Chapter 550 Three Creates All Things (4000 words)_2
"Dao begets one, one creates two, two creates three, three creates all things."
One represents the beginning of all things, two represents the Chaos Yin Yang Two Qi, and three refers to the third party produced by the conflict between Yin and Yang, thus evolving into all things!
Therefore, "three creates all things" means that Yin and Yang Two Qi can give birth to countless Dao embryos.
Xiang Beifei only has two Orifice Perceptions of Yin and Yang, black and white, yet he can control all systems, because any system is a branch derived from the evolution of Yin and Yang Two Qi.
The so-called great way is simple, leading to the same destination by different paths.
No matter what the system is, in summary, they are all products of the differentiation of Yin and Yang Two Qi; all things bear Yin and embrace Yang. His grandfather told him to comprehend the way of black and white, while Daoist Qingyang told him that he is the Dao. What both of them mean is actually exactly the same.
----
Various systems flashed through Xiang Beifei's mind: N-ranked confiscation system, R-ranked Master Dao System, S-ranked Confucian Saint System, SR-ranked Supremacy of Ten Thousand Swords system, SSR-ranked Shadow Saint System, UR-ranked Ten Thousand Commands System...
He operated his Chaos Yin-Yang Formula inside his body, maintaining a delicate balance between the black and white Spiritual Power. After a moment, he focused his attention ahead, where the black and white Spiritual Power converged into a vortex.
Hum!
A system interface manifested:
[Dao Master: Xiang Beifei]
[Dao Level, Plant System]
[Realm: Advanced Stage of Orifice Transforming]
...
Xiang Beifei looked down and saw Youmong, which always hid in his pocket. Whenever he cultivated, Youmong would secretly devour the Spiritual Power that leaked from him. Today, Youmong was no exception and smiled sheepishly when it saw that Xiang Beifei had caught it in the act.
[You have cultivated a Youmong, plant value: three]
The system interface displayed these characters.
Recently, Youmong had grown quite robust. However, with Erha's help, it still preferred to keep its body small for convenience of movement.
Xiang Beifei stroked Youmong's head, pondered for a bit, then the black and white Spiritual Power spun again, and the system interface changed—
[Dao Master: Xiang Beifei]
[Dao Level, Supremacy of Ten Thousand Swords System]
[Realm: Advanced Stage of Orifice Transforming]
...
Xiang Beifei reached out and drew from the air, causing ripples, and the Wufeng broken sword was pulled out by him!
Hum!
The two Sword Qi, black and white, encircled Wufeng, harmonious and gentle.
Xiang Beifei waved the sword in his hand!
The Yin and Yang Qi suddenly split at high speed, shooting in different directions—
Boom!
Two deep ravine sword marks appeared in the desert, each a thousand zhang deep!
[You executed Wufeng broken sword, sword Qi value: three]
"What a sword!"
Xiang Beifei caressed the sword, then looked down at the two sword marks he had split, after contemplating for a moment, the black and white Spiritual Power swept out again—
[Dao Master: Xiang Beifei]
[Dao Level, Sand Control System]
[Realm: Advanced Stage of Orifice Transforming]
...
He gave a gentle wave of his hand, and the sand in the desert began to rustle; a sandstorm seemed to blow in the sky. These sandstorms quickly converged together and burrowed into the two sword ravines, and in just a moment, the thousand-zhang deep sword ravines were completely filled, making them appear seamless with the surroundings.
Xiang Beifei smiled faintly, and the black and white Spiritual Power started spinning again. Then his system interface changed once more:
[Dao Master: Xiang Beifei]
[Dao Level, Leisure System]
[Realm: Advanced Stage of Orifice Transforming]
...
Xiang Beifei comfortably stretched out on a stone strip atop the stone bell, placing his hands behind his head and laying his right foot over his left knee. Looking at the two moons in the sky, he casually said, "One moon, two moons."
[You counted two moons, leisure value: three]
At the same time, he suddenly felt a qualitative change in his Spiritual Power, as if every sense in his body had been forcefully upgraded a notch, and the system interface in front of him changed yet again:
[Dao Master: Xiang Beifei]
[Dao Level, Leisure System]
[Realm: Early Stage of Heavenly Connection]
...
"I can finally see my realm!"
