Chapter 137: Five Elements Reverse Curse

Liu Haodong's words made Wang Ping's heart itch, and he directly sent a voice transmission asking:

"Can the Five Elements be cultivated together?"

Liu Haodong thought for a moment and said: "As long as one possesses the Five Spirit Roots, one can cultivate the Five Elements together!"

"Five Elements Spirit Root! How does one cultivate immortality with a Five Elements Spirit Root?" Wang Ping's voice transmission carried a hint of exclamation.

Liu Haodong glanced at Wang Ping, thinking perhaps Lan Dage's background wasn't good!

But he replied without delay, sending a voice transmission: "The Five Elements can naturally be cultivated together, and cultivating the Five Elements together makes progress extremely fast, while also possessing spiritual power far surpassing that of peers. The prerequisite is that this cultivator possesses a Five Elements Spirit Root, but Five Elements Spirit Roots appear once every ten thousand years in the Spirit Realm, so most cultivators are unaware."

Wang Ping continued asking: "Could Ge Dongyi's older brother possibly possess a Five Elements Spirit Root? According to what you say, shouldn't his older brother have been taken in early by those great experts?"

Liu Haodong shook his head and continued: "His older brother isn't a true Five Elements Spirit Root, but rather has four spirit roots—metal, wood, water, fire—while his last spirit root was refined using a Nascent Soul-level earth-attribute demon core and a decent earth-attribute spiritual object, barely counting as a Five Elements Spirit Root! But this method differs vastly from a genuine Five Elements Spirit Root."

Wang Ping felt shocked beyond words upon hearing this—spirit roots can actually be refined postnatally? Wouldn't that mean disciples of the great clans in the Spirit Realm could all do this?

Finally, he dismissed his guess; it probably isn't that simple, otherwise Liu Haodong would likely have become a Five Elements Spirit Root himself.

Indeed, the next moment Liu Haodong continued: "Even artificially produced Five Spirit Roots are hard to succeed, involving the spirit roots' rejection reaction! However, artificially produced Five Spirit Roots are not all inferior to genuine Five Elements Spirit Roots! If one follows the Five Elements Reverse Curse to induce a Five Elements Spirit Root, it matches the genuine Five Elements Spirit Root in every aspect."

Wang Ping's eyes flickered slightly; Liu Haodong's earlier mention of the Five Elements Reverse Curse gave him a vague association, and he continued asking:

"Five Elements Reverse Curse? What kind of secret technique is that!"

Liu Haodong laughed and sent a voice transmission: "That is a secret technique that can reversely induce Five Elements Spirit Roots; they are respectively the Reverse Fire Curse, Reverse Water Curse, Reverse Wood Curse, Reverse Metal Curse, Reverse Earth Curse, collectively called the Five Elements Reverse Curse. However, the prerequisite for using it is that the caster must be a single spirit root, in order to use the corresponding curse!"

Wang Ping thought to himself, indeed, the Reverse Fire Curse is one of the Five Elements Reverse Curses.

Ge Dongyi saw that the Lan-surnamed cultivator, after he spoke, not only did not respond, but instead was chatting and laughing via voice transmission with his mortal enemy Liu Haodong.

As the young master of the Ge family, when had he ever suffered such being ignored? He couldn't help but speak again: "You seem not to have answered my question yet!"

Wang Ping was being attracted by the information Liu Haodong had thrown out; he had no time to bother with him, and directly flung the Overturn Heaven Seal in his hand, smashing it toward Ge Dongyi.

The dozen or so people opposite changed expression greatly, and all took out their Dharma Treasures to attack the Overturn Heaven Seal.

The Overturn Heaven Seal, now enlarged to three zhang in size, had crystal light flowing on its treasure body, and all the attacks were bounced off.

The first wave of attacks had no effect; they had already lost the initiative, and the Overturn Heaven Seal directly came crashing down on Ge Dongyi and his companions!

Liu Haodong saw the situation, wanted to remind them, but thinking that Lan Ge had after all saved them, doing so seemed a bit inappropriate, so he dared not speak.

