Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 267 Enlightenment, Five-Colored Divine Light Secluded for a Year

At the same time, a dazzling array of colors shone upon Leng Feibai.

The Five Elements Undying Body is a top-tier external cultivation method created by Leng Feibai by combining the War God's Manual's external cultivation chapter and the Five Elements chapter.

Combined with the power of the Yuan Chen Pearl, Leng Feibai's defense is now so strong that it is virtually unassailable, except perhaps by immortals.

Seeing Leng Feibai's change, the six elders' expressions changed slightly. They exchanged glances and simultaneously turned their palms outward.

The vortex of true energy rose again, this time adding a black energy and a white energy in addition to the energy of the four seasons.

In that instant, the surrounding scenery transformed into a cosmic galaxy.

"Fun, fun!"

Seeing this, Leng Feibai did not launch an attack. Instead, golden light rose in his eyes as he carefully observed all the changes within the formation.

"The power of this formation far surpasses that of the Four Grandmasters and the Three Elders of Xiaoyao, and can even rival that of Guiguzi. But it is still far inferior to the Sweeper Monk and Donghuang Taiyi."

The next moment, countless attacks with different effects came from all directions and all hit Leng Feibai.

"strong enough!"

Leng Feibai carefully sensed the various impacts on his body and the changes in the surrounding scenery, and a few insights also appeared in his mind.

The six elders exchanged glances as they looked at Leng Feibai.

At that very moment, Leng Feibai flipped his hands outward, and the Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol circled around him, encompassing the attacks released by the six elders and gathering them in his palms.

At the same time, the characteristics of the Northern Darkness Divine Art contained in Leng Feibai's mental cultivation technique were activated, devouring and refining the Qi ball in his palm.

"boom"

A stream of energy burst forth from its body, transforming into boundless waves of air.

But just as the shockwave was about to approach the six elders and the Shennong statue, a layer of energy shield fell from the sky and blocked the shockwave.

"Thank you so much for your guidance, six seniors!"

Leng Feibai clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his face full of gratitude.

"What clever tricks this little kid has!"

Elder Li looked at Leng Feibai and said, "You actually dare to absorb the true energy released by us into your body. Aren't you afraid of tearing your own body apart?"

"The power of the four seasons and the sun and moon is indeed difficult to dissipate!"

Leng Feibai smiled slightly and said, "But within my body lies a universe of its own. No matter how strong this power is, how could it possibly break through heaven and earth!"

"Arrogant words!"

Elder Gu Shen gripped a weapon shaped like a scythe and said, "But your strength is worthy of this arrogance!"

After hearing this, Leng Feibai cupped his hands in greeting again, then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Elder Li Shi spoke up to persuade them to stay, saying, "To think you can leave after taking this attack from us is rather naive!"

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai turned his head and looked over, his eyes still showing a peaceful expression.

"The Twenty-Four Earthly Branches have one more, most powerful transformation. Kid, want to try it out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange look flashed in Leng Feibai's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "This junior would also like to try, but the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches involve the core secrets of the Farmer's Clan. It would be against the rules to allow an outsider like me to spy on them!"

"You really think you can handle this?!"

After Elder Li finished speaking, his tone changed, "If you can accept this, consider it a favor you owe the farmer. How about you do the farmer a favor in the future?"

"can!"

Leng Feibai calmly said, "If the Farmer Family encounters any misfortune in the future, I am willing to lend a hand! I would appreciate your guidance, seniors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the six elders stood up, and four of them even picked up weapons.

"We six are the six sages of the farming family throughout the ages!"

Elder Li Shi calmly said, "Do you know what the Six Sages are?"

"In ancient times, Emperor Yan Shennong forged weapons, tasted hundreds of herbs, planted grains, understood music, built water conservancy projects, and established the calendar."

Leng Feibai explained the setting from Qin's Moon, "This is also the origin of the titles of the elders!"

"Not bad!"

Elder Li Shi continued, "But the six of us also inherit the six great skills of the Farmer's School. And after many years of research, we have integrated the six great skills into the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches."

"In that case, I urge all six of you to give it your all and offer your guidance!"

Leng Feibai's hands changed, and in that instant, two balls of water light condensed in his palms.

Eight Trigrams Secret Scroll - Illusionary Wave Round Palm

Leng Feibai's hands moved in a flash, and countless streams of water surrounded him.

Seeing this, the four of them—Bingzhu, Xianzong, Yaowang, and Yutu—made their move simultaneously. The four-colored energy streams, along with their weapons and palm strikes, rushed towards Leng Feibai.

At the same time, Gu Shen and Li Shi rushed towards Leng Feibai. The former wielded his scythe and launched a rapid frontal attack, while the latter used unpredictable footwork to look for an opportunity to attack.

