Chapter 73 Interior
The main hall of the Lu family residence.
The atmosphere here was somewhat delicate at this moment.
Lu Xuan, the head of the Lu family, sat in the main seat, while Zuo Ruotong, the head of the Sanyi Sect, and Zhang Jingqing, the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, sat on the upper seats on either side.
Below them, the leaders and renowned figures of various sects sat in rows, and the air in the hall was so quiet that it seemed to have frozen.
Just now, Lu Xuan revealed to everyone that Wu Gensheng would be coming to witness the Ghost Hand King's acceptance of fate.
The news caused an uproar, but soon fell into an eerie silence.
Just as Li Cunzhen had predicted.
When faced with Quanxing disciples whose specific evil deeds were unknown, most righteous elders tended to keep their distance rather than recklessly exterminate them.
In addition, the Lu family, the Celestial Master's Mansion, and Zuo Ruotong, these three influential forces in the current world of supernatural beings have clearly expressed their support for Wugensheng to attend the ceremony.
Although each party still had some private complaints, they agreed on the surface.
Meanwhile.
Deep within the Lu family compound, in a secluded courtyard, Li Cunzhen sat facing Zhuge Yunhui.
Two cups of tea sat on the stone table, steam rising gently.
Li Cunzhen did not go to the main hall to join the fun, but instead asked Zhuge Yunhui for advice on the art of Qimen Dunjia.
Of course, it refers to the common Qimen Dunjia that is still circulating in the world.
Firstly, Li Cunzhen wanted to gain a basic understanding of the ways of sorcerers, laying the foundation for his possible future study of Wuhou Qimen.
Secondly, Li Cunzhen was very curious about Qimen Dunjia and wanted to learn more about it.
Zhuge Yunhui waved his feather fan, dipped his fingertip in tea on the stone table, and gently drew the outline of a Bagua (Eight Trigrams).
"Master Li, the so-called Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination and strategy) is all based on the same principle."
"The most basic elements are the four plates: Heaven, Earth, Man, and God. The Heaven plate has nine stars, the Earth plate has eight trigrams, the Man plate has eight gates, and the God plate has eight gods. The four plates circulate and, combined with the four Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches that govern the year, month, day, and hour, the overall structure can be determined."

Li Cunzhen listened attentively and nodded slightly.
Although he had learned about these esoteric arts in his previous life, there are subtle differences between the two worlds.
If you really want to learn Qimen Dunjia, you have to learn it all over again in this world.
Seeing that he understood, Zhuge Yunhui smiled slightly and continued to delve deeper.
"In fact, when a sorcerer practices Qimen Dunjia, he is not only cultivating the heavens and the earth, but also himself."
"Taoists often say that the human body is a microcosm, and this is not an exaggeration. For example, the human spine, from the cervical vertebrae down to the lumbar vertebrae, has exactly twenty-four vertebrae, which coincides with the twenty-four solar terms of the seasons."
"We sorcerers manipulate the four plates and draw upon the universe, which is essentially using our own small universe to resonate with the larger universe outside."
At this point, Zhuge Yunhui's hand, which was waving a feather fan, suddenly paused slightly.
His expression turned serious, and he spoke again.
"However, Master Li, there is a life-or-death hurdle that all practitioners of Qimen cannot avoid, and you must know about it in advance. That is the inner vision."
"interior?"
Upon hearing this familiar term, Li Cunzhen raised an eyebrow.
Zhuge Yunhui nodded, his tone becoming serious.
"Yes, interior!"
"The reason why we sorcerers can use the art of Qimen Dunjia to predict the secrets of heaven is because of the inner vision."
"In the inner vision, the answer you want to know will turn into a fireball. The greater the cause and effect involved in the question, the larger the fireball will be, and the more energy is needed to shatter it."
"I've gone off on a tangent. The danger in the interior isn't the fireball, but the interior itself."
At this point, Zhuge Yunhui sighed.
"The inner vision is the intersection of the principles of heaven and earth and the desires of the human heart. There, the inner vision will conjure up what you desire most, giving you an illusion of omniscience and omnipotence."
"Think about it, in reality you are just a mortal, but in the inner world you become an omnipotent god. What a temptation that is."
