Chapter 625   – Yin-Yang Hurdle

Isolated Training Space

After Miaomiao had merged his dantian with Xu Chu's and others, the universe got lively. Creatures from Xu Chu and Meowmeow's planets began to notice the changes.

Nya-Nya and Meowmeow's dantians finally became one with Miaomiao's.

Meowmeow had only one flat continent, but its size was larger than 20 solar star systems combined. It looked like a floating disk in space, but it contained strange physic laws, which prevented Qi from Miaomiao's universe to protrude into the domain of the massive continent.

Trillion cats walked on two legs. They wore clothes as if they were human, but they retained their cat physique and cute appearance.

None of them cultivated Qi. On the other than, they pursued the Law of Science.

Sci-fi-like cities occupied one-fifth of the continent. Half of them were livestock farms and catnip farms. As for the rest, they left it to nature.

After the merger, many space ships came out to explore the stars. One of them landed on Miaomiao's primary stellar star of Plot Armor Plundering Dao and created a small colony there.

A hundred battleships flew toward Liu Guang's elemental planes and planets. They ran into the armies of bugs and started a galactic war.

Fortunately, due to Miaomiao's universe law, none of them could die. Upon death, everybody was respawned on their respective planets.

In the end, Liu Guang and Meowmeow stopped their little war and educated their subordinates about the changes. Then, an unlikely alliance between the bugs and cats was formed.

Chang'e also surprised the locals. She hid a stellar star and 17 moons in her dantian.

A million birdbrain mermaids lived in the sea planet while a trillion of rabbits occupied the moons.

The rabbits were all immortal beasts. They didn't need food to live, but they cultivated Qi. Also, they were in charge of producing fish food, which was created from crystalized Plankton Element Essence of Chang'e.

The rabbits and the mermaids were afraid of the cats and the bugs. They begged Chang'e to do something about them. In response, she created an array to warn visitors not to approach the local population.

Not only Meowmeow, Chang'e, and Liu Guang had raised local creatures, Xu Chu had created a race and kept them in her dantian universe as well.

Mortal succubi had turned most of Xu Chu's habitable planets into their colonies. As for her power plant planets, aka her Stellar Stars, the succubi left them alone.

Still, the number of succubi was shocking. Xu Chu had raised over five billion mortals as her followers. In return, they worshiped Xu Chu as their goddess.

Miaomiao was tempted to take a stroll on one of the planets while wearing nothing. However, he didn't have enough time to play around.

Xu Chu's location was exposed, and more deities might come after him soon. Moreover, Miaomiao believed that some of Adam's subordinates might join forces with his enemies.

It was time to enhance his strength. He couldn't stay idle.

Unfortunately, Miaomiao couldn't tackle the 12th stage without thorough preparation.

The 12th stage branched into two paths.

The first one was an ordinary path, the Heaven Meridian Gate. This stage was the same method as what people on Golden Heavenly Goose Planet used to proceed to the 9th-stage.

The people of that planet skipped the sentinel process as they cultivated slime-like soul physique. They simply needed to open their soul meridians by challenging Heavenly Dao's Final Mortal Tribulation Gate.

Heavenly Dao would summon a Mortal Tribulation Gate for the cultivators that wished to walk this path. They had to open the gate while they were attacked by the self-defense mechanism of the Heavenly Dao Gate. After opening the Heavenly Dao Gate, their soul meridians would be opened, and their physique and soul dantian would be able to accommodate a small dimension.

Those without pocket dantian space would get theirs this way!

On the other hand, the second method, aka Stellar Constellation Gate, was exclusive for the talented mortals, who had a universe in their dantian from birth.

Instead of channeling soul meridians, which they already had, they strived for Constellation Meridians. Planets, planes, moons, and stars would be linked by invisible energy pipelines, allowing the practitioners to transfer energies freely between stars.

Smaller planes could be converted into a stellar star instantly. Cultivators could allocate their power plant stellar stars to feed specific star systems or newborn planes with a thought, and the growth of the practitioner would be faster than ordinary immortal or mortal that walked the path of Heaven Meridian Gate.

Miaomiao aimed for the second path, the Stellar Constellation Gate. However, his internal energies had to be balanced.

Currently, Origin Primordial Yin dominated Miaomiao's dantian space. Xu Chu's Qi occupied 90% of the dantian while the rest was Qi of Miaomiao and other sentinels.

For the sake of achieving the Yin-Yang balance and breakthrough to the 12th stage, Miaomiao planned to form another soul formation. He required nine familiars to form the second soul formation.

Miaomiao made a list of the current familiars, who hadn't been evolved and merged their dantians with his dantian yet.

Eurobeat, Queen Gu, Wei Yuan, Xie Fan, Xie Tian, Meng Po, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia. Miaomiao had 8 useful familiars to boost his strength by another level.

Again, the gender proportion was terrible. There were too many women, which would increase his Yin Qi.

He needed Yang, not Yin!

"This is troublesome. Where can I find people with Yang Providence Qi?"

Miaomiao had a headache. He stopped training and observed his universe to get and inspiration.

Looking at Diaochan's Unholy Karma Stellar Planet, Miaomiao narrowed his eyes.

"Make opposite stellar planets to counter the negative karma? Holy Karma Element? But how can I cultivate positive karma?"

Miaomiao closed his eyes and thought of ways to cultivate positive karma.

Then, the face of Nya-Nya appeared in his mind. As Nya-Nya was a saintess, she might know something.

Miaomiao went to Nya-Nya's star right away.

Currently, Nya-Nya stayed on a small disk continent that was originally hers. It was brimmed with Light Element, Holy Element, and Sacred Element Essence. No living creature had been born from the plane yet.

