Chapter 415: Reshaping the World 2
"The only plan for now is to shrink the volume of the Five Elements World, preserve the foundation, discard the dross and keep the essence; this can slow down the speed of the world's collapse and also squeeze out some energy to repair the spatial rifts."
Meng Yifan thought of this and began to mobilize the Five Elements Origin Power within his body, subsequently beginning to reshape the Five Elements World.
In an instant, earth-shattering changes occurred throughout the Five Elements World; volcanoes erupted, the earth shook and mountains swayed, and massive waves surged in the great seas.
Towering mountains turned into deep valleys, flat grasslands rose into undulating mountain ranges, and the landscape of the Five Elements World underwent drastic changes.
If viewed from high above, one would discover that the entire world was shrinking, as if an invisible giant hand were squeezing the whole world.
During the process of the world's transformation, the rules of the Five Elements World—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—manifested, spreading to every corner of the world.
"Is this the Five Elements Law?" Lang Batian exclaimed. In a normal world, laws are hidden and never revealed, like a divine dragon that shows its head but never its tail; cultivators go through all sorts of hardships, yet what they comprehend is merely the fur of the Great Dao laws.
Now that Meng Yifan was reshaping the world, the Five Elements Law was revealed; for everyone in the Five Elements World, this was a rare stroke of fortune. How much law one could comprehend depended on each person's own opportunity.
Lang Batian, Lang Badi, the Man-Eating Flower, and Hu Mei'er all sat cross-legged, watching the Five Elements Law imprints constantly emerging in the sky, muttering to themselves, forming seals with their hands, and constantly deducing, rapidly comprehending the mysteries within.
Meng Shuangdao stood on a mountain peak, watching the Five Elements Law, his twin blades dancing; the Five Elements light flickered on the long blades, possessing the sharpness of the Metal Element, breaking through like bamboo; the heaviness of the Earth Element, indestructible; the violence of the Fire Element, smelting all things; the resilience and endurance of the Water Element, overcoming the hard with the soft; and the endless vitality of the Wood Element.
Meng Shuangdao was immersed in the Five Elements Blade Technique, the blade technique becoming increasingly profound, every strike containing the true meaning of the Five Elements, its power greatly increased, yet he always felt something was wrong.
This was because Meng Shuangdao possessed a Zombie Body and was a creature of the Yin Attribute; the law most suitable for him should be the Yin Element law, but what was revealed in the Five Elements World now were all Five Elements laws, which made him feel it was a great pity.
The same situation also appeared for the two zombies, Meng Da and Meng Er, the ghost soldiers and ghost generals led by Zhang Butou, and the vampires led by Kong Sanqiang.
The opportunity was right before their eyes, but the laws did not match, and they could not comprehend the essence of the laws, which made them very distressed.
The process of reshaping the Five Elements World was also the process of Meng Yifan integrating his own insights into the laws.
He Dongliu cultivated the Five Elements Law, and the Five Elements Law was what originally operated in the Five Elements World; Meng Yifan, however, practiced Nine-System Cultivation, and in the process of reshaping the world, he used the Five Elements World as a foundation and added the four systems of Yin, Yang, Wind, and Thunder laws.
First was the Yin-Yang Law, which was the law Meng Yifan was most proficient in previously.
Suddenly, a sun appeared in the sky of the Five Elements World, illuminating the entire world; this was the concretization of Meng Yifan's insights into the Yang Element law.
Immediately following that, a full moon appeared in the sky, casting down bright moonlight.
The sun and moon in the sky were both the concretization of Meng Yifan's insights into the Yin and Yang laws; although not as deep as He Dongliu's comprehension of the Five Elements Law, the integration of the Yin and Yang laws also supplemented the loopholes of this world, making this world more complete.
"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west; the moon rises in the west and sets in the east." Meng Yifan spoke and the law followed; the sun and moon began their daily cycle according to the path he planned, and there was now day and night in this world.
Meng Shuangdao, Meng Da, Meng Er, and the vampires like Kong Sanqiang all stared at that full moon, comprehending the Yin Element law within.
"Yin reaches its extreme and Yang is born; there is Yang within Yin, and Yin within Yang; the transformation of Yin and Yang is the Taiji—this is the true meaning of the Taiji Saber Technique the master passed on to me."
"I understand, haha, so that's how it is." Meng Shuangdao was overjoyed; his twin blades moved, at one moment the surrounding area was filled with Yin winds, Ghost Crying Wolf Howling, and at the next, light flickered, warm and auspicious, like the rising sun.
Meng Shuangdao comprehended the Yin-Yang Great Dao, his twin blades one Yin and one Yang, changing in a myriad of ways; his surroundings were one moment bright and one moment dark, like an independent little world.
After entering the Secret Realm World, Meng Shuangdao's strength had been constantly improving, especially with Meng Yifan's help; he had obtained a large amount of resources, and his strength had already reached the Fourth Grade Peak. This time, watching Meng Yifan's sun and moon caused Meng Shuangdao to break through his bottleneck and begin charging toward the Fifth Grade realm.
Meng Yifan sensed this, glanced at Meng Shuangdao, and then continued to integrate his own insights into the laws.
"Let there be wind in this world." Meng Yifan issued an order.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" In the sky of the world, a cool breeze suddenly blew, causing the clouds in the sky to roll and unfurl, with a myriad of meteorological phenomena; the clouds piled up to form dark clouds, blocking the sun, giving this world the distinction between cloudy days and sunny days.
"Let there be Thunder Element Demon Power in this world." Meng Yifan said again.
"Boom—! Boom—!" Lightning and Thunder occurred; purple lightning shuttled through the dark clouds, causing the dark clouds to vibrate, and the water vapor in the clouds condensed into water droplets and fell.
It started as a light, drizzling rain, then quickly developed into a downpour, pouring down; the entire world was a world of rain.
After a while, a gust of wind blew, the dark clouds dissipated, and the sun came out, casting down ten thousand rays of light.
The flowers, plants, and trees received the nourishment of the rain and grew sturdily under the shining sun.
The waxing and waning of the moon, the wind and rain, the Nine Elements energy operated within this world, making this world become more complete, just like a real great world such as the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty.
The Wind and Thunder laws were the weakest and could only affect a small area, but in this small area where the nine systems were fused, Meng Yifan made an astonishing discovery.
"Could this be the Nether Ghost Mansion?" Meng Yifan sensed that after the moon rotated to this area, the nine systems of energy fused together, giving birth to a small, special space; it was not large here, only about the size of a football field, filled with lingering Yin energy, like a Ghost Domain.
During the world's changes, some animals died; in the past, their Divine Soul would dissipate between Heaven and Earth, but now, the souls of those animals were attracted by the rules and entered this Nether Ghost Mansion.
These animal souls entered the Nether Ghost Mansion, a portion of the soul decomposed into pure Yin energy, and after the soul core circled around inside the Nether Ghost Mansion, it followed a Mysterious channel and entered the sun.
Yin and Yang fused, becoming a special point of light, and then this point of light was driven by wind and thunder, tempered by the Five Elements, becoming a special existence, and merged into the body of a pregnant mother beast; not long after, the mother beast gave birth, and a new life was born into the world.
"How magical; does this count as the cycle of life and death?" Meng Yifan merged with the world and saw the entire process of life being born, which left his heart deeply shaken.
