This is an urban fantasy novel where the protagonist gains the inheritance of the Yin-Yang Immortal Emperor by overpowering the Yin-Yang Demon, obtaining the Yin-Yang Chaos Technique, and also accessing the Yin-Yang Space, as well as black and white hole spaces. The protagonist cultivates by absorbing lightning, water pressure, typhoons, volcanoes, forests, and magnetic crystals, and through nuclear fusion. He eventually reaches outer space, visiting the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the Sun, ultimately reaching a black hole for further cultivation. It's not the traditional method of absorbing spiritual energy; it involves absorbing various other abilities. You should definitely watch this!
