Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 421 The Unity of the Five Elements (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

He sat cross-legged in the center of the "Chaos Palace," surrounded by countless shimmering runes and formations.

The entire palace was filled with a rich blend of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Li Yunjing was completely immersed in his understanding of the Five Elements Dao, and the profound meanings of various Five Elements techniques kept appearing in his mind.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—the five elements—generate and restrain each other, intertwining to form the foundation of all things in heaven and earth.

The Five Elements are the foundation of all matter.

Everything in the world, from a blade of grass and a grain of sand to rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, and plains, is composed of the five elements.

The principles of the Five Elements are profound and extensive. If one can thoroughly understand and master them, one will have a solid foundation for cultivation and prepare for rapid progress in the future.

Li Yunjing reviewed all the Five Elements techniques he had learned.

Having made up his mind, he started with "gold," which represents killing and ruthlessness, and is incomparably sharp.

Li Yunjing began to try to integrate all his supernatural powers and spells related to the "metal element".

His body was originally filled with the power of thunder, but now, in order to perfectly master the Five Elements Dao, the form of his true energy has changed.

From the power of thunder and the five elements, it began to transform into countless sharp golden sword energies.

These golden sword energies coursed through Li Yunjing's meridians, as if trying to cut off all obstacles.

As his understanding of the Great Way of Gold deepened, his sword energy gradually solidified, transforming into countless small golden swords that hovered around him.

If anyone were to enter the "Chaos Palace," they would be instantly cleaved into pieces by countless sword energies.

Next, the vital energy in Li Yunjing's body shifted to "wood".

Wood represents life, and life goes on endlessly.

The cultivator's body is rich in wood elemental energy, resulting in a long lifespan.

Among cultivators, those who practice wood-based techniques generally have a longer lifespan than those who practice other systems.

In the world of cultivation, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage enjoy a lifespan of five hundred years.

This is a rough estimate and is representative of a general trend.

But it's not the only one!

Each person's health depends on their own constitution, whether they have been injured or depleted of vital energy, the attributes of the cultivation techniques they practice, what pills they have taken, what rare and precious materials they have obtained to nourish their body, or what special magical treasures they possess to nourish themselves.

All of the above, along with other special circumstances, determine how long a cultivator can live.

In the world of cultivation, there was once someone who lived to be eight hundred years old while still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Whether this is the highest is unknown!

As for the short-lived Foundation Establishment cultivators?
There are many more.

Some people were even beaten to death right after breaking through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

In this situation, it all depends on one's fate and luck.

Li Yunjing transformed the true essence within his body, turning the internal energy into streams of vibrant green energy that nourished his meridians and physical body.

His body seemed to transform into a towering tree, with deep roots and lush foliage, its vitality inexhaustible.

Within the "Chaos Palace," an unusual phenomenon even appeared: lush, leafy trees were everywhere, making the place resemble a dense forest.

Then Li Yunjing's true essence changed again, showing the power of "water".

Water is gentle and resilient, encompassing all things.

Li Yunjing's true essence transformed into streams of soft black water, slowly flowing through his meridians.

Although the water is gentle, it contains infinite power, as if it can encompass and resolve everything.

Then comes "fire".

Fire is intense and burns everything.

Li Yunjing mastered two third-tier techniques, "Heavenly Fire Divine Flame Seal" and "Fire Dragon Divine Light Transformation," and also cultivated the supreme divine power of "Samadhi True Fire."

It can be said that Li Yunjing has gone very far in the cultivation of the "Great Path of Fire" and is extremely powerful.

At this moment, all the supernatural powers and spells merged together, and the true energy within Li Yunjing's body transformed into clusters of blazing flames, burning his meridians and physical body.

The goal is to burn away all the impurities in his body and purify it.

The scorching flames were perfectly controlled by Li Yunjing, transforming into streams of pure energy that flowed into his upper, middle, and lower dantian.

Purify your body to the greatest extent possible, from the inside out, without harming yourself.

