As the information gradually flowed into his mind, everything around Li Xuan faded into a white light and disappeared.
By the time the scene stabilized, Li Xuan had already appeared outside the secret chamber.
"Fifth brother, how was it?" Sensing Li Xuan's appearance, Luo Kang also opened his eyes and looked at Li Xuan, asking.
Li Xuan heard this and immediately looked at Luo Kang, then smiled slightly, bowed to Luo Kang, and said, "Greetings, Master. Disciple, I have not failed in my mission."
"Succe... Success?!" Upon hearing this, Luo Kang's face, which had held no hope, suddenly showed a look of shock.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then slowly raised his left hand, and a strange power instantly rose from his palm. With the emergence of this power, the surrounding spiritual energy was instantly divided into two, clearly distinct.
Under Li Xuan's control, they even swam against each other like two fish.
"As expected, it is the Way of Yin and Yang. Fifth brother, how did you achieve this?" Looking at everything before him, Luo Kang's expression trembled slightly, unable to contain himself. He then looked at Li Xuan and asked with a hint of excitement.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then recounted everything he had encountered in the secret chamber when facing the vast expanse of stars.
"So, fifth brother, you comprehended the Way of Yin and Yang through the interplay of life and death. Not bad, fifth brother, although the Way of Yin and Yang is divided into five levels, they all belong to the same Way of Yin and Yang, so there is no distinction between higher and lower."
"Moreover, within the Way of Yin and Yang, comprehending one level allows one to comprehend the other four. As long as there is enough time, mastering all five aspects of Yin and Yang will allow one to control the complete Way of Yin and Yang throughout the entire body."
After listening to Li Xuan's account, Luo Kang's emotions gradually calmed down.
"This aura... could it be that a disciple has comprehended the Way of Yin and Yang?" At this moment, in the main peak of the Azure Hall, An Batian, sensing something as Li Xuan wielded the power of Yin and Yang, looked up towards the seventh peak.
However, with the function of the Seven Treasures Hall, the aura instantly vanished. An Batian frowned slightly at this, then his figure flickered and disappeared.
"Fifth Martial Brother, why did you take so long?" In the disciple's pavilion, as Li Xuan appeared, Su Yueze and the others who were discussing matters immediately stopped and looked at Li Xuan, asking.
"A long time?" Li Xuan asked with a hint of surprise.
Song Wuwen let out a wry smile and said, "You were gone for ten full days. Do you consider that not a long time?"
Li Xuan scratched his head and said, "It's been ten days? Well, Senior Martial Brother, have you all been waiting here for me?"
Su Yueze shook his head and said, "There are many affairs in our seventh peak. After you left, we waited for a while. Later, seeing that you still hadn't returned, we each went about our own business. Today, we happened to be discussing matters concerning our lineage, so we waited for you."
"Senior Martial Brother, judging by your expressions, has something happened to our lineage?" Li Xuan nodded and looked at Su Yueze, asking.
Su Yueze immediately looked at Chai Jingyuan and the others, each with an embarrassed look on their faces. Seeing this, Li Xuan became even more curious.
"Well, Fifth Martial Brother, let me tell you," seeing that Su Yueze and the others seemed reluctant to mention it, Song Wuwen let out a wry smile and said to Li Xuan.
"Ah? So, have we already lost a round?" After hearing Song Wuwen's explanation, Li Xuan was taken aback.
It turned out that while Li Xuan was looking for Luo Kang in the Seven Treasures Hall, the other branches of the seventh peak had contacted each other and eventually found Senior Martial Brother Su Yueze. The reason was the disciple ranking system established by their Master Luo Kang for the seventh peak.
Li Xuan had heard his Master Luo Kang mention this. All disciples of the seventh peak were divided into three levels. The first level was Blue Belt disciples, the second was Black Belt disciples, and the third, the Purple Belt disciples, held the highest status and position.
Among them, those above the True Self realm were the third level, the Purple Belt disciples, holding the highest status among the disciples of the seventh peak. Disciples in the Void Self and True Self realms were Black Belt disciples. As for disciples below the Void Self realm, they were all Blue Belt disciples.
Of course, dividing them solely by apparent strength was naturally unfair. Some disciples had naturally strong talents; even if their cultivation level had not reached a certain point, their strength was not to be underestimated, even far exceeding their current limits, just like Li Xuan.
Thus, there were naturally points of contention between the seven branches of the seventh peak.
Coincidentally, Luo Kang had announced that anyone dissatisfied could directly issue a challenge. Even elders, if challenged, had to accept. If the challenge was successful, regardless of one's own strength, one could be promoted in rank. If one failed, they would not be allowed to challenge again for a year.
For a time, challenges between the various branches became intense and lively.
For some reason, except for the fifth peak, disciples from other peaks issued challenges to Su Yueze's lineage disciples particularly frequently. Within these ten days, no less than thirty people from Su Yueze's lineage had been defeated and demoted to the lowest rank, Blue Belt disciples.
As a result, Su Yueze and the others naturally lost face. That was why they were so embarrassed when Li Xuan inquired.
"There is one more thing that I'm afraid I must tell Fifth Martial Brother," Su Yueze nodded and said to Li Xuan.
"Could it be that someone else is challenging me?" Li Xuan became curious again. After all, judging by Su Yueze's expression, there seemed to be a hint of helplessness.
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Su Yueze and the others nodded in unison: "Fifth Martial Brother, someone has indeed challenged you. And this person's strength is not inferior to yours."
Li Xuan suddenly laughed, then his expression gradually calmed down. "Since that's the case, then let them see the strength of our lineage. I hope the guy challenging me won't disappoint me."
