Chapter 189 - 118: Zhang Su Embraces Pill, Advancing to Pill Force

Zhang Su had previously achieved the four-in-one state, creating Yin Yang Mixture Strength.

Now, achieving the six-in-one state presented no difficulty whatsoever.

Everything went smoothly.

The Inner Strengths fused, with Yin and Yang complementing each other to reach flawless Perfection.

The process known as Embracing Pill involves treating the human body as a great pill—perfectly round and brilliantly golden—and achieving a Realm of perfect control over one’s Inner Strength.

Every iota of Inner Strength could erupt with a terrifying force, several or even more than ten times its normal power.

Of course, there are distinctions within the Embracing Pill Realm.

When an ordinary Martial Artist undergoes Embracing Pill, their Pill Force can at most unleash a few times its base power.

A slightly stronger practitioner could generate ten times the power.

However, a few extremely rare Martial Artists with solid foundations, who undergo Embracing Pill with a profound and advanced Cultivation Technique, could potentially unleash more than ten or even twenty times the power.

As for Zhang Su...

He had forged a Supreme Foundation.

Furthermore, he practiced the Cultivation of the Guiyuan Sect’s Supreme Secret Transmission: the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill.

Now, as he underwent Embracing Pill at the six-in-one Realm, it was likely that not even Zhang Su himself was entirely sure just how powerful the eruption of his Pill Force would be.

Inside the Quiet Chamber, Zhang Su sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

The air around him seemed to have frozen solid.

The Inner Strength in his body was circulating slowly, following a profound and mysterious pattern.

Going from a four-in-one to a six-in-one fusion might sound like merely adding two more types of Inner Strength, but in reality, it was a qualitative transformation.

At this moment, his Inner Strength was like a massive torrent, surging endlessly within his body.

On one side, his Extreme Yang Internal Force burned like fire; on the other, his Extreme Yin Internal Force was as cold as ice.

The two forces were codependent, mutually restrictive, and formed a perfect balance.

The process of Embracing Pill was to have these two forces fuse completely, becoming one.

Zhang Su’s breathing grew increasingly slow and deep.

The interval between each inhale and exhale was dozens of breaths long.

His heartbeat also slowed, dropping from the normal seventy or eighty beats per minute to fewer than ten.

This was a state approaching that of a hibernating tortoise.

For a Martial Artist to undergo Embracing Pill, their body must enter the deepest state of tranquility to perceive its internal condition.

Time trickled by.

Zhang Su’s consciousness sank into his body.

He saw a void of chaos.

The Extreme Yang Internal Force and the Extreme Yin Internal Force swirled in the void.

They chased and devoured one another, yet always maintained a delicate distance.

Zhang Su knew this was the prelude to their fusion.

He no longer tried to guide them, instead allowing the two Inner Strengths to develop freely.

It was a mysterious and profound sensation.

Then, at a certain moment, the Extreme Yang Internal Force and the Extreme Yin Internal Force suddenly collided.

There was no imagined roar, no violent tremor.

Everything was calm.

Zhang Su’s heart filled with joy.

He knew the most critical step was over.

The rest of the fusion would now be a natural process.

Zhang Su’s process of Embracing Pill continued.

After all, his reserves of Extreme Yang Internal Force and Extreme Yin Internal Force were simply too vast.

An ordinary Martial Artist might only need one or two hours to complete the process of Embracing Pill.

But Zhang Su was different.

The amount of Inner Strength in his body far surpassed that of other Martial Artists of the same rank by several, or even ten, times.

This was both a good thing and a difficult one.

The advantage was a profound foundation and formidable combat strength.

The disadvantage was that every breakthrough required more time and energy.

Time passed, little by little.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The sky outside the window went from light to dark.

The moon rose, its light filtering through the crevices of the window lattice to cast a patch of silver-white brilliance on the floor.

Zhang Su sat cross-legged on the bed, motionless.

His breathing was steady, his mind completely serene.

But within his body, an earth-shattering transformation was taking place.

Under his guidance, the six Inner Strengths were fusing, slowly and steadily.

When the Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin met, they did not explode but instead wove together naturally.

The frown on Zhang Su’s brow gradually smoothed out.

As Zhang Su’s Extreme Yang Internal Force and Extreme Yin Internal Force constantly fused, they reached a state where "from the apex of yang, yin is born, and from the apex of yin, yang is born." At this point, a completely new type of Inner Strength emerged.

It was not Yin Yang Mixture Strength.

It was... Pure Yang Force!

Yin Yang Mixture Strength was the result of the four-in-one fusion, a simple mixture of Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin.

Although it was much stronger than ordinary Inner Strength, it was still fundamentally just a superposition of two forces.

But Pure Yang Force was different.

Pure Yang Force was the result of the six-in-one fusion—a perfect integration of yin and yang.

It was not a superposition of two forces, but the birth of an entirely new one.

The Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill, at the six-in-one stage, gives birth to Pure Yang Force!

This Pure Yang Force was incredibly terrifying, encompassing both yin and yang and containing all things. It was remarkably similar in principle to the Five Elements Force created by the Five Elements Sect’s Five Elements Unite technique.

All things in the world are born from yin, yang, and the five elements.

Shi Buyi, the Celestial Pride of the Five Elements Sect, had achieved the Five Elements Unite state and mastered the Five Elements Force. His Inner Strength was endless and self-sustaining, and his combat prowess was astonishing.

However, the Guiyuan Sect was by no means inferior. It also had its own Supreme Secret Transmission, the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill, which enabled the Cultivation of Pure Yang Force, a power that encompassed both yin and yang.

Unfortunately, a long time had passed since any disciple in the Guiyuan Sect had been able to practice the Cultivation of the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill, let alone produce Pure Yang Force.

But at this moment, Zhang Su had succeeded!

Once the first wisp of Pure Yang Force was born, the subsequent fusion of his Inner Strength went very smoothly.

Ten threads, a Hundred Threads, a thousand threads, ten thousand threads...

Pure Yang Force was generated in an unending stream.

This continued until all the Inner Strength in his body had been completely transformed into Pure Yang Force.

Zhang Su felt the Pure Yang Force within his body.

It was a power completely different from anything he had wielded before.

It was not scorching hot like the Extreme Yang Internal Force, nor was it bone-chillingly cold like the Extreme Yin Internal Force.

Every thread of Pure Yang Force was like a ray of sunlight, radiating a soft glow.

But when this light converged, it could unleash an incredibly terrifying power.
