After a wonderful communication between body and spirit with Murong Qingqing, Jiang Dali also gained inspiration and understood the relief contents of War God Chronicles Two and Three.

Moreover, the Reverse Nine Revolutions technique recorded in War God Chronicles Two, Three, and One was completely unified during the sudden enlightenment process, merging into a secret skill, "Yin Yang Fusion".

This secret skill, in its conception, is quite similar to the "Innate Gang Qi" which emphasizes extreme Yang and extreme Yin, allowing one’s Essence Qi to exert these powers. However, this chronicle has another major effect, which is the realm of Yin Yang Great Joy.

At the time of creating this martial arts, the War God was also a powerful male figure from ancient times, naturally having many outstanding female followers. The War God observed the yin and yang of heaven and earth compared to the yin and yang of the human body; the fusion of heaven and earth’s yin and yang gives birth to all things, while the fusion of the human body’s yin and yang nurtures new life.

Therefore, in Yin Yang Fusion, it involves the essence of life, which is the most primitive and original power of heaven and earth.

The War God thus combined the masculinity of males with the femininity of females, creating this secret skill of "Yin Yang Fusion".

By cultivating this secret skill, one can promote the life force to become more powerful, quickly enhancing one’s spirit, opening the threshold of the body’s potential.

Similarly, using this secret skill, one can swiftly restore the Essence Qi and spirit depletion of both parties through the vigorous life force generated during Yin Yang Fusion, achieving a miraculous effect of rapid healing.

And the Reverse Nine Revolutions technique recorded in Chronicle One can also be used in the process of Yin Yang Fusion, helping to transmit one’s power, then rotate and return, quickly boosting the opponent’s yin power to its peak and aiding one’s yang power.

With Jiang Dali’s current martial arts accomplishments, after experiencing the magical aspects of this secret skill, he couldn’t help but marvel at the War God’s ingenuity.

Neither isolated yin nor isolated yang can thrive; only when yin and yang are balanced can harmony be achieved.

But while everyone knows the principle, how to promote the balance of yin and yang for mutual benefit is the key.

This key lies in the Reverse Nine Revolutions.

Because the body has many potential points and secret apertures in its limbs and bones, trying to fully discover them feels like an impossible task.

However, by using the special method of condensing the Reverse Nine Revolutions in one point and then quickly spreading it, it can travel through twists and turns, delivering power to every nook and cranny of the body’s limbs and secret apertures in a short time, comprehensively developing the body’s potential.

Jiang Dali had always thought the Reverse Nine Revolutions was purely a combat skill, which, when executed, could gather power into one point and then explode into nine entirely different forces, making it difficult for enemies to withstand.

Only now does he realize that the true intent of the Reverse Nine Revolutions is actually a Dharma to promote Yin Yang Fusion.

This indeed is a combat skill, but the main combat target when the War God created this Dharma was actually...

Now he feels that his physical body indeed has become stronger after experiencing Yin Yang Fusion.

If analyzed from a data perspective, it’s reflected in his Qi-Blood, which increased by a whole thirty thousand, reaching the massive amount of three hundred and sixty thousand, gaining significantly.

However, Jiang Dali also knows that this Yin Yang Fusion secret skill doesn’t always produce such a huge effect every time it’s used.

This time, it was also thanks to the stimulus from the aura formed by the fusion of the Poison Sack and Gallbladder of Orochi being squeezed and burst, coupled with the fact that he and Murong Qingqing had both never experienced such intimacy, that brought about such great benefits amidst various fortuitous situations.

If he hopes to achieve such an enhancement level again in the future, he has to continue accumulating, ready for a breakthrough.

"Although the blind spot found in the Reverse Nine Revolutions this time is quite strange, it also deepened my understanding of this combat skill. Now it can be used on other parts besides the arms and upper body; it won’t be long before I can use it on the legs as well."

Jiang Dali thought silently to himself, noticing the Qi Force vibration on the other side, Dongfang Bubai’s breathing started to change, and the vast Heaven and Earth Power surged towards Dongfang Bubai, knowing immediately that the opponent had broken through again using Orochi’s Essence and Essence Blood.

Immediately, he got up and looked at the red silhouette enveloped by the dense tide of Heaven and Earth Power.

...

Orochi’s Essence and Essence Blood are its abundant and powerful life essence and strength source.

But such life essence and strength cannot be utilized by just anyone. Those who absorb it rashly could suffer severe consequences, dying violently from the poison or turning into a half-human half-snake monster, losing their sanity, until eventually being found and devoured by another Orochi’s body.

Dongfang Bubai, however, obtained an ancient martial arts secret manual named "Divinity Transformation" in Ying Country, through which he can strengthen his power by devouring Orochi’s Essence and Essence Blood. Therefore, he targeted Orochi.

In that "Divinity Transformation" martial arts ancient book, it explains that Orochi is a genderless hermaphroditic beast, a characteristic almost identical to the legendary gods, which is why it is revered as a Divine Beast by Ying Country.

