Chapter 300: Chapter 200: Five Elements_2

“The development of power reaches too far, impacts too much!”

“Set it aside for now, focusing on enhancing one’s own strength as the main objective.”

“Once sufficient strength is achieved, then investigate the surrounding circumstances and the overall structure of the world.”

“At that time, further development can be undertaken reliably!”

Although he began as a mere mortal, after several lifetimes of supreme experience, his intellect and strategies were not only extraordinary but also unparalleled.

He saw the whole picture, leaving no strategy unconsidered!

Therefore, Xu Yang quickly established his initial strategy.

First, to develop at Wuzhe Lake for a period of time and enhance personal strength to a certain level.

After all, with the accumulation of several lifetimes, he no longer had to worry about the initial cultivation technique and could completely focus on being a fisherman at ease, utilizing the abundant resources of Wuzhe Lake to enhance his strength.

“Zhuanzhou Mengdie, Divine Travel Through Worlds,” aside from the cultivation system, integrating world powers and using the knowledge and strength accumulated to “invade” was also an interesting matter.

Xu Yang now had such capital.

First to be a fisherman for thirty years, then to observe this world—to see how many demons, evil spirits, and monsters there were!

He was not in a hurry, although he had many matters at hand, he had even more time.

In the real world, the changes in the Void Spirit Realm should occur a hundred years later.

With a hundredfold time difference, a hundred years is equivalent to ten thousand years; he had a whole ten thousand years in the World of Dao and Law.

Since the Demon World was connected to the World of Dao and Law and there was even a trend of overlapping and merging, the flow of time was consistent, with no deviation.

Ten thousand years, was it possible to find a way to secure some safety for himself during the great changes of the Void Spirit Realm and when the major powers of the Northern Domain converged?

Xu Yang couldn’t say for sure; he could only do his best.

Therefore, he pursued multiple approaches simultaneously, flourishing in several aspects.

In the real world, his true self practiced with great effort, accumulating for the Nascent Soul.

In the World of Dao and Law, he combined efforts at the Scholar’s Palace to tackle various cultivation techniques.

Additionally, there was the Yang God incarnation, dispatched to adjacent worlds, searching for high-tier techniques.

This Demon World was only the first step; if there were no gains, then Xu Yang would send his Yang God incarnation to other neighboring worlds, or using the marks left by the Ancient Immortal Gods, directly ascend to the Immortal Realm.

If still fruitless, after the spiritual energy in the World of Dao and Law was restored and the system stabilized, he could once again Dream of Butterflies, entering higher level worlds to seek even more advanced techniques.

In short, there was much to do in the dream during a real-world century.

There was plenty of time, no need to rush.

With the strategy decided, the next step was to put it into action.

To enhance personal strength.

Cultivation practice or martial training?

Naturally… both.

Cultivation and martial training didn’t conflict; they were indeed one and the same, the only difference being the presence of a Spiritual Root.

With a Spiritual Root, one could cultivate; naturally, one could also train in martial arts, and the Spiritual Root would likewise be beneficial to the Martial Path.

After all, half of Xu Yang’s Martial Path system came from the Great Zhou and Great Tang War God’s Atlas, and the other half from various cultivation methods, for contemplation and insight.

Therefore, Spiritual Root martial arts was also a path to take; whether in terms of cultivation speed or the results of the cultivation technique, it was superior to those without a Spiritual Root.

In fact, according to the research of the Wandao School, a Spiritual Root is like an alternative human organ that can efficiently absorb Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit and other material energies.

With a Spiritual Root, regardless of the cultivation technique practiced or the elixir used, the efficiency is higher than for those without a Spiritual Root.

Thus, the Spiritual Root is very important.

Although Xu Yang had the Attribute Panel and was enhanced by many Skill Traits, allowing him to cultivate even without a Spiritual Root, he had no intention of declining to add icing to the cake by acquiring a Spiritual Root for himself.

As for how to do it…

The technique of transplanting Spiritual Roots had long been a project of the Wandao School, but such a profound mystery of human body manipulation had yet to yield significant results.

If transplanting was not an option, seizing could work.

