Chapter 29: Dual Energy! Second Update

  Under the leadership of Jiugong Princess, Tang Lin and the others entered the grand gate of the Holy Temple. As they looked around, they saw building after building made of white jade, filled with a sense of elegance and serenity.

  "In the holy temple, there are nine sub-towers." The Ninth Princess smiled at Tang Lin and said: "At the very top of each sub-tower lives a saint, while the lower levels are where we semi-saint students live."

  Tang Lin looked at these ivory-like buildings and exclaimed: "Are these the places where the Holy Halls are cultivated?"

  "Hmm." The Ninth Princess nodded and said, "These nine towers were built according to the Nine Great Basic Energy Essences. When you first enter the Holy Temple, an elder will take you to the Energy Spirit Monument to test your physical attributes. Everyone's body has a tendency towards certain attributes, like me, I tend towards the Light attribute."

  "Radiance......" Tang Lin looked at her and felt she was like a radiant lamp.

  "I'll be at Guangming Temple, if anything happens, you can come find me." The Ninth Princess said softly: "I'll take you to see the elder first."

  Tang Lin nodded.

  Following the Ninth Princess, Tang Lin silently recited the word "Light" in his heart. Suddenly, as if he had an epiphany, he gazed towards the distant nine exquisite buildings, and the middle one caught his attention - its white jade walls symbolized the beacon of the Light Division.

  The rest of the buildings, some are bright red like fire, and some are deep blue like ice, all with different attribute colors, extremely easy to distinguish.

  At this time, Princess Jiū brought Tang Lin to a grand hall in the palace. The guards at the entrance saluted Princess Jiū and allowed the two of them to enter.

  The grand hall was built with a resplendent golden and blue-green color, with many famous ancient paintings on the walls. An old man in a green robe stood in front of one of the paintings, gazing at it.

  "Su Lao". The Ninth Princess called out repeatedly.

  The old man in green robe turned his head and looked at the Ninth Princess. A smile appeared on his face, saying: "You little girl, how do you have time to come over today?"

  The ninth princess's face turned slightly red as she said, "I've brought someone with me, and it's because they want to join the Holy Temple."

  "Oh?" Su Lao looked at Tang Lin beside him, his eyes lit up slightly and said: "So young, yet already a half-saint. His talent is really not bad!"

  Tang Lin smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting: "I've seen Elder Su."

  "Hmm. You were brought by Ninth Princess, no need to investigate your identity, follow me. I'll take you to test the spirit." Su Elder smiled and led the way.

  Behind the wall in the great hall, a door opened, and a narrow passageway appeared. Tang Lin and Ninth Princess walked in together. Behind this passageway was another world, a vast stone platform with walls inlaid with night pearls as large as dragon eyes, illuminating the place like daylight.

  And on top of the stone platform is a white jade-colored stone tablet.

  "Put your hand on the stele." Su Lao said to Tang Lin, "As soon as a person is born, they possess the five elements and seven souls! The body contains innate five-element energy. When this five-element energy reaches balance, the human body will be stable; otherwise, it will fall ill."

  "The four great energies of the day after tomorrow are divided into wind, thunder, light and darkness."

  "Although everyone has the innate five elements and the acquired four abilities, each person's body tends to have one kind of energy. A small number of people may tend towards two kinds of energy. The Ling Qi Bei can test which type of energy you tend towards."

  Listening to Su Zong's words, Tang Lin couldn't help but nod his head. He had heard of this knowledge from the Book of Poetry, only it wasn't as in-depth as Su Zong's explanation.

  He walked up to the stone monument, took a deep breath, and then placed his palm on it, the icy sensation sending shivers down his spine.

  A moment later, Tang Lin felt a surge of suction emanating from the stone tablet, as if it was drawing out some kind of energy from within him.

  Then a thick black aura emerged from the stone monument.

  "It's dark energy." Su Elder nodded slightly and said, "There aren't many people with dark energy, but there are still some."

  However, before he could finish speaking, a white glow suddenly appeared on the surface of the stone monument. This white light was holy and dazzling, intertwined with black energy, like two balls, one black and one white, rotating around the monument.

  Su Zong stared with wide eyes, "Dual energies? And they're Light and Darkness?"

  Tang Lin was also taken aback.

  "It's actually dual energy." Su Zong sighed and said, "It's rare to meet someone with dual energy. In the entire Holy Hall, only a few people have dual energy."

  Tang Lin withdrew his palm and hastily asked: "Will the dual energies be even stronger?"

  "It's hard to say." Su Elder shook his head and said, "In theory, dual energies should be stronger than single energy, but it's difficult for people with dual energies to cultivate, especially when some energies are mutually exclusive. Like you, who has a tendency towards opposing light and darkness, generally speaking, your future prospects won't be too good."

  Tang Lin's face was full of astonishment.

  "It's hard to say about cultivation." Elder Su sighed lightly: "When you cultivate, perhaps you will understand then."

  Tang Lin smiled bitterly and nodded.

  The Ninth Princess comforted Tang Lin, saying: "I heard Father Emperor say that people with dual energy tendencies are all very weak at the beginning, but after cultivating for several thousand years, they will become extremely powerful, don't lose heart."

  "For thousands of years..." Tang Lin's mouth was bitter.

  He finally understood that this pair of energy tendencies was a slow burn, and he himself was the opposing energies of light and darkness...

  Elder Su smiled and said, "I'll help you with the formalities. From now on, you can freely enter the Dark Tower and the Light Tower. There will be teachers inside to guide you on how to cultivate energy and some energy control techniques."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  At once, Tang Lin took the two tokens given by Su Zong and followed the Ninth Princess out of the main hall. The two tokens were black and white, each carved with a large character: Holy!

