Chapter 47: Life Sizing Lightning Art (2)

He took a moment to ground himself, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly, centering his mind and body. As he scanned the surroundings, he could already sense the Yin and Yang energies in the atmosphere, swirling around him in a delicate dance.

With a focused gaze, he began the first stage of the Life Sizing Lightning Art, breathing in the Yin and Yang Qi.

"In the crackling brilliance of the lightning's fire, I witness life's birth and death's intricate desire. Within its bolts, the essence of Yin and Yang converge, Where opposites entwined, cosmic secrets emerge."

"With each electric surge, life's symphony resounds, A chaotic dance between creation's beats and death's bounds."

"In the thunderous echoes, Yin and Yang intertwine, Balancing the scales, where cosmic forces align."

"In the fierce grasp of Lightning's embrace, I embrace the paradox, finding solace in its trace."

"Within its vibrant touch, life's energies ignite,unveiling the hidden truths, casting shadows into light."

"From the depths of darkness, sparks ignite the soul, In the eternal battle, new beginnings find their roles."

"Through destructive torrents, creation finds its breath, For in death's caress, new life emerges from the depths."

As Lin Yang chanted the mantra of the first stage he visualized the Yin energy as a cool blue light and the Yang energy as a warm golden light, drawing them into his lungs with each breath.

Lin Yang felt a gentle shift within his body as the Yin and Yang energies merged, intertwining and harmonizing. He could sense the balance being restored within him, as the essence of Yin and Yang blended together seamlessly.

As he continued to cultivate, Lin Yang became aware of the subtle vibrations in the air. The harmonization of Yin and Yang had heightened his senses, allowing him to perceive the energy fluctuations in the environment more acutely.

He noticed the rustle of leaves on nearby trees, the distant call of wildlife, and even the soft crackling of energy in the surroundings. The interplay of Yin and Yang was becoming clearer to him, revealing the interconnectedness of all things.

Time seemed to both speed up and slow down simultaneously as Lin Yang delved deeper into his cultivation. Hours melted away as he remained focused on the task at hand, fully immersing himself in the breathwork and energy cultivation.

As the day progressed, Lin Yang's body buzzed with the resonance of Yin and Yang. His cells seemed to vibrate with newfound life force, rejuvenated by the infusion of cosmic energies.

He felt a deep sense of serenity and balance, as if he had become one with the natural rhythms of the universe. The Yin and Yang Qi flowed through him effortlessly, permeating every fiber of his being with its transformative essence.

The next day, Lin Yang took Lin Shi with him and left the secluded mountain. They headed towards Rivive Town, where the Lin Family resided.

As the sun began to sink in the sky, the forest that was bustling with life during the day turned into a gloomy and silent place. The sunset glow dyed the horizon with fiery red, and the setting sun looked like a bleeding wound.

They were about to cross the last mountain range and enter the town, when they halted at a narrow pass. They saw a man and a woman standing in front of them, holding hands and gazing at the sunset.

The man wore a green robe that complemented his elegant and scholarly demeanor. His face was handsome and refined, and his posture was upright and confident. The woman donned a pink dress that accentuated her graceful and curvy figure. Her hair was black as night and flowed in the wind like a waterfall. She looked like a fairy who had descended from the heavens, radiant and charming.

They seemed like a perfect match, a pair of immortal lovers, but their romantic moment was shattered by the two intruders who appeared out of the blue.

The girl in pink turned her head and gasped. Lin Yang! She hadn't seen him for years, but she recognized him at once. How did he find her here? She glared at him with a mixture of shock and disdain, and sneered. "Trash."

Lin Yang also identified the woman. He looked at the two of them in astonishment. He did not expect to encounter an old 'friend' in this desolate valley!

He lifted his chin and said coldly. "Qin Yu, if I'm trash, then what are you? A faithless whore?"

The girl's face drained of color. She opened her mouth to defend herself, but Lin Yang cut her off with a scornful sneer. "Don't bother to lie, Qin Yu. Everyone knows you're a cheap slut who pretends to be a virtuous lady. You've sold your body to countless men, and yet you still act like you're pure and innocent. How dare you look down on me, when you're the lowest of the low? Just a few days before your wedding, you're caught in the act with a handsome lover. How shameless can you be?"

He looked at her with a twisted smile, as if he enjoyed seeing her suffer. "But you know who I pity the most? Our Seventh Young Master Lin. He's about to marry a woman who's already been used by others. He's been wearing a huge green hat without even knowing it. What a joke! He must have lost his sight and his mind to choose you as his bride. You're a disgrace to his name and a curse to his life!"

On the side, Lin Shi frowned at the overly ecstatic Lin Yang and whispered in his ear. "Young Master, Miss Qin Yu have been your fiancée since you were both born! If that's the case, you … "

Lin Yang's laughter died in his throat and his face contorted. He felt a wave of revulsion and rage as he realized the meaning behind Lin Shi's words, He stared at the girl with a look of loathing and fury. "You … you vile and treacherous snake! You've ruined this sovereign reputation! You deserve to die a thousand times!"
