The stars shine brightly, and the moon shines. When Ye Xuan left the underground residence, it was already midnight outside. Although it is not yet the winter solstice, the weather at this time seems to be very cold, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the mountain rocks, which is exceptionally bright and cold.

"Is it midnight again?" Ye Xuan looked up at the white moon in the sky and whispered to himself.

The so-called midnight refers to the middle of the night! Midnight, also known as the middle of the night, is the time when the first half of the night and the second half of the night intersect in the popular sense. However, if it is divided from the attributes of yin and yang, the so-called midnight is the beginning of the real "night".

In terms of the division of yin and yang attributes, the day is yang and the night is yin, and I am afraid that everyone in the world will not have any objections to this. It is precisely because of this that the world is accustomed to defining sunset as the beginning of the night. However, this is not the case!

Sunset is just the second half of the day.

In the eyes of the world, things are mostly black and white. Since the day is yang and the night is cloudy, when the sky is dark, it should naturally be night. But in fact, the so-called dark sky is just that there is no light! It does not mean that the yang energy has dissipated.

In terms of yin and yang attributes, the correct definition of a whole day is based on the yang and yin energy between heaven and earth. The time from noon to midnight is yang, i.e., day, and from midnight to noon it is yin, i.e., night. As for noon in the eyes of the world, it is actually just the second half of the night. And the first half of the night in the eyes of the world is the second half of the day.

There is noon during the day and midnight at night. The so-called noon means to intersect! And the word "intersection" refers to alternation! So, what is the alternation? Naturally, yin and yang are alternating!

The sun is yang, and the sun is yin. Yang is hot, yin is cold! Therefore, the temperature during the day is often a few points higher than at night. As for why the temperature in the morning is mixed with some coldness, the main reason is because the yin qi has not dissipated.

Although the sky is bright, although the yang energy is coming, the yin energy is completely dispersed!

Since there is a saying that day and night alternate in the world, then there is naturally a process of yin and yang exchange. Every day starts at dawn, which is when the yin and yang energy between heaven and earth begin to be exchanged. The process of exchanging yin and yang between heaven and earth is not completed in an instant, and this process will not end until noon.

That is to say, at noon in the day, the yin energy of heaven and earth will be dissipated, and it is from noon that the yang energy between heaven and earth will reach the most vigorous point. Therefore, the so-called noon is actually a symbolic node of the exchange of yin and yang between heaven and earth. At this node, Yang Qi truly replaces Yin Qi and becomes the dominant force between heaven and earth.

So, noon is the beginning of the real "day" of the day!

In the same way, from the time the sun sets, the yin energy between heaven and earth is born, and the yang energy begins to dissipate!

Therefore, midnight is the beginning of the real "night" of the day!

The reason why the yin spirits and ghosts in the world are concentrated in the middle of the night is because the yin qi between heaven and earth is the most prosperous at this time.

However, whether it is yin or yang, there is no big difference for ordinary people. This alternation of yin and yang is something that only monks in practice pay special attention to.

The practice of monks is to cultivate the mind and self-cultivation. Cultivating the mind is cultivating innate consciousness, and self-cultivation is cultivating innate oneness. Innate qi is the combination of yin and yang!

Therefore, for monks, the time when yin and yang intersect between heaven and earth is often an excellent time for cultivation.

Midnight is the time when the yin and yang of heaven and earth intersect.

In the cultivation of monks, the intersection of yin and yang is the most important! Because the intersection of yin and yang will inevitably produce innate qi! And whether it is noon or midnight, it is the time when the innate unity of heaven and earth is the thickest. However, for monks, they often choose midnight for True Qi cultivation.

As for noon, because the floating sun between heaven and earth is too heavy, it is actually not conducive to meditation and practice. However, although noon is not conducive to the cultivation of monks, the time of dawn is also an excellent time for practice! Because the time of dawn is the time when the yang energy of heaven and earth is first born. At this time, it is also the time when the true yang in the monk's body begins to be active, and if you grasp this cultivation time, you can often achieve twice the result with half the effort!

And since there is an alternation of yin and yang in a day, then there is naturally an alternation of yin and yang in a year! The alternation of a day is just a small alternation of yin and yang between heaven and earth. The alternation of the year is the real alternation of heaven and earth.

The alternation of yin and yang in one day only affects this day. The alternation of yin and yang in a year affects everything in the world! Every day, including the alternation of yin and yang, will be affected by this alternation of yin and yang.

There are noon and midnight throughout the day, and the spring equinox and winter solstice are also present throughout the year.

For a day, dawn and evening are the moments when yin and yang between heaven and earth begin to alternate, and noon and midnight are the moments when yin and yang between heaven and earth are completely exchanged.