Leng Feibai focused intently, using the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique to observe the six elders' movements and changes, letting their attacks fall on him.

"So that's how it is! These are the six unique skills of the farming family!"

Leng Feibai's thoughts raced as he mobilized his internal energy, working in conjunction with the protective barrier of the Yuan Chen Pearl to resist the attacks of the six.

"Seven hundred and eighty-two, seven hundred and eighty-three..."

As Leng Feibai silently chanted in his mind, his hands continued to move rapidly, and the water in his palms gradually changed, transforming into a river that surrounded him, causing all the attacks to fall into the river.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand, one thousand and one..."

Having attacked this far, a bead of sweat appeared on Leng Feibai's forehead. At this moment, he was certain of one thing.

When they fought Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang, these six old men definitely went easy on them.

Otherwise, if such a deadly attack had been delivered to him when he had just killed Emperor Qing, he would probably have been torn to shreds.

Fortunately, through this relentless barrage of attacks, Leng Feibai gained another insight.

"ah"

A roar erupted, piercing straight into the sky.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the farming family, who were hiding near Daze Mountain, immediately rushed towards the Tomb of the Six Sages.

In that instant, the water in Leng Feibai's palm transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors. Five colors of light—blue, white, red, yellow, and black—flew out and formed five clones around Leng Feibai, each resembling a different river.

With clear minds, a sharp, five-colored sword aura transformed into a sword and appeared on their fingers.

The next moment, the six people rushed out at the same time. When the sword energy on their fingertips came into contact with the true qi vortex born from the twenty-fourth earth swamp, the true qi vortex was immediately split by the sword energy.

A flash of sword light appeared before the six elders' eyes, and the next moment, six sword energies were placed directly on their necks.

"Thanks for the advice!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, the six of them simultaneously withdrew and returned to the central area, reverting to being one person.

"puff"

The formation was broken, and the six elders simultaneously vomited blood. At the same time, footsteps could be heard coming from the passageway leading to this place.

Upon seeing this, Elder Li was about to say something.

Then Leng Feibai took out two jade bottles, one white and one red, from his bosom and tossed them to the Medicine King among the six.

"The pill in the white bottle is called the Creation and Life-Giving Pill. It can heal the injuries of the six seniors!"

Leng Feibai quickly replied, "As for the pill in the red bottle, it's called the Xuanhuang Longevity Pill. It can extend the lives of the six seniors by five years! Consider it my way of repaying you!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai's figure transformed into a wisp of black mist and flew directly out of the cave entrance at the top of the mountain.

As Leng Feibai disappeared, the six elders' eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Is this kid even human?"

The God of Grain looked at the hole in the sky above, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

At this moment, the Medicine King looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, smelled it, and exclaimed, "This little brat really gave us some good medicine. Do you think the pills in this red bottle can really extend our lives by five years?"

"What are you afraid of!
"Is there any poison in the world that could kill a farmer?" the historian said amiably.

After saying that, the six of them divided the pills among themselves and took them at the same time.

A surge of heat flowed through the bodies of all six people simultaneously.

In the blink of an eye, the six men were completely healed and felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, making them feel very comfortable.

Meanwhile, on the twelve-story martial arts platform...

Leng Feibai closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully digesting the battle with the six elders of the Farming Family and the ingenuity of the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches.

In the battle just now, Leng Feibai had an epiphany, transforming the five energies in his chest into physical radiance, and was able to use the radiance as a medium to create clones of equal strength to himself.

However, this move is extremely mentally taxing and cannot be used for extended periods.

"Now it's time to go into seclusion in peace!"

Leng Feibai opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "It's 226 BC now. This year was supposed to be the year Wang Jian forced the Yan state into Liaodong Commandery and behead Yan Dan. But because of me, none of these things will happen. I didn't receive any news of the Qin army's attack on Wei when I set off. But by the time I leave the pass, Wei will probably have been incorporated into the Qin territory."

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai conjured up three clones and sent them upstairs to retrieve some spatial artifacts to keep an eye on Wei.

Once the State of Wei is destroyed, quickly take away all the books in the Wei royal family's collection.

After sending away the three clones, Leng Feibai dispatched another clone to secretly keep an eye on Tian Guang. The clone was to rescue Tian Guang should he encounter an attack from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) in the future. This would be considered repaying the karmic debt he had incurred from learning the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches.

Having finished dealing with everything, Leng Feibai placed the Xuan Shui Pill and Bigu Pill that he had prepared earlier in front of him, thus beginning his secluded cultivation journey.

Meanwhile, inside the Tomb of the Six Sages, Tian Guang, the leader of the Farmer's Clan, walked out with a serious expression.

