Chapter 436: Three possibilities


    "Time Immortal''s naming skills arecking. He named the first three trigrams of the Eight Trigrams, but I named thest three. Don''t you think my names sound better?"


    The Immortal Fairy''s contributions to the Eight Trigrams theory weren''t just about cheering from the sidelines; she even participated in the crucial naming process.


    Lu Yang nodded reluctantly, "…Indeed, the names of thest three trigrams are straightforward and easy to understand."


    "The Eight Trigrams theory is the orthodox time magic. Saying it epasses all phenomena in the world is not an exaggeration. The first three trigrams observe the past, today''s trigrams grasp the present, and tomorrow''s trigrams predict the future. These three represent the past, present, and future, forming aplete whole."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Thest three trigrams represent the unpredictable distant future. What they predict is merely a possibility, the hardest to grasp. Even Time Immortal wouldn''t dare im he can predict the distant future, as the variables are too great."


    "Using the Eight Trigrams theory to set up formations is to n with time as the dimension, making it difficult for cultivators of the same level to deduce a way to break it."


    With the Immortal Fairy''s exnation, Lu Yang felt the prestige of the Eight Trigrams theory was restored.


    "No wonder formation masters have been debating the use of the first three trigrams and thest three trigrams without any conclusion. It turns out they haven''t even grasped the basics." Lu Yang inadvertently solved a puzzle that had baffled the formation world for thirty thousand years.


    Not to mention how to use the first three trigrams and thest three trigrams, they hadn''t even taken the right direction. This is the theory of time magic.If Lu Yang were to publish his research findings, it would surely shock the formation world. Even Grandpa Ba, who is proficient in formations, would serve him tea.


    Time magic is obscure and difficult to understand, the hardest magic to learn in the world. Even with the Immortal Fairy''s strong talent, she only managed to learn weather forecasting.


    With Lu Yang''s strong talent, he only learned to "predict a future that won''t happen."


    At this moment, the formation masters were still debating what kind of formation was set up in Hanshui City and the theoretical basis of the formation.


    "Enough, stop arguing!"


    Governor Lu''s angry shout finally silenced the formation masters.


    If they continued arguing, even if the Great Yu cultivators activated the formation, they wouldn''t reach a conclusion.


    "Master Fang, you are an expert in the first three trigrams. ording to your theory, what is the purpose of the formation set up by the Great Yu cultivators, and how should it be broken?"


    Master Fang, with an immortal demeanor and three strands of white beard, looked quite impressive, "I haven''t figured out the purpose of the city''s formation yet."


    "The key to breaking it lies in the formation''s core. In my opinion, the core is located at the Hundred Flowers Restaurant. The urgent task is to seal off the restaurant. If there is a fierce ghost in the restaurant, it will confirm my guess!"


    Governor Lu then looked at another formation master, "Master Miao, you are an expert in thest three trigrams. ording to you, what is the purpose of the formation set up by the Great Yu cultivators, and how should it be broken?"


    "The formation in Hanshui City has the ability to reverse thest three trigrams and invert yin and yang. I just don''t know what it aims to invert. The key to breaking it is also the formation''s core. What puzzles me is that the core is located at the entrance of the Corpse Driving Sect. There should be a fierce ghost acting as the core, possibly hidden right under the Corpse Driving Sect''s nose!"


    Master Miao didn''t know, but Governor Lu did. With Huang Ming as an insider, cing a fierce ghost as the core wasn''t difficult.


    "Master Ren, what about you? You said this is neither a formation of thest three trigrams nor the first three trigrams but rather the Great Yu cultivators overturning yin and yang?"


    "Exactly. With yin and yang imbnced, an army of ghosts will march, causing chaos in the city. We don''t know if the Great Yu cultivators n to take advantage of this. The current strategy is to speed up the elimination of the fierce ghosts."


    Governor Lu pondered. Master Ren didn''t know what chaos in the city would bring, but he did. Hanshui City is the core of the Wild State. If chaos breaks out in Hanshui City, it will destabilize the people''s hearts and shake the entire Wild State''s power of a nation''s fate.


    "Do any other masters have different opinions?" Governor Lu looked at the other silent formation masters.


    These formation masters shook their heads. Their views were just these three.


    Seeing no other possibilities, Governor Lu quickly made a decision and began assigning tasks, "Solving the theories of the first three trigrams and thest three trigrams isn''t difficult. Sect Master Qiu, please go to the Hundred Flowers Restaurant to investigate if there''s anything unusual."


    If the Hundred Flowers Restaurant is the core, there must be a fierce ghost of the ghost king level, extremely dangerous.


    Governor Lu was d Qiu Jin''an hade to Hanshui City; it was a great help.


    Such a dangerous ce as the core should be approached by a team of three to five Body Fusion cultivators for safety. But now, they couldn''t spare so many Body Fusion cultivators to go to the Hundred Flowers Restaurant. Fortunately, Qiu Jin''an alone was as good as three to five Body Fusion cultivators.


    "Alright, I''ll go now." Qiu Jin''an agreed, unhurried.


    He didn''t feel any danger even if the Hundred Flowers Restaurant was the core.


    "As for the Corpse Driving Sect, Sect Master Lu is in seclusion, so let Elder Gai conduct a thorough investigation of the Corpse Driving Sect!"


    Governor Lu sent a subordinate to rush to the Corpse Driving Sect to exin the situation.


    With Sect Master Lu in seclusion, Elder Gai was the de facto sect master.


    Governor Lu didn''t let Zhao Po deliver the message. Zhao Po''s cultivation was too low, and his speed too slow. They needed to act swiftly.


    Next, he summoned An Ping, the Sima of the Wild State, "Old An, we can''t just let the Corpse Driving Sect disciples do all the work. Increase manpower for a carpet search. We must resolve the ghost problem in Hanshui City as quickly as possible!"


    "Yes!"


    After assigning all the tasks, Governor Lu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.


    Governor Lu hadn''t forgotten to arrange for Lu Yang and his threepanions, "Hanshui City is not safe now. You should stay in the mansion. Once things are settled, I''ll ask Sect Master Qiu to escort you back."


    Lu Yang and hispanions wanted to go out and help kill ghosts, but Governor Lu thought their identities were special. If something happened, it would be hard to exin to the Seek Tao Sect, so he firmly refused. Lu Yang and hispanions had no choice but to stay in the governor''s mansion.


    ...


    "What, you say Huang Ming is a Great Yu cultivator starting over after dispersing his cultivation!" Elder Gai''s veins bulged, and he was furious when he learned this.


    The back mountain of the Corpse Driving Sect shook; this was where his true body was located.


    Huang Ming was a Great Yu spy and even brazenly became the sect''spetition champion. This was a stain on the Corpse Driving Sect, aughingstock!


    "Governor Lu is giving the sect a chance by asking for a self-investigation. We must conduct a thorough investigation!"


    Elder Gai called out the other three elders and informed them of the situation. Their reactions were simr to Elder Gai''s. They were determined to investigate the entire Corpse Driving Sect to see if Huang Ming had left any means behind.


    ...


    "Oh, Meng Tian and Huang Ming are out of contact. I sense a Body Fusion battle outside the city. Did Meng Tian get exposed and sh with Great Xia cultivators, getting captured by them?"


    "In that case, our n will soon be exposed. Since that''s the case, we must strike first."


    In a secret room, a figure slowly stood up, a confident smile on his lips.


    And from his body emanated a powerful aura that even a peak Body Fusion cultivator couldn''t possess.


    The second update will be at eleven o''clock.
