Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 31 Five Elements Escape Technique

Wei Zhenlong was the only son of the Demon Flame Sect's leader, and possessed astonishing talent. He had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before the age of forty, and had also cultivated the Demon Flame Sect's core inherited technique, the Seven-Turn Demon Flame, to the fourth stage. Naturally, he was greatly favored. His storage bag was much larger than that of ordinary cultivators, and it contained many treasures.

Lei Ming scanned Wei Zhenlong's storage bag with his divine sense and found that there were nearly a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Such wealth was something that even a Core Formation stage cultivator could not match.

What Lei Ming valued was not the spirit stones, but other treasures.

"This should be a wood-attribute spiritual object, and this one is a metal-attribute spiritual object..."

Lei Ming found two treasures, one radiating strong wood-attribute spiritual energy and the other radiating metal-attribute spiritual energy. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, both treasures were stronger than the Heavenly Flower Stone he had obtained before.

"How did he come to collect spiritual items of the five elements?"

Lei Ming was somewhat puzzled. He didn't know that these two treasures were intended by Wei Zhenlong to refine his natal magic weapon. Wei Zhenlong was very confident in achieving Core Formation, so he had been collecting treasures for a long time to prepare for his future natal magic weapon. Unexpectedly, his painstaking efforts benefited Lei Ming.

"Every cause has its effect. If you hadn't sent someone to ambush me, how would these things have ended up in my hands?"

Lei Ming checked the other storage bags and was surprised to find that they also contained elemental spiritual items. It wasn't until he pulled a book from Senior Brother Wang's storage bag that he understood the reason. This book recorded Senior Brother Wang's experiences, especially his battles over the past ten years.

"The six sects of the Demonic Path are much stronger than the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, and they occupy a wider area. They have collected more cultivation resources, and they have quite a few Five Elements spiritual items..."

Lei Ming's eyes lit up; he had long harbored the idea of ​​leaving Yue Kingdom. In the entire mortal realm, Yue Kingdom was just a very small place.

"The Demon Flame Sect has two bases in Yuanwu Kingdom and one in Jiang Kingdom. The Jiang Kingdom base has a Core Formation stage cultivator stationed there, but the Demon Flame Sect's base does not." Senior Brother Wang's book contained a lot of information, which also gave Lei Ming a lot of information.

Yuanwu Kingdom borders Yue Kingdom and is also a key target for invasion by the demonic path. However, at this time, a full-scale war has not yet begun, and the demonic path is worried about attracting the attention of the righteous path, so it has not sent any Core Formation stage cultivators to Yuanwu Kingdom.

The Demon Flame Sect has assigned three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators to guard the two outposts of the Yuanwu Kingdom.

A five-colored rainbow came from the west and landed in the forests of Fuzhou in Yuanwu Kingdom, where Lei Ming's figure appeared.

"It's only two hundred miles from here to Shuiyue City, so I'd better keep a low profile."

Lei Ming concealed his aura and rode his horse along the official road towards Shuiyue City. One of the Demon Flame Sect's bases in Yuanwu Kingdom was located in Shuiyue City.

Shuiyue City is located in the center of Yuanwu Kingdom, with very convenient transportation and many merchant caravans coming and going. Lei Ming encountered six or seven caravans along the way. Some of these caravans were run by mortals, while others had backgrounds with cultivators. Lei Ming tried to avoid them as much as possible and just kept on his way.

As night fell, Lei Ming found an open space and lit a campfire. The firelight shone on his face as he closed his eyes in deep thought.

"The Five Elements Divine Light is mainly for sealing and suppressing, and is actually not suitable for traveling. I previously combined it with the Flying Dao Technique to create the Five-Colored Rainbow Flying Method, which was a bit of a waste of its potential."

Lei Ming recalled Wei Zhenlong's Blood Escape technique and gained some inspiration.

"In terms of escape techniques, this world is not lacking in such spells; Earth Release, Wood Release, and Fire Release spells are quite common. Since that's the case, why don't I deduce these spells, combine them with the Five Elements Divine Light, and create an even more powerful escape technique?"

Lei Ming also possesses some escape techniques. He travels the cultivation world, firstly to search for various five-elemental spiritual herbs, and secondly to collect various cultivation methods, formations, weapon crafting techniques, and alchemy techniques. He currently does not have time to study formations, weapon crafting, and alchemy techniques, but when he returns to the Primordial World, he can pass these on to his clansmen to enhance their strength.

