The Magus Era

Returning to the headquarters tent, Ji Hao took a few circles in the tent, then sent someone to invite Hao Tao to the headquarters.

Ji Hao told Hao Tao everything that happened just now between Wuzhi Qi and himself, hearing which, the latter was lost in his thoughts.

”The four water veins are the most important strongpoints of Gong Gong in Midland. Nine secret areas, what would be in those places? Hao Tao’s dark face turned wrinkled as he knitted his eyebrows and looked at Ji Hao.

They stared at each other for a while, without knowing what to do. At last, they wrote a secret letter together. Hao Tao gave the letter to a trusted underling to send back to Pu Ban City. Wuzhi Qi seemed to be wanting to say something more specific, yet he didn’t. This attitude of Wuzhi Qi made Ji Hao and Hao Tao feel that this whole thing was much more complicated than they thought. Therefore, Ji Hao and Hao Tao decided to report this to Emperor Shun and Si Wen Ming, and let them make the important decisions.

After Hao Tao left, Ji Hao took a few quick circles in the tent, then called Shaosi in a hurry, leaving her some words. After that, Ji Hao left the city alone and jumped into the vast water.

Over ten-thousand miles away from the city on the water, ten-thousand meters deep underwater, Ji Hao sat on a small hill, his arms held in front of his lower belly as he took a deep breath.

Bang! The water thousands of miles around Ji Hao quaked intensely. Within this area, all the water disappeared all of a sudden, while a dim five-colored light sparkled faintly on Ji Hao’s lower belly. The five-colored round cauldron hiding in his lower belly swallowed all the water. The bright light released from the small cauldron spun ceaselessly, speedily turning the after-world water into pre-world, then extracting a thin trace of extremely negative power from it.

Ji Hao narrowed his eyes. Priest Dachi taught him something about the great Dao of Taiji, based on which, Ji Hao began slowly absorbing and purifying that extremely negative power.

Thin strands of extremely negative power were quickly purifying, slowly turning into glistening gray-white air streams, flowing inside Ji Hao’s body. From Ji Hao’s head, a fiery cloud appeared, and from the cloud, a glowing-red sun rose, shining on the entire area with a warm light.

Those gray-white airstreams were absorbed by the sun, making Ji Hao quiver a bit. He generated this red sun with the power of the Dao of Taiji, and now, this sun started its very first real transformation, between the extremely negative and extremely positive, also known as Yin and Yang.

This red sun looked like the real sun in the world, which represented the pure positive power, which was the Yang. Yet, its real body was created by the extremely negative power, as the Yin. Yang on the outside, with Yin in the inside, transforming like the circle of life, remaining unbroken...

The extremely negative power merged with the black-hole-like core of the red sun. With difficulty, Ji Hao pushed the red sun out. Yin could generate Yang at an extreme point. Strands of pure positive power surged out of the core of the sun, flowing on the surface of the sun. Gradually, the purely positive power turned strong and potent, eventually turning into the power of sun, warming the entire area.

From all directions, the water roared over, flushing Ji Hao’s body, then being swallowed by the five-colored cauldron. Turbid waves rolled around Ji Hao. The white foaming waves slapped against each other, causing thunderous noises, while strong gales were blowing crazily. Ji Hao’s body suffered heavy strikes, that made his bones clang like metal.

A giant amount of water was swallowed by the five-colored cauldron. The after-world water had been transformed into pre-world extremely negative power. Then, the extremely negative power was purified by Ji Hao using the power of the great Dao of Taiji, and sent into the red sun above his head at last, generating the pure positive power.

Within a short while, a thriving, extremely positive power culminated in Ji Hao’s body. Sharp light beams dazzled out from every pore of his, making his body shine brightly. His body was even merging with the splendid light.

Inside his erect eye, the nine dragons chariot was affected by the extremely positive power inside Ji Hao’s body, and started releasing streams of red light.

