Lu Qing spoke with this senior brother for a while.

Then he began arranging his own affairs.

For Lu Qing, the emergence of the hexagrams was the first thing he needed to examine.

The previous Calamity Avoidance hexagrams had remained silent for a long time. Lu Qing had thought they might appear at the next step.

Yet sometimes, human calculations could not surpass Heaven's designs.

There was no heavenly principle by which everything proceeded steadily and securely.

On the path of cultivation, peace and stability had always been temporary.

[The Strange Gate appears in the cosmos; a world lies beyond the gate. Creation is deep and mysterious; much may be gained from creation.]

The opening words of the hexagram were as usual. It seemed this hexagram would not carry great danger.

Lu Qing lowered his gaze.

As his divine sense turned,

several hexagrams descended like streaks of flowing light.

[Minor Misfortune Hexagram: The supreme treasure Strange Gate connects the heavens of myriad worlds. Creation may be gained, creation may not be gained. After personally entering the gate, you seek the Great Dao for enlightenment, but enter a world within the cosmos. The Dao of Heaven and Earth within is profoundly mysterious, its laws abstruse. You become immersed in cultivation. A hundred years pass, and you remain immersed in cultivation. A thousand years pass, and you remain immersed in cultivation... After countless ages, you remain immersed in cultivation, finally breaking free from seclusion. Creation may be gained or not gained; a delicate spiritual heart covers the true Dao. A sign of minor misfortune: no danger to life, but peril upon the Dao path. Minor misfortune.]

An exceedingly strange hexagram was the first to enter Lu Qing's sight.

"Looks like I cannot enter the gate in person."
