Chapter 517: Chaos gives birth to the Five Elements, Five Elements Puppet
At this moment, a blazing red lion descended from the sky, letting out a roar of the lion king that shook the entire forest.
Behind it, a mighty apparition vaguely appeared, overlooking the heavens and earth, its oppressive presence spreading in all directions, causing the elemental energy of the world to bow in submission!
Inside the grand tomb, Gu Lisheng stood on the ground while Song Heng rolled around, both of them visibly startled, their previously carefree expressions gradually turning serious.
The Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, a mark of the Unity True Lords, was unexpectedly condensed by this lion dog during the Void Refinement phase, showcasing an extraordinary talent.
"Fatty, Gu Chuiniu!"
A roar came from above, Little Chi's eyes gleaming with an excited ferocity as he howled towards the sky, "Your Brother Dog is back!"
Roar~~~!
"Haha, Brother Dog!"
"Brother Dog!!"
Their thousand-year wait had not been in vain; if he couldn't return, they had no plans for the future.
They rushed out of the grand tomb, their clothes somewhat disheveled, and their hair a bit messy.
Especially Gu Lisheng, whose garments were torn all over, looking not much different from a cultivating beggar.
"Huh? What are you doing..." Little Chi's pupils widened slightly, instinctively taking out an Image Stone, of which he had plenty.
"Brother Dog! I haven't married yet, don't do this!"
Gu Lisheng's eyes were filled with urgency as he saw the lion dog about to cause trouble, "Stop right there!"
"Ah, Lisheng, it's not a big deal." Song Heng's eyes showed a hint of mischief as he reassured Gu Lisheng, "Today the factory owner returns, let's be happy, haha..."
What nonsense were they talking about!
Gu Lisheng's eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at the fat hand on his shoulder. This dog thief was using his cultivation to quietly suppress him, leaving him unable to move and allowing the lion dog to do as it pleased.
He became furious, a void longsword forming, its momentum like a rainbow, as if it could cut through mountains and rivers!
In the mountain forest, the three figures engaged in a battle without a word, a chaotic fight with leaves flying everywhere, seemingly telling a story of helplessness.
This battlefield was also a mess, with only gang fights, but the target kept changing, and occasionally, a figure would turn against their ally...
They suddenly stopped fighting and began to sit together, laughing and joking.
However, two of their robes became even more disheveled, with half a shoulder exposed.
Deep within the Immaculate Immortal Ridge.
There was a rather serene valley, close to a Spirit Vein, filled with abundant spiritual qi, refreshing and invigorating.
Black Bull was soaking in the waterfall of the valley, lying in the water with limbs spread wide, drifting with the flow, occasionally mooing with eyes full of enjoyment, feeling the coolness.
In the center of the valley stood a small pavilion, where two people sat facing each other with smiles on their faces, none other than Chen Xun and Mo Fuyang.
"Dao Ancestor."
Mo Fuyang was brewing tea for Chen Xun, speaking respectfully, "This tea was personally grown by me, waiting for the day you would be released, to brew a pot for you."
His eyes were filled with excitement; in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed, and how many more millennia could one wait on the path of immortality?
"Old Mo, you are thoughtful." Chen Xun picked up the teacup, savoring it carefully, "Bitter with a sweet aftertaste, and a long-lasting flavor, truly worthy of a tea that has endured a thousand years, I like it very much."
Mo Fuyang's smile deepened, still wearing the same robe he had worn when he first met the Dao Ancestor.
Although it wasn't a magical artifact, it was his most treasured possession.
He raised his eyebrows, looking at Chen Xun's face, his heart trembling. Why did the Dao Ancestor's face seem more weathered, with traces of time left upon it?
"No matter, follow your heart." Chen Xun smiled slightly, seeing through Mo Fuyang's thoughts, which were written all over his face, "That youthful appearance may have long since gone."
"Yes..." Mo Fuyang's voice lowered a bit, having already heard some news about that major event a thousand years ago.
The Dao Ancestor was a cultivator from a small boundary; perhaps his homeland was destroyed... It turned out that what he said back then had such implications.
Looking at Chen Xun's calm demeanor, Mo Fuyang felt a bit of heartache for some reason, no longer as joyful.
"Old Mo, why are you only at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul now? The Five Elements path shouldn't be cultivated so slowly in this grand world."
Chen Xun shifted the topic, frowning slightly as he spoke, already probing Mo Fuyang's internal condition, "Is there a bottleneck or problem with opening the earth acupoint?"
"Reporting to Dao Ancestor, there were some bottlenecks when opening the body and divine acupoints..."
Mo Fuyang's expression was somewhat embarrassed; the Five Elements immortal path was several times more difficult than the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path, and he wasn't particularly gifted or intelligent, "I have disappointed the Dao Ancestor."
"I see, no matter."
Chen Xun's eyes showed understanding; Mo Fuyang still lacked too much experience, and the cultivation process he and Bull went through was too difficult to replicate, even following the steps wouldn't work, "Back then, it happened too suddenly, and I couldn't help you break through to Nascent Soul."
"This has nothing to do with talent or comprehension; these challenges must be personally overcome by me. As the first practitioner of the Five Elements immortal path, it is naturally much more difficult."
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"
Mo Fuyang's eyes lit up with excitement. Although the qi of the Five Elements was vast, it was just one factor in the Five Elements immortal path, still far from enough.
It's not as if having enough resources would allow one to ascend like a fairy; otherwise, the grand world would be filled with astonishing cultivators.
The saying that even a pig could become an immortal with enough resources was just a joke among cultivators, not taken seriously.
"Although talent determines the upper limit, the Five Elements immortal path is different."
Chen Xun's expression became more solemn, guiding patiently, "It might break the notion of talent; even I have not fully comprehended this immortal path."
"Dao Ancestor is right." Mo Fuyang also felt this, having some insights into the qi of the Five Elements, even tinkering with some Five Elements puppets, using qi as their body, though they weren't very effective now.
"Dao Ancestor, chaos gives birth to the Five Elements, the Five Elements form the veins of heaven and earth, complementing the elemental energy, forming all things. If this qi is used in puppets..."
Mo Fuyang hesitated, feeling a bit apprehensive, not daring to discuss the Dao with the Dao Ancestor too much due to the vast difference.
"Oh?" Chen Xun's eyes brightened slightly, as if awakening from a dream, "Old Mo, you have a point, go ahead boldly!"
"If I can reach Unity, I can master all laws and create true Five Elements immortal techniques!"
Chen Xun took a deep breath, excitement flashing in his eyes, "If we can start perfecting various techniques now, the Five Elements immortal path will truly flourish in the future, and my path in the Five Elements immortal path can go even further."
Mo Fuyang was overjoyed, standing up and cupping his hands, not for himself, but to congratulate the Dao Ancestor.
"I didn't come today to explore the immortal path with you."
Chen Xun's tone became much calmer, looking at the Black Bull exposing its belly in the water in the distance, "The most important thing is to ask about these thousand years, Old Mo, it hasn't been easy, has it?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Fuyang's heart rippled gently, slowly spreading out, and he fell silent, taking a sip of tea.
Time leaves no trace, and as the mountain winds blew, the two figures in the pavilion seemed to gain a touch of desolation.
