NOVEL NEXT Chapter 429: Innate Eight Diagrams
The theory of Qian Heaven, Tai Hao has also gained some understanding during his cultivation.
Now, as he travels among the various stars of the River Map and Luo Book, he observes the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, which creates the alternation of day and night, and the cycle of the four seasons.
These experiences have given Tai Hao a deeper understanding of the theory of Qian Heaven; he even feels that he has found his path.
However, in the unseen realm, he senses that the theory of Qian Heaven is not enough to help him complete his path and achieve the status of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
He instinctively thinks of the theory of Kun Earth, which corresponds to the theory of Qian Heaven.
Heaven and Earth, Qian Kun.
In Tai Hao's view, all the beings cultivating in the Primordial have varying degrees of understanding of Qian Kun.
The two stand in opposition, yet merge with each other, inseparable.
So Tai Hao can't help but look at the earth beneath his feet, and he thinks.
If Qian Heaven is insufficient for me to achieve the Dao, then how about adding Kun Earth?
Tai Hao immerses himself in the profound earth within the River Map and Luo Book.
He stands barefoot upon the 'Primordial Continent', walking step by step as if intending to traverse the entire continent.
Within the River Map and Luo Book, Tai Hao is not an entity but merely a spirit, and his movement is not literally stepping forward.
With the movement of his thoughts, he can reach wherever his eyes fall.
However, Tai Hao does not pay attention to this; all his focus is on comprehending the earth beneath his feet.
In this realm, his movement is more about acting spontaneously, guided by instinct and intuition.
If it were in the Primordial, Tai Hao's actions would naturally be impossible.
After all, there are countless beings in the Primordial; if Tai Hao sought to comprehend their dwelling places, he might face collective opposition.
Moreover, the Primordial conceals many Great Powers.
Only within the River Map and Luo Book does he allow himself such freedom, moving as his feelings dictate.
Thus, sometimes when Tai Hao takes a step, it covers a vast distance, while at other times, a step is just a step.
Tai Hao is wholeheartedly seeking his path, unaware of this; even if he were aware, he would not care.
In this situation, Tai Hao observes the mountains and rivers, the heights and depths of the land, gaining a deeper understanding of the earth, which, like the heavens, can encompass myriad things and hold vastness.
The heavens can affect the survival of countless beings, while the earth nurtures countless beings.
Heaven and Earth are oppositional, with beings dwelling between them, constantly influenced by them.
As he comprehends the earth, he is affected, and his understanding of heaven deepens slightly.
At this point, without Tai Hao's intuition, he can deduce that his path remains incomplete.
Heaven and Earth are vast, but Tai Hao feels they are not all there is.
While comprehending the earth beneath his feet, Tai Hao's spirit is also stirred by other things.
Yet at that time, he was solely focused on understanding the earth beneath him, his will resolute, and did not waver.
Now he perceives that his understanding of both the heavens above and the earth below has reached its limits.
It is not that he completely comprehends Heaven and Earth, but that with his cultivation realm, his understanding is limited to this point.
Even if he forced more comprehension, he would gain nothing.
He does not insist on this but begins to follow the inner guidance of his heart, to discover what has stirred his spirit.
Thus, Tai Hao once again observes the 'Primordial World' within the River Map and Luo Book, following the impulses of his heart.
He climbs the many mountain ranges within the 'Primordial Continent', listening to the mountains' breath, feeling their veins, and understanding their grandeur.
He also treads the great swamps, immerses himself in the mire, where beneath the calm flow there is life-consuming silt.
Yet this too is a place where land and water meet, nurturing all kinds of life.
He feels the fierce winds above the Nine Heavens, observing the rolling thunder, deeply impressed.
He has also sat silently in the heart of a great fire, feeling the dance of the flames.
He has sat on the lake's surface, contemplating the tranquility of the water, feeling the energy within a waterfall.
Following the impulses of his heart, he continuously experiences various aspects within the River Map and Luo Book.
Di Jun's spirit remains hidden in one place, quietly observing Tai Hao's every action.
In Di Jun's golden eyes, changes begin to occur around Tai Hao's spirit.
Surrounding his spirit are the images of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and marsh.
The meaning of the Innate Eight Diagrams.
Even without the memories of Fu Xi's past life, Tai Hao is still able to create the Innate Eight Diagrams and achieve the Dao by them!
Di Jun thought to himself.
Di Jun's gaze penetrated the River Map and Luo Book, looking deep into Tai Hao's true self; there was no leaking of Fu Xi's memories, origins, or his true form.
The wonder of life is boundless; even sealing Fu Xi's aspects continues to influence Tai Hao.
Within the River Map and Luo Book, in Tai Hao's actions, perhaps to him it seems an impulsive following of his inner instincts.
But in Di Jun's eyes, this is not mere impulse but the influence of Fu Xi on Tai Hao.
This influence does not pertain to destiny or causality; it is merely an influence born of Fu Xi's essence.
