After the departure of the three Celestial Venerables of Divinity Transformation from the Human Race, the atmosphere within the Golden Roc Hall gradually cald down.
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable was also reflecting on sothing. After a mont, his figure appeared in the Golden Feather Hall, and he telepathically called outside the hall:
"Peng Huan, co in."
The door slowly opened, and Chen Sheng appeared at the entrance. Upon seeing the Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s summons, he quickly entered the hall, bowed, and paid his respects:
"Great Ancestor, you summoned ?"
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable turned around, his gaze falling on Chen Sheng, eyes full of expectation.
He waved his hand, and a gentle golden light erged from his palm, condensing into a palm-sized jade gate in the air.
The entire jade gate was interwoven with black and white energies. On the lintel, a carved Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings, and complex Yin Yang Runes were engraved on both sides of the gate. As the runes flickered, one could vaguely see void fluctuations within the gate, as if it connected to another world.
"This is the gateway of the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven of our Golden-Winged Roc Race."
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable handed the jade gate to Chen Sheng. The gate felt cool to the touch, yet one could clearly feel the imnse Yin-Yang Power contained within:
"Since you have ascended to the Demon Emperor and inherited the title of ’Great Peng Emperor,’ it is ti to delve into deeper lineage inheritance."
Chen Sheng received the jade gate with both hands, imdiately realizing that the Great Wilderness Demon Court not only controlled the Northern Great Wilderness Domain but also had three great grotto heavens as its foundation: the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven, the Five Elents Grotto Heaven, and the Myriad Beasts Grotto Heaven.
Among them, the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven is a generational inheritance of the Golden-Winged Roc Race. Inside, not only is there dense Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi, but also a unique Yin Yang Void Transformation.
Many collateral and even direct descendants of the lineage thrive within the grotto heaven. Mastering this gateway ans gaining control over the foundation of the Golden-Winged Roc Race.
"Great Ancestor, I understand the origins of the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven."
Clutching the jade gate, Chen Sheng’s eyes were filled with solemnity: "I am newly ascended to the throne. I am uncertain if I can shoulder the responsibility of managing the clan mbers within the grotto heaven?"
"You can bear it."
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable spoke in a firm tone, patting his shoulder:
"You were born with a Half-Saint Bloodline and have cultivated the power of the Five Elents and Yin Yang. Your understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao Rhy surpasses the clan mbers, enough to earn the respect of the clan elders."
He paused, then continued:
"Having achieved the Demon Emperor Realm, you must now undertake two tasks."
"First, comprehend the Void Power—the Yin Yang Void Transformation within the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven is unparalleled. The ’Void Rift’ inside changes with the flow of the Yin Yang Qi, which is perfect for you to comprehend the Void Power."
"Second, manage the clan mbers within the grotto heaven—there are five clan elders within, all seasoned Demon Emperors. You should heed their advice, which will not only familiarize you with clan governance but also allow you to acquire many cultivation experiences from them."
Chen Sheng nodded, understanding the Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s painstaking intentions.
It wasn’t solely for his cultivation but also paving a path for him to gradually grasp the real power of the Golden-Winged Roc Race, and subsequently...
Clutching the jade gate, he bowed again, his voice steady and powerful:
"I understand, Great Ancestor! I will not fail your expectations!"
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable nodded, a relieved smile appearing in his eyes:
"The jade gate contains the restrictions refined by our lineage over generations. You only need to infuse a trace of Divine Soul Power to open the pathway to the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven."
"Go ahead, the clan elders within are awaiting you."
Chen Sheng responded, gathering a wisp of Divine Soul Power and slowly infusing it into the Yin Yang Jade Gate.
As the Divine Soul Power flowed in, the jade gate suddenly burst into dazzling black and white light. The door slowly opened, revealing dense Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi intermixed with faint Void Energies.
He could clearly sense a vast space beyond the door.
"This descendant takes leave!"
Chen Sheng paid his respects to the Golden Feather Demon Venerable once more before turning to step into the jade gate.
The door behind him slowly closed, transforming into a stream of light, rging into his forehead—henceforth, this Yin Yang Jade Gate beca his bridge to the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven, allowing him to enter and exit at will with a single thought.
