Yi Gege Is So Amazing!

Half a month later.

Above Stone Village, Shi Yi sat suspended in the air. Nine Cavern Heavens resembling volcanic craters continuously swallowed and expelled the energy of heaven and earth, looking like nine blazing suns.

Together with the sun already hanging in the sky, it was as though ten suns had appeared at once, endlessly radiating light and heat.

Fortunately, Shi Yi's Nine Celestial Passages only resembled suns and were not actual suns. Otherwise, Stone Village—and even the entire Great Wilderness—would have long since been scorched to ashes.

Yet no one in Stone Village could understand why Shi Yi was sitting in midair and summoning his Nine Celestial Passages. Even the Willow Deity did not understand what he was trying to do.

She could not be blamed for that.

The main reason was that Shi Yi was currently using certain Daoist concepts from the Azure Blue Planet of his previous life to open the Tenth Celestial Passage, one that could only be opened when life and death hung by a thread.

Daoism emphasized purity and non-action. Fighting and killing were not its mainstream, whereas the cultivation philosophy of this world was battle, battle, battle—kill, kill, kill—seeking breakthroughs through endless slaughter and combat.

This was the Willow Deity's blind spot. She was accustomed to slaughter, had killed the Foreign Domain into trembling fear, and was also accustomed to seeking breakthroughs in battle. She could not comprehend such Daoist theories of purity and non-action.

But if she truly comprehended Daoist thought, or even integrated the theories of another world, then breaking through the King Realm and becoming an Emperor might not be impossible.

However, Shi Yi had only just picked up the Daoist theories of his previous life again. For the time being, she could not gain much insight from him.

The current Willow Deity merely felt that Shi Yi seemed to have taken a different path. Though he cultivated the Original True Understanding, he had incorporated some of his own ideas into it.

This was not the creation of an entirely new cultivation method.

Shi Yi was far from having such talent and brilliance.

He had merely incorporated some other things into the foundation of the Original True Understanding. And those things were not even his own; they all came from the Daoist theories of that Azure Blue Planet.

"The God Guiding Chapter of the Original True Understanding may be the supreme cultivation method of this world, but it mainly discusses the application of runes. It is the foundation of foundations in this world, like written words themselves. It is not inherently profound."

"Therefore, the best way for cultivators in this world to advance is through battle. Only by improving themselves in battle and comprehending their own path through the tempering of life and death, blood and fire, can they achieve limit sublimation."

Shi Yi carefully recalled the contents of the God Guiding Chapter of the Original True Understanding recorded on the Runic Bone Fragment, while allowing the violent and surging energy of heaven and earth to pour into his body through the Nine Celestial Passages.

At this moment, he was fully activating his Double Pupils, analyzing his memories from his previous life frame by frame, including Daoist True Words he had only glimpsed once and had never deliberately tried to remember.

This was perfectly normal.

Shi Yi could use the true blood of the Flame Kirin to peer into its Bloodline Inheritance Precious Technique, the Kirin Steps. He could also use his Double Pupils to peer into—no, analyze—everything he had seen in his previous life: people, events, and objects.

Even if he had merely glanced at those people, events, and objects without remembering them at all, his Double Pupils could make him recall those fleeting things anew.

"One Origin, Two Forms, Three Powers, Four Symbols, Five, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, Ten Directions... the Celestial Passage Realm secretly accords with these mysteries, yet is completely different."

"If I want to break through to Ten Celestial Passages, forcing it definitely will not work. Unless I gamble with my life, I might only find the opportunity when life and death hang by a thread."

Shi Yi slowly opened his eyes. The nine great Celestial Passages behind him grew increasingly brilliant, while a hazy, ethereal Celestial Passage in their center flickered between reality and illusion, as though it would appear in the next instant.

But even with all nine great Celestial Passages exerting themselves together and pouring vast amounts of heaven and earth energy into Shi Yi's body for half a month, they still could not turn the Tenth Celestial Passage from illusion into reality.

"Yet if I use that method to break through to Ten Celestial Passages, there is a high chance that I will know only what it is, not why it is so."

"Like the precious bones within fierce beasts. Fierce beasts can use their innate Treasure Techniques, but they may not necessarily understand how those Treasure Techniques are actually used."

At that thought,

Shi Yi seemed to understand something. His Double Pupils shone ever more brilliantly. Among the nine great Celestial Passages arranged in a circle behind him, the faintly visible Tenth Celestial Passage at the center actually began to show the slightest sign of turning real.

No wonder it was so fast.

Cultivators of this world all used brute-force trial and error, exhausting every possible method to stimulate their bodies' potential. They even resorted to the great terror between life and death to force their bodies to break through and forcibly open the gate to Ten Celestial Passages.

Shi Yi was different. He used his brain. Like someone cracking a puzzle, he searched for the key before the gate of Ten Celestial Passages. As long as he found the key, he could easily open that gate.

