Bai Mo reincarnated into the Full-Time Mage world, awakening the Space element at the start. He originally just wanted to dabble and enjoy life.
But he never expected his talent in dimensiona...
Chapter 395: Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, Northwest Action
Since the Bagua diagram cannot be repaired for the time being, is there a possibility for me to practice other diagrams first?
To put it simply, this secret method of the diagram is an extremely advanced magic skill application module.
Although the four directions of the Bagua diagram need to have Kan, Li, Gen and Dui, which are the relative forces of water, fire, earth and marsh.
But that was in ancient times, when the Bagua diagram was created.
Bai Mo could feel that the Eight Trigrams did not have to follow the elements or images symbolized by each trigram.
Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui, in the traditional sense, are heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and marsh.
The Eight Trigrams correspond to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols correspond to the east, west, south, and north. Coincidentally, the Eight Trigrams also correspond to the directions.
Bai Mo was not planning to repair just one picture. Since all four pictures of One Yuan, Two Yin and Yang, Four Images and Eight Trigrams were of his liking, why wouldn't he take all of them?
The four pictures are inherently interdependent.
He has a good and big appetite.
Thinking in his mind, he already had an idea. He thought of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and Qi Men Dun Jia.
You can ignore the rest. There is no such thing as finding dragons and dividing gold in the magical world.
He can definitely create a nine-square diagram that suits him. There are already so many theories from previous generations.
Others can't do it because they don't have the ability. After all, even for forbidden spells, there are only five types.
With this in mind, he had already begun to arrange the order of galaxies in his spiritual world, using his mental power as ink arrays or forbidden spells to connect the various independent magic systems.
Magic originates from the wizard's soul. People will not feel helpless in controlling their own hands and feet, and the same is true here.
At the same time, the crystal-clear and jet-black paint on the four walls exuded a faint scent, as if helping him promote his evolutionary ideas.
In the empty spiritual world, only eight different colored magic systems are bright. Bai Mo's consciousness is like a god gazing down from an infinite height.
First, define the four directions and match the Eight Trigrams with the Nine Palaces. The Kan Palace is in the north and represents water.
He does not have the water system, but he can use the two partial palaces, Gen Palace and Gan Palace in the northeast and northwest, to determine the north.
Then there is the Li Palace, which represents fire and governs the south, and the Zhen Palace, which is located in the east and represents thunder.
Finally, Dui Palace is the west, symbolizing a marsh. Water and soil combine to form a marsh. For the sake of orientation, Gen Palace is also soil, located in the northeast.
So Bai Mo first used the chaos system instead, changing the order to deceive the direction.
Then there are other off-center directions. The northeast Gen Palace is earth-related, while the northwest Gan Palace and the southwest Kun Palace are worth considering.
The two words "Qian" and "Kun" have too many meanings, but generally speaking they refer to heaven and earth, yin and yang.
Bai Mo arranged the space system in the Qian Palace and the summoning in the Kun Palace.
Both of them have the concept of time and space. One travels within the world, and the other communicates between two dimensions. They can be said to be the yin and yang sides of time and space.
Then the wind system is arranged in the southeast Xun Palace, which is regular.
There is also a sound system that has nowhere to go in the Eight Trigrams, so it is located in the center, connecting all directions. At the same time, the sound system and divine light construct a unified diagram in the center.
When the last step was taken, Bai Mo only felt a shock in the sea of spirit, and the eight magic systems seemed to have produced a special linkage.
At the same time, this feeling of "forming a whole" made him feel that his transformation back to the origin had become completely automated.
Opening his eyes, Bai Mo stepped forward with his left foot, and a sound wave with a psychedelic glow spread out in all directions. At the same time, a Bagua diagram spread out in all directions where his toes moved.
A feeling of being in control of everything arose spontaneously, and a hint of surprise appeared in Bai Mo's eyes.
As he thought, this feeling was similar to when he activated the divine presence in the northwest and all magic systems merged into one.
