Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1985 (Raw 2083): Light of the Sun and the Moon

The Second Palace Master, Jue Yang, said seriously, “Before we came, we already discussed it. The First Palace Master will give you pointers on Martial Techniques. In reality, aside from knowing Firmament’s Rage, First Brother also participated in the creation of the Supreme Dragon Fist that you practice.”

What?!

This startled Xiao Chen. This First Palace Master truly hid himself deeply. The First Palace Master actually managed to perfect Firmament’s Rage, which no one else in the Dragon Race had managed to practice in the past few thousand years.

Even more unexpected was that the First Palace Master was a cocreator of the Supreme Dragon Fist. That was truly surprising.

Second Palace Master Jue Yang continued, “I am the most skilled at the Soul Dao. I can give you pointers in this aspect. Third Brother’s cultivation is somewhat weaker than ours, but his skill in alchemy is excellent. It would best for him to help you temper your physical body.”

These would be pointers targeted at strengthening Xiao Chen’s various aspects: Martial Techniques, Soul Energy, and physical body.

Anticipation filled Xiao Chen.

“However, don’t expect too much. The three of us cannot possibly spend much time giving you pointers. At best, we can spare only one day. The rest will depend on your own comprehension. Second Brother is the busiest, so he will start first. The rest of us will leave for now.”

When Xiao Chen heard that, he still felt delighted. In reality, he did not expect much, either. The three Palace Masters were not his masters. For them to make a special effort to give him pointers for a day was already a lot.

Many times, one did not require pointers to be given for a long time.

Sometimes, just a sentence could allow one to enjoy lifelong benefits. All one had to do was to work hard.

“Many thanks, Palace Masters,” Xiao Chen said as he bowed.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The First Palace Master and the Third Palace Master disappeared at the same time, leaving only Xiao Chen and the Second Palace Master, Jue Yang, in Cold Moon Cave.

Second Palace Master Jue Yang instructed softly, “Xiao Chen, show me your Holy Venerate Will. You should be able to materialize your Holy Venerate Will already, right? I feel that your Soul Energy is very strong, at the level of a late-stage Holy Venerate.”

“Yes.”

With a thought, the azure-colored dragon seal in Xiao Chen’s Soul Pool flickered with light. Then, a blazing sun and a bright moon rose into the air behind him, competing with each other in brightness.

In mere moments, Xiao Chen’s Holy Venerate Will encased the surrounding five hundred meters.

“Sun and Moon Shining Together!”

This sight shocked the Second Palace Master, Jue Yang. To think that a mysterious phenomenon appeared; this was indeed a pleasant surprise.

There might not even be a single person among ten thousand whose will of soul could produce a mysterious phenomenon. Perhaps there might only be one in ten million.

A will of soul that could produce a mysterious phenomenon was mostly inherited from one’s ancestors, passed down through the bloodline.

Hence, such wills of souls were rather common among the Noble Clan outstanding talents in the dynasties. However, they were rather rare in the eight great empires.

Outstanding talents who could produce a mysterious phenomenon with their will of soul were extremely scarce in the vast northern region.

Jue Yang nodded with a smile. “Pretty good. This makes it easier for me to give you pointers. I’ll teach you the trick to using the mysterious phenomenon.”

“Second Palace Master, please explain more.”

“The so-called trick is actually its usage in practical combat. There are just two aspects to it: offense and defense.”

Second Palace Master said softly, “You cannot do both at the same time; there needs to be a primary and secondary. First, tell me, how do you want to use your mysterious phenomenon: offense or defense?”

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Actually, he already had many offensive techniques.

As for the Soul Dao, Xiao Chen mostly wanted to avoid falling into passivity when meeting with a Soul Dao expert.

Xiao Chen, who already had a clear direction, quickly made his choice. He said decisively, “Defense.”

“Good. Since you want defense, then I will teach you how to merge this Sun and Moon Shining Together mysterious phenomenon with your physical body.”

The Second Palace Master Jue Yang’s face turned serious as he stepped forward. Then, he suddenly tapped Xiao Chen’s forehead.

“Boom!”

The light of the sun and the moon above continuously grew brighter. The blazing sun above looked like it was real, shining with a fiery light. The moonlight was like water, gentle and peaceful, sending down a soft glow.

Working together, the two reached a delicate balance. Now, one could not feel the heat of the blazing sun or the gentleness of the bright moon.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Xiao Chen felt immersed in this wondrous feeling, the sun and the moon entered his body at the same time, and his body released a bright light.

Xiao Chen’s might and pressure soared significantly. The light of the sun and the moon flickered rhythmically as the wondrous mysterious phenomenon affected the surroundings.

It changed between night and day, astounding Xiao Chen.

He found it genuinely inconceivable that the Sun and Moon Shining Together mysterious phenomenon could be used this way.

“Now, you control it for yourself.”

The Second Palace Master retracted his hand and moved back quickly. Then, he reappeared on top of the courtyard wall far away before looking at Xiao Chen with a smile.

“Boom!”

