Chapter 214 Reversing the Stars and Reversing the Polarity
Wei Ren's injuries were so severe because he had previously abandoned his cultivation, causing a loss of power and irreparable damage to the Five Elements Light Core at that time.
The battle with Ji Shuyan in the outer city made things worse for him. Before he could recover, he encountered a group of people, led by Zhang Xiangyun and Gu Gan, who were working together to target him.
Pei Daiqing's estimate was still early; without his treatment, Wei Ren might not wake up even after another ten days or half a month.
“Without the Five Elements Light Core, he’ll be a cripple in the future.” Pei Daiqing wiped the water droplets from Shen Tianxue’s face. “He might even be devoured by the phantom beast and die.”
"Then saving him would be pointless." Shen Tianxue rolled her eyes.
"How can you calculate it like that? The fact that he's still alive is all thanks to us, so it's not like we saved him for nothing." Pei Daiqing laughed heartily. "Every day he lives, we gain more merit."
"Are you a medical saint?" Shen Tianxue looked at him with amusement.
Pei Daiqing pondered for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he was not. The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
As Shen Tianxue smiled and lowered her head, Pei Daiqing leaned over and lightly pecked her lips.
Yu Sui looked away.
Now she believes the two saints are husband and wife.
The portion of Yu Sui's soul-controlling energy did not affect his observation of the world before him.
She observed quietly for a long time without saying a word.
Wu Huaiwei did not urge him. She expected three days. Within three days, Yu Sui should be able to comprehend the laws governing the power of the world before him.
As the sun set, Yu Sui, who hadn't moved at all, covered her face and yawned. Wu Huaiwei asked her, "Do you want to rest?"
"Mmm!" Yu Sui nodded, her eyes reflecting the flowing starry sky. Because of drowsiness, her voice was a little soft as she answered, "Dean, it's starting to get hot here."
"Oh?" Wu Huaiwei stood at the highest point of the pavilion, looking down at the ground. Below, a girl sat on the edge of the green grass, her skirt embroidered with mountain birds concealing the flowers and plants on the ground.
Initially, she placed her hands on her knees, her back straight, just like the elegant young ladies from noble families that Wu Huaiwei had seen taking etiquette classes in the capital.
It wasn't until the girl spoke that he maintained his polite and composed demeanor. From the moment she pulled her hand away to prop up her head, he became charming and casual: "As the seasons change and the stars shift, life on earth goes from spring to winter, and then from winter to spring again. Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot."
"As the seasons change, the stars in the sky also change accordingly."
Yu Sui, who was propping his head up with his hand, turned to point at the flowing star clusters on the ground: "When the Big Dipper in the sky points east, the Big Dipper on the ground points north. Spring in the east and winter in the north, the upper and lower star seas are always in opposition, and other constellations also move with extreme cold and extreme heat."
As she spoke, the rapidly shifting constellations slowed down, and every star in the sky and below became clearly visible.
"When the stars in the sky point to extreme heat, the stars on the ground will point to extreme cold. When one side reaches a certain extreme, the other side will change to the opposite extreme."
Yu Sui looked at the starry sky again: "Sometimes I feel heat rising, but it is quickly extinguished by coolness. Sometimes I feel a little cold, but it warms up after a while."
These words surprised and delighted Wu Huaiwei.
She controls the direction of the "extreme" by controlling the changes of Yin and Yang energies in the universe. When she makes a move, Yu Sui will not immediately feel any obvious changes because the flow of the star sea is very fast and it is difficult for the naked eye to capture the details.
When extreme cold or heat occurs, it immediately cancels out the effect. The fact that Yu Sui could perceive this shows that he was extremely sensitive to the changes in the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth.
"Not bad, it's much faster than I expected." Wu Huaiwei narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. "The stars move in reverse, and the opposite is the polar region, which is the technique of reversing the stars and the polar regions."
Reversing the star's polarity.
Yu Sui silently recited it in her heart.
I vaguely understood what Wu Huaiwei meant.
“We all live within the cycle of the two energies of heaven and earth, at the highest and lowest points.” Wu Huaiwei’s figure flashed, appearing in front of Yu Sui from the pavilion, her blurry transparent outline revealing her true form. “Techniques are born from energy. In other words, as long as you are within the reverse star cycle, when someone casts a spell on you, you can reverse the extreme of that spell.”
The stars in the sky began to move rapidly. Wu Huaiwei reached out and grabbed the Mars star from the sea of stars on the ground, crushing it. All the stars on the ground exploded in an instant, turning into clusters of raging fire.
The scorching heat was so intense that a single breath could burn her nasal cavity and throat. The sound of sparks exploding rang in her ears, startling Yu Sui so much that she stood up from the ground.
The girl's dark pupils reflected the burning sparks, and her already feverish body felt the burning pain of her skin against the exploding ground.