You know, even if the similarity is one in ten thousand, the power it brings is enormous, which can be said to be a normal explosion mode.
There are no side effects yet.
From then on, as long as the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram was opened, he would be the king of the diagram.
Bai Mo clicked his lips, feeling his magic power being consumed quickly, and the Bagua diagram that was somewhat out of control after covering the entire secret realm, so he quickly canceled it.
Without real Kan water as the position of the North Palace, the Bagua diagram cannot be expanded too large, otherwise it will be unbalanced.
The position of each palace in the Nine Palaces can be imagined as a node of a formation. Now that the northern node has no formation eye to suppress it, it is like a road suddenly missing a section.
In order to drive over there, the car has to perform fast driving skills, which leads to the poor energy transmission.
In the secret realm, many people who were originally doing their own things all looked up at the sky in shock.
In the secret realm, there was originally a gray sky, but now beautiful magical lines extended out, forming a pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams.
The eight directions and eight palaces are opposite to the four directions and four symbols. The sky in the central palace is hazy and chaotic, with faint shadows of one yuan and two yin and yang.
In the eight directions, purple, red, blue, gold, silver, white, and moonlight, the ever-changing light seemed to completely extend and cover the entire secret realm. Pieces of various thin lights like clouds fell, which was extremely magical!
At the same time, after the light enveloped everyone, a huge repressive force suddenly descended upon everyone. Some people with low cultivation even felt that their minor magic skills were suppressed.
So they stared at the sky with eyes wide open in horror. You know, the one who can come here is at least a high-level magician.
Even many old wizards like Xiang Xuewu, who already held important positions, were horrified.
They knew more than those young people and knew that this suppression was essentially a mental suppression, which was why they were even more shocked.
There are not many methods of cultivating spiritual power in this world, so the strength of a wizard's spiritual power is generally determined by how long he lives.
They had seen it before. The person who went in was a young man.
This young man actually unfolded the map and suppressed them all. Although it did not reach the level of sealing the magic system, it was still surprising enough.
When the light of the diagram converged and disappeared, some people came back to their senses, and when they thought of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams just now, they couldn't help but wonder:
"What is that picture? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Isn't it just the Bagua diagram?"
"No, and what do you mean by no? The last person who cultivated the Bagua diagram was senior Zhuge Kongming more than a thousand years ago!!"
"Oh my god, it's actually a Bagua diagram!!!"
The person who hadn't reacted at first, reacted instantly.
Xiang Xuewu, who was reminiscing with his old friend, was also dumbfounded. This was a bit exaggerated.
Someone actually learned the Bagua diagram?
But then he thought again about the rumors about Bai Mo, and in an instant he was not so surprised.
It seems that besides him, there is only one other person who could possibly complete the Bagua diagram.
"I say, Old Xiang, what kind of immortal did you bring this time?" said an old professor from the Imperial Capital Academy.
"This is a serious matter. Will the Hanging Temple be under his management from now on?" said an honorary superior of the Forbidden City.
Bai Mo stepped to the top of the mountain, looked down, and saw a group of people looking up.
Each of their looks was filled with shock and wonder.
He walked to Xiang Xuewu's side and said, "Dean Xiang, I have learned the secret method. If everything is fine, I will leave first."
"Of course you can. No one will stop you from leaving."
Xiang Xuewu nodded, feeling both sighing and lamenting in his heart, but he did not say that he wanted to go together.
"I still have some old friends to meet here, so I won't be returning with you, young friend."
"Okay, see you next time."
Bai Mo nodded, greeted some people who were still staring at him, and left the secret realm immediately.
Back in the outside world, he was keenly aware that something was wrong with the time.
It seemed that he had just experienced an illusion, read some information, and then accepted an inheritance. It didn't seem to take much time.
In fact, it did take a few days, but I couldn’t feel it in the secret realm.
