Chapter 281 The First Bend of the Yellow River's Nine Bends
Chapter 281 The First Bend of the Yellow River
In the secret realms of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, during the first secret realm, the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, there are four stages: the Sea of Bitterness, the Spring of Life, the Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore. Divine runes will be generated in each stage, and each of these divine runes can be used to forge a natal divine weapon.
Of course, it also depends on the cultivation method. Generally, cultivation methods can forge four divine weapons in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm.
Only those profound cultivation techniques possess the ability to overcome all other techniques with sheer force, and to forge a natal divine weapon within the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm.
Yuan Changqing's current Five Elements Scripture also allows him to forge his natal divine weapon using the principle of overwhelming force, but it lacks the blessing of the Emperor's title.
Therefore, Yuan Changqing had a guess that the Five Elements Scripture he obtained was likely only a part of it, and there must be a part from the Sendai Secret Realm later on.
However, what stage the Sendai Secret Realm could reach was beyond the knowledge of Yuan Changqing, a mere novice cultivator.
However, it certainly wouldn't be too low, otherwise, there wouldn't be a secret method that can overcome all laws in forging one's own divine weapon.
Now that Yuan Changqing has cultivated to the Life Spring Realm of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, he still hasn't figured out how to forge his natal divine weapon.
Yuan Changqing is now unsure whether he should take the path of overwhelming force or the path of forging a divine weapon of his destiny in stages.
While the path of overwhelming force is the way to go, and one's destined divine weapon is undoubtedly the strongest, there are exceptions to forging a destined divine weapon at each stage.
Just like Lingbao Tianzun, his Zhuxian Sword Formation is one of the top-ranked imperial weapons.
The imperial weapon of Lingbao Tianzun should be a divine sword forged at each stage, plus the array diagram. It is said that even if Lingbao Tianzun used the Zhuxian Sword Array to kill an immortal, it would only be the immortal's corpse.
However, an immortal is an immortal. After all, an emperor is only at the peak of the human realm, while an immortal has already reached the level of immortality. The gap between them is like the difference between heaven and earth.
Since Lingbao Tianzun was able to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation with his peak human strength and forcefully slay the immortal corpse, one can imagine the power of this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Moreover, Yuan Changqing came from the information explosion era of the future, and he knew a lot about the divine weapons and magical treasures in the novel.
For example, the five innate Five Elements Flags in the primordial world are all top-tier innate spiritual treasures, with unparalleled defensive capabilities.
If all five Primordial Five Elements Flags were gathered together and the Primordial Five Elements Formation were set up, it would be one of the top three Primordial Formations in the prehistoric world.
It is conceivable that the power of this Five Elements Grand Array is no less than that of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.
However, Yuan Changqing also knew the differences between worlds. Being extremely powerful in the Primordial World might not be enough for someone in the Shrouding the Heavens World.
After all, the five Five Elements Flags of the primordial world were born innately, containing some innate laws, and their power was indescribable.
However, things are different in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. This world is a broken and dilapidated one, where not only is one's understanding of the Dao required, but also powerful cultivation techniques.
The better the materials used to forge a divine weapon, the better the weapon will grow alongside its master.
It is important to understand that one's natal divine weapon is equivalent to the continuation of one's life. It represents one's understanding of the Dao, and the natal divine weapon serves as the vessel for one's understanding of the Dao.
The deeper one's understanding of the Dao, the more powerful one's natal divine weapon will become.
Therefore, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions. The divine weapons and magical treasures of other worlds can only be used as a reference, and cannot be copied verbatim.
This is what Yuan Changqing is struggling with now, after all, no one doesn't want a powerful weapon.
However, there's no rush now. Yuan Changqing is only at the Life Spring Realm, so there's still time to consider.
Moreover, Yuan Changqing does not currently have a suitable physique to forge his natal divine weapon. However, there is celestial metal on Earth, located within the Kunlun Mountains.
However, with Yuan Changqing's current strength, he might be wiped out by the formation in Kunlun Mountain before he even gets there. No, not just possibly, but definitely.
...
After making some preparations at home, Yuan Changqing set off. This time, Yuan Changqing made preparations in two aspects.
On the one hand, it's to go to Kunlun Mountain to see what's going on there. Even if we can't enter Kunlun Mountain, it's still good to see it for ourselves. It just so happens that Yuan Changqing is studying runes.
The numerous formations set up within Kunlun Mountain could serve as Yuan Changqing's teachers, allowing him to verify the runes he had learned on his own.
Moreover, one can also witness the formations of this world and see if one can learn anything. If one can learn even a little from Kunlun Mountain, it will be of immense benefit.
It's important to know that the lowest level of formations here is a Quasi-Emperor Formation. Even learning just a little bit of it would be incredibly beneficial.
On the other hand, Yuan Changqing needed to see if he had any gains in the Kunlun Mountains. If he had, then things would be fine.