If a person wishes to devour Orochi’s Essence and Essence Blood, they must also reach the legendary Heavenly Person Transformation state, where yin and yang exist in harmony, before being able to freely master Orochi’s strength.

For Dongfang Bubai, who had long reached the stage of Heavenly Person Transformation, using Orochi’s Essence and Essence Blood to cultivate "Divinity Transformation" was undoubtedly another quick path to power, helping him rapidly close the gap between himself and Jiang Dali after the "Sunflower Treasure Book".

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai had successfully absorbed the vast Essence and Essence Blood contained within this part of Orochi’s body. Although he only refined a small portion overall, it allowed him to break through once again, completely stepping into the level of the Heavenly Human 8th Realm.

After concluding his cultivation, Dongfang Bubai’s aura clearly strengthened, his exquisite face appearing even more enchanting, with natural majesty.

However, in Jiang Dali’s keen Qi Mechanism Sensing, he could still observe the complicated and unstable aura surrounding Dongfang Bubai, unlike before when it was so pure and clear.

"This time, this part of Orochi’s body is extraordinarily powerful, and the vital essence and essence blood contained within it are extremely abundant. I can currently only refine thirty percent, and it has already caused my strength to soar. If the remaining part is completely refined, it should be enough to cross into the Heavenly Human 9th Realm..."

Dongfang Bubai sat cross-legged on the ground, the hem of the red robe touching the earth, an aloof and cold temperament raising her delicate chin. Her elegant phoenix eyes glanced at Jiang Dali, conveying her words through ventriloquism.

Jiang Dali nodded, "From your somewhat mixed aura, it seems that it will still take quite some time to fully refine the vital essence and essence blood of Orochi. How about I lend you the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber?"

The Breaking Realm Pearl possesses the function of refining the Three Elements.

Although it is currently ineffective for Dongfang Bubai and others who have already used it, needing some time for the "Skill CD cooling", if it’s just to send the vital essence and essence blood of Orochi into the Breaking Realm Pearl for refinement before transferring it out for absorption, it can still be done.

"No need!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Dongfang Bubai declined with a flash in her eyes, speaking calmly, "The mixed aura is mainly because I once consumed a Blood Bodhi. The Blood Bodhi contains the essence blood of the Fire Qilin, which repels the Blood of Orochi. Once I expel the Qilin essence blood from the Blood Bodhi, the absorption speed will significantly increase."

Jiang Dali was surprised, then nodded, "In that case... very well."

Given his relationship with Dongfang, if she needed the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, she would certainly not hesitate to ask for it. With her saying so, it was evidently unnecessary. He had not probed into the intricacies of her body’s condition, naturally letting her handle her own issues.

"Clack!"

The sound of clothing being donned resonated.

Jiang Dali turned around and saw Murong Qingqing had changed into her old samurai robe, covering her tall and enchanting youthful body.

She had her hair tied into a ponytail at the back, exuding a heroic spirit.

Even in such old, loose samurai robes, her beauty and temperament remained unmasked.

Her flawless oval face was slightly blushing, lips like a red cherry, brows untouched yet beautifully arched. Noticing Jiang Dali’s gaze, she raised her eyebrows gracefully, turned back with a gentle smile, her eyes clear as water, exuding extraordinary elegance.

"Now that your goal has been achieved, Sect Hierarch, are you planning to leave?"

Her words were consultative, with a tone as usual, not changing due to emotional shifts, as she understood Jiang Dali’s intentions, thus not allowing her actions or words to create barriers.

"Correct!"

Jiang Dali crossed his arms over his chest, the tight samurai armor accentuating his muscular build, and said, "However, we won’t all leave together; instead, you, Dongfang, and Xiao Wang will all leave Ying Country, while I will remain here for a while."

Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, standing up, "Are you planning to continue confronting the experts of Ying Country? There’s no point in that."

Jiang Dali shook his head, "No! That’s not my intention! I’ve never been one to actively seek fights. It’s just that there are other matters requiring a longer stay. Don’t worry, I can leave whenever I want."

Dongfang Bubai and Murong Qingqing exchanged a knowing glance at Jiang Dali’s words of not being one to seek fights, brushing it aside as unheard. With his strength and personality, coupled with being able to leave anytime on the demon dragon, they indeed wouldn’t suffer a loss.

With that, the two also eased their minds, no longer questioning or persuading, adhering to the arrangement.

The three left the imposing body of Orochi within the tomb and exited together.

Jiang Dali had other plans for Orochi’s corpse.

Its flesh would be fed to the demon dragon, aiding in its growth and strength.

The tough scales were to be collected and brought back to the Divine Iron City, where skilled craftsmen would craft high-defense scale armor for the core members and leaders of the mountain village.

This Divine Beast’s scale, although having lost most of its power after death, remained exceptionally tough.

Casual Gang Qi Realm experts donning armor made from it could have survival power even against newly advanced Heavenly Human Realm experts.

For the players, who almost had no Heavenly Human Realm experts, it would absolutely be top-tier divine equipment.

Yet, for Jiang Dali himself, such items were trivial, at best making a decent robe that might not easily tear...
