Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 315 The Eight Trigrams of Fuxi, the Dharma Form!

Feeling the long-standing barrier within his body crack with a crisp sound, a look of understanding flashed in Li Xijun's eyes.

A breakthrough opportunity is like the brightest star in the night sky—clearly visible, yet fleeting.

Without hesitation, his powerful mental energy spread out like invisible ripples, instantly conveying his decision to go into seclusion to Mu Qingyi.

People like Wei Gonggong.

"The opportunity has arrived; I must immediately go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Dharma stage. For now, I entrust the affairs of the outside world to Eunuch Wei, the Empress, and Madam Mu."

As the news spread, Mu Wanqiu, Mu Qingyi, and the others were surprised, but they were able to better understand the gravity of the situation.

Eunuch Wei was extremely excited, his high-pitched voice filled with utmost piety:

"Your Highness, please rest assured in your seclusion. This old servant will guard the Eastern Depot well and ensure that no villains disturb Your Highness's peaceful cultivation. Once Your Highness has mastered your divine skills, you will surely sweep across the eight wastelands and establish order in the world!"

Mu Qingyi responded calmly, stating that she would represent Li Xijun to create a delicate balance with the Empress and Eunuch Wei's forces, thus stabilizing the court.

In this way, Eunuch Wei would still be in charge of the Eastern Depot, maintaining the eyes and ears and deterrence of the capital; Mu Qingyi, with her shrewdness and competence, would represent him in dealing with the Empress's forces, forming a preliminary tripartite balance of power, which would be sufficient for handling daily government affairs in the short term.

With the arrangements complete, Li Xijun waved his hand and set up layers of luminous mandala barriers, isolating the deepest quiet room in the East Palace into an independent space.

As his mind sank into his inner vision, he was like a patient emperor surveying his territory, meticulously examining the universe he had created.

The 1,296 acupoints, like the core nodes of the celestial sphere, shine brightly and resonate with the billions of stars projected in the inner universe, forming a vast and intricate energy network.

The foundation of the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" is firmly established here, with the vitality of the Azure Dragon, the blazing heat of the Vermilion Bird, and the killing power of the White Tiger.

The serene presence of Xuanwu, along with the rotation of the four symbols, maintains the balance and vitality of the inner landscape.

Now he has completely condensed all the acupoints, and there is nothing wrong with his inner world. Now is the time to unify all the spiritual power in his acupoints and meridians and condense a Dharma image according to his own cultivation method and martial arts.

This step is no less crucial than breaking through the outer realms, or a martial artist in the main world condensing their golden core.

Therefore, Li Xijun did not proceed directly, but continued to use his divine soul power to brush over each twinkling star, sensing their trajectory.

This time, when he looked at the stars and their trajectories, he unconsciously brought with him the insights he had gained in the main hall.

At this moment, Li Xijun discovered that the movement of all the stars in the inner vision, no matter how complex their trajectories, seemed to be guided by that invisible "center".

It is not coercion, but a natural order, a sense of belonging originating from the source.

He recalled the main world's understanding of the universe, with galaxies revolving around a core; he recalled the power structure of dynasties, with the entire world protecting the capital; he recalled the human body itself, with all meridians converging at the dantian and the ancestral aperture, and naturally, the character "中" (zhong, meaning center) appeared in his mind.

The mere appearance of this word seems to contain supreme profound meaning.

It is not simply a location, but the source of order, the fulcrum of balance, and the place where all streams converge!

So, in the inner universe, what can represent this "center"?

What can become the absolute core around which the myriad stars and the mighty forces of the four elements willingly surround and protect?

The answer is self-evident, and it perfectly matches Li Xijun's state of mind when he first comprehended the technique.

Crape myrtle!

Yes, it can only be Ziwei!

It is not just a simple star, but a supreme imperial star symbol in the starry sky!

It remains silent and still, yet it naturally becomes the pivot of the universe, surrounded by stars, none daring to disobey!

Once this thought arose, it was as if a fuse had been lit, and all his past accumulations, insights, and ambitions erupted and merged at this moment.

