Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 32. The Eight Trigrams
The Thunder Pool is vast, where lightning flashes and thunder roars, and endless thunder evolves, creating, shaping, yin and yang, the five elements, and destroying all kinds of thunderous power, all of which illustrate the mysteries of the Great Dao of Thunder.

It contains not only the Dao inherent in the Thunder Pool itself, but also the enlightenment of the Thunder God throughout his life.

"Excellent!"

After gaining a deeper understanding, Ji Yuan realized that he had been too naive.

The Heavenly Thunder is far more complex than he imagined.

When he obtained the Primordial Xuanhuang Mother Qi on Jin'ao Island, he used the mystery of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi to reverse the origin of the Shangqing Divine Thunder, thereby comprehending the incomplete Dutian Divine Thunder.

Only today did he understand what the Heavenly Thunder God was.

The Heavenly Thunder is hailed as the origin of all thunder, the first divine thunder of the primordial world, integrating yin and yang and incorporating the five elements.

This Thunder Pool contains the "Heavenly Thunder" comprehended by the Thunder God, but it is also an incomplete version, only more complete than the one comprehended by Ji Yuan.

The true Heavenly Thunder contains the power of all things and was used by the Great God Pangu when he created chaos.

Currently, the only entity in the primordial world capable of using the complete version of the Heavenly Thunder is the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation set up by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Actually, using the complete Heavenly Thunder is quite "simple"—it involves merging all the myriad paths into one and transforming it into thunder.

This perfectly aligns with Ji Yuan's cultivation of the Taiyi Dao, transforming the myriad into one and achieving the ultimate leap.

"Wonderful!"

Ji Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. After refining the Innate Thunder Pool, fusing the myriad thunders is cultivating the myriad paths, and cultivating the myriad paths is fusing the myriad thunders. They are endlessly transforming into one another, and one day they will become the Heavenly Divine Thunder!
"My path can be completed!"

Refining the Thunder Pool was not something that could be accomplished in a day, especially since it contained a power. So Ji Yuan refined the Thunder Pool while simultaneously comprehending the various divine thunders within it.

Fortunately, the trip wasn't lonely. The remnant of the Thunder God chatted with Ji Yuan on the side. It's hard to imagine that the original owner of the Thunder Pool would still guide the new owner on how to quickly refine the Thunder Pool after his death. This experience was quite wonderful.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed. With the power of his innate Wind and Thunder Dao Body and the help of the remnant will of the Thunder God, Ji Yuan finally completely refined this Thunder Pool.

Over the course of countless years, the remnant spirit of the Thunder God had many exchanges with Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan also learned why the Thunder Pool had returned to the world.

In response, all he could say was that Thor was too tough. He wouldn't stand for any insults, and even if it meant feigning friendship with the demon race, he would just self-destruct. All he could say was that Thor was truly awesome!
With the innate thunder pool refined, the remnant will of the Thunder God also reached the point of dissipation. The fact that the remnant will of the Thunder God could exist for so long was due to the innate thunder pool.

Ji Yuan looked at the remnant spirit of the Thunder God, bowed deeply, and said:
"Thank you so much, senior."

If it weren't for the help of the Thunder God, I certainly wouldn't have been able to refine the Thunder Pool so quickly and find the direction of the Great Dao.

Thor deserves this honor.

Thor just laughed and said:
"Young man, I find you quite pleasing to the eye. After my true spirit returns to the Dao Beacon, I hope you will take good care of the Dragon Clan."

Thor's laughter carried a hint of bitterness.

Ji Yuan readily agreed, as the Dragon Clan was originally part of his plan.

However, it's a bit strange that Thor asked him to take care of the dragons, since Thor didn't join the dragons, did he?

However, since Thor's lingering will was about to dissipate, he didn't think too much about it.

"Hahaha, kid, I'm off!"

Thor's lingering resentment vanished.

Ji Yuan bowed towards the void.

Once the lingering resentment of the Thunder God dissipated, the thunder in this place greatly diminished, no longer possessing the power of the previous sea of ​​thunder.

Ji Yuan glanced around, took some spiritual creatures that grew in the lightning, as well as minerals that had been tainted by the lightning pool, and then drifted away.

