Wanxiang Cave, atop the cliff, a gust of wind blew past, hitting Fang Chen's face, as though it was a knife slashing across it.

Fang Chen felt pain all over his body, as he tried his best to absorb the wind elemental energy.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. There were only two days left until the deadline.

Fang Chen didn't have a clue about the Concept of Wind.

At this time, Fang Chen's mood was a little low.

However, just as a strong gust of wind blew past, with a boom, the entire cliff wall was instantly engulfed by a wild strong wind, directly blowing onto Fang Chen's body.

Bang

Fang Chen's body could not withstand the wind and directly fell off the cliff.

"How is this possible?"

Fang Chen's face was filled with disbelief as he stared at the top of the cliff.

Just at this moment, the wind on the cliff suddenly disappeared. Replacing it was an old figure who was sitting on top of the cliff with a hunched back.

"Who?"

Fang Chen slowly stood up, and when he saw the old figure atop the cliff, he was shocked, and couldn't help but cry out.

"You are not suited to study the Concept of Wind." The elderly voice transmitted into Fang Chen's ears intermittently.

"Senior, who are you?" Fang Chen asked.

"Who I am is not important. The important thing is that I understand the Concept of Wind better than you do." The elderly figure spoke slowly.

"Why am I not suitable to comprehend the Concept of Wind?" Fang Chen asked.

Crash …

This elderly figure stretched out his palm, and a ray of cyan light directly appeared within his palm. This was the Concept of Wind.

"Although I do not know why, I have a feeling that you are suitable for the Concept of Metal." The old man said.

When Fang Chen saw the Concept of Wind in the old man's hands, he was shocked. Who exactly was this old man? Why was it hidden within the Wanxiang Cave?

"Senior, who exactly are you?" Fang Chen asked.

The old man, hearing this, was silent for a moment, then said, "Autumn Leaf …"

Hearing the two words "Autumn Leaf", raging waves rose in Fang Chen's heart.

"How is this possible? How can you be Autumn Leaf?" Fang Chen cried out involuntarily.

Fang Chen had naturally heard of the name Autumn Leaf before. Back then, Autumn Leaf could also be considered to be an existence that shocked the entire Divine Wind Nation.

"The current Palace Chief of Divine Wind Sword Mansion?" Fang Chen exclaimed.

The current Palace Chief of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, Qiu Ye, had unparalleled powers. Everyone thought that Qiu Ye was in closed door cultivation, but Fang Chen did not expect to see him in the Wanxiang Cave.

"Lord Autumn Leaf?" Fang Chen asked doubtfully.

The old man nodded, and said: "That's right, I am the Palace Chief of Divine Wind Sword Mansion. For you to be able to enter the Wanxiang Cave, that means you have already become Divine Wind Sword Mansion's Heavenly King disciple, right?"

Fang Chen nodded, and the old man continued: "When you entered the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, I started to pay attention to you. Even though I was unable to leave the Wanxiang Cave, I could see everything outside, including your examination before you entered the Divine Wind Sword Mansion."

Fang Chen was shaken. What exactly was the reason why the Lord Autumn Leaf was trapped within the Wanxiang Cave?

"Lord Autumn Leaf, why are you trapped inside the Wanxiang Cave?" Fang Chen asked.

Hearing this, Autumn Leaf sighed, then said, "After I succeeded the Palace Chief, I wanted to lead the Divine Wind Sword Mansion to the summit. After a few attempts, I entered the Wanxiang Cave by myself.

"However, I have thought of a crazy method. I absorbed every type of element aura in the Wanxiang Cave and gathered them within my body in order to soften them. But in the end, something failure occurred." Autumn Leaf slowly said, his voice contained a trace of an ancient aura.

Fang Chen was shocked, this Lord Autumn Leaf was crazy, he actually wanted to gentle all of the elemental auras together.

It had to be said that Lord Autumn Leaf's idea was very bold.

"If it weren't for some secrets on my body, I would have died in the Wanxiang Cave long ago. Even though I survived in the end, I was heavily injured, and had been trapped in the Wanxiang Cave for so many years. Lord Autumn Leaf said in a deep voice.

After Fang Chen understood the sequence of events of this matter, the shock in his heart was unable to recover for a long time.

"All these years, I have been researching the Concept of Wind, my comprehension of it, is just too deep. The moment you stepped onto the cliff, I felt that there was a tyrannical power in your body, this power is not suitable for the Concept of Wind." Autumn Leaf said.

Fang Chen fell into silence, and no longer spoke.

"Your talent is very good, I hope you don't bury your amazing talent." Autumn Leaf continued.

"Lord Autumn Leaf, could it be that you have been trapped here the entire time and are unable to leave?" Fang Chen asked.

Hearing this, Autumn Leaf shook her head, and then said, "I am getting older and older, and my body is getting weaker and weaker. If I don't recover from my injuries, I will never be able to step out of Wanxiang Cave."

"You and I can be considered fated, so I'll give you some pointers." "If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"How can the Lord Autumn Leaf achieve compatibility between water and fire?" Fang Chen asked.

