From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

at this time.

Jiang Liu's figure appeared outside a pile of ruins.

The ruins consist of discarded furniture, collapsed building debris, and some marine debris.

The moment Jiang Liu swaggered in, heads poured out from both inside and outside the ruins, some wearing masks and others hooded.

Is Chen Duo there?

With a loud shout from Jiang Liu.

Directly in front, inside a low "house" made of rusty iron sheets, a person pushed open the door and came out. It was a huge, fat man who looked quite slovenly.

Behind him, a green-eyed girl holding a large book and an elderly man with a white beard and hair, but full of energy, slowly walked out.

The girl was Chen Duo.

"You've arrived."

Upon seeing Jiang Liu, Chen Duo smiled and handed him the Hetu Luoshu, saying, "I'm sorry, I couldn't find your other lost item using this book."

"It's alright."

Jiang Liu didn't mind. He took the Hetu and Luoshu, fiddled with the combination locks on the front and back covers, adjusted the Hetu to the pre-heaven Qian position, and moved the Luoshu to the post-heaven Kun position.

Suddenly, a small iron rod, about the length of a chopstick, popped out from one side of the book handle.

Jiang Liu pinched the short stick, turned to the second page of the Hetu Luoshu, the left side was a gold page and the right side was a black page, and began to carve along the illusory lines that spontaneously appeared on the gold page on the left.

Before long, a peculiar array composed of ten circles and twenty-two lines appeared on the gold page.

This is the visual representation of the aura created by the sacred tree on Nathan Island.

The purpose of Jiang Liu creating the Hetu Luoshu was to record the various energy patterns of nature and human beings. He brought the Hetu Luoshu to Nasen Island with Chen Duo, hoping that she could sense the existence of the Samsara Watch and retrieve it in advance. Another purpose was to record the energy patterns of Nasen.

That's right!

Before coming to Nasen Island in person, Jiang Liu had already guessed about the situation on the island, believing that the ability of King Nasen and the Nasen Guard to teleport on the island was due to the aura constructed by the divine tree.

When the Hetu and Luoshu are within the Qi pattern, they will instinctively sense and record the direction of the Qi pattern even without interference.

Jiang Liu has now completely recorded the flow of energy created by the Nasen Divine Tree, but it is not perfect—because the Divine Tree itself has not yet unified its own energy source.

The Hetu Luoshu is composed of gold pages and black pages. The gold pages are used to record the symbols and diagrams of the Qi formation, while the black pages are used to record the methods, principles, and corresponding seals for using the Qi formation to perform spells.

However, since the current Nasen energy situation has not been fully coordinated and unified, Jiang Liu decided to put the Black Page aside for the time being and wait until the Divine Tree has coordinated all the power of its main body before proceeding.

How to coordinate?

That depends on Ma Xianhong—to be honest, Jiang Liu didn't expect Ma Xianhong to come to Nasen Island, but since he's here, he'll naturally kill two birds with one stone.

[Ma Xianhong, by a twist of fate, you have witnessed a kingdom inhabited entirely by extraordinary people. Is this backward civilization truly what you hoped to see?]

Jiang Liu eagerly anticipates the spiritual transformation Ma Xianhong will undergo after this ordeal:

Should we give up on our dreams and focus on finding our lost memories?

Should we continue to explore other possibilities for "everyone to be a dragon"?

There is no perfect solution in this world!

With this thought in mind, Jiang Liu closed the Hetu Luoshu and put it into his storage ring. His gaze fell on Li Muxuan, and he said, "It's been a long time, Li Muxuan. Without me, you've lived such a long life in vain. How pitiful, how pitiful."

Compared to the confused and clueless Li Muxuan in front of him, who just followed the crowd wherever there was excitement, the Li Muxuan that Jiang Liu knew also had many flaws, and was even deceitful, refusing to admit that the Great Ying Immortal had not yet attained enlightenment.

But at least we're still on the right path!

I still know what I want to do in the future!

He still has his own goals for spiritual practice and his own way of being a person!

Who are you?

The elderly Li Muxuan did not recognize Jiang Liu. Seeing that Jiang Liu seemed to know him very well, he was slightly speechless. Then he chuckled, stretched out his right hand, hooked his fingers, and used his magnetic technique. However, his expression changed. He felt another magnetic force cover his own and twist his arm, causing him to twist and somersault to the side.

Snapped!

Li Muxuan immediately severed the magnetic field and dodged to the side. While shocked by the other party's powerful cultivation, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who the hell are you? Who taught you those techniques?"

In that era, all the extraordinary people who knew the art of magnetism would call their magnetism "Reversing the Eight Directions," using it for performing or stealing. But only Ghost Hand King had mastered the art of Reversing the Eight Directions, and even had the potential to establish his own school.

This kid's magnetic skills—

It's like turning everything upside down!

Ghost Hand King's Reversal of Eight Directions!

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you can no longer escape the mess you made back then."

Jiang Liu spoke calmly, ignoring Li Muxuan's surprised and uncertain expression, and continued, "The Great Ying Immortal imparted the Dao to you, but you did not follow it; the Ghost Hand King taught you the skills, but you did not accept them; and as for Wugensheng, although I think he is a troublemaker who thinks he is a saint, at least he has cleared up your doubts. Do you still want to continue to live in a daze and let this go?"

