Chapter 1067: Ranks of Yin Yang Qi

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.

“As expected, Yin Yang Qi is one of the most mysterious powers. When I had been in the Junior Master’s Pagoda and time sped up by a hundred times, hundreds of years would pass in one go when I went into seclusion. And yet, my understanding of Yin Yang Understanding is still insufficient.” Mo Wen sighed.

The second stage of Yin Yang Qi could definitely not be cultivated in time. Mo Wen thought about it carefully. There were ways to raise his abilities within a short period, like cultivating the Divine Soul Trillion Layers to the realm of the second layer. He had long cultivated the first layer to the pinnacle, so breaking through to the second layer was not an issue if he had enough time.

If he could cultivate the Divine Soul Trillion Layers to break through to the second layer, Mo Wen’s deified soul would be more than enough to rival that of a Supreme Profundity Later Stage cultivator. At that time, the Divine Sword of the Primordial Soul would also become a terrifying weapon beyond compare.

But now, he feared that he might not have that time to cultivate.

Mo Wen was conflicted. It was unlikely the Muhong City Mayor would allow Yingyun City too much time to catch their breath. Even if he allowed Mo Wen enough time, the latter would not want to risk overstaying his welcome. That being the case, cultivating the Divine Soul Trillion Layers to break through to the second layer did not seem like it would work.

In terms of remarkable power, he had two paths he could take. There were the Seven Glorious Infernos that had been handed down to him by the Star Emperor, of which he could finally start cultivating the fourth Glory of Star.

Truth be told, the real strength of the Seven Glorious Infernos was only starting to manifest when he reached the Fourth Glory: Glory of Star. The first three Glories were only the foundation of the Seven Glorious Infernos. Whether it was the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind, or the Glory of Cloud, those were but one portion of the Glory of Star.

The Seven Glorious Infernos had quite a strange cultivation method. Fusing the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind, and the Glory of Cloud allowed you to cultivate the Glory of Star. While the three Glory techniques were the foundation for cultivating the Glory of Star, they also formed a part of it. But when you got to the Fifth Glory: Glory of Moon, the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind, the Glory of Cloud, and the Glory of Star, they were all one part of the Glory of Moon.

As for the final Seventh Glory: Glory of Divinity, it fused the Glory of Thunder, the Glory of Wind, the Glory of Cloud, the Glory of Star, the Glory of Moon, and the Glory of Sun; all being a part of the Glory of Divinity.

As such, the further up you went, the higher the grade of the Seven Glorious Infernos. Take, for example, the Glory of Star – it was a small-path seventh rank remarkable power.

A small-path seventh rank was something difficult to obtain, even for a cultivator with a great attainment of the Supreme Profundity Realm. It was the highest rank of the remarkable powers obtainable by a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. A higher level than that would be the legendary medium-path remarkable power, and even Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators would find it challenging to obtain a medium-path remarkable power.

However, in truth, it would be difficult for Mo Wen to cultivate the Glory of Star. He had tried doing so in the Junior Master’s Pagoda, but he had not succeeded. Although his understanding of it had grown, successfully cultivating it was evidently not something he could achieve within a short period.

Just as Mo Wen was quietly cultivating, the atmosphere in Yingyun City was growing increasingly tense. The Muhong City cultivators gathering outside the city had increased in numbers, and it was clear that the next attack on the city was not far from now.

The higher-ups of Yingyun City had concerned looks of anguish on their faces. They had raised their defenses to the highest level.

From outside the city, in Muhong City’s temporary command hall, the mayor looked into the distance, at Yingyun City, with his hands behind his back. He said firmly, “Attack.”

The day Mo Wen had stormed into Yingyun City, the Muhong City Mayor had set out to do a background check on him and look into any other relevant information, but he had come up empty.

“Lord Mayor, we’ve bought off some of the Sorcerer God Temple’s internal members, but we still could not find out anything about the origins of the mysterious young man. According to my subordinate’s guess, that mysterious young man is either someone insignificant or someone extremely significant. This is not something we can uncover at all,” a Muhong City cultivator walked over to stand right in front of the mayor as they spoke respectfully with their head bowed.
