地震如何保护自己

Chapter 325: 262 Revival of Heaven and Earth 2

In an instant, the sky above the whole state changed from day to night, the reversal of celestial phenomena drew the attention of forces and masters everywhere.

Zhao Baiyang, who was inside this state, was originally talking to his disciple Yu Yiyao about some matters.

After all, things that happened during this period were incessant, overwhelming, and totally beyond Zhao Baiyang’s expectations. Even he, with all his confidence, was caught off guard for a moment.

He never expected that his hard-earned scheme would risk infiltrating the dragon-infested Tiandu to assassinate the Emperor, all for laying the groundwork for his subsequent plan.

Yet, Pei Xuanjing’s interference ruined his plan. Now, Pei Xuanjing’s rising power in cooperation with the imperial court of Great Ming has not only not weakened the court’s influence, but has made it even stronger.

Although furious, Zhao Baiyang had to admit the effectiveness of Pei

Xuanjing’s thunderous intervention, which snatched the fruits of his victory.

Of course, a heroic character like him would never admit defeat easily. Since he couldn’t act on the affairs of the Ming court for the time being, he had still gained something from this encounter.

After Pei Xuanjing assassinated the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, the crowd in the underworld was leaderless. Fearing Pei Xuanjing’s next move or attacks from former enemies seeking revenge for old grudges, Zhao Baiyang seized this opportunity to recruit many master performers and strengthen the Mire Sect again.

Today, Yu Yiyao, who had just broken through to Second-Class Realm, emerged from seclusion. Zhao Baiyang was preparing to arrange for her to handle some matters when he was interrupted by the shocking celestial changes.

Such sweeping spectacle and intense Qi changes in heaven and earth, along with the terrifying breath vaguely contained in the sky, shocked even strong practitioners like Zhao Baiyang.

“True Martial Sect, what exactly are you trying to do?” Zhao Baiyang murmured in a deep voice.

He didn’t need to investigate nor search for clues, a mere thought was enough to know that these actions must have been orchestrated by the True Martial Sect.

This state is under the influence of Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect, built up through hundreds of years of operation, its control may even surpass that of the Great Ming imperial court.

To suggest that such a big move could happen without the True Martial Sect’s participation or permission was laughable indeed.

Zhao Baiyang stepped out, and within a few strides, he arrived at the top of a multi-storey building, where he could see everything around him clearly.

By the time Yu Yiyao followed Zhao Baiyang up to the roof, she found that there were countless fluctuations of masters’ Qi within this county city alone.

Some came from the martial arts world, some from the Six Gates, some from security posts, some from Brocade Guards, and some from spies of the Two Factories.

Only then did Yu Yiyao realize that their quietly-hidden news here had been leaked, and these people were probably here to round up and pursue them.

However, the celestial phenomenon at this moment had distracted those people from launching another attack on Zhao Baiyang. After all, the consequences that such celestial phenomena could bring were of far greater concern than Zhao Baiyang himself.

Zhao Baiyang paid no attention to those people. To him, unless a supreme-level master appeared, the others were simply worthless, not worth mentioning at all.

He focused all his attention on the Qi mechanisms that were continuously rising in the space between heaven and earth right now.

At his level, he’s very sensitive to these Qi mechanisms. Although they seemed intangible, to him they were as clear and bright as fireflies in the dark, not missing a bit.

“South of Qian, North of Kun, East of Li, West of Kan, Northeast of Zhen, Southeast Swap, Southwest of Xun, Northwest of Gen.” Zhao Baiyang muttered, deciphering the positions occupied by the various auras around him.

The map of the entire state emerged in his mind, with mountains, rivers, counties, and cities reflecting in his mind. He realized that the places where these mechanisms converge without a doubt corresponded to where Taihe Mountain was located.

With Taihe Mountain as the center, if these Qi mechanisms were scattered across eight directions, they formed the Eight Trigrams surrounding the Nine Palaces—exactly the situation of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

At this point, Yu Yiyao said, “Master, it seems that the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth is a bit more intense than before.”

Boom!

Zhao Baiyang was shocked. These words, like the sound of a giant bell, deafened him.

At this moment, he finally understood what the True Martial Sect wanted to do.

On Taihe Mountain.

“The concentration of Heaven and Earth’s Essence Qi has increased.” Pei Xuanjing noticed that the surrounding Essence Qi had indeed become denser than before.

A smile played across his mouth, and the Yin Spirit power stirred again. The top of the sky transformed once more, and thunder rolled, with thunderbolts flashing and disappearing.

If anyone could overlook from above the nine heavens at this moment, they would see that centered on Taihe Mountain, countless Qi mechanisms formed an unprecedentedly huge formation, summoning numerous forces, shaking even the Heaven and Earth.

However, this formation was not the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation that Zhao Baiyang had envisaged, but the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams formation.

Pei Xuanjing and others exerted their combined efforts, channelling countless vigorous True Qi into the Tai Chi circle at the center of the formation, transforming it into Yin and Yang, stirring the four polar extremes, and assembling it into the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams formation.

Pei Xuanjing said loudly to the Taoist Qingxu,” Once the time is right, success or failure hinges on this moment. Let’s begin!”

“Success or failure hinges on this moment!” The Elder and others also declared solemnly.

Qingxu Taoist nodded heavily, saying in a deep voice, ‘Very well! I ask for the assistance of my fellow Taoist Friends!”

He flicked his robe and a jade charm came out from each sleeve, which he held separately.

With a slight squeeze of his hands, the jade charms shattered to reveal a black and a white Yin and Yang Fish hidden inside.

These were the Yin and Yang magnets that Bai Xiaosheng had spent a great deal of effort finding. Then a master craftsman took several years to carve them into the shape of Yin and Yang Fish. Not to mention the complicated process, the Yin and Yang magnets alone were a rarity in the world and were invaluable.

Qingxu Taoist infused his True Qi into the two Yin and Yang Fish which emitted black and white glows respectively, exuding a strong attraction as if they wanted to merge together.

The Taoist Qingxu then threw them out. Two elders of the True Martial Sect sitting in the center of the formation caught them and closed their eyes to harness their energy, channeling waves of True Qi into the two Yin and Yang Fish.

These two Yin and Yang Fish seemed to be bottomless pits. No matter how much True Qi the two persons poured in, there was no end in sight..
