Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In Qingdi Garden, tribulation clouds rolled like ink, layers of thunder sea piled upon one another, and the pressure grew ever heavier.

Starting from the seventh layer of thunder sea, dual turbid thunders of combinations such as wood-earth, water-fire, and metal-earth already showed intent to target him.

Having endured the tempering of the eleventh layer of ink-gray thunder sea and the twelfth layer of ink-black thunder sea, then the threefold law crushing of the thirteenth layer of gold-red thunder sea, Xu Zhangqing always took the Five Elements Spiritual Root as his foundation, calmly dealing with it using magic treasures, magic tools, arrays, spirit talismans, and spirit pills.

The turbid thunder power of each layer of thunder sea was either diverted by arrays, neutralized by spirit pearls, or turned into nourishment for tempering the spiritual root.

Various resources were consumed, but he always kept his hidden cards.

Especially the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman—not a single one had been used to this day.

As the gold-red glow of the thirteenth layer of thunder sea dissipated, the tribulation clouds above the secret realm suddenly contracted, but this was not the end; instead, it burst forth with seven-colored flowing light across the sky.

The fourteenth layer of seven-colored thunder sea descended!

This layer of thunder sea had none of the previous violent roaring; seven-colored thunder waves surged like tides, carrying the complete Five Elements Mutual Restraint Laws, transforming into countless circulating vortices, enveloping the entire Qingdi Yuan Secret Realm.

Unlike single-attribute targeted restraint, the threat of this thunder sea lay in multiple restrictions: wood entangles earth, earth blocks water, water extinguishes fire, fire melts metal, metal cuts wood—the Five Elements Mutual Restraint closed loop, attempting to draw Xu Zhangqing's internal Five Elements Spiritual Roots into conflict with each other, causing them to collapse on their own.

The spiritual energy in the secret realm was disturbed; vast numbers of spirit plants quickly withered, spirit soil layers cracked and shattered, spirit springs dried up to the bottom, and even the air began to twist due to the conflict of laws.

Xu Zhangqing's magic power became sluggish, the Five Elements within his body inverted, and his organs reacted.

Metal restricts wood; thorny spikes grew on his lung lobes.

With each breath, the wood thorns scraped the alveoli, causing excruciating pain throughout his body.

Water restricts fire; his kidneys were like boiling water and cold abysses.

With each heartbeat, ice and fire clashed, triggering bodily overexertion.

Wood restricts earth; his liver was like roots entangling rotten soil.

Nutrients rotted within, falling into a state of pathological self-consumption.

Fire restricts metal; his heart was like a furnace cracking gold.

Each beat scorched the lung vessels; his blood was like heated iron, burning away his essence.

Earth restricts water; his spleen was like a stagnant swamp swallowing flow.

Seemingly no problem, but actually eroding his own essence.

Five Elements in chaos, five viscera in chaos, as if he were about to "kill" himself.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes showed no ripples: "The Five Elements may restrain each other, but they can also generate each other."

He formed hand seals with his fingertips, no longer mobilizing a single spiritual root, but instead drawing the Five Elements Spiritual Roots into resonance.

The Five-Colored Banner above his head spun at extreme speed, transforming into a brilliant five-colored halo, wrapping all the thunder power circulating around his body.

As the halo rotated, it forcibly reversed the restraining turbid thunder power into mutually generating pure spiritual energy.

Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal—the flowing spiritual light not only dissolved the restraining erosion brought by the laws, but also fed back into himself along the meridians, making his already condensed spiritual root even tougher.

The seven spirit pearls of the Lingxi Belt lit up simultaneously, linking into a glossy chain, firmly restraining the restlessness within Xu Zhangqing's body.

The Five Elements Thunder Control Array transformed into a closed-loop barrier, isolating external law destruction.

The Thunder Spirit Guidance Array diverted thunder power, reducing the conversion pressure on the five-colored halo.

The Spirit Zhenhun Array released a soft glow, protecting his divine soul from being lured.

Xu Zhangqing swallowed another Thunder Fire Avoid Tribulation Pill, while simultaneously activating a Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman.

The thunder-fire power of the pill and the golden light protection of the talisman cooperated, forming dual protection inside and outside his body, completely isolating external pressure.

Time passed second by second; Xu Zhangqing remained steady and restrained.

No one knew how long had passed; the light of the seven-colored thunder sea gradually dimmed, and the spiritual energy in the secret realm, under the pull of the five-colored halo, surged into the five viscera along the meridians.

The thorns in his lungs melted, the ice and fire between his kidneys neutralized, the rotten soil on his liver fell off; the excruciating pain of the five viscera gradually faded, and instead, misfortune turned to blessing—the compatibility between his organs and the Five Elements Spiritual Root rose to a higher level.

Only then did Xu Zhangqing slowly exhale a breath of turbid qi: "Fortunately I was fully prepared, otherwise I would have lost this body at the fourteenth layer of thunder sea."

However, there are benefits after successfully crossing the tribulation; he could clearly feel his connection with the Five Elements Laws of heaven and earth becoming ever closer, but before he could fully calm his breath, the tribulation clouds above the secret realm had condensed into a strange chaos color, the atmosphere suppressed to the extreme.

The entire secret realm was deathly silent, not a single sound.

The fifteenth layer of thunder sea, the Chaos Thunder Sea.

Thunder waves surged endlessly, containing the power of Five Elements Mutual Restraint and Thunder Tribulation Backlash, its might ten times that of the first layer.

