Chapter 140 General Introduction to the Great Yi

The Department of Yi Studies at Yujing Martial Arts University teaches numerology, Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and other related disciplines, advocating the integration of Bagua and numerology with martial arts.

The department teaches everything from astronomy and geography to a vast array of martial arts techniques related to astrology and the Eight Trigrams.

As is widely known, martial arts techniques that are related to astrology, divination, or mathematics are generally quite powerful once mastered.

Of course, none of these are the key points. The key point is that the prototype of the supercomputer Luoshu was developed by the Department of I Ching Studies.

Despite the classical-sounding name of the Department of I Ching Studies, the faculty and students there combine ancient and modern perspectives, and include many scientific geniuses.

The prototype of the "Luoshu" was specifically developed by predecessors in the field of Yi studies in order to research algorithms for calculating the future.

Therefore, the Department of I Ching Studies is qualified to apply for supercomputing.

"This... I'd like to think about it some more."

Bai Ze understood Professor Ye's intention to recruit him, but subconsciously touched his hair and said.

The Department of I Ching Studies is incredibly strong, both in terms of background and capabilities. However, Bai Ze doesn't think he's the kind of intellectual talent he'd choose, so he's reconsidering enrolling in the Department of I Ching Studies for now.

It's one thing to ask him to scheme against someone, but to ask him to do scientific research is really asking too much of Bai.

Thinking this, Bai Ze walked to the end of the hall and looked at the golden characters displayed on the wall.

Perhaps because Baiyujing is set in an ancient Chinese environment, the text here also has that ancient fantasy style, which is very sophisticated.

Bai Ze immediately spotted the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" which serves as the general outline of the "Cantongqi".

The "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Skill" comes from the "General Introduction to the Great Yi". Currently, only Bai Ze and Mu Yaoguang can cultivate this general outline.

Others, although they can practice the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Skill" after reaching the fourth star level, and cultivate individual chapters of the "Cantong Qi", cannot change their foundation because it is already set. They can only cultivate the "General Introduction to the Great Yi", which is both the general outline and the foundation.

This chapter can only be practiced by martial artists below the three-star level.

As Bai Ze focused his gaze, the five vertical columns of text in the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" magnified and appeared before him, along with a small pop-up window displaying related information.

The General Introduction to the Book of Changes states: The foundation of the Cantongqi is based on the principles of Qian and Kun, Yin and Yang. Among the various methods of Yin and Yang practice, this method is the most important.

Redemption rights: Acquired
Redeem points: 10,000 points

That's right, exchanging for the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" still requires points, and it's quite expensive, requiring 10,000 points.

If converted to Dongxia currency, it would be one million.

This is actually considered cheap, because it takes into account those martial artists below three stars.

The remaining chapters of the Cantongqi are each worth millions of points.

However, the school also provides support to students who pass the test, offering them the benefit of one free redemption.

Those who pass the test are all talented individuals, and such talents should certainly be treated well.

Moreover, cultivation techniques are shareable and not non-renewable resources, so waiving the points is not actually a loss.

Bai Ze was able to exchange points for the general outline and the other chapter, so he naturally wanted to use the points to exchange for the general outline and use the free benefits for the other chapters.

As for the 10,000 points, the old principal had already prepared them for Bai Ze.

He had said before the Youth Cup that if Bai Ze won the championship, he would take all the points from "The Great Yi General Chapter".

"I want to use my points to redeem the 'General Introduction to the Great Yi'," Bai Ze said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the walls began to glow, and Shen Qingquan silently left the room.

[10,000 points have been deducted.]

A faint, neutral voice rang out, deducting 10,000 points from Bai Ze's account, while the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" slowly emitted golden light.

"Qian and Kun are the gateway to the Yi Jing, the parents of all hexagrams. Kan and Li form the framework, the hub and the axis of movement. The four hexagrams, Yin and Yang, serve as the bellows. They cover and encompass the way of Yin and Yang..." Lines of text appeared, and an invisible force acted on Bai Ze's spirit, causing an endless void to appear before his eyes, where Yin and Yang energies manifested.

The two energies circulate, mutually generating and repelling each other, forming a giant Tai Chi symbol, which then explodes with a roar when it reaches its extreme.

boom!
Like the Big Bang, all things emerged from Yin and Yang.

"...The Book of Changes says that Kan and Li are the two uses of Qian and Kun. These two uses have no fixed positions, circulating freely through the six voids. Their coming and going are unpredictable, and their ups and downs are also unchanging. They are hidden and concealed, changing within themselves, encompassing all things..."

Countless words were like branding marks, imprinted into Bai Ze's heart, and deeply etched into his memory.

This is the function of StarNet.

This allows the essence of the practice to be directly projected into the mind, enabling the practitioner to grasp the fundamental nature of the practice.

Of course, the specifics of how to cultivate and how to practice are still up to the individual to figure out; the Star Network isn't omnipotent and can't handle this kind of thing.

However, words can become law.

Bai Ze murmured the mental cultivation method, and the pure energy within his body circulated, beginning to differentiate into Yin and Yang.

The "General Introduction to the Great Yi" explains how the Qi of the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew" technique is differentiated into Yin and Yang Qi.

Yin and Yang interact and combine to encompass all things, and can also evolve into the Five Elements. The combination of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements evolves into all things.

In theory, it is indeed possible to evolve all things...

In reality, Bai Ze slowly circulated his cultivation technique while simultaneously grasping its essence.

With his current level of knowledge, it's not difficult for him to understand the content of the cultivation technique, nor is it difficult for him to understand how to evolve the myriad phenomena.

The evolution of all things is actually quite simple; you just need to understand the composition of all things.

For example, if you want to evolve a kind of mountain and sea energy, you need to know how much yin energy, how much yang energy, how much earth element, and how much water element are in this energy.

Once you know the specific components, you will be able to evolve this vital energy.

As for the idea that Yin and Yang and the Five Elements evolve into all things, so my Qi can transform into all kinds of Qi, and thus evolve into a certain kind of primordial Qi, that's impossible.

The Cantongqi is surprisingly scientific, or at least very much in line with scientific concepts.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are like atoms; only specific atoms can combine to form specific molecules, which is Qi.

For example, when hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms combine in a 2:1 ratio and then react, they can become water molecules.

Some special kinds of vital energy even require different kinds of vital energy to interact and evolve, just like a chemical reaction.

Yes, it also needs to go through a "reaction". Knowing the composition is not enough; you also need to know how to combine them.

Hydrogen and oxygen atoms cannot simply be put together to form water molecules; merely piling them together will only create a flammable fire source.

Mastering the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" is difficult; fully unleashing the power of the "Cantongqi" is even more difficult.

In theory, you can only be considered to have fully mastered the Cantongqi when you have mastered all the changes in the world.

"This is simply..."

Feeling the changes in his internal energy, Bai Ze whispered, "This is too difficult."

It's really too difficult.

Fortunately, my words carry the weight of law.

Once we know the composition of vital energy, we can leave the rest to the solution provided by the "Words Come True" method.
