Chapter 913 Yin and Yang
Ji An activated his magic incantation, breaking the yin-yang balance of the metal element's spiritual energy, causing the yin to diminish and the yang to grow, thus highlighting the power of Geng metal.

A sharp and destructive aura permeated the air, and one felt a chilling desolation in their spiritual senses. If a low-level cultivator were present, their soul would surely be injured by this power.

He followed the same method and generated the Bing Fire Spirit and the Jia Wood Spirit, both of which were intensely Yang. However, the Spirits interfered severely with each other and collapsed before he could release the Earth element aura.

Ji An pondered for a moment and continued the experiment.

This time he changed his approach, releasing the spiritual energies of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth in sequence, and then altering the balance of yin and yang. This time, the collapse occurred even faster, and he could not continue before the energies of Geng metal and Ren water fully strengthened.

The spiritual energies interfered with each other, and with his current spiritual power, he was completely unable to control the changes of all five elements at the same time.

Feeling that this method was severely depleting his spiritual power, he stopped experimenting and instead cast a spell on the spiritual field.

He rode the auspicious five-colored clouds and flew away, releasing the Great Virtue Spirit-Evolving Spell and the Dragon Soaring to Life for All Things in succession. The aura contained in the magic and divine intent injected vitality into this barren spiritual desert.

After casting the spell on the previously degraded land, Ji An landed to check the situation. As his feet touched the yellow sand, he felt a slight tremor coming from the ground.

In fact, the tremor was extremely weak; if his cultivation level hadn't been high enough and his understanding of earth element hadn't been strong enough, he would have had a hard time noticing it.

The source of the tremor was extremely far away in the desert, at least thirty miles away, but it was rapidly approaching.

Although the Land of Absolute Spirits has no spiritual energy, the earth still vibrates when creatures move. This is a fundamental law. A deep understanding of the Five Elements allows for a clearer understanding of the world's operating rules.

Spiritual energy is of great importance to both cultivators and mortals, but it is not so for those savage beasts. They will instinctively hate any spiritual energy, and powerful savage beasts can even sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy from dozens of miles away.

Strong fluctuations in spiritual energy will attract attacks from savage beasts, but Ji An's aura during his spellcasting is extremely powerful, and any savage beast that dares to provoke him must also be powerful enough.

If nothing unexpected happens, the creature that has come to 'die' this time should be the most powerful savage beast in the Land of Desolation—the Sandworm.

Previously, he was unable to sense the sandworms moving through the desert. He didn't know if it was because his cultivation had improved or because the Wuji Earth Dao Seed had become stronger. Now, when he was on the ground, his senses were much sharper.

Ji An revealed a mocking smile, rode the clouds and flew more than ten miles into the desert before landing, and then summoned the Five Directions Flag Spirit Treasure.

Before being defeated by him, the enemy always thought he was very capable.

This time, the Five Banners did not form a defensive zone, but instead dispersed to release the spiritual energy of the Five Elements, covering dozens of acres of desert.

He stood in the territory of the Wuji Xinghuang Banner, where his natal spirit treasure was stationed at the center, commanding other spirit treasures and ready to protect his safety at any time.

Ji An made a hand seal, releasing the hardness of metal and stone, and also activated his inner core of qi and blood, using the abundant power of qi and blood to condense a thin but extremely tough layer of golden armor.

Although he didn't think the sandworms would harm him, he still needed to have necessary protection, focusing on stability and eliminating any possibility of unexpected setbacks.

The Five Elements Divine Mountain was summoned, a miniature mountain the size of a fist floating on his right shoulder.

The five magical treasures began to release rich spiritual energy, and the desert seemed to transform into a bottomless pit, constantly devouring this spiritual energy.

This behavior was the greatest provocation to the sandworms, and Ji An could sense that the sandworms were moving at an even faster speed in the distance.

The ground suddenly caved in, and the yellow sand seemed to turn into water, forming a whirlpool. A huge insect opened its mouth and rushed out.

It has no eyes, its mouthparts are covered with a thick layer of hair, and its esophagus is like that of a snake, but inside are rows of serrated teeth that can close completely together.

Its esophagus is like an abyss, generating immense suction.

However, the sandworm missed its target, and the prey it had locked onto suddenly vanished from the spot.

Just as the sandworm was about to launch its attack but had not yet done so, Ji An released a golden light that soared into the sky.

He looked down at the earth and saw that the sand worm was a hundred feet long and its open mouth was about two or three acres in size.

Judging from the intensity of the life force emanating from it, the sandworm is equivalent to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Its vital energy surged into the sky, distorting the light around its body. Judging from the abundance of its vital energy, it was far stronger than other body cultivators of the same realm.

If such sandworms cannot be killed directly, even if they are brought to the brink of death, they can recover in less than ten days or half a month as long as they escape.

However, the battle between cultivators and savage beasts is not only about 'numerical values', but also about 'skill levels'.

Ji An's skill level is beyond the realm. With the existence of the Dao Seed, the quality of magic power that is far superior to that of other realms, and other factors combined, dealing with savage beasts that can only rely on physical strength is no problem for him.

The only thing to be careful of is not letting the sandworms escape, otherwise these vengeful creatures will secretly damage the soil.

As the sandworm's body leaped away from the yellow sand, Ji An activated the Five Directions Banner, causing the energy of the five spiritual treasures to merge together, with a portion of it condensing on the ground.