Buzz! From the chariot, the East Emperor divine seal gradually flew up, slowly to the red sun above Ji Hao’s head. Ji Hao carefully released his spirit power and wrapped the divine seal up, allowing it to merge with the red sun, which was his primordial spirit.

This so-called East Emperor divine seal was actually transformed from the soul of Taiyi, the ancient East Divine Emperor in the heaven, in combination with the great Dao of sun. This divine seal represented Taiyi’s divine position.

East Emperor Taiyi’s entire life was recorded in this fist-sized red fireball, along with all his understanding of the great Dao of sun. Anyone powerful enough to merge with this divine seal and absorb all his understanding of the great Dao of sun would immediately attain all the power possessed by East Emperor. Also, East Emperor Taiyi was known as one of the most powerful few among all divine emperors.

The Pan Gu bell activated itself and released streams of Chaos power that surrounded the red sun.

Silently, the East Emperor divine seal merged with the red sun, which was Ji Hao’s primordial spirit. An overwhelming wave of information burst from the divine seal. Countless golden spell symbols transformed into golden dragons and phoenixes, hovering around Ji Hao, adding a dazzling golden shine to the red sun.

”My cultivation is based on the great Dao of Taiji now…But you want to lead me back to the pure Dao of sun…? Then, the sever cultivation I did in these days would be in vain, wouldn’t it? The Dao of sun is an extreme Dao, but only the Dao of Taiji is the true supreme Dao!”

Ji Hao gritted his teeth, withstanding the torrent of information released from the divine seal, while trying his best to maintain the soundness of the red sun.

The core of the red sun was the extremely negative power, while its surface was the extremely positive power. Yin and Yang had been transforming into each other ceaselessly, and this was the right method of cultivation to Ji Hao.

The East Emperor divine seal was domineering. It attempted to forcibly lead Ji Hao back to the pure Dao of sun and make him give up on the great Dao of Taiji, which was more inclusive and perfect. But how could Ji Hao let it?

The Pan Gu bell rang slightly. Next, the divine seal exploded all of a sudden. The dazzling golden light burst from the seal speedily merged with the red sun. Ji Hao felt that his primordial spirit turned heavier and heavier, more and more solid. Inside the red sun, a faint, light-golden silhouette emerged.

Torrents of information regarding the mysteriousness of the great Dao of sun surged out from the divine seal. That light-golden silhouette smiled, absorbing all the information.

East Emperor Taiyi, he was generated by the spirit of sun back in the prehistorical time. His understanding of the great Dao of sun had reached the peak of perfection. He was a breath away from merging completely with the sun, and attaining immortality with the great Dao of sun.

As long as the sun remained existing, East Emperor would not die!

By now, all of East Emperor’s understanding abut the great Dao of sun belonged to Ji Hao. A scorching hot torrent flooded out of the red sun, thousands of times hotter than lava, flushing Ji Hao’s body, over and over again. Inside Ji Hao’s accupoints, inner spirit stars were lit up one after another. Within a blink of an eye, his acupoints and meridians were all filled with sparkling light spots.

The power of sun was going beyond Ji Hao’s control, breaking the limit of Ji Hao’s Dao of Taiji and forcibly turning all Ji Hao’s power into sun power. But abruptly, the five-colored cauldron buzzed slightly in his lower belly. Unexpectedly, all sun power contained inside Ji Hao’s body was swallowed by the cauldron, then thin streams of extremely negative power were released without an end.

”Yin and Yang, the unity of opposites!”

Just now, Ji Hao attained the supreme great Dao of sun from the East Emperor divine seal, and right now, with the help of the small cauldron, he luckily started to develop the great Dao of Yin.

In the red sun above his head, an extremely dim silhouette emerged silently. This new silhouette was hundreds of times dimmer than the light-golden silhouette.

The two silhouettes had different shades of color, yet they had exactly the same height and shape. They both silently standing in the red sun, without making any move.