This is quite rare for Yu Sui.
Since the strange fire became so hot and difficult to extinguish, very few other "fires" have been able to harm Yu Sui.
Even the "fire" from the Eight Trigrams Life Technique, or the "fire" from other schools of nine arts, could not give Yu Sui a sense of oppression.
At this moment, the fire technique created by the Yin-Yang School by mobilizing the two energies of heaven and earth made Yu Sui feel a burning pressure that he hadn't felt in a long time.
It was as if, in the next instant, flesh and bones would be burned to death by the raging fire.
Looking at the scene before her, Yu Sui suddenly recalled the inherited memories she had seen when she was chosen by the strange fire:
Countless stars fell to the ground, sparks filled the sky, and in the blink of an eye, everything in the world was engulfed by fierce flames.
Whether it's a prophecy or a scene of world destruction, it all begins with a moment when stars fall from the sky.
Meteorites bring prophecy, but also destruction.
The moment the memory flashed through my mind, the stars in the sky spun rapidly.
In the reverse stellar circulation, the extreme will reverse.
The fiery light reflected in Yu Sui's eyes disappeared in a flash of purple light. The red ribbon floating beside Wu Huaiwei emitted white smoke and cold air. She said in a leisurely tone, "When the energy of the materialization technique reaches an extreme point, another opposite extreme point will appear in the reverse star circulation. As a result, the two techniques will either cancel each other out or the extreme point of this side will overpower the other side."
As soon as Wu Huaiwei finished speaking, Yu Sui saw white frost rise on the ground and a chill rise up.
"What you see and feel now is the simplest form of reversing the stars and the poles," Wu Huaiwei said. "Most of the various schools of thought and techniques in the world are derived from the Five Elements, and the simplest and most straightforward opposites are water and fire."
Frost rose from the ground, and the sky was ablaze with starlight.
The two energies of heaven and earth are constantly colliding and neutralizing.
"The life and death of all things are controlled by the four seasons. You are right in saying that as the seasons change, the stars also change accordingly."
Wu Huaiwei snapped her fingers, the antipolarity disappeared, and the sky and ground returned to their previous state of being full of stars.
She said, "The power of the stars guides all things, and thus can better control the yin and yang energies. Therefore, the larger the starry sea, the higher the upper limit, the more stars return to their positions, and the stronger the power."
At this moment, Wu Huaiwei did not know how many stars Yu Sui had returned to their positions in the Star Sea. She wanted Yu Sui to continue observing the stars to see if he could master the art of reversing the stars and reversing the polarity.
Even just learning the simplest water-fire reversal technique is good; at least it counts as getting started.
She was delighted that someone could learn the technique she had created over a decade in a single day.
Yu Sui wasn't lying when she said she wanted to rest.
After shattering two sixth-realm light cores, she only rested for one day. That night, she rushed to the outer city because Wei Ren had been captured by Zhang Xiangyun. When she returned, she went to find Wu Huaiwei and hasn't rested since.
Although the Divine Eye accelerated the recovery of her internal body, it did not completely cure her.
Yu Sui rubbed her eyes and calmed down to observe the stars again.
She has already recognized all the starry seas flowing in the sky and on the ground in the current circulation realm. Xing Chun had said before that Wu Huaiwei's starry sea consisted of three thousand stars, and Yu Sui's starry sea is the same now.
Yu Sui has studied the Wind Listening Ruler for more than ten years. He has a solid foundation in the Yin-Yang School, the Taoist School, and the Fangji School. If he had started learning the techniques of these three schools from the beginning, his growth would have been the fastest.
Before learning to utilize the unclaimed energy within the light core, Yu Sui believed he could only cultivate the Ghost Dao.
When Yu Sui attended classes taught by these three schools in the past, she always felt a sense of familiarity and could grasp the concepts quickly. Within the world where the Wind Listening Ruler operates, she could learn it at a glance, but outside of the Wind Listening Ruler, she couldn't learn the nine arts of these three schools, which left her with some regret.
Now someone is teaching her how to use the Nine Schools of Yin-Yang, making Yu Sui feel like her dream has come true.
The stars in the sky and on the ground moved rapidly, and the girl's dark and bright eyes took them all in. With a flash of light, the three thousand stars that had returned to their positions in the Nine Provinces Star Sea also flashed.
Yu Sui looked down at the ground, where the starry sea was rotating counterclockwise. She sat down again and reached out her hand toward the ground that was shimmering with azure light.
The stars are densely packed, but the light of a single star is faint; it is the sheer number of stars that makes the starry sea on Earth appear so dazzling.
Wu Huaiwei also observed her actions from the shadows, initially unaware of what Yu Sui was planning to do.
Just as she noticed the flow of the starry sea on the ground beginning to slow down and found it interesting, suddenly the ground shone brightly.
