Chapter 1989: 23: An Unprecedented Star Annihilation Dharma Assembly, On-the-Spot Recruitment!

If not biased, one could simply refer to him as a ’Daoist friend’.The term ’Dharma Assembly Host’ is quite unfamiliar; typically, it is not a friendly inquiry but rather a [debate].

It signifies his intention to challenge, or even criticize, Zhao Xing’s principles!

At that moment, everyone inside and outside the venue became invigorated.

Zhu Haichao, too, is the Minister of Agriculture who has made inroads into the Nine Classics Pavilion; he himself is at Lord Peak level, well-traveled and experienced.

Zhao Xing is still young, at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm; can he handle it?

"Please speak, Daoist friend." Zhao Xing remained composed, motioning for the other to speak.

Zhu Haichao said coldly, "You claim that the shifting of stars is due to the chaos of Six Qi, causing the collapse of Yin and Yang. You falsely assert that the fate of Yin Yang Stars is predetermined. Dare I ask the Dharma Assembly host, by what method do you determine the change in the Six Qi? And how do you explain the differences between the spiritual and desolate domains?"

Zhu Haichao’s tone was unfriendly, and his questions were sharp.

The reason for this is primarily because, in Zhao Xing’s "Annihilation Star Six Qi Theory," many celestial phenomena appeared, yet when providing examples, they leaned either towards the Earth Advantage Sect or the Self Sect.

Indeed, there is no superpower in the Heavenly Time Sect, but that doesn’t mean Zhao Xing can look down on them.

Therefore, Zhu Haichao came with a strong offensive, directly targeting the core of the problem.

Since you claim that the issue of star shifting in the Annihilation Star Corridor is caused by the change in Six Qi, can you explain what method you use to interpret this phenomenon? And how do you use the change in Six Qi to explain the changes in the Spiritual Energy Territory and the Desolate Domain?

Zhao Xing’s expression remained calm. He knew that Zhu Haichao’s questions were crucial; any slight carelessness in his answer, and the other would immediately seize the weak points for attack.

After contemplating for a moment, Zhao Xing calmly clasped his hands: "I will answer the Daoist friend’s second question first."

"In the universe, the Six Qi cycle follows the Great Four Seasons’ Five Elements Law; when Qi is weak, it becomes desolate, with Yin and Yang not manifesting and the Five Elements not born; when Qi gathers, it becomes spiritual, with Yin and Yang harmonizing and the Five Elements abruptly arising."

Zhao Xing first set the stage for his answer because discussing this outside of the Cosmic Four Seasons theory and Five Elements Dao theory can easily create loopholes.

"The Yin Yang Stars in the Spiritual Domain generate the Five Elements, and when Qi gathers, the Five Elements Boundary Stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are born!"

"Once the Innate Five Elements Stars are formed, if there is extra capacity, the Grand Celestial Stars are born."

"The movement of heaven has a regularity; the Grand Celestial Stars take the Yin Yang Stars as the axis, determining the four seasons and eight nodes. The earth’s Qi rises and falls, responding to celestial phenomena. The Yin Yang qi must follow the star trajectory for continuous life generation."

Zhao Xing implies that the Yin Yang Stars system within the Spiritual Energy Territory is stable, and at the very least, it should be accompanied by the five Boundary Stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

If the Yin Yang qi prospers, more Grand Celestial Stars will be birthed, but they won’t disrupt the star paths of the Five Elements Boundary Stars.

Zhu Haichao’s eyes shifted.

Zhao Xing used the Heavenly Time Sect’s Yin Yang Five Elements Dao to explain the formation and operation of celestial bodies.

This aligned with the Heavenly Time Sect’s Yin Yang Five Elements principle.

As long as it’s a stable, habitable spiritual energy star domain, it must adhere to this principle; too weak or too prosperous cannot be considered a habitable and stable spiritual energy star domain.

While he was pondering, Zhao Xing continued.

"A cycle of six thousand Boundary Star years constitutes a Solar Year, six Solar Years make a cycle, three hundred and sixty years make a great fortune, and three thousand six hundred years make a Grand Circulation."

"Using the Solar Year to align the four seasons with the Five Elements star fortune, it is called the ’Great Heavenly Time Season Star Fortune’; the year’s Heavenly Time follows the five-step season fortune, starting with the Jupiter fortune season, followed by the Mars fortune season, Saturn fortune season, Venus fortune season, and ending with the Mercury fortune season."

"The Great Four Seasons and Five Elements stars revolve around the Yin and Yang, each step taking seventy-three Boundary Star years and five months."

"The cycle repeats, the Grand Circulation doesn’t cease, until the Yang Star’s vein dries up; then the Six Qi, isolated in Yin, doesn’t last, and everything collapses—this is when the star fortune fates are determined!"

"And in the Desolate Domain, weak Qi inevitably leads to changes in the Five Elements stars, with the Mercury fortune season aging first, the Five Elements gradually reversing back to Yin and Yang, similarly disrupting the original Qi fate."

Listening to Zhao Xing, a flicker of surprise flashed in Zhu Haichao’s eyes.

Because Zhao Xing’s theory had been supplemented by now and had changed significantly from what it was one hundred and thirty-five years ago.

His heart power constantly calculated, and soon he concluded: assuming Zhao Xing’s words were true, upon shifting the Seven Stars of Yin Yang Five Elements in the standard model, indeed the water elemental star is the first to fall towards the Sun Star.

Even if one deliberately disrupts the sequence, intentionally moving the original position of Mercury into a cheaper spot, as long as the Yin Yang Five Elements star model isn’t violently destroyed, it will eventually return to its original position over time.

The extreme environment of the Annihilation Star Corridor also adapts to this theory.

"How can someone progress so significantly?" A thought surged in Zhu Haichao’s mind, as 135 years ago, Zhao Xing released his initial theory before retreating into closed-door meditation, which was quite rudimentary.

Zhu Haichao could easily refute Zhao Xing’s absurd words, but now he felt pressured.

It vaguely seemed that this Dharma Assembly might not be as simple as he had thought.

More surprised than Zhu Haichao was Jiang Tiansu on an asteroid at the outskirts of the Debating Platform.

Because Zhao Xing’s Magic Theory borrowed from his "Zimu Zhoutian Lun"!

[The movement of heaven has a regularity; the Grand Celestial Stars take Ziwu as the axis, determining the four seasons and eight nodes. The earth’s Qi rises and falls, responding to celestial phenomena. The Yin Yang qi must follow the star trajectory for continuous life generation.]

This is the original text of Zimu Zhoutian Lun.

Zhao Xing simply altered two words, changing Ziwu to Yin Yang.

By altering these two words, the meaning changed entirely.

Jiang Tiansu also believed that the Grand Celestial Star path was predetermined, with a constant rule-defining line influencing the stars’ movement.

His Magic Theory emphasized the unyielding nature of celestial bodies’ operating laws, using the Zimu Zhoutian Lun to elucidate the Annihilation Star Corridor phenomenon proved intractable.
