"The way of yin and yang lay within the Five Elements, with methods for the yin Five Elements and the yang Five Elements."
"Applied to the Eight Trigrams, they corresponded to Dui, Zhen, Kun, Qian, Xun, and Gen, which represented metal, wood, and earth!"
"The first three were close to the earth and thus yin, while the latter three were close to the heavens and thus yang. We human cultivators are divided into men and women, corresponding to yang and yin."
Su Shi'er pondered as he voiced his conjecture, offering what he believed was a possible explanation.
Ling Yue Shang hurriedly asked again, "Daoist Tianshan, do you mean that if I possessed Formation Dao attainments and secret arts like yours—"
"Then if the two of us each cast our own techniques, we would enter different regions within the metal, wood, and earth formation areas?"
Her eyes flickered as she spoke. Clearly, she had ideas of her own as well.
"Judging from the results so far, that should be the case."
Su Shi'er nodded but did not speak too definitively.
Although he was already inclined to believe that the formation here was closely tied to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams—
When facing such a grand formation, he did not dare claim that this was all there was to it.
"Whether that is the case or not, the yin and yang Daoist Tianshan mentioned are indeed the most obvious factors."
"But if that is so, then if either one of us had entered this formation alone—or if there had been two men or two women—then even with astonishing Formation Dao attainments, we would have been unable to glimpse the full picture of this formation?"
"Isn't that... too much of a coincidence?"
After pondering for a moment, Ling Yue Shang spoke again.