Under this pressure, space in Qingdi Garden rippled with fine wrinkles, as if it would shatter and collapse in the next second.

Even the Bilei Ling Wood Helmet and Thunder Crystal Armor Set and other magic tools Xu Zhangqing wore developed cracks, and his qi and blood surged throughout his whole person.

Unlike the previous targeted restraint, this layer of thunder sea descended in the posture of "law crushing"; wherever the Chaos Power passed, spirit plants turned to flying ash, spirit soil collapsed into nothingness, spirit springs evaporated completely, and the vitality in the secret realm vanished in an instant.

Boom—

The Chaos Thunder Sea suddenly contracted, condensing into an incomparably thick chaos light pillar, its target pointing straight at Xu Zhangqing. Within the light pillar, Five Elements Laws and Thunder Tribulation Backlash power intertwined and coiled, transforming into golden blades, wood vines, fire birds, water snakes, mud, and thunder dragons.

It seemed to simultaneously destroy his spiritual root, Golden Core, divine soul, and even his life.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhangqing slowly stood up; five-colored spiritual light and thunder light intertwined around his body, as if he wore a galaxy of stars. The power of all magic treasures and arrays gathered completely. There was not a trace of fear in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It's time to end this!"

The five-colored halo merged with the thunder light of the Thunder Crystal Armor Set, transforming into a Five Elements Thunder Shield as heavy as a mountain, standing before him.

The Su Ge Shield spun at extreme speed; vortices on the shield surface expanded one after another, actively rushing toward the chaos light pillar, madly devouring and decomposing thunder power.

The chain formed by the seven linked spirit pearls and the vitality shield formed by the Ten Thousand Wood Barrier overlapped, guarding Xu Zhangqing's Golden Core and divine soul tightly and securely.

Even the last two Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talismans were activated without hesitation at this moment, firmly protecting himself and his divine soul.

But at this moment, the Xuan Seal in Xu Zhangqing's Qi Sea suddenly lit up.

This Xuan Seal representing the laws of heaven and earth now emitted a soft glow, like a lighthouse in the darkness, making everything else dim in comparison.

The Mystic Seal was no longer merely auxiliary; it had become the core of resisting the Thunder Tribulation.

It slowly rose from the Qi Sea, hanging above Xu Zhangqing's head like a bright moon rising over the sea, its faint light transforming into an inverted Glazed Barrier that enveloped him.

Facing the violent Five Elements Mutual Restraint and Thunder Tribulation Backlash within the Chaotic Light Pillar, the Mystic Seal actually emanated an indisputable pressure; those mutually annihilating Law Powers, at this moment, were like meeting their nemesis, and the power and damage they caused grew weaker and weaker.

Xu Zhangqing operated the Return to Origin Art, mobilizing all his mana: "Take the Mystic Seal as the foundation, and withstand it head-on!"

The Chaotic Light Pillar slammed into the barrier unfolded by the Mystic Seal, emitting a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth; this was already a confrontation at the Law level.

The barrier trembled violently, the faint light flowing through the Mystic Seal flickering bright and dim, yet it never extinguished.

The Five Elements Laws within the Chaotic Light Pillar attempted Interference, but were forcibly neutralized.

The backlash power of the Thunder Tribulation wanted to break through the defense, but under the Mystic Seal's pressure it melted like ice and snow, fundamentally unable to approach Xu Zhangqing.

The Law conflict within the light pillar became increasingly chaotic under the Mystic Seal's pressure; the originally tight closed-loop effect completely loosened, and even part of the Law Power was forcibly stripped and assimilated by the Mystic Seal, flowing along the barrier and transforming into nourishment for Xu Zhangqing.

The Chaotic Light Pillar dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually becoming thin and scattered from its initial thick and condensed state, finally completely collapsing in a muffled roar.

The Tribulation Clouds above the Secret Realm were scattered by the residual waves of this Law confrontation, replaced by vast sky Glow, richer than at any time.

The Glow poured down like a substantial waterfall; under the Mystic Seal's guidance, it surged into Xu Zhangqing's body like a tide, making up for the consumption during the previous resistance against the Thunder Tribulation.

Click!

The sound of the Golden Core shattering resounded in the Qi Sea, countless Spiritual Lights bursting forth, entangled with mana and Laws.

The Mystic Seal slowly descended, returning to the Qi Sea, hovering at the exact center.

Xu Zhangqing could clearly perceive his own cultivation rapidly rising, the pressure far surpassing the Golden Core Stage sweeping the entire scene, his Meridians widened several times, his Divine Soul becoming solid; under the Mystic Seal's Law Resonance, it was as if he fused into one with heaven and earth.

The shattered Golden Core, under the Mystic Seal's guidance, gradually condensed into an infant about three inches tall.

His form was condensed and substantial, neither the translucent state of an Inferior Nascent Soul nor the child or Daoist form of a Superior Nascent Soul.

He was Xu Zhangqing, and Xu Zhangqing was him.

Exactly the same, indistinguishable from each other.

The position where the Mystic Seal was located happened to be at the infant's brow; at this moment it emitted brilliant light, like an innate mark of heaven and earth.

The Nascent Soul's surface was covered with natural Dao Patterns; these Dao Patterns were so clear that Five Elements Dao Patterns coiled around him like ribbons, and Thunder Patterns circled him like dragons and snakes.

As the Dao Patterns flowed, the withered Lingti in the Secret Realm revived at a speed visible to the naked eye, the dried-up Spirit Spring once again gushed out spring water, and the damaged Lingxian regained vitality!
