Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

At a depth of eight hundred meters, amid high pressure and deep blue, Xu Zhangqing's Wood Spirit Root was constantly nourished by Mingzhu's Water Spirit Power, making every inch of his skin tremble.

When the Water Spirit Source Crystal completely melted and was then inhaled into his body, it surged back and forth through his meridians; at first it was not a gentle soaking, but carried a hint of biting cold.

As if countless ice needles pierced through flesh and blood, stabbing back and forth inside, the sensation was quite painful.

Just at this time, the Wood Spirit Root's property was activated, and the Wood Spirit Power in his Qi Sea automatically operated, emitting a cool breath.

Repairing on one side, absorbing nutrients on the other.

The more biting the Water Spirit Source Crystal was, the more the Wood Spirit Root was like plant roots encountering water, frantically absorbing nutrients, and then taming it in return.

With the aid of the Water Spirit Qi in the Canglan Sea Region, plus the Water Spirit Power transferred from within Mingzhu's body, it was as if it became a strong backing for the Water Spirit Source Crystal, beginning a tug-of-war.

As time passed, the Joint Membership went deeper and deeper, and Mingzhu felt herself becoming weaker and weaker.

In contrast, the person before him became more and more spirited, even emitting a certain unique aura.

……

……

The pressure of eight hundred meters of water depth forced Xu Zhangqing's body to constantly adapt.

Just as the Wood Spirit Root was being born bit by bit, the Fire Spirit Root reacted.

When the Water Spirit Qi within his body became more and more abundant, the Fire Spirit Power in his Qi Sea began to stir, and faintly, a "crackling" sound came from the Qi Sea.

In an instant, his body alternated between icy cold and scorching heat.

As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible, water and fire do not tolerate each other.

Fortunately, the Wood Spirit Root and Wood Spirit Power within his body once again played their role.

Wood can both guide water and contain fire.

With the assistance of Wood Spirit Power, a subtle balance of water and fire complementing each other was formed.

The other Earth Spirit Root and Metal Spirit Root did not react so violently.

The relationship between the Earth Spirit Root and Water Spirit Root was like a riverbed meeting water, becoming more compact, making the Earth Spirit Root the most solid foundation.

The Metal Spirit Root was like metal polished by flowing water, changing from rigid to flexible.

After all, what is too rigid is easily broken; meeting water makes it soft.

Suddenly, a faint halo appeared around Xu Zhangqing's body.

The emerald green of the Wood Spirit Root, the crimson of the Fire Spirit Root, the brownish-yellow of the Earth Spirit Root, and the silvery-white of the Metal Spirit Root were finally wrapped in a layer of flowing deep blue.

The Five Spirit Roots had each in the other and the other in each, like a four-color puzzle with the final piece inserted, thus becoming completely whole.

The Water Spirit Root formed a cycle with the surrounding Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal Spirit Roots.

Water nourishes wood, wood generates fire, fire produces earth, earth breeds metal, metal transforms into water vapor, endlessly cycling.

Xu Zhangqing suddenly felt that his body had become exceptionally light, as if merging with the surrounding seawater, even directly absorbing the Water Spirit Qi from the seawater.

For him, eight hundred meters of water depth was no longer oppressive darkness.

The Water Spirit Root allowed Xu Zhangqing to see the traces of water flow.

The water ripples stirred by creatures swimming in the distance.

The warm currents surging from hot springs on the seabed.

Even the Spiritual Power fluctuations caused by Mingzhu's tail swinging were as clear as meridians.

The originally bone-piercing seawater became gentle, and the oppressive feeling brought by water pressure suddenly weakened.

At the same time, a trace of Water Spirit Power was added to Xu Zhangqing's Qi Sea; although not much, it drove the surrounding five types of Spiritual Power, forming a cycle.

All at once, the speed of absorbing and refining Water Spirit Qi increased.

Mingzhu seemed to be sucked by him, sticking to his body and unable to come down.

When the two performed Joint Membership, ripples arose, even attracting nearby creatures to approach.

Countless axe fish and tube jellyfish were attracted and gathered around, as if celebrating for Xu Zhangqing's Water Spirit Root.

