Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

93: Self-created martial arts technique, shining with the sun and moon.The deepest darkness before dawn enveloped the Immortal Island, with only a faint line of light lurking on the horizon.

The Yin was about to hide, and the Yang had not yet emerged.

Li Yinglong had already brought Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen, standing quietly atop a Spiritual Vein source near the eastern bank of the Celestial Lake.

This place was extraordinary, not merely a node where a Spiritual Vein originated, but a nexus where the subterranean water’s Yin Qi intersected with the essence of the nascent morning sun.

The night dew had not dried, the cold air lingered, yet one could faintly perceive the vigorous vitality about to burst forth from the east, perfectly aligning with the cycle of Yin and Yang and the imagery of the initial opening of Chaos.

This was a spot Li Yinglong had specifically sought out.

”Clan Chief, why are we here...”

Song Shuwen looked at the slightly desolate scenery around him, unable to suppress his confusion.

Although Song Shuyao did not speak, her bright eyes held the same puzzlement.

Li Yinglong stood with his back to them, facing the breaking dawn, his dark robe fluttering in the rising morning breeze:

”People who seek the Dao mostly follow ancient methods, searching for immortal fate in fragmented Jade Slips, exhausting their mental strength on the legacies of past sages.

This path is safe, yet ultimately, one merely follows in the footsteps of others, making it difficult to achieve true freedom or witness the Great Radiance.”

He slowly turned around, his gaze like the deep starry sky, resting upon the siblings, seemingly looking straight into the interwoven Sun and Moon Dao patterns deep within their Dao Body Origin.

”However, the two of you bear the Twin Yin-Yang Dao Body, favored by the creation of Heaven and Earth, a manifestation of the Yin and Yang Law in the mortal realm.

If you restrain it using ordinary methods, it would be no different from using chains of common iron to shackle the Dragon and Phoenix of the Nine Heavens, merely wasting your spiritual nature and squandering your Innate talent.”

These words struck the siblings’ hearts like a clap of thunder.

Although they knew their Dao Bodies were extraordinary, they had never Cultivated before, and for a moment, confusion and apprehension surfaced in their minds.

Neither spoke; their intuition told them that the Clan Chief would surely dispel their confusion.

Li Yinglong’s face remained utterly calm, but in the depths of his eyes, the fire of wisdom burned.

He extended a finger.

No spiritual light shone from its tip, yet it seemed to guide the invisible Qi field around them:

”What is a technique? It is the path previous generations have walked, the marks they have left.

But when Heaven and Earth first opened, who taught Pangu a technique? Amidst the birth and death of myriad things, who imparted the Dao to the Grandmist?”

”The true supreme technique is not sought externally but proven internally; it is not about imitation, but about creation!”

”Today, I will not impart to you any Cultivation Technique word for word, nor will I teach you any Move or Divine Ability.”

Under the siblings’ glittering gaze, he slowly raised both hands.

His left hand was held up, seeming to bear the pure radiance of the bright moon; his right hand was pressed down slightly, as if embracing the grandeur of the great sun.

An indescribable Concept emanated outward, centered on him.

”I shall use my spirit as a guide and my intent as a bridge to present to you the two most Origin rhythms in this world—the stillness of the Yin and the movement of the Yang!”

Before his voice faded, Li Yinglong moved his hands apart:

His left hand seemed to transform into a deep pool, reflecting the cold moonlight, while his right hand was like a furnace, burning with scorching golden flames!

That posture and movement were surprisingly the health preservation method from his previous life—Tai Chi!

He did not mobilize his own spiritual power, but instead, he unreservedly released and demonstrated his understanding and perception of the ”Yin” and ”Yang” Laws through a form of pure physical language!

In that instant, a small Domain quietly formed, centered around him.

Song Shuyao felt herself enveloped by a clear, peaceful, and nourishing aura, as if she were standing beneath a silent moonlit night.

Her mind settled involuntarily, and the ultimate Yin power within her body joyfully leaped, resonating with the aura.

Song Shuwen, conversely, felt a warm, vigorous Dao rhythm full of pioneering strength envelop him, like facing the rising morning sun.

His spirit broadened, and pure Yang True Qi gradually began to circulate on his own within his Qi Sea, becoming increasingly intense and refined.

Even more miraculously, these two seemingly opposing Dao rhythms, under Li Yinglong’s smooth and flowing movements, did not repel each other.

Instead, they harmoniously rotated and intertwined around a central point, like the arms of a vortex, forming a dynamic balance!

