Her mother had also passed away early, filling her with an extreme hatred for men since a young age, especially those who abandoned their wives and children, like Dongfang Mu, who left the Shadow Hong Saber and Sky-cutting Sword behind.

On the eve of a great battle, the two pledged their lives to each other, vowing to roam the Jianghu together, to see the snows of the Northern Border, the ancient mountains of the Southern Frontier, the divine peaks of Western Shu, to cross the seas to the East, and so on.

In any case, it was for this reason that she later joined the Shura Demon Palace, displaying exceptional Martial Arts Talent from her youth. In the entire game, Mu Hongyuan's Martial Arts Talent ranked among the top five, and she often said that if she were a man, her talent would be even higher. This was because certain Martial Arts were indeed stronger when cultivated by men.

For example, Wang Mu later passed the Innate Yin Yang Skill on to Mu Hongyuan after they drank together at the Demon Palace. However, upon learning that this Divine Skill was created by the Yin Yang Taoist, she stubbornly refused to learn it. In fact, this Divine Skill, combined with the Four Seasons Yin Yang Palm, could have allowed her to sweep through all the top experts in the Jianghu at the time. Its power was only slightly inferior to the Level 100 Beautiful Fist and the Love Saint Route's Love Nine Swords, and only by a very small margin.

In the image, an unknown number of years had passed. Mu Hongyuan, enveloped in alternating light and shadow, showed gradual changes in her expression. Her hazy face at times revealed a natural charm amidst sweetness, at others a touch of shyness within enchantment, and sometimes surging anger amidst resentment.

This looks like the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map and the Harmonization Map...

So it was at this time she created this Divine Skill... and through this Cultivation Technique, no less... Could it be she has resolved her past grievances?

This Divine Skill, particularly the Four Seasons Yin Yang Palm, could be said to be the origin of his fated connection with Mu Hongyuan. To win over Mu Hongyuan, mastering this Hand Technique was essential, and one had to achieve a very high Realm. Basically, every main female character had a corresponding Divine Skill: the Heavenly Poison Scripture learned from Nanrong Biyou, Yan Qingwu's Love Nine Swords, Mo Xilan's Seven Emotions Divine Skill, and Mu Hongyuan's Four Seasons Yin Yang Palm and Innate Yin Yang Skill.

The following scenes showed Mu Hongyuan continuously perfecting the Great Yin Yang Map, her Cultivation soaring rapidly, all while she suppressed the Shadow Hong Saber. Only her expression, perhaps due to the strain of suppressing the Shadow Hong Saber, would sometimes reveal pain, as if she were being tormented.

Wang Mu sighed softly. Who has had it easy over these years...

This blade has too much Evil Qi, Wang Mu thought. You must understand, this saber had even consumed the blood of the Great Demon Piaomiao Xu. Who knew how much villain's blood it had drunk? The Evil Qi had only grown stronger. After the world's anomaly, it absorbed Spiritual Energy and was blessed by Qi Fortune. If not suppressed, the blade's spirit, having become sentient, would likely turn demonic. Without its master, Dongfang Mu, it would surely bring calamity to the Nine Provinces and unleash another earth-shattering slaughter.

Mu Hongyuan was obviously aware of this. That was why she remained here, continuously suppressing this Demon Blade while simultaneously comprehending and modifying her Cultivation Technique to ameliorate this Evil Qi.

The Evil Beasts within the Illusion Realm must originate from here...

The Refining Emotion Cave, too, must originate from here...

Wang Mu furrowed his brow slightly, as if he had come to understand a fraction of Mu Hongyuan's difficulties. By cultivating the Great Yin Yang Record, she aimed to suppress and ameliorate the Evil Qi originating from the Shadow Hong Saber. The process, however, would undoubtedly require her to endure a great deal of torment caused by this Evil Qi.

The Great Yin Yang Record must be the complete manual, Wang Mu realized, witnessing the process.

The Great Yin Yang Joyful Map from the Upper Strategy was a Cultivation Technique that all disciples of the Fengyue Sect must master. The more exquisite Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram was a secret transmission. Only a few disciples with high Talent and a Taoist couple could cultivate it. Furthermore, to avoid being ensnared by emotions, they first had to endure the refined Evil Qi from the Illusion Realm entering their bodies. This Qi would then be transformed into Emotion Poison, and only after undergoing Heart Refining with Love could they begin cultivation.

Heart Refining with Love, in essence, involved contemplation and tempering one's heart, preventing the desires induced by Yin and Yang Qi from extinguishing one's willpower. This allowed oneself and one's Taoist couple to cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram more smoothly, preventing them from being immersed in base desires.

The most correct method to cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram was still to dual cultivate with a beloved one. If not with a beloved, cultivating the Harmonization Map could not achieve the effect of yin-yang coexistence.

Therefore, disciples of the Fengyue Sect were all encouraged to find partners. The fact that four of the five Elders had Taoist couples demonstrated that the Fengyue Sect did not shun relationships between men and women; on the contrary, they were quite pleased when disciples found their beloved partners.

Likewise, for disciples who had cultivated the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map, their Yin and Yang Qi would become self-contained once they reached Fulfilled cultivation with the Joyful Painting. Then, female disciples would essentially possess a jade body of Innate Pure Yin.

When dual cultivating with such women, the Yin and Yang Qi from the female disciple's body would create a synergistic and harmonious effect within both individuals. This would greatly enhance both partners' cultivation, restore Primordial Qi, and even enable them to break through realm bottlenecks. Moreover, over time, the feelings between the two would deepen.

This was also why many Jiuzhou cultivators sought a female disciple from the Fengyue Sect as a companion. And it was the very reason why female disciples of the Fengyue Sect could marry out and form good connections widely.

The Divine Skill Mu Hongyuan created, in its ultimate essence, was intended to ensure all lovers in the world would never be separated—unlike her own fate, where first her father abandoned her mother, and then she herself was abandoned by her lover for a thousand years. Of course, I wouldn't abandon someone like that, Wang Mu thought.

Witnessing Mu Hongyuan's various experiences, Wang Mu understood her cultivation philosophy.