After returning to the temple outside, Bai Mo found Lingling and the other two in the South Tower. He did not stay here for long. He called out to the Wind Spirit, which turned into a Flying Luan and carried them to the northwest.
The Northwest Fortress City had returned to the hands of the Western Military Mages a month ago. In a month, this former Northwest heavy formation came back to life again.
It is still under semi-militarized management, with well-trained military mages wearing desert camouflage standing on the city walls.
But more military mages are still constantly constructing buildings, high-rise buildings, bridges and roads, world security formations, and more residential buildings.
Correspondingly, the original military buildings in the city are constantly decreasing and disappearing, the militarized areas are shrinking, and the non-militarized areas are expanding.
"The sand monsters in the west, especially the dust storm grasshoppers that have been blocking our way west and north, have disappeared. Therefore, this place is no longer a fortress city. It will become the first economic city in the northwest."
Nan Jue sat on a chair in the teahouse, lowered her head and said to Bai Mo and his group:
“This major development operation is about to start, and in fact needs to start quickly.”
"What do you mean?"
Seeing her serious expression, Bai Mo couldn't help asking. Lingling also turned her attention at this moment, although she had also done some research.
However, she was not so powerful as to get first-hand information about military mages.
"Although a large part of the sand monsters disappeared due to the Yuntian Desert, and a large area of land was vacated, the sand monsters disappeared, and the monsters in the Tianshan Mountains in the north began to expand.
In the south, the demons in the Kunlun Mountains and the Bayankala Mountains are also beginning to stir!"
Nan Jue's eyes were heavy, because no matter whether it was the demons from Tianshan or Kunlun, even if they were just affiliated, as long as they had any connection with Kunlun's territory, they could not be ignored.
Even compared to dealing with the dust storm grasshopper, the difficulty will not be reduced at all.
"We can't wait any longer. We need to occupy some excellent areas as soon as possible. We also need to occupy a piece of advantageous terrain as the base for the next fortress city and as a new front against the demons!"
Hearing this, Lingling nodded suddenly and looked at the western development plan in her hand.
"No wonder your Northwest government has such a strong support for social recruitment and welfare measures. They even promised to build a city together and become city councilors. It turns out that there is not much time."
"Well, this time we have to fight quickly and decisively, before the Tianshan demons and the demons around Kunlun make any moves, we have to take over this large vacant area in the northwest.
The military magic division's main force will have to stop the demons near the two mountains, and most of the operations in the rear areas can only request social assistance. "
Nan Jue said this, pointing to a few points on the map spread out on the table.
One is Turpan, which is close to the Tianshan Mountains, and the other is the holy mountain of fire elements where the dust storm grasshoppers completed their transformation, named Daxishan.
The other one is Lop Nur, a thousand-mile desert located west of the Daxishan Mountains and on the west bank of the Shawang River.
"These three places are the focus. Turpan is a relatively humid place in the northwest, suitable for living and farming. According to our future plans, this will be a key city in the future, and the fortress city will become its subsidiary."
Nan Jue knew that Bai Mo came to her to find out something.
She was also very grateful to Bai Mo for giving her the complete secret method that the Nan family's ancestors had not yet obtained, and for explaining the secret of the family emblem.
Therefore, even though she was in a teahouse this time, the tea beside her had already gone cold, but she still kept talking:
"As you know, Daxishan is the Holy Land of Fire Element. To the east is a yellow sand mine, which is a resource-rich area. If nothing unexpected happens, this place will develop into the capital of Fire Element."
Nan Jue pointed at the location of Daxi Mountain and glanced at Bai Mo, hinting at something.
This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.
An agricultural city is not important to a magical family.
However, resource-based cities are different. Any magician force is eager to settle down here.
Bai Mo just smiled at this, he also came here, he didn't believe that the Northwest government had no ideas about this elemental holy land.
“The Lop Nur area is the front line. We need to build a new fortress city here, relying on the Shaqu River to establish a defense that runs through the north and south of Xinzhou.