”Watch closely!”

Li Yinglong’s voice, like the grand sound of the Great Dao, resonated directly within their Souls:

”Solitary Yin cannot give birth, and solitary Yang cannot grow.

Only through the interaction of Yin and Yang can myriad things be created!

Your Dao Bodies are the most perfect carriers of Yin and Yang in this world!

Your Cultivation Technique should use each other as a mirror to reflect yourselves; it should use resonance as a bridge to achieve the Fusion of Dao rhythms!”

”There is no need to deliberately memorize routes, nor to force the shape of any Move!

Release your minds, and use your Dao Bodies to ’listen,’ to ’feel,’ and to ’embrace’ this Origin Dao rhythm!

Let it guide the automatic circulation of power within your bodies, and let it inspire the creative spark deep within your Souls!”

Initially, Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen were still somewhat overwhelmed, attempting to forcibly ”understand” and ”memorize” the profound fluctuations of the Dao rhythm.

But this was like trying to scoop the moon from the water with one’s hand; the harder they tried, the blurrier it became.

Li Yinglong noticed their stagnation and shouted again:

”Discard the form, grasp the intent; grasp the intent, forget the form!

Forget ’Cultivating’ and return to ’instinct’!

The two of you are fundamentally one; why distinguish between self and other? Why seek externally?”

It was like a sudden awakening!

The siblings’ bodies shook simultaneously, and they subconsciously looked toward each other.

The moment their gazes met, the ”Spiritual Bridge” deeply rooted in their Bloodline and Soul burst open!

They stopped trying to ”learn” what the Clan Chief was demonstrating.

Instead, they completely emptied themselves, allowing their Yin and Yang Dao Bodies to intimately touch and greedily absorb the surrounding Origin Dao rhythm.

A miraculous change occurred.

The two began to follow Li Yinglong’s movements, spontaneously performing Tai Chi motions.

However, their movements bore no resemblance to Li Yinglong’s.

The two were dancing separately, their movements and rhythms completely different, yet they circulated and mutually generated each other.

Song Shuyao felt her Divine Sense transform into a cold, bright moon, naturally ”breathing” according to a mysterious trajectory.

True Qi flowed within her body accordingly, and the routes were generated spontaneously, perfectly natural and unimpeded.

She even ”saw” that the trajectory of her younger brother’s ”Scorching Sun” echoed her own ”Lunar Orbit,” forming part of a perfect cycle.

The same was true for Song Shuwen.

He felt he had become the scorching sun patrolling the sky, radiating boundless light.

The patterns of circulation did not come from external memory but originated from the Dao Body’s inherent desire and the guidance of the Dao rhythm displayed by the Clan Chief.

He also clearly perceived that the trajectory of his elder sister’s ”Bright Moon” complemented his own ”Solar Orbit.”

They did not acquire the name of any specific Cultivation Technique, nor did they memorize any particular Meridian route.

But the ”instinct” of ”how to circulate power” and the ”tacit understanding” of ”how to cooperate with the other” had already taken root deep within their Dao Foundation like seeds, beginning to spontaneously grow and evolve!

Li Yinglong slowly retracted his movements, his face slightly pale, clearly indicating that this action had greatly depleted his mental energy.

But his eyes were filled with gratification and shock, and he even looked somewhat confused.

”Is this... the instinctive reaction of a naturally formed Dao Body? It is actually this powerful and profound!”

Waves surged in his heart.

He could vaguely sense the supreme principles contained within the Tai Chi phantom and see how Spiritual Qi was absorbed and refined in a perfectly circular manner.

However, the specific circulating trajectories, how the Yin and Yang power subtly converted, and how they achieved perfect resonance through the invisible ”Spiritual Bridge”... were, to him, like looking through a layer of mysterious gauze—he could see the outline but could not grasp the core.

He knew what happened, but not why it happened.

A ”cognitive barrier” stood before him.

Facing this Innate creation of Law, he still felt his own ”limitations.”

”Since I am the Clan Chief, guiding them onto this unprecedented path, if I cannot even understand its foundation, how will I guide them if they encounter a Bottleneck or a deviation in the future? How can I protect their Dao?”

His experience from his two lives told him that the best way to truly understand a groundbreaking innovation was not to observe and analyze it, but to personally integrate and become a part of it!

In an instant, his consciousness sank into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, communicating with the dormant System.

”System, activate the [Aptitude Sharing LV1] ability and share the Twin Yin-Yang Dao Body!”

