Xu Chunniang couldn't help laughing and looked at the scorpion woman with a smile.
"Just now, when the swallow fish jumped into the lake, you watched her sink. Aren't you afraid that if you jump into the lake later, you will also suffer the same fate as her?"
"I'm not afraid."
Recalling the countless times she had escaped death over the years, the Scorpion Woman had an almost blind confidence in Xu Chunniang, believing that as long as there were adults around, there would be no fatal danger.
"Okay, now that you're ready, let's get started."
Xu Chunniang pulled the scorpion woman over and walked towards the lake.
The lake water covered the bodies of the two people. An inexplicable pulling force came from the bottom of the lake, pulling the two people towards the bottom of the lake.
The Scorpion Woman had not yet recovered her power and could not hold her breath in the water for too long. She soon felt a despairing feeling of suffocation.
But at this moment, a long breath flowed into the Scorpion Woman's mouth and nose, relieving the feeling of oppression in her chest.
By the time the Scorpion Woman came to her senses, she had already been pulled to the bottom of the lake by the suction force.
There is a huge hole at the bottom of the lake. All the lake water gathers here and flows to various places in the lake, circulating over and over again, with a peculiar rhythm.
The Scorpion Woman stared at the flowing waves with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
"Sir, is this hole formed naturally? These water flows look amazing."
Xu Chunniang smiled and walked closer to the pit, her eyes calm and composed.
"The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars flow, and all things repeat themselves. The ups and downs are all the laws of the Tao."
The Scorpion Woman felt that she understood some of it, but she also felt that she didn’t understand anything, “So this pit is also a Taoist method?”
Xu Chunniang's smile deepened. "Yes, everything in the world is transformed by Taoism. I understood this principle a long time ago, but only today did I completely understand the laws of Taoism."
As she spoke, she stretched out a hand, feeling the gentle force of the water as it passed over her fingertips.
When Yin and Yang interact, movement and stillness combine; when Yin and Yang separate, heaven and earth come into being.
Everything in the world is transformed by yin and yang, and she has already understood this.
Today I went into the lake on purpose to observe the direction and rise and fall of the water level in the lake, just to verify my guess.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her hand and looked at the Scorpion Woman.
"I plan to leave Spirit Demon Island and return to the Spirit World ahead of time. Will you go to the Spirit World with me, or will you return to the Demon World with other demon cultivators in a few years?"
The Scorpion Woman said without hesitation, "Of course I will follow you, my Lord. Wherever you go, I will go."
"You have to think clearly. The spirit world is different from the demon world. Once you go to the spirit world, you may never be able to return to the demon world in this lifetime. Even if you cannot adapt to the environment of the spirit world, you will be forced to stay there."
After a pause, Xu Chunniang continued, "Besides, I'm in the spirit world and have my own things to do. I'm very likely not able to take care of you. Even so, do you still want to go to the spirit world with me?"
The Scorpion Woman shrugged indifferently, "I've long been tired of staying in Demon Cloud Continent. There's no energy at all. I've long wanted to leave there. My Lord once said that the Spirit World is a beautiful place, and I also want to go there to broaden my horizons."
Seeing that the scorpion woman had made up her mind, Xu Chunniang did not persuade her any further, "In that case, then you should go with me."
After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed towards the pit in front of her. The water in the pit began to swirl in a peculiar pattern, connecting head and tail and slowly merging together.
This scene looks mysterious and natural, as if they were born that way, and were separated only because of some accident that happened later.
For a moment, the Scorpion Woman was stunned.
"It's so magical. Not long ago, I only felt the laws of water and earth at the bottom of the lake. Now it feels like a mixture of the five elements, but it seems to be more than that...
Could it be that this is the law of yin and yang?"
When she thought of this, the Scorpion Woman was shocked. She was no longer the newbie who had just come into contact with the power of laws. She knew the importance of the Yin-Yang law among all laws.
As long as you understand the law of yin and yang, it is only a matter of time to understand other laws.
"Yes, this is the complete Yin-Yang law."
Xu Chunniang's lips curled up into a smile. No wonder she always felt that something was missing when she deduced the changing patterns of other laws. It turned out that the Yin-Yang Law that she had comprehended before was incomplete.
The water flow connected from beginning to end, and after circling for a few weeks, it connected with the void, creating a channel out of thin air.
Xu Chunniang looked at the Scorpion Woman and confirmed for the last time, "Once you choose this path, there is no way to regret it."
The Scorpion Woman thought about it, took a few steps forward and stepped into the passage, "My Lord once said that there is no need to regret the path you have taken."
Xu Chunniang smiled with relief, followed the Scorpion Woman and stepped into the passage.
The next moment, the passage closed silently, and the two figures disappeared into the passage one after another.
I had just walked a few steps in the passage when suddenly, there was a bright light ahead.
The Scorpion Woman hadn't recovered yet, and said with a vigilant look on her face, "The void is always dark, but it's suddenly so bright. Could it be that we have encountered some difficult beasts?"
Xu Chunniang smiled and motioned for her to relax, "The spirit world is ahead."
The Scorpion Woman was shocked, "What? So fast?"
They had only been in the passage for a short time, and she couldn't believe that they had reached the spirit world so quickly.
"Once you understand yin and yang, you will understand the laws of time and space. Even if you are separated by three thousand continents, you will be able to reach your destination in an instant."
The Scorpion Woman's eyes were shining, and her face showed excitement and anticipation. She didn't even bother to take a closer look at the scenery of the spiritual world.
"It can actually span time and space? The Yin-Yang Law is too powerful! If I master the Yin-Yang Law, can't I go back to the past?"
Xu Chunniang nodded. "In principle, it is feasible, but everything in the world has its destiny. Even if you travel through time, you cannot change what has already happened."
The Scorpion Woman frowned and thought for a moment, "I don't quite understand, if I can go back to the past, why can't I change what has already happened?"
"Because it is you who transcend time, not your past self. Similarly, even if you traveled a thousand years into the future, you would not be able to interfere with your future self.
You must remember that the past cannot be changed. As a monk, the only thing you can change is the present."
The Scorpion Woman nodded, not quite understanding, "I'll remember that!"
"Okay, now that you have arrived in the spirit world, the first step you need to take is to transform all of your demonic energy into spiritual energy."
As she spoke, Xu Chunniang took out a blank jade piece, imprinted the method of converting between demonic energy and spiritual energy into it, and added some basic common sense about the spiritual world.
"This jade piece is equivalent to the bone piece in the demon world. You should go into seclusion first. Before you transform the demonic energy into spiritual energy, do not come out and walk around outside at will."
