Chapter 143: Chapter 84: The Four Symbols Gather, the Cultivation is Complete, the Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture!_2

However, Li Guanyi’s body was not so optimistic.

The original Golden Muscle and Jade Bone, Dragon Veins, and Tiger Marrow could accommodate the tearing of the Dragon and Tiger Dharma Forms, but now, these Dharma Forms had directly doubled. The Green Bird, Red Dragon, White Tiger, and Mystic Turtle, along with the Four Symbols in their usual forms, were constantly circulating within Li Guanyi’s body.

Zu Wenyuan had no way to see the Dharma Forms.

But he could infer Li Guanyi’s condition at the moment. The old man watched Li Guanyi, who was frowning and trying to meditate, and said with a gentle voice, "Li Xiaoyou, if you can hear my words, follow the guidance of this old man to regulate your Inner Breath."

Zu Wenyuan calculated, and spoke out loud, "Among the Four Symbols, regard the dragon as the sun, and the phoenix as the moon."

"The tiger as the stars, the turtle as the hour."

"Your meridians and acupoints, as many as there are, arrange them in the most basic medical order."

"Follow my words."

"Through the sun’s ’Jia’ one, through the moon’s ’Wu’ seven."

"Through the stars’ ’Ren’ one hundred and eighty-nine, through the hour’s ’Zi’ two thousand two hundred and fifty-seven."

The elder did not practice Martial Arts, but he seemed to treat Li Guanyi’s body meridians as a kind of numerology. Li Guanyi fully understood the old man’s words, pushing the Inner Qi to circulate, allowing the four types of Dharma Forms—dragon, phoenix, tiger, turtle—to flow and change in different ways.

The words spoken by Zu Wenyuan were rapid, exactly matching the rhythm of Li Guanyi’s circulating Inner Qi.

For a full two hours, the power of the Four Symbols’ Dharma Forms incredibly achieved a balanced state within Li Guanyi’s body, unbelievably coexisting at the same time. Zu Wenyuan looked toward the lightening of the sky, put down the branch in his hand, and with countless calculated characters around him, smiled and said:

"The sun passes through the sky’s origin, the moon through the sky’s meeting, the stars through heavens’ motion, the hour through the world’s stage. By the sun through the sun, therefore, the origin of the origin can be known. By the sun through the moon, therefore, the meeting of the origin can be known. By the sun through the stars, therefore, the motion of the origin can be known. By the sun through the hour, therefore, the world of the origin can be known."

"The sun, the moon, the stars, the hour, the dragon, the phoenix, the tiger, the turtle, all follow this rotation and change. Even if the four great Dharma Forms coexist within your body, you can still control them with ease."

Li Guanyi slowly exhaled.

The power of the Four Symbols’ Dharma Forms gradually dispersed, and he opened his eyes.

Seeing Zu Wenyuan smiling in front of him, he asked, "How does it feel? Xiaoyou?"

Li Guanyi stood up, jumping noticeably higher than usual. He clenched his fist, and with the Four Symbols in his body fitting together like a ring, there was no longer any sign of violence. Then he bowed with his hands clasped and said, "Thank you, senior!" Zu Wenyuan smiled gently and said, "There is no need to thank me; I’m only speaking on behalf of what others have told me."

Li Guanyi hesitated and asked, "May I ask senior, how did you know about the Qi Mechanism within my body?"

Zu Wenyuan casually said, "I calculated it."

Li Guanyi was stunned, "Calculated?"

Zu Wenyuan laughed and explained, "Yes, the circulation of Inner Qi within the body is like rivers flowing through the land. If you understand the variations of rivers and seas and know the rise and fall of the stars in the sky, then understanding the changes in one’s Inner Qi should be as easy as lifting your hand or moving your feet, shouldn’t it?"

"However, this knowledge did not come from my own enlightenment."

"It was a senior from the Taoist Sect who told me, and because of this, I chose not to pursue Martial Arts."

"Having understood such principles too early, I was passionate in my youth and had resolved that if I were to do something, I must do it to the best. Knowing there was such a path that calculates all possibilities, how could I restrain myself? Immediately, I plunged into the study of numerology."

"I originally planned to exhaust the mysteries of numerology and thereby advance vigorously in Martial Arts."

"But when I looked back, 60 years had passed, and the prime time for Martial Arts training had long gone. However, the profundity of numerology, like the stars in the sky and the gravel in the rivers, is inexhaustible no matter what. By that time, I realized that I had been deceived by the senior."

"But upon reflection, I don’t consider my life to have been wasted. Or rather, if I had become a Martial Artist, wandering the world as a Ranger, I would certainly not be as satisfied as I am at this moment."

Siming’s expression changed slightly, asking, "Is this technique from him?"

Zu Wenyuan nodded, "Yes, it’s from a predecessor of the Taoist Sect."

He explained to Li Guanyi, "He was a once-in-a-lifetime genius of the Taoist Sect, one of the four legends considered by the Martial World. He has long since retired from the world. When I was young, I had the chance to hold an umbrella for him while it rained, and he passed on a scroll to me, instructing me for seven days. After that day, I entered the realm."

"That scroll he passed on to me, I still find it to be of endless use to this day."

"It’s the 60th of the 64 scrolls of the Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture."

Zu Wenyuan gazed at Li Guanyi, just like the Taoist Sect senior had spoken to him many years ago. He bent down slightly, the old man with white hair looked at the young man, and like back then, he suddenly understood the joy the Taoist Sect senior had felt. He softly said, "This scroll is still in Jiangzhou, Xiaoyou. If you happen to pass through Jiangzhou City, you can go there, and I will explain this scroll to you."

"Don’t worry, the senior of the Taoist Sect was carefree and unrestrained."

"Whether he kept it to himself or passed it to the undeserving, both would be scorned by him."

"Besides..."

The white-haired Zu Wenyuan blinked his eyes and smiled, "He may have already passed away."

"So don’t be concerned."

Li Guanyi leaped to his feet, clenched his fist, and with no understanding of how far he had come, he exhaled deeply and packed away the bottle of poisoned blood, wanting to understand its origin. The traces of the Formation around him had already been destroyed.

Siming tossed him the Seal, saying, "This is yours now."

"The aura belonging to Tuyuhun within it has dissipated. Consider it a token he has left for you. Over the last 300 years, Tuyuhun’s empire has dominated the Western Regions. His descendants have lost the bearing of kings and it’s just as well that they couldn’t protect it."
