Chapter 51: The Nine Palaces
The faint white light gradually turned yellow, and Yang Zixiao slowly woke up, he had been in the time realm for a month, and he had slowly adapted to the time changes here. He found that his body hadn't changed much, and his hair hadn't grown longer, could it be that the time of this secret realm didn't make him age?
"Wake up, wake up and get ready to start!"
"Master, I want to ask, if I stay in this secret realm for ten years, will I become twenty-seven years old?"
"No, this secret realm prolongs time, but it doesn't make you age, and you stay for ten years or the same as if you were in the outside world for a year. Why are you afraid of getting old?"
"No! I'm just curious!" Yang Zixiao was really worried, if he became twenty-seven years old, how could his brother still call him his younger brother?
"Okay! Don't think about those useless things! Today I will teach you the most basic knowledge of the enchantment master! The ancient god Mi Xi created the innate eight trigrams, and later evolved the eight-vein exercises and passed them on to the world. Emperor Wa borrowed from the eight trigrams and relied on the Eight Veins Exercise to establish the [Nine Palaces]. This [Nine Palaces] is the general outline of the enchantment technique, and all the enchantment techniques have evolved from it! Since then, under the Eight Veins Technique, there have been two branches of martial arts and enchantment. Now, I will pass you [Nine Palaces], you listen well, wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, and five in the center!
Zuo Qiutang waited for a while before asking, "Remember?"
"Remember.........! It's all fifteen!" Yang Zixiao recited it word for word.
"Well, that's right! This central five is the caster himself, or the person being cast. Whatever spell you unleash, you need to have an equilibrium in the aura, or the enchantment will burst or dissipate. And this mantra is to tell you how to distribute the aura and ensure the balance of the aura in this enchantment! This is the most crucial point of becoming an enchantment master! You think about it first, and then we will continue when you figure it out!"
"Master! I understand! Go on!" Yang Zixiao drew this [Nine Palaces] in his heart, and he was already familiar with it.
"Do you really understand?" Zuo Qiutang was a little unconvinced, no matter how smart Yang Zixiao was, it was impossible for him to understand it so quickly, it took him half a month to figure it out.
"This is not difficult to understand! If you release an offensive enchantment technique on the master, then the master's prescription position is the central five, and the aura is distributed according to the [Nine Palaces] song recipe, the master's left shoulder is four points of aura, the top of the head is nine points of aura, and the right shoulder is two points of aura...... The right foot is a six-point aura! If you release the protective enchantment with yourself as the center, you only need to swap the distribution of the left and right aura! Master, is the disciple right?"
"Hmm...... That's basically it!" Zuo Qiutang didn't have any abnormalities on the surface, but there were waves in his heart! he didn't expect that Yang Zixiao would already understand this [Nine Palaces] so quickly, and he could draw inferences from one another, this kind of intelligence is really rare, far better than himself!
"Since that's the case, then I'll continue![Nine Palaces] are endlessly changing, and almost all the enchantment techniques are changed from this [Nine Palaces]! Next, I'll teach you how to use the aura to set up the array! Take one of the enchantments, the [Radiant Light Mask], as an example!" Zuo Qiu Tang clenched his fist with one hand, and a light mask formed by the aura was instantly formed, enveloping Zuo Qiu Tang in it.
"Isn't it necessary to assign the aura to the eight directions centered on the caster?Why can't I sense the fluctuation of the aura?" Yang Zixiao was surprised, he didn't even perceive the fluctuation of Zuo Qiutang's aura, and the enchantment was formed in an instant!
"According to the mantra of [Radiant Light Mask], I have already formed a formation of aura in my body! It comes in an instant, of course you can't feel it! You come and try it, I'll teach you the mantra first. Zuo Qiutang recited the [Radiant Mask] mantra to Yang Zixiao one by one. Yang Zixiao compressed the aura into a thin film according to the formula, and then distributed the aura of the eight formations in his body, and instantly emitted it out of his body, and a huge aura cover was instantly formed! Yang Zixiao was extremely excited, this was the first time he had cast an enchantment, and he could succeed in one attempt!
"That's right! This [Radiant Light Mask] is an introductory skill for the Enchantment Master, it is extremely simple, you can master it in an instant, I am not surprised, you must not be proud!" Zuo Qiu Tang said this, but in his heart he couldn't believe it, he couldn't see through this disciple during this period of time! Yang Zixiao was able to master this [Radiant Light Mask] in such a short period of time! Although this move was only at the end of the Enchantment Technique, it was also an Enchantment Technique! It's already very good for a beginner to be able to do it, but he can actually condense into a formation in his body like himself, and then instantly send it out of his body! You must know that this requires extremely strong control over the aura, and some two-rank and third-grade enchantment masters can't do it! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed what was happening in front of him.
"Yes, master, so what's next?"
"Next, you continue to practice! Practice this [Radiant Light Mask] a hundred times today!" Zuo Qiutang didn't teach Yang Zixiao anything new, the most important thing for the enchantment master is speed! Even if he used the powerful enchantment technique, it would take several hours, and he would have been killed a long time ago, so what was the use? He let Yang Zixiao repeat it constantly, just to get him used to the distribution of aura and make him form an instinctive reaction!
