Sitting cross-legged in the center of the spiritual storm, Feng Bingwen patiently guided the flow of immortal spiritual energy within his body, evolving his pulse patterns.
Pulse!
It is the foundation of cultivation; only those who can condense their Qi and open their meridians can continue to advance on the path.
The appearance formed by the immortal vein is related to three things: first, the cultivation techniques and supernatural powers practiced by the cultivator; second, the cultivator's own physique; and third, and most importantly, the cultivator's own will and understanding.
Therefore, even if people have the same physique and practice the same cultivation method, the resulting meridians will be different, and there may even be completely different situations.
It doesn't matter. No matter what kind of pulse pattern is cultivated, it can be divided into nine grades according to the atmosphere and grandeur it displays. The upper three grades have hope of becoming an immortal, the middle three grades can form the Yuan Dan, and the lower three grades, without heaven-defying opportunities, can only prolong life.
Of course, nothing in this world is absolute. The pulse pattern is not static; it will evolve to a certain extent and become more mysterious as the practitioner accumulates experience and insights.
Even so, those in the lower three ranks have little chance of achieving enlightenment; the saying that the pulse of a ninth-rank individual determines one's fate is not an empty claim.
The most advanced first-grade pulse will inevitably give rise to a variety of supernatural abilities. Depending on its affiliation, these abilities will often be used for purposes such as killing, protecting the path, and refining pills, saving ordinary cultivators the time spent practicing techniques. They can simply focus on cultivation.
Even though the pulse patterns of the middle three grades are not as profound as those of the upper three grades, cultivators can often comprehend one or two supernatural abilities from them, understand their own path of cultivation, and with the help of the pulse patterns, their progress in cultivation is far beyond that of the lower three grades.
At this moment, Feng Bingwen was developing his own pulse pattern. Initially, five-colored immortal light shone behind him, the five colors clearly distinct and not interfering with each other.
However, as Feng Bingwen evolved, the five directions, five elements, and five colors intermingled, presenting a hazy appearance. Yin and Yang energies were generated, and chaotic energy permeated the air, ultimately presenting a chaotic appearance.
This scene was naturally noticed by the six beings who remained on the mountaintop. Some goddesses were amazed, while others were disdainful.
"Chaos again! Ha, I'm really tired of seeing it."
"Third Brother, isn't this great?"
"Since I came into this world, I have seen at least eighty or a hundred chaotic phenomena. There is really nothing new about them."
The supreme being standing atop the twin-dragon chariot did not have a high opinion of the chaos evolved by Feng Bingwen.
"Besides, regardless of his origins, I'm certain he's not as ancient as us. How could a mere acquired being know what chaos is?"
"He has already evolved from the innate Five Elements!"
"It's just a legacy left by Fifth Sister. If it were up to him, he wouldn't even be able to perform the Five Elements."
"Why be so demanding? To have such a pulse is already quite good!"
"My expectations were too high. After all, he passed the nine tests left by my second brother, and this is the result. It really disappoints me!"
"What Third Brother said is not wrong. No matter what this child's background is, his acquired spiritual origins cannot be changed. The fact that he can evolve into chaos at this time is probably because he saw the arrangements left by Fifth Sister."
But this was useless; he hadn't witnessed it firsthand. The evolved chaotic form was vast but empty, merely a facade. It was better to honestly evolve the Five Elements.
The dazzling divine light transformed into nine divine rings, and the being that hung behind his head spoke. He was the supreme expert who was revered as the eldest brother by the other beings.
"Brother, take a closer look. This kid isn't evolving into chaos."
The young man in blue, who had patiently listened to his brothers and sisters' discussion, spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the five beings who could change the color of the sky and alter the terrain with a mere gesture all turned their attention to Feng Bingwen.
What did he evolve into?
At this moment, the dazzling Five Elements Immortal Light behind Feng Bingwen was gone, replaced by a hazy mist, a scene of chaos.
But within that churning, chaotic mist, something shaped like a chicken egg was slowly taking shape, seemingly gestating something within it.
"Chaos Gods and Demons?"
The goddess, who seemed to be the descent of the Moon Goddess, spoke at this moment, and Feng Bingwen, who was sitting cross-legged, was reflected in her eyes, which seemed to contain a galaxy.
"This kid has quite the ambition, but has he ever seen the gods and demons born from chaos?"
"Who knows? The fact that he was able to get this far and inherit Fifth Sister's Dao Fruit proves that he has an extraordinary background. We haven't seen Chaos, but we might have seen Chaos Gods and Demons. There are still such guys lying in wait in our world."
"To evolve into the form of gods and demons is far too foolish. Aren't you afraid that the gods and demons will seize your Dao fruit and turn you into food?"
"If it is confirmed that the god or demon has perished, then there is naturally no need for this worry; on the contrary, we can steal its power."
"Just who is this kid? I'm getting more and more curious."