After repeatedly burning it for three days and three nights, Li Yunjing felt it was about time. His magical power changed again, transforming into the "Great Dao of Earth".

Earth is heavy and substantial, bearing all things.

Li Yunjing circulated his earth-elemental true energy, and the true energy within his body transformed into thick, yellow streams of energy, stabilizing his meridians and physical body.

At this moment, his body seemed to transform into a majestic mountain, indestructible and incredibly heavy.

The power of the five elements circulated continuously within Li Yunjing's body, merging with each other and gradually forming a delicate balance.

His mind was completely immersed in this mysterious state, as if he had become one with heaven and earth.

As time went by, the power of the five elements within Li Yunjing's body became increasingly solid, gradually transforming into a mass of chaotic energy.

This chaotic energy slowly circulated in his middle dantian, seemingly transforming into an origin point.

That origin point was formed by the intertwining of black and white energies.

This is the original Yin and Yang energies.

Amidst the intertwining of Yin and Yang energies, five-colored divine rays continuously shot forth.

It seems that this origin point contains immense power, constantly exploding.

"Boom!"

Within his body, in his middle dantian, in the heart region, the pulsating power was like the muffled sound of a drum.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The force of his heartbeat grew stronger and faster, and with each heartbeat, the energy circulating throughout Li Yunjing's body became increasingly violent!

My whole being was like a raging storm, a hurricane, or a tsunami in the East China Sea!
The five elements of vital energy converged towards the heart, and this vital energy continued to strengthen Li Yunjing's body.

His body was originally a Thunder God Body, but after being cleansed again by the Five Elements Qi that formed the foundation, the shackles on Li Yunjing's physical body seemed to have loosened.

His body became even stronger, his speed, strength, agility, power... he became powerful in every aspect!
This surpasses the limits that Foundation Establishment cultivators can reach!
"The five elements united, and chaos was first created!"

Li Yunjing was startled and suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

He felt that the five elements within his body had completely merged and transformed into a brand new power.

This power encompasses the characteristics of the Five Elements, yet transcends their limitations, seemingly capable of evolving all things and encompassing everything.

"This is my ultimate Five Elements technique!"

Li Yunjing was extremely excited.

He stood up, formed hand seals, and the five elements of his body erupted instantly, transforming into a powerful force that swept across the entire "Chaos Palace".

All the treasures, restrictions, and formations within the palace awakened under the influence of this power, resisting this terrifying force!

Within Li Yunjing's heart, a "yin-yang double fish diagram" appeared.

In the center of this "Yin-Yang Double Fish Diagram", the two fish rotate, and the Yin and Yang energies circulate. Outside of the Yin and Yang energies, there are the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, which circulate outside.

The five elements transformed into surging power, and as the "Yin-Yang Double Fish Diagram" rotated, they all changed from five-colored divine light to black and white.

"The Five Elements reverse their innate nature and transform into Yin and Yang energies. Yin and Yang energies then transform again, resulting in chaos!"

Li Yunjing was filled with confidence.

This is the road that leads directly to the main road!
He has found his direction!
Now, as long as Li Yunjing follows this path and succeeds, his path will be complete.

However, this path is extremely difficult. Li Yunjing has only just begun to understand it, and is still far from achieving any significant progress. It is simply unimaginable for him to hope for any great path.

Even just getting a glimpse of the basics is incredibly beneficial for Li Yunjing.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can be combined into one force, truly unleashing the power that Li Yunjing should possess.

Instead of the previous situation where his strength was scattered and Li Yunjing felt powerless to launch a full-blown attack, he was now able to do so effectively.

The drawback of this is that the power is dispersed and cannot be united.

Now, Li Yunjing can finally integrate his five elements into a unified whole.

"The power within my body has been unified, and I can use this power to break through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

After calming down a bit, Li Yunjing decided to continue his seclusion to further consolidate his cultivation and break through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If we succeed in breaking through, our strength will surely leap forward once again!
His strong foundation ensured that every breakthrough he made was a leap forward!
With his Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven cultivation, he could kill a Golden Core Realm Second Heaven cultivator! If he were to advance further, Li Yunjing was certain that with his strength, he could definitely kill those Golden Core Realm Third Heaven cultivators without using his trump cards.

