High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 797 - 402: Wang Zilu and Chen Zilu? Extreme Terror (Part 4)

Initially, the seven colors were perceived by him as mere unusual energy.

However, after dedicating days to cultivation, Jiang Ye distinctly felt that the seven-hued energy actually originated from the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth!

The Power of Heaven and Earth within the grand hall was exceptionally dense, owing to the presence of this seven-colored energy.

But aren't the Basic Mysteries of Heaven and Earth only five in number?

Logically, the energy should manifest as five colors.

"Why are there seven colors?" Jiang Ye scrutinized the two additional forms of energy, experiencing sensations that were both familiar and foreign.

This presented a significant contradiction.

At this precise moment.

"The other two are the Harmonizing Agents of heaven and earth," Bai Gui's voice suddenly resonated within Jiang Ye's mind.

"Harmonizing Agents?" Jiang Ye was startled.

"Indeed."

"These two Harmonizing Agents serve to balance the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth," Bai Gui explained. "The genesis of numerous laws also depends upon them."

Balance of heaven and earth? The birth of laws?

The more Jiang Ye listened, the more his confusion grew: "Senior Bai Gui, what exactly do you mean by balance?"

"All phenomena in the universe are composed of the Five Great Basic Mysteries."

"However, in the operational flow of heaven and earth, the composition of these Five Great Mysteries is not uniform," Bai Gui elucidated. "Consider the ocean; it accumulates a substantial volume of the Mystery of Water, leading to a severe imbalance in the other four Mysteries. If left unchecked, it could readily transform into a colossal tsunami, annihilating all in its path."

"Consequently, it is in such circumstances that Harmonizing Agents become necessary to restore equilibrium."

"Thus, gravity arises from this very necessity," Bai Gui stated with certainty. "Gravity acts as a Harmonizing Agent of heaven and earth, firmly anchoring the ocean and preventing its unbridled expansion."

A sudden wave of understanding washed over Jiang Ye.

Gravity, it turns out, is a Harmonizing Agent of heaven and earth!

For an instant, a multitude of insights flooded Jiang Ye's consciousness, and his mind became remarkably clear.

Yet, soon after, Jiang Ye's expression shifted back to one of bewilderment: "But why are there two types of Harmonizing Agents?"

"It's quite straightforward."

"Harmonizing Agents often represent the most extreme principles within heaven and earth, much like gravity," Bai Gui remarked calmly. "Therefore, to achieve balance, heaven and earth necessitate a corresponding extreme principle, such as repulsion."

"Naturally."

"Gravity and repulsion are not the actual designations for the Harmonizing Agents."

"Within the original White Dragon Civilization, my master referred to these two Harmonizing Agents as 'Reality' and 'Void,'" Bai Gui revealed. "However, certain civilizations also identify them as 'Light' and 'Dark.'"

Jiang Ye held his breath.

These concepts were entirely novel to him, akin to unlocking the gateway to an entirely new realm of understanding.

"Light and Dark?" Jiang Ye inquired, his curiosity piqued. "What is their connection to gravity and repulsion?"

"You misunderstand."

"Light signifies ascension, while Dark represents descent," Bai Gui corrected, shaking his head. "These two principles are the most extreme laws governing the universe and can correspond to all extreme laws."

Jiang Ye grasped the concept and then drew a deep breath.

These revelations profoundly altered his perception of the universe.

"Isn't it astonishing?" Bai Gui chuckled. "The universe is immense, perpetually filled with unforeseen elements, yet every facet adheres to a logical explanation."

Jiang Ye gave a slight nod.

In the face of the universe's grandeur, even gods seemed insignificant.

The mechanics of heaven and earth operated with meticulous precision, governed by their own inherent rules... This realization sparked a cascade of profound insights within Jiang Ye's mind.

"Can these two Harmonizing Agents, Light and Dark, be comprehended?" Jiang Ye mused, a novel thought taking root.

According to Bai Gui's explanation.

These Harmonizing Agents represented the ultimate extreme principles of the universe. To comprehend them would mean mastering the most formidable extreme powers?

Furthermore, they were essential facilitators for the emergence of laws.

Upon contemplating this, Jiang Ye felt as though he had stumbled upon the threshold of a new world, arousing a flutter of excitement within him.

"Hmm?"

"You aren't contemplating the comprehension of these two Harmonizing Agents, are you?" Bai Gui seemed to perceive his intentions. "I strongly advise against it."

"Why is that?" Jiang Ye's face registered clear confusion.

"Have you considered that if you wish to tread this path, could others not harbor the same aspirations?" Bai Gui inquired, shaking his head with a faint smile. "Throughout recorded history, numerous exceptionally gifted individuals, much like yourself, have attempted to grasp the Harmonizing Agents known as 'Void' and 'Reality'."

"However, in the end."

"Without exception, they all met with enigmatic fates," Bai Gui stated with solemnity.

Jiang Ye listened intently, his breath catching in his throat.

Enigmatic fates? What precisely transpired?

He could sense Bai Gui's profound apprehension regarding this matter.

"No matter what, you should avoid attempting it without sufficient preparation." Bai Gui advised, "Unless you can secure the protection of a True God-level powerhouse."

"A True God to protect me?" Jiang Ye expressed his astonishment.

He couldn't help but let out a wry smile, finding Bai Gui's suggestion rather audacious.

The idea of a True God personally safeguarding him was almost laughable.

It was well-known that within the entirety of the Huanglong Civilization, a True God might not even exist. After all, the criteria for a civilization to reach level three was the presence of at least one True God.

A True God, when viewed against the backdrop of the colossal universe and the vastness of the Starry Sky, represented an ultimate force!

"However..."

"Since Bai Gui has advised as such," Jiang Ye mused internally, "I shall hold back from interacting with these two Harmonizing Agents for the time being."

Despite his decision, a part of Jiang Ye couldn't resist activating the Five Elements Fire, attempting to glean information about the two mysterious energies.

To his great surprise, the Five Elements Fire proved capable of making these energies discernible.

"This is!?"

"My Five Elements Fire can interact with the Harmonizing Agents?" Jiang Ye felt a surge of pleasant surprise, thinking, "As expected from the system!"

The creations of the system were truly exceptional!

Under the illumination of the Five Elements Fire, Jiang Ye could clearly distinguish the two streams of peculiar energy: one black and one white.

"What is this?"

"They're so exquisite, possessing a truly miraculous quality," Jiang Ye became instantly captivated, his fascination deepening as if under a spell.

Aided by the Five Elements Fire, Jiang Ye gained a profound understanding of the composition of the black and white energy streams.

They were intricately woven from an innumerable density of Dao patterns, each thread appearing as the most perfect manifestation of time, igniting an overwhelming sense of longing.

This yearning transcended the carnal and the spiritual, reaching a plane of existence entirely beyond ordinary comprehension.

It compelled every sentient being who beheld it to experience an insatiable desire!

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Ye was utterly lost in this state, finding it almost impossible to break free.

But precisely at this critical juncture.

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, Jiang Ye felt a jolt of realization.

An immense, indescribable terror gripped his heart, causing his Divine Soul to quiver and his skin to erupt in goosebumps.

This profound sensation immediately snapped him back to reality.

Following closely was Bai Gui's urgent cry, "Snap out of it!"

"My apologies..." Jiang Ye finally returned to his senses, his gaze slightly unfocused, asking, "What exactly transpired?"

"Phew~" Bai Gui exhaled a long, relieved breath.

"You have finally awakened," Bai Gui sighed. "You were lost in that perilous state for a full hundred days!"

"What?"

"A hundred days?" Jiang Ye's shock was palpable.