On the divine chariot, a crimson-gold sun appeared, and within that sun, a tall and slender figure could be vaguely seen, exuding an aura of supreme dominance.
"Second Brother, could you please use your innate Bagua to perform some calculations?"
"I've already calculated it."
The young man in blue rolled his eyes.
What was the result?
Several curious gazes fell upon the young man in blue.
"Two lifetimes as mortals!"
Noticing the curious looks from his brothers and sisters, the young man in blue said irritably.
A hush fell over the room as all eyes remained on the young man in blue, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
"Why are you still staring at me? I've already told you the results of my divination."
That's it?
An incredulous voice rang out.
That's all.
The young man in blue seemed annoyed by the questioning of his own brother, who shared the same bloodline; his voice carried a hint of exasperation.
"No matter how many times I calculate it, this kid is just a mortal with nothing outstanding about him. He just likes to meddle in other people's business in this life, and he also has great luck. Some time ago, he even helped a dragon overcome its tribulation."
"?"
The crimson-gold sun on the divine chariot expanded slightly, then contracted; the entity within it seemed to have been shaken.
"Second brother, do you know what you're saying?"
“I know you think it’s absurd, but it’s true. This kid hasn’t even started cultivating yet, and he’s already involved with a real dragon. But in my divination, this kid’s origins are those of a mortal.”
"Yes, I understand. You don't need to ask anymore. Second brother has done his best."
The eldest brother spoke, making the final decision. The other transcendent beings turned their heads away in perfect unison, all having the same thought in their hearts.
mortal?
That's bullshit.
The result was obvious. The second brother, who was the most skilled at divination among the siblings and even had mastered the supernatural power of the Eight Trigrams, failed in his divination. The result of his divination was clearly a mockery and a provocation, blatantly treating him like a fool.
Who would believe that?
A mortal? Even a fool wouldn't believe that!
The summit of the sacred mountain fell into silence, with only the rumbling and howling sounds of the surging spiritual energy. In the center of the spiritual energy storm, countless essences of the five elements had transformed into a spiritual lake, immersing Feng Bingwen within it.
On this spirit lake, which is purely formed from the purest spiritual energy, five spirit eggs floated, each shining with a different color: white, blue, black, red, and yellow. Their colors were pure and uniform, making them particularly eye-catching in the spirit lake.
As the wind-borne veins evolved, the egg-shaped object within the chaos became increasingly solid, even outlining the form of an infant curled up, sleeping with its body wrapped around its knees.
Click!
It wasn't the egg in Feng Bingwen's chaotic scene that shattered, but rather a crimson egg that shattered on the spiritual lake, which was being protected by the five-colored immortal light emanating from his body, and a figure stood up from it.
This was like a signal. Almost at the same moment, four other spirit eggs followed suit and shattered one after another, leaving four humanoid figures standing.
boom!
In an instant, the surging spiritual tide stopped, and then, as if it had been interfered with, it collapsed and turned into a sky full of spiritual mist, which drifted in the sky, colorful and beautiful, like a sacred realm between immortals and mortals.
At that very moment, Feng Bingwen slowly opened his eyes, and he immediately noticed five figures guarding him in the center, arranged according to the five elements.
The Five Innate Elements Protect the Body!
Feng Bingwen naturally understood the origin of these five figures; they were the five elemental guardian spirits that naturally accompanied him when he transformed into the innate five-elemental body.
The magnificent celestial phenomenon that he triggered as soon as he emerged from the immortal gourd was to provide the conditions for the birth of these five guardian spirits.
Therefore, when these five guardian spirits were born, the strange phenomenon that swept across countless miles collapsed instantly. What Feng Bingwen saw at this moment was the five guardian spirits absorbing the essence of the five elements and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the force of a whale swallowing.
Feng Bingwen could sense that the aura emanating from these five guardian spirits quickly rose to a level equal to his own. In terms of cultivation realm, they were at the same level, but their specific combat strength was currently unknown.
"Kid, how's it going?"
The young man in blue robes was still completely unremarkable, but Feng Bingwen could only notice him at this moment, though he could only see him. His spiritual sense still couldn't perceive him; in his perception, that area was empty, with nothing there.
"The Tao is profound and mysterious, and cannot be fully described."
Feng Bingwen replied that it was difficult for him to describe his transformation process in words.
All he knew was that after this ordeal, he had been completely transformed. Becoming an immortal was no longer a question he needed to consider; what he needed to think about now was how to achieve immortality.
"Hmm, not bad. In that case, your connection with this place ends here!"
The young man in blue spoke, which immediately startled Feng Bingwen, who still wanted to chat with him. He raised his hand in an attempt to persuade him to stay.
"Senior, wait a minute!"
"Go away, go away! You have no connection with us!"
The young man in blue seemed to have seen through Feng Bingwen's intentions. He reached out and gently wiped his hand, and the world changed.