For a year, the spring equinox and the autumn solstice are the moments when the yin and yang between heaven and earth begin to alternate, and the summer solstice and winter solstice are the moments when the yin and yang between heaven and earth are completely exchanged.

In the Taoist sect, the festival of the winter solstice is particularly important! Because around the winter solstice is the most favorable time of the year for cultivation. If you can make good use of it, you can do half a day's hard work!

In addition to the winter solstice, Daomen also attaches more importance to the spring equinox! The spring equinox is the time when all things recover and the spring sun sprouts, and this is the time when the true yang that has been dormant in the human body for a long time begins to be active.

However, how the Daomen monks practiced had nothing to do with Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan has his own path to follow, and his path of cultivation has been doomed from the moment he was born!

Looking up at the endless stars above his head, Ye Xuan's body gradually began to enter a very mysterious state. At this moment, it was as if the stars in the sky began to connect with each other automatically, and then turned into a bright array, projecting down from the edge of the distant sky. In just a moment's effort, the formation diagram had already been mapped into his body, and it was confirmed with all the acupuncture points and veins in his body.

"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Independence, unchangeable, can be the mother of the world!"

In the middle of nowhere, Ye Xuan suddenly recalled in his mind a sentence that Dao Ancestor had said! This is a definition of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth made by Dao Ancestor after he became enlightened, in order to facilitate the cultivation of future generations!

The Husband was born before the heavens and the earth. At that time, heaven and earth were not born, and everything in the world was there. Neither time nor space has yet to start running. At that time, there was only one kind of thing, the Tao! Isolated from the world, it was in constant motion! Therefore, for the Tao, it can be called the origin of all things in heaven and earth!

When he was in the Immortal Village before, Ye Xuan had already heard this sentence from the mouths of the old immortals countless times, and as early as the first time he heard this sentence, he felt that he understood the meaning. But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that what he used to call understanding was just understanding.

Understanding, just to understand what the language expresses, does not mean that you understand the meaning contained in it!

In the past, what Ye Xuan heard from these words was just the appearance of the Tao. Born from nature, the mother of all things, that's all. But at this moment, Ye Xuan's heart gave birth to a new understanding that was different from the past.

Starting from the small Zhou Tian cycle that connects the essence and spirit of the human body, to the yin and stilt veins that connect the small Zhou Tian and the big Zhou Tian, and then to the big Zhou Tian that connects the entire human body. Under the illumination of Zhou Tianxing's diagram, all the true qi in Ye Xuan's body began to be mobilized, and it quickly ran into every meridian and acupuncture point in his body.

At this moment, although Ye Xuan was standing quietly on the top of the mountain, everything in his body was changing rapidly.

The Tao is a thing, that is, the rules that control the operation of all things in heaven and earth, and it is also a part of all things in heaven and earth.

Independent and unchanging, Zhou Xing will not die, and he can be the mother of the world!

At this moment, the Zhou Tian cycle in Ye Xuan's body seemed to have suddenly turned into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, without the guidance of any of Ye Xuan's thoughts, and was completely running independently of himself! In the process of this operation, every part of his body, every meridian, and even every cell seemed to be integrated into the Zhou Tian cycle.

The cycle goes on and on!

At this moment, Ye Xuan realized that everything in this world was really born from the Tao! Just as the true qi circulating in his body at this time was running, in this operation, everything in his body turned into a part of the cycle. Ye Xuan didn't even have any doubt that even if his body was severely injured at this time, this cycle would repair the wound in a very short time!

Because the Tao itself is an integral part of all things! As long as the rules of operation are still in place, then it is impossible for all things to be truly destroyed!

One minute, minute, three minutes...

Unconsciously, Ye Xuan had fallen into this wonderful state for nearly half an hour. With this wonderful state, the already powerful true qi in his body gradually began to become thicker and purer. Countless True Qi traveled rapidly through every cell in his body, constantly improving his cultivation while also constantly nourishing his Divine Sense and Yuan Infant.

If there were people around this barren mountain at this time, I am afraid that it would be easy to notice the top of the mountain where Ye Xuan was located! Although the moonlight was bright, it could not brighten Ye Xuan's body at this time! Wrapped in a large amount of true qi, Ye Xuan's body suddenly turned into a king-sized lighting device, and just looking at it would make people feel their eyes tingle.

On this night, Ye Xuan's Yin God Yuan Infant officially transformed into a Yang God Yuan Baby. Moreover, it was a transformation that had been completed before the distracting thoughts in his divine consciousness had been refined!

This change also confirms a conjecture that Ye Xuan has always been very puzzled about. Is it true that the cultivation of monks will fade away from everything in the mundane world? Or in other words, can the path of enlightenment alone be transformed into immortals?

At this time, Ye Xuan finally had an answer in his heart!
