Chapter 272: The Complete Mathematical Classic

Ba Shan Ji Jiu hurled him towards the entrance of the Six Harmonies Hall, then turned and strode away, clearly fearing that Qin Mu would continue to badger him into joining the Heavenly Saint Cult.

Qin Mu, feeling somewhat peeved, muttered, "Sooner or later, I'll get you to join!"

The Six Harmonies Hall's head of studies was the Venerable Master Hong Fa, a figure of great virtue and high repute. She was a practitioner of the Buddhist path and had been teaching and nurturing scholars at the Grand Scholar Hall since its inception.

Qin Mu stepped into the Six Harmonies Hall. It was still early, and no scholars had yet arrived for the lecture. However, the venerable master was already within, meticulously sweeping the hall until it was spotless.

When the bell finally chimed and the scholars filed in, Venerable Master Hong Fa began her lecture, speaking unhurriedly. "The Six Harmonies, which Six Harmonies? Heaven, Earth, and the Four Directions – these constitute the Six Harmonies. The Six Harmonies Divine Treasury resides within our bodies. To break through its wall, one must first ascertain the precise location of this wall. How does one determine this? Through calculation. Yesterday, I instructed you all to review the Six Harmonies Algorithm. Did you do so?"

Qin Mu blinked, glancing around the hall. There were quite a number of scholars present, over thirty in total, including Shen Wan Yun, Yue Qing Hong, Si Yun Xiang, and others.

Then, he spotted Ban Gong Cuo.

Ban Gong Cuo wasn't listening to the lecture; instead, his eyes were closed, and he was attempting to impact and break through the wall of his own divine treasury.

Venerable Master Hong Fa's speech was somewhat slow. "Standing on flat ground, it is easy to determine East, South, West, North, Up, and Down. But within the human body, how do we determine the heaven, earth, and the four directions? We use the Spirit Fetus Divine Treasury to determine Up and Down. The crown of the Spirit Fetus's head represents heaven, and its feet the earth. Once Up and Down are determined, we must then ascertain East, South, West, and North. This requires the position of the Five Yao stars within the Five Yao Divine Treasury."

"You have all studied the Ten Books of the Classic of Calculation, which are used to determine the Five Yao stars. To then project East, South, West, and North within the heaven and earth of the mind, you need the Six Harmonies Algorithm. We now turn to the seventeenth page of the Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation, the Zi Wu Return South Algorithm."

Qin Mu looked around, East and West. Suddenly, someone behind him poked his head with a finger. Qin Mu turned to find Si Yun Xiang, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Saint Cult. With white teeth biting her red lip, she whispered, "Last night, I saw the Cult Master drag three girls back to his room."

"Where have you seen such a thing?" Qin Mu denied it adamantly.

Si Yun Xiang lowered her voice. "One of them was the Seventh Princess."

Qin Mu's face flushed. "Holy Maiden, do not slander me and ruin my pure reputation. Lend me your Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation. This is my first time here, and I have no book."

"This classroom is a sacred place. How can you whisper?"

Venerable Master Hong Fa struck the table and declared, "You two, go outside and stand in the corner!"

Si Yun Xiang grabbed her Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation and walked out of the hall with Qin Mu. The two leaned against the wall. Si Yun Xiang handed him the classic, a smile playing on her lips. "Cult Master is greedy for beauty. Be careful you don't end up like Cult Master Li."

Qin Mu opened the classic, seeing numerous formulas listed. These were algorithms extended from the Ten Books of the Classic of Calculation, used to calculate the precise positions of East, South, West, and North based on the calculated positions of the Five Yao stars.

Venerable Master Hong Fa was lecturing on the seventeenth page's Zi Wu Return South Algorithm, which could determine South. Once South was determined, East, West, and North could all be established. Then, by drawing a straight line from Up to Down, the most accurate position of the Six Harmonies wall within the human body could be determined.

Each person was unique; therefore, the concrete positions of the Five Yao Divine Treasury varied in each individual. Since the Five Yao Divine Treasury was the foundation for determining the Six Harmonies Divine Treasury, the position of the Six Harmonies Divine Treasury also differed slightly from person to person. This required precise calculation; there could be no error.

