Chapter 687: Inverting Yin and Yang, Defying Heaven Changing Fate!

“Why don’t we break off a branch from the Epoch Immortal’s body to refine the qin?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy proposed. Naturally, she had conveyed this through an auditory message; Gan Tian was still not privy to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence.

The Epoch Immortal’s original form was colossal, resulting in much thicker branches and leaves.

“Wouldn’t that be somewhat disrespectful to the Epoch Immortal?” Yun Zhi hesitated slightly.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy wasn’t bothered in the least. “Aiya, what respect? The Epoch Immortal often used parts of his body for refining artifacts. Branches and leaves were the Epoch Immortal’s hair. Plucking a single strand for refining artifacts is nothing. He would use his own body for artifact refinement, whether he had a reason or not.”

When it came to the best artifact refinement materials, it still had to be the Epoch Immortal. As the most ancient existence between heaven and earth, what material could surpass his body?

“The Nine-Layers Immortal also considered using his body for artifact refinement. He wielded the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, after all. Yin and yang represent change. When yin and yang harmonize, the Dao gives birth to the infinite, orchestrating creation. He could use the power of his Dao Fruit to create people.

“Originally, he wanted to pull out one of his own ribs to create a person. But then he became troubled, contemplating whether the person created this way would be his younger sibling or child. In the end, he abandoned the idea.”

Lu Yang, “...”

Were you people in the ancient era all this fierce and boorish?

“Eh, now that you mention it, this immortal might have a way to improve the Meng boy’s situation.” Something seemed to have sparked in the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

“Improve what?”

“Have you heard of ‘Inverting Yin and Yang, Defying Heaven Changing Fate?”

Lu Yang had a vague impression of it. It seems to be an impressive divine ability.

“Correct. It’s a divine ability capable of defying heaven to alter one’s destiny. However, it can only be used on oneself, not on others. If the Meng boy masters this technique, he might be able to change his Single’s Spirit Root constitution and perhaps even improve his luck.”

“Immortal Fairy, you know it?”

“Of course, I do. How about this? I’ll teach it to both of you. Whether you can master it will depend on your capabilities.”

Hearing that he had the opportunity to learn such a great divine ability, Lu Yang couldn’t keep the grin off his face.

Lu Yang relayed the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s idea to Yun Zhi, who also found it feasible. The only issue was the extreme difficulty in learning this particular divine ability—it wasn’t something Nascent Soul cultivators could master.

“We can give it a try. Senior, could you describe how you perform this move? Let’s compare our methods.” Yun Zhi also knew this technique, but she hadn’t considered the possibility of applying it to Meng Jingzhou.

“Alright.”

The two briefly communicated through auditory messages. Yun Zhi confirmed that their divine abilities were the same, and only then could she rest reassured.

After Gan Tian reached the Fusion Stage, she went into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation realm. Heaven’s Gate Peak was only left with Yun Zhi, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou, who had left with the crowd but was later called back by Lu Yang.

Upon hearing this news, Meng Jingzhou was over the moon.

Heaven must have pitied me; is it finally my turn to defy fate and change my destiny?

Lu Yang said earnestly, “If you feel grateful, you can kowtow to me twice. I’ll accept it on the Immortal Fairy’s behalf.”

“Get lost.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy drifted out from Lu Yang, her expression serene and peaceful, akin to an immortal from one’s imagination.

She formed an orchid hand gesture[1] by pinching her fingers and spoke unhurriedly. “This immortal sees your extraordinary talent and that you are destined for greatness. I hereby bestow upon you a wisp of immortal affinity today. Whether you can grasp it depends on your providence.”

“I, Meng Jingzhou, thank the Immortal!”

At the summit of Heaven’s Gate Peak, Yun Zhi had temporarily postponed returning to Incarceration Peak to resume the interrogation, instead observing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s teaching process.