Xiang Beifei couldn't help feeling emotional.
In the past, every time he advanced to a new realm, he never knew how to ascertain his cultivation level, always having to ask someone else to confirm it, or having to fight his teacher, Ye Changfeng.
Now, relying on the black and white spiritual power, he had simulated a system interface and could finally determine his own realm.
Tears in his eyes.
Xiang Beifei yawned.
[You yawned, leisure value: three]
The Leisure System is really great, and it's the one Xiang Beifei is most familiar with and his favorite.
He always thought this system was incredible, and except for the downside of the system having too few items to showcase, it was basically not weaker than a UR level, especially its powerful ability to reset points was almost unmatched.
Xiang Beifei decided to stay with this system for the time being.
After all, Elder Luo, the big idler, grew stronger in everything he did, and he wanted to experience that feeling too.
——
System values are like a person's understanding of the Heavenly Dao; completing system tasks is akin to comprehending Heavenly Dao Laws.
But Xiang Beifei was different. As a Taoist Body, he was very special; he couldn't quantify his cultivation like other System Awakeners.
No matter how much Xiang Beifei's cultivation improved, his system value was always: three.
Because "three" in the Dao represents infinity.
Of course, this didn't prevent him from growing stronger. He used to be a person without a system, and now he had simply simulated a system for fun, not needing to condense back into black and white spiritual power directly.
Xiang Beifei could simulate any system he had intervened with his black and white spiritual power, and during his years in Jiuzhou, he had participated in almost all systems.
For many people who set him as the target of their tasks, the system would come under his control. It could be said that by understanding the "Dao," he had acquired the abilities of all Dao Embryo Systems!
However, the essence remained the same; no matter what ability Xiang Beifei used, he still relied on his black and white spiritual power!
That was the key.
But then, Xiang Beifei remembered something else.
"What's the deal with Grandpa's snowflake interface?"
Xiang Beifei had always been curious about his grandfather's system interface; in Jiuzhou, where everyone had a system, apart from him, it was only Grandpa who had a white screen.
He could only guess the reasons, as Grandpa had connected with the Heavenly Dao and reached the late stage of Heavenly Connection during his time in Hanxia, meaning he didn't need to rely on the system anymore in Jiuzhou; the system was useless to him.
Or maybe, while adapting the Dao embryo, Grandpa turned himself into the first test subject and the adaptation failed?
Or was there another reason?
Xiang Beifei thought about his grandfather's memory loss.
This puzzled Xiang Beifei greatly.
After Grandpa led the Human Race to migrate to Jiuzhou, his cultivation broke through the Heavenly Connection realm and reached the Immortal Realm. His strength was already very powerful. According to his own account, the last time the Eternal Night Demon King tracked him down to Jiuzhou, preparing to invade, he intercepted and even severely injured the Eternal Night Demon King!
But why did he suddenly lose his memory afterward?
Was this memory loss related to his Dao embryo?
Thinking of the broken "Wufeng" stone sword, as well as the "Edge Corner Airspace" mentioned by Ye Ji and Ri An, he always felt the answer to this matter lay in the Edge Corner Airspace!
Perhaps his parents also went to Edge Corner Airspace!
Most importantly, Daoist Qingyang had mentioned that all Dao embryos came from Edge Corner Airspace!
This was something Xiang Beifei needed to confirm next.
"Oh right, there's also burning Yang and burning Yin."
Xiang Beifei recalled these two cultivation techniques taught by Daoist Qingyang. Daoist Qingyang's wrath that burnt the heavens remained deeply impressive to Xiang Beifei; the Eternal Night Demon King and the Demon Tentacle King, equals in realm, were no match for Daoist Qingyang's burning Yang!
All things in the world are transformed from Yin Yang Two Qi, including people, desolate beasts, plants, rocks, flowing water...
Burning Yang is to burn the yang essence of a place.
As long as one can clearly perceive Yin and Yang qi, even the yang essence in the river water can be ignited!
If something was originally in a state of balance, but after burning Yang, the yang essence is burnt to Xuwang, leaving behind only yin essence, then Yin and Yang fall out of balance, and death is almost certain!
Burning Yin is to scorch the yin essence of a place.
This has a clever counterpart to burning Yang!