Before long, Qin Mu had read through the Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation once. The classic used the Five Elements Five Advance system and the Six Harmonies Six Advance system. It required converting the Five Advance system, used for calculating the Five Yao stars, to the Six Advance system before performing the calculation.

Qin Mu was startled, suddenly thinking of the Grand Demon King Du Tian's instructions.

The Grand Demon King Du Tian had once said that the Eight Advance system in the Tai Xuan Classic of Calculation could be calculated using the Eight Trigrams as a tool. Qin Mu had then suddenly realized and comprehended the other calculation tools within the Tai Xuan Classic of Calculation. The Tai Ji Eight Trigrams Diagram included the Yin Yang Two Advance system, the Four Phases Four Advance system, and the Eight Trigrams Eight Advance system.

However, if the Five Elements Five Advance system and the Six Harmonies Six Advance system were added, the calculation tool would become much more complex.

"National Master Yan Kang said that the Four Great Spirit Bodies are not the Five Elements, but each kind of spirit body includes the Five Elements. That is to say, the Four Great Spirit Bodies – Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise – are the Four Phases in the Tai Ji Eight Trigrams Diagram!"

Qin Mu suddenly felt a sense of profound clarity. The Four Phases, each phase containing the Five Elements, and the Five Elements arranged and combined differently to form the phases!

In other words, the operation of the Five Elements Five Advance system could calculate the changes of the Four Phases. This then provided a calculation tool for the five advance operation of the Four Phases.

And for the Six Harmonies, the Four Phases could be used to determine East, South, West, and North, while Yin Yang determined Up and Down. With this, a tool for calculating the Six Harmonies was available.

"Then, that is to say, I will soon be able to calculate the exact position of the Six Harmonies Divine Treasury's barrier!"

Qin Mu returned the Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation to Si Yun Xiang, then stretched out his hands. Pressing his right palm onto his left, he pulled them apart Up and Down. His vital energy threads suddenly formed a strange Tai Ji pattern, encompassing Yin Yang, the Four Phases, and within the Four Phases, the Five Elements.

Qin Mu, full of interest, pulled his hands apart again. Layer after layer of Tai Ji Five Elements patterns split open, each operating in an orderly fashion.

Si Yun Xiang gazed in surprise at the constantly changing patterns in front of him, quickly saying, "How are you operating this? It's somewhat different from what Venerable Master Hong Fa taught! Quickly, let me copy it!"

Qin Mu operated swiftly, his mind divided in two as he explained his comprehension to her.

Si Yun Xiang's eyes grew brighter and brighter. She, too, possessed exceptional talent and quickly grasped the wonder within. She praised, "This method is good. The method in the Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation is too cumbersome. It would take one or two months to calculate the result, and it's easy to make mistakes. Using your method will be absolutely correct, and it will take at most one or two hours!"

Qin Mu chuckled. "Tai Ji, Four Phases, Five Elements, Six Harmonies, Eight Trigrams, originally, they are just calculation tools, used for operating."

Looking at the Tai Xuan Classic of Calculation now, he felt that various difficult problems were easily resolved, and his heart was very comfortable. However, to refine the divine abilities to be transmitted, relying solely on one book of the Tai Xuan Classic of Calculation was probably not enough.

Venerable Master Hong Fa was still lecturing inside the hall. Time passed slowly. Finally, Qin Mu was the first to determine the location of his own Six Harmonies Divine Treasury. It was located at a certain point within the Dan Tian, bearing heaven and connecting to the ground.

The Dan Tian was also called the Lower Dan Tian. The location of the Six Harmonies was called Huang Ting by those of the Daoist gate. The Middle Dan Tian was the heart chamber, called Jiang Gong. The Upper Dan Tian was at the center of the eyebrows, called Ling Tai by the Daoist gate and Fang Cun Mountain by the Buddhist gate.

Qin Mu determined the location of his Jiang Gong and immediately gathered all his vital energy, surging towards the determined Six Harmonies wall!

Qin Mu's cultivation was already exceptionally thick, far exceeding his peers of the same age. This time, gathering all his vital energy, he impacted with a single breath, and the Six Harmonies wall was suddenly cracked by his force.

