Chapter 1068: The Tenth Cyclone Opportunity

As he sought further advancement, an insatiable desire for improvement ignited within him. Fueled by this powerful conviction, Xu Yang suddenly noticed the black primal energy source within his body beginning to transform. It was at this precise moment that an exquisitely delicate aqua-blue light coalesced silently between his brows.

This aqua-blue light, in fact, represented the nascent domain of Xu Yang's tenth qi spiral. Should this concept be fully realized, Xu Yang would likely become an unprecedented master of primal energy, a figure unmatched in history. He would establish the tenth qi spiral, an achievement truly groundbreaking.

As his continuously unleashed primal energy continued to flow freely, the blue light point between Xu Yang's eyebrows grew increasingly distinct. Simultaneously, all the black aura he had released around him surged back violently, drawn by the appearance of this light. None of it was wasted; instead, like countless streams flowing into a vast ocean, the dispersed primal energy converged once more into the single point between his brows.

Immersed in this state of extreme pressure, caused by the continuous transmission of King Kong the Juggernaut's punch, Xu Yang found that this unexpected timing inadvertently fueled the rapid development of his insights.

Unbeknownst to him, this surge felt as vital to Xu Yang as a nascent life within his very being. "Hahaha, thank you, King Kong the Juggernaut. Had you not insisted on testing my strength and attacking me in this battle, I might have waited much longer to grasp this crucial breakthrough opportunity.

Your power's arrival brought me sufficient pressure, and in this desperate situation, it allowed me to understand how to open the tenth qi spiral. Previously, I had never even considered sealing the tenth qi spiral within my own soul world. My spiritual perspective was indeed limited. It seems I still have considerable room for growth in terms of spiritual power in the future."

King Kong the Juggernaut looked utterly bewildered. "What the hell does your breakthrough have to do with me? While I agreed to be your servant, that doesn't mean you can just shower me with such inexplicable praise."

Xu Yang burst into laughter, seemingly amused by the particular embarrassment on King Kong the Juggernaut's face. At that very moment, Xu Yang abruptly ascended into the air, leaving only an afterimage behind. He then settled cross-legged in the void, as transparent currents of power began to materialize around his body.

Were it not for the subtle tremors of energy fluctuations, no one would have been able to tell that Xu Yang was, at that moment, condensing his most potent primal power.

This transparent luster, unbeknownst to observers, had but one explanation: a true return to simplicity. Seated in the void, Xu Yang no longer released even a trace of his internal energy. Instead, he dedicated himself to perceiving the rules governing the most primal energy shifts between heaven and earth, finally comprehending the essence of "the great Dao is simple, return to pure nature."

The activation of the preceding nine qi spirals had, without a doubt, repeatedly amplified the unparalleled innate properties of primal energy. However, it was only upon reaching Xu Yang's level of cultivation, where he could disregard and transcend the very forms of primal energy, that he could truly achieve a return to simplicity and a state of complete unity.

Consequently, the primal energy source Xu Yang now condensed no longer needed to manifest any specific color. Rather, this transparent luminescence simultaneously embodied all the preceding nine colors.

In that instant, Xu Yang suddenly found that all the cultivation techniques within his mind, even those he hadn't specifically trained in, were seamlessly integrated and fully assimilated. He began to merge all the profound secrets of every cultivation method he had ever learned with his own insights. Then, in the blink of an eye, he manifested what was, to date, his true ultimate profound truth.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, the Dao is natural. My Dao is destined to embrace all rivers, melting the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands into a single furnace. It is no longer merely a synonym for a specific cultivation technique's power. From today, my name shall be Tai Yi!"

Before the Great Dao of Yin-Yang, the Wuji Taiji, the comparatively immature Xu Yang had already forged the Yin-Yang Dao. At that point, he had not yet broken through the heavenly secrets or manifested as a true Dao incarnation, merely an inconspicuous figure among the three thousand Dao.

However, Xu Yang had now perfectly integrated and transcended the Dao he had forged, ushering in a profound transformation and rebirth. The second phase of Yin-Yang, or rather, the second entirely new realm—the Tai Yi Mirror—was finally brought to completion by Xu Yang during this very battle.

"What? Where did all that power go? How did it suddenly vanish? Did our boss fail his enlightenment?" Googolace and the others were utterly dumbfounded, staring blankly. They had all been expecting Xu Yang to unleash new, profound techniques for a world-shattering counterattack against King Kong the Juggernaut, but that moment never arrived.

Xu Yang could sense that King Kong the Juggernaut was already wholeheartedly convinced. Furthermore, why would he use his most destructive and potent power to attack his new companion?

Even though Xu Yang didn't unleash any further world-shattering, self-empowering energy, the Dao aura he now radiated with every movement was incomparable to his previous, more naive self. The current Xu Yang, simply by standing there with a calm expression, conveyed the presence of an otherworldly master.

Xu Yang descended from the void to stand before King Kong the Juggernaut. With a calm expression, he met the gaze of King Kong's mountain-like form. After a brief silence, King Kong the Juggernaut finally sighed helplessly and shook his head.

In moments, he swiftly reverted to his original form, transforming back into a human. He was no longer the colossal, mountain-sized juggernaut but a seemingly well-built human with abundant hair.

"King Kong bows to master. From today onward, I shall be your most loyal guardian and personal bodyguard, protecting you. I will surely go through fire and water to fulfill all your commands and orders."

Xu Yang looked up and laughed heartily. His most cherished ambition had finally been realized. Highly pleased with the juggernaut's demeanor, he nodded repeatedly.

"Well done. From this moment forth, we are true comrades, like brothers. 'Obedience' is merely a title, a designation. On the battlefield, we are the closest companions who can trust each other with our backs. There is no distinction of superior or subordinate. Even if you are my retainer, should true danger arise, I would never allow you to stand in front of me and die in my stead. This is my principle as Xu Yang, as I journey through the world."

Following this, King Kong respectfully clasped his fists toward Xu Yang, then knelt on one knee in a reverent, ancestral gesture. It was this very scene, unfolding before her eyes, that utterly bewildered the little mushroom-picking girl on the neighboring mountain peak.
