The energy problem has been temporarily solved, and the first step of this seclusion has been successfully completed. The main purpose of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation is still on the Divine Sense. In other words, nearly three years have passed since the seclusion began, and Li Xingkong has not actually started proper Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation. Up to now, his previous cultivation has been a kind of indirect foundation building, supplementing his Qi Refining stage from the perspective of Foundation Establishment.
Only when his Magic Power recovery speed was sufficient to support the execution of the " Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method " did Li Xingkong begin to formally begin his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.
After all, no one was rushing him, and there was no urgent matter that required him to have sufficient combat power immediately. Li Xingkong could proceed steadily and cultivate step by step, which was the best way to cultivate.
The " Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method " is in harmony with the Eight Trigrams, which consist of eight Hexagram. Each Hexagram has different characteristics and is good at handling different matters. The Qian Hexagram that Li Xingkong has now built is better at deducing and creating cultivation techniques. This is a choice that Li Xingkong made after careful consideration.
Now that Li Xingkong's Magic Power recovery speed has increased, he plans to complete the construction of the remaining Hexagram and fully master this foundation -Foundation Establishment Method during the second phase of his seclusion.
Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun.
Since Li Xingkong chose the first hexagram, Qian Hexagram, when he began his cultivation, his subsequent cultivation would naturally follow the order of the Eight Trigrams. In any case, Li Xingkong planned to master all these Hexagram during this seclusion, so the order didn't matter; he could just follow the existing order.
The second hexagram is Dui Hexagram, which represents a Hexagram, symbolizing growth and nourishment, as well as communication and exchange. However, its specific role in cultivation is somewhat of a double-edged sword for Li Xingkong at the moment.
In the Foundation Establishment Method, the main focus is on this meaning of communication. After constructing the Dui Hexagram, there will be no obstacle to language communication for Li Xingkong. On the one hand, the Dui Hexagram can quickly analyze the meaning of words from the language itself. On the other hand, if it is communicating face-to-face with intelligent beings, it can also directly read the other party's thoughts and conduct cross-species communication, or even simple communication with plants and animals, through a way similar to telepathy.
The power of this Hexagram is simple in some ways—it's nothing more than a universal translator—but in others, its complexity is so great that Li Xingkong could hardly fathom the logic behind it.
Existing translators rely on big data support and massive databases to translate languages. However, the Dui Hexagram is different. Its working principle is to directly analyze the other party's language and text on the spot, quickly deciphering it so that both parties can communicate quickly and without barriers. Such capabilities require a lot of computing power and are not as simple as one might imagine.
As a supplementary Hexagram, it is undoubtedly very useful. At least for Li Xingkong, he will need this Hexagram sooner or later. Putting aside when he will encounter aliens, just the fact that it can read minds and communicate with people's thoughts is powerful enough.
Even without this Hexagram, Li Xingkong could still read minds; there are specialized spells that can achieve this effect. However, human thoughts are ever-changing. A person might be communicating verbally while their mind is elsewhere—this is a common occurrence. Spells, after all, have a limited lifespan. But once this Hexagram is formed, it's like a person's limbs, constantly at work. Simply put, it's the difference between active and passive skills.
Since the order has reached the Dui Hexagram, Li Xingkong won't be picky and will start with it.
When Li Xingkong first constructed the Qian Hexagram, it took Li Xingkong three years to understand Hexagram structure and construct its Hexagram lines. This time, however, the construction time was significantly shorter. Firstly, he had the assistance of the Qian Hexagram Hexagram, and secondly, with the addition of Divine Sense, Li Xingkong was much higher, greatly reducing the chances of errors during the process.
Besides improving accuracy, Divine Sense can also be used to manipulate objects. In addition, with the current revival of Spiritual Qi, Li Xingkong can mobilize a lot more Spiritual Qi, allowing him to use both hands simultaneously and multitask, which further improves the efficiency of his construction.
In conclusion, after Li Xingkong devoted himself wholeheartedly to this task for six months, the second Hexagram was finally completed.
This Hexagram was also placed around the Divine Sense. According to the Hexagram's orientation, it was placed to the side of the Qian Hexagram. After the two Hexagram came into contact, some mysterious changes occurred. They adjusted their paths and then fixed their relative directions according to the Eight Trigrams trigrams.
No matter how they are moved, the relative positions between the two Hexagram remain unchanged; this is also the effect after the same Foundation Establishment Method is completed.
The Dui Hexagram has been constructed, but its function cannot be tested at this moment. After all, no one will disturb him during his seclusion, and Li Xingkong has even set up layers of formations so that no living being can enter his seclusion room.
Without a suitable object to test its Hexagram, Li Xingkong had no choice but to turn his attention to the next Hexagram.
The next Hexagram is Li Trigram, Hexagram Li Xingkong is very familiar with, after all, everyone has heard of the power of fire in Li.
The Li Trigram Hexagram one of the few among the eight Hexagram that is purely for combat. This Hexagram excels in all aspects related to killing and warfare, calculating the opponent's weaknesses, the actual timing of the attack, the damage effect, as well as the opponent's attack range, dodging path, and so on. Because opportunities in battle are fleeting and situations are unpredictable, the Li Trigram requires a very high burst of speed, and when activated, it consumes significantly more Magic Power than other Hexagram.
However, the importance of this Hexagram cannot be ignored. In battles against others, whether it is one person or multiple people, this Hexagram can play an unimaginable role.
When Li Xingkong was in the Qi Refining Stage, he hadn't learned much close-combat skills. When he got into a fight, he would start with Shotgun Spell, relying on his reaction speed and magic to fight. He mainly relied on his high cultivation level to fight ordinary people and hadn't fought against people of similar skill level much, so his combat skills were slightly lacking.
However, with the assistance of the Li Trigram, Li Xingkong's disadvantage in battle will no longer exist. It will take into account every factor on the battlefield and give Li Xingkong the optimal solution.
After learning about the function of the Li Trigram, Li Xingkong then began refining the Hexagram.
Despite the variations, the underlying structure remains the same. Regardless of the function of the Hexagram, its basic composition is consistent, and the creation of the Li Trigram is not much more difficult than that of other Hexagram.