In an area spanning dozens of acres, the originally soft yellow sand was instantly kneaded together, resembling a steel plate.

If a sandworm cannot burrow into the sand immediately, its life will come to an end.

The Five Elements Divine Mountain suddenly expanded, emitting five-colored spiritual light, like a vibrant dream. This spiritual treasure possessed only one ability—suppression; its weight was merely an accessory to bear this power. Ji An held nothing back, pushing his Nascent Soul Dharma Image to its limit. A surging 'sea' filled the void, and the power of Ren Water poured down, enveloping the sand worms that had never felt such a rich aquatic aura before.

The Dharma Form manifested as a stream with many whirlpools and undercurrents, and with the power of the Five Elements Divine Mountain, the speed of the sandworm was greatly limited. It could only leap a few dozen feet before it could not continue.

Not only did its physical speed slow down, but its reaction speed also decreased significantly.

At this moment, Ji An had already formed a hand seal and released the Chaotic Five Elements Thunder.

A portion of the spiritual energy emanating from the intermingling of the five flags rose up, filling this desert with the aura of the five elements.

A five-colored lightning flower bloomed in the void, its dazzling light shooting towards the sky and reaching the layer of clouds.

The thunder triggered the spiritual energy released by the Five Banners, causing a secondary explosion centered on the sandworm, with lightning flashing across an area of ​​dozens of acres.

The sandworm's toughest outer skin withstood the destructive aura of thunder, and most of its outer skin carbonized. Its proud thick hide was nothing compared to the thunder magic enhanced by multiple forces.

It landed on the ground and tried to use its innate ability to hide in the yellow sand. As long as it can escape, it will recover in no time.

The sandworm miscalculated; the yellow sand on the ground seemed to be filled with molten copper, preventing it from immediately entering what it considered safe land.

One wrong step leads to another. Ji An's magic technique was activated, and the second Chaotic Five Elements Thunder had already been 'delivered'!
The lightning flashed like blooming flowers, and the sandworms were completely crushed by this force.

The power of Geng metal extinguished life force, the power of Yi wood weakened vitality, and the explosive power of Bing fire burned everything. The sandworm's tenacious vitality was completely rendered useless, and its body shattered into pieces amidst the lightning.

It ravaged this desolate land for thousands of years, but now it has returned everything to this land.

"That's it?"

Ji An issued a question, but the enemy no longer needed to answer it.

Feeling the lingering effects of the magic, he suddenly realized that there was a better way to bring together the yang energy of the five elements.

It released a burst of golden light that pierced the sky, and arrived at a cave where it had once stayed.

When he left, he used his magic to raise soil and seal the cave entrance, and also planted an elm tree outside.

Three years have changed so much; weeds and vines have climbed all over the earthen walls, and the elm trees have grown to more than three zhang tall.

He reached out and activated his magic, using earth elemental power to dismantle the earthen wall, and casually released a cold wind spell.

Once the foul air in the cave had completely dissipated, Ji An stepped inside, set up the array plates and flags, and then activated it by performing a hand seal.

The magic array sealed off the cave entrance, and the mimicry ability transformed the cave into a rocky hill covered with grass.

Ji An entered the small world and immediately gave the order:
"Ah Yun, light the Bodhi Auspicious Incense and brew another pot of fourth-grade superior Enlightenment Tea."

Ayun had already boiled the spiritual spring water, and put some tea leaves into the kettle. In an instant, the delicate aroma of tea slowly spread.

After drinking the hot tea, I felt refreshed and my thinking seemed to pick up a bit more.

Eagerly, he flew to an open space to test whether his understanding was feasible.

The forces of Yin and Yang are opposing yet interdependent, so it is almost impossible to condense a single Yin or Yang force on its own. Therefore, he chose to find another way.

Each of the five fingers of the left hand generates a power of one of the five elements, and then actively controls the transformation of the balanced power.

With Geng metal, Gui water, Jia wood, and Ding fire all appearing simultaneously, the earth element's power is inclusive and all-encompassing, maintaining a balance of Yin and Yang.

When the energy of Gui water and Ding fire reaches its peak, Ji An takes a deep breath. The moment to witness a miracle is about to begin, or it may be another trial and error.

He activated his Nascent Soul Dharma Form to strengthen his control over his consciousness, and then suddenly reversed the flow of Qi. The Qi of Gui Water and Ding Fire weakened rapidly, while the Qi of Ren Water and Jia Wood surged forth.

At the same time, the Earth element energy split into two: the power of Wu Earth rose upwards, while the power of Ji Earth descended.

Moreover, he actively controlled a portion of the power of Geng metal and Jia wood to transform Xin metal and Yi wood.

The ten spiritual forces are clearly distinct, with the yang force converging upwards and the yin force converging downwards.

A wondrous rhythm is generated between the Yin and Yang spiritual energies of the same Five Elements, while the Yang spiritual energies that interfere with each other maintain a stable state.

Ji An's body was surging with magical power, continuously generating the power of the five elements.

Suddenly, the Yang spiritual energy, such as Geng metal and Ren water, merged together and transformed into white spiritual light. Simultaneously, it also naturally merged with all the Yin spiritual energy, turning into a deep, dark ink color.

As long as the path is correct, quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes, and the two energies of Yin and Yang will be born simultaneously.

 Updates will resume normally tomorrow. There's a National Day holiday, so there will be some missed updates at the beginning.
