Chapter 911: Cloud and Rain Reverse Yin and Yang

Senior Sister Zhao was right.

The *Nì Lún Jīng* (Scripture of Inverse Principles) was indeed an extraordinarily unique cultivation method.

The scripture held that the operation of heaven and earth followed established rules, and the continued functioning of these rules required a powerful driving force. While cultivating in accordance with the Heavenly Dao could certainly lead to a supreme realm, reversing these rules could also offer a glimpse into the realm of true immortals.

The principles of heaven and earth were vast! How could mere human effort achieve this?

Males were Yang, and females were Yin. If one, as a male, cultivated a pure Yin body, they could take the first step towards reversing the principles of heaven and earth! Using this as a starting point, one could continuously leverage the rules and order of the cosmos, turning them into resources for their own sublimation!

Li Qing was captivated, completely absorbed by the scripture's description of a state where, in the later stages of cultivating the *Nì Lún Jīng*, one could effortlessly alter heaven and earth.

Seeing his engrossed state, Senior Sister Zhao did not disturb him. She quietly gazed at Li Qing's profile, her expression distant.

Only when Li Qing finally came back to his senses did Zhao Ruoxi hand him a storage ring, saying, "For the next period, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Although they were just outer sect disciples, my indiscriminate killing did violate the sect rules. Punishment is unavoidable." Noticing the worry in Li Qing's eyes, Senior Sister Zhao reassured him, "It's nothing serious, just a ten-year seclusion. This is a good opportunity for me to diligently cultivate. When I emerge, I will surely kill Qin Shou for you and avenge your grievances!"

"During this time, you must not give up on yourself. This *Nì Lún Jīng* has a mysterious origin. Even my master has never heard of this cultivation method being in the Secret Pavilion; it's as if it appeared out of thin air. Cultivate diligently. In the future, your cultivation realm might even surpass mine."

After their parting today, they would not see each other for ten years. Zhao Ruoxi was reluctant to leave, as if she had endless things to say.

As night deepened, by the flickering candlelight, Zhao Ruoxi and Li Qing's fingers intertwined, their eyes locked.

Zhao Ruoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at Li Qing's flawless, fair skin and soft, rosy lips. A heat stirred within her.

A different kind of emotion spread silently. Zhao Ruoxi gripped Li Qing's hand tightly and gently kissed him.

Li Qing felt as if struck by lightning and instinctively tried to push Zhao Ruoxi away. As if sensing his thoughts, Zhao Ruoxi did not let go; instead, she firmly embraced Li Qing.

"It's alright...""I truly don't mind...""No matter what you become, as long as it's you, that's all that matters," Zhao Ruoxi whispered. As if to show her sincerity, she guided Li Qing's hand to her chest.

Feeling her heartbeat and seeing Senior Sister Zhao's affectionate gaze, Li Qing finally stopped struggling.

Senior Sister Zhao flicked her finger, extinguishing the candlelight and simultaneously setting up a barrier around them to prevent outsiders from intruding. Embracing Li Qing, they moved to the bed. What transpired that night needs no further elaboration.

The next day, when Li Qing awoke, Zhao Ruoxi had already departed. Only a faint lingering fragrance in the air proved that the events of the previous night were not a dream.

"So, one can still experience intimacy even without *that* down there," Li Qing thought, somewhat dazed.

However, his attention quickly shifted from those intimate scenes. He turned instead to observe the *Nì Lún Jīng*, which he had unexpectedly initiated.

After a long while, Li Qing came to a realization: "Perhaps because of yesterday's actions, I completed the initial transformation from Yang to Yin. Thus, the *Nì Lún Jīng* also took its first step. And I instantly broke through from the middle stage of Qi Condensation to the late stage. Such rapid progress..." Li Qing's eyes flickered, lost in thought.

"Qin Shou..." A figure suddenly appeared in Li Qing's mind. "My revenge, I will exact it myself! You'd better not die before my divine power is perfected. Heh heh heh..." Li Qing's low laughter echoed in the room.

Subsequently, in the eyes of the outer sect disciples, a drastic change seemed to occur in Li Qing.

His personality drastically changed; his interactions with male outer sect disciples diminished, while his relationships with female cultivators grew closer and more intimate.

Li Qing's appearance was already exceptionally handsome, making it difficult for others to harbor suspicion. Moreover, the female disciples all knew about his unfortunate incident—that he had been deprived of his "tool for mischief"—so they had even less reason to be wary. Instead, they felt pity and often looked after Li Qing. As a result, they became increasingly familiar with each other.

Later, Li Qing even moved directly into the courtyard where the female cultivators resided, taking turns to share a bed with them. During this process, Li Qing's physique, appearance, and even voice became increasingly feminine. Whenever his graceful figure walked through the sect's entrance, it would attract the gaze of countless male cultivators. Even knowing he was male, they couldn't help but be drawn by their natural yearning for beauty. Li Qing, however, remained cold and aloof towards these male cultivators, showing them no warmth.

Thus, a year passed.

Deep within a secluded cave in the outer sect mountains. "This place has the most abundant Yin energy among the outer sect mountains. It's perfect to aid my breakthrough today."

Li Qing sat naked on a piece of black jade on the ground. The spiritual energy within him, like millennia-old ice, slowly circulated, freezing layers of white frost in the already exceptionally cold environment around him. Even Li Qing himself had not imagined that cultivating this *Nì Lún Jīng* would be so smooth. It was as if this cultivation method was tailor-made for him; in just one year, he broke through from the late stage of Qi Condensation to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Today, he even intended to leverage the geographical advantage to directly impact the Golden Core realm!

He had never even dared to dream of such a cultivation speed before! It even made him feel a faint sense of fear. He had kept his true cultivation level hidden during this period, fearing investigation by the Grand Dao Sect. Of course, the outer sect female cultivators also contributed to this smooth progress. In this year, Li Qing had absorbed the Yin energy from all the female disciples who possessed some beauty. Moreover, thanks to the *Nì Lún Jīng*, these female cultivators remained utterly devoted and deeply grateful to him. Not only did they strive to please him in bed, but they even offered all their accumulated savings to Li Qing. With the wholehearted assistance of the outer sect female cultivators, Li Qing lived a much more prosperous life than before. He lacked nothing, neither spirit stones nor pills. The combination of these various factors led to his incredibly rapid progress.

At this moment, only a trace of Yang energy remained within Li Qing's body. As long as he converted it into Yin energy, he would completely achieve the transformation from a male body to a pure Yin body. The *Nì Lún Jīng* would also be considered a preliminary success.

Concentrating, Li Qing absorbed the rolling Yin energy from the black jade beneath him and from deep within the mountain cave. He quietly circulated the *Nì Lún Jīng*, and past scenes flashed one by one through his mind.

"After today, I will bid farewell to the past completely. My destiny is mine, not heaven's!"