As he passed through the jade gate, Chen Sheng found himself in a strange world—this was the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven.
The sky was a tapestry of interwoven black and white clouds, from which occasionally dripped rain ford by Yin and Yang Qi. Once hitting the ground, the raindrops transford into small Spiritual Energy Vortexes.
On the ground grew many exotic plants, so entirely black, exuding a chilling aura, while others were completely white, emitting a radiant yang energy.
In the distance, palaces ford by Yin and Yang Qi could be seen, bustling with clan mbers coming and going.
They wore black robes similar to Chen Sheng’s, though the Golden Roc totems on their cuffs were noticeably smaller, indicating they were collateral clan mbers of the Golden-Winged Roc Race.
"Greetings, Great Peng Emperor!"
Five elders in golden robes approached quickly. Though their hair was gray, they exuded vigor, emanating the authority of Tier Four Demon Emperors. They bowed in unison before Chen Sheng.
All of them were at mid-stage Nascent Soul level. From one of them, Chen Sheng faintly sensed the embryonic form of a Void Domain, suggesting that they were not far from late-stage Nascent Soul.
The lead elder spoke with a resonant voice:
"We have received the Venerable Master’s ssage and welco you, Great Peng Emperor, to the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven!"
Chen Sheng quickly helped the five clan elders up, speaking warmly:
"There’s no need for formalities, esteed elders. I shall rely on you for governance and guidance within the grotto heaven."
"Your kindness, Great Peng Emperor!"
The five clan elders stood up, smiles on their faces. Clearly, they preferred Chen Sheng’s type of ruler over a hot-headed monarch.
Under their guidance, Chen Sheng first inspected the settlent areas of the clan mbers within the Grotto Heaven.
Though most of these clan mbers were from the side branches, they still lived up to being a part of the Golden-Winged Roc Race, as each of them possessed impressive cultivation. There were quite a few Tier Three Demon Kings, with even so nearing the threshold of the Demon Emperor Realm.
Afterward, the clan elders brought him to the "Yin Yang Void Platform" at the center of the Grotto Heaven.
This was a stone platform suspended in mid-air, its surface covered in Yin Yang Runes, with a small Void Rift at its center from which black and white Qi intermittently flowed out—a perfect place for comprehending the Void Power.
In the days that followed, Chen Sheng settled down in the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven.
Periodically, assisted by the clan elders, he handled Grotto Heaven affairs—resolving clan disputes, distributing cultivation resources, and guiding the younger clan mbers in their practice.
During his other tis, he would go to the Yin Yang Void Platform, sit cross-legged, and comprehend the Yin Yang Void Transformations within the rift.
His control over the Void Power already had a foundation; in this life, there was no need to re-explore, only to gradually manifest it.
More often, he focused his efforts on the enhancent of mana and the comprehension of the Yin Yang Dao Rhy.
By employing the inherited cultivation technique of the Golden-Winged Roc Race, he absorbed the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi within the Grotto Heaven, with the growth of his Demon Power visible to the naked eye.
At the sa ti, he would take out the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" and verify the Yin Yang Dao Principle within the diagram with the Void Transformation in the Grotto Heaven, deepening his understanding of the Yin Yang Balance.
...
In the third year of Chen Sheng’s stay at the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven, it coincided with the "New Moon and Full Moon Period" when the Yin Yang Qi within the Grotto Heaven converged.
On this day, the black and white cloud layers in the Grotto Heaven were particularly dense, with the Yin Yang raindrops in the air transforming into fine light threads, weaving a gigantic net of light between heaven and earth, enveloping the entire Grotto Heaven in a faint Yin Yang Dao Rhy.
As usual, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the Yin Yang Void Platform, with the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" floating above him. The black and white Qi within the diagram resonated with the Yin Yang Power of the Grotto Heaven, flowing slowly.
He slightly closed his eyes, his divine sense sinking inward, employing the Golden-Winged Roc inherited cultivation technique to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, while focusing his heart spirit on the transformations of the Void Rift.
The black and white Qi alternately surged within the rift, expanding and contracting at tis, with the Void rules contained within continually reorganizing as the Yin Yang Qi changed.
"Yin and Yang give birth to the void, the void nurtures Yin and Yang..."
