Based on his previous experience of consuming the Eight Gates Body Pill, Jiang Yuan searched for the elusive power of the Eight Gates in the vast and boundless Sea of Fire.
He could sense the presence of the Eight Gates Body Technique, which stood in eight directions throughout the Golden Gate, representing the eight extremes of the physical body.
The door is located in the northwest Qian Palace, which belongs to the metal element.
The Qian trigram is the first of the eight trigrams, corresponding to the beginning of the Great Dao and the foundation upon which all things and all living beings began.
The Xiu Gate is located in the Kan Palace in the north, and its element is water.
When Kan water receives the nourishment of Qian metal, it displays its sharpness with a relaxed and measured approach, making it a place for rest and recuperation.
The Gate of Life is located in the Northeast (Gen Palace), belonging to the Earth element. Drawing water from the Kan (Water) and earth, it gives birth to all things. Yang energy returns, and vitality emerges. This is an extremely important gate among the three auspicious gates.
The Injury Gate is located in the Zhen Palace in the East, and its element is Wood.
The Zhen tree takes root in the soil, disaster begins at the Life Gate, and misfortune ends at the Wound Gate. The transition between the Life Gate and the Wound Gate is the first major turning point in power among the eight gates.
The universe is vast, and it's not that no one has ever practiced the Eight Gates of Body Technique, but most people stop at the fourth gate, the Injury Gate, because they cannot control their injuries to a certain extent.
Once the wound gate is opened, the physical body will suffer unimaginable pain. Even among body cultivators, how many can endure such pain, let alone fight with the wound gate open?
The Du Gate resides in the southeast Xun Palace, and its element is wood.
The Xun wood element continues the calamity trend of the Zhen wood element. Although the absence of the Zhen wood element cannot reverse the situation, it is still the gate among the eight gates that exchanges injury for combat power. It is extremely difficult to grasp, and if one is not careful, it will result in a situation where the enemy is injured by 800 while one's own is injured by 1000.
Jingmen is located in the southern Li Palace and belongs to the fire element.
Corresponding to the Rest Gate of the Kan Palace, but the Kan Water Rest Gate emphasizes rest and recuperation, while the Jing Gate Fire Gate represents the proliferation of all things, completely different from the Rest Gate, which is the scene of the generation of all things.
The "Jingmen" (惊门) is located in the western Dui position and belongs to the metal element.
The metal element in the Dui position is exceptionally malevolent, being the most powerful of the eight gates in terms of attack. The phrase "still as a virgin, startled as a rabbit" aptly describes the Jing gate.
The eighth gate, which is also the last gate, is the Gate of Death!
The Death Gate is located in the southwest Kun position, and its element is Earth.
While the Gate of Life has a similar meaning to the Gate of Death, it has a unique feature that the other seven gates cannot match: opening all eight gates will completely release the physical body.
However, a body with all eight gates open is like a wild beast. Once released, it is difficult to retract. Therefore, some people say that the Death Gate is only the beginning, but also the end.
Jiang Yuan's soul roamed in the sea of fire. He felt the call of the Eight Gates Body Technique, but before he could comprehend it, he needed to determine his own sect.
This is the Eight Gates of the physical body, not Jiang Yuan's Eight Gates. If he allows the Eight Gates physical technique to dominate his body, he will be affected whether he opens three gates or all eight gates in the future.
However, if Jiang Yuan decides on his own sect beforehand and makes it the dominant force in the Eight Gates Body Technique, then even if the Eight Gates Body Technique has heaven-defying effects, he will at least have the initiative.
He is not the same as before. If he used to recklessly pursue any cultivation technique he came across, now he thinks twice before acting. He believes that there is no reward without effort in this world, and he doesn't believe in any free lunches.
"Reincarnation Eye, lock on!"
Jiang Yuanguang couldn't see the energy flow of the Eight Gates Body Technique with the naked eye, so he used the Samsara Heavenly Eye.
The power of reincarnation was severely suppressed at the Golden Gate, but fortunately, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden finally gave up her 'unreasonable entanglement' and could carefully avoid this oppression.
"Kid, is the battlefield over?"
A familiar, yet long-unheard voice echoed within Jiang Yuan's wandering spirit.
"Huh?" Jiang Yuan was taken aback at first, and it took him a long time to realize who was speaking.
Eye of the Gods!
Since he last severed his talent from the Eye of All Heavens, the Eye of All Heavens has lost control of the Heavenly Eye. Now the Eye of All Heavens is the Eye of All Heavens, while his Samsara Heavenly Eye is just the Samsara Heavenly Eye.
"This energy feels so familiar, it's just like Ragnarok, the day that took away the gods from that battlefield!"
The Eye of All Heavens seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, his voice sometimes deep and sometimes sorrowful.
How did you end up here?
Now that the Eye of All Heavens has appeared, Jiang Yuan naturally has to pay attention to it, since the Eye of All Heavens is his guide.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's voice, the Eye of All Heavens slowly came to its senses. It shook its head and looked at Jiang Yuan, asking in return, "You brat, you still have the nerve to say that? How come my connection with you was suddenly severed! I've been searching for you all over the universe. If you hadn't entered the universe this time, who knows how long my consciousness would have drifted away!"
"It's severed!"
Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. This must be because he stripped the Heavenly Eye of its ownership. The Heavenly Eye is now exclusive to the Samsara World and has little to do with the Eye of All Heavens anymore.
"I've been through life and death several times, and my Heavenly Eye has changed somewhat during battles, so I haven't been able to contact you since then." Jiang Yuan said, half-truthfully. What he said was naturally true, because reincarnation is unavoidable, and it was only a matter of time before the Heavenly Eye evolved into the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, rather than following the old path of the Eye of All Heavens.
"never mind!"
The Eye of All Heavens, however, was quite cheerful, saying with a hint of appreciation, "It is commendable to be able to forge one's own path."
"Sky Eye, how did you find this place?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Nonsense, you're not even on the battlefield anymore, yet your aura is so powerful. Finding you is easy enough!" the Eye of All Heavens said irritably.
“Uh…” Jiang Yuan was speechless. He really didn’t want the Eye of All Heavens to see him in such a miserable state.
