The killing intent rose steadily as Ling Yun walked. It was so thick that everyone could feel it!

He used his divine sense to sweep across the place and saw a blood-stained sword that had yet to be put away on a stone near his right hand. Ling Yun extended his right arm and made a grabbing gesture!

Shoo!

That sword seemed to be sucked off the ground by a huge magnetic force and flew right into Ling Yun's grip!

"Ling Li, you first!" He turned to Ling Li and waved the sword in front of him.

He turned to find Ling Li's eyes looking directly into his. Ling Li's mouth was opened in an O-shape, and he was staring at Ling Yun's right hand like a maiden.

It wasn't only Ling Li!

Everyone, including Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and the thirty-six men of sacrifice, all had the same expression!

Telekinesis!

Ling Yun actually knew telekinesis!

"What's wrong?" Ling Yun couldn't comprehend what was going on. He was annoyed, thinking that Ling Li had chickened out on the killing. The twenty ninjas might not be armed now, and they didn't have the power to fight back, but they did kill many loyal men of sacrifice!

Ling Li raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Ling Yun's hand that held the sword. "Fifth Brother, you… you seemed to have displayed telekinesis…"

Ling Yong regained his composure. "What seemed? That was definitely telekinesis. Oh G.o.d, Fifth Brother, you even know telekinesis? That's a legendary skill!"

"Er…" Ling Yun was a bit shocked. Telekinesis? He looked at his right hand with some doubt and thought back carefully to what happened just now.

He recalled everything once again to confirm and was instantly ecstatic! He had displayed telekinesis without meaning to!

Ling Yun's happiness was different from that of Ling Feng and the rest.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, telekinesis would only work if you had one of two abilities. One of them was the divine sense. If the divine sense's range was wide enough to sense the object, it could "summon" the object over.

It didn't have to work that way either. As long as the divine sense's range was wide enough, it could be used as a force. It was a kind of mental power that couldn't be seen nor touched, but it could replace hands to do many things.

One would be able to retrieve anything within the range of their divine sense. Generally speaking, it wasn't all that unusual if the cultivator reached a certain cultivation base so that his divine sense was big enough.

The other ability was naturally the power to send out and receive from the palm. Not only could it send out hurricane-like True Qi, but it could also be done in reverse, where the palm acted like a vortex's suction. His energy center would flow in reverse and suck the target item. The item would naturally fly towards the palm of the person like a nail to a powerful magnetic.

This suction power was, of course, linked to that person's martial arts. The stronger the person's martial arts, the larger the suction power. It was akin to a magnet. The larger the magnet, the greater the suction power. It was the same logic.

It was also akin to the waterspout, just that the origin of the suction wasn't the dragon's mouth but the palm.

Nonetheless, reversing the flow of True Qi to create such a huge suction force from something as small as a palm was a million times more difficult than releasing a gale of wind. It was something that even someone at Xiantian Realm Level Eight couldn't achieve!

It was difficult to do even at Xiantian Realm Level Nine. That was why such a skill was legendary.

Ling Yun's current divine sense only had the function of broadening his vision. It wasn't so large to the point that it could create such a miracle. Therefore, it wasn't the result of the first ability.

The natural answer would be that Ling Yun's martial arts were really too strong. He was so focused on killing that he managed to display telekinesis.

However, that wasn't the crux of the matter.

Ling Yun was elated because he knew that his Yin-Yang harmony balance was experiencing an unexpected breakthrough! The Yin-Yang True Qi in his energy center was about to become a Yin-Yang Vortex!

Ling Yun thought that he would be able to look into his body with his divine sense once he reached Physique Tempering Stage Eight. His attempts, even when he was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine, ended in failure every time he tried.

That irked him to no end.

If Ling Yun were to activate his Yin-Yang Eye to its maximum, he would be able to look through steel plates, iron block, or granite stones of a dozen meters thick. He could almost see through his thighs entirely. However, he was unable to see his energy center, let alone see through it.

Ling Yun naturally didn't know what his energy center looked like since he couldn't see it. Therefore he could only judge based on feeling.