Hearing Fang Chen's words, the Lord Autumn Leaf was startled, then asked: "You want to fuse the two Concepts of Fire and Water?"

Long ago, Autumn Leaf had already sensed that Fang Chen had two concepts within her mind.

Fang Chen nodded his head and said: "I have unintentionally obtained a sword technique, and need fire and water to be compatible in order to practice it."

"A sword technique that comes from the same source of fire and water?" Autumn Leaf's eyes lit up as she asked.

Fang Chen was surprised, and nodded his head.

"No wonder your luck is not bad. You actually obtained this level of sword technique. I've seen a fire and water sword technique once. If you can cultivate it to its peak, then its power will surpass your imagination." Autumn Leaf said.

"I've also researched some ways to fuse fire and water. As for whether or not you can succeed, that will depend on your luck." After Autumn Leaf finished speaking, she asked Fang Chen to release the two concepts of water and fire at the same time.

Crash …

Fang Chen sat crossed legged on the ground, and suddenly released the Concept of Water. A gentle white light surrounded the left half of his body.

Immediately after, an overbearing and sharp fiery-red light appeared on the right half of Fang Chen's body. The two concepts occupied half of Fang Chen's body.

"Use your will to control the fusion of these two Concepts." Autumn Leaf said.

Fang Chen followed Autumn Leaf's method and controlled the fusion of the two Concepts. However, when the two Concepts came into contact with each other earlier, a strong repulsive force emerged.

Seeing the painful expression on Fang Chen's face, Autumn Leaf waved her hand and a ray of cyan light directly drilled into the middle of the two concepts to reconcile the two.

With the addition of the third Concept, the limit of the fusion began to appear for the two Concepts that were completely opposite to each other.

Following that, Autumn Leaf waved her wrist, and a large handprint appeared above her head one after another. In the end, under his stern shout, the handprints all entered Fang Chen's body.

In that instant, the two concepts of fire and water fused together, forming a very strange light.

"This kid isn't simple."

Autumn Leaf could sense that there was a terrifying aura within Fang Chen's body. He wanted to explore for a bit, but he was immediately expelled by this terrifying aura.

Furthermore, Autumn Leaf had discovered that apart from his contributions, a large portion of the reason why the Concept of Fire and Water could be merged so quickly was all because of this terrifying aura within Fang Chen's body.

At this time, in Fang Chen's mind, the two concepts of water and fire were fused together. A clear flow was constantly flowing out of his golden heart, flowing into the two concepts.

One day later, Fang Chen opened his eyes.

"Compatibility of fire and water?"

Fang Chen checked his body and laughed.

Then, Fang Chen stood up, faced the empty cliff and cupped his hands, and said: "Senior Autumn Leaf, this junior will never forget your great kindness."

"You are a member of my Divine Wind Sword Mansion, it is only natural for me to help you." An ethereal voice was heard.

"Senior, what can this junior help you with?" Fang Chen said.

"One day, when your strength is strong enough, take care of Divine Wind Sword Mansion." Autumn Leaf's voice rang out.

Fang Chen nodded his head heavily, bowed three times to the cliff and then turned and left.

In the outside world, the Great Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder had long since arrived at the forbidden grounds of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion.

"Great Clan Elder, do you think that Fang Chen's cultivation will make a breakthrough?" the Second Elder asked.

"I think so. The other four who entered have all had a breakthrough in their cultivation." The Great Elder pondered.

"Before he broke through, his strength was already comparable to that of the four great heavenly kings. After breaking through, just how far will his strength rise?" The Second Elder was very excited.

The two of them thought highly of Fang Chen. On the trip to Wanxiang Cave, Fang Chen's strength would definitely rise dramatically.

"Time's up, open Wanxiang Cave." After about an hour, the Head Elder spoke.

Then, the Great Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder joined hands to open the Wanxiang Cave.

Crash …

Fang Chen's figure appeared in the forbidden grounds.

"Fang Chen, how is your harvest?" The Great Clan Elder anxiously asked after seeing that the Wanxiang Cave had disappeared.

"I managed to comprehend the Concept of Fire." Fang Chen truthfully arrived.

"What else?" the Second Elder asked.

Fang Chen shook his head and said, "No more."

"Have you not achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation?" The Great Elder asked, puzzled.

"Nope." Fang Chen said.

Hearing Fang Chen's words, the Great Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder's faces flashed with a trace of disappointment.

When the Wanxiang Cave cultivated, Fang Chen only managed to comprehend Concept of Fire, and did not achieve a breakthrough, which made the two elders feel a little regretful.

It seemed that Fang Chen would not be able to help the Divine Wind Sword Mansion in the future. He could only place his hopes on the other four Heavenly Kings.

"Fang Chen, have a good rest. Sect Competition will begin in five days." The Great Elder slowly said.

"That's right, Fang Chen. Don't be discouraged because your cultivation has not broken through. You are still very young." The Second Elder comforted Fang Chen, thinking that he was feeling very upset as well.
