Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

The Peacock King frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart. Since he mastered the Five-Colored Divine Light technique, he had almost never encountered a situation where he couldn't overcome it. For those with insufficient cultivation, a mere flick of the wrist was enough to subdue them. Even various magical treasures and spiritual artifacts were difficult to withstand the power of his flick. Even some powerful spiritual artifacts only required a few more flicks. But now, he was blocked by Lin Nan's seemingly ordinary divine power.

With a thought, the Peacock King unleashed his five-colored divine light once more, sweeping towards Lin Nan like a surging tide.

"Shh!"

However, Lin Nan remained as steady as Mount Tai, his body not swaying in the slightest. The golden light emanating from his body continued to shine brightly, as if proclaiming its power to the world. The two auras of Taiqing and Shangqing, like loyal guardians, tightly surrounded Lin Nan's entire body.

At that very moment, Lin Nan seemed to step into a mysterious realm—the "Supreme" realm. In this realm, he seemed omniscient and omnipotent, perfectly in harmony with the Dao. He quietly felt the wondrous sensation of the five-colored divine light enveloping him, an indescribable experience. Although the five-colored divine light felt strange, it contained the supreme mystery of this supernatural power.

Lin Nan was completely unaffected by the Five-Colored Divine Light; on the contrary, he was able to calm his mind and comprehend the mysteries of this divine power. "Five feathers, five colors, the five elements revolve, forming a cycle..." From this Five-Colored Divine Light, Lin Nan seemed to see a trace of the Five Emperors' origins. The Five Emperors and the five colors both belong to the Five Elements, only their manifestations differ. Through this Five-Colored Divine Light, Lin Nan seemed to have found a door to the mysteries of the Five Elements; he could comprehend the true essence of the Five Elements Dao. By comprehending the Five-Colored Divine Light, he could enhance the Five Emperors formed from his own five energies, allowing his cultivation to reach a higher level.

Besides the resistance from the Golden Light Mantra, the two auras of Taiqing and Shangqing acted like a sturdy shield, protecting Lin Nan and preventing the Five-Colored Divine Light from causing him any harm.

"This..." The Peacock King frowned again. He saw his five-colored divine light sweeping across Lin Nan's body, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to shake Lin Nan in the slightest. At this moment, he completely understood that Lin Nan's protective divine power was no ordinary thing.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?" The Peacock King was filled with doubt. "I have been suppressed in Buddhism for so many years. Could it be that such an astonishing and supreme supernatural power has appeared in the world again?"

This astonishing and unparalleled divine power was the Peacock King's assessment of Lin Nan's abilities. His Five-Colored Divine Light was incredibly powerful and invincible, once dominating the world and known for its ability to sweep away anything. Now, the sudden appearance of a protective divine power that could withstand his Five-Colored Divine Light naturally earned him this evaluation.

After recognizing the extraordinary nature of this supernatural power, the Peacock King suddenly discovered another astonishing thing: five-colored light was faintly emerging within Lin Nan's body.

"Hmm?" A series of doubts welled up in the mind of the Peacock King. He believed that although his Five-Colored Divine Light could cleanse people, it would never cause the Five-Colored Divine Light to emerge from within their bodies!

"What's going on?" Peacock King carefully examined Lin Nan and finally discovered a clue.

"Could it be that he cultivated the Five Elements Dao, just like my Five-Colored Divine Light?"

Within Lin Nan's body, five-colored light shone brilliantly. Among them, the black and crimson light were the most intense, almost identical to two of the colors in the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock King. As for the other three colors, white, blue, and yellow, they were slightly dim and could not compare with the three colors in the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Peacock King.

However, in the eyes of the Peacock King, the slightly dim three colors were gradually brightening, as if containing boundless power. The five colors within Lin Nan's body were even faintly arranged in the same way as the Peacock King's five-colored divine light.

"This..." The Peacock King's expression changed completely, and he could no longer remain calm.

"He's actually learning my Five-Colored Divine Light Technique?"

"How is this possible?!!"

The Peacock King was speechless with shock, hardly believing his eyes. His Five-Colored Divine Light had resounded throughout heaven and earth for many years, and he had never encountered anything like this before. Not only could someone withstand his Five-Colored Divine Light, but they could also learn it from him! And judging by this, Lin Nan seemed genuinely going to try and learn it!

"How dare you use me as a whetstone!"

A nameless rage surged within the Peacock King, and he abruptly withdrew his Five-Colored Divine Light, deciding to stop using it to attack Lin Nan altogether.

Lin Nan also suddenly sensed this; the feeling of the five elements around him had vanished without a trace. He immediately understood what had happened.

