Opportunity (Rewrite)

Since he was in a deep state of enlightenment, he sat down again in a meditative position to continue to absorb the yin and yang qi from the dragon ravine. This time time both continued to be mixed in his newly formed combination of pure yin and yang qi and it continued to fill his dantain and golden skeleton allowing him to breakthrough again. 

Cultivation Realm: 2nd Stage Initial Element 

Combat power: 1st Stage Qi Transformation (Shikai)

Checking his status window, Liu Zheng was satisfied with his progress. However, he felt the need to rename his new black and white qi. After a brief contemplation, he settled on "Chaos Qi," derived from its chaotic yet stable nature, where yin and yang mutually enhanced each other while retaining their individual purity.

'I should call it Pseudo Chaotic Qi but in short Chaos Qi deriving inspiration from the primal chaos though far from it but still as its goal' He thought to himself.

It was very unoriginal and cliché but still simple enough to be used and understood. As he was pondering over such thoughts, a voice interrupted from behind.

"You seem to have achieved something which should be impossible in this world but as I am looking at your state, I can't help but be astonished." spoke an elderly man with a majestic beard and attire that made him seem like someone from the High Heaven Pavilion and he instantly recognized him from the story.

He respectfully greeted him in the martial way of a junior to senior and said "Disciple Liu Zheng greets pavilion Master"

He was surprised and asked him "I haven't appeared in the sect in a very long time so how do you know me?"

"Pavilion master's image and demeanor is transcendent and i have never felt such powerful feeling from anyone so I was sure that you are the Pavilion Master."

"Hoho, you have a very keen eye. How did you manage to achieve harmony between the qi of such opposite natures?" He was impressed by his deduction skill and asked.

"I was born with a special physique which had a wisp of such qi where yin and yang qi were harmonized. I have always tried to imitate it but failed to no avail but this time due to me achieving some enlightenment I was able to balance those opposing Qi's and form a new type of Qi" Liu Zheng revealed cautiously, hinting at his innate ability to balance and merge yin and yang energies.

"A special physique, hmm, that seems to be the best and only possible reason for this miracle" He knew that Liu Zheng had more secrets since he saw him holding those two swords which disappeared in form of golden light but decided not to probe too much.

He then went on to tell Liu Zheng about the story about the dragon ravine about how it was made from a sword strike and that their ancestor sealed a powerful demon several hundred years ago then created the high heaven pavilion to guard it for several it for several decades and finally left after making sure that there was no problem here. In between the conversation he heard a voice from his mind.

( from now on white is zangetsu and quincy power manifestation is old man zangetsu)

"King, now that synchronized with me and mastered what you named Chaos Qi. You can absorb any form of yin or yang qi and I can purify and refine it making it a part of our strength." Zangetsu explained, revealing a new dimension to Liu Zheng's abilities.

He was suprised to hear that but also very relieved that now he won't have to maintain that delicate balance and just focus on cultivating whether it be Yin qi, yang qi or just your day to day qi present in the atmosphere. 

Liu Zheng has achieved the same feat that Yang kai did when we was trapped in some place after entering the starry sky but gave a different name, calling it Demonic Flame because that was its nature. His unique qi blend is a combination of pure light(shinigami) and dark(hollow)qi present in Zangetsu so it might look similar but it is superior in purity and developmental prospects.

Yang kai had just discarded it later on because being able to combine yin and yang qi became a less rare thing in star boundary and a necessary skill in outer verse.

That's when an idea struck him and he asked the pavilion master "Pavilion master, pardon my offence but due to my physique I am very sensitive to yin and yang qi around me and I can feel some demonic yin qi from you though it is very unstable making me think it is some kind of injury. My special physique allows me to absorb any kind of yin and yang qi so may be I can help you out with that" 

Pavilion master was taken aback at the discovery of his injuries by him.

After thinking for a few moments, he sighed and said "I got injured while fighting a powerful demonic cultivator around two decades ago and since then I have not been able to dispel this corrosive yin qi all out and it has also hindered my cultivation too but I doubt you can be of much because it is a very powerful qi not like something you have felt from siting here at the entrance of the dragon ravine but I appreciate your thoughts about helping me "

"Though I cannot help you all at once at my current realm but I might be able to slowly help you take it out from your meridians and if it becomes too overwhelming for me I can force it out of my body without any problem with the help of my special physique. I can try right now if you are still skeptical and consider that it would be harmful for me" i said

Sect Master saw his earnest desire to help and was impressed with his bravery too so he agreed and allowed him to try. He sat down in a meditative position and Liu Zheng sat down behind him putting hands on his back. The corrosive yin qi was all around his spinal cord ready to attack his central nervous system but he has to constantly use a lot of his qi to keep it at bay. 

Liu Zheng can see that he can maintain this state without any problem but he won't ever be able to break though.

"Zangetsu, I am counting on you" 

"What will you ever do without me king?" He replied cheekily from his mind as they started to absorb the yin qi, but soon realized the overwhelming volume of yin qi exceeded their current capacity. 

Given two choices—to slowly convert it into strength or focus solely on cleansing—the duo opted for the latter thinking they will have many opportunities later now, extracting 1 whole percent of the yin qi after working tirelessly over the course of an hour.

"Even this fraction has alleviated my condition significantly, if you manage to dispel even half of the total yin qi, I will be able to do the rest on my own, making a complete recovery." acknowledged the Pavilion Master gratefully, foreseeing his eventual recovery if Liu Zheng continued to aid him.

"You really did help me out a lot, although its only a fraction but i can already feel better and if you manage to dispel even half of the total yin qi, i will be able to do the rest on my own and make a complete recovery." In gratitude, the Pavilion Master offered Liu Zheng a reward. Humble in his request, Liu Zheng sought knowledge—a dual wielding sword technique.

Sect Master took him to the small mountain peak where he resided and allowed Liu Zheng to take a look in the library which was exclusive to the sect master and contains the best of the martial and secret techniques. 

After going through the whole library, he still couldn't find a sword technique suitable for his swords which was quite understandable because they were pretty uneven so he borrowed some other single and dual wielding techniques which varied from earth to heaven grade just to understand more about the sword Dao.

Sect master told Liu Zheng to visit the peak every two days for two months and inform him before taking a leave in between. Liu Zheng agreed and went on his way home.