Within his body, there was a booming sound like the roar of vast ocean waves. Qin Mu gathered his vital energy for a second impact, and the sound of the waves grew louder, like angry waves crashing against the shore, huge waves slapping the clouds. The sound grew louder and fiercer each time, and Qin Mu's vital energy impact also grew fiercer each time!

With a "Hua la," his Six Harmonies wall suddenly broke, and a large gap appeared.

Qin Mu continued to gather his vital energy, rushing towards the remaining wall, making the gap larger and larger.

Inside the Six Harmonies Hall, Venerable Master Hong Fa and the crowd of scholars also heard the sound of vital energy impacting from Qin Mu's body, and each showed a surprised expression.

"Grand Academician!"

Venerable Master Hong Fa quickly walked out and said, "If you do not calculate the precise location of the Six Harmonies wall and rashly break through, people will die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud "hong long" sound suddenly came from within Qin Mu's body, like the splitting of heaven and earth, and Qin Mu's cultivation rapidly advanced!

The Six Harmonies wall was broken!

The Six Harmonies Divine Treasury was opened!

Just at this moment, a booming sound also came from within the Six Harmonies Hall. It was Ban Gong Cuo's Six Harmonies Divine Treasury also smoothly opening. Just now, all the scholars in the Six Harmonies Hall and Venerable Master Hong Fa's attention had been drawn to Qin Mu, and no one had noticed him cultivating alone.

Ban Gong Cuo's aura also grew thicker and thicker. His gaze flashed, and he rose from his meditation mat and looked towards the outside of the hall.

Venerable Master Hong Fa was stunned, then quickly said, "Grand Academician, close all the divine treasuries within your body, and then try to open them with a single breath!"

Qin Mu took a long breath, closing his Spirit Fetus Divine Treasury, Five Yao Divine Treasury, and Six Harmonies Divine Treasury. After that, he let out a low shout, and sounds of "hong long" came from the three locations of Ling Tai, Jiang Gong, and Huang Ting, a total of three sounds. The three great divine treasuries opened, and Qin Mu's aura violently surged!

"He really opened the Six Harmonies Divine Treasury!"

Venerable Master Hong Fa exclaimed, looking at Si Yun Xiang on the side, only to see Si Yun Xiang also trying to impact the Six Harmonies wall, obviously also having found the precise location of the Six Harmonies wall.

She had driven these two whispering young man and young woman out of the hall, yet she had not expected that in such a short time, the two of them would successively find the location of the Six Harmonies wall. One of them even succeeded in breaking through the wall in one go, becoming a divine ability practitioner in the Six Harmonies realm!

Venerable Master Hong Fa put her palms together and said, "Cult Master Qin... Grand Academician, it seems you have a secret method to calculate the location of the Six Harmonies wall, which is faster than this poor nun's Six Harmonies Classic of Calculation. I wonder if you would be willing to share it."

Qin Mu chuckled and said, "Master, you are too polite. My ability is low, and I dare not show off in front of everyone. However, I do have some comprehension, and I am willing to exchange a thing or two with Master and the various scholars."

Venerable Master Hong Fa was overjoyed and quickly invited him into the hall, saying to the various scholars, "Today, I invite Grand Academician to teach you all a lesson. Grand Academician, please!"

Qin Mu looked at Ban Gong Cuo at the back of the hall and said with a smile, "Prince Ban Gong Cuo outside the hall has also broken through the Six Harmonies wall and become a divine ability practitioner. It is said that the timing and the location are favorable, and the realm is the same. Why don't we have a match?"

Ban Gong Cuo shook his head. "I am a barbarian from outside the frontier, I dare not show off. Cult Master Qin, please."

Qin Mu smiled slightly. "Seeking knowledge? Just right, I have a set of knife techniques here, passed down from the Heaven Knife. Do you want to learn this set of knife techniques?"

Ban Gong Cuo's eyebrows lifted, and his gaze fell on Qin Mu. Innumerable ghostly cries and divine howls suddenly sounded beside Qin Mu's ears!
