Extreme Yin Zone
Flexing his neck in every direction to get used to his body, Elder Meng said, “Relax. The exit will return on the first day of every new month, which should be twenty-three days from now judging from the yin qi density.”
Mu Yu did prepare a teleportation formation outside so that he could escape using a jade piece if needed be prior to entering. That being said, the yin qi in the area as different to the formations outside, consequently disconnecting his jade piece from the formation outside.
“You really think we can escape if we just wait it out? You think they won’t find out Granny Meng is out of commission, or you planning to stay here forever?”
“You have a point… If their patriarch comes here, there’s no escape for us. Which sect are you from?”
Mu Yu, sitting airborne to let his black and white spiritual energy repair the damage to him, replied, “Is that important right now?”
“I know from experience that self-proclaimed orthodox sect members, like you, consider us unorthodox. You’ll stick one in my back as soon as you’re out.”
“I couldn’t care less about those orthodox sects you speak of. My principle is to honour my word.”
“Really?”
Mu Yu ran a cycle of Dustfallen Mental Cultivation before responding, “Can we focus on finding a way out instead of spouting drivel?”
Elder Meng, sitting in a void formation, drew vitality to his skull to replenish what he expended. “I can sense death qi hidden inside you. I reckon you’ll have to shroud me in it to give the false impression that I’m your twin if you want to escape.”
“I will help you.”
Elder Meng let out a big breath. “There are two ways out. The first way is the one I’ve already told you. The second method is rather troublesome since nobody is able to pull it off. Unless they smother themselves in blood of the dead as the old wench did, nobody will senselessly enter this place once the staircase returns. Not everyone in Ghost Gate can do what she did, so we do have a chance.”
“Let’s hear the second method.
“Since this place’s yin qi tends to the extreme, yang qi is the counter. The problem is that my vitality fire is only enough for me to protect myself no matter how potent it may be. Therefore, I can’t offset the balance in here. I doubt you have yang qi potent enough to offset the balance, either.”
So potent yang qi? I have my black and white spiritual energy. Why does my Primordial Yin Yang get along? Mu Yu pondering, summoning Xiaobai and Xiaohei from his hand. He continued deliberating, I know one Xiaohei or Xiaobai will go bonkers if they exceed the distance that they can be away from each other, but I wonder if I can balance my black and white spiritual energy once I split them up…
Mu Yu summoned green spiritual energy to his fingertip, indicating that his black and white spiritual energy’s balance was perfect enough to be identical to normal spiritual energy. “Though risky, I guess I just have to give it a try.”
Mu Yu pressed his hands together, then pulled them out, creating a green vortex between them. Soon, the black and white spiritual energy begun to mimic the revolutions with perfect balance.
“What are you doing?”
Mu Yu did not answer as he needed to focus on the task at hand. “Here goes nothing,” he said to himself, splitting the white spiritual energy into his left palm and black spiritual energy into his right palm.
“What did you do to your spiritual energy?” Elder Meng teetered back.
“Balance! Balance! Balance!” Mu Yu’s heart thumped harder and harder.
Mu Yu descended toward a Primordial Infant Realm skeleton since Elder Meng kept all of them still until he issued another command. Mu Yu placed both hands on a skeleton, sucking in the side with black spiritual energy, while the white spiritual energy drew out the other side’s latent potential and turned it back into white spiritual energy.
“You should save your energy. The formation’s yin qi protects all of the skeletons from permanent destruction no matter what you do.”
“Give me a moment. Let me concentrate if you don’t want to die yet!” Mu Yu gingerly continued separating the black and white spiritual energy, ignoring his sweat in order to avoid any errors.
Watching the black and white spiritual energy absorb the bones, Elder Meng could not hold in his thoughts. “How did you…?”
