465: Absorbing cathode source

No matter the living being, the essence of their existence is a balance point between yin and yang.

Whether there is an excess of yang extreme elements or yin extreme elements, it is extremely easy to fall into qi deviation.

Even if that does not happen, one will be influenced by the respective elements, undergoing significant changes.

For example, the yin extreme origin source; although this item can forcibly elevate one's comprehension of the Rhyme of Law, it will also erode the Cultivator's mind, leading the whole person in a dark direction.

Since Chen De obtained the yin extreme origin source, naturally he does not need to worry about this problem.

His morality has long reached the level of being indestructible and primordial; how could it be influenced by a mere yin extreme origin source?

No sooner said than done. Since there is nothing to do right now anyway, he might as well return directly to Yuan Chen's residence and absorb it.

As for the threat Grand Elder Third made before leaving, no one could possibly be bluffed by such a thing, not even a coward in the Immortal Law Realm.

...

Chen De returned to Yuan Chen's residence within the Zhengyuan Sect headquarters — the Xuanchen Hall!

Located at the highest point of the Zhengyuan Continent, this is where the spiritual energy of the entire continent is most concentrated.

Layers of array restrictions surround it, which are methods of the Immortal Law Realm. The efficiency of gathering spiritual energy is beyond imagination, making the spiritual energy concentration far exceed that of the Earth Immortal Realm in the Lower Plane.

At the same time, with Yuan Chen, who is in the Immortal Law Realm, and various Grand Arrays here, this is also one of the safest places in the sect.

After returning, Chen De left the external Grand Array completely untouched, making it look as if it hadn't been opened.

But this was only a facade; the inner Grand Arrays were all running without exception.

This was an arrangement left by Yuan Chen in the past; even someone in the Immortal Law Realm could not discover the mystery within without personally probing it.

This point certainly made things convenient for Chen De, because if he had activated various Grand Arrays to go into seclusion the moment he returned...

Never mind Grand Elder Third, anyone would know that something was going on inside.

At the same time, he had deployed a bunch of eyes and ears outside, all of whom Chen De had casually Influenced when he returned.

Even on Grand Elder Third's side, there were two spies Chen De had Influenced.

Coupled with the system map, any powerhouse approaching within a certain range could be detected by him.

After completing all the preparations and ensuring there was no room for error...

Chen De finally came to a quiet room in the Xuanchen Hall and sat cross-legged on the futon in the center.

These righteous people were quite pretentious; after sitting down, five large characters were written on the wall of the quiet room directly facing the futon — "You have to strive to win!"

Chen De had thought it would be something like "Heaven rewards diligence," "Great virtue carries things," or "The highest good is like water"...

This was just a minor interlude to liven up the atmosphere; it was time for serious business to begin.

Chen De took out the yin extreme origin source that had been sealed in layers and let it float in front of him; it was only the size of an atom.

A pitch-black light flowed over it, and even the surrounding light was silently distorted and swallowed up.

The power of the origin source contained within, which was extremely yin and extremely dark, made even Chen De unable to help but exclaim in admiration.

Now, he was going to use this yin extreme origin source.

Everything in the world is formed by the intersection and transformation of yin and yang energy.

Even the so-called World Source is essentially several grades lower than the yin and yang origin sources.

Therefore, whether it is the yin extreme origin source or the yang extreme origin source, both can elevate the level of comprehension of any law.

Moreover, there is no difference in the level of improvement; the only difference lies in the impact on the absorber themselves.

"Yin-yang balance..."

Chen De certainly knew that absorbing it with yin-yang balance was better, but he understood the principle of "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" even better.

On the way back, he had already started researching how to use this yin extreme origin source.

Yuan Chen had never obtained one before; this was his first time seeing one, so he did not know how the yin-yang origin source should be used.

At the time, Chen De didn't know either, and even that Night Lord who had once seized the yin extreme origin source didn't know how to use it either.

They only knew the effects, not the method.

Otherwise, why hadn't the Night Lord used it long ago after having the origin source for so long?

Once the origin source was gone, naturally no one would hunt him down, and his own strength would become even greater.

But after researching it the whole way, Chen De himself had already achieved some results; it wasn't difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that the Night Lord was constantly being hunted down and exhausted, if he had been given some time, he would have been able to figure it out as well.

Chen De's aptitude was only average; he did not have the stunning talent of others, nor did he have their cleverness and wisdom. All he could do was be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

"The yin-yang origin source is the embodiment of laws, which is to say, it is a fragment of the 'Dao'."

Forcibly swallowing it is the least advisable method. Not only is it of no benefit, but one may also suffer its backlash, gaining a loss instead of a gain.

The best method is still to use the path of balance, but that does not mean finding another yang extreme origin source to possess both yin and yang origin sources simultaneously.

Rather... it is to find a way to resonate with it, thereby achieving a state of pseudo-balance to absorb the yin extreme origin source."

Chen De closed his eyes and simulated the feasibility of the method tens of millions of times in his consciousness.

After confirming the possibility of the method and continuing to perfect and revise it, he decided to start absorbing the yin extreme origin source.

He held his breath and focused, slowly closing his palms to enclose the atom-sized yin extreme origin source between his hands.

A burst of pure yang energy permeated toward the yin extreme origin source. The yin extreme origin source, influenced by the attraction of the yang-type energy, wanted to actively move closer.

But it was restricted by Chen De, keeping it fixed within a certain range, unable to move.

Consequently, the yin extreme origin source also actively emitted some strange energy, intertwining and mixing with the pure yang energy.

Sizz! Sizz! Sizz!

As soon as the two mixed together, they immediately made a sizzling sound.

A brand-new type of energy was produced, which seeped through Chen De's palms and entered his body.

In just an instant, his comprehension of various laws began to improve rapidly.

However, Chen De had attained the Rhyme of Law level in too many things, and on average, the speed of improvement was practically as slow as a tortoise crawling.

This definitely wouldn't work, otherwise, after the whole process, he might not even be able to improve all his Rhymes of Law to a two percent level.

Next, Chen De tried related methods to see if he could concentrate this energy onto a single law.

Regardless of any system or cultivation method, qualitative change is always more important than quantitative change.

Subsequently, he tried it and was pleasantly surprised to find that his idea was indeed feasible; this yin extreme energy could be guided.

Therefore, Chen De did not hesitate to gather and guide this energy, directing it toward the projection of a Rhyme of Law in his spiritual space.

The projection of the Rhyme of Law does not represent the Rhyme of Law itself, but it possesses some of the related properties of the Rhyme of Law.

When the energy of the yin extreme origin source comes into contact with it, it will actively undergo adaptive transformation toward the environment it is in.

The origin source is like firewood; the closer it is to the primitive origin source, the stronger its plasticity.

If placed in a hot environment, it will gradually turn into a ball of raging fire; if placed in a cold environment, it will gradually turn into a block of solid ice...
