"The way of heaven and earth creates all things through the energy of yin and yang."
In a flickering cave, Lin Yi was staring at a stone gate, reading the carved text on it.
"Wu Ji creates Tai Ji, Tai Ji gives birth to Two Yi, Two Yi gives birth to Four Symbols, Four Symbols give birth to Eight Trigrams, Eight Trigrams create Sixty-Four Hexagrams."
After reading this passage, Lin Yi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Isn't this the core outline of the Eight Trigrams Array of the Hua Country in reality?
Why does it appear here in this form?
Is this the main reason why that old man confidently believed I could break the seal?
At this mont, Lin Yi, deeply shocked, failed to notice that Tanzawa Yixiong beside him was looking at him with an equally unbelievable expression.
It's obvious from his eyes that he was genuinely shocked by the passage Lin Yi had just read out.
Just then, Lin Yi wiped the dust off the stone gate with his hand, revealing a line of small characters beneath:
"This place seals the ancient fierce beast, the Eight-Clawed Fire Python."
"This beast is born from the blaze, spits alien flas, and is incapable of being vanquished by anyone."
"From the mont of its birth, the Eight-Clawed Fire Python possessed abilities reaching the heavens, wreaking havoc in the South Sea Islands, causing calamities to countless beings."
"Now it is sealed by my Celestial Clan under the na of 'Acting on behalf of Heaven' beneath Celestial River City."
"Let it awaken and reform within the seal, and on the day of unsealing, it may bring blessings to the people."
Finally, Lin Yi read out the concluding note with a surge of emotion: 'Celestial Clan·Dayu' Creation Calendar: Year 1044 (留).
Upon seeing the date on the note, Lin Yi was imdiately stupefied.
It is now the Creation Calendar 5998, which ans the Eight-Clawed Fire Python has been sealed for nearly five thousand years.
At this mont, Tanzawa Yixiong looked at Lin Yi excitedly:
"Saint Master, do you recognize the writing above?"
Lin Yi was stunned by this unexpected question:
"Is there sothing... improper!"
Suddenly, Lin Yi turned his head to look at the fonts on the stone gate, and his eyes widened at once:
"What the~"
Are these not the ancient clerical script fonts of Hua Country?
The text on Rafam Continent doesn't resemble the square shapes like those of Hua Country at all.
Tanzawa Yixiong beca even more excited than Lin Yi:
"You actually recognize the writing of the Celestial Clan; now I finally believe you can unlock this seal."
Lin Yi had gradually cald down from the shock brought by everything in front of him.
Feeling a sense of familiarity, Lin Yi reached out to touch the carved text on the stone gate.
The Celestial Clan uses Hua Country's script rather than the worm-like script of Farlam Continent?
Seeing sothing familiar in this Otherworld Continent is truly an extraordinary feeling.
Now Lin Yi's curiosity about the Celestial Clan has reached an unprecedented level.
Is there really no connection at all between this mysterious and powerful clan and Earth's Hua Country?
Lin Yi chuckled lightly.
Then he shifted his gaze from the text to the Eight Trigrams pattern in the center of the stone gate.
Though Lin Yi had little research on this, he couldn't forget the powerful internet:
"The Eight Trigrams Array includes eight gates: Rest, Life, Injury, Obstruction, Scene, Death, Surprise, Open. From 'Life Gate' at due east, through 'Rest Gate' to the southwest, kill, and re-enter from 'Open Gate' at due north, this array can be broken."
Based on the information from the internet, Lin Yi began adjusting the positions of the trigrams on the seal, comparing them to the current shape of the Eight Trigrams.
Tanzawa Yixiong was utterly shocked watching Lin Yi's operation, having not expected anything before, he was now completely dumbfounded!
Those are the scriptures left by the Celestial Clan, and no one has deciphered what they an until now.
Yet he understands them!
Who exactly is this Saint Master before him?
What is his relationship with the Celestial Clan?
Moreover, as he watched Lin Yi skillfully maneuvering the Eight Trigrams Array, his eyes glead brilliantly.
This is a top-tier seal reputedly unbreakable even by the main god!
This small seal made this region impervious to damage even by the full-powered strike of the celestial body back in the day.
Imagine the terror of this seal.
And the fear of the Celestial Clan who set this seal.
Could he really unlock it?
Tanzawa Yixiong harbored deep doubts:
If he truly unlocks it...
Tanzawa Yixiong seed to think of sothing, and his heart and liver couldn't help but tremble.
Just then, a 'click' sound occurred.
The stone gate that hadn't moved for thousands of years suddenly started to vibrate.
The dust and soil on the gate began falling off in chunks.
Lin Yi was so startled by this scene that he instinctively retreated.
Tanzawa Yixiong exclaid in horror:
"It opened?"
Under their watch, the sound of gears turning ca from behind the stone gate.
Just as Lin Yi thought he had unlocked the stone gate, a deep recess suddenly appeared in its center.
When this recess appeared, the stone gate gradually cald down.
Seeing there's no danger, Lin Yi approached to check:
"What's this?"
Gazing at the thumb-sized recess, Lin Yi suddenly focused his eyes:
"Could it be!"
Under Tanzawa Yixiong's puzzled glance, Lin Yi promptly pulled out the Floating Holy Ring, his identity token as the City Lord of Floating City, from his backpack.
The two were almost perfectly matched in size.
Just as Lin Yi was about to insert the Floating Holy Ring, Tanzawa Yixiong hurriedly stopped him:
"Saint Master, do you really intend to do this?"
Tanzawa Yixiong imdiately recognized the ring in Lin Yi's hand.
He was worried that once Lin Yi deposited this ring, it would be gone forever.
Not to ntion that this ring represented Lin Yi's identity as the City Lord of Floating City.
Just considering the quality of this ring as a demigod artifact reveals its preciousness.
However, Lin Yi glanced at the thumb-sized recess and chuckled lightly:
"I trust my intuition."
Without hesitation, Lin Yi placed the ring inside.
The instant the ring entered, the recess suddenly blasted a blinding white light.
The next mont, the sound of gears turning emanated again from behind the stone gate.
As the stone gate fully opened:
"Hua~"
A wave of scorching heat surged forward instantly.
Lin Yi instinctively wanted to defend.
Yet, as he lowered his head, he saw Tanzawa Yixiong protecting him:
"Rest assured, Saint Master, as long as I'm here, no one can harm you."
Lin Yi was astonished as he looked at the figure standing in front of him.
In that mont, Lin Yi sensed that the City Lord's attitude towards him had drastically changed from before.
Could it be because he unlocked the seal?
While Lin Yi pondered, the scorching heat gradually dissipated.
With safety confird, Tanzawa Yixiong cleared the way.
Lin Yi looked beyond the stone gate, observing a gigantic platform with a woman in red, seeming pitiful, kneeling in its center.
"It's not the Eight-Clawed Fire Python?"
Lin Yi was stunned and exclaid:
"What the heck is this!"