If he were to unleash all his treasures, even a cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm would likely find it difficult to survive against Li Yunjing!

The agreement with the Taoist nun of "Guanghan Palace" is that the guillotine could fall on your head at any moment!

This century-long agreement compels Li Yunjing to improve his cultivation and combat power as much as possible in a short period of time, travel to the far north, and obtain the promised treasure.

Otherwise, Li Yunjing would be in big trouble.

The methods of a Nascent Soul Realm expert are beyond Li Yunjing's ability to counter!
Having sorted out what he needed to do next, Li Yunjing once again immersed himself in his understanding of the "Five Elements Dao" and the "Thunder Dao".

In the days that followed, Li Yunjing was completely immersed in cultivation.

He continuously deduced the power of the Five Elements, attempting to integrate more supernatural powers and Taoist techniques into his Five Elements Taoist methods, deepening his understanding of "Five Elements Seal," "Five-Colored Divine Light," "Five Elements Divine Fist," and so on.

The effects of "Five Elements in One" are incredibly significant, especially when combined with the power of thunder within the divine body. Cultivating both internal and external strength brings comfort to the whole body, with warm currents flowing through Li Yunjing's divine body.

In the end, Li Yunjing felt as if he were in a vast ocean, his body burning hot, his pores opening wide, and he began a new transformation.

When Li Yunjing opened his eyes, his gaze was radiant, as if he could see scenes different from the ordinary.

The space was layered upon layered, and every blade of grass, every tree, every grain of sand, and every stone was completely different from what he usually saw.

It seems that it can see through the structure, just like looking into one's own divine body, and has an unusual visual perception.

Seven-colored divine light shone brightly on Li Yunjing's body.

"Bang bang bang..."

With a series of soft cracking sounds, Li Yunjing felt that his cultivation level had finally broken through!
The eighth level of the foundation building realm!

"Finally it worked!"

Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

By examining his body internally, Li Yunjing clearly felt that his strength had increased several times over, and the five elements and thunder power within his body had become more solid.

His divine sense could now cover a much wider area, allowing him to see everything within a thirty-mile radius.

Such divine sense is already comparable to that of the first level of the Golden Core Realm.

The Thunder God Body has also made a qualitative leap and is definitely no weaker than a Golden Core Realm body cultivator.

Li Yunjing felt that even if he relied solely on his physical strength to fight against a Golden Core cultivator head-on, even a cultivator at the Third Heaven might not have a stronger divine body than him!
He was confident he could tear his opponent apart with his bare hands!
In terms of magical power, Li Yunjing has countless elixirs and rare treasures to nourish him, making his magical power abundant. He could probably fight for three months without running out of magical power when using ordinary supernatural abilities and spells.

Of course, this is not the limit of spellcasting.

If he were to use supreme supernatural powers such as "Samadhi True Fire" or "Three Heads and Six Arms," ​​the consumption of magical power would increase exponentially, and the time Li Yunjing could sustain would become shorter and shorter.

However, Li Yunjing was already quite satisfied with this divine physical state.

He felt nothing more about his friends Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing's impending breakthrough to the Golden Core realm.

He used to feel a pang of sadness.

Now that his friends have broken through to the Golden Core Realm, they are still below him, yet he can still overpower them. This makes Li Yunjing very happy.

"Next, I will continue to refine my Five Elements Dao Technique, break through the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and prepare for the Golden Core Realm!"

Li Yunjing was filled with fighting spirit.

The road ahead is long, and there is so much for Li Yunjing to learn.

Over the next ten days, Li Yunjing stabilized his cultivation and raised his true essence to the mid-stage of the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm before ending his seclusion.

It flew out from the "Purple Gold Gourd".

Li Yunjing appeared in the backyard of "Star Moon Trading Company". With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw Zhao Qi, Li Linzi, and the business in the store.