The vast universe became his domain, the "power" of the Four Symbols became his subjects, and his will and his Dao heart would transform into the central Purple Star Emperor.

Only by reaching the center can one coordinate all directions!

Only the highest can overlook all living beings!

Only the supreme ruler can command ghosts and gods!

Only when the supreme authority prevails can legal principles be established!

And these four combined are the one and only, the one that surpasses all others—the only one!

"boom!"

A magnificent and boundless supreme thought, seemingly existing since the beginning of time, resounded deep within his mind like a great bell, instantly dispelling all confusion and bewilderment.

This resounding Daoist voice was not from outside, but rather the most essential cry of his own Daoist heart, his clearest declaration of his future path.

This is his way!

Once the intention is clear, it illuminates the way forward like a lighthouse.

However, the pursuit of this "supreme and unique" is not an illusion; it requires solid steps to climb.

For him, the starting point of this ladder is the four celestial symbols of the universe—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—which have long been integrated into his bones and blood!

Only by taking this as the foundation for all things can we elucidate the mysteries of the Three Powers and Yin and Yang, and transform the infinite changes of the Five Elements, the Six Harmonies, and the Eight Trigrams.

"The great way is simple, yet it evolves into complexity. I will begin with the most fundamental structure of heaven and earth, first establishing the foundation of the Eight Trigrams with the Four Symbols, and then reconstructing all laws to forge the root of my supreme Dharma form."

The decision has been made, but how to integrate this abstract meaning of the Eight Trigrams into one's own understanding of the Way of the Stars is the question.

Li Xijun completely opened his mind, resonating with the billions of stars in the inner universe, feeling the profound truth contained in the birth and death of starlight and the intertwining of orbits, and couldn't help but begin to rethink and examine.

As time passed, naturally... near the Ziwei Emperor Star, a star field composed of six interconnected stars began to emit a unique pulling force.

The name "Gou Chen!" naturally came to mind.

Ancient accounts of this star flowed through my heart like a gentle stream:

"Gouchen" is the star closest to the Emperor in the Purple Palace Enclosure. Its six stars are linked together in an array, their shape slightly curved like a hook—the star below it resides in the center, representing the Heavenly Emperor. It governs all the stars, its position similar to the North Pole, yet it serves as the pivot—"

In ancient legends, this Gouchen Emperor also had another manifestation, namely the Fuxi Emperor.

"That's it! The Four Symbols define the Four Trigrams, and Gouchen evolves into the Eight Trigrams—this perfectly aligns with my Dao!"

The moment the thought arose, Li Xijun's mind cleared, and he suddenly entered a profound state of enlightenment.

His inner universe began a radical transformation:

Inside the interior, the originally orderly trajectories of the stars seemed to have returned to the beginning of time, a state of chaos and uncertainty, where only time flowed silently in the darkness.

In the chaos, light and darkness alternated, the sun and moon revealed their forms, waxing and waning in due order; the stars in the heavens gradually lit up, arranging themselves in the void, each with its own place. Clouds rose and turned into rain and dew, water vapor condensed into frost, the seasons changed, and the natural order was revealed.

The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars and constellations are arrayed, clouds rise and bring rain, dew condenses into frost, cold comes and heat goes, autumn harvests and winter stores.

This is the initial sign of the operation of heaven and earth.

At the same time, a vague sense of "self-awareness" arises in the inner landscape, as if the ancients first realized that they were independent of heaven and earth, and began to observe the complex, ever-changing nature and their inner selves with a bewildered mind.

Although everything is chaotic, there are subtle clues to be found.

Li Xijun's god, like that ancient emperor, began to "observe" all things in heaven and earth.

He saw the trajectory of the stars, sensed the undulations of the earth's veins, and observed the characteristics of water, soil, wind, and thunder.

He verified his observations by comparing them with his own acupoints and the stars in his inner vision.

Gradually, the seemingly chaotic phenomena began to be summarized and organized.

