Chapter 5 Five Qi Gathering at the Origin, Phoenix Descends into the Valley
A sea of fire poured down, engulfing the entire basin.
There were no screams, no struggles; thousands of ferocious beasts were burned to ashes the moment the flames fell, their souls not even having time to escape.
Where the flames swept, rocks melted, the earth cracked, and the malevolent energy was burned away, turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating. The entire basin was transformed into a scorched wasteland of churning lava.
Zi Chen extinguished the flames and stepped into the basin. The Taiyi Divine Gold Mine became even more dazzling under the scorching flames, and the crimson divine gold emitted a blazing light, like a fire dragon about to take off.
Zi Chen placed his hand on the vein and pulled hard.
The entire vein was uprooted from the depths of the earth by Zi Chen, stretching for thousands of miles, like a crimson dragon writhing in the void.
Zi Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, and the mineral vein rapidly shrank, transforming into a stream of crimson-gold light that he swallowed into his stomach.
The element of metal enters the body and integrates into the lungs.
A metallic clanging sound resonated within my lungs, clear and melodious, like the harmonious tolling of a set of chimes.
With each breath Zi Chen exhaled, a sharp edge appeared, cutting fine cracks into the space in front of him.
The gold element is complete.
Zi Chen did not linger here. He sensed that something else was waiting for him deep within this western region.
Continue westward.
Deep in the Western Regions, the mountains became even more treacherous, and the malevolent aura even stronger. Zi Chen slaughtered his way through, and all the ferocious beasts in his path were subdued. There was nothing that could withstand a single blow from him.
These ferocious beasts live on malevolent energy and have killing as their instinct. If they are not eliminated, they will surely become a great scourge in the future. Zi Chen did not hesitate to take action.
Upon reaching the westernmost point of the region, Zi Chen saw a mountain.
To be precise, it is a five-colored sacred mountain.
The sacred mountain is tens of thousands of feet high, and its entire body is filled with five-colored light. The five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black change in turn, just like the breath of the earth. Not a blade of grass grows on the mountain, only the five-colored divine light flows endlessly, repelling all the evil energy within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Zi Chen recognized the origin of this mountain.
Earth element gods and demons.
During the great calamity of creation, the Earth Elemental Demon was struck by Pangu's axe light, and its body fell here, transforming into this five-colored divine mountain.
Unlike other gods and demons, the Earth God and Demon's origin is extremely well preserved. The entire mountain is his body, and the five-colored radiance is the flow of his origin.
However, the ferocious beasts also discovered this sacred mountain. Countless ferocious beasts were entrenched on the mountain, tempering their bodies with five-colored divine light. Among them were ancient beings whose size was comparable to the mountain range, and whose aura was far stronger than that of the previous ferocious beasts.
Without wasting words, Zi Chen took action immediately.
The fire within his heart surged forth once more, transforming into a colossal furnace that enveloped the entire Five-Colored Divine Mountain.
Inside the furnace, the true fire of the sun, the true water of the moon, the essence of green wood, and the divine metal of Taiyi surged simultaneously, the power of the five elements intertwining into a chaotic flame, the temperature so high that even space itself began to melt.
The ferocious beasts on the mountain were incinerated the moment the flames fell. The ancient beast, whose size was comparable to the mountain range, struggled to escape, but Zi Chen used the power of time to freeze it in place, and could only watch helplessly as the flames engulfed it.
The flames burned for three whole days.
Three days later, Zi Chen extinguished the flames. The Five-Colored Divine Mountain had been completely refined, and the mountain body disappeared, leaving only a ball of five-colored primordial light floating in the void, as dazzling as a star.
Zi Chen swallowed the primordial light cluster.
The earth element, being the source of the body, enters and integrates into the spleen.
A profound sense of weight welled up within my spleen, as if the earth were taking root in my body.
The Five Elements are now complete.
The Five Elements converge.
Zi Chen stood in the void, the five elements within his body surging simultaneously.
The green wood energy in the liver transforms into a blue dragon with azure scales and green mane; the red fire energy in the heart transforms into a vermilion bird with red feathers and golden plumage; the yellow earth energy in the spleen transforms into a unicorn with prominent head and horns; the white metal energy in the lungs transforms into a white tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead; and the black water energy in the kidneys transforms into a black tortoise with a tortoise and snake coiled together.
The five elements took form, swirling and intertwining within Zi Chen's body, eventually converging in his chest to form a cloud platform with flowing five-colored light.
The five vital energies within the chest have now reached their perfect state.
Zi Chen's aura surged at that moment, breaking through the shackles of the Taiyi Peak and beginning to climb towards a higher realm, but he was still one step short.
The Five Qi Gathering at the Origin is merely the foundation; to truly enter the Great Luo realm, one needs the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
Just as Zi Chen was about to set off, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura coming from afar. It was vast and majestic, carrying an innate nobility and majesty, completely different from any other creature he had encountered in the prehistoric world.
Concealing his aura, Zi Chen disappeared into the spatial interlayer and looked in the direction from which the aura came.
A giant phoenix was slowly flying over the distant valley.
The phoenix was engulfed in seven-colored flames, its tail feathers stretching for thousands of miles, leaving a dazzling trail of light as it streaked across the sky. The great Dao of heaven and earth resonated around the phoenix, transforming into faint halos that made it appear as if it were the embodiment of the Dao itself.
Zi Chen glanced at it once and then looked away.
This phoenix carries an extremely prosperous fortune and is surrounded by the power of the Heavenly Dao. It is clearly a favorite of the Heavenly Dao. To attack her rashly is tantamount to making an enemy of the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, Zi Chen could sense that the phoenix's strength was no less than his own, and even if it made a move, it would probably take more than a few moves to defeat it.
The phoenix gradually disappeared into the distance, vanishing at the edge of the sky.
Zi Chen emerged from the space-time rift and arrived above the valley where the phoenix had just circled.
The valley was shrouded in an extremely ingenious array, within which the power of the five elements flowed and the yin and yang energies intertwined. If the array had not revealed a flaw when the phoenix departed, Zi Chen might not have been able to discover the secrets of this place.
Zi Chen raised his hand and pointed, and the power of time surged into the great formation. The power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements within the formation began to flow backward continuously. Time was reversed and space was collapsed. Soon, the magnificent formation in front of Zi Chen vanished as if it had never existed.
The valley is a hidden world, an almost independent little world, no more than ten thousand miles in circumference, yet its spiritual energy is so abundant that it is almost condensed into liquid.
In the center of this small world, two giant eggs floated silently in mid-air, each one taller than a person.
The giant egg on the left shimmered with black and white light, with yin and yang energies swirling and intertwining within it, sometimes clearly distinct, sometimes merging into one, evolving into endless variations.
The giant egg on the right is filled with five-colored light, and the power of the five elements interacts and counteracts each other within it, cycling endlessly and never stopping, making it extremely magnificent.
Zi Chen immediately recognized the origins of the two giant eggs.
Yin and Yang, gods and demons; Five Elements, gods and demons.
During the great calamity of creation, the Yin-Yang God and Demon and the Five Elements God and Demon were struck by the light of Pangu's axe, and their consciousness was directly obliterated by that overwhelming power, leaving only the purest origin that had not dissipated.
This origin, after countless twists and turns, eventually fell into the hands of the phoenix, who swallowed it and nurtured it with her own essence and blood, transforming it into these two giant eggs.