“Inverting yin and yang can cause heaven and earth to lose their order and the sun and moon to lose their regularity. It is akin to inverting right and wrong and mixing black and white. Even among divine abilities, it ranks as one of the top few supremely powerful techniques. If you two wish to learn it, you must prepare yourselves mentally...

“Having the mind and spirit within the heart is the key to mastering this move. To overcome fate, one must first believe in fate...

“When you learn the rudiments of inverting yin and yang, you can only transform a part, perfect for transforming your Pure Yang Spirit Root into a Yin-Yang Spirit Root...

“Beware of using excessive force when executing this move; otherwise, you might transform your Pure Yang Spirit Root into a Pure Yin Spirit Root...”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were extremely well-behaved, sitting obediently on the ground listening, striving to memorize every word the Everlasting Immortal Fairy said.

“In fact, if you wish to learn how to invert yin and yang, the best reference is right before your eyes.”

“What is it?” the two asked simultaneously.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy pointed overhead. “It’s the sun.

“Daytime is yang, nighttime is yin. Whether it’s the alternation of the sun and moon in our era or the changes of the sun and moon now, they are the best examples of inverting yin and yang. It’s a pity few in the world can comprehend this.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy sighed, as if lamenting the ignorance of the world.

Meng Jingzhou seized the chance to butter her up. “That’s why you’re an immortal, Senior—you can comprehend what ordinary people cannot.”

“Oh, this immortal didn’t comprehend it either. The Nine-Layers Immortal was the one who told us this principle.”

Meng Jingzhou, “...”

It took a full day for the Everlasting Immortal Fairy to properly explain the principles of this divine ability.

“I’ve explained all the principles. As for whether you can comprehend them, that depends on your providence. I suggest you observe intently during the transition between the sun and the moon. It will aid you in learning this divine ability.”

“Understood,” the two chorused in unison.

For the next few days, the two did nothing else but focus solely on studying and comprehending according to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s method.

Inverting Yin and Yang, Defying Heaven Changing Fate lived up to its reputation as a top-ranked divine ability. Even with Lu Yang’s talent, he couldn’t master it immediately.

On the dawn of the fifth day, during the transition between the sun and the moon, the two brothers gazed up at the sky. The argent room, representing Lunar Yin power, shed its original color, donning a veil of crimson. The hue of red deepened and completely dyed the moon red, transforming it into the brilliant great sun representing Solar Yang power.

In that moment, Lu Yang felt an epiphany, as if a pane of paper in his heart had been pierced. He gradually closed his eyes, continuously envisioning the magnificent sight of the sun and moon alternating at dawn and dusk.

A confident smile spread across his face.

I have mastered it.

He felt that his fate profile had changed.

Meng Jingzhou scratched his head in frustration. My talent for spells can be considered first-rate, but learning such an overpowered divine ability is still too hard.

He turned and asked his good brother. “Lu Yin, have you mastered it?”

Lu Yang’s confident smile froze on his face. “...Wait, what did you call me?”

“Lu Yin.[2] Is there a problem?”

Lu Yang quickly turned to ask the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Yun Zhi. “What’s my situation?”

Unlike Meng Jingzhou, both the Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Yun Zhi had detected the change in Lu Yang. A mysterious power had shrouded him, altering his name to “Lu Yin,” as if he had been born with that name. Even the name on his identity jade tablet now read “Lu Yin.”

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy scratched her head. “Inverting Yin and Yang, Defying Heaven Changing...Name?

“That counts as mastering it...right?”

1. The lanhuazhi is a hand gesture that is typically used in traditional dances. The most common version is where the thumb and middle finger are pinched together, while the rest of the fingers are extended. You can see them in Chinese dances or xiqu (Chinese opera) performances. If you’re curious about other hand gestures, you may refer to this image. ☜

2. The “yang” in Lu Yang’s name is the same as the “yang” in yin and yang and the “yang” in sun. The characters also look somewhat similar. “Yang” is 阳, and “yin” is 阴. ☜