Coincidentally, she also had a compound element, Sacred Light of Saintess. Her plane was a sacred land that emitted the aura of holiness, brightening her universe.

Miaomiao measured the proportion of Yin and Yang Qi here. Strangely, not a single strand of Yin Qi was in this sector.

He appeared on the planet directly.

Noticing his arrival, Nya-Nya rushed to welcome him.

"Benefactor, what can I do for you?"

"I'm trying to balance Yin and Yang in my universe. Can you help me create a power plant planet?"

"So, you need a yang-based planet, right?"

"Yes. Could you help me create a Sacred Light or Holy Light Element Planet?"

Hearing the request, Nya-Nya bitterly smiled. She lowered her head, "But I won't have enough Yang Qi and element Qi to expand my continent. My strength will be weakened…"

"…"

Miaomiao slapped his forehead.

Fortunately, Nya-Nya was honest. Otherwise, he might have taken advantage or oppressed her too much.

Everybody had goals in life, so did Nya-Nya. She might be a catopus, but she also wanted to be stronger.

Miaomiao patted her head and hugged her, "I'm sorry. Forget the request. I won't take advantage of you."

Nya-Nya blushed and purred. She licked his cheek, "It's okay. When you are stronger, please allocate more Yang Qi to my plane, okay?"

"Nah, this won't do. I won't eat up your Qi. I'll think of something else."

Miaomiao's consciousness vanished.

…

Demon King Castle

Miaomiao stopped meditating and looked for Xie Tian and Xie Lian.

But he couldn't find them anywhere.

Xie Lian had returned to Eden Garden Planet. As for Xie Tian, he went somewhere with his father again.

Without the presence of Xie Tian, Miaomiao could not borrow Xie Tian and Xie Qingtian's Qi.

He scratched his head, wondering what he should do. He took a stroll in the castle, searching for another inspiration.

As he walked, he stumbled upon Kang Yan, Yin Monarch, and Yang Monarch. The gang had been cooking dangerous plants in an alchemy cauldron, but it didn't look like they were concocting a pill.

"What are you guys doing?" Miaomiao approached them.

Noticing Miaomiao's presence, Kang Yan waved her hand, "I'm making herbal soup. Want some?"

Miaomiao glanced at the cauldron. The soup was black-purple, and the foul smell was similar to human sweat. Yet, an Aztec dubstep song was audible from the pot.

There was something wrong with Kang Yan's preference. She kept using the Dao of Pillar Men too often. Maybe, she liked muscular men.

He glanced at Yin and Yang Monarch. They sweated profusely and shed tears of regret.

"Where's your father? Is he still sleeping?"

The two snakes wailed, "That old man is too cunning! He is pretending to be sick!"

"That's right. He left us to deal with this… Tribulation of Madness! Benefactor, please help us!"

Miaomiao frowned while Kang Yan maliciously smiled at the snakes.

"My soups are nutritious and have a lot of fibers. You guys have been eating nothing but metal ores from my stellar stars. You need to eat something nice for once."

"No! No! We won't eat your Mithril Element Essence and Mithril Ores again! We swear!"

Kang Yan grinned. She grabbed Yin Monarch and shoved his head into the cauldron. Then, she directed a liter of soup down his throat with her Qi.

Yin Monarch was bloated like a balloon. However, the soup only decreased by 10%.

Kang Yan tossed Yin Monarch away. The snake's eyes turned white, and a spirit came out of its mouth, trying to go to Samsara.

"NOOOO. YIN MONARCH!!"

Kang Yan giggled and her eyes shone in red light. The spirit of Yin Monarch was trapped and got pulled back into its body.

A portal was opened, and Kang Yan pulled Yin Monarch back to Miaomiao's dantian space.

She turned to look at her next prey.

"Your turn, Yang."

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!"

As Kang Yan was reaching for Yang Monarch, Miaomiao stood before her.

"Husband? What are you doing?"

"Can I borrow him? I need to consult him about something."

Kang Yan pouted. Then, she glanced at her soup.

"You drink all the soup, and I'll allow it."

Miaomiao sweated waterfall, "C-Can I refuse?"

"This soup is made from a hundred immortal-grade plants. It contains a massive amount of Origin Providence Yin and Yang Qi. Although it contains some nasty Rotten Element Qi in it, it is nutritious for us."

"…"

Miaomiao gulped. He hesitated.

But once he glanced at Yang Monarch, he noticed how cute the latter was. The python's eyes turned into puppy eyes, begging Miaomiao to save him.

Miaomiao took a deep breath. Then, he grabbed the cauldron and began chugging the black-purple liquid.

Ding

<You have consumed Immortal-Grade Liquid, Kang Yan's Failure Cooking #1108.>

<You have obtained a large amount of Chloro Element Essence and Poison Element Essence.>

<You have obtained a large amount of Origin Primordial Yin and Yang Qi.>

Miaomiao's face turned purple. He retched as if he wanted to throw everything back to the cauldron, but his stomach instantly digested everything.

Although it was nutritious as Kang Yan had said, Miaomiao couldn't stand the flavor and the smell. He fainted.

"BENEFACTOR, NOOOOOOO!!" Yang Monarch cried.

Meanwhile, Kang Yan's face turned dark. Her cold eyes glanced at the bottom of the cauldron.

There was about a liter remaining. Miaomiao couldn't drink everything.

Kang Yan grinned. She dragged the cauldron toward the last python.

"There are still more. Come on, don't be shy. Let's have you drink everything. You know, the bottom of the pot is the most delicious part."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
