Chapter 35 Mountain and Water Ignorance, a neutral and inauspicious hexagram.
"Young Brother Zhuge, if I may ask, have you mastered all four levels of magic: Heaven, Earth, Man, and God?"
Hu Haiwang's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
"More or less."
Zhuge Yan nodded.
"abnormal……"
Hu Haiwang tucked the copper coins into his sleeve and muttered something under his breath.
The caution in his tone had completely disappeared, replaced by a solemnity as if he had met his match.
"A sorcerer who mastered all four spells by the age of twelve—I thought my talent was already high enough, but I never expected…"
Haha, Master is right, there really are people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!
With a flick of his sleeve, the six copper coins slid back from his sleeve into his palm.
The edges of the copper coin gleamed with a sharp luster in the sunlight.
"Young Brother Zhuge, don't blame Brother Hu for being impolite from now on."
As Hu Haiwang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and the surrounding Qi suddenly converged into his body, as if all the energy was collapsing towards a singularity.
When he opened his eyes again, two pale blue lights suddenly shone deep in his pupils—the Qimen Manifestation Technique!
The Qimen Manifestation Technique allows the practitioner to see things that are closer to the essence of things.
The Qimen Dunjia chart, the flow of Qi, and the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of directions are all within view.
Although Hu Haiwang does not belong to the Wuhou School, his Manifestation Technique is not unique to the Wuhou School.
The next second, he saw it.
The entire Qimen formation set up by Zhuge Yan just now was fully revealed under the illumination of the Qimen Manifestation Method.
The Gate of Rest is in the north, the Gate of Death is in the south, and all eight gates are lit at the same time.
The nine stars of the celestial plate and the eight gates of the human plate rotate slowly at a rhythm precise to the millimeter, with the switching and connection between the four plates flowing smoothly.
"Determining the central palace oneself—is this the unique feature of Zhuge Liang's Qimen Dunjia?"
Hu Haiwang muttered to himself, his tone devoid of fear, only the thrill of meeting a worthy opponent.
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a hand seal with both hands, and six copper coins were scattered into the air.
The copper coin spun rapidly in the air, and the sound of it cutting through the air was several times sharper than before.
Zhuge Yan changed his right-hand seal again, and the illusory image of the Chief Symbol suddenly surged, increasing air resistance once more.
Ultimately, dealing with a sorcerer who practices the Six Lines Coin Divination is similar to dealing with a weapon refiner.
As long as you pay attention to and guard against their magical artifacts, the artifact refiner himself is not actually a threat.
These six copper coins are Hu Haiwang's unique "magical implements"!
Therefore, Zhuge Yan wanted to repeat his old trick. As long as he could target Hu Haiwang's six copper coins, he would be able to secure victory!
The coin's rotation abruptly halted the moment it touched that invisible force field, almost veering off its intended trajectory.
Hu Haiwang bit his tongue, then pointed his bloodied fingertip upwards.
The next second, the copper coin actually broke through the force field of the Chief Symbol, and the six lines were determined in the blink of an eye.
The Zhen trigram is above, and the Xun trigram is below!
Thunder and wind clash; thunder is in the sky, and wind is under the earth—this is the Heng hexagram!
Click click click!!
Countless bolts of lightning struck from the Zhen position, white arcs of electricity skimming along the ground, heading straight for Zhuge Yan.
"The character '震' (zhen) signifies thunder!"
Zhuge Yan stepped on the Zhen Palace, using Zhen to counter Zhen.
The two electric arcs collided head-on in the center of the open space, exploding into a blinding white light and blasting a shallow crater into the rammed earth.
While the two were exchanging blows, Zhuge Yan's footwork never stopped.
"Kan character, water bullet!"
Several water bullets, carrying the residual force of lightning, suddenly burst out from the shattered lightning and shot towards Hu Haiwang.
But as he continued to move the coin to the next position, Hu Haiwang also tossed the coin for the next round.
