Born as an ant, I was summoned to ascend to immortality.

Chapter 88 Meridian Qi Hand Seal

The water at the bottom of the pool surged violently, and a chill enveloped the body.

Yangyang stood not far from Zhou Li, her lips moving a few times, but she ultimately didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.

"Nonsense." Situ Qian uttered two words in a low voice, revealing a hint of anxiety. This Xuan Yin Water was heavier than a thousand pounds, and he didn't know how much longer he could hold on.

Zhou Li seemed oblivious to the discussions behind him; the trajectories of Yin and Yang energies in his eyes were fully projected into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Yin is the foundation, Yang is the application; Yin represents stillness, while Yang represents movement. The two intertwine to form a peculiar structure, much like…

"Grinding millstone".

This is something the Situ family has never been able to decipher for thousands of years. They only managed to comprehend the method of meridian circulation in the "Midnight-Noon Eclipse Heavenly Secret" from the Yin-Yang Scroll and learned how to use the Xuan Yin Qi to cultivate, but they have never been able to comprehend the corresponding supernatural power, because the supernatural power is not on the stone tablet, but in the water.

The inscriptions, which are half a day and half a month old, can only be revealed when water flows over them and light and shadow appear in the pool, thus revealing the true trajectory of the Yin and Yang energies.

Thinking of this, the meridian pathway of the "Midnight Eclipse Technique" that Zhou Li had just comprehended began to operate spontaneously and uncontrollably within his body.

A wisp of pure yang energy rose from the dantian, extending along the meridians. The numerous acupoints along the path suddenly glowed with silver light, and several streams of mysterious yin energy merged with this energy.

Almost instinctively, Zhou Li slowly raised his hands and began to try forming hand seals.

He stopped looking at the stone tablet and slowly closed his eyes. The true meaning of the Yin-Yang spiral had already been imprinted in his mind. What he needed to do now was to let this true meaning flow from his fingertips.

This process is not easy. Ordinary cultivation methods usually have complete hand seals and incantations, and cultivators can simply follow the steps to practice. However, the true meaning in the Yin-Yang Scroll is too complex, containing the fusion of Yin and Yang and the changes of the Five Elements.

In the sea of ​​consciousness of Zhou Li, the seeds of Tao begin to shine with clear light, purifying the mind and calming away distracting thoughts.

At this moment, in the dim light of the pool, everyone felt that Zhou Li was emanating a strange "aura".

His hands were constantly clasped together, and his body sometimes displayed overwhelming divine might, and sometimes burst forth with the radiance of the moon.

The hand seals became increasingly complex as he progressed, and as he formed one ancient and profound hand seal after another, a visible vortex of energy gradually condensed between his hands.

After nine cycles of transformation, the vortex suddenly transformed into two yin-yang fish, one end to the other, in black and white, slowly swimming in the palm of the hand.

The moment the yin-yang symbol took shape, the churning water in the surrounding pool suddenly stopped.

Situ Wentian's fingertips trembled slightly. He had been practicing the "Midnight-Noon Eclipse Technique" for hundreds of years, and his perception of Yin and Yang was far more acute than that of others. At this moment, he clearly felt the profound mystery contained in the rudimentary hand seal between Zhou Li's hands.

The moment the hand seals stabilized, Zhou Li suddenly opened his eyes, and the water-elemental spiritual energy in his dantian surged wildly into his palms.

Everyone saw that the seal, which was based on the Yin and Yang energies, changed with the water element spiritual energy. He activated it with the water element, and the seal evolved into the "Yin-Yang Gui Water Phase".

Without hesitation, Zhou Li slowly slapped his palm upwards.

But even this slow palm strike caused a dramatic change in the surrounding pool water.

The immense spiritual pressure blasted upwards through the water-repelling shield. Under the pressure of this spiritual pressure, the dark pool water spontaneously spun and swelled, forming a straight passage that extended upwards from the bottom of the pool, passing through layers of water curtains, and reaching the top of the cave.

The Yin and Yang energies swirled wildly in the passageway, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy and feeding back into the Dharma Seal.

