Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, "In the map you gave me, there was mention of the Land of Pure Yang. What is it? Does it contain Pure Yang Power? Is the Pure Yang Power the Yang Force in the Yin and Yang Dual Power?"
The Yin-Yang power is Xiao Mu's fallback choice. If he cannot obtain powers like Creation, Hongmeng, Origin, and Chaos, then it wouldn't be too bad to choose the Yin-Yang Power instead.
Du Kuang answered, "Mr. Xiao Mu, you have guessed correctly. Pure Yang Power is a type of Yang Force. It might not count as the strongest, but it is undoubtedly very powerful. Additionally, there is also Yin Force."
Xiao Mu was quite satisfied with this answer.
Considering this, it seems inevitable that the Realm of True Nothingness would contain Yin-Yang Power.
This indicates that even if he is incredibly unlucky and cannot obtain one of the top-tier powers, Xiao Mu could still downgrade his goal and choose the Yin-Yang Power or one of its components.
In terms of levels, the Yin-Yang Power is slightly stronger than the Five Elements Power.
Xiao Mu asked immediately, "I have another question. Can one cultivate both Yin and Yang at the same time, practicing both Yin Force and Yang Force concurrently?"
Du Kuang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Xiao Mu's question obviously exceeded his own understanding. He reluctantly said, "I haven't heard of the query Mr. Xiao Mu has proposed. Theoretically it should be possible, but it's not something insignificant characters like me would know."
This answer disappointed Xiao Mu.
But when thinking about it, it was reasonable. For the Yin-Yang Dual Power, even if someone could cultivate both concurrently, they definitely have to be a top-tier genius to accomplish it.
Du Kuang, even though he belongs to the Broken Truth Mountain, is just an ordinary strongman. His limited strength indeed would not allow him to reach the realm of top-tier geniuses.
This question was pointless to ask him.
Xiao Mu asked another critical question, "How many Power Seeds of Yang Force does the Land of Pure Yang possess?"
This question was also of significant concern to Xiao Mu.
Although for a cultivator, there is no specific requirement for the number of Power Seeds to be absorbed for attaining Dao. If the same kind of Power Seed is absorbed, the more Power Seeds absorbed, the stronger the strength after attaining Dao.
Du Kuang shook his head, "It's hard to say. The Land of Pure Yang is named as such because the chances of Yang Force Power Seeds spawning here is high, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Yang Force Power Seeds will spawn."
"As for how much Pure Yang Power this place possesses, that's uncertain. It could be a lot, or very little."
Having said that, Du Kuang asked curiously, "Mr. Xiao Mu, do you tend to prefer cultivating the Pure Yang Power in Yin-Yang Power?"
Xiao Mu didn't think of hiding anything and nodded, "I have that intention."
What he hopes for most is to obtain top-tier Power Seeds like the Hongmeng's Power, Creation's Power, Origin Power, and Chaos Power.
But if, as Du Kuang said, he can't find such a top-tier Power Seed in the Realm of True Nothingness, then choosing Yin-Yang Power as a next-best choice wouldn't be a bad idea.
After all, the Yin-Yang Power has already surpassed the Five Elements Power by a considerable margin in terms of its level.
After cultivating the Yin-Yang Power, he can then find a way to mutate a top-tier Secret Manual, and his strength can still stay ahead at the same realm.
Du Kuang smiled bitterly, "Mr. Xiao Mu, I have something to say, not sure if it's appropriate."
Xiao Mu responded, "Feel free to speak."
Only then did Du Kuang say, "A higher power level doesn't necessarily mean stronger strength. It largely depends on the person."
"The Hongmeng's Power is strong enough, right? But unfortunately, the Power Seeds of this type are too rare and hard to obtain. Even though it's high end, one Hongmeng's Power can't compare with a hundred Five Elements Power."
"I hope Mr. Xiao Mu can consider this carefully. After all, even if you get hold of a rare Power Seed and successfully step into the Fifth Realm, but end up without a corresponding Secret Manual to cultivate, that would be disastrous."
"Even if there is a corresponding Secret Manual for cultivation, you might not be able to find corresponding Energy Particles during the subsequent cultivation process, which would be equally miserable."