Before Zhuge Yan could even fire his water bullet, Hu Haiwang had already obtained the divination result.
"Mountain and Water in a Misfortune... A neutral, inauspicious hexagram..."
The hexagram "Mountain and Water" (山水蒙) suggests that "propriety can guard against gentlemen, and law can guard against petty people," indicating that one's actions will be hampered by many factors.
Therefore, after receiving this divination, Hu Haiwang did not hesitate at all and immediately used the magic given by the Six Lines Coin Divination.
"Riding the wind on land!"
Wow~
A gust of wind suddenly rose from beneath Hu Haiwang's feet, and the next second, his movements became as light as a mountain breeze.
The very next second after Hu Haiwang left his spot, a black hole silently appeared where the six copper coins had been.
Upon seeing this, a smile immediately appeared on Hu Haiwang's lips.
"Using water bombs as a feint, is your real intention to use the Eight Gates Technique to confiscate all six of my copper coins?"
"What a clever scheme! If those six copper coins hadn't given me advance instructions, I might have actually fallen for it."
"So it wasn't that simple after all..."
Zhuge Yan frowned, feeling pressure for the first time.
In a true master's game, every round of deduction is constantly changing; there are no set patterns, only precise judgment to seize the flaws amidst the ever-changing situation.
Six copper coins are arranged in formation in the air, with yin and yang lines alternating under the sunlight.
With a thought, he sent the power field of the talisman pressing down once more.
However, this time, Hu Haiwang's copper coins suddenly changed their formation on their own, automatically tumbling and shifting in the air, guiding the force field of the Chief Symbol in the wrong direction.
The Six Lines Coin Divination Method is a divination technique for predicting good and bad fortune. After casting the hexagram, it evolves on its own. The six copper coins change unpredictably in mid-air, and even the strongest Chief Talisman cannot suppress an invisible hand.
The copper coin landed with a thud, and the divination result was determined.
Hu Haiwang stomped his right foot on the ground.
The next second, three trigram formations appeared simultaneously beneath their feet.
The trigrams Li, Zhen, and Gen resonate together.
The three trigrams covered the Life Gate, Rest Gate, and Block Gate among the eight gates under Zhuge Yan's feet, sealing off the three most secure positions for his defense.
Zhuge Yan took a deep breath.
With the eight gates in their proper places and the nine stars in their fixed positions, the central palace is as stable as a mountain.
He did not retreat, but the rammed earth beneath his feet was trembling slightly.
Hu Haiwang's fourth round of divination is already poised to take effect, with fire hidden in the Li position, thunder accumulating in the Zhen position, and earth gathering in the Gen position.
Three trigram arrays unfolded simultaneously beneath his feet, while the remaining hexagrams from the Six Lines Coin Divination were still swirling uncertainly in mid-air.
The power field of the talisman can only interfere with copper coins that have not yet landed, but the wave pressing down in front of us is a real triple spell.
Fire burns from above, thunder strikes from the side, and earth surges from beneath one's feet.
The three attacks blocked all of Zhuge Yan's escape routes, making it impossible for him to continue using divination to determine good or bad fortune.
At this moment, Zhuge Yan realized for the first time that this opponent was far more troublesome than he had anticipated.
"With the Chief Talisman unable to suppress my six copper coins, young brother Zhuge, how long can your Qimen formation last?"
Zhuge Yan remained silent, his right hand seals changing rapidly.
The Kan-shaped water technique, carrying water vapor, met the fire python head-on. The fire was drenched by the water technique, hissing and steaming like clouds.
The two electric arcs collided in mid-air, exploding into a blinding white light, and his sleeves were torn in two places by the residual force of the electric arcs.
At the same time, the Kun-shaped earthen chariot under their feet broke through the ground, directly overturning the Gen-shaped earthen trigram formation.
He dissolved all three trigram formations in an instant, but correspondingly, stepping on the wrong palace to cast spells from other palaces consumed a lot of Zhuge Yan's true energy.
