just a short while, Xiao Hua was already immersed in it.
Xiao Hua had gained so much, so how could Jiu Xia give it up so easily? In the Qingqiu Mountain's inheritance, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan's Natural Mystiques such as the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art bloomed like flowers, seemingly ready to be picked by Jiu Xia.
Jiu Xia casually picked a few Mystiques to investigate, and her face was immediately filled with ecstasy. These were all secret arts that she had heard of but never seen before. For example, the Art of Transformation, the Art of Bewitching Illusions, the Art of Immobility, and so on.
Jiu Xia cultivated a little and was inexplicably delighted. That was because the cultivation of these Mystiques came naturally to her. Not only was it extremely fast, but there were also no bottlenecks. Jiu Xia understood that this was not only because she had borrowed the power of Qingqiu Mountain's Shengyu, but also because she was attached to Xiao Hua, which was why her cultivation was so miraculous.
Even more miraculously, Jiu Xia had just finished cultivating the Art of Immobility when she sensed Xiao Hua's thoughts. Her senses were sharper than a telepathic connection, which was why Jiu Xia immediately used the Art of Immobility and even imparted all of her cultivation and comprehension to Xiao Hua!