The passageway widened, expanding from just a few feet to several feet, as if an invisible giant sword had pierced through the bottom of the pool, creating a hole in the entire Sunken Boat Pool.

A powerful aura surged from the bottom of the pool, soaring into the sky along the path carved out by the yin and yang energies.

Situ Wentian trembled violently.

"This is," the old man's voice trembled so much he could barely speak, "this is..."

Situ Qian supported the patriarch's arm. He had cultivated for decades and considered himself knowledgeable, but at this moment he only felt his mouth was dry and he couldn't utter a single word.

The passage remained open for about ten breaths, then began to slowly close, and the water that had been drained from the pool rushed back from all directions, restoring the deep and silent state of the bottom of Chenyan Pool.

The magic seal vanished from Zhou Li's fingertips. His body swayed twice, his face was pale, his breath was weak, and he couldn't squeeze out even a trace of spiritual power.

But there was a clear and bright quality in his eyes. He slowly turned around, a smile playing on his lips, and uttered four words softly.

"I have successfully completed my mission."

Those Situ family elites who had previously spoken out against him looked at Zhou Li in disbelief. At this moment, Zhou Li was like a god in their eyes.

Situ Wentian rose from the wooden sedan chair, overwhelmed with emotion: "Heaven has taken pity on my Situ clan, which has been incomplete for ten thousand years, and today it is finally complete! Young friend Zhou, would you be willing to name this divine power?"

Zhou Li rubbed his sore wrists, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "This seal is based on the Yin and Yang energies of the 'Midnight-Noon Eclipse Technique,' so let's call it the 'Midnight-Noon Two-Energy Hand Seal.'"

"The Meridian and Noon Qi Hand Seal... Good, good, good!" Situ Wentian repeatedly chewed on these words, saying "good" three times in a row, and then burst into laughter.

Yangyang stepped forward, supporting the swaying Zhou Li, and scolded, "You made such a commotion, you scared me to death!"

Zhou Lichong smiled and said frankly without being coy, "This method is profound, and I cannot fully comprehend it in a short time. I will now pass on the true meaning of the supernatural power to you two seniors so that you can study it together."

Having said that, he raised his right hand, pointed with his fingers, and transferred the true meaning of the millstone in his sea of ​​consciousness, as well as the various changes in the hand seals, into the consciousness of Situ Wentian and Situ Qian.

Zhou Li continued, "This supernatural power is based on Yin and Yang, and manifests as the Five Elements. Different spiritual attributes will exhibit different characteristics when used. Just now, I activated it with the power of the Water element, which manifested as the Gui Water aspect, possessing the wonder of overcoming the hard with the soft and transforming the original state."

Situ Qian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened them, his face showing surprise: "If the power of the wood element is used, it will be the form of Yi wood, which has the ability to destroy and decay, and cause life to wither."

After saying that, he gasped and exclaimed in horror, "Yin and Yang are the foundation, and the Five Elements are the elements... this..."

He was also a Golden Core cultivator who had practiced for many years, so he naturally understood what this meant.

Ordinary supernatural abilities are predetermined from birth and can never be changed. But this hand seal is different. It is not a fixed technique, but like a Daoist skeleton. When the five elements of spiritual power are filled into it, it is like flesh and blood being reshaped, and it can take on completely different forms.

Such profound mystery transcends the realm of Earthly Rank.

This is... the Heavenly Ranks.

These two words almost subconsciously jumped out of my mind. Only a Heavenly Rank Divine Power could be so unrestrained by any form, encompassing the opportunities of all laws and forming its own way of creation and evolution.

Situ Wentian took a deep breath and, disregarding his status as the head of the family, bowed deeply to Zhou Li. He did not speak, but the weight of this bow was more than a thousand words.

Situ Qian and Situ Yangyang remained silent as they watched the old man rise, turn to face the stone tablet inscribed with the Yin-Yang Scroll, and remain silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Situ Wentian finally spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "Three elders, please escort the clan members to leave first."

Upon hearing this, Situ Qian looked at the head of the family with a blank expression.
