Chapter 1981: Chapter 1977: Farewell with No Return Shen Luo’s cultivation is now profound, and he has also gained a deeper understanding of the Innate Treasure-refining Technique. He soon refined the wood attribute prohibition of the Divine Demon Pillar and eagerly moved on to refine the next prohibition. This one was an earth attribute prohibition, and he had little understanding of earth attribute God’s Power, so his insights from refining it were minimal. “It seems that to comprehend these prohibitions, one must base it on their own God’s Power.” He mused inwardly and continued to cast spells. The restrictions within the Divine Demon Pillar numbered about two or three dozen, covering the Heavenly and Earthly Five Elements and various aspects like Heaven and Earth Thunder. Shen Luo refined them one by one, gaining considerable insights from most. Particularly beneficial to him was a Thunder and Lightning Prohibition, which, combined with the Wind and Thunder Spirit Patterns on his arms and the Thunder Escape Technique on the Cloud Chasing Lightning Boots, almost enabled him to comprehend a Thunder and Lightning Law. Unfortunately, he was just one step short, falling short of success. Still, this deepened Shen Luo’s understanding of Thunder and Lightning God’s Power further, and his mastery of the Thunder Escape Technique became even more profound. Now, only one fundamental prohibition remained within the Divine Demon Pillar. This prohibition was composed of black and white hues, vaguely forming a Taiji Pattern. “Yin-Yang Prohibition? Could it be the Great Yin-Yang Mysterious Prohibition?” Shen Luo speculated secretly, activating the Innate Treasure-refining Technique to refine this prohibition. The Black and White Tai Chi Pattern shone brightly, spinning rapidly, and a profound law transmitted into his mind: the Yin Yang Laws. He had initially used the power of Yin-Yang within the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle to create the Xuan Yang Demonic Transformation Divine Power, having quite a bit of insight into the dual forces of Yin and Yang. Now, with the profound knowledge of the Yin-Yang Prohibition, his understanding of the Dao of Yin-Yang deepened rapidly. Shen Luo was secretly pleased. Suddenly, he remembered something and formed a peculiar hand seal with both hands, initiating the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram. This Yin-Yang Creation Diagram contained transformations of the Yin-Yang dual power; otherwise, it wouldn’t bear such a name. Shen Luo had some insight into the Dao of Yin-Yang but was far from sufficient, which is why he had practiced for so long without fully mastering it. Now, aided by the Great Yin-Yang Mysterious Prohibition within the Divine Demon Pillar, his understanding of the Yin-Yang dual power continued to deepen, making it an ideal time to comprehend the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram. As time passed, Shen Luo sat quietly atop the Divine Demon Pillar, unmoving. The entire Divine Demon Pillar was almost completely permeated by Golden Light, evidently on the verge of being fully refined. The Lord of Black and White and Xuanyuan’s remnant soul stood quietly aside, watching Shen Luo, without uttering a word. At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly opened his eyes. His body surged with a black and white light, swirling around him, vaguely forming a Black and White Tai Chi Diagram. “Oh, he’s beginning to comprehend the Yin Yang Laws so soon!” The Lord of Black and White uttered softly. Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan’s remnant soul also revealed a look of delight, faintly breathing a sigh of relief. The Yin-Yang Creation Diagram was indeed founded on the transformation of Yin and Yang. To master this diagram, one must comprehend the Yin Yang Laws. But comprehending the Yin Yang Laws is exceedingly difficult. The power of Yin-Yang is nearly extinct within the Three Realms. The Great Yin-Yang Mysterious Prohibition within the Divine Demon Pillar is almost Shen Luo’s only chance to comprehend the Yin Yang Laws, which is why Xuanyuan’s remnant soul urged Shen Luo to vie for the Divine Demon Well. If he missed this opportunity, Shen Luo would never hope to master the Pangu True Technique in his lifetime. Now it seems that he’s doing quite well. Shen Luo clasped his hands, and the Black and White Tai Chi Pattern quickly shrank, finally merging into his body. His internal mana and Demonic Qi roared in operation, producing a sound like ocean tides, further