"The five-colored divine light of the Bright King is indeed extraordinary!"

Just now, Lin Nan's experience with the Five-Colored Divine Light deeply moved him, making the Five Emperors within him even more harmonious. From the Five-Colored Divine Light, he even gleaned some insights into its principles, enabling the Five Emperors within him to mutually enhance each other through the Five-Colored Divine Light, thus achieving a continuous cycle of the Five Elements!
Lin Nan slowly opened his eyes, and five-colored light flowed within them, as if they contained endless mysteries.

"Having witnessed the five-colored divine light of the Bright King, I also request that the Bright King witness the divine powers of the Five Emperors!"

"The five internal organs are divided into the five elements, the five elements transform into the five qi, the five qi give rise to the five emperors, and so forth!"

Lin Nan once again displayed his supernatural power, with five-colored light surging out from his body, as if five giant dragons were soaring into the sky.

Using the five-colored divine light of the Peacock King, Lin Nan nourished himself, transforming the 'Five Emperors' within his body into a technique similar to the five-colored divine light. This supernatural power shouldn't be called 'Five-Colored Divine Light'; 'Five Emperors' Divine Light' would be a more fitting name!
However, while the Crimson Emperor and the Black Emperor within Lin Nan had already been formed, the remaining three emperors were still in the gestation stage. This divine power was ultimately not yet fully perfected, and its power had not yet reached its full potential.

Even so, this Five Emperors Divine Light already possesses considerable power. Its power is similar to the Five-Colored Divine Light, yet it has some differences, making it even more unique.

Five-colored light burst forth from Lin Nan's body, radiating dazzling brilliance and transforming into five beams of light. Among them, the crimson and black beams were the most intense, seemingly containing boundless power.

Upon seeing this, the Peacock King let out a cold snort.

"Just showing off my limited skills before an expert!"

Although his Five-Colored Divine Light couldn't affect Lin Nan, it didn't mean that the Peacock King would be wary of Lin Nan's Five Elements Divine Power. On the contrary, he thought Lin Nan was just showing off his limited skills.

Thinking this, the Peacock King's five-colored divine light surged forth once more. This five-colored divine light was said to be able to sweep away anything; it could not only be used against enemies but also to break through other people's supernatural powers and remove their weapons. At this moment, the Peacock King, who thought Lin Nan was merely showing off his limited skills, used his five-colored divine light to let Lin Nan witness its true power.

"You possess extraordinary supernatural powers that my Five-Colored Divine Light cannot break, but how can your mere amateurish Five Elements supernatural powers possibly rival my Five-Colored Divine Light?"

The Peacock King pondered to himself.

But the next moment, he saw that Lin Nan's supernatural power had changed again. Three more streams of pure energy had merged into the original five-colored light. One of them was the Taiqing Qi, one was the Shangqing Qi, and the third was not very clear, but it was the Yuqing Qi that Lin Nan had not yet cultivated.

Even though his cultivation was only half-finished, Lin Nan still used it to fight. The three streams of pure energy entered the Five Emperors' Divine Light and immediately took over, becoming the dominant force. In an instant, the Five Emperors' Divine Light received an additional enhancement, becoming even more powerful.

From the five-colored divine light of the Peacock King, Lin Nan attempted to create the 'Five Emperors Divine Light'. However, Lin Nan also knew that he had not yet fully mastered the Five Emperors, and this Five Emperors Divine Light was merely a 'half-baked' version. Such a supernatural power, compared to the orthodox five-colored divine light, was indeed somewhat like showing off one's limited skills before an expert. But Lin Nan did not expect this newly created 'Five Emperors Divine Light' to achieve any unexpected results, which did not mean that Lin Nan was wasting his time.

And then, this scene unfolded...

Lin Nan has demonstrated extraordinary innovative abilities! It's important to know that besides the Five Emperors' power within Lin Nan, which can unleash supernatural abilities in the form of divine light, the three energies transformed from the giant flower atop his head are equally formidable. These three energies are the legendary Three Pure Ones' energies, also known as Profound Energy, Primordial Energy, and Beginning Energy.

Each of these three energies has its unique and wondrous uses. Although Lin Nan has not yet fully mastered the Primordial Energy, he already possesses the Profound Energy and the Primordial Energy. The status of these three energies far surpasses that of the Five Elements and the Five Emperors. Lin Nan skillfully fused the Profound Energy and the Primordial Energy using the supernatural power of "Five-Colored Divine Light," creating a completely new Sun Dao supernatural power.

