Chapter 111 Breakthrough! The Six Swords of Hongmeng
Did Taiichi die? No.
However, because Sakura Dragon and Ren fought a great battle in his consciousness space, a part of Ren's primordial spirit and a trace of Sakura Dragon's primordial spirit exploded together, causing Taiyi's consciousness space to shatter.
This shattering wasn't just in one place; it shattered the upper dantian, the middle dantian, and the jade pillow all at once!
Humans have nine orifices, the three dantian (upper, middle, and lower), the coccyx gate, the spine gate, the jade pillow gate, the yin orifice, the yang orifice, and the central palace orifice.
The upper dantian is located between the eyebrows, while the inner elixir condensed by Taiyi is located in the central palace. At the same time, the jade pillow at the back of the head is located in a straight line with the two acupoints.
The nine orifices do not exist in the real world; they are a mysterious dimensional world within the human body.
The consequence of Taiyi's three orifices being shattered is that the essence in the Jade Pillow orifice, the qi and blood in the middle palace, and the spirit in the upper dantian are all freed from their restraints and merged into one in a hazy gray space.
In the past, Taiyi could refine the three elements of water, fire, and metal to extract a trace of innate energy and send it into the nine orifices.
This is why his essence, blood, and spiritual power can increase.
"I am dead?"
Unable to perceive his own body, as if he had lost his five senses, Taiyi still possessed the ability to think. Not through "seeing," but through the touch of his consciousness, he could understand that he was in a hazy, gray space.
"No, if I die, it's impossible for me to still be conscious."
Once the soul dissipates, it dissipates completely; it cannot generate anything, including thoughts.
Where am I then?
Taiyi wanted to define his current state and where he was, but suddenly found that he couldn't think of any words to describe the moment.
Boundless and endless, without top or bottom, without beginning or end, without truth or falsehood, without form or appearance...
Everything is nonexistent, yet everything seems to exist.
"This... I won't be here forever, in..."
It was in this undefinable state that Taiyi suddenly felt that his originally unified spirit and energy were beginning to disperse.
"Am I going to disappear completely? Why am I neither afraid nor sad...?"
"I... I've become Doma?"
Okay, even thinking like that, I still don't feel happy, which really puts Taiyi at a loss.
But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a power flowing into the space he was in.
Outside, Lian was sending the product of the yin-yang union into Taiyi's body, while also increasing her own flower energy.
"Restore yourselves, humans, become celestial beings, become our kind, and then go together to the Japanese pirate country to devour that dragon. Then you and I can ascend to heaven."
Lian lowered her head and looked at Taiyi, whose head was now half-obscured from his nose upwards.
As he channeled his energy, countless vines sprouted from the remaining broken ends, gradually coalescing into a complete head, which then uttered another sentence:
"wake up!!!"
But what she didn't notice was that at this moment, Taiyi was undergoing an unexpected change while using the energy of flowers to shape his body and the energy of yin and yang to shape his soul.
In the hazy space, Taiyi seemed to suddenly regain his five senses, and then witnessed a scene that he would never forget.
These undefined things suddenly began to have the definition of "form", then the definition of "budding", then the definition of "initial", the definition of "having quality", and the definition of "qi".
At this moment, Taiyi seemed to have a premonition and suddenly understood that this was the innate "Five Tai".
But that wasn't all. He felt as if he had merged with the space, and a mysterious feeling filled his heart.
The scattered vital energy reunited, resembling a fertilized egg or a living ovum.
"Before the Qi (vital energy) takes form, it forms an embryo resembling an egg; when the Qi becomes perfectly round, it is called... Taiyi (the Great One)!!!"
Click!
A beam of light seemed to appear, and the entire space began to shake violently, as if something was about to happen.
Taiyi wanted to gain more insights, but his consciousness was instantly pulled back to his body.
As he lay on the beach, he opened his eyes and received a system message in his mind.
【Ding! 】
[Gain Wood Attribute True Qi]
"System, add points, fuse." Taiyi remained lying down, not getting up, letting Lian stand beside him, and simply said this.
Subsequently, the number of general points in the system began to drop rapidly.
255 ......
200 ......
100 ......
0! !! !!

"Humanity......"
boom!
As soon as Lian finished speaking, she was suddenly thrown into the air by a tremendous force.
“What’s going on!!!”
With her brows furrowed and her eyes darting around, Lian hovered in the air, watching Taiyi slowly rise and begin to sheath his sword. She felt an indescribable terror rising from the depths of her heart.
Hiss~ Whoosh~
"This feeling of having my five senses restored is just wonderful."
Taiyi tilted his head back, feeling the warmth of the sun, listening to the howling of the sea breeze, and tasting the damp saltiness of the air.
"These newly added effects... I see. This is truly a case of surviving a great calamity, surely good fortune is to come."
He shook his head with a sigh. Although the lotus was still floating in front of him, he no longer felt the anxiety and unease he had before.
My only feeling is that fate is a truly mysterious thing.
The primordial spirit power that Sakura Dragon left in his soul has vanished without a trace. He also unexpectedly obtained wood-attribute true energy, which allowed his breathing technique to evolve.
"We won't need this for now."
With a snap, the prosthetic arm was removed and reattached to the back of the waist. The severed arm healed instantly, causing both Lian in the air and Zhu Jin in the distance to twitch at the corner of their eyes.
Taiyi also guessed that the change in his side effect from the original raging flames to the current endless karmic fire might be due to the absorption of the Asura power in Renyi's hands.
"Let's save the reflection for when we get back; we need to extricate ourselves from this situation first."
Stopping his thoughts, Taiichi stepped back with his left foot, slowly kicking up the sand, bent his right leg forward, and gripped the hilt of the Futsu-no-Mitama sword tightly with his right hand.
"Lian, although you almost killed me, I also benefited from it."
"Take this sword, and our feud will be over."
"Next time we meet, let's fight to the death!"
Boom!
A thunderclap resounded across the heavens and earth, and boundless dark clouds gathered above Bliss Island, blocking out all light and darkening the entire space. The lightning that roamed through the clouds made the whole world flicker between light and shadow.
click!
The moment the thumb pressed against the hilt, revealing a section of the blade, it seemed as if a gray current mixed with black and white energy began to continuously converge on the sword in Taiyi's hand from all directions.
"Three Ones unite... Six Ones unite..."
"Primordial energy has no form, the sword's name is... Tai! Yi!"
(My head is about to explode from writing this chapter... I can't keep going...)