"Yes, master!" Yang Zixiao stepped aside and began to practice again and again. He didn't slack off just because he had mastered the [Radiant Mask], but worked harder and more seriously to complete every practice!
Zuo Qiutang looked at Yang Zixiao who was sweating there, and admired it very much in his heart, he was smart and hardworking, such a person was the most terrifying!
For three consecutive days, Zuo Qiutang asked Yang Zixiao to practice the [Radiant Light Mask], and Yang Zixiao also completed the task assigned by Zuo Qiutang very seriously, until Yang Zixiao made this [Shining Light Mask] as pure as fire, and his mind was immediately apparent!
"Hmm~ almost, you can now be called an enchantment master. ”
"Is that now a first-grade enchantment master?"
"Fart! You don't have a product yet! You need to practice [Prison God], you have only now cultivated an enchantment technique, and you want to become a product?" Zuo Qiutang was a little unhappy, he was extremely narcissistic, and he was a genius in people's mouths since he was a child, but now his disciple is better than him in all aspects, and he has long held back his anger, so he just took the opportunity to vent and teach this disciple who even he was jealous of.
Yang Zixiao didn't know why Zuo Qiutang was angry, and thought that it was his master who was so ambitious that he was angry, and warned himself in his heart to be more down-to-earth step by step.
Time flies, and six months have passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Zixiao deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed, and even if he could master the enchantment technique in one day, it took him two to three days to consolidate. Today, he happened to be cultivating the fifty-fifth of the enchantment, [Imprisoned God]
"Today I am going to practice the fifty-fifth of this enchantment - [Prison God]! You may want to laugh and think that this name is too exaggerated, but according to the records of Valhalla, the first hall master once used this trick to trap Mi God for a moment! It is very rare to be able to trap a god for a moment, so this trick is called [Prison God]! This trick is also the most widely spread trick in Valhalla, many people know it, and many people have seen it. What's more, this trick is the standard set by Valhalla for enchantment masters, how many products a barrier master has, and whether it is excellent or not, depends on how well this [Prison God] is used!"
"Then why do you want to use this [Prison God] to order the product? There are ninety-nine moves in the enchantment technique, why is it it?"
"When you learn it, you will know, although this [Prison God] is the fifty-fifth of the enchantment, it is extremely complicated, and the requirements for the enchantment master are extremely high! It is said that this [Prison God] was originally the ninety-two of the enchantment, and it was later simplified by the first hall master, making it much simpler and less powerful, which is why there is the current [Prison God], and it has also become the standard of the fixed product!"
Yang Zixiao nodded, thoughtful. Since this [Imprisoned God] is a simplified version of the ninety-two of the enchantment, then perhaps a glimpse of the secret of the ninety-two of the enchantment can be glimpsed from it.
Zuo Qiutang began to explain to Yang Zixiao the [Prison God], originally this trick was extremely complicated! It was necessary to calculate the [Sixteen Palaces] through the [Nine Palaces], spread the spiritual energy in the sixteen directions, and be able to maintain the balance of the aura! But few people could do it! Therefore, the first hall master simplified it to the [Nine Palaces], and the world mastered this [Prison God]! Yang Zixiao listened carefully to the master's explanation, and sighed in his heart, this [Nine Palaces] alone is extremely difficult to calculate, if it is not for the Nine Palaces formula, if you want to deduce it, it is difficult to ascend to the sky! He calculated and drew graphs in his mind over and over again, and gradually discovered some of these rules, but he could not find the key point, and his heart was depressed.
"Do you remember the essentials of this [Prison God]?" Zuo Qiutang glanced at Yang Zixiao, who was chanting words with his head down, thought of his former self, and continued: "I have calculated the [Sixteenth Palace] based on this [Nine Palaces], and I have been calculating for decades, but I can't find a way, horizontal, vertical, and oblique angles can't always get an identical sum value, and I can't let the aura reach a balance point! The legendary enchantment of the ninety-nine requires the aura to be distributed in eighty-one directions!"
Zuo Qiu Tang has been calculating the [Sixteenth Palace] for decades, but he has never been able to find a way, let alone the [Twenty-fifth Palace], [Thirty-sixth Palace] and so on. And all the enchantment techniques after the ninety-first of the enchantment, the simplest is to distribute the aura in the sixteen directions according to the [Sixteen Palaces], so that the [True Prison God]! Even if you get the enchantment mantra later, if you can't deduce the balance point of the aura, you will definitely not be able to use it!
"[Imprisoned God] I remember! I will start practicing now!" Yang Zixiao had already memorized the [Imprisoned God], but he still did not give up deducing the [Sixteenth Palace], and when he heard that the master had made no progress in deducing for decades, a sense of frustration filled his heart.
"Don't think too much about it! The [Nine Palaces] created by Emperor Wa and the evolution that followed, how can we easily understand it? It has been recorded in some ancient documents that many people are deeply involved in deduction, unable to extricate themselves, and have been doing nothing in their lives, don't be too obsessed!"
"Yes, the disciple knows!" Yang Zixiao knew that the master was afraid that he would fall into deduction and abandon his cultivation, but he still did not give up in his heart!
