It was as if the place where Jiang Li was located had become detached from the world, with time speeding up around him, while at Feng Manlou, everything moved normally.

The stark contrast between the acceleration and normal pace almost caused great discomfort to Jiang Li, who perceived the anomaly.

'He didn't use the Cosmic Light Divine Ability, but directly manipulated time with the Book of Luo, and his words... the Great Venerable must have more secrets.'

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Jiang Li quickly cast it aside.

It was normal for the Great Venerable to have secrets.

More importantly, his key focus now was to organize what he had gained and to demonstrate his Dao Fruit.

The Unity of Heaven and Man had already greatly integrated Jiang Li's Dao Fruit. Next, he needed to arrange his understanding into tangible content.

[Great objects in this realm cannot compare to heaven and earth, yet they too have their limits. Heaven's breadth is exhausted by Yin and Yang. Earth's breadth is defined by the hard and the soft. Yin and Yang run their course and the four seasons are thus formed; the hard and the soft run their course and the four dimensions are determined...]

In his eyes, the Eight Trigrams rotated, the Magic Doors that he had previously extrapolated with the power of the heavens were now being reorganized, with the many profound truths crystallizing in his heart and inscribed into sentences in the Karma Collection.

According to Jiang Li's understanding, Yin and Yang were originally one; this 'one' is active as Yang and passive as Yin. In the heavens, it manifests as sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, and clouds. On the earth, it manifests as water, fire, earth, and stone - as mountains and rivers.

Everything arises from 'one', one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three.

Two represents the dynamic and static Yin and Yang, and three refers to the Three Elements, also known as the Three Tombs.

As line after line of text appeared, the Three Elements within Jiang Li's body were activated accordingly.

With the Nine Great Qi Seas as the foundation, the Image of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams is formed; essence becomes the Eight Forms, representing heavenly bodies, earth, mountains, and rivers; Qi becomes the eight Innate Qi, representing elements such as wood, wind, water, fire, mountain, and gold. And Divinity—

As the Eight Trigrams rotated in Jiang Li's left eye, Divinity corresponded to heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and lakes.

The Nine Great Qi Seas were located throughout the human body, inherently embodying form and capable of carrying Dao within. With innate Qi brewing Divinity, the Eight Trigrams manifested.

The Three Elements evolve into the Three Tombs, creating endless variations of all beings.

Yet, when it comes to generating all beings, the Three Elements once again return to their origin, Returning to the Origin, transforming once more into Eight Forms, eight Innate Qi, and Eight Trigrams. Immediately after, Divinity collaborates with Qi to evolve into Eight Sceneries, swirling around Jiang Li.

Subsequently, the Eight Sceneries merged back into the Qi Seas corresponding to the positions of the Eight Trigrams, as immense streams of Divine Thought and Primordial Qi began to pour into the Qi Seas, merging with the Acupoints.

However, at this step, there was difficulty.

Jiang Li's "Form Tomb" was only cultivated into the Wind Formation Qi and the Rain Form Cloud; among the Eight Scenaries, only the Two Sceneries could fuse into the Physical Body, with the remaining six Sceneries unable to merge.

'The "Mountain Tomb" is mainly about usage, and although I haven't fully cultivated the "Mountain Tomb", having obtained the Eight Trigrams of Heaven, I've already reached the realm of transformation in usage. Even without full cultivation, it's as if I have achieved it. Yet, the "Form Tomb" is different. Even if I use the Qi Body Origin method to merge, without cultivating the "Form Tomb" completely, I have not truly integrated the Three Tombs.'

Seeing this, Jiang Li was not surprised; he had anticipated this step.

This did not prevent him from continuing to write out the Magic Door.

All things return to three, and three transforms into two—the two elements of Yin and Yang. It is about merging the Eight Trigrams within the Nine Great Qi Seas in opposition of Yin and Yang. Afterward, two returns to one, all Qi Seas converge outside of the Eight Trigrams into the core, returning to one to form Taiji.

In this way, Jiang Li could consider the Three Tombs as his own.

Although this did not mean that his cultivation technique surpassed the Three Tombs, by reaching this step, Jiang Li had already created his own path, stepping out of the confines of the Three Tombs, of the Three Emperors.

By then, he could be considered a master, worthy of the title of Great Master.

The text on the Karma Collection also stopped at the point of Taiji. Hidden within his left pupil was the faint shape of the Yin Yang Fish, while the Eight Sceneries around him suddenly expanded, passing through mountains and transforming into the firmament.

At this moment, Jiang Li had experienced an unknown amount of time within the accelerated flow of time, but in the outside world, it was still before nightfall, dusk was upon them.

The evening sunlight fell on the blood-stained wilderness, illuminating it with an added touch of desolation and bleakness. Suddenly, a bright light rose from a mountain, piercing through thousands of landscapes, manifesting the lofty azure sky, the vast earth, the endless Long Wind, thunder and lightning, the expansive Cangming sea, imposing peaks, fields ablaze with Heavenly Fire, and Tianshui lakes and countries, among other Eight Sceneries, as if a new realm had descended.

The chill that had begun with the nightfall was driven away, and the bloodstains were covered by the Eight Sceneries, all of creation's marvels contained within.

...

...

'With such Divine Skills... could Jiang Li also possess the power of the heavens?'

Hundreds of miles away in the sky, a figure clad in a white robe with golden dragon patterns, face as fair as jade—the Eight Heavenly Dragons and Great Power Bodhisattva—looked towards the distant Eight Sceneries with an expression of solemnity.

By his side, a Wisdom Round Light materialized, revealing a Bodhisattva Dharma Image holding a Wisdom Sword on top of a five-crested head, none other than Manjusri Bodhisattva from the Buddha Country.

'True or false is difficult to discern, it could be real, or it might just be an Empty City Strategy,' observed Manjusri's Dharma Image, gazing far at the Eight Sceneries, saying evenly, 'This move has the hint of a bluff, but it might also be showing weakness to the enemy, luring them into the trap. These Eight Sceneries contain creation's mysteries; without the power of the heavens, they would be hard to wield.'

'Dinghu Tianxuan indeed possesses extraordinary intelligence, managing to display third grade power with fourth-rank strength, but to wield power beyond one's grade surely comes at a cost. I am eighty percent sure that she is currently incapable of exhibiting third grade power. Yet now, with these Eight Sceneries emerging... it's not good to probe.'

Even if one suspects it might be a stratagem, no one dares to take the risk.

To probe the opponent's condition is to drive them away at most; killing Tianxuan is immensely difficult. But one false step into a trap could lead to injury, potentially making oneself the new target.
