The curse of King Wen's Palace had become the destiny of every cultivator who had inherited the Innate Eight Trigrams. Xiao Chen understood everything through Tiantai Xuan's memory.
The Divination Emperors of King Wen's Palace had sacrificed their lives generation after generation, but none of them had backed down. The inheritors of the Innate Eight Trigrams understood that this was their destiny.
Tiantai Xuan was the disciple of the current Great Emperor Wu Tian, so she might become the next Great Emperor's Teacher in the future.
Xiao Chen did this not only to save her, but also to test whether the Great Nirvana Technique could defy the heavens and change fate. Compared to the divination emperors of the past, eight Imperial Luck Crystals were nothing if it could remove the curse of King Wen's Palace!
Xiao Chen had inserted the crystals into the Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun Eight Trigrams. Now, only the central position was left.
Whether Tiantai Xuan's Star Eight Trigrams could recover or not depended on this!
Fate was unpredictable. Even powerful beings did not dare to say that they could go against the heavens and earth. Regarding the mysteries of fate, even the tiniest bit could contain great secrets that involved the heavens and earth.
"I've inserted the crystals into the eight trigrams. Next, I'll activate the center of the Trigram Plate."
Xiao Chen's Immortal Soul appeared on the small star in the center, facing Tiantai Xuan.
"Let's start. There's no need to hesitate. Since we've come this far, we have to keep going."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's mind was heard again.
"Alright."
Tiantai Xuan subconsciously said. She had sensed Xiao Chen's Immortal Martial Soul, but she didn't know what to do.
In a trance, the unfamiliar yet familiar figure in front of him, apart from the initial repulsion, at this moment, a warm current flowed through his mind.
"Wait!"
Just as Tiantai Xuan took out the nine-patterned Luck Monarch Crystal, Xiao Chen's will descended and stopped her.
Then, Xiao Chen took out another crystal.
"Since the Eight Directions Trigrams have already been integrated into the Imperial Crystal of Providence cast by my Gu Yuan Tribe, they are of the same origin and have the same Providence. This piece of land is no longer lacking!"
Buzz!
A purple crystal with nine patterns on it was emitting waves of purple light.
The nine Imperial Luck Crystals had the same origin, so they were naturally connected to each other. If Tiantai Xuan had a thirty percent chance of awakening the small star world before, then that chance had increased to sixty percent or even seventy percent.
As for the 100% chance, she had never thought about it.
"Is this the variable in the crisis that Master spoke of?"
Tiantai Xuan was lost in her thoughts.
Before she came to Desolate Border's Ancient Yuan, her master, the current emperor's teacher, Heaven Enlightening Great Emperor, divined that there would be variables on this trip.
Although there was no guarantee of a 100% success rate, there was still a chance of good fortune amidst misfortune. Whether or not he could successfully change his fate depended on this variable.
At that moment, Tiantai Xuan finally understood what Great Emperor Wu Tian was talking about.
She had never imagined that the Gu Yuan Wang Clan would actually possess so many Royal Crystals of Fate. She had never even imagined that Xiao Chen would take out nine Royal Crystals of Fate of the Nine Runes all at once. Their value was simply immeasurable.
"Precelestial Eight Trigrams, evolve the stars, the Great Dao, and use the gods to control them!"
Very soon, Tiantai Xuan shouted. She took the Fate Monarch Crystal from Xiao Chen's hand, and a vast decaying aura started to appear. This was the Death Qi in the small world, and it started to move from the stars in the surroundings.
Bzzz bzzz!
The stars in the Eight Trigrams began to shine with starlight. A strange Qi was surging between them.
Xiao Chen's consciousness appeared around him. He saw that between the stars, there was a faint Qi that connected all the stars.
Wisps of purple gas also began to spread along this faintly discernible connection.
It had begun!
Tiantai Xuan's fate began to change.
"Gather the human race's fate!"
Tiantai Xuan threw the Royal Crystals into the lonely stars below. Immediately, a deafening explosion was heard in the small world.
Boom boom boom!
Nine beams of purple light pierced through the sky of the small world. The purple light looked like a spider web and covered all the stars in the Eight Trigrams.
"The destiny is with me! Move the stars and create the Eight Trigrams!"
Shouted Tiantai Xuan. In just a few seconds, Tiantai Xuan's immortal martial spirit had already become weak. Her fate had started to change.
The nine Monarch Fate Crystals were also activated, forming pillars of light that connected together to form a grand spell formation. However, the stars in her world of stars were still deathly still, and the aura of death was even stronger than before.
It seemed like it was going to swallow the purple Qi.
"Qian position, move!"
Seeing this, Tiantai Xuan's Immortal Martial Spirit was determined. The nine King of Luck Crystals were already in place, and they had been activated. If she couldn't activate the small world, it would be her fate, and she couldn't blame anyone else.
Boom!
The sky was shaking. The stars in the Qian position were shaking. The deathly Qi and the Qi were intertwining. They looked like balls that contained a terrifying power. However, they couldn't completely wake up the Qian position!