"damn it!"

In an instant, Li Muxuan's hair and beard stood on end, his killing intent erupted, the terrifying atmosphere distorted the air, his Qi vibrated, and the human magnetic field around him formed a force field. He raised his hand and threw out dozens of human magnetic fields, which strangled Jiang Liu.

But Jiang Liu remained unmoved, his mind racing as he practiced the Water and Fire Technique. With a slight ripple around his body, the magnetic field of the person who was near him collapsed, transforming into the purest form of Qi, which vanished in an instant.

Upon seeing this.

Li Muxuan was taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and questioned, "Who exactly are you? Are you Wugensheng's son?"

"Son? If we're really talking about seniority, I'm his peer."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan's eyes twitched, then he burst into laughter, saying, "Good lad! You're arrogant enough! I don't care who you are, or how you learned to reverse the eight directions, or any methods similar to Wugensheng, but this is a marketplace!"

# Chapter 647 The upper trigram Gen and the lower trigram Xun are called "Gu", which is interchangeable with "Gu".

Nathan can be broadly divided into three regions.

The Northern Market, the Southern Paradise, and the Central Kingdom of Nathan.

among them.

Northern markets place the utmost emphasis on fair trade...

of course.

In Li Muxuan's eyes, the so-called fair trade was nothing but nonsense, but he brought it up now in order to put pressure on Jiang Liu from the market members.

Perhaps the large book in Chen Duo's hand actually belonged to Jiang Liu, and Chen Duo herself was willing to return it to Jiang Liu, but the other members of the market would not accept it.

Fair trade.

There must be actual transactions involved.

But now Chen Duo has unilaterally handed the items over to Jiang Liu... This precedent cannot be set, otherwise, will the market members be allowed to buy on credit in the future? Or will they be able to play the emotional card?

Nobody wants to see the rules broken.

Furthermore.

The market also received news that someone had broken a golden branch and that Behemoth was going to interfere with Nathan, so most of the people present were a little restless and wanted to vent their frustrations.

Although the people of the market are not fools, they will not fight to the death against an opponent they cannot defeat.

But is the river invincible?

Li Muxuan knew perfectly well that Jiang Liu's cultivation was unfathomable.

But he was certain that no one else would think that way!

After all, although Li Muxuan suffered a setback at Jiang Liu's hands, Jiang Liu did not show much ability. Moreover, the effect of that move just now would only give others the impression that Jiang Liu's ability was just right to counter Li Muxuan's Reversal of Eight Directions!

Given Jiang Liu's appearance and age, it's likely that many people will be willing to give him a try.

That's going to be a lot of fun!

"Kid, you took Chen Duo's things, so you have to pay a price." A gaunt, shirtless man with blond hair stepped forward and grinned maliciously. "You have to pay some price."

"Makes sense."

Jiang Liu ignored the other person and just looked at Chen Duo, "You've been keeping my lost items safe for many years, what do you want?"

"I don't know, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate."

Chen Duo didn't want anything.

In fact, since arriving on Nathan Island, she has quickly adapted to life there. Although it is not as bustling as the outside world, it brings her a sense of peace.

The forty-eight children who died back then, and Liao Zhong, whom she killed, all wished she could live. And now, her choice is—

I will live up to their expectations and live a good life here.

That's enough.

"Is that how you see it? Then I'll adjust your Nine Apertures and Eight Meridians cultivation technique a little."

Jiang Liu pressed on Chen Duo's Baihui acupoint, channeling Qi through the nine orifices and reversing the flow of Qi through the eight meridians, causing the nine orifices to tremble. Based on the Yang orifice, he constructed a pre-heaven Gen trigram; and he also caused the eight meridians to pulsate, constructing a post-heaven Xun trigram through the movement of Qi.

The Later Heaven Xun hexagram supplements the Earlier Heaven Gen hexagram. The upper trigram Gen represents a mountain, and the lower trigram Xun represents wind, which is the image of wind under a mountain. This is "Gu", which is also "Gu".

Zisi said: The Book of Changes is in accordance with Heaven and Earth, therefore it can encompass the Way of Heaven and Earth. By looking up to observe the heavens and down to examine the earth, one can understand the reasons for the hidden and the manifest.

What is meant by "the reason for the existence of the unseen and the manifest"?

That is: the way of heaven and earth.

The way of Heaven is that everything returns to its origin.

The way of the earth is that there is no flat land without slopes.

The way of man is to be trustworthy in one's heart.

Fu means "to return", which is the reason for the existence of heaven and earth.

Therefore, "蛊" is interchangeable with "故", and its name comes from the hexagram image.

Then why is the most suitable cultivation method for Chen Duo to construct the innate Gen trigram with the nine orifices and to form the acquired Xun trigram with the eight meridians?

This leads us to the origin of the word "故".

Gen represents mountain, and Xun represents wind. Why is the wind at the foot of the mountain called "gu"?

Wind, also known as the eight winds.
