Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

However, because the five elements were never fully gathered and their attributes clashed with each other, each bolt of lightning appeared weak and powerless, almost as if it were useless!

Until Lin Quan gathered all five elements, the five soul rings rotated and generated one another, echoing each other and becoming a unified whole.

The long-dormant power of the Five Elements Thunder has finally awakened, surged, and exploded—its power suddenly increased several times over!

Even more astonishingly, the five rings can be melted down and forged into one, forming a supreme soul ring with an age approaching 200,000 years!

When the five elements are combined, even the forest and springs can attract the true divine thunder of the five elements!

Of course, the divine lightning he was currently wielding was probably less than one-thousandth the power of the heaven-and-earth level divine lightning recorded in ancient texts. Yet, even though it was only in its initial form, the destructive power it unleashed was already enough to make one's scalp tingle and one's mind tremble!

After all—that was the real power granted by a two-hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring!

The most crucial turning point occurs at the moment when all five elements converge:

The thunderous power that awakened within him unexpectedly merged, collapsed, and completely became one with his thunderous martial soul!

"What? It really fused...?"

When Lin Quan confirmed the change, Qiao Jingjing and the other two women were taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, their voices trembling slightly.

That's so bizarre!

This is absolutely unbelievable!

Not only were they speechless with shock, but Lin Quan himself was also caught off guard, his heart pounding.

He never expected that the power of thunder he had painstakingly cultivated for many years would sink into the origin of his martial soul without any hindrance at this moment, becoming one with it.

But upon closer reflection, it seems to make perfect sense—

His Thunder Martial Soul was forged by absorbing the essence of soul stones using his own thunder as a guide; fundamentally, they were born from the same source!

Now that the five elements are incomplete, the origin of the martial spirit is surging like a river. When the two converge, what barriers remain?

After the initial shock, a burning envy appeared in the eyes of all three women.

"Brother Quan's opportunity... is truly a gift from heaven!"

His martial spirit and lightning were completely integrated, and his cultivation level naturally improved, allowing him to leap into the Innate Realm in one fell swoop!

At this moment, Lin Quan's combat strength was firmly on par with Qiao Jingjing's.

The only thing they lack is the ability to adapt to changing circumstances after years of experience; but when it comes to explosive power, Qiao Jingjing wouldn't dare to say she'd win in a real fight.

The most likely outcome is a lose-lose situation, a mutual destruction...

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she blurted out:

"If my husband's martial spirit can be fused, then my eye martial spirit... can it also be merged with my spiritual power?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Yuyan's martial souls emphasize physical evolution, while Qiao Jingjing's are different—

Her twin martial souls are essentially the embodiment of spiritual power!

Mental power and mental power are essentially from the same source, only their forms differ.

Lin Quan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Jingjing's martial soul has a very high chance of succeeding on this path."

"As long as mental strength continues to improve, and the fundamental source and mental power achieve a perfect balance..."

"That will be the opportunity for the two to truly merge."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, his tone changing:

"Now is not the time to delve into this. The most urgent task is to gather the spirit rings we each need as soon as possible."

With Qiao Jingjing and Lin Quan's current innate realm, compared to the standards of this world, they are already comparable to Soul Saints and can withstand the seventh ring!

Although Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Yuyan were only one step away from the innate level, they could only carry a maximum of six rings before breaking through their limits.

Only by crossing that threshold can one truly be considered among the Soul Saints!

The four of them came here to borrow the power of the soul rings and break down that door in one fell swoop!

"My husband, and my two younger sisters, please rest assured."

"I'll keep watch tonight."

Everyone had just finished dinner when dusk began to fall.

Before Lin Quan could speak, Qiao Jingjing had already gotten up and taken over the duty.

Lin Quan naturally had no objection.

Putting aside her own combat strength, her perception ability, which covers an area of ​​hundreds of meters, allows her to grasp every little movement, making her more reliable than anyone else.

Beside them, Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived gracefully and sat down beside Lin Quan, their skirts fluttering lightly, their shoulders almost touching his arms. His gaze swept over them, then settled on Qiao Jingjing, scrutinizing her for a moment.

As the energy of the spirit rings continued to be tempered, Lin Quan himself, as well as Qiao Jingjing, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wang Yuyan, were undergoing rapid physical transformations—as if the hand of time had quietly sped things up, ushering in a silent yet surging second growth.

Lin Quan's height has quietly grown to 1.8 meters. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with well-proportioned muscles and bones. His body lines are like those of a knife and axe, exuding an almost demanding sense of harmony.

The changes in the three women were even more breathtaking: their faces became increasingly beautiful and ethereal, their figures more voluptuous and shapely, and their proportions more exquisite and flawless. Their heights all jumped to around 1.7 meters, and every movement exuded a flowing rhythm. Zhu Zhuqing was particularly striking—her already sharp and upright figure now possessed an added fullness and tension, her curves becoming even more angular yet supple, like a soft sword forged in fire, combining strength and gentleness without any sense of incongruity.

The four of them stood still like a painting, and moved like the wind, each with their own unique charm, attracting frequent glances from Lin Quan, who secretly admired them.

However, once the physical body reaches the critical point of reconstruction, the changes subside like the receding tide, and the benefits of absorbing more soul rings gradually diminish.

Lin Quan slowly withdrew his gaze, his mind sinking as he gathered all his energy into his body. The return of the five elements was not only the fusion of thunder and martial spirit, but also the advancement of his entire body into a new realm—deep within his dantian, the originally ethereal true energy was now imbued with the five-colored halos of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, merging layer by layer to condense into a vast and powerful innate five-element true energy!

Riding the momentum, the space between his brows suddenly opened up—the Purple Mansion was initially formed, and his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was opened!

With a slight thought, his mind drifted into it. He saw that his sea of ​​consciousness was only a few feet in size, filled with gray mist, as if it were still primordial chaos; wisps of misty spiritual energy floated and flowed like gossamer threads…

The instant his consciousness entered, his gaze was instantly and firmly captured by something in the center—

A bronze mirror, about the size of eight palms, with an ancient bluish-gray hue, was etched with dense, mysterious patterns that resembled symbols. It slowly floated in the sea of ​​consciousness, its light and shadow shifting.

It is the very essence of the Time-Space Mirror!

"So it had been lurking here all along..."

"The mark on the back of my hand is just a projection of it."

Looking inward, he felt his energy surging like a river flowing into the sea, and the sensation of his strength increasing dramatically was clearly tangible. Lin Quan's lips curled up, and a silent smile spread across his face.

Time slips silently through our fingers.

During this time, he consumed two level-two crystal cores to stabilize his cultivation level and strengthen his foundation.

At dawn the next day, while the sky was still blue, Lin Quan's eyes were already bright, and he suddenly opened them.

With a slight sway, without making a sound, he quietly stood beside Qiao Jingjing: "Go wash up first, I'll take care of breakfast."

Qiao Jingjing nodded in agreement, then quickly got up and fetched a bucket to fill with water.

Although the four entered the forest empty-handed, everything was already prepared in the mirror space—iron pots and earthenware bowls, soapberry wood combs, bamboo buckets and cotton towels, firewood, rice, oil and salt, all in order.
