Chapter 166 The Four Tribulations of Zhou Tian, ​​Returning to One
After revealing this news, Zhao Yao left with Jiang Xiaobai.

According to her, only if the news agency remains neutral will people believe their information, and it is not advisable to have too much involvement with Bai Ze.

However, from Bai Ze's perspective, the news agency may be neutral, but from Yun Shu's perspective, it is definitely not neutral.

Zhao Yao probably also wanted to bring Yun Shu down.

As for her true purpose, it might be to expand the news agency, or it might be because she has a grudge against Yun Shu.

Bai Ze didn't care about Zhao Yao's thoughts; he only looked at her current actions.

At least for now, Zhao Yao is one of the parties that can be allied with.

With these thoughts in mind, Bai Ze returned to his residence.

This time, finally no one stopped him on the way.

He found a quiet room in Bai Yujing's residence, sat down on a futon in the quiet room, and opened the "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa" and "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa Supplement".

The unique technique belonging to the Astronomy Society was revealed to Bai Ze in its entirety.

Bai Ze had already roughly figured out the details of the "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa" when he fought with Sima Ming before. Now, after comparing his findings with the content, he verified them and quickly acquired the "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa".

The "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa" (The Method of the Four Seasons of the Heavenly Cycle) is based on water, fire, wind, and thunder, and takes the changes in climate of the four seasons as its theme, transforming the twenty-four solar terms into its method.

Bai Ze had previously thought that the founder of this technique might have wanted to emulate the "Cantongqi" (a classic text on the same subject), and now that he has seen the whole picture, it is indeed so.

Therefore, his cultivation of the "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa" can be said to have been a natural progression.

After obtaining specific techniques, the Yin and Yang energies in the "General Introduction to the Great Yi" can easily be transformed into water, fire, wind, and thunder. Furthermore, the twenty-four solar terms become as easy to control as one's own arm, with the teachings following the words.

In just two or three hours, Bai Ze's skill surpassed that of Sima Ming.

Based on Bai Ze's discovery that day, although Sima Ming had mastered the four elements of water, fire, wind, and thunder, he could only use two of them at a time and could not control all four simultaneously.

That is why Sima Ming is still a little short of being a five-star.

Bai Ze, on the other hand, doesn't have this kind of trouble.

After mastering the "Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa" (a method for studying the four seasons of the Zhou Tian system) in a short period of time, he immediately opened the supplement.

"The perfect man is divine! He cannot be heated by the burning of a great marsh, nor chilled by the freezing of the Milky Way; he cannot be startled by thunder that shatters mountains or by gales that shake the seas. Such a man rides on the clouds and the sun and moon, and roams beyond the four seas. Life and death do not change him, let alone the matters of gain and loss!"

The supplement to "The Method of the Four Seasons of the Zhou Dynasty" begins by quoting a passage from Zhuangzi's "Discourse on the Equality of Things" and extending it further.

The methods here have already broken away from the four seasons and twenty-four solar terms, delving deeper into water, fire, wind, and thunder, and creating a special technique for each of the four elements, called "The Four Tribulations of the Heavenly Cycle".

—The Great Marsh Burns, the River and the Milky Way Collapse (same as "mutual"), Thunder Shakes the Mountain, and Wind Shakes the Sea.

When the four elements emerge together, the four moves combine to form the four tribulations.

Even after simultaneously mastering the four elements and the four tribulations, there is an even higher realm: mastering the energies of yin and yang, the sun and the moon, and disregarding the changes of life and death.

However, this final realm was not described in detail, only the concept was given. Perhaps it is like the seventh level of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, which even the founder could not create.

"The Four Qi transform into the Four Tribulations, maximizing the power of water, fire, wind, and thunder, and even connecting with the Qi of heaven and earth to manipulate celestial phenomena... The cultivation of these Four Tribulations has both minor and major achievements. Minor achievement involves controlling the Four Qi within the body to attack externally, while major achievement involves further controlling celestial phenomena."