Du Kuang wasn't making up stories. Even after stepping into the Fifth Realm and continuing the cultivation, for every realm upgrade, apart from the energy provided by the energy fruits, it also requires corresponding Energy Particles.
In the absence of corresponding Energy Particles, no matter how many energy fruits one consumes, it would be impossible to make any progress in strength.
After all, after stepping into the Fifth Realm, the performance of individual strength no longer solely depends on the amount of energy inside the body, but also relies on various Strange Energy Particles.
These Strange Energy Particles exhibit the true power of the Fifth Realm and play a vital role in forming the power gap between the Fifth and Fourth Realms.
This also explains why even the strongest Mutated Beings in the Fourth Realm can't surpass a powerful fighter in the Fifth Realm — the fundamental nature of their power has changed.
After some thought, Xiao Mu said again: "What if someone absorbs rare energy particles, successfully steps into the Fifth Realm, but doesn't have an appropriate secret manual to cultivate. What then?"
He was also worried that in case he obtained the Creation Power, but could not mutate the appropriate secret manual, it would pose a problem.
After all, the Mutation Technique is not a panacea; for mutating a secret manual, the compilation of the pseudo secret manual also needs to be reasonable.
Unreasonable mutation techniques, even if used, may not necessarily mutate into something you want.
Du Kuang said: "If that's the case, the only choice is to abandon the Power Seed and start over."
"Some of the Fifth Realm's powerful beings willingly decrease their cultivation, discard their Power Seed, and re-enter the Realm of True Nothingness for this reason."
"I see!"
Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling enlightened.
Knowing that even if he takes the wrong path, there are ways to remedy, he felt relieved.
He immediately thought of something else and voiced his concern, "So that means, on this trip to the Realm of True Nothingness, there is a high probability of encountering a Fifth Realm powerful being?"
Du Kuang looked serious, "Very likely. It has happened before."
Hearing this, Xiao Mu fell into deep thought, his expression turning solemn as well.
A Fifth Realm being is no common adversary, even if it cuts down its cultivation level to the Fourth Realm.
Not to mention, these powerful beings have experience in Attaining Dao, and to re-cultivate back to the Fifth Realm would be extremely easy for them. Chances are that the moment they get their hands on the Power Seed, they can instantly step into the Fifth Realm.
On this trip to the Realm of True Nothingness, he may directly face a powerful being from the Fifth Realm.
It seems, he will have to be extremely careful.
Otherwise, a single mistake could result in fatal consequences.
Fortunately, his trip to the Ancient Cave, and the Destruction Spear in his Earth Seal Space, has significantly increased his power. Even if he faces a Fifth Realm being, he may still have a chance.
Furthermore, there is his Ghost Servant.
Thinking about his Ghost Servant, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel moved.
The Ghost Servant's strength has now reached the peak perfection state of the Fourth Realm, and he has cultivated the Chapter of Goodness from the Scripture of God Transformation. Now, he can be considered ready to step into the Fifth Realm.
Next, choosing what type of Power Seed to absorb will have to be based on the Chapter of Goodness in the Scripture of God Transformation.
Xiao Mu doesn't know what type of Power Seed the Chapter of Goodness requires yet.
Fortunately, he and the Ghost Princess have an agreement, and he can ask her about it when they meet.
The strange energy particles required by the Ghost Servant, to a large extent, should oppose those required by the Ghost Princess.
As for Xiao Mu himself, he doesn't need to worry about which secret manual to cultivate after entering the Fifth Realm. After absorbing the strange energy particles, he can think of ways to mutate them.
It would be best, of course, if he could obtain top tier strange energy particles like Creation Power or Hongmeng Power. He would certainly not disdain Yin Yang Power either.
After seeing off Du Kuang, Xiao Mu began to plan for his upcoming journey to the Realm of True Nothingness again.
He's not too concerned about facing the powerful beings from the human world; unless there's a massive conflict of interest, typically human Mutated Beings would not easily engage in conflicts with each other.
What he's more concerned with are the powerful beings of the Greenfin Clan, Zombies, and Evil Ghosts.
He doesn't pay much attention to general Mutated Beings, the only ones he cares about are the Fifth Realm beings who voluntarily decrease their cultivation to re-enter the Realm of True Nothingness for the second or even multiple times.
Even if such powerful beings have regressed, and fallen back to the Fourth Realm, he must not be complacent at all.
