……

"Xiantian leads Zhou Tian, ​​overturns Zhou Tian's changes, and turns me into a king!"

This is precisely the general principle of the Feng Hou Qi Men lineage!

In Xiao Yi's own understanding of Feng Hou Qi Men, the essence of this technique lies in "control": controlling one's own subtle and exquisite changes; controlling the opponent's behavior and the flow of Qi; and going further, controlling the laws of the surrounding world for one's own use!
The human body itself is a precise microcosm, mysteriously corresponding to the external universe.

Xiao Yi understands this well: the twenty-four vertebrae of the human spine correspond to the twenty-four solar terms of heaven and earth!
The deadly frost on Ye Zijun's back was caused by Xiao Yi using the power of the Eight Gates Movement to manipulate the magnetic field of the Injury Gate to penetrate into her body and precisely erode her first and second cervical vertebrae.

These two locations correspond to "Major Snow" and "Minor Snow" in the twenty-four solar terms, thus triggering the generation of icy energy from the spine, which then spreads throughout the body.

The lightning-like power hidden deep within Ning Zhongtian's lumbar spine originates from the erosion of his 21st and 22nd lumbar vertebrae by the magnetic field of the injury gate.

This is precisely the eerie and terrifying power displayed by the Gate of Injury.

Without a sound or a sound, it invisibly penetrates the opponent's most vulnerable and undefended internal sphere.

In fact, Xiao Yi completely changed the situation with just a small test of the Qimen Dunjia method.

She didn't use any territory-related spells, such as the Zhen or Kun characters (ice magic belongs to the Kun character).

A strange situation is a strange situation, and a technique is a technique; the two are different.

The Qiju (奇局) itself is fixed, while Feng Hou Qimen (风后奇门) controls time by controlling the 24 solar terms (manifested as adjusting the four plates).

……

On the arena, Xiao Yi sat quietly on the vine throne. The mysterious Qimen formation field continued to flow invisibly, but the attacks were paused.

She didn't need to explain, but the principle behind it was clear—

The selection of targets and paths for the invasion of the wound gate is not without purpose.

The reason for choosing Ning Zhongtian as the primary intrusion point of the Wounded Gate's power is due to his crucial position as the core hub of the [Glassy Sacred Domain].

The destructive magnetic field carried by the Injury Gate is precisely designed to interfere with and dismantle the central control of this energy defense system from within.

If the core becomes sluggish or disordered, the very foundation of the entire Glazed Sacred Domain will naturally be shaken.

The intention behind silently implanting the power of the Ice Attribute into Ye Zijun's body was even more deadly—she was the core of the Tian Dou team's survival and sustainability.

Without her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul repeatedly repairing her injuries and replenishing her energy, the people of Tian Dou would have completely collapsed before the overwhelming destructive attack.

Paralyzing her ability to receive continuous treatment is tantamount to cutting off the lifeline of the Tiandou team.

As for why the same injury gate erosion manifests differently in Ning Zhongtian and Ye Zijun, the results are quite different.

Ning Zhongtian was located at the core of the entire Glazed Sacred Domain, receiving the convergence of three massive soul forces, requiring extremely precise control.

The lightning-attribute power of the Injury Gate brings negative effects such as paralysis, sluggishness, and energy out-of-control interference. For him, who is in charge of controlling the defensive array, this could easily cause the overall operation to stagnate or even collapse.

Moreover, the airspace and ground above the battlefield are filled with dense lightning-attribute spiritual energy and dissipated destructive energy. This subtle energy erosion of the same origin is mixed in and is even more difficult to detect and distinguish.

If Ning Zhongtian hadn't possessed an extremely keen control over energy flow and an insight into his internal condition far exceeding that of ordinary people, he might not have been able to pinpoint the alien lightning lurking deep within the 21st and 22nd lumbar vertebrae until the very end.

The Wound Gate used the vast surrounding lightning environment as cover to precisely embed destructive power into the key nodes of its defensive operation.

