I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 437 Yes, this is the main calendar of my Yin-Yang School!

It would be difficult for non-professionals to understand the profound significance that the concept of a planet represented when it was first proposed.

Before the concept of planets, all celestial changes could only be memorized by rote. Even though our predecessors realized that each star had its own laws, those laws were unique to each star. The changes between different stars were unrelated. People could only memorize when and where a star should be. If the changes occurred in cycles of several decades, even prediction became very difficult.

But the moment the concepts of planets and their orbits emerged, these patterns became clear. Just like before the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence, to calculate the sum of numbers from 1 to 100, you had to add them one by one or simply memorize the answers of your predecessors. But with this formula, not to mention one to one hundred, one to ten thousand, one to one hundred million, or even skipping numbers, it all became effortless.

Even though Gan Sheng was not a scholar of divination, he could still clearly understand the value of this star chart.

But soon he discovered some more problems.

This time, however, he no longer carried the arrogance of the current leader of the Yin-Yang School, nor did he exhibit the previous madness and wavering. His expression became calm and serious, his demeanor earnest and sincere, as if he were a peer—no, even with a hint of seeking advice—as he asked his question:

What does "North Star" mean? What does "constellation" mean?

Yes, although the celestial constellations change with the seasons, their operational patterns cannot be incorporated into this star chart centered on the sun. In other words, their brightness, size, and the patterns of their changes in different seasons, if incorporated into this seven-star system, would yield a rather bizarre result.

It's not that there's no way to get results, but that would overturn the entire understanding of the astrological system...

Feng Xue did not speak in response to Gan Sheng's answer. Instead, she spread her hands and projected the astronomy educational video made by Xiao Lingdang between her palms using illusion magic.

Onlookers could only see a sphere, similar to the celestial globe but without gears and links, shrinking into a small star chart. Soon after, more stars began to come into view.

The stars were so numerous and so complex, each star chart independent of the others, yet intertwined and circling under some kind of force. Although they seemed incredibly abstract at the moment, Gan Sheng still managed to find many familiar stars in this unfamiliar and endless star chart thanks to his profound cultivation.

As the numerous stars converged and formed a spiral, Gan Sheng finally trembled, and two streams of hot tears welled up in his burning eyes.

"This is the Milky Way! This is the Milky Way! So this is what the Milky Way is like?!"

At this moment, all the doubts in Gan Sheng's heart vanished instantly. What newcomer, what he had never heard of, none of that mattered!
The Gregorian calendar! It must be the Gregorian calendar!

The person who could propose such a theory must be the chief calendar of his Yin-Yang school!
Gan Sheng even imagined a great deal of detail at this moment—this theory almost overturned the theories of Gaitian and Xuanye. Although it seemed somewhat similar to the theory of Huntian, it far surpassed it. Not to mention such a young man, even the leaders of those minor schools would not dare to speak up easily. Don't be fooled by the harmonious debate among the hundred schools of thought. That's because this is under the emperor's nose and the Qin Dynasty is the guarantor. If it were in a more remote place, the public release of such a result would probably lead to death before it even spread!
Since Feng Xuexin has almost completely rebuilt his cultivation, what he originally learned must be a system that is extremely incompatible with the Seven Luminaries Star Instrument. This conflict is unlikely to be just a problem for one person. It is possible that his entire school, or even the main branch of the school, may be in conflict with this theory. The introduction of this theory would almost certainly destroy the cultivation of everyone in the entire school.

In this case, being expelled from the sect is already a pretty good outcome.

Thinking of this, Gan Sheng couldn't help but sigh slightly. Feng Xue's ability to obtain the calling card and come to Xianyang was probably because the sect knew the theory was correct, but couldn't bear the consequences of the entire sect falling apart. In the end, they could only choose to exile him and send him to Xianyang. Firstly, it could protect this brilliant junior; secondly, it could sever ties with him and prevent him from being persecuted by other schools that would also be affected by this theory, or even by stubborn people within their own sect; and thirdly, it could provide a buffer period to arrange for the sect's disciples to gradually switch to this new practice and transition peacefully.

"Thinking about it this way, Feng Xue's original school of thought must have been a branch of the Qintian School, and the atmosphere within the school must have been excellent, otherwise this kid would definitely not have survived until now."

Thinking this, Gan Sheng immediately pulled out a yin-yang disc that resembled a Taiji diagram. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a jade pendant and handed it to Feng Xue, saying:
"This method is truly profound. Based on this theory, you should become the master of the calendar for my Yin-Yang school!"

These words were not merely a title, for Feng Xue could clearly sense that at the moment the old man spoke, his mental energy seemed to be enhanced in some way.

“The power of will... but it’s not the traditional amplification of faith, but a more subtle kind... I see. The power of will in this world has completely become something like a rule. No wonder that as long as the standard is met, the heart candle can be lit. It’s not a difference in the rules of the world, but that the path pioneered by our predecessors has deeply penetrated people’s hearts.”

Based on his research on the power of will in the previous worlds, Feng Xue immediately understood the logic behind this change. After a slight pause, he immediately took the jade pendant with both hands.

Seeing that Feng Xue was willing to accept, Gan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. However, upon hearing Gan Sheng's words, the members of the military, agricultural, Mohist, and industrial schools around him were filled with regret. If they had known that this person was not actually the main calendar, they should have tried to win him over!
But now that we've already accepted it, trying to win them over would be breaking the rules!
Clearly, this Seven Luminaries Star Instrument could easily be used by all of them!
Noticing the regretful expressions on the faces of these "outsiders," Gan Sheng was secretly delighted. He even pulled out a book from the Five Elements Plate and immediately began to write:
"Based on this theory, you are qualified to establish a new school of thought. If you want to change the name, you can do so now."

Faced with this question, Feng Xue still gave the identity that had initially been misunderstood by others—"Shenxiao".

"The heavens are divided into nine levels, so should we choose the highest one? That seems fitting for this planetary/galactic theory." Gan Sheng added the name "Shenxiao" to the register. Although he felt the name was a bit too sharp, he didn't try to dissuade Feng Xue from doing so, considering her age.

Furthermore, to be fair, he also felt that the name "Shenxiao" was worthy of this galactic theory, and even he had the idea of ​​studying it as a side study.

Actually, if he weren't still the head of the Five Elements School, he would have wanted to switch to that school directly.

After all, not to mention the dazzling Milky Way vortex, the sheer size of the Seven Luminaries Star Instrument alone is enough to make people strive for their entire lives!
