Chapter 676: Inverting Yin and Yang, Reversing Heaven to Change Fate

"How about breaking off a branch from the Immortal of Time to forge a zither?" the Immortal of Immortality suggested. Of course, this was a telepathic message; she didn't say it aloud, as Gan Tian was still unaware of her existence.

The Immortal of Time's true form was enormous; even a single branch or leaf was about five or six *he* thick.

"Wouldn't that be disrespectful to Senior Time?" the Senior Disciple Sister hesitated slightly.

The Immortal of Immortality waved it off. "Oh, what's all this talk about respect? The Immortal of Time himself often uses parts of his own body for crafting artifacts."

"His branches and leaves are like his hair. What's the big deal about pulling out a strand of his hair to forge something?"

"He's always crafting with parts of his body, whether he has a reason or not."

If one were to talk about the best crafting materials, it would have to be the Immortal of Time. As the oldest existence between heaven and earth, what material could possibly surpass his own body?

"Even the Immortal of Nine Heavens considered using his own body for crafting."

"He mastered the Dao Fruit of Yin and Yang, didn't he? Yin and Yang represent change. With Yin and Yang complementing each other, the Dao generates endless possibilities and orchestrates creation. He could create human beings using the power of his Dao Fruit."

"Initially, he wanted to extract one of his ribs to create people. But then he got troubled wondering if the people he created this way would be his younger siblings or his children, so he eventually abandoned the idea."

Lu Yang was speechless.

"Are the customs of you ancient folks all so wild?"

"Oh, speaking of which, it seems I have a way to improve Young Meng's situation," the Immortal of Immortality said, having a sudden inspiration, though she didn't know what exactly sparked it.

"Improve what?"

"Have you ever heard of 'Reversing Yin and Yang to Alter Fate'?"

Lu Yang vaguely remembered it, thinking it was an extraordinary great divine ability.

"Yes, it's a great divine ability that can alter fate. It can only be used on oneself, not on others."

"If Young Meng learns this move, he might be able to change his lone spirit root constitution and even improve his luck."

"Can you do it, Immortal?"

"Of course I can. How about this: I'll teach both of you. Whether you can learn it depends on your own abilities."

Upon hearing he had a chance to learn such a great divine ability, Lu Yang was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.

Lu Yang explained the Immortal of Immortality's idea to the Senior Disciple Sister, who also thought it was feasible. The only problem was that this particular divine ability was too difficult to learn; it wasn't something someone at the Nascent Soul stage could master.

"We can try."

"Senior, could you describe how you perform this move? Let's compare notes." The Senior Disciple Sister also knew this move, but she hadn't thought of using it on Meng Jingzhou.

"All right."

The two quickly communicated via telepathic messages. Only after the Senior Disciple Sister confirmed they both mastered the same divine ability did she feel relieved.

After Gan Tian reached the Integration stage, she went into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation. Skygate Peak was then only occupied by the Senior Disciple Sister, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou, whom Lu Yang had called back after he had initially left with the others.

Upon hearing the news, Meng Jingzhou was overjoyed.

Heaven help him, was it finally his turn for luck to turn and alter his fate?

Lu Yang seriously said, "If you're feeling grateful, you can kowtow to me twice. I'll accept it on behalf of the Immortal."

"Get lost."

The Immortal of Immortality floated out from Lu Yang's body, her expression serene and peaceful, like an immortal from a fantasy.

The Immortal of Immortality slowly spoke, making a graceful gesture with her hand. "I see your extraordinary talent; you are destined for greatness in the future. Therefore, I hereby grant you an immortal opportunity today. Whether you can seize this depends on your own fortune."

"Meng Jingzhou thanks the Immortal!"

At the summit of Skygate Peak, the Senior Disciple Sister temporarily didn't return to Prisoner Peak to continue interrogations. Instead, she observed the Immortal of Immortality's teaching process.

"'Reversing Yin and Yang' can cause heaven and earth to lose their order, and the sun and moon to lose their regularity, just like confusing right and wrong, or mixing up black and white. It is among the top few most powerful moves even among great divine abilities. If you two intend to learn it, you must be mentally prepared..."

"The spirit in your heart is key to learning this move. To overcome fate, you must first believe in fate..."

"After grasping the basics of 'Reversing Yin and Yang,' you can only transform a portion of it. This will be enough to convert your pure Yang spirit root into a Yin-Yang spirit root..."

"When performing this move, be careful not to exert too much force, or your pure Yang spirit root will turn into a pure Yin spirit root..."

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were extremely well-behaved, sitting obediently on the ground, listening and diligently trying to remember every word the Immortal of Immortality spoke.

"Actually, if you want to learn 'Reversing Yin and Yang,' you have the best reference right before your eyes."

"What is it?" they both asked simultaneously.

The Immortal of Immortality pointed upwards. "It's the sun."

"Day is Yang, night is Yin. Whether it was the alternation of the sun and moon in our time, or the changes in the sun and moon now, they are all the best examples of 'Reversing Yin and Yang.' It's a pity that few people can grasp this truth," the Immortal of Immortality sighed, as if saddened by the ignorance of the world.

Meng Jingzhou seized the opportunity to flatter her. "That's why you're an Immortal, Senior; you can comprehend things ordinary people can't."

"Oh, I didn't comprehend it either. This truth was told to us by the Immortal of Nine Heavens."

Meng Jingzhou was speechless.

It took the Immortal of Immortality a full day to fully explain the principles of this great divine ability.

"I've explained all the principles. Whether you can comprehend them now depends on your own fortune."

"I advise you to observe carefully during the transformation of the sun and moon; it will help you learn this divine ability."

"Yes," they both replied in unison.

For the next few days, the two did nothing but concentrate on their studies, comprehending the divine ability according to the Immortal of Immortality's methods.

"Reversing Yin and Yang to Alter Fate" truly deserved its reputation as one of the top few great divine abilities; even with Lu Yang's talent, he couldn't master it in just a short time.

On the morning of the fifth day, as the sun and moon alternated, the two brothers looked up at the sky. The silvery moon, representing the power of Taiyin, began to shed its original color, becoming veiled in a layer of red. The red veil deepened, completely coloring the moon crimson, transforming it into a brilliant sun representing the power of Taiyang.

At that moment, Lu Yang felt an epiphany, as if a veil had been lifted in his mind.

He slowly closed his eyes, continuously replaying the magnificent and spectacular scenery of the sun and moon alternating at dawn and dusk in his mind.

Lu Yang revealed a confident smile.

He had learned it.

He felt his destiny undergo a change.

Meng Jingzhou scratched his head in distress. His magical talent was considered first-rate, but learning such an advanced great divine ability was still too difficult.

He turned to his good brother and asked, "Lu Yin, have you learned it?"

Lu Yang's confident smile froze on his face. "...Wait, what did you call me?"

"Lu Yin? Is something wrong?"

Lu Yang quickly turned to ask the Immortal of Immortality and the Senior Disciple Sister, "What's happening to me?"

Unlike Meng Jingzhou, both the Immortal of Immortality and the Senior Disciple Sister noticed Lu Yang's change. A mysterious power had settled upon Lu Yang, changing his name to "Lu Yin." It was as if Lu Yang had been born with the name "Lu Yin," and even the name on his identity jade tablet at his waist now read "Lu Yin."

The Immortal of Immortality scratched her head, looking troubled. "'Reversing Yin and Yang to alter his name'?"

"I guess he learned it?"