He wanted to simultaneously share the Dao Body of the twin siblings, hoping to understand it so that he could resolve their confusion should they encounter any in the future.

[Command confirmed, targets locked: Song Shuyao, Song Shuwen...]

[Command executing... initiating stripping... Dao Law mapping in progress...]

The moment the System prompt sounded, a sudden change occurred!

No earth-shattering commotion was visible, but the space in the small area surrounding Li Yinglong seemed to twist slightly.

The light and shadow of the sun and moon shining together in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, separating a wisp of the purest Sun and Moon essence.

As if summoned, it crossed the Void Realm and suddenly plunged into his glabella!

”Buzz~!”

Li Yinglong’s body trembled violently!

He felt as if his Soul had been instantly split into two halves—one half was thrown into ten thousand years of profound ice, experiencing the Yin’s profound stillness, descent, and nourishment; the other half was tossed into the Nine Heavens Furnace, enduring the Yang’s intensity, ascent, and evil-breaking power!

These two forces, diametrically opposed yet born from the same source, did not aggressively modify his Physical Body or integrate into his Bloodline like the true dragon source blood.

They were more like a pair of invisible ”Dao Seals,” one Yin and one Yang, directly branded into the deepest part of his life’s Origin, distinctly separate from the latent true dragon source blood, and not contradictory to it.

[Twin Yin-Yang Dao Body (Shared State) loaded successfully.

This Dao Body exists independently in the form of a ’Law Imprint,’ does not undergo Fusion with the host’s original Bloodline, can circulate autonomously, and can also be actively guided by the host.]

The System’s cold prompt sounded.

Li Yinglong abruptly opened his eyes.

A strange phenomenon flashed and vanished in his pupils—his left eye was profound like the night, and his right eye was blazing like the day—before they immediately returned to normal.

But at this moment, the world in his eyes was completely different!

When he looked again at Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen, who were engrossed in deep resonance Cultivation, the ”gauze” that had blocked his perception had vanished!

He clearly ”saw” the mysterious circulating trajectories within their bodies:

How Song Shuyao’s ultimate Yin power flowed like moonlight, nourishing her Meridians, and at a crucial node, passed a trace of pure Yin Origin through the invisible bridge to Song Shuwen, harmonizing his overly abundant Solar True Fire; and how Song Shuwen’s pure Yang power circulated like a solar corona, refining Impurities, and feeding back a wisp of Solar Essence to stimulate the vitality hidden within Song Shuyao’s Yin power.

Every rotation of the Tai Chi phantom, every pursuit of the Yin and Yang fish, contained the supreme principles of balance and creation, holding no more secrets in his eyes!

After a long time, the siblings slowly awoke from that mysterious state of resonance.

They glanced at each other, seeing shock, joy, and a sudden realization in the other’s eyes!

So this is how the Dao could be sought! This is how techniques could be obtained!

The two were no longer confused in the slightest.

They turned together toward Li Yinglong, without saying a word, and simply knelt down with immense solemnity.

A thousand words were contained within this single bow.

They were grateful that the Clan Chief was not constrained by common sense and had forged this unprecedented Dao path for them, and they understood the expectations placed upon them and the difficulty and glory of this path.

Li Yinglong accepted the bow calmly, and only after they stood up did he say in a deep voice:

”On this path, we have no prior route to reference.

The hardship and unpredictable dangers within it far surpass the orderly approach by ten thousand times.

Are you willing to hold this resolve, walk this path, and carve out a unique, heaven-reaching immortal journey in the vast sea of Dao, both for yourselves and for my Li Clan?”

Song Shuyao and Song Shuwen straightened their backs, their gazes resolute:

”Disciple (Shuyao/Shuwen) hereby vows never to fail this body, never to fail this Dao, and never to fail the high expectations of the Clan Chief!

Even if thousands of calamities befall us and ten thousand difficulties stand before us, we shall maintain a cautious heart and walk the path of courageous advancement, using our shared Dao to verify the Yin and Yang and align with the Will of Heaven!”

The morning sun completely leaped out of the sea of clouds, its golden light stretching for ten thousand miles, lengthening the shadows of the three individuals, as if they had merged with Heaven and Earth and this nascent radiance.

A legendary Dao path, whose spark was ignited by Li Yinglong’s wisdom surpassing the age, and which would be jointly pioneered by these twins through supreme perseverance and bond, officially set forth on this day!

Their future is destined to be one where the sun and moon shine together, illuminating the ages!
