Within the True Martial Sword Repository.
The furious reprimands of Lord Cangqing reverberated continuously.
The other four junior Daoists turned pale, displaying a fearful expression.
Even though Lord Cangqing had been strict with them over the long period, he had never been angry, let alone reprimanded them. Even when they hadn't made progress on the paths of Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji, Lord Cangqing would only offer a few words of encouragement.
"Zhang Shanfeng, you were chosen by the True Martial Sword, enjoying unique advantages."
"I don't even have the certainty to guide you. That's why I asked you to read the insights left by the previous generations of Celestial Masters on the stone walls."
Lord Cangqing's voice was low, "In those insights, did any of them mention simultaneously cultivating Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji?"
"Indeed, none of them did," Lin Yuan nodded.
All the insights left by the Celestial Masters within the repository focused on either Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji.
The simultaneous mention of both paths was indeed absent.
Because the Celestial Masters of Tian Shi Sect had also chosen to walk either the Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji path.
"If that's the case, why did you act on your own?"
"The path of cultivation should be taken cautiously. The routes carved by the predecessors with their lives, do you think it's acceptable to change them at will?"
Lord Cangqing looked disappointedly at Lin Yuan, "Shanfeng, being chosen by the True Martial Sword, all you need to do is follow the prescribed path. Whether you choose Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji, in a short period of fifty years or a long one of eighty years, you are guaranteed to become a Celestial Master."
"You are the hope of our Tian Shi Sect, the hope of the world. We all have high expectations for you, but what have you done?"
Lord Cangqing's heart was filled with various emotionsanger, disbelief, and sorrow.
Clearping, the junior Daoist, trembled beside them.
They also realized that Lin Yuan might have deviated from the correct path in cultivation, or else Lord Cangqing wouldn't be so angry.
Lin Yuan was the seed of the Celestial Master.
If he went astray, it would be even more painful for Lord Cangqing than falling into demonic cultivation himself.
"Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji, two completely opposing paths. By cultivating both simultaneously, your foundation has already been affected. Even if you realize something is wrong in the future, do you think you can go back and start over?"
Regret surged within Lord Cangqing.
He should have told Lin Yuan this common knowledge at the beginning of his cultivation.
Actually, this was not negligence.
For the vast majority of people, cultivating Taiyin Wuji or Taiyang Wuji was already extremely difficult.
Wanting to comprehend the path of Taiyang Wuji, which was completely opposite to Taiyin Wuji, on the premise of already entering Taiyin Wuji, would undoubtedly increase the difficulty tenfold or even a hundredfold.
So, Lord Cangqing had never thought that Lin Yuan would simultaneously cultivate Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.
Moreover, the insights of the previous Celestial Masters on the stone walls also didn't mention the simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang.
Lord Cangqing truly couldn't understand how Lin Yuan managed to merge Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji.
"I know," Lin Yuan frowned slightly, "but I feel that cultivating both Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji is the most correct path."
Unrivaled Insight wouldn't deceive him.
Since Lin Yuan could perceive both Taiyang Wuji and Taiyin Wuji through Unrivaled Insight, the path ahead must not be a dead end.
"Oh, you feel that way?" Lord Cangqing chuckled.
Even ordinary people know to learn from history.
The Tian Shi Sect has a history of six thousand eight hundred years, with thirty-six invincible Celestial Masters who have chosen paths for disciples in later generations.
However, Lin Yuan casually denied these established paths. Perhaps, to take a step back, combining Yin and Yang might be a path superior to Taiyin Wuji and Taiyang Wuji. Yet, the effort and sacrifices required to traverse this path were unknown.
Consider the third-generation Celestial Master of Tian Shi Sect, who attempted to balance Yin and Yang after becoming a Celestial Master. The result was a tragic demise, exploding into pieces.
Exploring new paths inevitably involves sacrifices, even for a Celestial Master. However, Lin Yuan, having gained recognition from the True Martial Sword, was destined to become a Celestial Master. There was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Ten birds in the woods are not worth one in hand. Rather than choosing a vague path, it's better to stick with the established ways of the invincible Celestial Masters.
This was the reason for Lord Cangqing's intense anger.
"From today onwards, Shanfeng, you will stay by my side. I will use True Qi daily to temper your body, trying to eliminate the influence of Yin and Yang forces. In no more than ten years, your foundation will be reshaped, and then you can start practicing anew."
Lord Cangqing spoke after a long silence.
"What?" The chubby Daoist beside him looked astonished at Lord Cangqing. Even for a peak Celestial Phenomenon expert, using True Qi daily to temper someone else's body would require a significant sacrifice. Lord Cangqing was essentially sacrificing himself; not only might his cultivation fall back to the initial stage of Celestial Phenomenon, but he might also lose twenty years of lifespan.
"Senior brother, you..." The Daoist in tattered robes sighed.
Although Lord Cangqing was stern and strict, he truly considered things from the perspective of Tian Shi Sect. Lin Yuan was the first person chosen by the True Martial Sword in five hundred years. Even though he deviated from the right path, Lord Cangqing didn't want to give up; he wanted to pull him back as much as possible.
"Master, I still believe that combining Yin and Yang is not a dead end. If you choose for me and force me into a different path, I'm afraid I'll lose interest in cultivation."
Lin Yuan directly rejected Lord Cangqing's offer. Mainly because allowing Lord Cangqing to temper his body would expose Lin Yuan's secret. Secondly, Lin Yuan didn't think that cultivating both Yin and Yang was wrong at the moment. The constant insights from Unrivaled Insight confirmed that this was a path surpassing the previous Celestial Masters.
However, Lin Yuan couldn't explicitly tell Lord Cangqing about this.
"Very well, this is your choice. Don't regret it in the future."
Lord Cangqing shook his head. Even if he was unwilling, he had to let go of Lin Yuan. Cultivation was an extremely personal matter, and Lin Yuan had gained recognition from the True Martial Sword. Lord Cangqing couldn't force him to do anything.
Soon after, Lord Cangqing and the other two Celestial Phenomenon experts left the True Martial Sword Repository.
Lin Yuan returned to the stone wall of the Celestial Masters, deep in thought. He wasn't scared by Lord Cangqing's words. As his consciousness descended into the body, even if something happened due to simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang, it wouldn't affect his main body in the primary world.
In simple terms, Lin Yuan had countless opportunities to start over.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan didn't believe he would tread the same path as the third-generation Celestial Master. The third-generation tried to forcibly introduce Yin energy into his body, intending to merge it with the overwhelming Yang energy cultivated for nearly a century. The imbalanced Yin and Yang resulted in an explosion, a bizarre occurrence.