When Yu Sui's fingertips touched the ground, it was as if they shattered a pool of clear water, and three thousand new stars appeared on the mirror-like surface, replacing the previous sea of stars.
Wu Huaiwei was very familiar with them.
A complete and beautiful spiritual chart, containing three thousand perfect stars, encompassing the power to guide the changes of all things in heaven and earth.
She actually
Wu Huaiwei's astonished eyes reflected the girl at the center of the stars. Yu Sui was focused, her fingertips rotating clockwise on the ground, and the brightly shining stars began to move according to her guidance.
The three thousand stars on the ground move slowly because they rotate clockwise, just like the stars in the sky.
According to the rule of opposing poles in the circulation boundary, the stars in the sky begin to rotate in the opposite direction.
In Wu Huaiwei's Reverse Star Circulation Realm, the two opposing star seas were split apart. The star sea in the sky belonged to her, while the star sea on the ground belonged to Yu Sui.
Because they are all three thousand stars, they are opposite each other and fit together perfectly, so there was no situation where Yu Sui's spell failed.
Wu Huaiwei suppressed her smile, becoming unusually serious as she reaffirmed whether the starry sea on the ground truly contained three thousand stars.
She just opened the Star Sea last month, and this month all three thousand stars have returned to their places?
This cultivation speed is simply progressing by leaps and bounds!
The celestial cosmos rotated rapidly, yet it still maintained the reverse star circulation technique.
Yu Sui failed to break through the Circulation Boundary. She tapped her finger on the ground, realizing that to break through the boundary, she had to make her Star Sea rotation speed keep up with Wu Huaiwei's in order to make the two poles cancel each other out.
Is it the speed at which the starry sea rotates?
Yu Sui ignited her golden protective aura and used all her power to guide the starry sea on the ground to rotate rapidly, but no matter what she did, she could not outrun the starry sea in the sky.
Until one moment, it suddenly occurred to her that a circulation zone can only be formed when the two poles are opposite each other, so what if they all move in the same direction?
Yu Sui's finger, which was pressed against the ground, suddenly turned, and the three thousand stars followed suit, turning in the same direction as the starry sea in the sky.
Although it lasted only a moment, the extremely rapid turn synchronized with the starry sky, causing the starry sky to vanish in an instant. The warm twilight light broke through the purple and gloomy world, sprinkling onto the eaves of the pavilions.
Yu Sui's five elements energy was depleted, and before she fainted, she only caught a glimpse of the crimson sunset on the horizon. Hong Ling flew to her side first and caught her before she fell, preventing her from bumping into the hard artificial rocks.
Wu Huaiwei appeared in front of Yu Sui in an instant, reached out and touched her brow, channeling the five elements into her. Although she didn't think that people with a constitution where the five elements were mutually generating would have their five elements reversed, she couldn't say for sure.
Yu Sui's thinking was correct. Wu Huaiwei did not make a move just now. If she had intervened, the Heavenly Sea of Stars would have reversed instantly. Yu Sui would not have been able to keep up with the speed of the Star Sea's rotation and would not have been able to break out of the Circulation Boundary.
However, Wu Huaiwei did not expect Yu Sui to be able to do this much.
What she had just seen had completely exceeded her expectations and even shocked her.
Wu Huaiwei looked thoughtfully at the girl who had fallen into a deep sleep in front of her.
She had discovered Yu Suichu's strength at the sixth realm the day she arrived at Yueshan, but due to what happened later, she never had the chance to ask about it.
This little girl seems to have her own way of cultivating.
Wu Huaiwei led the person back to the attic to rest and stayed there, never leaving their side.
Yu Sui's consciousness fell silent once again.
In the comforting embrace of sleep, she returns to a moment from her childhood:
On a summer night, a girl dressed in a light gauze dress sat in the pavilion in the courtyard. Although she looked quiet, she did not follow the rules and etiquette as she did during the day. Instead, she sat casually on the pavilion railing and kicked the magnolia tree next to the pavilion with her bare feet.
The palace was very quiet after nightfall.
The mute woman would arrange and manage everything so that even the chirping of insects on a summer night could not enter this space and disturb the princess's peaceful sleep.
Because of the heat, the young princess lifted her skirt above her knees, revealing her smooth calves and her bruised knees.
During the day, she has to deal with many people, adults and children, good people and bad people, people she likes and people she hates.
Some people won't listen to her properly, some won't give her a chance to speak, and some won't dare let her confide in them.
Some words can only be heard by the stars at night.
The stars in the sky twinkled.
Yu Sui then remembered that she had once told Xingxing that she wanted everyone to disappear.
Adults and children, good and bad people, those you like and those you hate, all disappeared.
The stars know her secret and will grant her wish someday in the future.