There are many monsters in Lop Nur, such as the pseudo-monsters that surround the Shaqu River.
After outlining the remaining known monsters in Lop Nur, Nan Jue picked up the teacup and gulped it down.
She sighed, glanced at Bai Mo and the other two who seemed to be thinking about something, and then said:
"That's all I know. Do you have any questions?"
Bai Mo's eyes swept across Turpan and Daxishan on the map.
It did not stay on the land planned for these two rear cities, but landed on the Lop Nur front on the other side of the Shaqu River.
There are also demons on these two planned lands, and they also need to be cleared.
But Bai Mo knew that they were just some flies.
The most difficult nemesis, the Dust Storm Grasshopper, has been eliminated, and the other scattered monsters can be dealt with by the Northwest Army Mage with just a wave of his hand.
However, it would be difficult for Bai Mo to achieve his desired goal by making a fuss in these two areas.
With the construction of a city that may become the capital of the element of fire in the future, Bai Mo feels that the feeling of playing Skylines is coming back.
First, conquer the territory and obtain the qualification of "mayor".
After all, the Northwestern authorities have already launched relevant benefits for sharing and building the city, and it would be somewhat disrespectful not to seize them.
And if you can master certain words and resources here, you basically won't have to worry about supplying elemental seeds to the totem egg for your fire system.
So, if you want to get such a big piece of cake, of course you have to do something.
For example, kill all the pseudo-monsters west of the Shaqu River. The presence of these things in the ground makes it unsuitable for building a front-line fortress.
The other monsters in Lop Nur cannot be spared either.
In short, it would be best to settle down this large area that is like a "bed".
Thinking of this, Bai Mo turned his gaze to the Shaqu River again.
The entire Shaqu River has terrible gravity. Desert demons generally have the innate ability to walk on sand, allowing them to walk on the surface of the sand without sinking into it, even with gravity.
However, humans cannot do this if they cannot solve the gravity problem.
The Shaqu River is a dangerous natural barrier for human mages. If the military really wants to build a fortress west of the Shaqu River, they must consider the issue of the Shaqu River.
Otherwise, supply will be a big hassle.
"Do you have a solution to the gravity problem of the Shaqu River?"
Thinking of this, he immediately asked.
Nan Jue shook her head. "A team of military staff and researchers have already started studying the problem. These problems can be solved step by step."
"That's true." Bai Mo nodded slightly and glanced at Lingling.
Lingling glanced at the development plan report and asked, "How is the transfer of merit calculated?"
"According to the mission and the comparison level of the mission location, anyone can take the mission. Whoever completes the handover with our military magician will be credited with the merit."
"Oh, that's no problem."
Hearing this, Lingling nodded in understanding. She liked this method, and the same was true for the relevant tasks in the Hunter Alliance.
Lingling displayed a page of the Merit Exchange Table and pointed to a line on the densely packed exchange list and said:
"Hehe, have you guys been planning to have Bai Mo come for a long time?"
Hearing this, Bai Mo and the other two were a little confused. Nan Jue glanced at the line she pointed at, paused for a moment, then understood what she meant and said with a smile:
"It is said that the military chief added it temporarily, but I don't know if it is true or not."
The conversation between the two was confusing. Zhao Manyan, who was closer, leaned over to take a look at the place Lingling was pointing.
"8546. Jingling. A-level merit can be exchanged"
After reading a line of words, Zhao Manyan scratched his head, while Bai Mo, who was sitting with Mu Nujiao, had his eyes wide open.
He couldn't bear to hear any words related to the Seven Southern Stars now.
"Is this Jing Ling true? And what is the character of the Western Army Chief?"
I've been searching for him for a long time, Bai Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he wanted to confirm it.
“I don’t know either.” Nan Jue shook her head. She would not say anything about such an important figure even behind his back.
In fact, after becoming a sound mage, she stopped talking bad about others behind their backs.