Based on the description given by the six elders of the farm, he vaguely felt that the guy who caused a ruckus at the Tomb of the Six Sages was Ji Yan's unfortunate younger brother, Ji Feibai.

But Elder Lishi said that the guy who sneaked into the Tomb of the Six Sages was a little black-haired child, which clearly doesn't match up.

Since Wang Jian withdrew his troops, Ji Feibai has completely disappeared. Although Tian Guang was curious about where the boy had gone, Ji Yan kept quiet about it, so he had no choice but to give up.

More than a year later, inside the Twelve-Story Tower, Leng Feibai, whose body was covered in a layer of ash, suddenly emitted a layer of colorful light.

The next moment, Leng Feibai's hair fluttered, and he drew twenty-three talismans in mid-air, which transformed into clones that landed around him and resonated with him at that instant.

The same Twenty-Four Earthly Arrays formed beneath them, undergoing various changes until the arrays ended.

Having finished practicing the formation, Leng Feibai canceled the clones around him, leaped into the air, and raised his hand to demonstrate.

In a short time, Leng Feibai demonstrated all five of his unique skills, except for the Medicine King's ability to absorb hundreds of herbs overnight.

"Its power is not bad, but unfortunately we can't use it!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he dispersed the clones around him and drew a cleansing talisman to clean himself.

During this period of seclusion, Leng Feibai successfully absorbed the experience gained from fighting the six elders of the farming family.

He also successfully comprehended the method of condensing the power of creation and destruction recorded in the "Five Elements and One Qi Divine Skill", and used the War God Manual to integrate all the offensive martial arts in his possession into a complete set of martial arts.

The only drawback was that during this seclusion, Leng Feibai still hadn't found the limit of breaking through 90% of the Qi of the five internal organs.

It seems that I can only wait until the next world, die once, and then use the method of physical disintegration to break through the barrier.

After finishing his seclusion, Leng Feibai did not rush to leave. Instead, he returned to the hot spring in the Twelve-Story Tower and soaked quietly. At the same time, he contacted the several clones he had sent out to see what time it was.

Soon, the several clones sent to the State of Wei quickly relayed the message back.

Since Leng Feibai went into seclusion, more than a year has passed in the outside world, and the Wei Kingdom is now engulfed in war.

According to the clone's estimate, in no more than two or three months, the State of Wei will completely become Qin's territory.

As for other things, the Yan state is doing quite well now.

Since Leng Feibai wiped out the nobles in Yan who had been exploiting the people, Yan Dan and Ji Yan had also implemented some reforms in Yan, which had barely improved the country's strength.

However, the Yan state currently lacks both capable ministers and generals, and it is feared that it will be difficult to withstand the Qin army's attack in three years.

After resting quietly for two days, Leng Feibai left the Twelve-Story Tower, returned to Sanghai City, and enjoyed a meal of shark fin soup with bear paw before embarking on his return journey towards the Heavenly Sect.

Ten days later, near a peach tree near Mount Taiyi, a Qin general who had come on horseback put down the girl from his horse and placed three buns wrapped in lotus leaves on a stone next to her.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes, looked at the steamed buns beside her, quickly picked one up and put it in her mouth, and for a moment recalled the figure of the rascal who had just brought her here.

Just then, another man walked by and glanced at the girl.

Upon seeing the man, the little girl shuddered and threw the bun in her hand at him.

"Snapped"

Leng Feibai caught it casually and said irritably, "Don't waste food, I'm not a bad person!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai returned the steamed bun to the girl.

The girl watched Leng Feibai's actions, took the steamed bun, and also saw the face of the person in front of her clearly.

In an instant, the girl felt a gentle, warm sun shining on her body.

"Big brother!"

The white-haired girl quickly asked, "Do you know where the Taoist Heavenly Sect is located?"

"Are you looking for the Heavenly Sect?"

Leng Feibai was taken aback upon hearing this. If he wasn't mistaken, the white-haired girl in front of him should be the future number one person of the Heavenly Sect, Master Xiaomeng.

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want to go to the Heavenly Sect?"

After hearing this, the girl bit her lip and said, "I want to become stronger and have a way to protect myself."

"There are many ways to become stronger, why come to the Heavenly Sect!"

"The person who brought me here said that the Heavenly Sect can give me a way to become stronger."

Hearing Xiaomeng's words, Leng Feibai nodded and then said, "Finish the buns, and then I'll take you to Tianzong."

The little girl looked doubtful after hearing this and asked curiously, "Really?"

"This humble Taoist, Qingyangzi, and the current sect leader of the Heavenly Sect, Chisongzi, are my senior brothers!"

Leng Feibai said lazily, "Alright, hurry up and finish your steamed buns. I'll take you back!"