Those similar are grouped into "categories," and those nearly identical are ordered as "numbers." These "categories" and "numbers," one long and one short, form the basic framework for understanding the world, and the rudiments of the hexagrams begin to shimmer in the inner landscape.

At its core, the six main stars symbolizing the "Gouchen Hub" shone brightly, and the phantom of Emperor Fuxi seemed to transcend the river of time and space to manifest here.

He raised his hand and gestured, causing the inner universe to tremble violently!

The four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind are no longer just independently operating star fields, but rather, with Gouchen at their core, they interact and rub against each other.

Yin and Yang separated and intertwined in the chaos, and in the midst of their turbulence, thunder was born, which was as powerful as the creation of the world. When the thunder rose, it also attracted wind and rain.

The clear and turbid energies began to rise and fall; the lighter, clearer ones rose to become the heavens, while the heavier, turbid ones sank to become the earth. The yin and yang energies condensed and vibrated, evolving into a vast body of water. The pressure of this water acted on the newly formed earth, causing the earth's crust to fold and mountains and marshes to take shape.

A vast innate Bagua diagram slowly condensed and unfolded in the center of Li Xijun's inner universe:

The three lines of Qian (乾) represent Heaven, signifying strength, uprightness, and the pure, vigorous Yang that hangs high above!

Kun (the main character) has six broken lines, representing the earth, which is gentle and yielding, symbolizing pure Yin and perfect compliance, and the virtue of carrying all things!

The third trigram, Zhen, is an upturned bowl, representing thunder. It signifies the turbulent and vigorous rise of yang energy beneath yin, which is awe-inspiring in all directions!

The bottom of the Xun (three) trigram represents wind, which can penetrate everywhere, symbolizing the entry of yin energy into yang, allowing for smooth flow!

Kan (three) is full in the middle, which is water. It is dangerous, deep and secluded, symbolizing that it is soft on the outside but hard on the inside. It can nourish things silently but also capsize a boat!

The middle part of the trigram Li (三) is empty, representing fire. Light is attached to it, symbolizing outward strength and inward gentleness. Its light shines everywhere, yet it can also burn everything!

Gen (3) is an overturned bowl, which represents a mountain. It is still and stable, symbolizing that the yang energy has reached its peak and then stopped, remaining majestic and unmoving!

The third line of the trigram Dui is missing at the top. It represents a marshland, symbolizing joy and moisture, and signifying the manifestation of Yin energy on the outside, bringing pleasure to all things!

The eight trigrams, in their magnificent form, resemble eight towering pillars, guarding the eight directions of the inner landscape.

They are no longer simple symbols, but constitute the most fundamental law network of the inner universe, the root manifestation of the warp and weft of heaven and earth and the analogy of all things, and orderly support and structure the entire inner universe.

The Way of the Eight Trigrams is like a supreme organizer, sorting out the seemingly chaotic and disordered phenomena of heaven and earth into a clear and orderly system.

"So that's how it is—my path has begun to take shape!"

As the innate Bagua became completely stable in the inner universe, and merged seamlessly with the stars and the true meaning of the four symbols, Li Xijun felt an unprecedented clarity and tranquility in his mind.

With the successful first step on its own path, all confusion and obstacles vanished in an instant.

The "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Si Xiang Jue" is the unique foundation for Li Xijun's enlightenment and the supreme codex on his path to "Zi Wei Supreme One".

"Dharma Image, Condense!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xijun activated his mind, and the vast spiritual power within his body surged into the core of the new inner universe, which was based on the Eight Trigrams, framed by the Four Symbols, and shaped by the stars.

Outside the quiet room of the East Palace, the sky suddenly darkened, not because of dark clouds, but as if endless starlight was being drawn from beyond the heavens and gathered in this sky.

In the void, the faint sounds of the Great Dao echoed, like the roar of a dragon, the cry of a phoenix, the preaching of a holy emperor, or the worship of all gods.

A vast aura, encompassing heaven and earth and governing all laws, emanated from the quiet room, enveloping the entire East Palace and even the nearby imperial palace area in a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

Li Xijun's breakthrough has already begun!
