Chapter 670 The Inheritance of the Three Flowers Realm
Ji An smiled calmly and confidently, and nodded:
"This disciple has abundant magical power and full spiritual consciousness, and is ready to begin at any time."

When he stepped onto the high platform, he had already adjusted his condition to its best, originally intending to break the restrictions of the Five Elements Transformation Hall.

The puppet raised its hand and made a hand seal, revealing a passage behind it:

"Next, you will undergo five trials. I will evaluate your performance to determine what kind of reward you will receive. The higher the evaluation, the richer the reward."

The rewards certainly include cultivation techniques, but what level of reward you can get depends on yourself.

By completing the trial or shouting "I surrender!", the passage will reopen, and you will ascend to another level for further trials.

The puppet entered the passage, and the portal closed.

Then a voice came from the clouds:
"Each trial will be broken down into several smaller trials, testing your understanding of the power of the five elements."

The Earth Element Trial begins.

The understanding of the power of the Five Elements must be genuine; one is one, and two is two. If the understanding is not thorough, it is impossible to pass the trial.

A hole the size of a millstone appeared in the wall, followed by the sound of flowing water.

The puppet's voice rang out again; guiding the trial in an orderly manner was its duty.

"What's flowing out is heavy water of the first element. You need to build a reservoir to prevent the water from overflowing the ground. How long the reservoir can last will affect your evaluation."

The inky water flowed out, creating a large crater in the ground.

Ji An immediately understood that this trial was testing his understanding of the power of Earth.

One-element heavy water is a type of spiritual water, which adds to the momentum of the water flow.

Earth of the Earth element (戊土) is Yang Earth, and its power to restrain water and deplete wood is even stronger.

He immediately made a hand seal, and his golden core began to spin rapidly, from which magical power flowed continuously, circulating in his immortal veins and surging into his Earth Element Divine Palace.

The surface of the divine palace was bright with veins, and the Earth element of the Dao seed shone brightly. After being nurtured, the magical power immediately took on the properties of Earth.

Ji An unleashed his magical power, and a yellow spiritual light spread across the ground, causing a circular dam to rise and encircle the One Yuan Heavy Water within it.

This trial is extremely challenging. If one does not have a sufficient understanding of the power of Earth, the constructed dam will not be able to withstand the impact of the One Element Heavy Water.

The more of this spiritual water accumulates, the stronger its power becomes.

After the dam was raised, Ji An used his magic to increase the height and thickness of the dam while simultaneously using his magic to nourish the soil and enhance its Wu Earth characteristics.

No more water flowed out of the channel, and the water in the dam was like a windswept ocean, stirring up wave after wave.

Time passed second by second, but the dam remained steadfast.

Witnessing all this, the puppet's murky eyes brightened slightly; the trial had been resolved perfectly.

Most of the previous trial participants were able to hold out until the water flow stopped, but the remaining cultivators' dams would collapse in the surging water.

The dam used in this trial was as solid as a mountain. There was absolutely no sign of it crumbling.

'Perhaps the other party just happens to have a deep understanding of earth elemental power.'

The puppet couldn't help but think, and spoke again:
"This trial is complete."

As soon as he finished speaking, several holes appeared at the bottom of the dam, and the heavy water quickly leaked in and disappeared without a trace.

"The next trial requires you to nourish the earth with your magic power to cultivate a stronger metal element."

Upon hearing the details of the trial, Ji An immediately began to perform a hand seal, releasing the Earth Vein Life-Giving Technique, and the Earth Seed emitted a warm and gentle light.

This spell is a planting spell of the Earth element, which can not only nourish all things, but also has the strongest effect of generating metal and dissipating fire.

An hour later, the puppet saw the light from the monitoring array and nodded excitedly, because the concentration of the metal element spiritual energy it had nurtured had reached the highest standard, and even slightly exceeded it.

The trial participant's cultivation level was only at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, yet the test results showed that he had reached the standard of the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, demonstrating an extremely profound understanding of the power of Earth.

"In the next trial, wood-elemental spiritual light will surge from one side of the main hall, and fire-elemental spiritual light will surge from the other side, lasting for half an hour."

What you need to do is to prolong the time for the two inspirations to meet as much as possible.

Once the two sources of inspiration meet, the trial ends.

Now, you can rest for an hour to recover your magical power and spiritual consciousness.

Ji An obediently sat cross-legged on the ground, first activating the magical restriction of the Soul Nourishing Pendant, then taking out two high-grade spirit stones and holding them in his hands, and began to circulate the Five Elements Wheel Sutra.

His magical power and spiritual energy were not greatly depleted, but he had to maintain a better state in the face of the trial and could not be arrogant in the slightest.

A quarter of an hour later, Ji An stopped practicing his internal energy, stood up, and called out:
"Senior, you may continue the trial now."

"Alright, the trial begins."

Light screens flickered on both sides of the main hall. After the light screens disappeared, blue light and red fire surged out like flowing water.

Ji An had already devised a plan. This trial tested the unity of Wu and Ji Earth, and he only needed to cast one spell to counter it.

The magical power flowed rapidly along a specific route within the immortal veins, causing the two Dao seeds, Wu Earth and Ji Earth, to shine brilliantly.

