Subsequently, an old monk stepped forward. He was Venerable Guangming of Little Sumeru Mountain, a true Celestial Human level being!

Venerable Guangming bowed to the Saint Master and said, "This old monk will bring back the Reincarnated Spiritual Child."

"Re… Reincarnated Spiritual Child?"

Illusionary Mustard Seed was taken aback, for he knew well that Venerable Guangming referred to the reincarnation of Fa Hai.

"Has the Master already found the whereabouts of the reincarnated Fa Hai?"

Illusionary Mustard Seed looked puzzled.

The Saint Master said calmly, "In Black Mountain."

"Black... Black Mountain?"

"Fa Hai is reincarnated in Black Mountain?"

Illusionary Mustard Seed's eyes widened in disbelief.

During this period, Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple deployed all their Buddhist Sect resources to search everywhere for the child born that day.

Now the Master actually said, Fa Hai was born in the territory of the Black Mountain Demon.

This was beyond anything he could have expected.

"No wonder they couldn't find him for so long..." Illusionary Mustard Seed sighed.

The Fa Hai, who once struck fear into all demons, is surprisingly reincarnated in the Demon Cave, which is truly unbelievable.

"You shall go with Venerable Guangming."

The Saint Master suddenly spoke, addressing Illusionary Mustard Seed.

Illusionary Mustard Seed was taken aback, involuntarily furrowing his brow.

"What's this, afraid to descend the mountain?" The Saint Master's eyes slightly narrowed.

Illusionary Mustard Seed shook his head, "Of course not."

"It's just that I feel given enough time, there's no need to contend for Fa Hai's reincarnation; I shall naturally surpass Fa Hai!"

His tone was resolute, his gaze proud and filled with confidence.

Upon hearing his words, many Elders nodded: "In these grand times, such invincible faith is needed."

Their eyes brimmed with appreciation.

But the Saint Master remained silent, while Venerable Guangming folded his hands towards Illusionary Mustard Seed and said:

"The Saint Heir's grand ambition is worthy of respect and admiration."

"However, on the path of cultivation, solely retreating behind closed doors lacks a certain touch."

"Why not accompany this old monk, to take it as a training experience?"

"Perhaps this will bring more insight into your cultivation journey."

His words were gentle and persuasive, making Illusionary Mustard Seed quite receptive.

"If that's the case, I shall descend the mountain and will certainly fulfill the Master's order!"

With that, he left together with Venerable Guangming, departing Little Sumeru Mountain once more.

...

...

On the other side, since leaving Lingyin Temple last time, Lin Heng returned to Wudang Mountain with Master Lian Zhou.

Master Chao Ling and Master Gui Xu went to Shushan.

In the True Martial Hall of Wudang.

It is now the main temple dedicated to the True Martial Emperor.

The left hall is dedicated to the founding patriarch Lv Zu.

The right hall honors the thriving ancestor Master Zhang.

After worshiping the True Martial Emperor and Lv Zu, Master Lian Zhou brought Lin Heng to Sanfeng Hall.

"You sit here in meditation, within a few days, an opportunity will descend. Grasp it well, and the benefits will be endless!"

After leaving these words, Master Lian Zhou went outside the hall to wait, leaving Lin Heng to sit cross-legged on the mat, waiting quietly.

He also seized the moment to circulate Innate True Qi, silently tending to his injuries.

For three consecutive days.

The statue of Master Zhang remained motionless.

Until the fifth day.

Suddenly, thunder rolled over Wudang Mountain, and then a purple thunderbolt descended dramatically.

Master Lian Zhou, waiting outside the hall, opened his eyes with a smile emerging in his gaze.

Inside the hall.

Lin Heng also suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a wisp of Purple Qi swiftly slide down along the statue of Master Zhang in front, then collide into the center of Lin Heng's brow.

At that moment, Lin Heng felt as if a valve opened in his mind.

All sorts of profound and esoteric knowledge surged in like a vast ocean.

He closed his eyes, plunging into darkness.

In the darkness, a sound of water suddenly echoed.

Upon reopening his eyes, there was no statue before him, nor any grand hall, only a vast and murky world.

The world was empty, with only clear Qi ascending and turbid Qi descending.

"What is this?"

Lin Heng frowned slightly, his form unconsciously reversed.

The next second, the clear Qi became white, the turbid Qi black.

The two seemed to have separated, yet appeared to intersect, black and white chasing each other like the sun and moon in alternation, dividing the world.

"Yin and Yang..."

"Taiji?"

Lin Heng suddenly comprehended.

Then, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for perfectly comprehending the Yin Yang Tai Chi Profound Clarity Skill!]

The sudden voice pulled Lin Heng, who was immersed in understanding, sharply into realization.

"Good heavens… almost forgot about the instant-learning Ah Xi!"

Lin Heng found himself both amused and helpless.

He rubbed his eyes, and the world faded away, restoring the image of the hall before him.

Lin Heng stood up, bowed respectfully towards the statue in front:

"Thank you, Master Zhang, for imparting your technique."

After tidying his Daoist Robe, he walked out of the hall.

Outside, Master Lian Zhou, already impatient, asked excitedly upon seeing him:

"So, what opportunity did the Master bestow upon you?"

Lin Heng smiled, "The Yin Yang Tai Chi Profound Clarity Skill."

"What?!"

Master Lian Zhou showed a shocked expression and murmured in astonishment:

"This is the profound skill the Master comprehended at the last moment of the Ascension Tribulation, esoteric and mysterious, communicating divinity, a genuine Immortal Technique!"

"I didn't expect it to be passed on to you."

"Young friend, oh young friend, you are truly enviable!"

Master Lian Zhou exclaimed endlessly.

Lin Heng, upon hearing this, laughed and said, "No need to envy, once I have grasped this Immortal Technique, I will pass it on to the seniors."

Originally, Lin Heng thought Master Lian Zhou would be thrilled, but to his surprise, the other party heard this and merely smiled wryly:

"Forget it."

"Shameful to say, at the moment of the Master's ascension, he actually imparted this Immortal Technique to me, but unfortunately, my talent is dull, unable to understand even a fraction."

"Over the years, any fragmentary understanding I had has long been forgotten."

"This old Daoist, I am indeed not destined for this Immortal Technique."

Master Lian Zhou sighed but soon smiled again, patting Lin Heng's shoulder:

"Your talent is outstanding, as long as you comprehend well, I believe it won't take many years for you to make a small achievement."

"In another decade or so, perhaps you'll have the chance for Great Success."

"Once you achieve Great Success in this Immortal Technique, you'll understand the profound and divine essence Master realized during the Ascension Tribulation!"

At this point, Master Lian Zhou seemed to see the scene of Master Zhang crossing the tribulation once more.

"When the Master achieved Great Success, Yin and Yang Qi manifested in front of him, the profound skill in motion, forming directly into a Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram."

"You should have seen, even the world-ending Celestial Thunder of the Ascension Tribulation was swallowed up by that Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram!"

"That scene, this old Daoist, will never forget."

"So, young friend, strive onward!"

Master Lian Zhou said, patting Lin Heng's shoulder.

"Uh…"

Lin Heng's expression turned slightly peculiar, and he unexpectedly asked:

"I wonder if what the senior saw that day might have been this?"

As he spoke, he circulated his profound skill, and suddenly a gust of wind arose before him.

Clear Qi ascended, and turbid Qi descended.

Black and white chased each other, forming a massive Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram in front of Master Lian Zhou.