At that instant, Xiao Chen felt like there were two different wills of soul in his body devolving into chaos.

The wills of soul rampaged. Xiao Chen’s body seesawed between hot and cold. His surroundings switched between night and day at random.

Xiao Chen lost all control, feeling like he could not handle this.

“Think about this. This is the will of soul and not Veritable Essence Energy. Don’t use your old methods to try and control it.” The Second Palace Master’s voice rang out by Xiao Chen’s ear, calming him somewhat.

That was right. This was the will of soul and not Veritable Essence Energy.

Xiao Chen calmed down. Usually, when he controlled his will of soul, he did so as a whole.

Its sudden splitting into two had flustered him.

When Xiao Chen controlled the blazing sun, the bright moon turned chaotic. When he stabilized the bright moon, the blazing sun went berserk.

Sweat beaded off his forehead.

“Boom!”

In the next moment, the light of the sun and the moon burst out of Xiao Chen’s body. His soul suffered from the rebound, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The Second Palace Master appeared beside Xiao Chen. He did not say a thing as he placed his finger on Xiao Chen’s forehead once again.

Jue Yang’s powerful Soul Energy immediately healed the injuries that Xiao Chen sustained.

Xiao Chen let out a long breath. Then, he asked about his earlier doubts.

The Second Palace Master smiled but did not explain. Instead, he got Xiao Chen to stretch out an arm and a leg at the same time and made him perform all sorts of nimble actions with both at the same time.

Xiao Chen suddenly understood. “Second Palace Master, this Sun and Moon Shining Together is actually like my arms and legs. They look separate, but in reality, they are a whole. I only have one will of soul.”

“Of course. If you had two different wills of soul, it would be heaven-defying. You could live if your soul got destroyed. It would be like having an extra life. Do you think that is possible?”

The Second Palace Master smiled in gratification. Although this was the first time he taught Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was not stupid.

“I’ll let you feel it once more. Feel it carefully. You were too distracted previously.”

The Second Palace Master placed his finger on Xiao Chen’s forehead again. Soon, the earlier scene reappeared. The sun and the moon entered his body, and the surroundings switched between night and day, flashing rhythmically. Suddenly, the rhythm turned chaotic. The back-and-forth between night and day turned irregular.

However, in reality, it was still within the Second Palace Master’s control; he had intentionally done it.

The Second Palace Master drew his hand back, and the light of the sun and the moon promptly scattered. Then, he said softly, “In reality, I was just driving your Soul Energy. I did not even use a trace of my Soul Energy. Come, feel it once more.”

This time, Xiao Chen properly felt it, and it was as the Second Palace Master said.

Be it the strengthening of the light from the sun and the moon or them merging into his physical body, it was all controlled by Xiao Chen’s Soul Energy. Achieving such an effect did not require strong Soul Energy.

Controlling it took very little Soul Energy. The most important thing was how to do it.

“I understand.”

This time, Xiao Chen took the initiative to stop the effect, forcing out the Second Palace Master’s will.

This slightly startled the Second Palace Master. Then, his figure flashed as he moved back to observe Xiao Chen.

Sun and Moon Shining Together!

With a thought, the blazing sun and the bright moon soared into the sky at the same time, hanging high in the air.

As Xiao Chen’s Soul Energy drained, the light of the sun and the moon continuously brightened. However, everything proceeded in an orderly and balanced manner; neither side was stronger.

“This…”

The Second Palace Master was somewhat surprised. To think that Xiao Chen grasped this so quickly. The balance was truly shocking.

Yin and Yang in equilibrium, the light of the sun and the moon, heed my call! Xiao Chen shouted in his heart, and the light of the sun and the moon entered his body simultaneously.

The two were indeed parts of a whole. Xiao Chen imagined them as the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, using the sun and the moon to restrain each other.

After the initial unfamiliarity, he managed to control the effect freely.

The sky turned dark as the moon shone brightly. Then, the sun rose and the moon set. Xiao Chen could control everything freely with a movement of his hand. He soared up and down in the air as he smiled.

Xiao Chen looked into the distance as he did this. After some time, he no longer needed to focus on controlling it. While he maintained the light of the sun and the moon, he could perform various actions, including circulating his Veritable Essence Energy.

This flabbergasted the Second Palace Master, Jue Yang, as he watched. This was equivalent to practical combat application.

This capability truly inspired a whole new level of respect, as well as praise.

“Whoosh!”

While flickering with the alternating light of the sun and the moon, Xiao Chen landed beside the Second Palace Master and smiled. “Second Palace Master, please teach me how to use my Holy Venerate Will for offense.”

The Second Palace Master shook his head and said, “There’s no need. The method is applicable in every way. All you need to do now is choose a Soul Energy Cultivation Technique to cultivate. I have nothing else to teach you.”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly as he scattered the light of the sun and the moon, then withdrew his will of soul into his Soul Pool. Startled, he said, “It’s over?”

Jue Yang complained in his heart. How else could it be? This is something that usually takes at least a few months to comprehend, yet you learned it in three attempts.
