Chapter 533: When Wind and Fire Merge, It Becomes the Wind-Fire Great Calamity!
The Black and White Academy has techniques for soul attacks; in the Manghuang Ji Realm, these are not called "divine arts," but merely "techniques."
For example, the Soul-Annihilating Technique requires ten thousand Black and White Elixirs to exchange for.
To Fang Yu, this was pure waste—he already possessed the Great Cutting Technique, the Black Sun Wind Disaster, and the Great Sun Fire Disaster, all of which had similar miraculous effects, and far stronger ones.
The Great Cutting Technique can sever not only a cultivator's body, spiritual sense, and primordial spirit, but even magic treasures—Fang Yu, at his current realm, could slice through them effortlessly, unless they were Dao Instruments; even peerless treasure-class items could not withstand a single strike of his current Great Cutting Technique.
If this great Dao were cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm, the Great Cutting Technique would undergo another profound transformation, becoming Mind-Cutting, capable of instantly annihilating enemies.
Thus, Fang Yu had no interest in the Soul-Annihilating Technique requiring ten thousand Black and White Elixirs; after browsing through many, he selected several "techniques" that seemed likely to inspire him.
The Minor Five Elements Sword Scripture was one.
The Blood Shadow Slash Blade Art was another.
There were several others, among the most potent "techniques" in the Black and White Academy.
When Fang Yu exited, he displayed each of these Daoist technique scrolls to the Guardian.
The Guardian, at the Primordial Spirit realm, wore an expression of sheer shock.
"You chose so many scriptures? Do you even have enough Black and White Elixirs?"
The Guardian couldn't help but be stunned—Fang Yu had taken out dozens of scrolls, which utterly exceeded his expectations.
You should know that even disciples who had just been admitted to the Black and White Academy, even if they received rewards from the Academy, would, for various reasons, be capped at around five or six thousand Black and White Pills; with so many pills, they could only exchange for three or four secret manuals. But now Fang Yu had actually walked out carrying dozens of abridged secret manuals, which made the guardian almost think that Fang Yu was new here and didn't understand the rules.
【14】 Know that even newly initiated disciples of the Black and White Academy, even with academy rewards, rarely have more than five or six thousand Black and White Elixirs—enough for only three or four scriptures—but now Fang Yu walked out carrying dozens of scripture scrolls, making the Guardian nearly think this newcomer didn't understand the rules here.
Even if you were an Elder, you couldn't take out this many Daoist technique scrolls.
But Fang Yu said nothing—he simply displayed his Black and White Elixirs.
"So many Black and White Elixirs… how many great Daos have you mastered?"
The Guardian drew a deep breath—he was no stranger to talent; seeing six ten thousand Black and White Elixirs inside Fang Yu's gourd, he knew this man was an extraordinary genius, no wonder he'd become an Elder the moment he entered the Black and White Academy.
"Not many, not many."
Fang Yu smiled.
"Very well. Since that's the case, I'll process your exchange."
The Guardian examined the scrolls Fang Yu had laid out—titles like "Three-Foot Sword," "Minor Five Elements Sword Scripture," "Water Source Annotations," "Three Heads Six Arms," "Manifest Heaven Imitate Earth," "Thunder-Eye Divine Gaze," "Radiant Heart Eye"—and couldn't stop praising.
"You've taken so many of our Academy's finest treasures at once—I've never seen anything like it. Still, I'd like to see just how far you can cultivate."
The Guardian murmured in admiration and retrieved the original scrolls.
"Farewell."
Immediately after obtaining these scriptures, Fang Yu ascended, becoming a streak of light that landed on his Feiyu Peak.
He now possessed dozens of techniques, methods, and divine arts.
The ones most intriguing to Fang Yu were naturally Three Heads Six Arms and the Red Ming Nine Heaven Map—but he did not immediately cultivate them on his physical body.
What he wanted to do first was cultivate a second Primordial Spirit, and then cultivate techniques like Three Heads Six Arms and the Red Ming Nine Heaven Map upon that second Primordial Spirit—that was the safest approach.
Collisions between different cultivation systems must be handled with caution.
After all, the body in the Eternal Life Realm is far too precious.
Yet some divine arts, such as the Minor Five Elements Sword Scripture, seemed unlikely to cause serious harm when cultivated.
All techniques of the Five Elements fell entirely under Fang Yu's control.
This was the confidence he gained from cultivating the Great Five Elements Technique—even in other worlds, cultivating different Five Elements, he remained confident he could master them all.
In the Manghuang Ji Realm, the Black and White Academy had the Minor Five Elements Sword Scripture; by name alone, it paled beside the Great Five Elements Technique, lacking confidence—but even so, it ranked among the top five sword arts of the Black and White Academy.
This scripture was divided into nine sections: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin-Yang, Three Talents, Four Symbols, and Five Elements.
Each section progressed from shallow to profound.
The shallow levels were indeed rudimentary—even a Purple Mansion cultivator could practice them; the profound levels were sword arts of the Heavenly Immortal tier, incomprehensible to ordinary cultivators.
"The fusion of sword and the Five Elements…"
Fang Yu pondered the content of the Minor Five Elements Sword Scripture and felt genuinely inspired—according to the Great Five Elements Technique, the Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi was inherently a Metal technique—but what, then, was a Water sword?
When Fang Yu subtly shifted his intent, the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi flowed, forming a roaring river, from which poured terrifying sword qi—sword qi like flowing water, spreading everywhere.
This was the roaring Jianhe—a fusion of water and sword.
"That's it?"
Fang Yu watched as his Water Sword instantly coalesced, then activated other sword techniques.
The Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi flowed; countless flames in the void transformed into streams of sword qi—this was the Fire Sword.
The Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi flowed, forming streams of emerald-green sword qi—this was the Wood Sword.
As for the Metal Sword, the Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi was already the Metal Sword.
And the Earth Sword? The Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi manifested sword qi in the void.
The Five Element Swords were thus coalesced by Fang Yu.
Extremely simple.
Of course, this was merely beginner-level sword art—any disciple entering the Black and White Academy could easily learn this most basic Five Element Sword.
The next, the Yin-Yang Sword, was different—it required combining insights into different Daos, and when activated, its power would multiply.
The Yin-Yang section contained eighty-nine sword forms.
No longer simple combinations of the Five Elements—it included other elements, such as wind.
Wind and fire combined formed a Yin-Yang Sword; Metal and Wood combined formed a Yin-Yang Sword; Earth and Fire combined formed a Yin-Yang Sword form.
In short, any sword technique formed by combining two distinct Daos was contained within the Yin-Yang Sword.
Between heaven and earth, countless great Daos exist; some combinations yield disastrous results, while others amplify power, unleashing far more terrifying might.
