Immortal Creation.

Chapter 690 Wonderful, wonderfully wonderful!

Inside the Rock Cave, Yu Heye sat in the main seat, with Ning Zhuo standing in front of him.

Although Ning Zhuo relied on many Foundation Establishment cultivators to defeat all of Yu Heye's subordinates, in Yu Heye's mind, this only proved that Ning Zhuo had a hidden force helping him.

Yu Heye's impression of Ning Zhuo was still limited to the fact that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ning Zhuo, unperturbed, took the initiative to speak, "Senior Yu, I have studied the 'Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art' and have a few questions. The first is 'Draw three-tenths of blood from the heart fire, turning the red qi into a paste.' I have never practiced this art, but just from reading it, I can deduce that if one were to circulate the technique according to this rule, one would definitely experience a rapid heartbeat and excessive blood flow. I wonder how you, Senior, manage to alleviate this problem in your daily practice?"

Ning Zhuo's understanding of the Five Elements was extremely profound, but he had not practiced the "Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art" at all, and had only studied it on paper. Therefore, even though he understood the essence of this art, he still had many doubts.

Yu Heye scoffed: "Harmonize? Harmonize what? Just extract it directly."

As he spoke, he spread his five fingers on his right hand, palm facing upward, and drew out a stream of essence blood.

The semen was dark red in color and throbbed and twisted like a living thing.

Yu Heye continued, "After the twitching, it's like a normal person holding a branding iron; it must be used up immediately, and the restlessness is impossible to suppress!"

He clenched his fist tightly, and the ball of essence blood instantly collapsed and solidified, turning into a crimson flame that covered his fist and burned fiercely.

"A rapid pulse and fast blood flow are not a hindrance, but rather a powerful factor in attacking the enemy."

"The mind must be fierce, like a wildfire spreading across the plains. Once the thought arises, the blood has already transformed into qi, burning intensely."

"Harmonize what? The slightest delay will result in your heart being burned through!"

Ning Zhuo paused for a moment before nodding slightly.

"I see. Using fierceness to control fierceness, using speed to control violence... Then, what is your interpretation of the phrase 'the liver palace contains wood essence, passing through the winding corridor and flowing into the Zhangmen point'? If you practice here, it may cause stagnation in the meridians, like vines entwining with withered wood. The more times you do it, the deeper the aftereffects will be."

Yu Heye nodded: "It is indeed sluggish."

“Look.” He bent his left arm, and the loose sleeve of his robe slipped down, revealing a deep, old scar on the inside of his arm that showed the bone and had a bluish-black, woody look.

The muscles around the scar were twisted and gnarled, exuding an eerie vitality, as if tiny roots were running under the skin.

"Did you see it?"

"This is what I leave behind every time I channel my energy through the 'Curved Corridor' pass!"

"The vital energy in the liver is domineering and unpredictable, like the gnarled roots of an old tree. Because of too many repetitions of the exercise, this point is almost completely blocked. But I have come up with a solution."

As he spoke, he pointed his fingers like knives and made several indistinct strokes near the "Zhangmen" acupoint on his left side. Wisps of blue energy rose from his fingertips, winding into a strange serpentine trajectory in the air.

"The winding corridor is like an old tree with knots, almost a dead end."

“I then followed the nature of wood, like vines climbing and flowing along its grain. When practicing, I focused my mind on the Zhangmen point, taking the acupoint as the ‘root,’ guiding the wood essence like spring vines exploring branches, with some seeping through the winding corridor and the rest going around to the sides.”

"Although it was a roundabout way and consumed a lot of vital energy, it was enough to prevent the wood energy from being completely blocked and backfiring on the liver!"

As he said this, a mixture of lingering fear and smugness flashed in his eyes.

This trick was a realization he had made in extreme pain when he was on the verge of death due to a qi deviation.

Ning Zhuo also understood.

He looked at Yu Heye in front of him, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

“The frequency of him going astray in cultivation is extremely high.”

"These tips are probably the result of too many times of going astray in cultivation, accumulating experience and summarizing from blood and tears."

"He probably knows some other tricks like this."

Such a trick is undoubtedly short-sighted.

But who can blame Yu Heye for only reaching this level of Five Elements Realm?
Ning Zhuo, with his keen insight, deduced Yu Heye's Five Elements Realm from this small trick alone.

"With his abilities, inventing these little tricks can indeed maintain his cultivation and preserve his strength at the lowest cost."

"Accumulating these little tricks can lead to qualitative changes through quantitative changes, gradually improving the 'Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art' technique."

Many cultivation techniques have been continuously improved and perfected in this way.

For a moment, Ning Zhuo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

He thought of his own "Five Elements Qi Law".

Compared to it, "Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art" is like rubble compared to a pearl.

Yu Heye cultivates the "Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art," and each cultivation session is a destruction of his own body. The higher his cultivation level, the more drawbacks and hidden dangers he accumulates.

