C31 Each of Them Had Their Own Opportunities(1)
At this moment, within the expanse of the Martial Arts Stars, Hanyu Xiaoxin sat cross-legged. Above his head, a Star of Martial Arts emanated strands of cold air, spinning ceaselessly. Imperceptibly, it was shrinking, bit by bit, merging gradually with Hanyu Xiaoxin!
"Cold Spirit Palm, a three-star martial arts technique. Grandpa, watch and see, I won't disappoint you!" Perhaps Hanyu Xiaoxin's aptitude and fortune were truly exceptional. Shortly after his arrival, he discovered a cultivation technique well-suited for him.
"Haha, 'White Rainbow Penetrating the Sun' movement technique! My speed will one day outmatch everyone else's! Yes, this technique will serve as the foundational cornerstone for my future renown, Hanyu Huamao." Despite his overbearing and arrogant demeanor, Hanyu Huamao's swift acquisition of a four-star martial arts technique was a testament to his remarkable martial arts talent.
Of course, if Hanyu Xiaotian were present, he might secretly scoff at Hanyu Huamao's dumb luck in stumbling upon a top-tier martial arts movement technique.

"King Kong King Body, a martial arts technique of four-and-a-half stars. Hmph, once I've mastered it, who will be able to stand against me, Hanyu Xiongba? I will surely lead the Hanyu Family's younger generation to glory!"
The King Kong King Body originated from one of the five great divine skills of Shaolin Buddhism, the Diamond Indestructible Body. Legend has it that those who practice this skill appear as if clad in golden armor, impervious to all external attacks, save for those from masters whose power greatly exceeds their own. With mountain-like strength and no need for internal energy, they could remain invincible solely through their formidable physical power, hence the name. Upon transformation, the practitioner's body turns golden yellow, embodying the true essence of a diamond body. After successive generations of martial arts grandmasters refined and enhanced it, the technique evolved into the formidable King Kong King Body, surpassing even the original in might.
Although the King Kong King Body is rated as a four-and-a-half-star martial arts technique, its difficulty in cultivation is the only thing keeping it from being classified as a five-star technique. Hanyu Xiongba's first-time fusion with a technique comparable to five-star martial arts would incite envy among others privy to the Scripture Pavilion's secrets. In present-day China, five-star martial arts are exceedingly rare, with four-star techniques being the pinnacle. Not every prominent member of the Hanyu Family has the privilege of training in such elite martial arts.

"Weimen and Zhou Yi Gossip, this is fantastic! I've been fretting over how to avoid cultivating ancient martial arts, and now they can't fault me. Once I've merged with these two techniques, I'll head straight out. Hmph." A girl spoke, her face alight with joy.
Weimen is a renowned ancient Chinese divination text and stands as the foremost of the three great secret treasures: Weimen, Liuren, and Taiyi. It represents the pinnacle of logical methodology, essentially a higher form of astronomical physics, revealing the influences of the eight planets and Earth's magnetic field.
"Qi" signifies the three odd numbers: Yi, Bing, and Ding, while "Men" represents the eight gates: Opening, Resting, Life, Harm, Blocking, View, Death, and Shock. Weimen refers to the six Jia stem's entry into the six Yi, namely Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. Also known as Weimen, Weimen Dun, and Dunjia, its predictive accuracy is highly esteemed, as the ancient adage attests: Master Weimen, and there's no need for questions.
The Zhou Yi Gossip, also known as the I Ching Eight Trigrams, is believed to be rooted in the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang. The principle states, "From the limitless emerges the limit; from the limit arises the Supreme Ultimate (Tai Chi). The Supreme Ultimate generates the Two Principles (Yin and Yang), which in turn give rise to the Four Symbols (Lesser Yang, Greater Yang, Lesser Yin, and Greater Yin). These Four Symbols evolve into the Eight Trigrams, and from these come the sixty-four hexagrams." This system is attributed to Fu Xi and is also referred to as the Primordial Eight Trigrams.
The practical application of the Zhou Yi Gossip varies greatly, depending on the depth of an individual's understanding of its meanings. Those who have mastered it are often seen as wise sages and heroic figures, endowed with the ability to comprehend the mysteries of the universe. For millennia, the structure of the Eight Trigrams has remained as unalterable as the axioms of mathematics. Interpretations and understandings of the Eight Trigrams have varied across different eras and schools of thought. Despite ongoing intrigue, the origin of the Eight Trigrams remains an enigma, with no one able to provide a scientifically substantiated account of its complete genesis.
