Zhang Chen's eyes were fixed on the Innate Peacock, and if the opponent was going to speak like this, then he was getting interested!
Reasonably speaking, this old fellow's physical body was destroyed, wouldn't it count as a 'wandering ghost'?
As Zhang Chen was pondering how to trick this peacock's True Spirit, the Innate Peacock spoke: "If you asked me tens of thousands of years ago whether I have a method to reverse Innate Yin Yang to Innate Five Elements, I would have been helpless. But you, kid, have good fortune; I acquired a Divine Technique from an arch-nemesis, called: Inverted Yin and Yang."
"Once Yin and Yang are inverted, they can reverse the Qi of the Two Principles, and the Yin Yang Qi will transform into Innate Five Elements Qi. I will now teach you the Great Divine Technique of Inverted Yin and Yang; whether you can comprehend it will depend on your Creation." After speaking, the Innate Peacock directly explained the Divine Technique of Inverted Yin and Yang to Zhang Chen.
When Zhang Chen heard the words 'Inverted Yin and Yang,' his heart couldn't help but tremble: "Isn't this the legendary Great Divine Technique among the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits?"
Then, he quickly calmed his mind and listened attentively. But just as the peacock was explaining, suddenly its True Spirit trembled, and wisps of multicolored light were inexplicably absorbed and disappeared into the Treasure Mirror.
"Damn scoundrel! If I get out, I won't rest until I've chopped it to pieces!" The Innate Peacock looked at the flowing Innate Five Elements Qi with anger in its eyes.
At this time, Zhang Chen had already grasped part of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror's authority, and naturally understood what was happening. He saw Xu Erniu, standing before the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, form a seal with her hands, and a strand of Innate Five Elements Essence Qi shot from the Innate Peacock's body and entered Xu Erniu's body.
The Innate Peacock stopped explaining, and instead said: "That girl is my descendant, possessing my bloodline. She can use that beast's formula to draw my Bloodline Power to accelerate the cultivation and growth of the Grass Returning Pill."
"What grudge do you have with that old scoundrel?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Years ago, an Immortal came from the Immortal Realm, wanting to subdue me as a mount. I fought him for three days, severely injuring him with the authority of Innate Five Elements, killing his physical form, and suppressing his True Spirit. After our battle, I also suffered injuries and encountered Changsheng, that beast. I fell into calamity and desire, combining with Changsheng's daughter, and bore a daughter. Later, I escaped the calamity, brought their entire family into Qingcheng Mountain, and taught them cultivation formulas. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that a trace of the Immortal's True Spirit escaped with the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, attached itself to Changsheng. Then, Changsheng, the bastard, obtained the Immortal's inheritance, helped the Immortal restore his form, and when I was in closed-door cultivation, the Immortal came to fight me in three hundred rounds. At that time, Changsheng helped the Immortal trick me with the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and they together trapped me inside it." The Innate Peacock's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, feeling utterly stifled, knowing that if it wasn't for its old father-in-law's betrayal, it wouldn't have ended up like this.
"That Inverted Yin and Yang Divine Technique I acquired from that Immortal, then spent tens of thousands of years in the Land of Return comprehending it." The Innate Peacock said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen's pupils contracted, catching the two keywords 'Immortal' and 'Immortal Realm.' The so-called Immortal Realm should be the Thirty-Three Heavens.
He wanted to ask more, but saw the Innate Peacock impatiently say: "Quit the blabbering, listen carefully, I will only explain once. If you do not understand, I won't repeat it."
The peacock, while withstanding Xu Erniu's absorption from the void, explained the Yin Yang Dao to Zhang Chen.
Inverted Yin and Yang is indeed a miraculous Great Divine Technique, and since Zhang Chen hadn't even reached the fruit's level, he could only grasp fragmentary insights listening to it.
But fortunately, Zhang Chen had Innate Yin Yang Qi within his body, and by corresponding it with his own Innate Yin Yang Qi, he could comprehend a few insights.
After the peacock finished its explanation, the Innate Peacock asked: "Did you understand?"
Zhang Chen blinked: "I kind of understood but kind of didn't."
"Your realm is too low. This Great Divine Technique, Inverted Yin and Yang, is difficult even for a Fruit Strong Person to comprehend. You, a mere ant, want to understand it? That's simply dreaming. But I've already taught you the cultivation formula; if you can't comprehend it, it's your own problem and not my fault." The Innate Peacock hurriedly shifted all responsibility away, thoroughly clearing its name.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen frowned. The Innate Peacock was trying to shirk responsibility, and there was nothing he could do about it. But just because he couldn't cultivate Inverted Yin and Yang doesn't mean he couldn't find another way.
"How did you obtain the Inverted Yin and Yang Divine Technique from that Immortal?" Zhang Chen asked.
Hearing Zhang Chen's question, the Innate Peacock said: "That person had a Jade Plate recording this Divine Technique, and I got it."
"I want to see that Jade Plate myself." Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock.
The next moment, vibrant multicolored lights appeared behind the Innate Peacock, and a palm-sized Jade Plate landed in front of it: "Here is the original version, you may take it to study."
The Innate Peacock did not believe that Zhang Chen, this novice, could understand the original version of the Divine Technique. He had already spoon-fed the technique to Zhang Chen, who still couldn't comprehend it. Does Zhang Chen really think he can understand the original? It's simply a delusion.
"Boy, do you think I'm trying to fool you? It's your own lack of Dao Practice that makes you unable to understand, yet you suspect me of trickery—truly shameless." The Innate Peacock grumbled.
