The clones of Wujie and Xiangyan were managing the Grass Hidden Village. Although some problems occasionally arose, overall, they could still maintain order.
In any case, Grass Hidden Village wouldn't exist for too long in their plan. As long as they could hold out until the start of the two's Super 'B' Plan, it was enough.
After nightfall, Wujie and Xiangyan avoided everyone's sight, quietly left the village, and entered a not-so-distant, hidden valley, beginning the next preparations for their plan.
The Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques largely employed the principles of the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams. And these Eight Trigrams of the Five Elements were actually derived from observing the laws of the universe's operation. They represented the fundamental rules of the world's operation, and precisely because the Uzumaki Clan applied these principles to their sealing techniques, their sealing techniques surpassed others by so much. Because what they explored were the rules of this world!
The sealing techniques used on Wujie and Xiangyan's bodies were derived from Minato's 'Later Heaven Eight Trigrams.' The scope of the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams was wider. Besides Yin and Yang, it also incorporated the changes of the Four Symbols and Five Elements. Simply put, it had more functions, like a Swiss Army knife.
In terms of sealing, it was an Eight Trigrams Seal formed by two opposing Four Symbols Seals nested together. It could extract the Tailed Beasts' chakra and transform it into the Jinchuriki's own power. But the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams also had a drawback: to add extra functions, efficiency had to be sacrificed. Minato's Eight Trigrams Seal aimed to extract the Tailed Beasts' power and inject it into the Jinchuriki even when they were unwilling.
However, the current situation of Wujie and Xiangyan did not apply to this point, because both of them had already gained the Tailed Beasts' consent to borrow their power to a certain extent. Therefore, the functions brought by Minato's Eight Trigrams Seal were wasted. So, what they needed to do now was to re-seal, transforming Minato's Later Heaven Eight Trigrams into the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams!
The Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams were created much earlier, and precisely because of their ancient nature, they didn't have as many functions, and were closer to the essence. The only thing they evolved was just 'Yin and Yang'.
In the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams, everything in the world existed in opposition in a 'Yin and Yang' state, such as Heaven and Earth, Mountain and Lake, Thunder and Wind, Water and Fire. Of course, there were many other 'Yin and Yang', like Wujie and Xiangyan; they were, male and female. And precisely because it was single-function, its efficiency was extremely high.
Wujie and Xiangyan were currently at the bottom of the valley. After completing all preparations, the two sat cross-legged facing each other, dozens of meters apart.
The Eye of Indra on Wujie's forehead slowly opened, and black light instantly radiated. A large runic array quickly formed beneath the two figures. In just a moment, a huge black and white Tai Chi diagram array was formed. The positions where Wujie and Xiangyan sat were precisely on the Yin-Yang eyes of the Tai Chi diagram.
The Yin-Yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram are divided into black and white.
White is Yang, female is Yin. Xiangyan is positioned above it, representing Yin-Yang opposition. Black is Yang, male is Yang. Wujie is positioned above it, representing Yin-Yang opposition. This is the beginning.
Tai Chi generates two opposing forces, two forces generate four phenomena, four phenomena generate eight trigrams.
In the process of the Four Symbols evolving into Eight Trigrams, the Eight Trigrams were not formed by combining two Four Symbols, but directly constituted a complete whole.
The Yin-Yang eyes connected the seals of the two. Then, the Eight Trigrams Seals on their abdomens began to tremble!
A moment later, with a crackling sound, the two's Eight Trigrams Seals shattered simultaneously!
One-Tail Shukaku and Nine-Tails Kurama instantly broke free!
The two Tailed Beasts stood in the center of the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams formation, looking around dumbfounded, not yet knowing what had happened. However, Kurama immediately snapped back to its senses. It immediately rushed outwards, but with a thump, it crashed into the barrier of the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams and was bounced back.
Shukaku wasn't as impulsive as Kurama. It might also be because of Kurama's reaction, but it calmly looked at Wujie and asked, "What kind of ghost are you playing?"
Wujie chuckled, "It's just changing to a more suitable sealing method. Rest assured, the conditions will only be better than before."
Kurama glanced at the Eight Trigrams Seal and roughly judged that it and Shukaku couldn't get out. It then looked at Wujie and asked, "Hehe, then why didn't you tell us?"
Wujie's lips curved slightly, "This is... because I can't become a perfect Jinchuriki for now. However, even if we can't truly open our hearts to each other, we can still become... a pretty good partnership, don't you agree, comrade?"
Shukaku hugged its paws to its chest, shook its head, "You really are a hateful little brat."