Xu Yang’s Yang God clone had attained a Yellow-rank Lower-tier Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Spiritual energy has attributes, roots have nature, with the four methods and five elements, combining into three thousand Dao, also grouped into four tiers and twelve levels: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

The so-called Five Elements Spiritual Root means possessing the complete set of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and all five are balanced, with none protruding or lagging behind.

This Yang God clone embodied a Five Elements Spiritual Root, with the complete metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements, all of which were of Yellow-rank Lower-tier.

In this way, it met the requirements for cultivating a particular Cultivation Technique…

“Post-Heaven Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Body!”

“White Tiger Gengjin Jue!”

“Azure Dragon Jia Wood Jue!”

“Black Tortoise Ren Water Technique!”

“Vermilion Bird Bing Fire Technique!”

“Qilin Wutu Jue!”

With a thought from Xu Yang, he immediately saw the five Cultivation Techniques form a true jue in his mind.

“Five Spirits and Five Elements True Jue”

For some reason, within Liang Country, the Cultivation Techniques involving the five elements were widespread. Apart from the White Tiger Gengjin Jue previously obtained from Zhou Mingyu of the Zhou Family, the teachings of the Azure Dragon Jia Wood, Black Tortoise Ren Water, Vermilion Bird Bing Fire, and Qilin Wutu also circulated there.

These five techniques corresponded to the Five Elements Spiritual Root; one needed at least an Upper-class Mysterious Spirit to practice them, and to cultivate a Spiritual Body, an Upper-class Heavenly Spirit was required.

Xu Yang’s clone only had a Lower-class Yellow Spirit and did not meet the qualifications for solo cultivation.

However, cultivating a single Spiritual Root separately

is different from cultivating all Five Elements together.

As long as the five elements are balanced, whether it’s an Upper-class Heavenly Spirit or a Lower-class Yellow Spirit, both can cultivate the “Five Spirits and Five Elements True Jue”.

So, although his Five Elements Spiritual Root was only lower-grade, with the ability to cultivate the five elements together, his cultivation efficiency was by no means weaker than that of a solo Upper-class Heavenly Spirit.

Moreover, the “Five Spirits and Five Elements True Jue” had the effect of purifying the Spiritual Root; cultivating to a certain level could not only transform the Lower-class Yellow Spirit into an Upper-class Heavenly Spirit but also elevate the Spiritual Root to an even higher level of Spiritual Body.

Post-Heaven Five Elements Spiritual Body!

Pre-Heaven Five Elements Dao Embryo!

The former is considered a prodigious attribute even within the Northern Region Cultivation World.

The latter does not exist in the secular world; it is truly the Dao Embryo of an immortal body.

However, according to the description in “Five Spirits and Five Elements True Jue”, as long as one cultivates to a certain extent, whether it’s the Five Elements Spiritual Body or the Five Elements Dao Embryo, both could potentially be refined.

Without a doubt, this is like pie in the sky, as many martial arts secrets like to claim “after great achievement, one is invincible in the world”.

After great achievement, indeed you’re invincible, but the question is how to achieve that great success and what counts as great success?

Only a ghost knows!

This Five Elements technique was widely circulated in Liang Country, even the Three Sects of Golden Core did not restrict it, only limiting the Golden Core aspect of the techniques.

Why this was so, Xu Yang was not entirely clear, but presumably, it must be related to that deceased Void Spirit Monarch.

This “Five Spirits and Five Elements True Jue” might very well be the cultivation method of the Void Spirit Monarch, with the Three Sects of Golden Core intending to cultivate a successor for the Void Spirit Monarch to find the hidden immortal mansion’s treasures…

That’s the only explanation for now.

It involves an Integration Great Power, who may or may not be alive, and the hidden dangers don’t need to be elaborated on.

Fortunately, an Integration Great Power also lacks the strength to cross worlds.

I’m cultivating in a dream; what do I care about any hidden dangers?

Having searched throughout Liang Country and even the Three Sects of Golden Core, the Golden Core aspect of the “Five Spirits and Five Elements True Jue” is complete, and it’s also possible to cultivate a Divine Skill, the Post-Heaven Five Spirits Battle Body and the Post-Heaven Five Elements Divine Light.

Five Spirits Battle Body!

Five Elements Divine Light!

Although preceded by the word “post-heaven”, Xu Yang was still tempted by it.

So…
