Chapter 829: Chapter 370: Innate Eight Diagrams, Divinity Transformation Assembly
A group of people stood on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, eagerly looking forward to Zhang’s emergence from seclusion.
Each innate divine ability was extraordinary.
Take Zheng Fa’s three divine skills, for instance:
The Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light was used by him in the research of spiritual materials, laying the foundation for Jiushan Sect’s artifact refining industry.
If you add the Rainbow Transformation Skills to this, along with the advanced tactical concepts of the Flying Car Gang—Zheng Fa could nearly remain unbeaten in duels: winning is uncertain, but losing seems unlikely.
As for the Great Sun True Fire, it not only allowed Zheng Fa to freely change the spells within his body but also helped others in Jiushan Sect to reshape their foundations.
Almost every divine skill brought immense benefit to both Zheng Fa and the Jiushan Sect.
At this moment, everyone was both surprised and expectant of Zhang obtaining the innate divine ability.
In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the air changed again.
A mass of intertwining black and white Chaos Qi emerged from beyond Xuanwei.
This Chaos Qi, containing Yin Yang and Dragon Tiger, though intangible and shapeless, seemed to encompass everything.
Everyone on Ten Thousand Immortals Island felt a certain indescribable joy and even awe, including Xie Qingxue, the most unique among the Divinity Transformation cultivators, whose gaze held questions and even a hint of fervor.
All were cultivators, with minimum cultivation at the Nascent Soul level.
Looking at the Chaos Qi, they felt as if they were seeing the “Dao.”
In an unexplained tranquility, the Chaos Qi slowly rotated, and amidst countless transformative scenes, at the intersection of black and white, appeared the silhouette of a person, ethereal as an immortal, materializing from void to reality.
It was Zhang.
The black and white Chaos Qi enveloped her and transformed into a white vestment robe.
The robe was as pure as snow, making Zhang resemble a celestial being even more.
The most peculiar part was the strange pattern printed on the back of the robe: a Yin Yang Fish in the center, surrounded by eight similar, orderly diagrams.
“What is this diagram?”
Master Pang mumbled in confusion, but no one around had ever seen this pattern and could only shake their heads.
Only Zheng Fa’s eyes had a hint of curiosity and doubt; he had seen this before:
The Yin Yang Eight Diagram!
The divine skills Zhang realized might be unclear to Master Pang and others, but Zheng Fa had already guessed about eighty percent of it.
From within the Chaos Qi emerged what seemed to be Zhang’s Yang God. She was nearly transparent, her eyes emitted golden light, and even beside her pupils, there was a faint imprint of the Eight Diagrams.
Suddenly, Master Pang furrowed his brows: “Why does Wuyi feel somewhat off?”
Indeed, something felt off.
Usually, Zhang always has a cool expression, but she was never this indifferent.
Her golden pupils lacked even coldness, just a void devoid of anything.
Zhang stood dozens of feet above the ground; to Zheng Fa and Master Pang, this distance was merely reached in an instant.
Yet Zhang’s expression imparted a different feeling—
She was very far away, even feeling not within the same world.
The mist in the sky thickened, Zhang amidst the mist appeared as clean and ethereal as clouds.
She gazed into the void, lost in thought, her expression vacant, seeming both captivated and bewildered.
Master Pang couldn’t hold back and softly called from the ground: “Wuyi…”
Zhang’s head moved, turning toward Master Pang, but the look in her eyes—though not unfamiliar—was void of any ripple, like a bottomless cold pool, unemotional and indifferent.
Seeing this gaze, Master Pang couldn’t help but turn to the others, feeling unsure of what to do.
Zhang’s gaze swept across each person’s face on the ground, her eyes unchanged, as if looking at swine and dogs, or even rocks.
Now everyone understood, Zhang was having a problem!
Looking again at Zhang’s Yang God, an unprecedented sense of detachment from this world arose within everyone.
Zhang saw their worried expressions, yet her gaze remained as steady as an ancient mirror, finally landing on Zheng Fa.
Her eyes stayed fixed.
Zheng Fa also looked at Zhang until he saw the cold pool within her eyes stir, creating ripples and heat.
Zhang smiled.
With a graceful leap, she flew beside Zheng Fa.
“Senior Sister?”
“Wuyi?”
“What happened to you just now?”
Seeing Zhang seemingly restored to normal, everyone began to ask, all speaking at once.
Zhang didn’t speak; only the glow of her Yang God gradually gathered until her physical form appeared, then she shook her head and said: “I had the thought of abandoning everything and immersing myself in the Heavenly Dao just now.”
Master Pang hurriedly asked: “Why did this happen?”
“I’m not sure; perhaps there is something wrong with the Yang God Technique,” Zhang said with a frown, “or perhaps my innate divine ability is too mysterious.”
“What is your innate divine ability?”
Zhang raised the Fei Xian Pen, lightly pointing its tip into the air.
A diagram of the Eight Diagrams reappeared in the void.
“This divine ability of mine is called the Innate Eight Diagrams.”
“What is the Innate Eight Diagrams?”
“It’s a form of deduction technique.”
Zheng Fa listened aside and knew he guessed correctly; even Xie Qingxue curiously asked: “How do you deduce? What’s the difference from the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array?”
Zhang shook her head, with a flick of the Fei Xian Pen, the Eight Diagrams spun rapidly, revealing an hexagram.
That hexagram settled in the air, flying toward Xie Qingxue.
Xie Qingxue hadn’t reacted, yet suddenly felt her body sinking, experiencing dizziness, the sky beneath her feet, the ground overhead, Yin Yang displaced, Qiankun overturned.
“This is…”
“This is one hexagram form of the Innate Eight Diagrams, also a kind of offensive cultivation method, I call it the Qiankun Turn.”
“Impressive…” Xie Qingxue, proud as she was, had to sincerely say, “The scariest part is that I had no sense of alert beforehand.”
“This is one attribute of the Innate Eight Diagrams; it’s derived from nature, naturally accompanied by illusion technique, making defense very challenging, even capable of creating confusion from reality, targeting enemy weaknesses,” Zhang continued, “Its other advantage is leveraging the power of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, without much consumption of the cultivator’s spiritual power.”