Lei Ming first activated Earth Escape Technique. Earth Escape Technique is the most common escape technique in the cultivation world. Cultivators with earth-attribute spiritual roots can use it, and the effect varies from person to person. However, even the most powerful Earth Escape Technique is easily countered. Firstly, it is slow, and secondly, it does not penetrate the earth deeply enough, making it easy to be injured by other spells.

Lei Ming quickly mastered the Earth Escape Technique, silently disappearing into the earth and moving freely within it. However, the underground terrain was complex, containing not only earth but also metal and stone objects; without caution, one could easily be injured.

Lei Ming shook his head and began to try to combine the Earth Element Divine Light with the Earth Escape Technique. The Earth Element Divine Light was transformed from the Earth Attribute Source among the Five Elements Source, and it could encompass all Earth Element Techniques. Lei Ming quickly incorporated the Earth Escape Technique into the Divine Light, and a few patterns slowly appeared in the Divine Light.

"For the Five Elements Divine Light to grow, it needs to devour five elemental spiritual objects, but it also needs to accommodate more five elemental spells." Lei Ming finally understood.

Lei Ming has no complete lineage or master, and his cultivation path is different from that of this world, so he has to figure most of it out on his own.

That's why Lei Ming was extremely cautious, afraid of taking the wrong path.

In less than an hour, the Earth Escape Technique merged with the Earth Element Divine Light. Lei Ming tried it out, and with a flash of yellow light, he appeared a mile away.

"This is the real Earth Escape Technique!" Lei Ming was overjoyed. The Five Elements Dao originally included the Five Elements Escape Technique, and the exquisite nature of the Five Elements Escape Technique filled him with immense joy.

After finishing his Earth Escape technique, Lei Ming began practicing Fire Escape. Just then, a caravan came from afar and stopped near Lei Ming.

"Friend, we've been traveling all night, and our companions are exhausted. We'd like to rest here for the night without disturbing you," a short, stout old man with a long beard said as he stepped out of the caravan. He was very polite.

"Please do as you wish," Lei Ming said calmly, his mind absorbed in fire-based spells.

"You're so rude." A little girl jumped out from behind the old man. She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but she already had the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining, so her talent should be quite good.

Lei Ming ignored her, which made the girl even angrier, but the old man pulled her back in time.

"When you're out and about, don't worry too much. Xiao Nuan, go and help take care of the others," the old man said.

The little girl named Xiao Nuan left indignantly, and soon the caravan lit a bonfire.

"Second Miss, this spell is amazing! The fire flared up instantly!"

"This is called a fireball spell, a magic of immortals. It can burn a hole in the steel plate of a carriage!"

Xiao Nuan used the fireball spell to start a fire, and a group of people around her complimented her, which made her very proud and enjoyed it.

"Hey, look! That person can use magic too!" A maid pointed at Lei Ming, and everyone looked over. They saw flames burning on Lei Ming's body, and his body was twitching and twisting with the flames.

"Second Miss, what kind of magic is this?" the maid asked.

Xiao Nuan couldn't understand Lei Ming's spell, but she still forced herself to say, "This is also a fire-attribute spell, similar to my fireball spell. I can do it too."

"Really, little girl?" Lei Ming suddenly stepped out from the caravan's campfire and appeared in front of Xiao Nuan, startling her.

"Who is the little girl?" Xiao Nuan was scared, but she didn't beg for mercy. "I'll definitely be able to do that in the future. I've only just started learning magic, and I'm not familiar with it yet."

"Xiao Nuan, stop talking nonsense and apologize to your senior immediately," the short, stout old man appeared and immediately scolded.

Xiao Nuan pouted and mumbled something.

The short, stout old man was quite helpless. He bowed to Lei Ming and said, "Senior, Xiao Nuan is ignorant and her words have been offensive. Please forgive her this time, considering her youth and ignorance."

The short, stout old man was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, but he couldn't sense Lei Ming's presence at all, immediately realizing that Lei Ming was at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Having traveled the cultivation world, he knew of many powerful cultivators who would kill and exterminate entire clans in a fit of rage.

Lei Ming didn't speak. His figure transformed into a streak of fire and scattered with a bang. When everyone looked at him again, he had already returned to his original place.

Seeing this, the short, stout old man breathed a sigh of relief and warned the others not to approach Lei Ming. But late at night, Xiao Nuan secretly went to Lei Ming's side.

"Can you teach me the spell you just used?" Xiao Nuan looked up at him, her eyes full of innocence.

"Do you really want to learn?" Lei Ming asked with a smile.

Xiao Nuan nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, I'll explain it to you for two hours. Whether you can learn it or not is up to you."
