Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 2141 The Grand Bagua Mythic Series
With such an option that stood out, Lin Mu didn't know if it was worth getting anything other than this.
'On its own it might not be as usable, but perhaps with the rest of its fragments it would be the best among all…' Lin Mu thought.
And just as he did this though, a loud shout was heard.
"It can't be!" Daoist Chu exclaimed pulling the attraction of everyone. "Crown Prince Feng Shun! Crown Princess Shang! Monk Hushu! COME QUICK!" he yelled.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Of course, with such a commotion, everyone rushed there instead of just the ones that were called. Lin Mu did the same, wanting to find out what had happened.
"What is it!?" Crown Prince Feng Shun questioned his companions.
"L-Look! This Jade slip, it has the… G-Grand Bagua—" Daoist Chu hadn't even finished speaking when the Crown Prince took the jade slip from his hands.
~SHUA~
He quickly scanned the jade slip and read the contents. His expression changed rapidly, and shock was present on his face.
"We HAVE to take this!" Crown Prince Feng Shun stated firmly.
"Of course!" Daoist Chu nodded furiously.
Lin Mu who had heard the two words spoken by Daoist Chu couldn't help but furrow his words.
"Did you find another fragment of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series?" Lin Mu asked out loud.
"Another!?" Daoist Chu looked at with wide eyes.
"You found one too!?" Crown Prince asked rushing to him.
"Yes," Lin Mu replied, showing him the jade slip.
~SHUA~
Crown Prince quickly scanned the jade slip and was surprised by its contents.
"The Qian Series… it really is another undiscovered fragment!" Crown Prince exclaimed. "Qian and Dui! Both undiscovered fragments were here!" he said with great joy.
"There really are two fragments of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series here?" Crown Princess Shang who heard his confirmation couldn't help but be pleased too.
Lin mu who watched their collective excitement couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
"Do you know about the Grand Bagua Mythic Series?" Lin Mu questioned, realizing that there was more to this technique than he knew.
"Of course! This is the Grand Bagua Mythic Series we're talking about!" Crown Prince Feng Shun answered.
"It is perhaps one of the best techniques out there that is not only good, but is also compatible with various paths." Monk Hushu chimed in.
"Daoist Mu Lin, this is a great discovery. The Immortal Court has been looking for the fragments of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series for a long time. So far they've only obtained three of them." Daoist Chu revealed, making Lin Mu surprised.
"Even the Immortal Court only has three of them?" Lin Mu hadn't expected this technique to be this rare.
"Of course, it is an old technique that has a long history…" Daoist Chu said before telling Lin Mu about the history of the technique.
Apparently, the Grand Bagua Mythic Series was a comprehensive technique that was made million upon millions of years ago. It had been considered a top technique since the ancient times and in its complete form it was an all inclusive technique that not only functioned as a cultivation technique, but also had Qi skills within it too!
The technique also had the ability of allowing its user to grasp the eight Dao that were part of the Bagua. One could grasp the Sky Dao, the Earth Dao, the Lightning Dao, the Wind Dao, the Mountain Dao, the Marsh Dao, The Water Dao and The Fire Dao.
Five of the Dao's that were part of the Bagua were the elemental Dao's that many cultivators used, and as such it was useful for a lot of them. And the ones that were a bit more unusual, such as the Mountain, Marsh and Sky Dao were still not simple.
All three of them had their own strengths and were no less weaker than the other Daos.
Just like Lin Mu had guessed, the Grand Bagua Mythic Series was divided into eight series, and each of them had their own skills.
But what was special about the fragments was that there was only one skill present in them. These skills were not fixed either, and they varied depending on who had made the jades slip. For example, two jade slip containing the Li Series will have different skills depending on the creator. Thus was due to the fact that the skill that came with the series wasn't meant to be a staple skill, but rather an introductory skill that would allow the new users to learn it.
Every user of Grand Bagua Mythic Series was supposed to comprehend their own understanding of the Dao and then create their own skill. As such, there were N-number of Qi skills that were part of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series ever since its creation.
Not just that, but these Qi skills often became misplaced over time and their details were lost. Some might become so distanced that there might not be any clue left that the skill had once been part of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series.
It was even said that there were over a thousand Qi skills that had originally been sourced from some skill of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series. There were cultivators who only found that a Qi skill they had been using for thousands of years was actually part of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series only when they started to learn the technique. Of course, most that learned the technique only learned from the fragments.
From what Lin Mu learned, there hasn't been anyone that had managed to find all fragments of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series and then master them.
While the technique might be widely compatible with various cultivation paths, that didn't mean that it was simple to learn. In fact, even learning a single series was a difficult task and took a long time to do so if one wasn't compatible with them.
Among the Eight Series, the Kun, Kan, and Li series were the easiest ones to learn as they were from the five basal elements. In the Grand Bagua Mythic Series, the Zhen and Xun series were the second easiest ones to learn. But since they were still part of the Four Heavenly elements, there was some additional difficulty in learning them.
Then there was the Gen, Dui and Qian Series that were the hardest among all eight. Only those that had some affinity to them were able to learn them, or those that had great comprehension ability, were also able to grasp them with some effort.
"What Series does the Immortal Court have?" Lin Mu asked feeling curious.
"The Immortal Court has the Xun, Kan and Li series with them." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "I've been wanting to get the Xun Series for a long time, but it is hard to get it without significant merits. One cannot simply buy it." He added.
"Even the Immortal Court was unable to obtain the others? Are they that rare?" Lin Mu questioned, feeling surprise.
"Yes." The Crown Prince nodded. "The Immortal Court actually has multiple copies of the three series they've obtained. Since each copy of the Series has a different skill, they've accumulated a lot of those three, as they are the most common to find. Many cultivators find Wind, Water and fire Dao's easy to learn compared to most, so their numbers are the most abundant." He explained.
"Huh… Then why don't they have the Kun Series?" Lin Mu questioned. "The Earth Dao is also relatively easier to learn." He added.
"The Immortal Court did have the Kun Series once upon a time, but it was lost after the two people who had it died. One of them perished in a battle while the other was lost on a mission." Daoist Chu answered.
"But now… Now I can obtain it." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "One of the most straightforward ways of obtaining them is to provide them with another copy of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series." He added.
"Since we now have two entirely new series, we can get the Xun Series as well as the Kan and Li series." Daoist Chu spoke up. "With how many copies they've accumulated, they won't mind giving one each to you." He added.
"Not just me." Crown Prince Feng Shun shook his head. "All of us will get them." He said, much to their surprise.
"It was all our collective effort that we've managed to reach here. As such, the reward should be equal too." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "I believe all of you would like to have them, wouldn't you?" he said with a smile.
"Of course!" Lin Mu was not one to deny something like this.
Even if he might not be able to use them right away, he reckoned with some effort he'll eventually figure it out.
Plus, now that he knew just how valuable the Grand Bagua Mythic Series was, he would keep a lookout for them in the future.
