Without exploring other potential uses of the dragon scale in his hand, Chen Yuan focused his mind entirely on the small line of characters etched on its back, his expression solemn.

‘Invert Yin and Yang, unite Dragon and Phoenix, the Way of Heaven and Earth, all things... should be divided by Yin and Yang...’

The characters on the back were few, but each phrase allowed Chen Yuan to savor and contemplate, leading to further insights. In an instant, he realized that the dual cultivation method in his hand was by no means simple.

He wondered which powerful figure had engraved it there, only for it to end up in his hands after many twists and turns.

But even though the cultivation method was good, Chen Yuan couldn’t practice it now. The phrases about inverting Yin and Yang and uniting Dragon and Phoenix sounded simple, but how easy was it to find a Dragon and a Phoenix?

It required simultaneously stimulating the energies of the Dragon and Phoenix in order to greatly increase one's cultivation and even be extremely useful for breaking through realms.

Chen Yuan couldn’t deny that he was envious, not because of the increase in cultivation. With the Extreme Yin Blood Evil and Profound Yang Divine Crystal in hand, Chen Yuan could easily increase his strength.

It was merely a matter of time.

But it was recorded that this cultivation method had miraculous effects when used for breaking through realms. And the biggest problem facing Chen Yuan right now was how to break through the Tongxuan Realm.

The Six Tongtian Realms were vastly different from each other, and their difficulty increased exponentially. Just like the Naqi Realm barrier, there were countless martial artists in the world, but how many could break through to Ninggang?

A Ninggang martial artist was enough to govern a county or even establish a small family, passing it down for hundreds of years.

Tongxuan experts were on a higher level than the Ninggang Realm. Each Tongxuan martial artist was powerful enough to dominate a prefecture and create a considerable force, holding a high position.

To say nothing of the fact that, as far as Chen Yuan knew, someone as exceptionally talented as Zhang Xuan had needed the help of a powerful figure to break through. And someone as ferocious as the Blood Demon Old Man had been stuck at this barrier for who knew how many years.

Moreover, every martial artist had a different way of breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm. The higher their talent, the higher the breakthrough they sought, and the greater the difficulty.

It wasn’t as simple as having talent and being able to sail smoothly through the realms.

The path of martial arts was about integrating oneself step by step, merging with the heavens and the earth...

Chen Yuan had learned from the Ghost Golden Boy that the Blood Demon Old Man had planned to use the five ghost children to break through. To be honest, Chen Yuan had been quite envious.

But unfortunately, the Blood Demon Old Man had kept the specific cultivation formulas hidden in his heart. With his death, no one knew them anymore...

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan had felt quite regretful, but there was no way to undo it. So Chen Yuan placed his hopes on himself,

Or rather, on the Destiny Altar.

And it had indeed provided him with a method that had a particularly high probability of success, but the threshold was extremely high, requiring the energies of the Dragon and Phoenix. But where could he find them…

Wait a minute.

He had no way of obtaining Dragon energy, but it seemed he could find Phoenix energy.

Shen Yanshu!

This woman possessed it, after all, she had the Phoenix Marrow Spirit Body!

Chen Yuan had coveted it before, but unfortunately, without a dual cultivation method, he couldn't seize it. But now he had a cultivation method in his hand, and it was a highly compatible one.

Indeed, the opportunities guided by the Destiny Altar seemed to be interconnected, related to his growth.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps there was some remnant Dragon energy within this dragon scale!

The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Dragon scale, dragon scale, how could it be called a dragon scale without Dragon energy?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart, brought the scale to his eyes, and covered it with his palm.

When he had obtained the Tai Xuan Sutra, the Destiny Altar in his mind had converted those tadpole-like characters by using Destiny. It didn’t seem impossible now.

Perhaps Chen Yuan's guess was correct. After he covered the scale for ten breaths, the Destiny Altar in his mind suddenly began to rotate, and a stream of azure Destiny drilled into the dragon scale along his arm.

The dragon scale didn't react yet, but Chen Yuan's attention shifted slightly, and he refocused his thoughts on the Destiny Altar.

To be honest, Chen Yuan had never mentioned it before, but he had been vaguely worried that some unspeakable big shot covered in red hair was using him as a tool to gather Destiny for them.

But as he was able to use this Destiny, Chen Yuan's worries gradually subsided.

If he were truly a tool, there was no way he would be allowed to use this so-called Destiny.

This could only prove one thing: he wasn’t some tool. This Destiny Altar was specifically for his use!

Before Chen Yuan could continue to think, suddenly, the dragon scale in Chen Yuan's hand changed under the infusion of Destiny, and a burning sensation came from the dragon scale.

Immediately afterward, Chen Yuan's ears twitched, and he heard a clear and distinct dragon roar!

"Roar!"

The violent dragon roar resounded in his ears, as if there was a real dragon around Chen Yuan.

In a daze, the burning dragon scale floated in the air, hovering in front of Chen Yuan's eyes. It seemed as if a tiny True Dragon had somersaulted and entered Chen Yuan's eyes.