"Whether it is or not, you will know when you have made achievements."
Lingling said, checking the time.
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon now. The development plan will officially begin at eight o'clock tomorrow. You need to go to the Military Mage Mission Building to pick up the mission. Once you complete the mission and gain merit, we will know the situation tomorrow."
Zhao Manyan sighed repeatedly, and read the merit exchange list again and again, saying as he read:
"Luckily I followed you here, there are quite a lot of things that can be exchanged for merits.
The territories or resource exploitation rights needed by the aristocratic families, the training resources needed by ordinary mage hunter organizations, and even soul seeds!
Oh my god, you guys took out something as important as the Fountainhead quota! ? But how great is the S-level merit? "
“They are all in the tallest row in the Martyrs Cemetery.” Nan Jue sneered and said.
"Well"
Zhao Manyan choked and put the form down. He didn't want to see his father so early.
"Come on, let's go walk around the city and get familiar with where the military's mission building is."
Now that the situation was understood, Bai Mo immediately stood up and said.
The group walked out of the teahouse and along the road that was still emitting some magical fluctuations, they soon arrived at a low-key square hall.
There are quite a few people gathered here, obviously they are all here to check out the place.
Suddenly, the noisy crowd in front suddenly parted, and a team of mages in white uniforms stepped out.
In the middle of this group of mages was a man with ice-blue hair and well-dressed clothes.
He was about thirty years old, with a rigid appearance, prominent cheekbones, and eyes that held endless arrogance and indifference, as if he was not a human being from this world, and was full of contempt for the people around him.
"Mu Shi's people!" Zhao Manyan narrowed his eyes and recognized the origins of this group of people.
Bai Mo nodded slightly, and at this moment, a group of people walked out from the main entrance of the mission hall.
The whole team was dressed in red, but it didn't look tacky. The scarlet uniforms made them look solemn and dignified, which was out of tune with the people around them.
The young man in the lead, who had a gloomy look and a handsome face, spotted the showy Mu family member at first sight and immediately sneered:
"Mu Feiluan, is there no one left in your Mu family? Why did you send you here? There is no place in the northwest where you can interfere!"
"You have no right to shout in front of me, and your ancestors have no right to tell us anything. It's up to me whether you can intervene or not."
Mu Feiluan paused, glanced at Zu Xiangtian with her cold and arrogant eyes, and continued walking without caring. Only a faint voice was left behind, which made Zu Xiangtian's face turn pale.
"Damn it! The inland is our ancestral territory!"
Zu Xiangtian spoke sternly but did not say anything else.
He knew that it would only bring humiliation upon himself, because Mu Feiluan's status in the Mu family was higher than that of his ancestor Xiangtian in the Zu family.
"The Mu family and the Zu family are here. Bai Mo, you want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, but it's a bit difficult."
Zhao Manyan crossed his arms and made some comments when he saw the show was over.
"You got one thing wrong."
"What's up?"
"I am the tiger, and the food here is what I hunted. Now I am just sharing some soup with the rest of you."
Zhao Manyan silently gave a thumbs up and took out a feed bag from his storage ring.
"Give!"
Bai Mo waved his hand and left with his group. He also wanted to contact Bai Zangfeng and Bai Hongfei to mobilize the Bai family's strength.
With this movement, a pair of gloomy eyes not far away immediately narrowed and let out a heavy nasal sound.
Without his instructions, a subordinate dressed as a hunter had quietly followed.
"Zang Feng has become a military commander. If you need to take over from the Western Military Mage, you can contact him first."
Bai Hongfei stood beside Bai Mo and said,
“This time, the family that came with me included a hundred mid-level mages, two high-level mages to assist, and some logistical support personnel.
I have arranged for them all to stay in the hotel. Brother, do we have a target? Are these people enough? "
"The goal is to get the right to participate in the construction of a city. Wait for me to notify you tomorrow. Bring your people and follow me."