"Whether it's minor or major success, it requires extremely strong computing power to avoid the conflict of the four elements, since water and fire clash, and wind and thunder interact. As for controlling celestial phenomena, that's even more about using one's own strength to manipulate nature, and the computing power and knowledge required are definitely not low."

"Of course, if one could fly bricks with superhuman strength, then everything else would be a different story."

If the power is great enough, then it doesn't matter whether it's calculated or not, just use brute force to create miracles.

After reviewing the entire text, Bai Ze summarized it in his mind. At the same time, the Qi changed, differentiating Yin and Yang, and forming water, fire, wind, and thunder.

His *General Introduction to the Great Yi* almost completely covers the changes in the *Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa* (The Method of the Four Seasons of the Heavenly Cycle), and it's already a method of cultivation without even needing to switch the virtual pod into cultivation mode. The four energies circulate inside and outside the body, intertwining and forming the twenty-four solar terms, and then—

"The Great Swamp Burns."

A sudden burst of flames formed, creating a raging inferno.

The surrounding天地气 (heaven and earth energy) moved with the flames, constantly surging into them, even drawing out oxygen and hydrogen from the air to fuel the fire.

This is both a change in vital energy and a physical change.

To cultivate the Four Tribulations of the Heavenly Cycle, one must first master the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Skill".

By filtering the components of air and vital energy, and continuously absorbing fuels and gases, the fire grows stronger, eventually becoming a raging inferno...

The raging fire suddenly became disordered, and the change in the fiery energy also slowed down.

"My skills are insufficient to control celestial phenomena."

Bai Ze frowned slightly, but there was nothing he could do.

He knew the specific method, which allowed him to directly overcome the limitations of computational power by making his words become law. However, with his current skill level, even if he managed to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth himself, he couldn't do much.

"The Milky Way is full".

As Bai Ze's mind raced, he shifted his energy, transforming the raging flames into water vapor, and the surging steam immediately swept through the quiet room.

In essence, this is still about data composition. If this were in reality, we might as well consider moving.

Under the suppression of the transformed primordial energy, the flames that were actually burning were extinguished, leaving only a surge of powerful energy.

'My power is insufficient to elevate the Four Tribulations of the Heavenly Cycle to celestial phenomena. Although these four tribulations are powerful, they are not enough to pose a significant threat to the Five Planets.'

After receiving the information leaked by Zhao Yao, Bai Ze already regarded Yun Shu as a hypothetical enemy, and one that he would have to deal with soon.

He must complete his three-star training as soon as possible, break through to four stars, and develop a move that can pose a threat to Yun Shu.

"The *Zhou Tian Si Shi Fa* (周天四时法) contains a method that combines the elements of water, fire, wind, and thunder, drawing upon one of the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) to create techniques for each season. If Sima Ming advances to the fifth-star realm, he can master this technique, but although its power is strong, it will still not pose a threat to Yun Shu."

'So······'

Bai Ze's mind raced, and he slowly moved his palm.

If four kinds of strength are not enough, then how about twenty-four kinds of strength?

Is it enough to simultaneously bring out all twenty-four solar terms and integrate them into one palm?
If that's not enough, you can add more.

By combining the "scattershot" technique, the amount of energy can be further increased.

"Scatter Shot" is a simplification of "Formless Divine Needle". The "Formless Divine Needle" technique can shoot out energy from the pores of the whole body. It is formless and invisible, and there is no part of the body that cannot be attacked.

Bai Ze transformed it, turning the twenty-four solar terms into needle-like fine energy that was emitted from his palm.

As for how to combine them, that naturally depends on the principle of "words become law".

"This is—"

Bai Ze thrust out a palm, shouting "Return to One".

The twenty-four solar terms were simultaneously unleashed from a single palm strike. Each energy blast was as fine as a needle, losing some of its power but gaining greater solidity. The combination of all twenty-four energies, forming a surface from a single point, compensated for the loss of power and further enhanced the destructive force.