"Oh no!"
Thought Xiao Chen. He hadn't thought that Tiantai Xuan couldn't even wake up the first Qian position of the Eight Trigrams, let alone the Seven Trigrams.
Bzzz!
He took a step forwards and landed next to Tiantai Xuan. His immortal martial spirit stretched out its hands and put them on her shoulders.
"Follow me and draw the Karmic Luck once more!"
Said Tiantai Xuan. She sensed the soul power coming towards her. Her will fused together again and her immortal martial spirit sensed a warm strength flowing through it.
"Nirvana rebirth isn't that easy. It's like fighting against the earth and sky. My people are good at calculating the destiny of the heavens, so we have to be punished. That's our destiny."
Tiantai Xuan's consciousness was circulating in their Martial Spirits.
"Leader Xiao, hurry up and leave the small world. Tiantai will use a mysterious technique to activate the small world again. Even though I didn't activate the small world, the earth and sky noticed me. That's Tiantai's fate!" said Xiao Luo.
"I don't believe in destiny!"
Said Xiao Chen. The two of them fused together. He could sense that Tiantai Xuan had made a decision. She wanted to fight to the death.
If she didn't activate the small world, it would be destroyed.
"Those stones were made by Wang Gu Yuan's people. I have a closer connection to them than you do. I'll activate the fortune and you'll activate the stars. Let's fuse them together."
"Leader Xiao, we only have one chance, and it's very short. Our teacher will activate the order of the earth and sky. If we don't do it, we'll be destroyed!"
Tiantai Xuan hesitated for a second. She wasn't a shy woman, she was decisive.
"Alright!"
At that moment, in the sky above Wang Gu Yuan's people, thunder rumbled.
Boom boom boom!
At that moment, all the cultivators of Wang Gu Yuan's people sensed something, including the ordinary cultivators of the Bone Tempering layer and the peerless cultivators of Wang Gu Yuan's people.
This was an explosion that directly manifested in the spiritual world. In fact, the stronger one was, the more they could feel the terror of this heavenly might!
"That's the heavens' power! Who has angered the heavens!?" some cultivators shouted. They had sensed a will that was above the heavens and the earth.
This was a kind of rule. It wasn't mixed with any emotions. It was like a cold spear moving according to its own orbit.
These cultivators stared at the inner city of Wang Gu Yuan's people, which was already surrounded by the great formation.
…
In the distant Middle Earth, at the top of the highest mountain in King Wen's palace …
An old man with white hair and beard stood at the peak of the mountain, looking towards the southeast. His murky eyes seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of the world.
"The rules of the world are ruthless, but we humans are. I don't know if I can hold on to this chance."
The old man smiled, his white hair and beard shaking.
Bzzz!
In the next moment, a jade-like skull appeared in the elder's hand. The skull gave off an ancient aura, but it was slightly too large. It did not seem like a human's skull. Not only that, but there was also a faint sovereign's might seeping out from the skull.
The skull was hollowed out and carved into the shape of the Eight Trigrams. At that moment, on the carved trigrams, there were ancient seals and lines that kept flashing.
"Heaven and Earth Reverse, Dui Gen Reverse, Yin and Yang Reverse, Heaven and Earth Reverse, Heaven and Earth Chaos!"
In an instant, the position of the Eight Trigrams on the skull started moving. As the old man shouted, the Heaven and Earth Reverse, Dui Gen Reverse. However, the most terrifying thing was around the old man.
The rules of the world actually started becoming chaotic. The rules of the world were the foundation that supported the operation of the world. At that moment, the old man had completely disrupted them.
Boom boom boom!
Almost at the same moment, a terrifying heavenly power descended. Yin and Yang reversed. This meant that the rules of the world had been destroyed. The world wouldn't allow it.
At that moment, the rules of the world stared at the old man.
…
In the small world of stars, Xiao Chen and Tiantai Xuan had completely fused into one.
"The glorious human clan, the world is full of luck, Qi movement!"
This time, it was Xiao Chen's turn. He activated the strength of the Eight Trigrams again.
Boom boom boom!
After Xiao Chen activated it, this time, the purple pillar of light pierced through the small world. It was more than ten times stronger than the previous one.
In the vast purple splendor, many purple light dragons circled around the light pillar, roaring and swallowing the purple aura that filled the sky, devouring the overflowing death aura.
"Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams, Open!"
Shouted Tiantai Xuan. Xiao Chen had activated the Eight Trigrams for her. He had taken most of the pressure off her shoulders. Finally, she had enough strength to control the stars.
After a while, a gigantic star appeared in the purple light beam. The starlight was dazzling, it illuminated the entire sky and drove away the endless Death Qi.
The Qian stars had finally started to wake up!
Boom!
The starlight and the purple Qi started fusing together. The entire Qian region was surrounded by the purple Qi and the Death Qi.
"Dui, open!"
…
"Kun, open!"
In a few seconds, the Eight Trigrams were all activated.
