Fairy and Demon Gods

Chapter 476 Heaven's movement is ever vigorous; Earth's condition is receptive; following the wind, it flows smoothly; gradually, thunder roars… and the *I Ching*

With a clear mind and boundless ambition, Kunpeng serves as both a warning to himself and a reminder to all the spirits present.

"Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."

"The terrain is poor, and a gentleman carries his wealth with kindness!"

"Do not give up on yourself or feel sorry for yourself because of your background and circumstances. Fate is not predetermined. As long as you are willing to work hard and do good deeds, it will eventually favor every person with a heart."

"Please keep this in mind, and you will gain something from it, obtaining your own blessings!"

At the end of his sermon and acceptance of disciples, Kunpeng left behind his deep expectations for the spirits of the Northern Wilderness!
With a thunderous roar, a vast golden cloud of merit suddenly appeared, its light shining brightly, turning the sky into a golden world. It poured down, carrying the will of the Great Dao's approval and recognition, and poured down upon the Kunpeng.

Kunpeng was overjoyed, as he received two acts of merit in one day.
And such good things?

Could it be the emergence of the I Ching? Or the teaching of virtuous conduct? Or perhaps a combination of both!
He didn't have time to think further; he was completely absorbed in it!
A warm and peaceful power flowed through his limbs and bones, nourishing his primordial spirit and body. Kunpeng's thoughts became clearer, and the realm he had not entered for a long time loosened up. It seemed that he had broken through some barrier and felt like an immortal!

Kunpeng quickly suppressed and guided this thought. He knew that this was the Quasi-Saint realm he had been dreaming of. As long as he was willing, he could sever his good corpse and become a Quasi-Saint!

It turns out that when things fall into place naturally, one can break through bottlenecks and smoothly enter a new realm.

I was only one step away from understanding it before!

Kunpeng didn't want to play the fool to take advantage of others, but after a moment's thought, he decided to suppress his realm and strength for now, keeping it as a trump card for the future!

The Kunpeng opens its body and mind, allowing the power of merit to wash over its body, cleanse its soul, and allow it to comprehend nature.

A small amount of golden light from merit seeped into the tortoise shell of the Luoshu, giving it an even more mysterious aura that was hard to describe.

Kunpeng had mixed feelings.

All schools of Feng Shui use the Luoshu (洛书), which provides important theories for the principles of Qi (energy flow), layout, and auspicious date selection in Feng Shui, and is directly related to the operating laws of heaven, earth, and humankind.

Its principles of reversal and restraint, the Three Harmonies and Four Great Formations, Flying Star divination, harmony and balance, cosmic order and change, its numbers correspond to the Nine Palaces, and it is deeply integrated with the Eight Trigrams, geomancy, and other techniques, providing a dynamic matrix for prediction and judgment, determining the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of environmental layout, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, etc., all of which are indispensable parts of Feng Shui.

This Luoshu not only reminded and inspired me to unlock the way of Feng Shui, but my two classic maxims from the Book of Changes (I Ching) are also closely related to Feng Shui. Feng Shui is also a specific application of the ideas of the Book of Changes, which provides a philosophical theoretical foundation for Feng Shui!

Therefore, the Luoshu should rightfully receive its share of merit.

Kunpeng gazed at the mysterious numbers and symbols changing in the Luoshu, the yin-yang fish (Tai Chi Bagua diagram) that had appeared out of nowhere, and the faintly visible Bagua divine script, lost in thought, his mind racing. He then looked at the golden clouds of merit in the sky, which seemed to be exhausted yet still had some strength left, and felt as if they were conveying some kind of message.

What is it encouraging? What is it hoping for?
Could it be that the Way of Heaven is still waiting for itself to continue to improve?

No wonder the amount of merit power this time not only exceeded expectations but also dragged on for a while; it turns out this was what was waiting for.

Taking advantage of his good fortune, his accumulated merits, and his unprecedented clarity of mind, he combined his own understanding with the reminders from the Luoshu (a mythical tree in China) to gradually recall and reconstruct the eight classic lines from the I Ching of his previous life!

Kunpeng pointed to the sky, using the heavens as a chessboard, both for self-exploration and deduction, and for on-site teaching and explanation to the spirits present.

As for how much one learns, that depends on the individual's understanding, but even if one only learns the basics, it is enough for everyone to benefit immensely.

"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a superior man should constantly strive for self-improvement." (Qian Hexagram)

"The earth's nature is receptive; the superior man, in accordance with this, sustains all things with his magnanimous virtue." (Kun hexagram)

"Following the wind, the superior man, in accordance with this, carries out his mandate and acts accordingly. (The Xun hexagram)"

The divine characters on the tortoise shell of the Luoshu (洛书) appeared one by one, as if they were real, and were exactly the same as the Later Heaven Bagua (后天八卦) diagram in the sky, complementing each other.

"Thunder gradually strikes; the superior man, in accordance with this, cultivates self-reflection and aversion." (Zhen Hexagram)

"Goodness is like water; a wise person plans ahead when undertaking any task." (Kan Hexagram)

"Fire is associated with humanity; the superior man distinguishes things by their categories and groups." (Li hexagram)

"Walking on the marsh, the superior man discerns the people's will and finds peace. (Dui hexagram)"

"The Gen hexagram signifies humility; the superior man, in accordance with this, diminishes what is excessive and increases what is scarce."
