Seizing a Sliver of Life
Simply put, the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams is the "essence," while the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams is the "application."
Once you've learned the "essence," you'll naturally learn its "application."
"This is the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams, a method of divination where the deeper one's knowledge, the more accurate the predictions."
"But in this world, not everyone has the opportunity to learn to read and write, or to cultivate themselves..."
"Thus, the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams was created for those illiterate mortals who did not understand cultivation."
"There's no need to study overly complex principles of heaven and earth or the Dao of Yin and Yang. Ordinary people can divine good and bad fortune by memorizing Mnemonic. This is the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams."
Upon hearing Wu Xian's words, Qiongxiao immediately understood.
To put it simply, the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams is derived from the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams. It is a "foolproof divination" method that Fu Kui specifically deduced for the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty. It does not require any knowledge; one can predict good or bad fortune simply by memorizing the Mnemonic.
The Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams also needs to consider various overall situations, Yin and Yang, and balance, while the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams only needs to think about how to Seek Fortune and Avoid Calamity misfortune, and turn danger into safety.
As for the subsequent impact on others and on the world?
That was completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and entirely outside the scope of the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams.
"In other words, you weren't divining about the ' Sage Tours the Heavens 'Sage Tours the Heavens just now, but rather about its impact on you." Looking again at the Bagua Compass in Wu Xian's hand, Qiongxiao understood the source of the anomaly.
"Defying fate and seizing a sliver of hope."
"No matter how the laws of heaven and earth change, I remain constant and unchanging."
"Only by surviving can one be qualified to consider the subsequent impact and changes..."
The content of Luo Qiao's sermons flashed through her mind involuntarily, and Qiongxiao couldn't help but murmur.
The concept of the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams is exactly the same as Luo Qiao's, both emphasizing doing whatever it takes to seize that fleeting glimmer of hope.
However, this inevitably affects the overall trend of the hexagrams, which is why Qiongxiao sensed the anomaly. "You're right, this is the essence of the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams."
At this moment, Wu Xian's gaze towards Qiongxiao was no longer one of surprise, but rather one of genuine delight at seeing a prey.
This is a very talented child.
His understanding of divination, in particular, is visibly spiritual.
Considering that the other party is a Heavenly Deity who was born in accordance with the will of Heaven, this concept of "defying the will of Heaven" becomes even more valuable.
"I'm saying, can we please stop discussing that ' Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams' and 'Later Heaven Eight Trigrams' stuff...?"
"You still haven't told us what's different about this 'Sage's Sage Tours the Heavens '?"
Bixiao's eyes darted between Wu Xian and Qiongxiao a few times before she decisively interrupted their conversation.
Because she was very familiar with this atmosphere; this was the look a teacher gave a top student.
When Luo Qiao preached, he would often look at Yunxiao and Qiongxiao with this kind of gaze, and then he would go on to have a long, obscure discussion that he couldn't understand at all.
"There are many differences, but there's only one crucial point."
Although Bixiao interrupted their conversation, Wu Xian was not angry. Instead, he smiled patiently.
"Every time Sage Tours the Heavens the heavens in the past, it has brought about earth-shattering changes to the Three Realms."
But this "Sage Tours the Heavens" brought no change to the world.
Upon hearing this, Bixiao immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
"You mean... this isn't earth-shattering?"
Looking in the direction Bixiao pointed, one could see countless fragments of the Heavenly Palace transforming into shooting stars that streaked across the sky.
Amidst the shattered Heavenly Palace and the sky filled with meteorites, the [Heaven-Escaping Boat] desperately dodged and weaved, trying their best to escape that dangerous place. However, these were not the most terrifying things.
What's truly terrifying is that the Shanggui Star, with the terrifying momentum of a "meteorite hitting the Earth," is hurtling straight down towards the ground.
During this process, the Shanggui Star shone with a light even brighter than the sun, and the fiery streams across the sky were clearly visible to the naked eye. Bixiao could hardly imagine the terrifying impact that such a huge "fireball" would have if it were to strike the earth.
Tumultuous!
Just then, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.
The shadow seemed to appear out of thin air, unfolding from nothing in less than a second.
As the shadow fully unfolded, the previously menacing "fireball" suddenly paused, along with the fragments of the Heavenly Palace. Then, everyone saw the true form of the Shanggui Star.
That was an angry "eyeball".
A surging ocean of liquid metal churns on the planet's surface.
Countless "Death Omen Herald" desperately tried to stop their planet from falling.
Of course, many more "those Death Omen Herald" also chose to flee the present-day Shanggui Star.
After all, the fall of the Shanggui Star does not mean the death of the Shanggui Star Lord.
As followers of the Shanggui Star Lord Shanggui Star Lord, the "Death Omen Herald" have every opportunity to await his return.
As for the ordinary beings who settled on the Shanggui Star?
The "Death Omen Herald" no longer cared about anything else; saving their own lives was the top priority.
In this situation, the shadowy net that sought to trap the Shanggui Star became the primary target of the "Death Omen Herald" attackers. "A bunch of idiots!"
In the blink of an eye, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from the shadows.
That was Lu Huaijin's voice.
She simply couldn't believe that such a stupid person existed in the world.
To prevent those "Death Omen Herald" from breaking through the web of shadows and causing the Shanggui Star to fall to earth, she had to devote some of her attention to dealing with them.
Thus, a visible bulge appeared in the shadows.
In an instant, the raised shadows transformed into physical Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect, actively facing those "Death Omen Herald".
Dragon, horse, sheep, fish, tiger, rabbit, bear, snake...
These Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect summoned by Lu Huaijin all inherited some of the appearances of normal creatures.
However, beneath this normal appearance lies a power comparable to that of Ominous Deity.
According to the classification of Loose Immortal, True Immortal, and Golden Immortal, Lu Huaijin is indeed only a Loose Immortal.
However, the current Shanggui Star Lord has also been stripped of his Dao Path, and in terms of rank, he is on par with Lu Huaijin.
Furthermore Shanggui Star Lord was also quite annoyed by the betrayal of these "Death Omen Herald".
Therefore, they were no match for the Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect summoned by Lu Huaijin.
In just a brief exchange, countless "Death Omen Herald" were dragged into the shadows, wailing in agony.
Thanks to this, Lu Huaijin managed to catch his breath, then began to expand his shadow further, attempting to catch the falling Shanggui Star. [To be honest, you're actually quite foolish...]
Just as the shadow was about to completely engulf Shanggui Star, a long, drawn-out sigh reached Lu Huaijin's ears.
Staring in astonishment, Lu Huaijin looked up in the direction of Shanggui Star.
"Shanggui Star Lord?"
The enormous "Eye of the Planet" narrowed slightly, and the voice of Shanggui Star Lord resounded once more.
We are both just pieces on a chessboard, so why make things come to this?
[You stripped me of my position as Star Lord with the "Tushita Edict," making the fall of this Shanggui Star inevitable.]
[And I have completed my mission of destroying Gouchen Heavenly Palace, so how about we each take a step back?]