  "Don't be discouraged, just work hard and you will definitely succeed." The Ninth Princess comforted Tang Lin in a soft voice.

  Tang Lin heard her voice and more than half of the gloom in his heart dissipated. He cracked a smile, saying: "I will try my best."

  The ninth princess smiled faintly.

  The two arrived outside the Guangming Temple, a majestic and towering giant. Several people came out from inside, saw Jiugongzhu, and all smiled and greeted her.

  The Ninth Princess is a saint!

  Living on the top floor of Guangming Building.

  These people saw Jiugong Princess and were all very respectful. After all, although everyone is a demigod, it's hard to say whether they can become saints in this life or not.

  Some people's lifespan is about to end and they cannot become saints.

  "Each of the separate towers is divided into three areas: the first is a bedroom for sleeping, the second is a 'spiritual domain' for cultivation, and the third is a 'martial battlefield'."

  The Ninth Princess led Tang Lin into the partitioned tower, where there was a large hall. Next to it was a sandalwood staircase that went straight up to the second floor.

  "The sign of the bedroom is written on the back of your token. You have a bedroom in both the Bright Division Tower and the Dark Division Tower. The Spiritual Domain Field, where spiritual power is cultivated, is located on the third floor. And the Martial Battle Arena is on the second floor."

  "In the temple, no duels are prohibited and everyone is encouraged to duel, so it's common for someone to be challenged or challenge others."

  The Ninth Princess brought Tang Lin to the martial arts battlefield on the second floor.

  Only four large battle platforms were seen, very wide and spacious, each covered with a layer of transparent energy. Tang Lin knew that after reaching the Half-Saint level, the destructive power caused by battles was too great. If several Half-Saints really fought, the entire tower would probably be destroyed.

  And this energy cover should be an array method.

  At this moment, by the edge of the battlefield. Someone was moving, Tang Lin took a glance around and estimated that there were three or four people. He was secretly shocked in his heart, not expecting that there would be so many members of the Holy Temple.

  "There were three or four before leaving the house. There are also three or four here, a Bright Division Tower, I estimate there are over ten people, nine division towers add up to one or two hundred."

  Tang Lin made a quick calculation in his mind and immediately felt the accumulation of thousands of years of the Cang Xue Dynasty. The people gathered here were all extraordinary talents born from the long history of the Cang Xue Dynasty, with some having lived for over a thousand years.

  Is it just a holy temple? What about the Moon God's pavilion?

  "I'll take you to the Spiritual Domain Field." The Ninth Princess obviously had no interest in this place and brought Tang Lin to the third floor.

  Tang Lin raised his eyes and looked over.

  Only on this third floor is a vast expanse of white empty space without any walls, only ten three-zhang-high ancient bronze stele.

  "These are bronze ancient steles, capable of tempering spiritual power." The Ninth Princess said to Tang Lin: "After reaching the Half-Saint realm, the distinction between strength and weakness all depends on spiritual power."

  "According to the classification, the limit of a Half-Sage is exactly 100 stones of spiritual power!"

  "A hundred stone?" Tang Lin wondered.

  "After the semi-sage, spiritual power can be emitted externally, controlling wind, fire, water, and electricity. These all belong to energy, which is very light, but control is very difficult. As for physical objects, they are stones, large trees, people, weapons, etc., which are all very heavy."

  "The heavier the thing you can control, the stronger your spiritual power is." The Ninth Princess said.

  Tang Lin's mind was intelligent and wise, and he immediately understood.

  According to the weight unit of the Cang Xue Dynasty, 24 liangs make up one tael, 16 taels make up one jin, 30 jins make up one jun, and 40 juns make up one dan!

  It is said that the war god draws his bow and can shoot with a force of one thousand jun, where "jun" refers to the tension of the bow reaching one thousand jun.

  It works out like this.

  12,000 catties is equal to one picul!

  The limit of human brain is to lift a hundred-stone thing with spiritual power.

  Tang Lin was secretly shocked in his heart.

  Imagine a hundred stones being equivalent to a small mountain. Directly using spiritual power to uproot the small mountain and fight, what kind of shock is this!

  "No wonder, legend has it that a saint can destroy the heavens and earth, shake mountains and cut off rivers." Tang Lin's heart surged with a wave of hot blood, "I don't know, how much spiritual power I have now."

  "Mental strength and holy body both require gradual tempering." The Ninth Princess said to Tang Lin, "I'll take you to test how strong your mental strength is."

  Tang Lin nodded heavily.

  The Ninth Princess immediately took Tang Lin to the fourth floor.

  Tang Lin looked around and found that there was a Scripture Pavilion, a Testing Palace and other grand halls here.

  The Ninth Princess led Tang Lin into the Testing Hall, this grand hall was decorated very simply, there were no people around, in the center stood a bronze tripod cauldron, inside which many pitch-black iron balls were placed.

  "These iron balls have all been weighed, a ten-jin one the size of a fist. You control your spiritual power and see if you can lift it." The Ninth Princess waved her hand, and several black iron balls floated out of the bronze tripod, falling in front of Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin gazed at it for a moment, then exerted his own spiritual power, focusing on the black iron ball and manipulating one of them to slowly pull upwards.

  The first one floated up.

  ……

  The guy behind took a stimulant, opened a single chapter, and directly exploded several people, also exploding Lao Gu, falling back to ninth place. Pit, brothers, just a few votes short of catching up!!! RQ
