Ye Hao quietly sat listening, and as he listened, it seemed as though he was about to attain enlightenment...

"What are Yin and Yang? They are at the extremes. The ultimate of Yin becomes Yang, and the ultimate of Yang becomes Yin. The combination of Yin and Yang is Tai Chi. Tai Chi is the origin. No matter how time changes or years pass, the world's origin remains so..." Zhang Ruochen spoke each word with a deliberate rhythm.

As Hu Yanhu and Xu Shaoyuan were listening, they started to nod off, occasionally lowering their heads to feign sleep.

Zhang Ruowu watched Xu Shaoyuan and the others with a chuckle. Initially, he had said the two were unsuitable for training in Wudang's Tai Chi because they lacked the right mindset. However, Tai Chi pursues the power of the origin, merely divided into Yin and Yang for deeper understanding.

Hearing Zhang Ruowu's laughter, Xu Shaoyuan felt embarrassed and said, "Well, senior, I don't understand."

"I don't get it either," Hu Yanhu expressed with speechlessness.

"Haha, if you two understood, wouldn't we be holding you up like treasures?" Zhang Ruowu laughed.

Xu Shaoyuan and the others gave bitter smiles, blaming their lack of Ye Hao's talents and opportunities.

They saw Ye Hao entering enlightenment immediately upon hearing Zhang Ruochen's words and were full of envy.

"We don't have the fortune of the boss, nor his natural gifts, and can only envy him!" Xu Shaoyuan said with a smile.

Zhang Ruowu also smiled but said nothing more.

He saw Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu fall silent and then went to meditate and circulate his cultivation technique—after all, having just escaped the realm of demonic possession, it was crucial to stabilize himself to prevent a drop in his level.

While Ye Hao was quietly in enlightenment, understanding what Zhang Ruochen said about Tai Chi, Zhang Ruochen did not hide anything from Ye Hao, revealing even some of Wudang's secrets.

Zhang Ruochen wasn't worried about Xu Shaoyuan and the others learning this because he trusted Ye Hao.

"Our Wudang heritage wasn't created by Ancestor Sanfeng during the Southern Song period; Tai Chi originates from an era so distant it's untraceable. From Tai Chi, Ancestor Sanfeng comprehended Tai Chi boxing, Tai Chi pushing hands, the technique of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, borrowing strength to return it, turning the millstones barehanded, transforming Yin and Yang, creating endless cycles, living and rebirthing, dying and reviving..."

"Meditate well! Don't worry about how much time has passed, and don't pursue speedy success; Tai Chi is the origin, and with the origin, you attain longevity." Zhang Ruochen comforted Ye Hao, like soothing a child to sleep.

Ye Hao remained in quiet meditation without opening his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen stepped off the ice bed, looked at Xu Shaoyuan and the others, saying, "Haha, no need to worry about him, let's go outside!"

"Alright, senior, how did you come here?" Xu Shaoyuan asked as they went out with Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "For someone at this level, if you only meditate and cultivate endlessly, you'd be stuck here for life. Of course! If you could attain enlightenment of another grand path in life, perhaps you could soar directly to another level of power, but it's difficult!" expressed Zhang Ruochen with helplessness.

Currently, breaking into a new realm was also made possible by Ye Hao's help; otherwise, who knows when it would be possible.

"Hey, senior, what level are you at?" Hu Yanhu was curious about Zhang Ruochen's strength.

Zhang Ruochen merely waved his hand, smiling, and said, "What you should know, I'll tell you. What you shouldn't, no matter if you ask, the old way won't tell."

"Alright then!" Hu Yanhu spread his hands with resignation.

He thought to himself, why do these older generations love playing this game? What shouldn't be known, and what should?

Xu Shaoyuan also mentally grumbled, thinking how his grandfather was just like Zhang Ruochen, unwilling to say anything and only told him that he'd understand after reaching the tenth level of National Martial Arts.

"Don't be dissatisfied; you're really not suited to know. Life is similar to progression; things naturally come together..."

"If they don't, wouldn't you be left dry on the beach?" Hu Yanhu muttered quietly.

Zhang Ruochen laughed at this remark about the young folks...

Shortly after they left, Zhang Ruowu followed them out, leaving Ye Hao alone in the cave to contemplate quietly.

Three days later...

Thurston Island calmed down, no longer as lively as before.

Now, people from all over the world had left Thurston Island, leaving only Xu Shaoyuan and a few others, making it impossible to stir up excitement even if they tried.

Indeed, what Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu spoke of was too fantastical, entirely beyond their understanding.

Ye Hao woke up leisurely after three days of enlightenment. Upon awakening, he felt even the air seemed different, no longer merely bright and clear.

Instead, it was filled with colors, as if the world had changed significantly from before...

"What's going on?" Ye Hao rubbed his eyes, muttering to himself.

However, when he lowered his hands, the scene returned to how he usually saw the world.

"What's happening again?" Ye Hao looked on in confusion, feeling immensely perplexed, as if someone were playing a trick.

Despite thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked Qianqian, who gave him a vague answer mentioning elements and such.

He was left without choice but to step outside.

Outside, he saw a large pit, covered with a thick layer of white snow, and thought to himself that Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu had played pretty big a few days ago! The only downside was that they hadn't managed to blow all the enemies up...

If people from other countries knew of Ye Hao's thoughts, who knows if they'd stop at nothing, even igniting a third world war, to take him out?

Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Ruowu were sitting in the snow, and seeing Ye Hao come out, Zhang Ruochen laughed and asked, "How is it?"

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's voice, Ye Hao finally realized he was right there sitting in front of him...

Was his skill really that superior? Ye Hao was sure he hadn't noticed Zhang Ruochen and the others at first.

He only knew Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanhu were sleeping in the heating bags five meters away.

Ye Hao walked forward and said, "Master, Tai Chi is so profound."

"Haha, if it weren't profound, how could Wudang have been passed down for so many years?" Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Then Zhang Ruowu stood up and said, "Disciples, Senior Brother Ruochen has taught you Tai Chi, let me demonstrate by teaching you Tai Chi boxing!"

Ye Hao nodded at this and smiled, "I've always been quite fascinated by Wudang's Tai Chi boxing."

"Then let's proceed!" Zhang Ruowu walked to the flat snowy ground, intending to teach Ye Hao Tai Chi boxing, otherwise, he always felt indebted to Ye Hao.

It's the case of bringing such great gifts, fearing being unable to repay them!

"Master, wait a moment. Since Master Ruochen managed to become youthful again, surely we can't let you remain an old man," Ye Hao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruowu turned to look at Ye Hao excitedly...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
