Big Brother Huang was somewhat unsettled, but his discernment remained sharp. One glance at the state of her Small World's interior and he shook his head. "It won't work. Our powers have already fully merged into her Small World. If we try to extract them, we'll drain her foundation entirely — it would cause her tremendous harm!"
Having power that was too pure wasn't necessarily a good thing, Yang Kai grumbled inwardly.
The Solar and Lunar powers were the most primordial and pure Yin and Yang forces in existence. Because they were so pure, they hardly needed any refinement at all. The moment they had surged into Zhang Ruoxi's Small World, they had fused into it, shattering the power balance throughout the entire world — leaving even Big Brother Huang at a loss.
As they spoke, Yang Kai focused his attention and observed carefully. The power imbalance within Ruoxi's Small World was severe. The Solar and Lunar powers were still constantly crashing against the surroundings, and though she was straining to suppress them, she couldn't achieve full control. Given enough time, she would inevitably fail — and once that happened, even the Warm Spirit Lotus guarding her mind would be of no use.
The root of her crisis lay in her Small World; her mind was merely being affected as a side effect.
The best means of suppressing a Small World was, naturally, a World Tree sapling. If a sapling could be planted to seal her Small World, Ruoxi's current crisis would be resolved in an instant.
Yang Kai did have such a thing, but even if he was willing to part with it, Ruoxi would be unable to refine it properly in time. Doing so would require him to sever a portion of his own Small World's territory. The loss of personal strength was secondary — after Ruoxi received it, she would need to both refine the World Tree and purge all the impurities belonging to his Small World. There simply wasn't enough time.
Back in the day, Yang Kai himself had spent considerable effort refining the sapling he'd obtained from an unknown World Cave Heaven.
What other solution was there? If he couldn't quickly find a way to completely suppress the Solar and Lunar powers, Ruoxi would genuinely be in mortal danger.
A thousand thoughts churned in Yang Kai's mind, and in his tension and urgency, inspiration struck. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Ruoxi: "Activate your bloodline power! Try to see if it can suppress those Yin and Yang forces!"
Those were the powers belonging to Zhuozhao and Youying. If there was any other force in this world capable of suppressing those two beings' power, it could only be the bloodline power of Tianxing!
Ruoxi, at the cultivation of Seventh Order Open Heaven, had been able to command thousands of Little Stone Clan members to form a Fourth-Order Nine Palaces Formation — and she had done so by relying precisely on her own bloodline power.
And those Little Stone Clan members could almost be considered extensions of Zhuozhao and Youying's power!
In his own conjecture, Tianxing was the patriarch of the Sacred Spirits as a whole. The anomalous encounter Ruoxi had experienced during her first meeting with Big Brother Huang and Big Sister Lan had undoubtedly confirmed this from the side.
It could even be said that the reason Ruoxi had absorbed the Yin and Yang powers in the first place was because her bloodline had unconsciously drawn them in.
If that was the case, then the Tianxing bloodline should be able to handle the current situation. Even if it couldn't suppress the powers entirely, it could at least pacify them.
The moment Yang Kai finished speaking, Ruoxi immediately activated her bloodline. Behind her, within the phantom projection of her Small World, a blurred feminine figure appeared.
When the woman's figure materialized, the Yin and Yang powers that had been rampaging and crashing throughout her Small World, causing it to quake ceaselessly, seemed to be seized by an inexplicable attraction and converged upon the woman's figure from every direction.
Yang Kai watched intently as the yellow and blue hues that had saturated the entire world receded like a tide, all of it flowing into the woman's body.
The feminine figure symbolizing the Tianxing bloodline appeared just as Yang Kai had last seen her — head bowed, long hair drifting in an unfelt breeze, both hands planted upon the hilt of a massive sword. Though she bore a woman's form, she possessed an air of mountainous grandeur, as though even if the heavens collapsed and the earth split apart, she would remain utterly unmoved.
After the most primordial Yin and Yang forces in the world poured into her body, two colors of intermingled light immediately rippled across her surface.
The colors grew ever brighter!
When the radiance reached its blinding peak, something like a resounding crash seemed to echo from the deepest recesses of Yang Kai's heart.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring in a trance at the scene before him. In his life, he had traveled far and wide, witnessed the splendor of countless worlds, and experienced innumerable wonders — yet the sight now imprinted upon his eyes defied description in its magnificence.
Behind the woman manifested by the Tianxing bloodline, a pair of resplendent wings had unfurled — one blue, one yellow. The light flowed and shifted like water, sometimes the yellow becoming blue, sometimes the blue transforming into yellow. The edges of the wings shimmered with a hazy glow. In that moment, the Yin and Yang powers harmonized and merged together, no longer bearing their earlier violence and destructive intent, instead exuding an aura of vitality, beautiful beyond perfection!
Simply gazing upon this mystical scene sent numerous insights surging through Yang Kai's heart. Had he gone into secluded cultivation at this moment, he would surely have reaped gains.
But now was obviously not the time for secluded meditation. He could only suppress those insights and continue monitoring Zhang Ruoxi's condition.
At his side, Big Brother Huang and Big Sister Lan were completely stunned.
They could hardly believe their eyes. The eternal problem of Solar and Lunar powers being unable to harmonize — forever colliding and annihilating each other — had been resolved in this very moment!
The shock in their hearts was no less than being struck a powerful blow. Both wore expressions of utter astonishment.
"Who is she?" Big Sister Lan couldn't help but turn to Yang Kai and ask once more. She was far too curious. Any being capable of harmonizing the Yin and Yang powers of her and Big Brother Huang was absolutely not someone who dwelt in obscurity!