As expected, when the primordial energy and profound energy merged into the still-unfinished Five Emperors Divine Light, the divine light underwent a dramatic transformation! The divine light grew increasingly powerful, giving off an aura of indestructibility. At this moment, it was no longer merely the "Five Emperors Divine Light," but could more accurately be called the "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light"!
If Lin Nan can further cultivate "Primordial Qi", that is, Jade Purity Qi, and integrate it into this divine power, then this divine power can be upgraded to "Three Pure Ones and Five Emperors Divine Light" or "Three Qi and Five Elements Divine Light".

The Peacock King noticed this change. Although he was filled with doubt, he was more confident in his own five-colored divine light.

brush!
The five-colored divine light collided violently with Lin Nan's "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light"!
The two divine powers clashed, their colors dazzling and each possessing its own unique characteristics. One was a five-colored divine light, and the other was the "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light," which contained two energies within its five colors. The Peacock King's five-colored divine light had always been invincible since the beginning of time, but today it had met a truly formidable opponent.

Although Lin Nan's Five Emperors Divine Light was still somewhat immature, it displayed extraordinary power under the enhancement of "Mysterious Qi" and "Primordial Qi." These two energies surpassed the Five Elements, and under their protection, the "Mysterious Primordial Five Emperors Divine Light" was in no way inferior to the Five-Colored Divine Light. In fact, it remained completely unmoved even under the impact of the Five-Colored Divine Light, and still managed to unleash a certain degree of power!

brush!
After Lin Nan's "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light" blocked the five-colored divine light, it instead shone even brighter and countered the five-colored divine light.

"Huh?" The Peacock King was astonished. He felt his five-colored divine light waver at this moment. He couldn't help but change his expression drastically and exclaimed, "What kind of divine power is this?"

The Peacock King clearly saw that Lin Nan's Five Emperors' Divine Light was no match for his Five-Colored Divine Light in essence. What truly threatened the Five-Colored Divine Light was the two energies that later merged into it.

“This is the ‘Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light’!” Lin Nan replied.

After saying that, Lin Nan suddenly exerted his strength. With a thought, the "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light" suppressed Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light like Mount Tai pressing down.

"Shh!"

After suppressing the five-colored divine light, the "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light" continued to attack Kong Xuan.

Behind Kong Xuan, the Garbhadhatu Mandala, accompanied by surging Buddhist light, attempted to protect his body. However, when the "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors' Divine Light" struck, even the Garbhadhatu Mandala and the Buddhist light could not completely protect Kong Xuan.

"Clap!"

Kong Xuan's body, enveloped in Buddhist light, was directly swept past by the "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light," tumbling through the chaos. This attack caused the surrounding chaotic energy to surge and become even more turbulent.

The Peacock King quickly regained his senses, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that Lin Nan, merely by stealing his Five-Colored Divine Light, had mastered such a divine power in such a short time, even surpassing his own Five-Colored Divine Light!
Not only that, Lin Nan also used this divine power to suppress the Peacock King. However, on the other hand, the Peacock King was somewhat dazed. He was not ignorant; he could discern some clues from the name of the divine power alone.

“The divine light of the Five Emperors of Xuan Yuan, besides the Five Emperors, there is also Xuan Yuan… So those two streams of energy are Xuan Qi and Yuan Qi? This is the source of the supreme Three Pure Ones' energy…” The Peacock King muttered to himself, suddenly feeling that his five-colored divine light had been broken, which seemed to be reasonable.

After all, Xuan Qi, Yuan Qi, and Shi Qi together form the foundation of the entire world. Even the power of the Five Elements is inferior to them!

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan raised his head, looked at Lin Nan, and said frankly, "I have lost."

In the chaos, after being struck by Lin Nan's "Mysterious Origin Five Emperors Divine Light," the Peacock King deeply realized Lin Nan's power. Subsequently, he readily and frankly admitted defeat.

In ancient times, Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light astonished heaven and earth and moved even ghosts and gods to tears. Even the two founders of the Western Sect, the predecessor of Buddhism, were helpless against it and could only suppress it in the West with their powerful magic.

For the Peacock King, this was the first time since the beginning of time that his five-colored divine light had been directly suppressed.

Therefore, even though he was suppressed in the west, the Peacock King was still dissatisfied and later even swallowed the Buddha, all because of his resentment.

Now, facing Lin Nan was a different story. He had witnessed firsthand that his Five-Colored Divine Light was useless against Lin Nan. Lin Nan, on the other hand, had not only grasped the essence of his Five-Colored Divine Light but also evolved a similar divine power, adding further variations. These additional variations amplified the power, directly suppressing him. This made the Peacock King completely convinced of his superiority. (End of Chapter)