It was mentioned before that the energy center of a human wasn't flat but round. However, Ling Yun's energy center was different. It was a Tai Chi Diagram that never stopped rotating. It would always be a Tai Chi Diagram, no matter how it was looked at.

A complete Tai Chi Diagram that never stopped turning. The eyes of the Yin-Yang Formation sp.a.w.ned out Yin-Yang Qi continuously, helping him to advance his cultivation base quickly.

Being able to generate Yin-Yang Qi was a power that people would kill Ling Yun for without hesitation. It was too powerful!

Everyone knew that the quality and quant.i.ty of Yin-Yang Qi could only be transferred. It was totally different for Ling Yun, who could generate it within himself!

This couldn't even be described as creation, as it was simply born out of nothing. Wasn't it heaven-defying? Who wouldn't be afraid?

Putting normal cultivators aside, if Ling Yun knew about it, he would become afraid too! The Yin-Yang harmony balance wasn't supposed to be like this.

The Yin-Yang harmony balance was to absorb all the spiritual energy and True Qi and also to transform all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. It could also increase the Yin-Yang Qi in his body. However, it couldn't be born out of nothing.

When Ling Yun achieved the Yin-Yang harmony balance in the crater, his energy center mutated, forming a strange and mysterious rotating Tai Chi Diagram. It had two eye formations, which enabled him to be able to create something out of nothing!

Ling Yun wouldn't be able to explain this phenomenon!

The Earth Emperor's Book was still in Ling Yun's energy center, firmly occupying a s.p.a.ce.

How many more special powers were there left to discover in Ling Yun's energy center? Even Ling Yun didn't know. There was at least the Yin-Yang Qi, and one pure gold dragon-shaped line that looked like a real dragon. There was also the Black Yellow True Qi, the power of the thunder…

It was simply too much. No one, not even the deities, could explain why an energy center could hold so much.

Ling Yun didn't know any of this yet, but he knew that his energy center was definitely revolving non-stop.

That was because when Ling Yun activated the Yin-Yang harmony balance, the Yin-Yang True Qi in his energy center would come out from his governor and conception vessels. If his energy center was still, then the Yin-Yang True Qi coming out from the governor and conception vessels would always be the same.

However, Ling Yun realized that the True Qi coming out from his Conception Meridian was Yang Qi at times and Yin Qi at times. That was why he vaguely understood that his energy center was actually moving.

Since it could rotate, Ling Yun boldly guessed that it might be able to rotate both clockwise and counter-clockwise!

Ling Yun knew that the Yin-Yang Vortex would be formed before the Qi Cultivation Stage. Ling Yun wouldn't be able to break through to the Qi Cultivation Stage otherwise.

According to Ling Yun's estimations, it was nearly time for the Yin-Yang True Qi to become a vortex since he was just one tiny step away from the Qi Cultivation Stage.

The Yin-Yang Vortex would be astonis.h.i.+ng, for it would form a nebula state. That way, Ling Yun's Yin-Yang True Qi would form a spiral, like that of a tornado, when it appeared. The destructive power would be a hundred times stronger!

It was the same as a gust of wind blowing over. The destructive power from the same gust of wind that came in the form of a tornado could never be compared.

Ling Yun hadn't been able to reverse the flow of True Qi when he reached the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. He was indeed much weaker compared to those in the later stages of the Xiantian Realm.

That was why two things were apparent now that Ling Yun had the telekinesis ability. First, the Yin-Yang Vortex was forming in Ling Yun's energy center. The other point was that Ling Yun actually managed to control his energy center unknowingly when he was filled with murderous intent. That was how he managed to "suck" the sword into his palm via telekinesis!

Ling Yun was in ecstasy. He was right on the dot.

The truth was just as he thought, his energy center had become a Yin-Yang Vortex!

He had only managed to pull off the telekinesis feat because it was done unintentionally!

Such was the so-called Law of Daoism.

Without a doubt, this was the true beginning of Ling Yun's journey to greatness!