emitting crystalline light, connecting front and back into one. After several breaths, these crystalline lights formed a pattern, which was precisely the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram. The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi within the Ten Thousand Buddha’s Golden Pagoda, the pure Demonic Qi, as well as various vitality left behind from the previous great battle, including the purple poison fog from Bai Linglong and Bai Chuan, surged madly towards the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram like a tide. The Yin-Yang Creation Diagram shone brilliantly, spinning rapidly, absorbing all this vitality. The purple poison fog was also swallowed by the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram and thoroughly refined, with Shen Luo being completely unharmed. “So this is your Yin-Yang Creation Diagram. It indeed has some depth,” said the Lord of Black and White, nodding upon witnessing this. “Just a bit of extremely poisonous mist. If he couldn’t even refine that, how could he contend with Chiyou?” Xuanyuan’s remnant soul seemed entirely unconcerned, saying so with a calm tone. “Hmph, self-praise,” the Lord of Black and White snorted, yet his expression was quite gratified. It took a full quarter of an hour before the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram on Shen Luo’s body dimmed, and the surging vitality within the Tower returned to calm. “Thank you, Elder Lord of Black and White, Elder Xuanyuan!” He gracefully descended from the top of the Divine Demon Pillar and gave the two a bow. “Very good. You have already comprehended the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram. Next, you can cultivate the Pangu True Technique. It seems I didn’t misjudge you after all,” Xuanyuan’s remnant soul nodded. “Yes, I will do my utmost to master the Pangu True Technique as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint Elder’s expectations,” Shen Luo replied. “Good, good…” Xuanyuan’s remnant soul laughed heartily, suddenly turning into a stream of Golden Light, flying away into the distance, disappearing in a blink of an eye. “Elder, where are you going?” Shen Luo called out urgently. Since stepping into the Cultivation World, he had always relied on himself to explore and cultivate, rarely receiving assistance from others. Although his time with Xuanyuan’s remnant soul was not long, Shen Luo already regarded him as a mentor in his heart. “The Pangu True Technique finally has a successor. My wish is fulfilled, and I bid farewell, never to meet again.” Xuanyuan’s remnant soul’s voice gradually faded, eventually returning to void. Hearing these words, Shen Luo felt a sense of loss. “Xuanyuan’s wish is fulfilled, which is indeed a joyous affair. Shen Luo, you needn’t be this way,” said the Lord of Black and White. “Yes, it seems Black and White Daoist friend and Elder Xuanyuan have long known each other. Do you know where Elder Xuanyuan might be heading? Is he staying in this Secret Realm?” Shen Luo adjusted his mood and asked. “Although I’ve known Xuanyuan for many years, his thoughts are unpredictable. I don’t know where he would go, but he definitely won’t stay here,” the Lord of Black and White replied. “Why not?” Shen Luo was slightly curious. “This place has already been discovered by the Demon Clan. Keeping the entrance of the Divine Demon Well here is no longer safe. It must be transferred immediately to another location for safety. The relocation of the Divine Demon Well would cause immense damage to the Secret Realm space outside. Most of the Secret Realm would collapse, so naturally, Xuanyuan wouldn’t stay,” said the Lord of Black and White. “Can I move the entrance of the Divine Demon Well? I once heard an elder mention that moving the entrance of the Divine Demon Well requires immense space, only possible by Beiming Kun, an ancient Divine Beast that nurtures a space within its body and has comprehended the Spatial Rule. It could steal the entrance from Ling Mountain, but I don’t have such capabilities,” Shen Luo said in shock. He had already completely refined the Divine Demon Pillar, becoming the Well Guardian of the Divine Demon Well, and was deeply concerned that this place had been discovered by the Demon Clan, unaware until the Lord of Black and White mentioned it. “That’s correct. Moving the entrance of the Divine Demon Well requires immense Power of Space. Although you don’t have it, the Picture Scroll Spiritual Treasure you bear can,” the Lord of Black and White said with a smile.