Because its greatest strength lies in the transformation of vital energy, yet the transformation is quite crude and rudimentary. Even the mere act of circulating energy can cause harm to a cultivator's physical body.

The "Five Elements Qi Law" focuses on cultivating the middle dantian (energy center), allowing for free transformation between the five elements. Because it is confined within the energy center, the backlash from the transformation of the five elements is entirely absorbed by the energy center, essentially nonexistent.

The "Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art" is troublesome because it can convert essence and blood into magical power, but the cultivator's physical body is not spacious; on the contrary, it is dense and solid.

"The Five Elements Qi Law alone is a top-tier martial art in the world, and it is only one of the three superior methods."

"Compared to Yu Heye, I am lucky."

"Once I rescue my mother, I will definitely take control of the Lava Palace."

Of the three supreme methods Ning Zhuo obtained, only the Foundation Establishment chapter was available; the Golden Elixir chapter was still missing. He needed to seek it from the Transmission Bell of the Lava Immortal Palace.

While traveling to the Myriad Manifestations Sect, Ning Zhuo's cultivation level did not improve much, but his combat strength increased by leaps and bounds.

“When I face Meng Kui again, I will never be as passive and embarrassed as before.”

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Ning Zhuo said to Yu Heye, "Senior Yu's trick—releasing the stagnation of wood energy and opening a new path to facilitate the practice—is indeed ingenious. However..."

"As Senior Yu just said, the fiery heart fire must be controlled with speed, and the tangled liver wood must be gently contained. These are all individual measures, like dredging only one channel in water management. If we consider the overall rotation of the five elements, there are many problems."

"For example, how do you exchange essence and blood for metal-elemental magical power?"

"This is the source of sharpness, but it is also necessary to restrain its killing nature to prevent the metal energy from being too strong and damaging one's own meridians. Furthermore, it is necessary to receive the power of earth element (spleen palace) to increase its resilience and guide kidney water (Gui water) to moisten its dryness."

How can a balance be struck?

Ning Zhuo immediately noticed the problem.

The Reverse Five Elements Demonic Art is self-consistent, but Yu Heye's addition of tricks has caused considerable damage to its integrity.

If Yu Heye only focuses on the fire and wood elements, it will seriously interfere with his cultivation of the metal, water, and earth elements.

Yu Heye's face was as still as water.

He primarily cultivates the elements of fire and wood, supplemented by the element of water. The fire element causes explosive bursts, the wood element fuels the fire, increasing its duration, while the water element nourishes, mitigates damage, and helps him remain calm.

Yu Heye barely managed to maintain this fragile power triangle.

For him, the elements of metal and earth were more like burdens he had to bear!
balance?

Yu Heye had already exhausted all his efforts in comprehending the Wood and Fire elements. To then comprehend the Water element completely drained his learning potential.

How can one possibly take care of both the metal and earth elements at the same time?

Yu Heye stared at Ning Zhuo with wide eyes: "Junior, you should know that this demonic art is a life-or-death business! Looking before and after, and trying to achieve harmony in all things, is not the spirit of the demonic art."

Seeing Yu Heye's loss of composure, Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Senior, I have devised a method that may be able to harmonize the five elements and allow them to rotate on their own."

"The principle is simple: choose one of the five elements as the main axis. The other four elements generate and follow each other, like a cycle." Yu Heye scoffed: "Easier said than done! I'll ask you, how do you implement it?"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "That's not difficult."

He activated his magic power, gesturing with his fingers in front of his eyes. The magic power lingered in mid-air, solidifying and forming a three-dimensional shape, resembling both a talisman and a magic array.

"This is the rudimentary form of the cycle. Based on the actual situation of our predecessors, if we adopt the fire element as the main axis..."

That's how it is.

Ning Zhuo pointed his finger at the center of the graphic, and a ball of flame burst forth. The flame caused the graphic to slowly rotate.

Ning Zhuo: "The heart fire is the hub, the beginning of the wheel's movement!"

The graphic rotates faster and faster, and its overall shape gradually moves closer to that of a wheel.

Yu Heye sneered, as if he could already see the entire graphic spinning and collapsing on its own.

If this trend continues, it will indeed turn out this way.

But the next moment, Ning Zhuo lightly touched the edge of the wheel with his fingertips, and immediately a light blue water mark spread out, forming an inner ring, like building a cool dam on the edge of a raging fire.

Ning Zhuo explained, "Using the principle of water to moisten and nourish, it covers the outer edge of the wheel hub, just like a boiling cauldron covered with a cool lid, drawing out heat without burning the wheel, so that the heat does not burn it, but only provides driving force!"

Yu Heye's expression changed slightly, but he still didn't take it to heart.

Water element suppressing fire element can indeed bring about suppression. However, this is unsustainable, and the overall pattern remains unstable. It's merely a temporary fix, a temporary reprieve, but it will eventually collapse.

Moreover, water and fire are incompatible, and the consequences of a collapse would be far more severe than before.