"Many gifted sorcerers, because of their lack of moral character, could not resist the temptation of inner visions and eventually succumbed to them and became madmen."
After saying that, Zhuge Yunhui smiled and shook his head.
"However, you have only just come into contact with Qimen today and are still outside the door. You should not be able to touch the threshold of the inner realm. Even if you were to enter with your cultivation of sexual energy, it would not be a problem."
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Young Master Yunhui."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunzhen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Seeing this, Zhuge Yunhui stopped talking about the inner landscape and began to explain other knowledge about Qimen Dunjia.
About half an hour later.
Zhuge Yunhui explained all the basic knowledge of Qimen Dunjia to Li Cunzhen and taught him the methods for starting a Qimen Dunjia game.
He suddenly stopped explaining the theory and began to speak.
"Okay, no matter how much theory you talk about, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes."
"Master Li, watch carefully."
As he spoke, Zhuge Yunhui stood up, tucked his feather fan into his waistband, and casually stomped his right foot on the ground.
"Qimen Formation, open!"
With a low shout, Li Cunzhen clearly felt that the world within a few feet around him was instantly pulled and reorganized by an invisible force.
Around Zhuge Yunhui, a giant compass, invisible to the naked eye but perceptible to the supernatural, suddenly unfolded.
The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Eight Gates and the Nine Stars, each play their respective roles in the compass, turning this small area into Zhuge Yunhui's home ground.
"This is the beginning. Within this game, time, space, and the interactions of the five elements will all be affected by me."
Zhuge Yunhui dispersed the formation, sat back on the stone bench, and looked at Li Cunzhen.
"Why don't you give it a try? Don't force yourself. Just try to disperse the Qi outside your body and, according to the four directions I just mentioned, stabilize the flow of Qi around you. It's normal to fail the first time; I also spent a lot of time..."
"I'll give it a try."
Li Cunzhen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Following the principles of Qimen Dunjia that Zhuge Yunhui had just explained, he suddenly unleashed his vast and pure energy outwards.
"Qimen formation, open."
Li Cunzhen's voice was calm, without the slightest roar or exertion.
However, the moment he finished speaking...
"Buzz!"
With a faint yet soul-stirring tremor, the air in the side courtyard suddenly tightened.
A Qimen formation, even larger and more solid than the one Zhuge Yunhui had just deployed, rippled outwards like water with Li Cunzhen at its center, and was firmly anchored in the surrounding void!
Zhuge Yunhui's hand, which had just picked up the teacup, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Those eyes, which always carried a calm smile, were now wide open, the pupils contracted sharply, the mouth was slightly open, and even the breath stopped for a beat.
He stared blankly at the array patterns on the ground, then looked at Li Cunzhen, who had his eyes closed and looked perfectly normal, his mind buzzing.
Although Zhuge Yunhui had long been mentally prepared, he knew that Li Cunzhen had extremely high comprehension.
He even predicted that Li Cunzhen might be able to figure it out in half an hour.
But he never expected that there would actually be someone in this world who could instantly unfold a flawless Qimen formation without the slightest hesitation after hearing the basic formula once!
Furthermore, because of its extremely high level of spiritual cultivation, this Qimen formation is quite stable!
This isn't called genius, this is called monster!
"Young Master Yunhui, is that so?"
Li Cunzhen opened his eyes, sensing the Qimen Dunjia world around him that he controlled, a hint of novelty flashing in his eyes.
Gudong.
Zhuge Yunhui swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and forced a dry laugh.
"Yes—that's how it is."
"Master Li, your talent truly puts the Zhuge family to shame. Now that the game is set, why don't you try using a small spell?"
Li Cunzhen nodded, his gaze falling on the off-center position of the formation.
He had not studied complex Qimen magic and could only rely on his most basic understanding of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams to mobilize the power within the situation.
"The character 'Separation'—Red Serpent!"
Li Cunzhen pointed casually.
At the level of an average beginner sorcerer, this would at most summon a fire serpent as thick as an arm.
However, the power of Qimen magic depends not only on the sorcerer's control of the situation, but also on the practitioner's own spiritual cultivation.
As for Li Cunzhen's cultivation of life force.
It's a bit high.
