All things in the world originate from the Five Elements.
If one's water elemental root is advanced enough, and one cultivates it to a high level, one can use ice-type spells.
The combination of water and fire can generate wind...
Similarly, if one has sufficient talent in the Metal and Water elemental roots, one can cast lightning-based spells.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
Everything returns to its original state, and fortunes change. Even if one has a metal-type spiritual root, it is not uncommon for them to unleash an ice-type attack if they cultivate it to its extreme.
Azure is known as the Five Yang Mystic Venerable, and his fire-type spiritual root must be extraordinary. However, after the Five Yangs merged, his entire body was covered in lightning.
With a slight flash, a kilometer's distance is covered in an instant.
It's hard to imagine how strong he would be without the suppression of the martial arts arena!
However, Ye Feng's Divine Eye Condensation was no joke either; no matter how fast Wei Lan was or how strong her attack was, it wouldn't be a match for him.
He could easily defend himself by simply rotating his sword.
Moreover, every attack from Azure was scorched by the black flames.
This black flame, whether ethereal or physical, is like a maggot clinging to a bone, unable to be extinguished until the spiritual energy is exhausted.
The two clashed nearly a hundred times in the blink of an eye. Not only did Wei Lan gain no advantage, but her five yang energies were depleted, and her body began to shrink...
Just as his gaze hardened and he was about to attack again, Ye Feng suddenly spoke up.
"Got you!"
"Bang!"
Previously, the weapons that clashed with Azure's fists and feet were all the Thousand Illusion Greatswords.
But this time, it was Ye Feng's left hand!
Black flames burned against the azure sky, and the power of lightning also caused Ye Feng's red body to peel away piece by piece, revealing his skeleton...
In that brief moment of stunned silence, Ye Feng clenched his right fist and struck forward!
"boom!"
The massive, azure body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing straight into the edge of the formation.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng kicked off with his left foot.
"call!"
Its massive body surged forward as if in a flash.
He was still somewhat unskilled at applying the Dragon Soaring Body Technique to his giant body.
But the azure lightning phantom that had just appeared gave Ye Feng a lot of inspiration.
Therefore, although he was controlling a giant, his movements were not cumbersome at all.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng was in front of Wei Lan...
Stop!
A barrier appeared between the two.
Ye Feng's punch landed on it as if he had hit a ball of cotton, unable to gain any impact.
Azure lowered her defensive hands and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as he let out that breath, his body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, instantly transforming into a normal human form.
The injuries he sustained while fighting the "Giants" have all disappeared, but he looks much more disheveled than before, with many red and swollen marks on his hands.
Ye Feng withdrew his fist, blinked, and the "Divine Eye Armor" disappeared, his eyes returning to normal.
"Senior Brother Wei, how about we call this a draw?"
Ye Feng also realized that Wei Lan's move couldn't be used for a long time, while his Divine Eye Armor could be used for a day or two as long as he had enough mental energy.
However, if Azure can maintain its peak combat power, then he really has no way to deal with it.
A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat; it might very well result in our own downfall.
Saying it was a draw wasn't just a way of being modest.
Wei Lan looked at Ye Feng with a complex and unreadable expression. He had been feeling somewhat frustrated because he couldn't burn more of his spiritual root in battle.
But considering that Ye Feng had never even entered the Five Spirit Pool... his resentment immediately subsided.
With such talent, if one could enter the Five Spirit Pool beforehand to awaken powerful supernatural abilities, and then combine it with the secret technique of burning spiritual roots... how strong would that be?
Azure stood solemnly.
"I lost this match, but I still have one last trump card to use. So, you are still my junior brother, and it should be my responsibility to protect you!"
After Wei Lan finished speaking, she turned to Zhou Yongcheng.
"Senior Brother, I was careless in my cultivation before and arrogant. Now Junior Brother Ye has taught me a lesson. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation in the future and no longer cause my senior brothers and sisters any worry!"