Ye Zijun's situation was different. She was always close to Ling Xinyao, a powerful ice-type soul master, and due to her soul skills and soul power, ice-type energy was already very active in this area.

At this moment, the injured gatekeeper guided his power attribute to ice, which not only made it easy to conceal his invasion traces with the help of the environment (the ice aura was difficult to distinguish when mixed with Ling Xinyao's scattered ice mist), but also allowed him to silently erode Ye Zijun's soul power circulation meridians and even spinal joints with the unique slowing and freezing properties of ice.

On a deeper level, Xiao Yi, though indifferent, was not cold-hearted—Ye Zijun was, after all, her cousin.

Choosing the erosion attribute as frost will make it easier for Ling Xinyao, who is also a girl and more familiar with ice-type power, to take action after the match.

This implicit preferential treatment arrangement for the "cousin's" identity avoids the additional damage caused by using other attributes (such as lightning or fire, which would burn the clothes).

Of course, these considerations and weighings were merely the optimal choices Xiaoyi made in a split second while manipulating the Qimen Dunjia formation's Injury Gate movement; she naturally wouldn't voice them at the competition venue.

The Eight Gates Transfer Technique is merely one of the means by which she controls the universe; the layout and details within it are entirely at her discretion.

…………

Xiao Yi's words, echoing across the arena, "Being born to govern the universe, encompassing the changes of the universe, transforming myself into king, I am the king," instantly stirred up an uncontrollable wave of discussion throughout the audience.

Jin Xin patted her chest exaggeratedly, her eyes wide open: "My goodness! Our immortal is truly...always saying something outrageous!"

"To declare 'I am the king' in public, how... how are all those court officials and meritorious princes sitting here supposed to put their faces?"

"Does this sound like contempt for official authority, or... perhaps even a rebellious spirit?!"

"But you know what, for an immortal to speak like that in front of 120,000 people, he really did have the aura of a king!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, clearly quite impatient with this overly politicized interpretation.

And, Lao Jin, could you have acted a little more convincingly?!
…………

Even on the high platform, among the distinguished seats, the atmosphere was unusual.

Prince Xue Jiqing was not angry. He naturally knew that the word "Prince" did not refer to the secular imperial throne and royal power, but rather to a realm of profound legal principles.

His dignified face held a thoughtful expression as he muttered and repeated the eighteen words: "He who commands the universe from the innate, who governs the changes of the universe, transforms me into king, I am the king..."

The more he pondered it, the stronger his desire to explore became, as if the words had touched upon some profound and mysterious secret of the universe.

A hint of amazement flashed in Qinghuang Sword Lord's sharp eyes: "Innate mastery of the universe, encompassing all changes in the universe? Using oneself as a guide, encompassing and controlling the changes in the operation of the surrounding world..."

"These words vividly depict the ultimate realm of a formation master's communication with heaven and earth! This woman could hardly possess such spirit and speak such words if she were not a top-tier formation master!"

Ji Hongming crossed his arms and snorted irritably, "Nonsense, is that even a question?"

On the other side, Xiao Yicai and Ghost King, both titled Douluo, seemed to be attracted by the imposing aura of the second half of the sentence, and unanimously whispered and repeated: "Transform me into a king, and I will be the king?"

Indeed, a light of enlightenment shone in the depths of both of their eyes.

However, what this light contains is entirely different.

Xiao Yicai's eyes shone brightly, his expression leaning more towards admiration and longing for a supreme ruler, the true meaning of controlling one's own destiny, as if "I am king" was a declaration of reaching the pinnacle of some spiritual realm.

The shadow beneath the Ghost King's black robe seemed to tremble slightly, and the light flashing in his eyes seemed to have given him a deeper and more fitting understanding and confirmation of the domineering way of "controlling," "surpassing," and turning the laws of heaven and earth into his own.

Although both were moved, the level and direction of their feelings were clearly rooted in their different levels of cultivation and life pursuits.
