Features: Decoding the peerless divine strategies of the Chinese national master. With the world at his feet, he never worried about where to cast his golden hook. He immersed himself in the art of the Bagua, laying the foundation for Eastern wisdom. Jiang Ziya opened a "Fate and Fortune Bureau" in the city of Shang, Mengdu, where he skillfully interpreted auspicious and inauspicious signs. He sought no fame or fortune, merely waiting for an opportunity to enter the court, observe the form and spirit of King Zhou of Shang, and fulfill his great mission to determine the fate of the world. Jiang Ziya's extraordinary talent to perceive all things captivated King Zhou, who kept him in the palace as the Chief of the Celestial Observatories. King Zhou, influenced by Su Daji's slander, framed the four great vassals for rebellion, and Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang was imprisoned. Jiang Ziya infiltrated the prison to teach Ji Chang the art of the Bagua. Ji Chang, with his quick wit, developed the Bagua further. Ji Chang, infused with the true essence of the Bagua, conquered King Zhou with the sound of the Bagua, and was released back to Xiqi.
The primordial chaos, resembling a colossal spherical monster, spun and moved through the vast universe. Within this spherical monster, a giant wasing, now fast asleep. With each breath, his body grew a foot taller. He had been asleep for fifteen thousand years. How immense was his body? How long was he? One day, the giant suddenly opened his ring-shaped eyes, bright as the sun and moon, yet surrounded by utter darkness. Annoyed, he stretched out his giant axe-like hand and swung it fiercely at the chaos before him. With a thunderous roar like mountains collapsing and the earth shattering, the spherical monster burst open, releasing light and clear substances that rose boundlessly, forming the vast heavens, while heavy and turbid substances sank slowly, becoming the vast earth. A thread-like connection remained between heaven and earth, like a giant vine wrapping them together. The giant, tireless and determined, swung his axe relentlessly day and night, cutting anding without rest. In this majestic and powerful manner, he finally cleared all obstacles between heaven and earth, completely separating them.
The giant accomplished the grand feat of separating heaven and earth, and his name became "Pangu," also known as "Pangu, who separated heaven and earth," leaving a legacy for all eternity.
Though heaven and earth were now separated, Pangu felt his mission unfinished. He feared they might merge again, returning to the primordial chaos. Thus, he resolved to use his own body as the pillar supporting heaven and earth. Each day, the sky rose ten feet higher, the earth thickened ten feet, and Pangu's body grew ten feet taller, without pause or rest. After another fifteen thousand years, the distance between heaven and earth became immense, and Pangu still stood firm, connecting the heavens and the earth. His body's length was said to span ninety-nine thousand miles, embodying the mystical concept of "three threes endless, six six infinite, nine nines unceasing." Pangu, this ancient figure of all ages, like a giant pillar holding up the sky, sustained heaven and earth, ensuring eternal light.
After another fifteen thousand years, heaven and earth became firmly established, and Pangu was certain they would never merge again, that darkness would never return, and that light would endure forever. At last, Pangu could sigh in relief and rest.
The moment Pangu lay down, his colossal body touched the thick and solid earth, and an earth-shattering transformation occurred. This change was truly "earth-shattering," far surpassing any later magical transformations, like a drop in the vast ocean. This was the "Pangu Divine Art," unparalleled in history.
As Pangu exhaled, his breath became the wind and clouds that filled the universe. His voice turned into thunder that shook the heavens, roaring mightily. His left eye became the sun, and his right eye became the moon, illuminating the earth day and night in brilliance. His limbs and body transformed into mountains and rivers. His blood became surging rivers and seas. His veins turned into roads, and his muscles into fertile soil.
The "Pangu Divine Art" continued to transform endlessly. His hair and beard became the stars in the sky, his skin and hair transformed into grass and trees. His teeth and bones turned into shining metals, hard stones, round pearls, and green jade. His sweat also became rain and sweet dew that nourished the world.
The higher realm of the "Pangu Divine Art" finally created a new world standing in the vast universe.
Yet, the evolution of the "Pangu Divine Art" had not ended, still astonishingly transforming and evolving. Finally, from his blood, humans were born—those with the nature of rivers and seas, (yin in nature), known to later generations as "women," named "Nüwa." From his bones and marrow, shining metals, hard stones, round pearls, and green jade combined to form another extraordinary being—those with the nature of bones and stones, (yang in nature), known to later generations as "men," named "Fuxi."
When "Nüwa" and "Fuxi" were born, the essence of the "Pangu Divine Art" underwent a sudden shift, dividing into the "Nüwa Divine Art" and the "Fuxi Divine Art."