The yellow aura burst forth explosively, like a massive sandstorm, a sign of the earth's fury.
Half an hour passed, and the distance between the azure light and the crimson fire and the main hall was less than ten feet, let alone the distance between them. The puppet's excited voice trembled, "Good, good, good! Earth Element Trial is over, rating A."

The passage opened, and Ji An stepped forward, arriving at a white expanse of land.

The puppet's tone became more enthusiastic, "Let's rest for an hour to recover our magic power and spiritual sense, and then we'll proceed with the Metal Element Trial."

"Alas, the spiritual veins are depleted; otherwise, you would have received a spiritual object to quickly replenish your depleted mana and spiritual consciousness."

Three hours later, the puppet's excited voice rang out:

"Good! The Gold Element Trial is over. Rating: Top Grade."

If the puppet had tear ducts, he would surely be weeping uncontrollably at this moment, as he spoke in a devout tone:
"Fire elemental trial complete, rating: A-grade."

Although the standards for qualifying for the trial have been lowered, the evaluation standards for the trial have not been lowered in the slightest.

He understood what such a trial result meant. Although the sect had become a thing of the past, the inheritance had been passed on to such a disciple. The Five Elements Revolving Scripture would surely shine brightly and make him a top cultivator who would dominate an era.

In the future, a great cultivator at the Three Flowers Realm may emerge, stepping out of this world to pursue the dream of becoming an immortal.

"My child, you have a long, long road ahead of you. Are you prepared to face all the hardships and obstacles?"

Ji An could clearly sense the change in the puppet's tone, and a sense of sacred solemnity welled up in his heart.

He was moved by this emotion that had been suppressed for countless years, and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Disciple is willing."

The puppet closed its eyes and sighed deeply. Such a trial could yield the highest-level reward.

Before the sect was destroyed, the disciples who entered the trial palace would undergo a rigorous examination of their character, but now time no longer allows for that.

He could sense that the spiritual veins would completely dry up within a few decades, and if he did not hand over the inheritance, the traces of the Five Elements Sect would slowly disappear into the river of time.

More importantly, his remaining spiritual power is also about to give out, and he can only live for another forty or fifty years at most.

All he could do was pray that the person he had entrusted with the task was of good character.

The puppet sat on the ground. "Come, let's chat. What's your Daoist name? Can you tell me about yourself and your sect?"

Ji An also sat on the ground and respectfully replied:
"My Daoist name is Xuanqing, and I come from the Jinling Sect of the Western Continent."

Seniors may not know that our mission cultivators migrated to explore the Western Continent six thousand years ago, and our sect's founder led his disciples to the Western Continent three thousand years ago.

About five hundred years ago, the disciple's senior brother, True Man Zhengyang, came to the ruins and obtained a fragment of the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture. Senior Brother Zhengyang was also the first Golden Core cultivator in the sect.

When disciples first entered the sect, they were assigned to cultivate spirit rice in the spirit fields.

He talked a lot, mentioning Crimson Flame Peak, Ge Ying, Jia Yu, Ye Changqing, Zhang Yuanshan, Wei Songnian, Zhao Mengyao, and all the other cultivators he had close relationships with in his life.

They talked for seventeen or eighteen hours straight, without sleep or rest.

"The outside world is so vibrant!"

The puppet gazed into the distance, seemingly piercing through all obstacles in this region, and saw the blue sky and white clouds.

He stood up, fumbled along the wall for a while, opened the hole, took out a yellow jade box, and held it up with both hands as if he were holding up a world, weighing more than ten thousand pounds.

"This is the most essential inheritance of the Five Elements Sect. There are many other inheritances buried in the sands of time. Today, I entrust these to you."

There were originally many more supplies, but we met you too late. Only these jade slips survived because they were carefully preserved. We hope that the Five Elements Sect's legacy can be carried forward and flourish in your hands.

Through conversation, he can sense a person's inner thoughts.

Ji An accepted the jade box with the proper disciple's salute. "I am ashamed to accept this gift. In the future, I am willing to select a few outstanding disciples to inherit the Five Elements Sect's legacy and to help and support the Golden Spirit Sect."

If one obtains the most essential inherited knowledge from a top-tier Nascent Soul sect, the Golden Spirit Sect will also become such a force.

"Haha, good! With your words, I can face the esteemed patriarchs with peace of mind. Please, no need for formalities!"

Ji An straightened up, smiled sheepishly, and asked:

"Senior, what level can our cultivation technique reach? This disciple is very curious."

"Above the Nascent Soul stage is the Three Flowers Realm: Essence is the Jade Flower, Qi is the Golden Flower, and Spirit is the Nine Flowers. As long as you cultivate step by step, you can gather all three flowers."

"So powerful?! I've never heard of any cultivators at the Three Flowers Realm appearing before."

Ji An was no longer calm. This inheritance was too heavy. However, he also had doubts in his heart. How could the Five Elements Sect, which was so strong back then, have been destroyed?

The puppet said wistfully:
"In our world, it is impossible to achieve the Three Flowers Realm. The upper limit of any great world is the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm."

You must break free from the barriers to break through to a higher realm. The methods for practicing are all there; just take a look. But don't aim too high.

Our cultivation method could only be cultivated up to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. The reason we have such a powerful inheritance is because one of our ancestors who left this world returned to the sect and left behind a new legacy.

Later, this patriarch left again to pursue his own path.
