Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1225 - 535: River Map and Luo Book
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
Half a year later, Li Yunjing exited the "White Tiger Secret Realm" and headed to the location of the "Black Tortoise Hall".
As Li Yunjing anticipated, the "Black Tortoise Hall" indeed had its own "Black Tortoise Secret Realm".
Li Yunjing met several Supreme Elders of the "Black Tortoise Hall", got acquainted with numerous commanders under its jurisdiction, checked the accounts, and took inventory of the supplies, marking his official takeover of the "Black Tortoise Hall".
Here, Li Yunjing encountered no obstacles, nor was there anyone who publicly challenged his authority.
First, Li Yunjing himself was powerful; second, he was the Vice Sect Leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"; and finally, he possessed the "Black Tortoise Order". Unless someone was a fool, who would oppose the arrival of such a prominent figure?
The four major armies served the sect and were its core backbone; if the orders from here couldn’t be delivered, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would probably crumble.
Under Ming Lingchuan’s rule, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" flourished, with all four major armies under his control.
He concurrently served as the Hall Master of the four major armies!
He wielded all the martial power of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
Now Ming Lingchuan was still around, merely handing control of two large armies to Li Yunjing; which subordinate would dare disobey?
Even the Supreme Elders of the "Black Tortoise Army" and "White Tiger Army" cooperatively completed the transition, not to mention anyone else.
Li Yunjing sat cross-legged on the stone platform in the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, his palm holding the "Black Tortoise Order" resonating with the turtle shell floating in front of him.
The surface of the turtle shell was covered with cracks, yet it flowed with dark purple spiritual power; this was the exclusive "Fuxi Eight Diagrams" carrier of the Black Tortoise Hall.
For the past half year, he studied the inheritance of the "Black Tortoise Hall" daily, attempting to unravel the ancient celestial secret techniques hidden within the turtle shell.
The cracks on the turtle shell suddenly writhed like living creatures, and dark purple spiritual power transformed into flowing light, outlining ancient trigrams around Li Yunjing.
He closed his eyes slightly, but his divine sense surged into the depths of the turtle shell, seeing countless trigrams rising and falling in chaos—Qian continuous, Kun broken, Zhen overturned bowl, Gen covered bowl...
The Fuxi Eight Diagrams operated in a profound trajectory, each change pulling the qi in heaven and earth.
Fine beads of sweat seeped from Li Yunjing’s forehead, and his Daoist robe inflated with an invisible force.
As his divine sense delved deeper, an image of an ancient battlefield emerged in his sea of consciousness.
The Black Tortoise Divine Beast roared with its head held high, the "Eight Trigrams Array Map" on the turtle shell transforming into a cage, trapping countless demon fiends within; each trigram released world-shattering power.
"So, the ’Fuxi Eight Diagrams’ is not merely a technique for deduction, but an unparalleled great slaughter array!"
Li Yunjing’s heart suddenly cleared.
He circulated the spiritual power within his body, tracing the trigram trajectories emerging from the turtle shell in the void.
A "Qian Trigram" first took shape, its golden light illuminating the entire secret realm, followed closely by "Kun Trigram", "Zhen Trigram", "Xun Trigram"... The Eight Trigrams manifested one by one, responding to each other, forming a miniature "Eight Trigrams Array Map".
In the depths of the turtle shell, the long-hidden core trigram finally emerged.
It was a "Gui Zang Trigram" fused with the power of the eight trigrams.
When Li Yunjing’s divine sense touched this trigram, countless mysteries about the "Fuxi Eight Diagrams" flooded into his mind.
The power of the eight trigrams began transforming into attack, defense, deduction, even the power of space-time.
"Rise!"
Li Yunjing uttered softly and began divining with the turtle shell of the "Black Tortoise Hall"!
The "Eight Trigrams Array Map" instantaneously enlarged, enveloping the entire stone platform within.
Within the array map, eight different attributes of spiritual power collided and merged, forming mysterious trajectories—these were the tracks of the natural heavenly dao!
They were the tangible manifestations of all great daos.
For such profound daos, Li Yunjing found it difficult to comprehend them fully, only able to glimpse their surface.
"Let’s try it!"
Li Yunjing raised a hand and pointed, and a burst of "Zhen Trigram Power" erupted, causing the distant mountain peak to explode, with a powerful airflow sweeping forth, dissolving invisibly upon touching the "Eight Trigrams Array Map".
"Good!"
Seeing his experiment, Li Yunjing was overjoyed, as his mastery of the "Fuxi Eight Diagrams" took another step forward.
Just as Li Yunjing immersed himself in new insights on the "Fuxi Eight Diagrams", the turtle shell suddenly trembled violently, dark purple spiritual power surging like boiling magma.
The trigrams in the "Eight Trigrams Array Map" began reorganizing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the originally clear trajectories becoming blurred and twisted, an unsettling sense of crisis surged in Li Yunjing’s heart.
"Not good!"
Li Yunjing’s face changed drastically, sensing the power within the turtle shell spiraling out of control.
He forcibly circulated his entire body’s spiritual power, attempting to suppress this restless force, but the turtle shell erupted with a stronger counter-shock force, as if manipulated by some mysterious presence.
"How could this be?"
Li Yunjing’s figure swayed, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the front of his "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe" red.
At this critical moment, the "Black Tortoise Order" suddenly radiated dazzling light, resonating marvelously with the turtle shell.
The light, like chains, gradually restrained the uncontrolled power.
"Still refusing to comply?"
Li Yunjing’s gaze sharpened, once again channeling his divine sense, delving into the turtle shell following the power of the "Black Tortoise Order".
This ancient turtle shell was no ordinary item but the genuine turtle shell of a mature Black Tortoise!
It was a treasured artifact!
This time, within the turtle shell, he saw a brand new world.
Amidst the chaos, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts appeared.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise stood in four directions, entwined with countless trigrams, each representing a law of heaven and earth.