Mingzhu opened and closed her mouth, seeming to want to say something, but the words on the tip of her tongue caused her to faint.

Water Spirit Power was completely exhausted.

Consciousness fell into a coma.

At first glance, like a body that had lost its soul.

It was once again drained dry by this guest.

Xu Zhangqing held her in his arms, then carefully sensed the changes in his body.

The most obvious was the Five Viscera and Six Bowels.

The Wood Spirit Root corresponded to the liver; green wood flourishes, storing the soul and being tough.

The liver emitted a faint emerald halo, its texture as tough as old bamboo yet not losing elasticity.

Not only could it decompose the accumulated Spiritual Power impurities within his body at a faster speed, but its detoxification ability was also enhanced at the same time.

Wood governs the soul; now it was harder to be disturbed by illusions, malice, and evil thoughts.

The Fire Spirit Root corresponded to the heart; raging fire spreads across the plain, generating blood and being fervent.

When the heart beat, it emitted a crimson faint light; every contraction carried the force of sparks exploding, and the blood flow speed was thirty percent faster than those of the same realm.

The current blood could not only quickly nourish the whole body, but also burn evil forces.

Fire governs the spirit; when the heart meridian is strong, the spirit is condensed; even in a state of excitement, it would not lose control.

The Earth Spiritual Root corresponds to the spleen; thick earth bears all things, transforming and making them real.

The spleen's texture is like fine yellow earth, covered with a layer of yellow spiritual power membrane.

Digestive ability is greatly enhanced; even swallowing gold and stone raw is no problem.

The spleen can firmly lock the blood vessels; even if heavily injured, blood will flow out slowly as if adsorbed by mud, buying time for treatment.

At the same time, the earth spiritual power within the spleen will cooperate with the fire spiritual power in the blood vessels, condensing a fire scab and earth membrane at the wound to accelerate hemostasis.

The Metal Spiritual Root corresponds to the lungs; sharp metal cuts iron, governing qi and sharpness.

The lung lobes are crystal clear like white jade, with cold silver light shimmering at the edges.

Inhaled air will be filtered and refined by the lungs, able to forcibly strip spiritual energy from thin environments; even in places where spiritual energy is scarce, basic cultivation can be maintained.

A golden membrane forms on the skin surface, appearing thin yet able to block ordinary sword and saber strikes.

The Water Spiritual Root corresponds to the kidneys; the deep sea hides abysses, storing essence and moistening.

The surface of both kidneys is covered with a layer of pale blue water membrane; beneath the membrane, water-like veins are faintly visible.

After the kidneys are nourished by the Water Spiritual Root, energy recovers faster, and one's state is fuller.

Now one can precisely control the water within the body, neither dehydrating from drought nor swelling from drowning, and can even control the water proportion in the blood.

Of course, these are merely the surface.

The true benefit is actually that when one organ moves, all five viscera respond.

After the liver resolves toxins, excess vitality flows into the heart vessels, making the heartbeat stronger and qi blood flow more smoothly.

The fire of the heart vessels can roast the nutrients digested by the spleen, equivalent to adding a layer of heat to the transformation.

The nutrients refined by the spleen will seep into the lungs, enhancing breathing and refining abilities.

The air inhaled by the lungs condenses into gold essence, flowing into the kidneys to replenish fluids, making endurance in certain aspects stronger.

Kidney water continuously nourishes the liver, keeping its vitality from ever withering; even if the organs are injured, they can quickly repair themselves.

Xu Zhangqing now possesses extremely strong adaptive traits; regardless of facing poisonous miasma, raging fire, freezing ice, or high-pressure environments, the five viscera and six bowels can always regulate themselves through the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, and will not be easily restrained.

As for the Qi Sea, originally it was merely a spiritual power container.

With Five Elements Perfection, it instead becomes a five-colored pool.

The sharpness of metal, the flexibility of wood, the density of water, the intensity of fire, and the heaviness of earth infiltrate each other in flow, yet remain clearly distinct.

Thus, Xu Zhangqing's Five Elements mutually generate, perfectly integrated without leakage!
