Chapter 958: SCR Summit,Extreme Yin Soul
Na Xinyi had won!
She, with an aura of unmatched brilliance, rivaling Su Mei in grace and ease, waltzed towards the Void Gate before the countless awed eyes of all spectators. If at first everyone would watch her figure with awe and desire, now they were watching it with awe and disbelief! Some even had fear in their eyes.
While all these challengers were young, a Chosen was considered invincible on their cultivation, always capable of fighting against those of higher cultivation bases. This was why Su Mei's instantaneous defeat that was filled with profoundness hadn't shaken the core of everyone. The fact she was a Chosen, even if it was 'just' a gold-rank force, justified her easy win—regardless of age.
She wouldn't be a Chosen unless that was the case. After all, many cultivators forgo foundation development for cultivation comprehension, ascending stages without being particularly strong. Or vice versa, such as Purists. This was extremely common, but none of these figures were Chosen, and only a few were Heroes and Saintesses.
They were simply too weak in their cultivation stage, never capable of establishing that marketed dominance synonymous with Chosen.
While Ye Ming's death was tragic, it once again drove home this crucial point that Chosen was chosen for their monstrous talent, comprehensive abilities, and combat strength. Not one of them could be lacking.
And Xue Yifei and Wu Baozhai's fight again reinforced this point as they seemed to rely on various methods to elevate their strength beyond their stage of cultivation. The latter, for example, had their aura reaching Starlord levels.
Again, as expected. With both of them joining together with their high-grade astral armaments, high-level spells, arts, and methods, they seized a hard-fought advantage where their trump cards were laid bare in the first few seconds of the fight.
But Na Xinyi's victory was mind-blowing! She didn't use a strange art that elevated her energies and aura to Starlord levels or had the same cultivation stage as her opponent, highlighting why Chosen earned their title. No, she was two stages below, alone, and merely executed an extremely simple art!
An art that almost every female cultivator knew! Especially virgin talents.
True Yin Art: Yin Spiritual Storm!
It was very, very basic. By drawing upon one's Primal Yin Source's energies, intermixing it with Spiritual Qi or Spiritual Force, the female cultivator would unleash a ravaging storm of spiritual strength that could disorientate a cultivator's Spirit of Cultivation! This art was extremely effective against male cultivators.
When Na Xinyi's ravishing figure left the stage, the jaws of many still hadn't left the floor. The young looked to their seniors for answers.
Lin Xianxian felt the curious gazes of her sect's young elites on her. As Sect Master, she was given the role of lecturer. While there were cultivators of a higher cultivation base, age, and experience than her, the youths nonetheless sought her out for answers. Mostly because she had been doing so since the beginning.
Lin Xianxian, too, was a little shaken by Na Xinyi, but she kept her aura of wisdom and knowledge. She didn't alleviate their cloudy questions immediately, instead asking: "To those with a Spirit of Yin, what advantages do they have?"
The Spirit of Yin she was referring to was the Yin Soul or a Heart of Yin Qi before its Natal Soul transformation.
Zhang Yin, as Chosen, was knowledgeable of varied Spirits of Cultivation. So she hastily answered excitedly, "A Spirit of Yin internally refines and contains yin energies three times as strong as a normal Spirit of Cultivation."
In the Qi Condensation Realm, the middle phases of Yin Form, Yang Growth, and False Reality were all about allowing one's Heart of Qi to adapt to Yin and Yang energies, intermixing them into one's Heart of Qi to a completely cohesive extent.
Yin Form granted one the ability to give form to the formless, allowing one to manifest one's qi into various shapes and exert greater control over it.
Yang Growth granted substance and life, giving form tangibility. But fire can exude heat, but it can not ignite, lacking a crucial component to interact with the world.
False Reality merged Yin and Yang with Mana, that crucial component of the world, allowing cultivators to create real elements. The ability of Creation was born from this, allowing Qi to interact with the world as if it was real. Water can hydrate; fire can ignite; wind can sustain; earth can change.
A Heart of Yin Qi or Heart of Wind Qi allowed them to internally refine purer forms of these energies using the mental, physical, spiritual, and essence. Typically, it was limited to a three times increase from standard levels.
Lin Xianxian continued her line of questioning: "What advantages does a Yin Spirit have?"
"Yin Spirit?" A few were initially confused, but Zhang Yin wasn't. After all, she cultivated this particular Spirit of Cultivation, so how could she not know? If a Spirit of Yin could be referred to as a Heart of Yin Qi; inversely, a Yin Spirit was a Yin Heart of Qi.
