(I caught a cold, and making mistakes when sick is common. The chapter numbers for the first three chapters were wrong, which you may have noticed already—I'm not going to change them, but will correct them from this chapter forward. Please forgive me. Additionally, the cold has left me feeling dizzy and weak. Having written this book for nearly a year, I am quite exhausted and in poor health, so there will just be one update today. Once I'm better, I'll burst with updates. Please understand, brothers. There's still a long way to go, as the tale of the Immortal Realm has just begun to unfold. I hope everyone will subscribe and support me, and together, let's follow Wang Xiaoqiang through this vast and passionate world of Immortal Heroes.)
Let's not dwell on Wang Xiaoqiang and Yus Ziman enjoying their drinks and conversation any longer and turn our attention to the battle between the Aquatic Dark Soldiers and the disciples of Medicine God Valley. Both sides suffered casualties, but ultimately, the disciples of the Medicine God Valley were no match for the mighty Aquatic Dark Soldiers and were routed.
The Aquatic Dark Soldiers returned to the Immortal River, absorbing the Spiritual Energy spawned by the Five Elements Spirit Spring to replenish their internal energy reserves.
Now, Wang Xiaoqiang's body was down one Spiritual Spring, but the impact on his Cultivation Base was minimal, almost negligible, yet that same Spiritual Spring would benefit millions of beings in the Immortal River from the Aquatic Clan—a testament to the wonder of the Five Elements Spirit Spring.
With the addition of this Five Elements Spirit Spring, the beings of the Aquatic Clan would grow strong rapidly, and in no time, they would become a coveted force in the Immortal Realm, regaining their past glory.
...
Crystal Palace.
"Yus Ziman, you are from the Merman Tribe and now you've shed your fish form to take on a human body. I'm curious if your physique is now the same as a woman from the Human Clan?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked with a mischievous smile embraced around Yus Ziman's slender waist.
Yus Ziman's cheeks reddened as she coyly responded, "Ancestor, of course, I'm just like the women of your Human Clan."
Wang Xiaoqiang's smile grew even naughtier as he said, "Hmm, I might have to verify that for myself."
With that, he effortlessly picked Yus Ziman up in his arms.
"You're so naughty, Ancestor!" Yus Ziman chided Wang Xiaoqiang with a playful glare, her face flushing red. Like all women during their first time, she was shy, panicked, uneasy, yet filled with anticipation.
After a passionate encounter.
Wang Xiaoqiang discovered that Yus Ziman's body was just like that of a woman from the Human Clan, with no differences at all, and furthermore, she was untouched.
"I hear you've started to cultivate the Human Clan's Cultivation Techniques?" Wang Xiaoqiang said to Yus Ziman, who was curling up in his arms.
"Yes, Ancestor. Now, I've reached the Third Turn in my Cultivation Base as an Immortal," Yus Ziman replied.
"Hmm, not bad, keep up the good cultivation," Wang Xiaoqiang encouraged.
Yus Ziman nodded, "Little Mann's duty now is to serve the Ancestor. Cultivation is only secondary."
"Mm, you really are clever," Wang Xiaoqiang said with delight.
...
Wang Xiaoqiang took up residence in the Crystal Palace. With Yus Ziman serving him daily and enjoying the Aquatic beings' offerings, he truly lived like an Emperor.
Of course, even amidst such pleasures, he did not forget to cultivate.
In the "Star Chart," he had cultivated a set of "Sagittarius" techniques, and his Patterned Beast had cultivated a set of "Leo." There were still several more he hadn't cultivated yet.
Given the immense power of such Visualization-Type Techniques, Wang Xiaoqiang naturally prioritized cultivating them.
That day, he opened the "Star Chart" in his chamber, searching for a suitable cultivation technique. After careful study, he found that the "Pisces Sword" technique was impressive. This Visualization-Type Technique was derived from the "Pisces" Constellation and was known to wield incredible power and mystical capabilities when executed.
"Hmm... this 'Pisces Sword' technique is quite extraordinary. I'll start cultivating it from here," he thought to himself. Then, Wang Xiaoqiang began Visualization, imagining himself as a Constellation in the starry sky and pretending to hold two swords in his hands, performing motions based on the twinkling patterns depicted in the Star Chart.
As he engaged in this Visualization, performing various movements, two ethereal swords appeared in his hands. Though insubstantial, these swords possessed formidable power, causing the entire Crystal Palace to tremble as if an earthquake had struck, unsettling all the servants and Aquatic beings within.
In the chamber, Yus Ziman was the first to feel the effects. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang execute a set of sword moves that could stir the Crystal Palace, she couldn't help but marvel in silence.
The Pisces Sword was derived from the Pisces Constellation, and this sword technique also had a deep connection with the Twin Fish in Taiji.
Taiji Twin Fish, one Yin and one Yang, symbolize Yin-Yang Mutual Reinforcement.
The Pisces Sword Technique, however, involves the Yang Sword in the right hand taking a forceful approach, while the Yin Sword in the left hand follows a more Yin Softness approach.
