Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 112 The Perfection of the Five Elements
Inside the Purple Cloud Cave, Taoist energy flowed, and the divine light of the Five Elements shone brightly.

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged beneath the two top-grade innate spiritual roots.

His aura had completely calmed down, as if he had merged with the entire world, becoming one with it.

His already perfect and flawless Taiyi Dao Fruit slowly rotated within his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The five distinct yet mutually reinforcing and restraining fundamental Dao principles finally achieved an unprecedented perfect balance at this moment!
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!

The five vital energies within his chest had all been fully condensed and perfected!

"boom--!"

Just as that last wisp of Jia and Yi wood energy, representing liver wood, was completely stabilized within Ma Yuan's Dao fruit.

A terrifying aura, far surpassing anything before, erupted from his body!
Late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal!

A vast, pure magical power, balanced by the five elements, surged and flowed through his limbs and bones.

Ultimately, it transformed into a divine light of the Five Elements that surrounded him, constantly arising and revolving!

Once this divine light appears, it is impervious to all magic and repels all evil!
Its internal five elements rotate in a self-contained cycle, endlessly regenerating.

Without needing any external force, one can draw upon the most primordial chaotic spiritual energy in the void and make it one's own!

From then on, Ma Yuanna's foundation was already incredibly solid, and he finally made up for the last shortcoming, leaving no flaws or imperfections whatsoever!

However, the breakthrough in realm was merely a trivial embellishment in comparison to the gains of Ma Yuan's long seclusion.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Those deep eyes held neither sorrow nor joy.

In my left eye, it seemed as if the sun was rising, yang energy was growing, and all things were flourishing.

In the right eye, however, it seemed as if a bright moon hung in the sky, filled with yin energy, and all was silent.

Yin and Yang, life and death.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, life and death constantly revolved, expounding some supreme and profound principle that directly points to the origin of the Great Dao.

During this seclusion, he not only completed his own Five Elements Dao.

Furthermore, he digested and absorbed all the supreme and profound laws concerning the operation of the world's origin, such as "creation," "destruction," "order," and "balance," which he had comprehended when the nascent Heavenly Dao of the Purple Jewel World was born, and integrated them into his own already perfected Great Dao of Cause and Effect!

In a moment of divine inspiration, he created a supreme divine power in that state of enlightenment where he was completely absorbed in the world, a power that would make any great being tremble with fear!
Ma Yuan slowly raised his right hand and gently tapped the empty space in front of him.

"Reversing Yin and Yang"

He muttered to himself softly, his voice calm, yet it seemed to contain an undeniable power that made his words law.

As he finished speaking, no earth-shattering phenomenon occurred in the void he had pointed to.

Only a mysterious and intangible Daoist aura rippled outwards like waves on water.

In a corner of the cave, an ordinary spiritual root that had withered and died tens of thousands of years ago has sprouted new green shoots.

This supernatural power seems to be reversing yin and yang, and turning life and death upside down.

However, its true foundation is neither the Yin-Yang Dao nor the Law of Time.

Rather, it is the more supreme and mysterious path of cause and effect!

It is called Yin and Yang, but in reality it is cause and effect!
This is the highest level of understanding that Ma Yuan has been able to achieve on the Great Dao of Cause and Effect so far!
The mystery of the Five Elements Cause and Effect Master of the past lies in "determination".

Every cause has a consequence!
The terrifying aspect of this "reversal of yin and yang" technique lies in its "usurpation"!
Distorting cause and effect, words become law!
The cause that the spiritual root's lifespan had ended was forcibly erased from the laws of this world by Ma Yuan's supernatural power. It was replaced by a new cause: "This root has a long life force and its lifespan has not yet ended!"

Once the cause is changed, the consequences will naturally change as well.

However, if this supernatural power could be perfected to its fullest extent...

It can even forcefully reverse the predetermined "effect" into "cause" on the very foundation of the Great Dao!
It is no longer a simple alteration, but a true reversal of cause and effect.

At that time, you only need to set a "result" in your mind, such as "a certain great enemy has died and disappeared".

Then the laws of heaven and earth will be forcibly distorted, automatically supplementing them with the most reasonable "cause".

Perhaps it's a case of going astray in cultivation, or perhaps it's a calamity descending from the heavens... all sorts of possibilities will arise in response to one's thoughts.

This makes its "death" a logical and natural outcome!

"However, with my current level of cultivation, I can only reverse cause and effect on a small scale, and the cost is huge, so I cannot use it lightly."

Ma Yuan slowly withdrew his finger, and the distorted void returned to calm.

He could clearly feel that what he had just used was only the tip of the iceberg of this supernatural power, and a lot of his magical power had already been drained away.

"Very well, the supernatural power is already complete. In the future, all I need to do is diligently refine it, and there will eventually be a day when it is fully realized."

He stopped dwelling on it and slowly got up from the futon.

The gains from this retreat far exceeded his expectations.

Zi Yingtian's successful advancement to the Middle Thousand World not only laid the most solid foundation for him to open up the remaining twenty-three worlds in the future.

Furthermore, it enabled him to master the supreme method of incense and vow power during the evolution of that world, thus opening up an alternative path for himself to cultivate both immortality and divine power.

And his own cultivation level also broke through to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal by taking advantage of this opportunity.

From then on, the five elements were perfectly balanced, without any flaws.

Now, the threshold to the Great Luo Realm is no longer as vague and ethereal as it once was, but has become incredibly clear and real to him!

"But who knows how many years have passed since this seclusion began..."

Ma Yuan suddenly had a feeling, and immediately made a calculation with his fingers inside the Purple Cloud Cave.

The vast and ever-changing mysteries of the heavens flowed slowly through his fingertips.

A moment later, even with his current calm and unwavering Dao heart, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

"It's...almost a whole era?!"

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of undisguised surprise.

In the primordial era, years were not recorded, yet a single cycle lasted a full 129,600 years!
Such a long period of time is not a short time even for those powerful beings of the primordial era who often go into seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years.

"No wonder my Purple Necklace World has evolved so perfectly in such a short period of time."

Ma Yuan understood immediately and didn't linger for a moment.

He knew that after such a long period of seclusion, it was time to return to Skull Mountain and see the dojo he had been away from for so long.

With a thought, he vanished from the secluded Purple Cloud Cave.