If he didn't succeed, Yuan Changqing planned to learn from Duan De, since Duan De's achievements in this area were considered great in the world of "Covering the Sky".
Later, Ye Fan got his hands on Duan De and was completely satiated with his money. From this, you can imagine how much he had profited from this for many years.
If I had known, this place would have been glorious back when cultivation was still possible on Earth.
So, those cultivators must have left behind a lot of good things after they died. If Yuan Changqing could find some of them, wouldn't that mean he would have cultivation resources?
...
Heading west from Beijing, Yuan Changqing didn't take the main roads, but instead traveled along the banks of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River, as the mother river of China from ancient times to the present, has always accompanied the history of China, and countless myths have been passed down along its banks.
Moreover, Yuan Changqing also wanted to see if he could encounter any historical relics along the way.
It is worth noting that the legendary Emperor Xi Huang also attained enlightenment by the Yellow River, and the names of the imperial weapons Hetu and Luoshu of this ancient emperor are well-known to the general public.
Looking at the turbid Yellow River, after thousands of years, this mother river that has nurtured countless Chinese people has also caused suffering to humanity because of human actions.
Historically, in order to obtain timber, humans relentlessly and indiscriminately cut down forests on the Loess Plateau, leading to large-scale soil erosion and causing a large amount of silt to flow into the Yellow River, thus creating the Yellow River's current turbid appearance.
This is why the Yellow River is so yellow; it's because the river water contains a large amount of silt.
These sediments have also caused the riverbed of the lower Yellow River to rise, making the Yellow River unpredictable and causing great suffering to the people along its banks.
Because of this large amount of silt, the Yellow River's course has changed several times throughout history. It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Yellow River was restored through continuous management.
When Yuan Changqing arrived at the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, there was a famous place there called the Nine Bends of the Yellow River.
The most beautiful natural landscapes here are the first bend of the Yellow River and the Hukou Waterfall.
The most amazing thing about these two landscapes is the three-dimensional map of the Yellow River's winding course.
It is an S-shaped bend formed when the Yellow River flows through these two scenic spots, resembling the Yin-Yang symbol in the Book of Changes.
It also shares similarities with the doctrines of "reincarnation" or "reincarnation of the sun and moon" in Tibetan Bon ("卍") and Tibetan Buddhism ("卐").
The first bend of the Yellow River, with its magnanimous attitude and peaceful mindset, embodies the gentle beauty of the Yellow River spirit, which is characterized by "tranquility leading to far-reaching goals."
The Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, with its grand posture and bold spirit, embodies the dynamic and vigorous masculine energy of the Yellow River.
These two unique landscapes, one dynamic and one static, one yin and one yang, are the best interpretation of the spirit of the Yellow River and a three-dimensional reproduction of the Chinese Yin-Yang Tai Chi theory.
It is said that this is where Fuxi attained enlightenment, and the origin of the imperial weapons, the Hetu and Luoshu, was also derived from this place.
As for the specific truth, it is too far in time to verify.
However, since such a legend exists, it must not be without reason; there must be some explanation behind it.
Yuan Changqing has now reached the Life Spring Realm and can use the Rainbow Transformation Technique.
When Yuan Changqing arrived here, he took to the air and looked at the scene from above, which made it even more three-dimensional.
Looking down from above, the huge natural Tai Chi pattern is imprinted on the earth, with the Yellow River flowing slowly.
Although Yuan Changqing had read the principles of Yin and Yang countless times in the Book of Changes and understood them from some commentaries, he still had a deep understanding of them.
However, without a tangible reference point, one can only know its form but not its underlying principles.
Now that he had such a vivid reference point, Yuan Changqing gained some understanding and gradually immersed himself in the profound and ineffable principles of Tai Chi Yin Yang.
From Wuji comes Taiji, Taiji moves and generates Yang, when movement reaches its extreme it becomes still, when stillness generates Yin, when stillness reaches its extreme it moves again, movement and stillness are mutually rooted, dividing into Yin and Yang.
Immersed in that profound and mysterious realm, Yuan Changqing also grasped some of the mysteries of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.
However, he quickly broke free from that state of mind, and Yuan Changqing looked regretful.
"Looks like the opportunity just isn't there yet," Yuan Changqing murmured.
After all, with Yuan Changqing's current strength, it is still somewhat difficult for him to comprehend these things. On the one hand, he has accumulated too little knowledge, and on the other hand, the Tai Chi Yin Yang is too profound and cannot be comprehended at present.
Yuan Changqing is currently cultivating alone, without a fellow practitioner or anyone to discuss the Dao with. He has little contact with this world and has no one to guide him.
It's like having an object in front of you; you recognize it, but you don't know how to use it.
Because you haven't accumulated enough knowledge, Yuan Changqing is in the same situation now.
He had read quite a few Taoist classics and Buddhist scriptures, but he still couldn't understand the principles behind them. This was because Yuan Changqing's knowledge was still insufficient, which was why he was able to quickly break free from that state of mind.