The store is doing pretty well!

Li Yunjing took out his "message talisman" and sent out the message summoning Zhao Qi.

"My husband, you've emerged from seclusion!"

After many days, Zhao Qi was overjoyed to see Li Yunjing again.

Having not seen Zhao Qi for many days, Li Yunjing sat in a chair, sizing up the beautiful woman. Her light blue robe perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure.

This woman had a pair of large, watery eyes that sparkled with a captivating charm. Li Yunjing, who hadn't tasted meat in a long time, felt a surge of heat in his heart.

"She's a real beauty!"

Li Yunjing secretly admired him in his heart.

"Yes! After cultivating for so long, I've successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm! I'm about to tell you something before heading back to 'Divine Firmament Island'!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, reached out and pulled Zhao Qi's delicate body into his arms, sitting her on his lap.

"Are you leaving?"

Zhao Qi's bright eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness.

"Yes! But my term has ended! I'll come back for you after I make my trip to 'Divine Firmament Island' and 'Holy Sound Island'!"

Li Yunjing smiled.

"Stay with me for three more days before you leave!"

Zhao Qi turned around on Li Yunjing's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, spoke in a soft voice, and exuded a faint fragrance.

Zhao Qi's hands roamed over Li Yunjing's body.

Her soft little hands were a little cold, and this special touch gave Li Yunjing a special feeling.

The ice-type cultivator felt icy cold, but the rising desire brought a fiery sensation—it was truly a legendary experience of both ice and fire!

"Okay! I'll stay for three days!"

Li Yunjing had no particular thoughts about his woman. Since she needed his comfort, he would simply satisfy her.

Otherwise, people might think he's incompetent.

The two arrived in the bedroom almost instantly.

That brand-new bed had never been used before; this was the first time Li Yunjing, the owner, had used it.

Now that her clothes were off, Li Yunjing looked at Zhao Qi again and found her even more charming and sexy.

The beautiful woman's long, black hair, as black as clouds, was naturally draped over her shoulders. Her entire body was cool to the touch, with alternating hot and cold sensations, which was quite peculiar, just like touching a smooth block of ice.

Li Yunjing had already tried the hot, delicate body.

It was icy cold, a first for me, and it had a unique flavor.

Lying next to Zhao Qi, Li Yunjing's body was as hot as a furnace, a peculiar combination of ice and fire.

Li Yunjing's anger flared, and Zhao Qi was in no better shape.

She was almost melted by the intense heat emanating from Li Yunjing; her husband was like a flame, making it hard to breathe.

Zhao Qi felt an unbearable discomfort.

It seems that at this moment, she needs to find a way to completely release her pent-up emotions in order to feel better.

Three days of intensive retreat!
Under the guidance of a master like Li Yunjing, Zhao Qi's cultivation improved dramatically, transforming her from someone who was completely clueless to someone with highly skilled moves.

Li Yunjing was deeply moved by the contrast between hot and cold, ice and fire.

Zhao Qi is a master, with extraordinary comprehension; she has a bright future ahead of her!

Three days!

For three whole days, almost not a single second was wasted.

Nothing from the outside world could disturb the two people who were focused on their cultivation.

With Li Yunjing's help, Zhao Qi gained some understanding of the Five Elements and the power of thunder, especially the mutation of the water spiritual root, which she could apply to other things and would greatly benefit her future cultivation.

Oh my god, I didn't write much and 200 words were deleted. That's terrible!
I never expected that after fooling the machine review, I would be caught by the human review.

The solution I came up with after racking my brains failed again.

My imagination is vivid!

All gone.

Fortunately, they only deleted part of my content at 11 a.m., and everyone who was supposed to have seen it had already done so.

Driving is so difficult now; you can't drive too slowly!
It's so miserable!
Since I've already deleted it, I might as well ask for some monthly votes!
Hey everyone, please give me some monthly tickets!

Poor thing, you're a total loser!
I haven't seen 1000 monthly votes yet.
