"I am feeling cheated on at this moment." Li Meng said.

"There is no cheating here. You wanted to travel to the world border to get an understanding of world energy. Since the border we are traveling on is related to hell, you need an Extreme-Yin body to survive in that condition. I made the decision based on your needs."

"Why will my body burst if I don't find dan extreme Yang treasure? Don't I have a Yin-Yang law base. It should be able to help me control my body."

"It is precise because of the Yin-Yang law base that you are facing that problem. If you had just connected with Yin law, this wouldn't have occurred. Yin-Yang laws require a proper balance between the two opposing forces which couldn't be achieved without a balance of all opposing energy types."

"Fortunately due to the recent upgrade in your soul and you practicing such powerful arts, the law base's energy is being suppressed, but it will burst out one day or the other. You need to prepare an extreme Yang treasure to obtain the Extreme Yang body which would ultimately combine with Extreme Yin to give rise to the Yin-Yang body. Only then will the laws be fully compatible with you." 

"Where could I find an Extreme Yang body?" Li Meng was depressed on hearing his inevitable condition.

"The best way is to search for extreme Yang treasure, but it will take a long time to find due to its rarity. You need to upgrade the other energies in you and also improve your soul strength to keep it suppressed. I advise you to focus on soul cultivation from now on. Although it is slow, it is the only potent thing against the condition."

" Would it be possible to ward off some of the Yin energy with the help of Yang-related herbs and pills?"

"Well, it is a viable method as long as you have sufficient pills and herbs. It is even possible to continue without an Extreme Yang treasure with the help of yang herbs and pills. The only problem is the sheer quantity of the materials required. You need to continuously ingest a huge amount of herbs and pills of yang quality just to balance the two energies."

"There are historical records of cultivators being able to obtain a powerful Yang body with the help of ingesting strong Yang-type herbs and pills, but they were very few. Not only do you require an extremely huge quantity of the herbs, but you also need a very vast variety too. At your current body level, any herb of 1st stage will be useless after you eat them around ten times. The same goes for pills in the 1st stage.

The number increases by ten at every stage. This means the more variety you have at each stage the more you can ingest and the more yang energy you obtain."

"That is a good thing. If we see the herb garden I have collected a huge number of Yang herbs."

"The problem is a probable quantity for even obtaining Yang's body. The minimum amount is the ingestion of 1000 different variety Yang herbs at the fifth stage at the very least. Even if you have 1000 varieties of each stage below five and ingest them to the max. limit until you get potent, they will still not be able to equate to more than 20% of the original requirement. Do you understand why it is impossible now?"

"Well, we do have some emperor-level herbs, around 50 yang types among them. I will try to collect more. What if we get some Yang resources of fifth level r higher."

"I can only estimate when we get our hands on some. It would be best if we could get our hands on level 6 herbs and pills."

"Are you asking me to loot Pill valley?" Li Meng said in a depressed voice.

"We shouldn't lose hope. Just try our best, and what is in the diary of fate for us is inevitable anyway." Li Meng took inspiration from the Keeper's words and decided to let the matter rest for the second. He began to look around for more treasures, but there were none.

"We need to rush for the world boundary fast. Once there, I want you to train using all your avatars for at least 3 months. Only then would you manage to understand what World energy truly is. I also need to notify you that the artifact will hibernate along with me and the other Hall masters."

"The gains this time are humongous with the possibility of upgrading ourselves by at least 4-5 times. You are up for a treat when the functions activate once again. However, during this time we will not be available for you to use. Hence I have some instructions for you. Make sure you practice on the Boat itself and never go away, no matter what happens."

"You will be using the Extreme Yin tree's barks for the trip this time. The pieces have been collected and divided properly by me. Only three pieces are required to go in and three pieces to get out and return to Misty Valley. Make sure to be on the watch as we never know what danger lies in the World border."

"No one will be assisting you and the avatars this time." The Keeper said. He then gave out ancient scripts detailing world energy and how to sense it. The proper way to gain comprehension and even a crude method to practice in it.

"The ancient practice method belongs to one of the most powerful space energy species called the Void-walkers. They predominantly practice space energy and have been said to have gone extinct. One of the previous owners came across this method in the past. It will help you cultivate the world energy properly."

"I have to warn you though. No record of crimson lords practicing world energy is present. Hence, you will be the first one to do so. Analyze the situation properly before proceeding."

Li Meng nodded. He then took out all the avatars and storage rings for all of them after which the artifact went into lockdown and he proceeded towards the Nether boat. The voyage to the world border started. Soon enough the avatars were positioned in various locations on the desk and Li Meng began to cultivate.

The request this time was a voyage through the world border to hell and a return ticket which cost him six pieces of the Extreme Yin tree as instructed by the Keeper. The captain of the boat looked surprised after seeing the yin tree pieces and hurriedly allowed Li Meng on the boat.

Finally, the river began expanding into the large water reservoir and Li Meng began losing sight of the land he got picked up from. After another day they were almost in the middle of the reservoir with no land in sight. Li Meng felt a jolt within his whole body and felt his law energy weakening as if they couldn't find their source.

"So, this is the borders." The phenomenon made Li meng guess that he was approaching the world border. Soon enough the law energy had weakened to normal QI strengths and Li Meng could no longer feel the fluidity in using them as he did before. The boat stopped almost instantly at that place, and Li Meng looked above to see a majestic view.

The whole sky was divided into two sections, one being that of his normal world, while the other being maroon red.  He had arrived at the world border.

Li Meng opened up the texts given to him by the Keeper and began going through them. He slowly managed to characterize the world's energy and a simple cultivation exercise managed to help him sense it.

The captain approached him and spoke. " It will cost you a single piece of Yin-tree for each month you stay here." Li Meng didn't expect the captain to understand his motive and nodded in agreement.