To clarify, Wei Wuyin's Draconic Void Soul(Kratos) would be a Draconic Heart of Void Bloodforce or the Divine Elemental Soul(Ori) would be a Divine Heart of Elemental Qi.
"Yin Spirits are transformed by a cultivator's Primal Yin Source, interconnecting them as one, and infusing their Yin Energies into their Spiritual Energy, greatly amplifying its Spiritual Strength via continuous refinement. A Yang Spirit does the same, but the Spiritual Energy affects one's physical body instead, nourishing and strengthening it."
Lin Xianxian nodded with a tinge of satisfaction in her eyes. The Cultivation Method of the Yin Spirit of Cultivation could only be cultivated by the purest of Yin Energies, untainted by yang energies, so exclusive to virgins. Conversely, the Cultivation Method of Yang Spirit of Cultivation needed the purest of Yin Energies to nourish one's Primal Yang Source to sufficient levels before cultivating.
One needed purity, the other needed...well…excess of the opposite.
"What if one merged a Yin Spirit with a Spirit of Yin?" Lin Xianxian asked Zhang Yin.
Zhang Yin frowned as she shook her head. "It's impossible; it would create a strong imbalance of Yin-Yang, making it completely impossible to use Creation, a core component of all our strengths, and introducing all sorts of ill-adverse developments to one's body." She knew this detail by heart because she had once wanted to cultivate a Yin Heart of Yin Qi!
She didn't have a preference for men from a young age, so she didn't care if the imbalance caused her to be infertile. Unfortunately, the consequences were far more severe than that. The Yin Imbalance could cause growth mutations, unstable mental energies, and an aversion to all things yang.
Yang-attributed Solar Light would burn.
And that was just the beginning.
"But what if it was possible," Lin Xianxian asked sternly.
Lin Ming's eyes lit with enlightenment. "Then the Spiritual Strength would be continuously refined by yin energies three times as strong! It would-"
"It would make one's Spiritual Strength monstrous!" Zhang Yang finished Lin Ming's thoughts, excited at figuring it out. "The Saintess' spiritual strength is far stronger than normal, using it to impact the Lesser Timelord entity's control over their cultivation—their physical, mental, and spiritual forces! No wonder a simple Spiritual Art froze it."
With the truth excavated, the others firmly grasped why the entity had lost. The Yin Aura of Na Xinyi had disguised her Spiritual Strength, overshadowing everything else, and prevented them from noticing this point. There were clues, but only after looking back did they realize how obvious it was.
"But isn't it impossible?" Zhang Yin's frown deepened considerably. While it made sense, Zhang Yin couldn't quite believe it.
"There are always exceptions for everything; she truly fits her title as the Extreme Yin Saintess. The Dark Yin Palace has found a perfect successor." Lin Xianxian was still awed by Na Xinyi's power, but she knew it wasn't that simple as an exception of circumstance. The degree of Spiritual Strength exhibited by Na Xinyi vastly exceeds any of her estimations of what she should be able to unleash. A Gravity Emission Phase cultivator should be able to affect a Timelord with that cultivation base, but not to such a terrifying degree.
She was unaware that Na Xinyi had a Four-Point Yin Physique, containing four Primal Yin Sources, all interconnected with her 'Extreme' Yin Soul. While at the Foundation Establishment Realm, she had Yin Energy at the level of a Yin Form Phase expert. Now, at the Gravity Emission Phase, her Yin Energy levels exceeded even a Star Core Phase virgin, and it was all nourishing her Spiritual Strength with every passing second.
There were countless men among men that swore to themselves, to their souls, that they would obtain her!
Lin Ming, however, had a completely different reaction. Why were all the women connected to Wei Wuyin in some way so freaking terrifying?
-----
After Na Xinyi entered the Void Gate, she noticed that she was in an entirely different venue and environment. A single breath of hers intermixed with the purest astral essence she had ever felt. Her eyes squinted with discomfort as she noticed with her Spiritual Yin Sense, her uniquely cultivated Spiritual Sense, over a hundred unfathomable auras! They were all so intense!
For a moment, she felt breathless despite her body and spirit's instinctual desire to do so.
"Took you long enough," a teasing voice caught her attention as she saw a woman sitting on a golden mat in the lotus position with a hand-seal held tightly.
Only when her senses focused solely on the woman did she feel relief from the overwhelming auras. A genuine smile subconsciously formed, "Sister Baozhai!"