The Pisces Sword Technique is about wielding the Yin and Yang swords in the left and right hands harmoniously, to achieve the effect of Yin-Yang Mutual Reinforcement.
Yin and Yang are intrinsically linked to nature.
Daytime is Yang, while nighttime is Yin, and their harmonious interaction achieves natural balance.
Men are Yang, women are Yin, and their Yin-Yang mutual reinforcement allows for the procreation of offspring.
In the human body, Qi is Yang, and blood is Yin. Qi flows with the blood, and blood carries Qi, their harmony ensuring a balanced Yin and Yang within the body for health and longevity.
In traditional herbal medicine formulations, compatibility is meticulously matched according to a hierarchical system to harmonize Yin and Yang, effectively expelling illness.
...
If Yin and Yang are well matched and mutually supportive, any task can reach a perfect outcome. Such is the case with the Pisces Sword Technique, which incorporates both Yin and Yang into its moves, balancing the Yin Sword with the Yang Sword.
Therefore, once one attains proficiency in the Pisces Sword Technique, it becomes an invincible force.
When Wang Xiaoqiang began practicing the Yin-Yang Sword Technique, he turned the Crystal Palace into an unsettled place—but not because he had mastered the Pisces Sword Technique to a certain level. It was because he had only grasped the essence of the Yang Sword and failed to comprehend the secret of the Yin Sword.
Such an occurrence is normal since Wang Xiaoqiang is a man—men are Yang, and cultivating the Yang Sword comes naturally to them, much like how men don't need instruction to engage in intercourse with women; even a fool understands how to make love to a woman.
Having a man cultivate the Yin Sword is akin to asking him to embroider or give birth—it goes against the very nature of Yin and Yang.
In fact, the Pisces Sword Technique was originally a technique practiced by a man and a woman together.
It was later modified by someone to be practiced by a single person.
For one person to practice a two-person sword technique, wielding the Yang Sword in the right hand and the Yin Sword in the left, coordinating them to achieve Yin-Yang mutual reinforcement, is incredibly difficult. Yet, mastering it would result in tremendous power.
"Ancestor, stop practicing, or the Crystal Palace will collapse!" Yus Ziman shouted in panic. Her warning was not an exaggeration; although Wang Xiaoqiang held only an illusory sword in his hand, it was a Yang Sword, wielded forcefully and fiercely, without a Yin Sword to neutralize its vigorous Yang energy. If he continued, the Crystal Palace would indeed collapse.
Wang Xiaoqiang also felt that such practice was problematic, so he stopped. As soon as he ceased his sword dance, the illusory Yang Sword in his hand disappeared, and the Crystal Palace stopped shaking.
"Ancestor, your sword technique is too powerful for the Crystal Palace to withstand. Look, should we move to the Immortal River Plaza to practice?"
Yus Ziman suggested.
Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Yus Ziman and suddenly had an idea. Ah, Yus Ziman was from the Merman Tribe, with exceptional talent—she should be able to comprehend the Pisces Sword Technique more easily, shouldn't she?
Wang Xiaoqiang's thought was not without reason. The essence of the Pisces Sword Technique lies in integrating Yin and Yang into the moves, yet the outwardly manifestations are as fluid and graceful as swimming fish, especially the moves of the Yin Sword, embodying the softness and flowing movements of fish.
Besides, Yus Ziman is a woman—women are Yin, so her grasp and application of the Yin Sword should come more intuitively.
So, Wang Xiaoqiang said to Yus Ziman, "Little Mann, take a look at this sword technique and see if you can grasp it."
What Wang Xiaoqiang showed Yus Ziman were the moves of the Yin Sword Technique from the Star Chart.
Upon seeing it, Yus Ziman immediately understood and began to perform. The technique she danced was indeed the Yin Sword Technique.
As Wang Xiaoqiang watched her sword dance, he committed each move to memory. After she completed a cycle, Wang Xiaoqiang resumed practicing the Pisces Sword Technique.
In his hands emerged two illusory swords,
One Yang, the other Yin.
The Yang Sword moves, he had already mastered; the Yin Sword moves, he executed based on Yus Ziman's dance.
The two swords quickly achieved harmony, embodying Yin-Yang mutual reinforcement.
This time, the Crystal Palace was not disturbed but remained tranquil.
However, the latent power within the Pisces Sword Technique was immensely potent. As Wang Xiaoqiang continued to dance, the two swords traced Taiji Diagrams one after another.
Inside these Taiji Diagrams surged tremendous forces, like bombs poised to explode, and their momentum was even more fearsome than that of the Blood-Colored Taiji.
While Wang Xiaoqiang was studying the Pisces Sword Technique, the Immortal River Mystic Serpent arrived with an urgent message, "Ancestor, trouble is brewing! Medicine God Valley in alliance with disciples from other sects are attacking us, numbering in the tens of thousands, exuding an overwhelming and arrogant presence. Shall we mobilize the Aquatic Dark Soldiers to meet the enemy?"
Mustering a pair of raised eyebrows, Wang Xiaoqiang declared, "Notify all Aquatic Mystic Soldiers to join me in battle!" (To be continued.