Ning Zhuo gestured with his fingers, using his wood elemental magic to condense deep green straight lines that started from the outermost water wheel and connected to the fireball at the center of the wheel.

"Water nourishes wood, and wood nourishes fire! Wood is vigorous and easily loses its order. By linking the order in this way, we can make sense of the natural order by relying on the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, and let the wood element act as the spokes."

At this moment, Yu Heye's expression changed drastically.

Ning Zhuo's design was ingenious, killing two birds with one stone.

This not only mitigated the conflict between water and fire but also greatly stabilized the pattern. The overall appearance of the improved technique is now largely visible!
"Is it really possible?"

"No, there are still the Gold and Earth elements left."

"No, even if the subsequent deductions fail, this structure will still be of great benefit to me. Perhaps if I study it further, I can actually deduce the correct result!"

Ning Zhuo flicked his finger, and the metal elemental magic quickly circled around, forming a second wheel.

The metal wheel and the water wheel are the same size, and both revolve around the heart of fire.

When the two wheels collide, a subtle change occurs immediately. Gold, nourished by water, naturally softens its sharpness and becomes even stronger! And gold generates water, which, as it flows and permeates, is nourished.

Yu Heye had already subconsciously stood up and was no longer sitting.

He stared intently at the graphic.

At this moment, the magical symbol had formed a sphere, with a ball of fire at its center, spokes of wood, and rims of water. There was also a rim of metal, but without spokes, like a hollow circle, revolving around the ball of fire and frequently colliding with the rim of water.

Yu Heye subconsciously said, "Wonderful! Before, water generated wood, and wood generated fire. Water supported everything, but it was very energy-consuming. But now, metal generates water, which greatly makes up for it and allows it to last longer."

"But... it's still unstable."

"The metal element is also countered by the fire element. Once either the metal or water element is depleted, this structure will collapse!"

Yu Heye felt very sorry.

He never expected Ning Zhuo to deduce things to this extent. He was now completely captivated by the diagram!
"What a pity, what a pity."

"Just one step away, but it's as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

"No, that's simply impossible."

Ning Zhuo took in Yu Heye's expression and laughed loudly: "Senior Yu, do not worry, just watch."

Ning Zhuo curled his index finger, forming an earth elemental magic power, like a seed, and threw it directly into the fireball.

"Watch me infuse my golden energy into the fire!" Ning Zhu shouted, mobilizing the golden wheel with his divine sense.

The golden wheel suddenly contracted.

As the metal element contracts, the wood element collapses in turn, and then, driven by the metal wheel, all of it is thrown into the heart of fire.

Fire overcomes metal, and wood generates fire.

The flames blazed brightly, burning away the wood element, extinguishing the metal element, and adding to the earth element.

It is precisely fire that generates earth.

The earth-element seed swelled rapidly and then suddenly exploded.

The earth element dissipated, forming a golden circle that suddenly expanded outwards.

Soon, the golden wheel was created, and it returned to its original size and position.

The magical symbols continue to evolve, with water generating wood, and wood generating fire. According to this fundamental principle of the Five Elements, a large number of wood-element spokes are naturally generated.

At this moment, every hair on Yu Heye's body stood on end!
He was struck as if by lightning, frozen in place, staring intently at the Five Elements Rotation Diagram before him.

"Beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful!"

"Wonderful, wonderful beyond words!"

He roared inwardly.

A tremendous surprise filled his heart, making him feel as if he were dreaming.

Good heavens! This dream is so beautiful.

Ning Zhuo's eyes reflected the five-colored light as he calmly explained, "Fire is explosive, but metal enters the fire, precisely to use its sharp and killing intent, not to harm oneself, but to calm the mind, cut off the wild thoughts in the fire, and add a sense of purity and focus. It is just like 'fire being tempered by metal, its light remains pure and undiminished'."

"Afterwards, the embers returned to nourish the earth. Earth, by virtue of bearing all things, allows the golden wheel to be reborn."

"This is how the five elements cycle, endlessly regenerating."

Ning Zhuo's voice was calm, but when it reached Yu Heye's ears, it was truly deafening!
This late-stage Golden Core cultivator stared intently at the Five Elements Rotation Mana Diagram before him, his eyes gleaming with ever-increasing intensity. A flush of intense excitement rose to his face as he murmured to himself, "Balance within movement... Five-speed rotation... Fire hub drive... Metal for the mind... Earth for the foundation... Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!"

He was so focused that he subconsciously circulated his magic power, altering its flow according to the animated image before him.

This change is no small matter.

Yu Heye was severely unprepared, and his entire attention was diverted. And altering the flow of magical power—wasn't that an easy task?
The old order was overthrown, but a new order did not emerge in time.

boom.

The fireball exploded as soon as it took shape.

A terrible burning sensation instantly spread throughout my body.

Yu Heye's pupils shrank sharply, revealing an expression of utter shock.

"I'm going to die!!!"
