“Eyes that hold the stars… Could this be the secret of the Morning Star?”
Lu Yu watched the scene unfold, pondering the true meaning behind the concept of the Morning Star. However, the starlight within Li Cheng’s eyes lasted only a fleeting moment before vanishing like a shooting star.
Slowly rising to his feet, Li Cheng’s gaze fell on the unconscious Ghost Bear lying on the ground. His vast experience quickly allowed him to deduce the sequence of events.
“This must be because that fool thought he had been betrayed and recklessly said something he shouldn’t have,” he sighed inwardly. Upon confirming that Ghost Bear’s qi and blood were merely in disarray, Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Bowing deeply towards Lu Yu, his face alight with emotion, he said:
“Sir, you saw through the principles of the Yin-Yang Duality Path at a single glance and directly pointed out the truth of mutual generation and transformation between presence and absence, difficulty and ease.
“Presence and absence are opposites, as are difficulty and ease. In essence, presence leads to absence at its extreme, and vice versa. The same applies to yin and yang. Every phenomenon has its counterpart. A shift in perspective produces entirely different outcomes.
“Previously, I was fixated on increasing their destructive power, never considering expanding their limits and enabling mutual transformation between the two. Now, my bottleneck has shattered, my spiritual sense has ascended, and I have successfully advanced to the mid-level of the Morning Star tier. The debt I owe you is immeasurable.

Could this be the cultivation system of this world?
Listening to Li Cheng’s explanation left Lu Yu utterly bewildered. While he was familiar with the concept of yin and yang—after all, no Chinese person would be unaware of the Taiji theory—he had no idea what an “instrumental path” was. Was it different from a ritual?

Li Cheng and the others nodded solemnly. “We bid you farewell, Senior. If your protégé needs anything, just call the number on the card. It’s my private line.”
Beside him, Ma Yang also handed over a card, humbly adding, “I’m willing to offer any modest assistance I can.”
Xu Xiaoqing earnestly said, “I still owe you 99,999 spirit coins. Just one call, and I’ll be there immediately!”
Lu Yu’s gaze briefly lingered on her impressive figure, but the thought quickly veered towards less appropriate territory. Shaking off these musings, he inclined his head slightly and walked out of the courtyard. Passing through the now-silent night market, under the reverent gazes of everyone present, he gradually melted into the darkness of the street, disappearing completely.
Tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The King in Yellow was bound to become a nightmare for many.