After Ji Yuan left, a dragon head emerged, which was the remnant of the Thunder God.

Looking in the direction Ji Yuan had left, he murmured to himself:
"That old bastard Qinglong was right, this kid's luck is truly extraordinary."

With a flash of light in his eyes, the remnant spirit of the Thunder God fled eastward.

After leaving Buzhou Mountain, Ji Yuan found a safe place to enter the small world.

The small world remained lush and green, with a fiery red egg lying quietly on the ground.

"I wonder when Kong Xuan will come out."

Ji Yuan stroked Kong Xuan's egg twice before sitting cross-legged on the ground. Ten thousand years of time have illuminated a picture album.

The Record of Mythical Beasts from the Mountains and Seas slowly unfolds.

[Light up the Fuxi Diagram to gain the abilities: Taiyi Dao, Primordial Eight Trigrams]

"!"

"Why is it a picture of Fuxi? Isn't Fuxi a snake?"

To be honest, Ji Yuan originally thought that the humanoid illustration might be a human like Chi You or Shennong, but he didn't expect it to be Fuxi.

However, there are different accounts of Fuxi's appearance.

Some are human-animal snakes, while others are human with scales.

Regardless of his appearance, Fuxi was an extraordinary figure in the prehistoric world or the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In fact, it holds an even higher position in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The Fuxi Diagram transformed into a stream of light that flowed into his body, and countless insights flooded his mind.

This ability is different from the past. The Way of Taiyi is not an ability, but rather the presentation of Fuxi's "Dao" in the mysterious space-time to Ji Yuan. Fuxi also cultivated the Way of Taiyi.

Taiyi is formless and without substance, empty and desolate. It is the most primordial state of "nothingness" in the universe. In simple terms, it is the "one" in "one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things".

Taiyi and Taiyi can transform from one into one and from one into many. For example, Laozi (Taishang Laojun) followed the path of transforming one into many, and thus had the supernatural power of transforming one qi into the Three Pure Ones.

Ji Yuan's path is to unify all things into one, to transform all paths into one, to accumulate power through this path, and to break through the barriers of realms. This is Ji Yuan's way of proving the Dao through power.

By observing the way of others, Ji Yuan gained insights into himself; the way of "Fuxi" gave him many understandings.

Ji Yuan then realized that he had actually been walking this path since the beginning of his cultivation.

Entering the world, one sees all spirits; seeing all spirits, one observes all paths; observing all paths, one comprehends oneself. Ji Yuan is certain that when the innate five elements merge into his body, forging the most essential Dao body, that will be the time to break through to the Great Luo realm.

After reflecting on his future path, Ji Yuan began to comprehend the "Pre-Heaven Bagua".

Eight strange symbols, namely “Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun,” emerged from the void.

Before his transmigration, Ji Yuan knew about the Eight Trigrams, but he didn't understand the specifics and couldn't grasp the basics.

The moment the Bagua appeared, Ji Yuan's body was directly "squeezed" out of the small world.

The Eight Trigrams represent eight natural symbols. Upon their birth, they are meant to guide the Great Dao in all directions. The Dao is incomplete in the small world, which is why Ji Yuan appeared in the primordial world under the guidance of the Eight Trigrams.

As soon as Ji Yuan appeared in the primordial world, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, the celestial phenomena changed drastically, attracting the attention of countless supreme beings.

"Qian represents Heaven!"

"Kun represents Earth!"

"Li represents fire!"

"Kan represents water!"

"Zhen represents thunder!"

"The wind is Xun!"

"Gen represents mountain!"

"Dui (兑) represents Ze (泽)!"

Immediately, eight strange phenomena began to appear centered on Ji Yuan.

The eight trigrams correspond to eight unusual phenomena, and the eight unusual phenomena in turn correspond to eight great principles.

Eight great principles of heaven and earth resonated in unison, and the innate eight trigrams began to evolve into myriad phenomena. Then, myriad phenomena transformed into the eight trigrams, the eight trigrams transformed into the four symbols, and the four symbols transformed into the Taiji. The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle obtained from the Golden-Winged Roc suddenly flew out from Ji Yuan's spiritual platform.

Under the overwhelming power of the Great Dao, it transformed into Yin and Yang energies.