And at that moment, in his eyes, it seemed to be the same scene as when he had comprehended the 'Wujian Kill Dao' from that stone before. Chen Yuan was pulled into an illusion.

Here, there was nothing else. The heaven and earth were empty. There was no sky above, no ground below. Chen Yuan stood in the center out of thin air. And in front of him was a haze of mist.

As if realizing something, Chen Yuan focused all his mind on the mist in front of him. A hint of black flashed from his eyes.

He quietly observed. It seemed to be a black dragon!

Dragons could be large or small, they could shrink and hide. At the slightest movement, wind and thunder accompanied them, and the void changed color.

As if becoming impatient with rolling around in the mist, the black dragon suddenly poked its head out and revealed its true form. Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes. The dragon in front of him seemed exactly like the one described in the books from his previous life.

Horns like a deer, ears like a cow, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a sea serpent, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger...

The black dragon seemed to be completely unable to see Chen Yuan, who was observing it in front of it. It rolled its body, and a dragon roar shook the sky. Its body moved with it, going straight into the heavens!

"This..."

Chen Yuan looked at this magnificent scene. For some reason, his heart was somewhat shaken. This picture was deeply imprinted in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he didn't recover for a long time.

The vague comprehension in his heart made Chen Yuan inexplicably excited. Immediately afterward, the entire world collapsed instantly. In the instant his mind returned, the dragon scale floating in front of him suddenly dropped to the ground.

But Chen Yuan didn't bend down to pick it up. Instead, he quietly closed his eyes, constantly recalling the scene of the dragon breaking through the heavens...

He didn't know how long had passed. Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing. Chen Yuan grabbed the dragon scale in his hand with one hand, and gently touched the handle of his saber with his left hand.

Immediately afterward, he quickly pushed open the door.

Yue Shan and Zhao Beishan were currently sharing the giant snake, drinking bowls of boiling snake blood, their blood and Qi expanding at a rapid rate.

After Chen Yuan examined them, he calmed his mind and told them to act according to their abilities. Anyway, this snake blood was enough for them to cultivate.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Chen Yuan's instructions, not daring to hide anything.

Yue Shan, Mo Donghe, Yan Qing, the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang, and the several ghost children under Chen Yuan's command all had a share, but they were allocated according to their contributions and strength.

The most went to Yue Shan and Zhao Beishan, followed by Mo Donghe and Li Dongshan, then Yan Qing and Yang Feng, and finally the Five Elements Ghost Children.

But they felt no dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they felt that following a master like Chen Yuan was much better than following the Blood Demon Old Man. At least he was willing to give them some soup when he had good things.

In the hands of the Blood Demon Old Man, they were just slaves to be used for his breakthrough.

It had to be said that although the Five Elements Ghost Children received the least snake blood, their gains were second only to Yue Shan and Zhao Beishan, two Naqi martial artists.

In particular, the newly refined Ghost Wood Child. A bowl of snake blood containing immense power saved him a lot of time.

But Chen Yuan didn't know this yet. After instructing them, Chen Yuan didn't stay long. Instead, he left the Chen Mansion at an extremely fast speed.

And he quickly concealed his figure and left the city gate, stopping only after he was several miles away. Chen Yuan looked at the calm Yunjiang River in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.

He had gained some insights in that illusion just now. Now that he had suppressed it for so long, that feeling not only hadn't faded, but had become even more agitated.

More than a hundred breaths of time passed. Chen Yuan felt that his accumulation of power had reached its peak. He grasped the handle of the Wild Goose Saber in his right hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly drew his saber.

In an instant, a dragon roar seemed to resound in the heavens and the earth, soaring straight into the sky.

A pale red saber light, tens of meters long, was unleashed by him towards the Yunjiang River, as if to cut everything in front of him open and destroy everything!

"Boom!!!"

The powerful and fierce attack directly split nearly half of the Yunjiang River surface in two, the water waves rising more than twenty meters high, with some fish and shrimp mixed in.

Exhaling a long breath, Chen Yuan looked at the mess he had created. Although there wasn't much expression on his face, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

This saber strike was no less powerful than the 'Wujian Kill Dao'!

It was even more powerful in terms of explosiveness. After all, the Wujian Kill Dao couldn't be simply regarded as a saber technique, but as a state of mind of killing.

But the saber technique he had just demonstrated was very pure.

Moreover, most importantly, this saber technique was the most suitable saber technique he had created based on his own insights!

Self-created saber technique!

This was what made Chen Yuan the most delighted.

There were thousands of saber techniques in the world, including top-notch peerless saber techniques. But Chen Yuan deeply understood that only the saber technique he created himself was the most suitable for him.

Whether it was a saber technique or a cultivation method, the same was true!

If the predecessors could create saber techniques, so could he, Chen Yuan. It could be said that this opportunity was no less than any previous one, because the meaning was completely different. Moreover, Chen Yuan had also obtained an ancient dual cultivation method.
