773 The Steps of Yu
“Country Lord, where are you? What is this place? It’s so dark! My eyes can’t see anything. This place is so strange.” Wushuang Ghost was also in the dark world, and he couldn’t see anything too.
He observed carefully and listened with his ears, but he still couldn’t see or hear anything. Even Wushuang Ghost felt an invisible pressure from it. This kind of suppression was very terrifying. After a long time, it was enough to completely crush one’s mind.
“Interesting. It seems like I’m in the mysterious space connected to the eyes of the Jingjue Queen. This place is dark and empty. I wonder where this space exists. Are that pair of eyes can only open the passage to this place, or is this space itself within her eyes? If that’s the case, I’ll have to reevaluate the strength of the queen.”
Jiang Ni furrowed his brows and scanned the darkness before he closed his eyes.
Sometimes, the eyes might lie, but one’s perception would not. To a certain extent, it would become clearer. As a Feng Shui master, the first element was to not panic when encountering anything. One must not panic, as it was easy to make mistakes, and one mistake could lead to eternal damnation.
Jiang Ni didn’t choose to stay still either. He also walked forward in the darkness.
He didn’t care about direction, darkness, or light. Every step he took seemed to be firm and powerful.
“Impressive. She can easily send me into this mysterious space. Her eyes are truly extraordinary. It should be a special eye that was spawned with an innate eye technique. Furthermore, the grade has already transformed. The magical power they contained must be not low. They should have reached the mythical level. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been sent into this space so easily.”
Li Xiang looked around and couldn’t help but think to himself. He was quickly thinking of a way to get out of this predicament.
He didn’t know what kind of special eye technique the Void Ghost Eye was, but he had personally experienced how terrifying it was.
No matter how powerful the eye technique was, it was absolutely impossible to draw him into it if the grade was not enough.
The innate Yin Yang Eye that he had recently acquired through his comprehension of the Yin and Yang Laws was not to be trifled with. With his powerful foundation, all kinds of Yin and Yang skills had also evolved to Mythical grades, and they were terrifyingly powerful. Even if he didn’t use it, he wasn’t someone that anyone could offend.
Therefore, he was sure that Jingjue Queen Void Ghost Eyes must be innate. Furthermore, the ghost eye’s source was strong and had already evolved to a Mythical grade.
“I want… this darkness… can’t cover my eyes anymore!”
Li Xiang said with a sneer. The black and white divine light in his eyes was alternating, and his innate Yin Yang Eyes were operating naturally. The darkness in front of him turned black and white in his eyes.
The Yin Yang Eyes had the ability to see through the essence of heaven and earth.
There was an invisible force in the darkness that blocked his vision, making it impossible for any living creature in the darkness to see the slightest light. However, it was still easily penetrated by the innate Yin Yang Eyes. The darkness here was not pure darkness. Under the Yin Yang Eyes, anything hidden in the darkness could be easily seen through.
Looking closely, he found the location was a void space.
There was nothing but darkness and dead silence. He was standing in the void, and there was nothing around him. He couldn’t tell time and space apart, which was extremely strange, but he could already see Jiang Ni and the others.
They were nearby.
Song Yuqing was running wildly around a small area, but she was only running in circles. No matter how she ran, she was still within the area. She was shouting, but she could not make a sound.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would eventually die if she continued to run.
What was even stranger was that there was no heaven and earth vitality in this space. In other words, once one’s magical power was exhausted, it would be extremely difficult to recover. One might even become weaker and weaker, and the final result would be death.
Wushuang Ghost was swinging his chains around, lashing them into the darkness. He was on high alert, but he stood quietly where he was, not daring to make any moves.
Jiang Ni was the strangest of them all. He was using extremely strange footwork, and every step he took seemed to contain a profound trajectory.
Li Xiang saw Jiang Ni leaving a clear footprint behind him with every step he took. These footprints flickered with divine light and seemed to contain a mysterious charm. When these footprints were connected, they could form a mysterious array. His aura was increasing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
It wasn’t a sudden increase in cultivation, but an aura that emanated from the convergence of the great momentum of the world.
As he took the last step, all the momentum gathered into his body, and his entire body turned into a stream of starlight in an instant. A scarlet monkey appeared behind him from the starlight. The monkey waved its claws in the void and naturally tore open the darkness, revealing a crack. In the blink of an eye, it stepped into it and disappeared.
“Steps of Yu!” Li Xiang’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
He had an impression of the footwork that Jiang Ni had just used. It wasn’t ordinary footwork, but one of the top footwork in the Taoist called the Steps of Yu.
The Steps of Yu referred to footwork that Taoist priests often used in their prayers to the gods. It was said that it was created by Xia Yu, so it was called Steps of Yu. The footwork followed the position of the Big Dipper. It was as if he was stepping on the Star of War, also known as “step on the steps.”
The Steps of Yu were said to have 72 kinds. The commonly used ones were the Push-grinding Gu, the Eight-word Gu, the Kneeling Gu, the Circling Hall Gu, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Gu, the Heaven Gate Altar Gu, the Nine-province Stomp Gu, the Cross Gu, the Ding Gu, the Five-step Ghost-worshiping Gu.
The outline of the steps started from three steps and nine traces, which were called the Steps of Yu. The technique was first from the left, with one horizontal step, one forward and one back, one Yin and one Yang. The beginning and the end were synchronized, and the feet were placed horizontally and straight. They inherited each other like the word ‘Ding’, so it was like the meeting of Yin and Yang, obtaining the mysteries of heaven and earth. Ever since Xia Yu created the Steps of Yu, the later generations had derived a hundred ways and used the similarities to create the Steps of Yu with different functions. They all had their wonderful uses.
If he wasn’t wrong, what Jiang Ni used was the most famous Step of Yu, called the Big Dipper Seven Stars Gu. It was also mixed with the Heaven Gate Altar Gu, and the two fused to form a magical step. He used the Big Dipper dynamics to condense the power of the Big Dipper and used the Heaven Gate Altar dynamics to condense a stargate. He then took a step forward as if he had entered the stargate, forcefully shuttling himself out of this mysterious space.
The wondrous methods were truly shocking.
“That’s not an ordinary Step of Yu. As expected, no Feng Shui master is simple. He has many trump cards. I haven’t seen him make a move along the way. It turns out the first move he made is the Steps of Yu. He used the steps to escape the mysterious space. A Fengshui Master can borrow the power of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers to do what others can’t do. They could block an army of thousands by themselves. By connecting the steps with heaven and earth, it’s naturally extremely powerful.”