The once carefree and impulsive Wei Lan seemed to have matured in an instant, and Zhou Yongcheng couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"It's never too late if you try! The battle is over, let's make peace!"
After Zhou Yongcheng finished speaking, Wei Lan stretched out her left hand, each of her five fingertips rotating a different vortex of spiritual energy, facing Ye Feng.
"I'm the senior brother, so I'll use my left hand, and you'll use your right!"
Ye Feng, not understanding why, stretched out his right hand and did the same.
"Smack!"
palms together
"Bang! Bang bang..."
Five clusters of spiritual energy converged and, guided by the azure sky, shot into the sky, bursting into five "fireworks"!
"This is a gesture of reconciliation between fellow disciples, but it's only used on formal occasions. Don't set off fireworks indiscriminately under normal circumstances!"
Ye Feng:...
Wow, you guys are so romantic!
The reconciliation ceremony concluded, and Wei Lan, sword in hand, solemnly declared.
"The Tao has five elements that transcend all laws; the primordial chaos returns to its original state as desired."
"This is the chanting poem of our Five Elements Sect, Junior Brother Ye, you must never forget it!"
"However... there are quite a few enemies outside, so I rarely announce my participation. Junior Brother Ye, you can handle it yourself!"
After Wei Lan finished speaking, she turned to Zhou Yongcheng.
"Senior Brother, I have some insights and need to go into seclusion immediately. I won't be able to attend Junior Brother's initiation ceremony. As for gifts... I contributed two million spirit stones before, that's all I can offer. Junior Brother, farewell!"
Azure left as soon as she finished speaking, without taking a single cloud with her.
He looked like a wise man.
This surprised several familiar fellow disciples, who couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.
Next comes the initiation ceremony.
The Five Elements Sect only had a handful of members, and almost all of its complicated rules and regulations were abolished.
In summary, there are two points.
First, I have never joined a sect of level seven or above created by someone else.
Second, one must not betray the sect or kill fellow disciples.
However, Liang Yuxian and the others have not yet officially joined the sect, and they still have to wait for their second senior sister to pick them up.
While waiting in the training ground, Ye Feng, Meng Jing, and Qin Rou all completed the reconciliation ceremony.
However, the way Eighth Junior Sister Qin Rou looked at him was somewhat...
Seeing that Ye Feng was distracted, Zhou Yongcheng assumed it was about the Five Spirit Pool and offered some words of comfort.
"The Five Spirit Pool... the sooner the better. The three junior sisters are at the Golden Core stage, which is perfect for them now. However, once their supernatural abilities are fixed, this spiritual root replenishment and conversion... will lose its effect."
"Supplemental conversion?"
"The Five Spirit Pool is formed by the earth veins of the Five Elements Divine Mountain combined with an eighth-grade spiritual spring. By soaking in it periodically, one can replenish lower-grade spiritual root attributes to the same level as higher-grade attributes..."
"Um?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Zhou Yongcheng.
"So... the Five Elements Pool can replenish the five elemental roots, making them balanced?"
Seeing Ye Feng's surprised expression, Zhou Yongcheng nodded solemnly.
"It was a temporary supplement to form a pseudo-spiritual root. It is precisely because of this miracle that the cultivation speed of cultivators from my Five Elements Sect is actually no slower than that of ordinary single or dual spiritual roots!"
"Moreover, if one soaks in the Five Elements Pool before advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, using a pseudo-balanced spiritual root as a foundation, one can awaken powerful divine abilities! Only then can one use the Five Elements Sect's transcendent skill—the Spiritual Root Burning Technique!"
Ye Feng stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape. It took him several breaths to process this news.
After a long while, he pinched his chin, closed his mouth, and asked,
"So... what Senior Brother Wei used before was the Spirit Root Burning Method? As long as the five elements of the spiritual root are balanced, one can learn it?"
Zhou Yongcheng: "Not bad!"
Ye Feng: ....
