Chapter 259 - 147: Source Energy Tide, Restrictions Lifted
"Liao Yang, ten points deducted!"
At that moment, everyone snapped back to reality.
Their every move was under the constant surveillance of the instructors. Any action could be recorded and directly affect their academic credits.
With this cautionary tale, no one dared to rush for quick results again.
Everyone obediently closed their eyes and sat quietly, beginning to earnestly comprehend the Sensing Method taught by Lin Hanshan.
The entire Martial Arts Hall once again fell into a deep silence.
「Over an hour later.」
Lin Ye slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He had mentally gone over the general principles and sensing secrets of the *Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding* several times. The parts that were once obscure and difficult to grasp had now become clear.
He opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Hanshan on the lecture platform.
He noticed that although the old man’s eyes were closed, his attention seemed to be faintly fixed on him.
Lin Ye paid it no mind. He assumed the proper posture and officially began his first attempt at sensing.
Seeing Lin Ye’s conduct, Lin Hanshan nodded to himself in approval.
’A solid foundation, a calm and steady temperament, neither hasty nor impatient. He’s good material for cultivation.’
Lin Ye’s mind gradually emptied.
The sound of breathing around him, the flow of the air, and even his own physical senses were all cast aside in this moment.
His world descended into pure darkness and nothingness.
Soon, countless minute points of light began to emerge from the darkness.
Red, cyan, yellow, white, and black.
The five-colored points of light, like billions of fireflies, swirled around him, forming a breathtakingly brilliant ocean of particles.
This was a sight he was all too familiar with.
According to the principles of the *Five Qi Guiding Formulas*, the Source Energy Particles of the world were divided into the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
But now, what Lin Ye had to do was completely overturn the foundation he had relied on for his cultivation and re-examine the world from a completely new perspective.
This was not easy.
It was equivalent to personally demolishing a foundation he had already built, only to drive new piles all over again.
Lin Ye focused his mind, casting aside the previous five-element theory of source energy while simultaneously beginning to reclassify the particles according to the method of the *Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding*.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Twenty-some minutes later, in Lin Ye’s perception, the multicolored ocean of source energy began to dim for the first time.
The five-element halos slowly dissipated, eventually vanishing completely into the endless sea of particles.
Then, a brand-new world slowly unfurled before him!
He discovered that the Source Energy Particles swirling around him were no longer distinguished by color, but by nature.
Countless points of light began to flicker erratically.
When his Spiritual Power lightly touched some particles, they sent back a bone-chilling cold, as if he had plunged into a frozen spring.
These were the Yin Qi Particles.
Other particles, however, felt like holding a red-hot piece of charcoal upon contact—searing and domineering.
These were the Yang Qi Particles.
At this moment, Lin Ye felt as though he was enveloped by a sea of source energy more vast and boundless than anything he had ever seen before.
His entire world opened up, as if the gates to a new world had burst open with a BOOM!
If, from the perceptive viewpoint of the *Five Qi Guiding Formulas*, the total number of Source Energy Particles he could absorb was ten thousand...
...then now, the total number of particles in his perception had at least tripled!
’An Earth-rank Cultivation Technique is truly extraordinary!’
As Lin Ye gradually grew accustomed to the perception of the *True Understanding of the Two Principles*, he also began to see something different in this ocean of Source Energy Particles.
Lin Ye saw vortexes of varying sizes.
The vast majority of them were small, like eddies in a river, slowly absorbing the scattered Source Energy Particles around them.
However, not far behind him, there was a gargantuan, super-sized vortex!
The vortex was so immense it occupied nearly a third of the entire Martial Arts Hall, forming a terrifying vacuum of energy.
Countless Yin Yang Particles were being pulled in and devoured, so fast that they formed streams of energy visible to the naked eye.
And next to that super-vortex was another one of equally terrifying scale.
Although it only occupied about a quarter of the Martial Arts Hall, it was still far larger than all the other small vortexes combined.
A massive amount of Source Energy Particles were being swallowed by it with terrifying efficiency.
Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes and looked in that direction.
He saw Dongfang Zhen sitting cross-legged, watching him with great interest, a broad smile on his face.
And beside him, the one creating the most terrifying vortex was none other than the young man in the Daoist robe, Zhang Daoxuan.
At this moment, Zhang Daoxuan’s eyes were tightly shut. He sat cross-legged, breathing rhythmically as streams of qi flowed around him, clearly circulating some extremely profound Cultivation Technique.
Lin Ye instantly understood.
’So these vortexes are the manifestations in the sea of source energy created by each person practicing their breathing exercises.’
He was startled by Zhang Daoxuan’s formidable aptitude and Cultivation Technique.
But what shocked Lin Ye even more was Dongfang Zhen.
That guy wasn’t even focused on cultivating; instead, he was leisurely observing everyone else in the hall.
And yet, even so, the source energy vortex he formed unconsciously was enough to overwhelm everyone except for Zhang Daoxuan.
’Now that’s a true monster.’
"You’ve completed the sensing?"
From the lecture platform, Lin Hanshan’s somewhat aged voice suddenly sounded, pulling Lin Ye back to reality from his thoughts.
Lin Ye nodded.
A flicker of unconcealable astonishment flashed through Lin Hanshan’s murky eyes.
