Mutual Generation and Restraint, the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams

"The Sage Tours the Heavens, Three Realms bow in reverence!"

On the ferry to Flying Sky Stockade, Wu Xian looked up at the scene of Shanggui Star crashing into the Gouchen Heavenly Palace and couldn't help but let out a low sigh. Since the timeline changed, Li Boyang had not changed his origin.

But the legend of the Dao Ancestor has already transcended the Long River of Time.

The Tushita Palace existed for 20,000 years, almost simultaneously with the creation of the Heavenly Realm.

During these 20,000 years, whenever the Three Realms were in turmoil, the phenomenon of "Sage Tours the Heavens" would occur.

Wu Xian, who lived for thousands of years, personally witnessed two "Sage Tours the Heavens".

Therefore, when he noticed the unusual movement in the starry sky, he almost immediately determined what was going on.

"Sage Tours the Heavens?"

Following closely behind Wu Xian, Qiongxiao tilted her head and asked in confusion.

This was the first time Qiongxiao had seen the strange old man show such a clear change in expression since they met.

Despite the other party repeatedly claiming that they were not Mountain Folk.

But Qiongxiao still instinctively felt that the other party must have some kind of close connection with the Mountain Folk.

This turned from speculation into reality when the other party transferred to this ferry to head to Flying Sky Stockade, which was marked as a "restricted area" on the Navigation Map. "I said, you two girls don't need to follow me around like this, do you?"

Turning his head with a sense of helplessness, Wu Xian somewhat regretted his loose tongue.

Over thousands of years, this tendency to be a know-it-all has almost become an instinct for Wu Xian.

"If we continue forward a little further, we'll reach the real Flying Sky Stockade, a place where outsiders are never allowed to enter."

Upon hearing this, before Qiongxiao could say anything, Bixiao, who had been eating nearby, took the initiative to come closer.

"Ugh... Don't try to change the subject..."

"Hmm... I'm also very curious about what ' the Sage Tours the Heavens ' means..."

It puffed out its cheeks like a hamster and mumbled something.

This was the first time Bixiao had realized that the food outside was actually so delicious.

Especially in these Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the ferries and bronze trains along the way offer special meals, the deliciousness of which is far superior to that of the wild and uncivilized Longbo Kingdom.

Bixiao had even made preparations to buy a large quantity of spices prepared by the Mountain Folk before returning.

With the addition of those spices, even a simple grilled meat can be mouthwatering.

Of course, Wu Xian also taught them about spices and some unconventional cooking methods. At least for Bixiao, who was still somewhat primitive just a few days ago, those frying, stir-frying, and braising methods were completely new to her. "The Sage Tours the Heavens" means the Sage Tours the Heavens of Heaven.

With a slight sigh, Wu Xian finally spoke again.

After all, these two women are no ordinary people; one is a true Heavenly Deity, and the other is Innate Deity who has already cultivated to the level of Yin Deity. "The Heavenly Realm is divided into Thirty-Three Heavens, forming an order completely different from the mortal world."

"Among these Thirty-Three Heavens, there is one called ' Tushita Heaven,' which is the location of the Dao Ancestor's incarnation and is also the legendary 'Land of Dimensional Ascension.'"

Seeing the bewildered looks on Qiongxiao and Bixiao's faces, Wu Xian took the initiative to explain without them having to ask.

"As you all know, the Three Realms are constantly evolving and transforming."

"Just as life is constantly growing, the Three Realms system constructed by the Dao Ancestor also possesses a similar nature."

"The three worlds are like a contradictory spiral; a change in one will trigger changes in the other two, thus driving the overall Yin-Yang Balance." The Dao Ancestor called this process "dimensional ascension."

"It is a benign sublimation of mutual generation and restraint, dynamic balance."

Simply put, this is a twisted mechanism where one foot steps on the other, constantly ascending to heaven.

From Wu Xian's perspective, he has always felt that this so-called "balancing mechanism" is incredibly powerful.

Whose Yin-Yang Balance is a spiraling upward progression?

Let alone the world, this mechanism is utterly unsolvable even when applied to an individual.

As far as Wu Xian knew, some of the bolder individuals among the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain had begun attempting to replicate this balancing mechanism in individuals. In this process, "Tushita Heaven" served as a key.

"Once the ' Yin-Yang Balance mechanism' of the Three Realms is broken, ' Tushita Heaven ' will react immediately..."

"At that time, the Dao Ancestor's incarnation in Tushita Heaven might even personally intervene to create a new balance."

Thus, the so-called "Sage Tours the Heavens" came into being.

At this point, Wu Xian suddenly paused, and with a slightly confused expression, looked up at the sky again.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Wu Xian's pause, Qiongxiao, who was engrossed in listening, instinctively pressed for an answer.

"I have been fortunate enough to witness the grand spectacle of the ' Sage Tours the Heavens ' twice..."

"But every time is different from this time."

Seeing that Qiongxiao and Bixiao both looked puzzled, Wu Xian took out a Bagua Compass from his pocket.

The pointer on the Bagua Compass spun continuously, and Wu Xian muttered incantations under his breath.

It didn't take long for the confusion on Wu Xian's face to gradually turn into astonishment, realization, and speechlessness.

"Is that the Bagua Compass?"

They were careful not to disturb Wu Xian, who was deep in thought.

As Bixiao chewed her food, she gently tugged at Qiongxiao's sleeve.

In this day and age, the Bagua Compass is almost the introductory Law Artifact for learning divination.

Unfortunately, the future Cult Master Tongtian was not skilled in divination, so Qiongxiao and Bixiao never truly studied divination.

"What did you calculate?"

Ignoring her younger sister, Qiongxiao also looked thoughtfully at the hexagrams on the Bagua Compass.

Unfortunately, Qiongxiao couldn't understand the meaning of the divination at all; she could only vaguely sense that it revealed something strange that defied common sense. "Can you understand it?"

Noticing Qiongxiao's gaze, it was now Wu Xian's turn to look at her with a surprised expression.

"No, I haven't learned this..."

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Qiongxiao, and said in a low voice with some uncertainty.

"But I can sense that this divination seems somewhat... unusual."

Unable to find a precise adjective, Qiongxiao could only use "abnormal" to describe her feelings at that moment.

You have a real talent for this.

Wu Xian paused for a moment before continuing.

"This is not the ' Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams ' created by the Dao Ancestor, but the ' Later Heaven Eight Trigrams ' evolved by the current Witch King of the Great Xia Dynasty, Fu Kui."

"The Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams originate from the perspective of the Dao Ancestor, emphasizing the big picture, yin and yang, balance, and the orderly symmetry of all things."

"This Later Heaven Eight Trigrams, from the perspective of us mortals, focuses on circulation, mutual generation and restraint, and how to rewrite unfavorable situations." (Monthly ticket, Lunwang/Female C recommendation ticket, Xinwang)