Chen Sheng silently contemplated, and at that mont, his past life’s control over Void Power and his present understanding of the Yin Yang Dao Rhy began to deeply rge.
He tried to use the Yin Yang Qi to guide the oscillations of the Void Rift, gathering a wisp of pale golden spiritual power at his fingertips, lightly pointing toward the edge of the rift.
In the instant the spiritual power touched the rift, a sudden change occurred!
Around Chen Sheng, a strong Yin Yang light suddenly erupted, with black Yin Qi and white Yang Qi surging from within him like a tide, rapidly rotating behind him to form a massive Tai Chi pattern.
The Yin fish and Yang fish of the Tai Chi pattern were vividly detailed, with a golden light spot in the fish eye that glead brightly, echoing with the light spot of the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" above his head, forming a beam of Yin Yang light that connected heaven and earth.
As the Tai Chi pattern rotated, the once fluctuating Void Rift began to slowly stabilize!
The chaotic Void turbulence at the rift’s edge was cald by the Yin Yang Power of the Tai Chi pattern, and the originally disordered void began to exhibit an orderly transformation under the arrangent of the Yin Yang Qi.
Chen Sheng extended his right hand, gently grasping toward the rift, pulling out a pure stream of Void energy, which transford into a silvery light stream, entering his body through his palm.
"Suppress the void... absorb the Void energy, didn’t the Grand Roc Emperor just make a breakthrough?"
Not far away on the Observatory, five clan elders who were idly chatting about Grotto Heaven affairs instantly froze in place at this scene, their eyes filled with shock.
The leading elder, Peng Shan, suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the scene atop the Yin Yang Void Platform, his voice trembling with disbelief:
"In just a few years, such mastery of Void control and Yin Yang understanding, even the Venerable Master wasn’t this dazzling!"
The elder Peng Hai beside him nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with excitent:
"Prince Peng Huan’s control over the Void Power has steadily entered the second stage; once his mana reaches perfection, he will be able to break through, this kind of perception is simply incredible!"
The other three elders also eagerly stepped forward, their eyes full of amazent and reverence.
Elder Peng Feng stroked his graying beard, marveling:
"No wonder the Venerable Master passed the title of Grand Roc Emperor to him, and entrusted him with the managent of the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven—such talent, such perception, is truly a rare genius in our Golden-Winged Roc Race in millennia!"
Elder Peng Lei pointed to the Tai Chi pattern behind Chen Sheng, his voice full of admiration:
"Look at that Tai Chi pattern, the Yin Yang Qi moves freely, perfectly integrated with the Void Rift, clearly having fully rged the Yin Yang Dao Rhy with the Void Power!"
Elder Peng Huo watched Chen Sheng’s steady deanor while absorbing the Void Energy, a pleased smile appearing in his eyes:
"Even more comndable is that although young, the Grand Roc Emperor has a calm deanor. With him here, not only can the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven flourish, but the entire Golden-Winged Roc Race, even the Great Wilderness Demon Court, has the hope of reaching greater heights in the future!"
The more the five clan elders spoke, the more excited they beca, with any concerns about Chen Sheng’s "youthful rule" completely dispelled.
They gazed at the figure on the Yin Yang Void Platform, shrouded in the Yin Yang Tai Chi, as if seeing the bright future of the Golden-Winged Roc Race.
At this ti, Chen Sheng had not yet noticed the elders’ reactions.
He was imrsed in the marvel of the fusion of Yin Yang and the void, feeling the blend of his internal spiritual power with the Void Energy, deepening his understanding of the Yin Yang Dao Rhy.
When the last wisp of Void Energy was absorbed, he slowly opened his eyes, with the Tai Chi pattern behind him and the "Yin Yang Qi Diagram" above him retracting simultaneously, transforming into streams of light that rged into his body.
"Grand Roc Emperor!"
The five clan elders quickly stepped forward, bowing to Chen Sheng, their eyes more reverent than ever before:
"Your insights today have truly opened the eyes of us old ministers!"
Chen Sheng smiled as he helped everyone up, his tone gentle:
"You flatter , clan elders; I was rely fortunate to fuse the Yin Yang and Void Power together. In the future, I still need to seek your guidance often, to manage the Yin Yang Grotto Heaven well together."
