The next morning, when Lu Zhaozhao followed the Tianyin Sect's team to the shore of East Lake, he finally understood why Master Bai Yuan had so generously revealed Wen Yuan and Qing Hui's plan for the trip to East Lake yesterday.

The lakeside was filled with people, and at a glance, there was no end in sight. Various costumes representing different sects were interspersed, as if all the sects heading to East Lake were invited.

Lu Zhaozhao looked through the crowd and looked at Master Bai Yuan who was standing in the front row. He was chatting and greeting people around him. Compared with Yue Cong, he was more like the leader of Wenyuan Academy.

The leader seemed to be telling something funny, causing everyone in the circle to burst into laughter.

With a smile on her face, perhaps she sensed Lu Zhaozhao's gaze and turned her head to look at her.

Lu Zhaozhao shifted his gaze smoothly and fixed it on Yun Xian who was in the front.

The lakeside was bustling with people. It was a rare opportunity for all the major sects to gather together. Even the most introverted ones had one or two close friends to talk to, except Yun Xian.

Lu Zhaozhao had never heard that he had any close friends. Whether he was inside the sect or outside, whether he was going down the mountain to gain experience or to handle affairs, he seemed to have always been alone. Just like now, he was standing alone at the front, and there seemed to be a barrier between him and the people behind him. He was unwilling to talk to anyone, and others did not dare to look for him.

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, this figure seemed particularly lonely.

As far as he could remember, the only time there was someone by his side was when Nian Zhi pulled his sleeve and chatted with him on Mushan Mountain.

At this moment, Lu Zhaozhao seemed to understand why Yun Xian fell in love with Nian Zhi.

Yao Tong, who was beside her, saw that she had been staring at Yun Xian and thought she was afraid of being recognized. She patted her arm and comforted her softly, "I met Sect Leader Yun before when I was out training. He doesn't like to communicate with others. We should keep a distance from him. I don't think he will be recognized."

Lu Zhaozhao turned around and looked into her light-colored eyes. The warmth in her eyes seemed to infect him, and he nodded with a smile.

The noisy greetings continued, but Yun Xian suddenly raised a hand.

Everyone present fell silent, their eyes fixed on him.

He just pointed lightly at the lake surface, and the mirror-like East Lake suddenly became turbulent. The waves hit each other, splashing water everywhere, rushing straight into the sky, and then falling down, pouring on the people by the lake.

The water droplets melted automatically when they fell around the cloud string. Without getting his clothes or hair wet, he stretched out his other hand and drew a few strokes in the air.

As the fingertips moved, golden light appeared, and golden lines floated in the air, transforming into strange characters.

People started whispering around, as if they were all discussing this scene.

"I have never seen these words before." Yao Tong also sighed beside him.

Lu Zhaozhao looked intently at the words appearing in the air and Yun Xian's constantly moving fingers. He felt familiar and his mind was spinning rapidly.

While thinking, his gaze shifted and fell on Master Bai Yuan beside him. He seemed to be thinking about something as well.

His hands drew something behind his back that looked like a circle but wasn't, and then he changed his gestures.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned, an idea about to come to mind.

It turns out that what Yun Xian wrote were not words, but hexagrams!

She looked towards Ziyun Temple, and sure enough, the abbot of Ziyun Temple seemed to be thinking about something.

For a moment, Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but look at Master Bai Yuan differently again.

Wenyuan Academy reads all the documents in the world, and comprehends the laws of the world from the insights of the predecessors in order to cultivate oneself. However, Lu Zhaozhao did not expect that Master Bai Yuan also studied hexagrams.

Wenyuan Academy should not be underestimated.

Shifting my gaze to the sky again, the hexagram now became much clearer.

The first word rises rapidly.

"The word 'Qian' means reaching the sky."

The abbot of Ziyun Temple was the first to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex appeared in the clouds in the sky, connecting with the waves, like a pillar supporting the heaven and the earth.

Before I could recover from this magnificent sight, the second word began to move.

"Kun means returning to the wild."

Master Bai Yuan was the first to react.

As expected, the second word penetrated straight into the lakeside ground, as if blending into the soil, but in the next moment it emitted light, and the Bagua plate unfolded on the ground.

At the same time, the third word also began to move.

This time, many people noticed it and watched its actions closely.

"What will the third one be? The Zhen hexagram?"

Yue Chong asked a question. He was not good at divination. He only knew what the eight trigrams were, but he could not tell the trajectory of the cloud string.

His question also expressed what most people were thinking, and few people present understood this.

But Master Bai Yuan just shook his head, his eyes following the movement of the words.

"The third hexagram should be..."

"Kan Gua!"

Lu Zhaozhao and Master Bai Yuan spoke at the same time, and everyone's eyes turned to the two of them. Master Bai Yuan looked at Lu Zhaozhao, and Lu Zhaozhao also looked at Master Bai Yuanzhao.

Both of them saw approval in each other's eyes.

At the same time, the Kan hexagram entered the water, causing huge waves on the lake, covering the sky, and the place was plunged into eternal night in an instant.

Yun Xian waved his sleeves, and golden threads crisscrossed between heaven and earth, shining brightly.

He shouted softly, "Open!"

The color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed, huge waves fell from the sky, the hexagram plate was put away, the clouds returned, and the rising sun shone on the earth again.

The lake water rolled into a huge ball on the lake surface, and the water slowly flowed down and merged into the East Lake again, revealing the scene wrapped in it.

A gate stands on the lake.

Beside the door, a giant dragon was carved. The dragon coiled around the stone door tightly, as if guarding the things inside.

Yun Xian slowly closed his five fingers, and with a sudden drop of his arm, the stone door slowly opened.

Everyone was impressed by his movements, which were smooth and yet shocking.

"Master Yun truly is... a man of heaven."

Someone sighed, Yaotong also whispered his admiration to Lu Zhaozhao, and the disciples of Emperor Huizong of Qing who were present were even more proud of it.

The calmest person in the whole audience was Lu Zhaozhao, Yun Xian's direct disciple.

"This is... the entrance to the Dragon Trace?"

Some people around raised questions.

The result was obvious, and everyone looked inside curiously.

Yun Xian did not answer, but just stepped on the lake and walked towards the stone gate step by step.

Master Bai Yuan pulled Yue Cong back to reality from his turbulent state. Yue Cong immediately calmed himself down and said to the crowd, "The entrance is open. Aren't you going to leave?"

The people by the lake finally came to their senses and found another surprise right before their eyes. They almost rushed towards the stone gate in a rush.

Lu Zhaozhao turned and looked at Yaotong. Yaotong nodded at her and led the Tianyin Sect forward, just keeping a distance from Wenyuan Academy and Emperor Huizong of Qing in the front.

The Wenyuan Academy where Master Bai Yuan was located had already reached the entrance. He turned around, his gaze passing over the dense crowd and falling directly on Lu Zhaozhao at the end of the team, his eyes filled with unclear meaning.

Lu Zhaozhao met his gaze and knew that it was the words she had just blurted out that aroused his suspicion.

Yao Tong dodged and stood in front of her, blocking Master Bai Yuan's sight.

Master Bai Yuan chuckled, retracted his gaze, turned around and entered the stone gate.
