Chapter 945: Chapter 55: Refining Heaven and Earth into Yin Yang, Few Names Endure Through History (Part 2)

Unlike Ye Ze’an, there is no threat in terms of martial strength.

So how could the Crown Prince not be wary?

“The potential issues with Marquis Jing’an, Your Majesty must have considered as well, but that night when the Imperial Decree was announced, Your Majesty still summoned Marquis Jing’an to the palace to listen in. Why does Your Majesty trust him so much?”

Sui Zihua asked.

Crown Prince: “Perhaps because of Li Fei’s performance in that battle against the Northern Barbarians, which completely earned him Father’s trust.”

“Hmm.”

Sui Zihua nodded.

The Crown Prince suddenly laughed and said: “Or perhaps, like those ‘heroic rulers’ recorded in the history books, Father has enough courage to delegate power and does not doubt those he employs!”

Sui Zihua also laughed and proactively poured a cup of wine for the Crown Prince:

“I believe, Your Highness, that you will also become such a heroic ruler in the future.”

“Hahaha!”

The Crown Prince laughed heartily, raised his cup, and drank it all in one go, already showing signs of intoxication:

“When I was young, reading the history books, I often thought that the heroes and mighty figures in them were no big deal, and most princes and ministers were mediocre! If it were me, I would certainly do this and that.

Now, having actually reached this position, I realize how difficult it is. Zihua, perhaps many years from now, I will be just another ‘no big deal’ and ‘mediocre’ in others’ words.”

Sui Zihua was silent for a moment, looking at the Crown Prince, her gaze as gentle as water:

“Among the heroes of the world crossing the river, few leave their names in the history books. No matter what, Your Highness will surely have a lasting record in them.”

The Crown Prince exchanged a glance with her, a smile appearing on his face.

The rain outside the window fell harder and harder, the two silhouettes on the paper screen eventually huddling together.

…

January 5th.

The day after the conflict broke out between Li Fei and Xiao Xiuyong.

Someone took a Flying Escape Magic Tool to Datong Prefecture City and delivered the Xiao Family’s compensation to Li Fei:

Lin Tianyi’s notes, three pieces of Level 6 Protective Clothing, ten bottles of Spirit Heart Pill.

Li Fei accepted everything, even the additional items.

Since the Xiao Family took the initiative to lower their head, he was not going to be overbearing and accepted their goodwill gesture.

Of course, if the Xiao Family tried to test him again over the Lu Family matters, as he said—there would be no next time.

When it came to avenging Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao, he would not spare anyone’s face!

After obtaining Lin Tianyi’s notes, Li Fei treated them as a treasure and immediately began reading.

On a small mountain where Shi Caiming lived, in a little house within a courtyard, Li Fei was engrossed in the notes in his hand.

Not wanting to be disturbed, he temporarily stayed in this courtyard with Shi Caiming’s permission, occasionally asking him questions about cultivation.

“… Are the Martial Artist’s Martial Arts Domain and the Magician’s Lifebound Magic Items constructed from arrays fundamentally different despite both being composed of Divine Skills?

To clarify this issue, it is necessary to understand the distinction between Martial Arts Implants and Magic Implants.

From observing Xiao Tonghe’s notes, I have gained insight:

Heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang, and by this division, Martial Arts Implants are predominantly Yang, whereas Magic Implants are predominantly Yin.

Applying this ‘Yin Yang Division Method’, one can generally distinguish between Martial Arts Divine Skills and Magic Divine Skills. Therefore, Magic and Martial Unity, appearing as if two paths merge, is, in essence, a Yin Yang Unity, subtly aligned with the Tao!”

By the lamplight, Li Fei carefully browsed Lin Tianyi’s notes.

The notes mentioned a person—Xiao Tonghe.

Without needing to investigate, Li Fei guessed that this person must be from the ‘Changliu Xiao Family’.

Further, considering that a copy of these notes was ultimately left with the Xiao Family, Li Fei speculated that back when Lin Tianyi was still a Great Grandmaster and top-level True Man, to perfect the Way of Magic and Martial Unity, he must have sought many ‘Wisdoms of the Dao’ and borrowed related secret manuals and materials.

After all, the path of Magic and Martial Unity has been studied for a thousand years, leaving behind many valuable records.

Back then, Lin Tianyi probably borrowed an important note from the Xiao Family, owing them a favor, which is why he wrote down his cultivation insights and left a copy for the Xiao Family.

The reason the Xiao Family handed over the notes to Li Fei so readily this time was likely to show Li Fei that—our Xiao Family has connections with that World’s Number One!

Li Fei didn’t care about this; what he truly cared about was the content written in Lin Tianyi’s notes:

“Martial Arts are Yang, Magic is Yin, and the essence of Magic and Martial Unity is Yin Yang Combination?”

Upon seeing this, he suddenly felt a burst of enlightenment, an ‘Aha’ moment of being suddenly illuminated!

If he hadn’t read that book of Lin Tianyi’s notes in the Royal Book Collection Pavilion, if he hadn’t read the ‘Magic and Martial Union Practical Examination’ that the Crown Prince lent him, when Li Fei saw this part, he would at most think it made some sense and consider it a theoretical speculation.

But with the foundation laid by the previous two notes, upon seeing what Lin Tianyi wrote, many of Li Fei’s doubts and the numerous ‘mysteries’ encountered on the path of Magic and Martial Unity found answers!

Just these few words gave Li Fei a sense of sudden realization!

In the notes Li Fei saw earlier, Lin Tianyi only classified the Heart and Spirit Power on the Martial Arts Side and the Spiritual Power on the Magic Side as Yin and Yang.

In this note, he went a step further to directly classify Martial Arts and Magic from their essence as Yin and Yang!

This made Li Fei admire this World’s Number One a bit more.

Not just about imagination or creativity, the other person, through numerous actual ‘cases’, along with his own hands-on experiments, exploration, used talent and intellect far surpassing predecessors to deduce the point of ‘Yin Yang Division Method’!

Without those previous efforts and attempts, the ‘Yin Yang Division Method’ would always be a castle in the air and exist only in speculation.

Moreover, Li Fei himself had ‘cases’ that could prove this point within him:
