Chapter 872: Chapter 42: Natural Disaster Warning, Emergency Mission, and the Headache of the Bright Moon Prefecture Master!
"We ask for Marquis Yuan Rang’s forgiveness for our previous rudeness."
Zhou Cheng, Hu Yang, and Guan Shanhai immediately apologized to Zhao Xing upon entering.
Zhao Xing couldn’t fathom what these three were thinking, as their realms were not low, and even by using his clone to open the Heavenly Eye, he couldn’t see through their thoughts.
Zhou Cheng and Guan Shanhai were both opponents he had noted in his little book.
Especially Zhou Cheng, who had strongly opposed him occupying resources and had criticized him for being mere reputation without substance, was the most vocal.
How come there’s such a big change now?
As for Hu Yang, Zhao Xing didn’t have an impression of him.
"I was ignorant and questioned Marquis Yuan Rang’s ability in governance at the time, speaking discourteously. I am here to admit my wrongdoing." Zhou Cheng bowed and wouldn’t rise.
"The ’Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory’, integrating the Heavenly Stems and Four Seasons, dividing the seasonal operations, using the six qi in six steps, precisely to the moment, to explain the changes in the Five Elements’ qi, is truly impressive." Guan Shanhai said.
"I also apologize to Marquis Yuan Rang for my previous arrogant words."
Hu Yang did not apologize, as he hadn’t participated in the criticism of Zhao Xing at the time, always working in the Blessed Land.
He pointed at these two and said maturely, "Marquis Yuan Rang, if you’re still upset, how about I help you give the two of them a beating?"
Seeing what he said, Zhao Xing looked at Hu Yang in surprise: "May I know your honorable name?"
"Hu Yang, styled Shaodong, Observer Justice of the Tianyuan Blessed Land."
"So, it is Mr. Hu, I apologize for my lack of respect." Zhao Xing quickly cupped his hands.
Although all wore the attire of Doctor of Governance, Hu Yang’s rank in the Blessed Land was already a third-rank official.
Like Gu Changqing of the Kunyuan Academy, he was also a Doctor of Governance, but he too was a third-rank official.
Doctors of Governance who also hold real power positions usually understand both magic and theory well.
Proficient in their faction’s spell, the magic is practiced to a high level.
The Observatory of the Blessed Land mainly monitors abnormal transformations.
In other words, he is a Minister of Agriculture of the Marquis Transformation Sect.
He is not from Tianyuan Prefecture because the Tianyuan Blessed Land is not located here.
"The two doctors may rise, past matters need not be mentioned anymore." Zhao Xing gestured, casting a spell to lift Zhou Cheng and Guan Shanhai.
Hu Yang came clearly to mediate.
Considering that this was no major issue, these two were specialized Doctors of Governance without authority, and had sincerely come to apologize, Zhao Xing overlooked it for the face of a third-rank official.
"Thank you, Marquis Yuan Rang." Zhou Cheng and Guan Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief and then rose smoothly.
They apologized not because of power, but were truly impressed by Zhao Xing’s grand theory.
"Please be seated."
"Hahaha, Marquis Yuan Rang indeed has great magnanimity and a broad mind." Hu Yang laughed.
"Mr. Hu overpraises." Zhao Xing humbled himself.
"Marquis Yuan Rang, do not be too modest." Hu Yang said, "Your Great Circulation Theory, dividing the inner and outer six qi, with major qi narrating the norm and guest qi measuring changes, Three Yin and Three Yang combined with six qi, measuring, balancing, reversing transformations; this principle has been verified in three Blessed Lands."
Hu Yang cupped his hands and said, "I came today to inform Marquis Yuan Rang that your Three Yin and Three Yang Great Cycle Theory has already been recorded by our dynasty’s devine temple, the Great Zhou’s Book Pavilion, and the Military Realm Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Oh?" Zhao Xing realized, no wonder Hu Yang traveled all the way here.
Hu Yang was not from the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch, and the Tianyuan Blessed Land was hundreds of thousands of miles away, and now during wartime, it would take at least a month to arrive.
"Originally intended to be implemented immediately nationwide, but given the special period involving secrecy, we could only choose an auspicious day again." Hu Yang said.
"I have coordinated with Dean Lu, who asked me to inquire your opinion."
Zhao Xing, with a movement in his heart, said, "I naturally have no objections, everything should prioritize the overall situation, but what exactly does this secrecy refer to..."
Hu Yang glanced at Zhou Cheng and Guan Shanhai, "The two doctors, without official positions, please excuse yourselves first."
The two were pricking up their ears, intending to listen to Zhao Xing, the founder, explain the grand theory himself, but Hu Yang asked them to leave.
With no choice, the two had to rise and take their leave: "Marquis Yuan Rang, we will take leave first and visit another day."
"Always welcome."
Seeing Zhao Xing about to rise, the two said again, "Please, Marquis Yuan Rang, do not see us off, official matters are more important."
Seeing this, Zhao Xing sat back down.
After they left, Hu Yang waved his hand, and a gentle breeze enveloped the entire hall.
Seeing the spell cast, Zhao Xing nodded inwardly, impressed by the advanced wind skill, which was not merely simple Yang Wind or Yin Wind, but involved higher-level Five Elements True Intent.
In a small space, his wind could instantly transform into fire, thunder, allowing any Five Elements switch at will, even using the wind skill to drive transformations in certain areas.
This is a master who, after mastering the [Five Elements True Intent], can influence Heaven and Earth Rules!
However, this was merely Hu Yang’s casual casting to prevent eavesdropping.
The foundation of Xuantian Academy exceeded what was imagined.
"Marquis Yuan Rang, your Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory, divides heavenly time and weather into cycles of thirty years, sixty years as one week, 360 years as one major cycle, 3,600 years as a grand circulation."
"Then, using the Five Elements Seasonal Movement, predicting major heavenly time by the abundance of Three Yin and Three Yang, with Four Seasons’ Five Elements mutually generating, each step operating for seventy-three days and five moments."
"Supplementing with the twenty-four solar terms within six qi and six steps, starting from each year’s Major Cold Day, following the sequence of mutual generation of wood, fire, earth, metal, water."
"Each step lasted sixty days and eighty-seven and a half moments, when a certain qi dictated, it would display the associated Five Elements characteristics."