In fact, Wang Ping had no intention of killing Ge Dongyi; his killer instinct wasn't that strong yet.

He merely used the great seal to suppress him; seeing Ge Dongyi pressed to the ground by the Overturn Heaven Seal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether to kill Ge Dongyi or not was irrelevant to Wang Ping.

He mainly just wanted to understand the matter of the Five Elements Reverse Curse.

So he glanced at Liu Haodong and continued asking:

"Haodong, continue talking about the Five Elements Reverse Curse!"

Liu Haodong glanced at Ge Dongyi and the others, pinned to the ground unable to move; his heart felt even greater awe for Wang Ping's strength. Liu Haodong is wild and loves to brag, but he is absolutely not stupid.

Considering Lan Dage's currently displayed strength, at the very least

he also possesses the combat power of Ge Dong.

Wang Ping is not as relaxed as he appears; the more powerful the Dharma Treasure, the greater the spiritual power consumption when controlling it.

Fortunately, he has two types of spiritual power in his dantian, which can temporarily sustain the consumption.

But Liu Haodong doesn't know these things, so he spoke with a hint of respect:

"However, the survival rate of cultivators afflicted with the Five Elements Reverse Curse is extremely low—often only one out of a million single-spirit-root cultivators manages to survive! Such a low rate was once considered heretical and nearly got banned!

Later, those few successful cases all became great experts of the human race, which allowed this heaven-defying secret technique to be preserved. However, this set of secret techniques is now sealed away in the human race's Secret Merit Pavilion. Perhaps some small worlds in the lower realm might also have it, but maybe it's just some old immortals fishing for suckers!"

Wang Ping listened, divine light flickering in the depths of his eyes, and he spoke:

"Continue speaking!"

Liu Haodong gave a bitter smile and said: "Lan Dage, I know only this much, right, and there's one more thing: the spirit roots produced by the Five Elements Reverse Curse can mutually transmute spiritual power without obstruction! Moreover, after cultivating all Five Elements techniques to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, there is a chance to condense a Five Elements Golden Core or a Heaven-Earth Golden Core!"

"The Heaven-Earth Golden Core is what results after the Five Elements mutually generate and return to the mundane, like the attribute-less spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which actually also evolves from the Five Elements' mutual generation!"

I once heard the elders of my clan say: The mutual generation of the Five Elements nurtures, capable of nurturing the most perfect Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul in the world.

The mutual overcoming of the Five Elements is for battle, capable of destroying all worldly Dao techniques! In short, the Five Elements Reverse Curse is too mysterious; aside from those few who have already become great experts, nobody knows how many more secrets it holds!

"Is the Five Elements Reverse Curse difficult to refine?" Wang Ping asked.

Liu Haodong shook his head and said: "Not too clear!"

Wang Ping nodded, and in his mind flashed a succession of terms: Reverse Fire Curse, Five Elements, Vajra Pestle, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, techniques, artifact refining, formation arrays!

"Who dares to harm my younger brother!"

Just as Wang Ping was pondering, a loud shout like a muffled thunder came from afar.

Ye Ming, Liu Haodong and the others' expressions all changed; Wang Ping raised his head, his two eyes calmly gazing at the figure sprinting wildly toward them.

That person is none other than the Ge Dong that Liu Haodong mentioned!

Gold, red, yellow, blue, and cyan five kinds of body-protecting spiritual light—indeed it is Five Elements Simultaneous Cultivation.

Ge Dong's speed is extremely fast; with every blink he must leap a distance of five zhang.

By the time the sound ended, Ge Dong was only a hundred zhang away; at this distance he could already see his younger brother being suppressed on the ground.

Hmph!

His pupils flashed with cold light; Ge Dong thought, how dare someone humiliate his younger brother—he wanted to see how much gall the opponent had to dare act like this.

When they were still ten zhang apart, a blade of pure five-colored light condensed from spiritual power suddenly appeared in Ge Dong's hand; after a flash, Ge Dong appeared five zhang away.

And at that moment, he swung his five-colored long blade down without mercy.
