Countless ages later, a person will be born from the chaos, formed from the power of chaos and the will of the Heavenly Dao. Wielding a giant axe, he will cleave the chaos apart with a single stroke.
The clear floats upward, the turbid sinks downward, and finally they differentiate into heaven and earth, thus creating a world. Within this world, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the fundamental forces that constitute the original world.
The five elements interact with each other, generating and restraining each other, and can continuously evolve into more attributes. A world gradually becomes complete and perfected through such evolution.
"So that's how it is. The Five Elements Divine Soul represents something second only to the Chaos Divine Soul; it is primordial power."
Gu Yifeng understood immediately, and slowly raised his hand. The power of the five elements immediately appeared in his hand, each attribute representing its own power.
The origin of metal represents all metallic substances on the continent. Swords, spears, and halberds are all forged from it, thus it governs killing and possesses a chilling aura. This is the power of the Great Dao of Metal.
The origin of wood symbolizes all the plants and trees on the continent. It can become food for all living beings and also become herbs to heal injuries. All trees are in the spring, so it governs life and has the power to make withered trees bloom and withered grass sprout. This is the great way of wood.
The origin of water is all the water sources on the continent. It is the beginning of all things. Without water, any world would eventually wither and die. It governs the power of Yin and Yang. This is the Great Way of Water.
The origin of fire represents the flames on the continent, an indispensable part of the world's evolution. The existence of flames can burn all things and turn them into ashes; this is the Great Way of Fire.
The origin of earth represents all the land on the continent, the place where all living beings live. Because it is turbid and heavy, it also represents the turbid air in the chaos, and holds the power of suppression and bearing. This is the Great Dao of earth.
When the Five Elements Dao are combined into one, they become the original Dao that forms a world. Gu Yifeng had been contemplating this for a long time, but it did not end there. With a thought, the Five Elements power in his hand began to interact.
When gold and fire meet, they instantly transform into thunder and lightning, producing a series of explosive sounds. This is the fusion of the chilling gold and the burning fire.
As the water and soil mingled, a chilling aura instantly spread out, transforming into frozen earth. The power of yin and the power of suppression intersected, and finally, ice and snow dispersed.
...
After trying out all the combinations of the five elements in his hands, Gu Yifeng found it increasingly interesting and gained a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Dao. It took a full hour for the world before him to evolve into the Continent of Radiant Light before his consciousness was kicked out of this space.
When I came to my senses again, my consciousness had already returned to my body, and I was back in the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm.
However, whether it was just his imagination or not, Gu Yifeng felt as he returned that a red line seemed to be spreading out from his body, extending to an unknown destination.
When I tried to take a closer look, the five-colored light of the Heavenly Spirit had already dissipated, and the entire Vermilion Bird Secret Realm had become completely quiet, leaving only the surrounding quiet crimson mountains.
"That thread is filled with my scent, but it's so strange..."
Gu Yifeng frowned and muttered to himself. He was certain that he hadn't misread it; with the Eye of Concealment, he couldn't possibly be seeing things.
"There is indeed a red line, but wouldn't you like to stabilize your cultivation level a bit, host?"
The system's voice spoke with absolute certainty, and only then did Gu Yifeng remember to look inward at his dantian, which startled him.
Although the spiritual energy in his dantian was almost completely depleted, his senses were correct; his cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Taixu Realm!
It is at the same level as the Five Elements Dragon Soul.
The Tai Xu Realm is unlike other realms. It allows for a rapid advancement of a minor realm in a short period, which can easily leave hidden dangers. These dangers may not be noticeable in normal times, but they will erupt when a breakthrough occurs, leading to failure or even death.
Gu Yifeng pondered for a moment, then sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the secret realm, circulating it continuously. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his mind gradually calmed down.
The reason for his breakthrough this time seems to be that his consciousness was contemplating the Five Elements Dao, and his physical body unconsciously started to operate under the influence of the Dao's aura, operating along with his consciousness.
Once the spiritual energy within the body is depleted, the consciousness can no longer remain in the cosmos and will return.
After experiencing the power within his body, he was relieved to find that this breakthrough had not left any hidden dangers, because due to his comprehension of the Great Dao, the Daoist aura within his body had not yet dissipated.
The Dao Seed obtained in the Taihang Mountains has now transformed into a lotus flower. Although the bud has not yet opened, one can sense the five elements within it, and the tips of the petals peeking out from the bud are tinged with five colors.
This is the power of the Five Elements.
Feeling the immense power emanating from within his body, Gu Yifeng was finally able to calm down. It wasn't until an hour later, when his spiritual energy was completely replenished, that he looked up at the sky.
"Having obtained the Vermilion Bird inheritance, this secret realm is meaningless to me. However, I'm afraid I need to leave Vermilion Bird Mountain as soon as possible."
Gu Yifeng sighed, surprised that he had broken through so quickly, without even making any preparations.
Above the Tai Xu Realm, breaking through to a minor realm requires experiencing a tribulation of lightning. However, the tribulations of minor realms are not powerful and are generally within the range that cultivators can handle.
Now, because they are inside the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm, the Heavenly Tribulation cannot descend. However, looking at the spatial vortex that Crimson Profound Mountain has prepared for the exit from the secret realm behind him, he can already hear the muffled thunder outside.
Even the fact that his dantian started to pulsate on its own meant that his departure would immediately attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, causing the formation of tribulation clouds.
"Let's give it our all!"
Gu Yifeng cursed under his breath, took out the Boundless Immortal Boat, sat inside, and then activated the space travel function the instant he manipulated the boat to pass through the spatial vortex.
The next moment, he appeared ten miles away from Vermilion Bird Mountain. He put away his immortal boat in just three breaths, and then a series of muffled thunderclaps rang out, and dark clouds slowly gathered.
"Young Master!"
In the distance, Xuan Che was the first to sense the sudden appearance of Gu Yifeng's aura and was about to go over when he was held back by Chi Xuanshan.
"Don't go! Didn't you see his current state? He must have just broken through in the secret realm. Now the tribulation for breaking through a minor realm has arrived. It's not a big problem at all. If you go, you will only increase the intensity of the tribulation."
Chi Xuanshan frowned slightly as he spoke, not expecting Gu Yifeng's realm to break through so quickly. In any case, the Vermilion Bird Clan has now formed an alliance with this young man, and he only hopes that this young man can lead the four clans back to glory.
...
Gu Yifeng glanced at Xuan Che and the others indifferently, revealed a smile, and then summoned two avatars of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. The three figures floated in mid-air at the same time.
The three figures simultaneously drew runes in mid-air, which quickly transformed into a large array of runes. Ten breaths later, a thick crimson light shield enveloped the three figures.
