Having chosen the first Hexagram to construct, Li Xingkong began working on building Hexagram.
It's quite a coincidence, really. The Qian Hexagram is the first hexagram in the Eight Trigrams, and Li Xingkong is currently doing the work of the first cultivator in the entire Earth Star civilization. His actions and words naturally align with the Qian Hexagram.
Although he didn't consider this aspect when choosing the Qian Hexagram, many things in the world are just like that—coincidences, perhaps it was destiny.
With the hexagram lines in hand, the process of constructing the Hexagram is more than half complete. The remaining task is to proceed step by step and construct the Hexagram according to the Foundation Establishment Method.
Although this task is not difficult in theory or practice, it still requires a lot of time to actually carry it out.
Although Li Xingkong was still in seclusion during this period, his mind was indeed much more relaxed than in the previous stage. When he first constructed the hexagrams, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but now, when he constructed them for the second, third, and even nth time, he was already very familiar with the process.
I wouldn't say I can do it blindfolded, but I can succeed at least nine times out of ten.
The success rate of constructing hexagrams and lines has increased, and the time he takes to construct Hexagram has also visibly decreased.
At this moment, Li Xingkong felt less like a cultivator and more like an old factory worker meticulously crafting the handicrafts in his hands every day.
Immersed in his work every day, Li Xingkong once again lost track of how much time had passed.
When he turned the page again with the Foundation Establishment Method, he found that the relevant techniques for constructing Hexagram in the Foundation Establishment Method had finally come to an end, and Li Xingkong stopped what he was doing.
With all the hexagram lines gathered, it's time to construct the Hexagram.
The process of constructing the Hexagram reminded Li Xingkong of the Lego toys he used to play with, except that this toy was an extremely miniature version.
With the coordination of Li Xingkong's Divine Sense and Spiritual Qi, the various hexagram components that were originally scattered near Li Xingkong's Divine Sense Seed began to twist and turn. As the Spiritual Qi energy moved, these components began to move towards their designated positions.
After a series of assembly steps that would be considered extremely complex even by Spiritual Qi, the components were rapidly combined to form several square modules.
When the hexagrams and lines were first combined, Li Xingkong could still see some of the components with sharp edges and corners exposed. However, as the process of building the Hexagram gradually came to an end, three long, rectangular modules were finally formed.
After the three long strips were formed, as the Spiritual Qi controlled the Hexagram to return to their positions, and the strips took on the shape of the Qian Hexagram, they inexplicably connected together.
The three long strips appear to be independent of each other, but in Li Xingkong's view, they have become a whole, moving forward and backward together, as if they were born as one.
The Hexagram result was complete, Li Xingkong was somewhat nervous.
Only one step remains: activate my Divine Sense and trigger the Hexagram. If successful, I will have truly entered the Foundation Establishment.
If it fails, then they'll have to start all over again. Although Li Xingkong can accept this outcome, who knows how long that will take.
I examined the Hexagram repeatedly with my Divine Sense. Although I didn't activate it, its appearance and the structure it formed were indeed very consistent with the description in the Foundation Establishment Method. It was highly likely that it had been successfully completed.
Instead of rushing to activate it, Li Xingkong first calmed his mind and waited until his body was in optimal condition before holding his breath and focusing his Divine Sense on the generated Hexagram.
As his Divine Sense enveloped the entire Hexagram, Li Xingkong began to channel his Magic Power Magic Power into Hexagram.
With the arrival of Divine Sense and Magic Power, the Hexagram that had been quietly floating beside the Divine Sense Seed began to stir.
Li Xingkong felt as if a hole had appeared in his brain, and his Magic Power was being swallowed up by this hole like a river.
This intense feeling of being devoured seemed to be draining all of Li Xingkong's Magic Power Magic Power, constantly absorbing it from his entire Li Xingkong. Moreover, this absorption force grew stronger and stronger over time, and even expanded.
The feeling of being devoured only disappeared when Li Xingkong felt his Magic Power was almost depleted, with only a faint trace of Magic Power remaining in his Qi Sea, and even his protective spells were barely holding up.
After the feeling of being devoured disappeared, Li Xingkong examined the Hexagram again, and the originally unremarkable Hexagram had now changed drastically.
The entire Hexagram floated around the Divine Sense Seed of Divine Sense Seed, slowly rotating around it. The Hexagram, which originally seemed unremarkable, was now shimmering with golden light. Upon closer inspection, it appeared as if countless tiny characters were rotating within this light.
But I can't make out what's written on it.
Besides his appearance, when Li Xingkong activated his Divine Sense, he discovered that his brain seemed to be different.
It felt like he was using a PHS phone the day before yesterday and had switched to the latest smartphone today. Li Xingkong felt as if his brain had leaped into several eras.
My thinking speed and memory have undergone tremendous changes compared to before.
Moreover, many issues that originally required further consideration no longer need to be considered. As soon as he sees a problem, the answer naturally appears in his mind.
After cultivating the Divine Sense Seed, Li Xingkong had already mastered the ability of synesthesia. After the Qian Hexagram was unlocked, the effect of forming the surrounding environment in the brain, which originally required observation through the six senses and analysis, could now be formed directly.
He doesn't need to subconsciously give orders or pay attention to anything.
It was as if this was a supernatural power he was born with.
All these phenomena and feedback from various parties told Li Xingkong one thing: he had truly mastered the Qian Hexagram.
The Hexagram result is complete; I can now truly call myself a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Congratulations! Let's raise a toast!
Li Xingkong really wanted to leap up and laugh out loud.
It's a pity that I'm on the moon now, with no one else around, so I have no one to share this joy with.
No rush. Once he's out of quarantine and arrives at the lunar base, we'll celebrate for days and nights to come.
Having calmed his mind, Li Xingkong prepared to break through the cave and leave the seclusion, but just as he was about to cleave open the blocked entrance with a single blow, the weak Magic Power in his body made him shudder.
Activating the Hexagram had already used up nine-tenths of his Magic Power, leaving Magic Power with so little that he couldn't even unleash a single sword Sword Qi.
Well, although I'm very happy today, I still have to wait for my Magic Power to recover. Besides, I just broke through to the Foundation Establishment, and I haven't had time to take care of my image over the years. If I jump out like this, I'm afraid I'll really be mistaken for an alien.
Before breaking through the barrier, one should first take care of oneself, at least to appear like a wise and enlightened person.