Kurama chuckled, "Although it's better than deception, little brat, you've left a bad impression on this old man."
Wujie's lips curled. Just as he was about to say something teasing—
—Xiangyan spoke at this moment, "Big Brother Wujie, what they want is your apology."
Wujie suddenly froze upon hearing this, then sank into silence. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Both of you, I'm sorry. This isn't just an apology for my distrust in you, but also for not realizing that I owed you an apology. I'm sorry, I was too arrogant."
Upon hearing Wujie's words, Shukaku and Kurama's expressions softened slightly.
Shukaku also let out a laugh at this moment, "Haha, after being with you for so long, this is the first time I've heard you say 'I'm sorry'."
Kurama also let out a laugh, "Then he really is a hateful fellow."
Wujie also laughed, he also thought he was quite hateful.
Xiangyan also laughed, because Wujie laughed.
A moment later, Wujie looked at Xiangyan, nodded at her, then both clasped their hands in front of their bodies at the same time. Wujie also said at this moment, "It's too late to explain now, anyway, I will extract a small portion of your power, as for the rest, please look forward to it."
As his words fell, the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams formation immediately radiated a brilliance that seemed to pierce the sky. However, this brilliance was concealed by methods they had set up in advance.
Wujie loudly declared at this moment, "Seal! Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams Seal! One is the end of numbers! Nine is the end of numbers! Great beginning has an end! Crush Heaven and Earth!"
Zero is nothingness, one is the beginning, nine is the end. Aside from nothingness, all numbers are included between one and nine. At this moment, the powers of One-Tail and Nine-Tails were instantly extracted in part. Then, One-Tail sank as 'beginning,' and Nine-Tails rose as 'end.'
Next, the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams utilized the characteristics of 'Yin and Yang,' and with 'beginning' and 'end' representing One-Tail and Nine-Tails, they constructed 'Heaven and Earth' within the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams' internal space, encompassing everything!
At the same time, Wujie continued to declare, "Odd numbers are Yang, so nine is Yang! Kurama's attribute is Yin, so it is Yin! Yin and Yang combine to produce the Five Elements, and the Five Elements form the basis of all creation!"
Inside the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams, everything was composed of Yin and Yang. One is Yang, Shukaku is Yin. The two combine to reconstruct Yin and Yang. Nine is Yang, Kurama is Yin. The two combine to construct Yin and Yang, just like Shukaku also constructed Yin and Yang.
The 'Yin and Yang' represented by Shukaku and Kurama were infused into the formation. Under the already formed 'Heaven and Earth' situation, the two's Yin and Yang evolved into the Five Elements, and the Five Elements were the most basic elements for constructing everything in the world!
The powers of Shukaku and Kurama were instantly decomposed into the five creative elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth by the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams, and infused into the sealing space of the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams, to evolve all things.
At this moment, Shukaku and Kurama instantly felt as if they had fused with the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams below them, as if this seal had become a part of them...
No, it should be said that they had become a part of this seal! And within the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams Seal, a faint vitality even emanated. This was precisely the Five Creation Elements evolved from 'Yin and Yang'!
At this point, the construction of the Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams Seal had reached its final step.
Wujie and Xiangyan quickly formed complex hand seals. A moment later, the two Yin-Yang fish, one black and one white, representing Wujie and Xiangyan, began to rotate and fuse with each other, finally constructing a pathway between the two.
The huge Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams formation was also gradually shrinking, eventually turning into nothingness.
At the same time, two Earlier Heaven Eight Trigrams seals also appeared on the two's lower abdomens! Everything looked as if there were no differences from before.
But in reality, everything had changed. Wujie and Xiangyan's spiritual bodies once again entered the sealing space.
At this moment, both Tailed Beasts gathered together. When they gathered before, that large space was essentially formed by connecting Wujie's and Xiangyan's sealing spaces together. In essence, they were still two different seals.
It was like two different rooms. In the middle, a 'wall' would appear at the intersection of the desert and the forest, separating them. If one wanted to go to the other's room, one could only pass through a 'door', and one also had to pass through the other's consent to open this 'door'.
But now, the rule was different. The entire space had completely merged into one. There was no longer any gap between the desert and the forest, as if the real world had undergone a natural evolution. Shukaku and Kurama could also walk anywhere without restriction at will.
What Wujie did was equivalent to reconstructing a room twice as large as the two previous rooms combined. This room depended on the existence of Wujie and Xiangyan, becoming something they jointly owned. This also meant that they could simultaneously use the power of all Tailed Beasts inside this sealing space, which also means that Xiangyan could use the power of the One-Tail, and Wujie...
...can also enter the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!