At that very moment, Shi Yi's mind was storming wildly. With the aid of his Double Pupils, Daoist theories he had only occasionally read out of curiosity in his previous life continuously emerged from the depths of his soul.

One Daoist True Word after another resounded in his mind.

It was as though they were actively helping him evolve the Tenth Celestial Passage.

"One Origin is Chaos. Chaos is the great beginning. With One Origin beginning anew, all things are renewed. Heaven and earth are boundless; the boundless gives birth to heaven. Time and space are endless. Space is the universe, time is eternity. Things have roots and branches, matters have beginnings and endings. Know what comes first and what comes after, and one is close to the Dao."

"Two Forms are yin and yang. All things carry yin and embrace yang. One yin and one yang are called the Dao. Yin and yang are the Two Forms, the two energies of yin and yang. Chaos gives birth to the two energies of yin and yang. Clear energy rises to become heaven, turbid energy sinks to become earth. Extreme yang gives birth to yin, extreme yin transforms into yang. Yin and yang form Taiji."

"Three Powers are heaven, earth, and humanity. The two energies of yin and yang give birth to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth nurture humanity. Thus the Three Powers emerge. There is the way of heaven, the way of humanity, and the way of earth. Combined, they form the Three Powers and Three Lights. The Three Powers are heaven, earth, and humanity; the Three Lights are the sun, moon, and stars."

"Four Symbols: Taiji gives birth to Two Forms, Two Forms give birth to Four Symbols. The yin and yang of the Four Symbols are distinct: lesser yang, greater yang, lesser yin, and greater yin."

"Four Symbols, the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon in the east, White Tiger in the west, Vermilion Bird in the south, Black Tortoise in the north."

"The divine beasts possess spirit, each with its own attribute: Azure Dragon is wood, White Tiger is metal, Vermilion Bird is fire, Black Tortoise is water. They are called Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and are also known as all things in the world."

"Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They are benevolence, wisdom, trustworthiness, righteousness, and propriety. They are called virtue."

"There are five origins: origin nature, origin spirit, origin, origin emotions, and origin essence. All things in the universe lie within the Five Elements."

"Six Harmonies: body, heart, intent, qi, essence, and spirit."

"The body harmonizes with the heart, the heart harmonizes with intent, intent harmonizes with qi, qi harmonizes with essence, essence harmonizes with spirit, and spirit harmonizes with emptiness. Of a person's six spirits, not one can be lacking."

"People have six desires: life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, and nose."

"Seven Stars: Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang—the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper. Tian Shu is Greedy Wolf, Tian Xuan is Giant Gate, Tian Ji is Prosperity Storage, Tian Quan is Literary Star, Yu Heng is Lian Zhen, Kai Yang is Martial Star, and Yao Guang is Army Breaker."

"People have seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, thought, grief, fear, and shock."

The Daoist sounds thundered, and his soul trembled.

Of the nine Celestial Passages behind Shi Yi, seven were already trembling wildly. Just like his soul, they trembled without end, as though undergoing some unimaginable transformation.

"Eight Trigrams: Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Dui."

"Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Zhen represents thunder, Gen represents mountain, Xun represents wind, and Dui represents marsh."

"The Innate Eight Trigrams: Qian in the south, Kun in the north, Li in the east, Kan in the west, Dui in the southeast, Zhen in the northeast, Xun in the southwest, and Gen in the northwest."

"People have Eight Gates: Rest Gate, Life Gate, Hurt Gate, Block Gate, Scene Gate, Death Gate, Surprise Gate, and Open Gate."

The eighth Daoist sound rang out.

The eight Celestial Passages behind Shi Yi trembled wildly, as though they were about to collapse. At the same time, an Innate Eight Trigrams Formation appeared beneath his feet, instantly enveloping the entire Stone Village.

As time passed, the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation showed no sign of stopping. It spread all the way across the Vast Mountain Range before finally ceasing its outward expansion.

Such a shocking phenomenon even affected the heavens above. The Golden Giant Claw and Little Red Bird, who had been fighting for two years, both curiously looked toward the Vast Mountain Range where Stone Village was located.

At the same time, the Willow Deity watched this astonishing scene.

She was somewhat confused. Was Shi Yi not trying to break through to Ten Celestial Passages?

But judging by this commotion, why did it feel as though Shi Yi was re-evolving his nine Celestial Passages?

And the phenomenon was so astonishing.

What kind of Celestial Passages was he evolving?

"Is Yi Ge'er even human? We are both in the Celestial Passage Realm, so why do I feel like an ant before him?"

"Exactly. Though there are differences between Celestial Passage Realm experts, isn't this gap a little too exaggerated?"

"Yi Gege is so amazing!"

"Hu Niu, your Yi Gege is indeed impressive. He can casually cultivate and produce such a heaven-shaking phenomenon, but that does not mean I am not impressive too."

"Get lost!"

"So domineering. I refuse to believe your Yi Gege will have only one woman in the future. Just wait until he abandons you."
