Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
The Mo Family disciples watched through the light curtain cast by the Five-Colored Banner as the Five-Colored Peacock sacrificed a Five-Colored Lotus.
Then that black lotus stopped.
Then the lotus petals bloomed in unison.
Then the grayness of the entire Ancestral Land suddenly dissipated.
It seemed resolved, but the Ancestor was gone!
Their mouths opened wider and wider.
The Direct Line Elder who had been roaring just before opened his mouth, but at this moment could not utter a single word.
They could not understand that the black lotus which had swallowed the God Transformation Elder and the entire Ancestral Land was actually refined before this peacock.
But now, no one dared to speak.
An existence that could refine the black lotus was one they simply could not afford to offend.
Mo Yin's entire body stiffened, his eyes fixed dead on the peacock that had brought him too many surprises and joys.
Unexpectedly, the other party had not only tamed that uncontrollable Qilin Mechanism Beast, but had even refined the Abyssal Black Lotus summoned by Hui Jiuming.
Hui Jiuming, who styled himself as the Abyss Master, now had not a single trace of divine sense fluctuation.
After a long while, Hui Jiuming's voice sounded in Mo Yin's mind, lacking a few points of affected profundity and adding a few points of undisguisable shock: "This Emperor has roamed the Demon Realm for nearly ten thousand years, and seen human prodigies too numerous to count.
Some were snatched up by immortal sects from birth, some dared to challenge the Demon God."
It paused, as if digesting a hard-to-swallow fact: "In two hundred years, Xu Zhangqing went from a spirit farmer who tilled the soil to his present level.
If I had half his skill, the title of Abyss Master would not be a joke!"
You must know, the Abyssal Black Lotus was summoned by it on purpose.
The reason was to create chaos, thereby breaking free from Mo Yin, and taking this opportunity to flee back into the Demon Realm.
But seeing Xu Zhangqing disguised as the Five-Colored Peacock so awesome, so powerful, it instead developed other thoughts.
……
……
Xu Zhangqing stood atop the half-collapsed hall roof, the blockade grand array under the Five-Colored Banner completely isolating the entire Mo Family Ancestral Land from the outside world.
The clamor and quarrels of the Mo Family disciples were blocked outside the light curtain; in this gray-white ruin only he remained, or rather, the body of a peacock.
Originally, he had only planned to first obtain the Gengjin Sword Embryo, then find a stable place to refine it after returning to Dongyu.
But now the Five-Colored Banner had laid the blockade, the remaining Mo Family disciples were isolated outside, and the Abyssal Black Lotus had been subdued, so this ruin instead became the most suitable seclusion place.
The Mo Family people dared not charge into the blockade grand array under the Five-Colored Banner, and the monsters of the Central Region would not approach this dead land just devoured by the black lotus.
Rather than taking the sword embryo back and waiting for the right time, it was better to do it all at once here and completely refine the Metal origin power.
Therefore, Xu Zhangqing did as soon as he thought of it.
His right wing flipped lightly, and the Gengjin Sword Embryo wrapped and sealed by Impure Earth Power flew out from his storage space, hovering three feet before him.
The amber-colored sword body still flowed with golden patterns so pure they made the heart tremble.
The sharp aura capable of grinding cultivators below God Transformation into powder was wrapped in the heavy layers of Impure Earth Power, like a sharp sword locked in a stone sheath.
The sword edge remained, but could not injure anyone.
After admiring it for a while, Xu Zhangqing actively undid the sealing of the Impure Earth Power.
The sharp aura on the sword embryo, at the instant the seal was released, surged out like a beast escaping a cage; the entire half-collapsed hall roof was cut by invisible Sword Qi into countless intersecting scars, fragments clattering down.
And this time, Xu Zhangqing did not use the four-color origin power to suppress this sharp aura, but pressed the sword embryo toward himself.
The Metal Spirit Root trembled as never before—not fear, but a longing that after a long wait had finally reached its destination.
At the moment the Metal origin power was stripped away, the sharp aura of the Metal Law poured into the Metal Spirit Root without any buffer, then surged along the meridians toward the Qi Sea.
Wherever it passed, the meridians were cut with fine cracks, blood seeped from the cracks, then quickly solidified, healed, and regenerated under the warmth of the Nirvana Heart Fire.
Tearing and healing, two processes occurred simultaneously within his body.
Every breath bore the agony of ten thousand blades striking the body, yet Xu Zhangqing did not even frown.
Two hundred years of cultivation, from spirit farmer to Sect Master, he had experienced moments harder to endure than this.
The appearance of the Metal origin power caused the Metal Spirit Root to unleash all its potential.
The sharp aura of Metal collided for the first time with the four origin powers.
The Xuanhuang Power bears all things and is the most stable foundation.
When that sharp aura surged in, the Xuanhuang Power was the first to meet it.
Not opposition, but tolerance.
The yellow-brown Earth Qi from below supported the endless white light.
It steadily bore those surging sharp auras, like a silent base supporting a sharp sword about to be drawn.
Primordial Heavy Water clung to the edge of the Xuanhuang Power.
Ink-black water drops, each weighing more than a thousand jun.
It did not touch that sharp aura, but eroded the restlessness produced by the operation of the Metal Law bit by bit.
Water does not overcome Metal, but can dissolve sharpness with yin softness.
The Nirvana Heart Fire leaped violently at the heart, and then a wisp of flame met the Metal Law that had just surged in.
Heart Fire burns Metal, burning away the impurities.
Under the tempering of the Heart Fire, the Metal Law became purer, and also more docile.
The azure Creation Vitality followed close behind; wherever it passed, those wounds torn open by the Sharpness healed in an instant.
The Wood-element vitality does not directly participate in the operation of the Metal Law, but it allows all things to recover anew after suffering heavy injury.
The Meridians are so, the Qi Sea is so, the Dao Heart Lotus Embryo is likewise so.
Four paths of root source power operated simultaneously, jointly accepting that new white light.
Mysterious Yellow bears all things, Lightly Vitality gives birth to all phenomena, Primordial interferes with heaven and earth, Heart Fire burns away all impurities, Gengjin Sword Embryo cleaves through all laws.
Amidst the interweaving and circulation of the four powers, the Metal Law gradually retracted its sharpness.
And then, the fifth lotus petal.
That lotus petal which originally circulated the Metal Law began to nurture anew.
Under the surround of the four root source powers, it sprouted branches anew, colored anew, transforming from its originally thin shape into one equally full as the other four lotus petals.
And the white light circulating upon the lotus petal was deeper and more inwardly restrained than the Gengjin Sword Embryo's own radiance; it was no longer the sharpness of ten thousand blades pressing upon the body, but a kind of destructive power that discards the dross and retains the essence, honed to the utmost extreme.
The Metal Root Source Power, achieved completion.
Five colors complete.
Five Elements Perfection.
Five paths of root source power lit up simultaneously, forming a complete Five-Color Closed Loop.
Metal Wood Water Fire Earth, five kinds of root source power connected end to end, Endless Life.
Mysterious Yellow bears all things, Lightly Vitality gives birth to all phenomena, Primordial interferes with heaven and earth, Heart Fire burns away all impurities, Gengjin Sword Embryo cleaves through all laws.
Five root source powers reflected each other, composing a complete Law Closed Loop.
Root-source-level Five-Colored Divine Light, born!
