Chapter 389 The Secret Realm of Five Elements Heaven
"Master?" Li Fan felt a little dazed when he heard this word.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, it is not easy to cultivate on your own. Who would still teach and answer questions?
Ever since he started practicing cultivation, he has never seen a proper master-disciple relationship in all these years.
With curiosity, Li Fan looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Beside the giant Dust-crossing boat, there stood two monks, one old and one young, whose clothes and temperament were very similar.
Both of them were wearing blue shirts. The older one had white hair and a youthful face with a ruddy complexion, while the younger one had a weathered face and looked like he had seen through the world.
What surprised Li Fan was that the childish voice he had just heard actually came from the mouth of a white-haired old man.
He looked confused, looked down at the child beside him with curiosity, and asked.
The child looked no more than five or six years old, but the words he spoke were definitely not those of a child.
“Everything comes from nothing, and everything returns to nothing.”
"The five elements return to one, and it just becomes what it originally was."
The boy in green shirt replied with a smile.
The old man in green thought about it and suddenly knew the answer. He said happily, "I know, Master. What you mean is that soon this place will return to a chaotic void, just like what we saw before. Is that right?"
The child chuckled and looked at the old man with kind eyes: "You are right. If there is no external interference and it is allowed to develop and evolve freely, it will indeed be like this."
"But if one day, an outsider breaks in here and takes away some of the materials in this cave, then it's hard to say what will happen."
The child looked at the Five Elements Cave below and sighed.
Li Fan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the master and disciple in front of him.
The old man and the child completely ignored Li Fan.
The old man frowned, as if he was pondering his master's words.
After a moment, he suddenly realized: "In this cave, the five elements flow, blend into one, and are flawless. One can be transformed into five, and the five elements can return to one. But if an outsider takes a part of each of the five elements, it will cause the five elements to become unbalanced. Then..."
"Then……"
Having said this, the old man seemed to be stuck, and couldn't think of anything to say next.
The green-shirted child sneered and continued, "In fact, if it is only a small-scale, long-term grab, the Five Elements Cave Heaven will rely on its own properties to circulate and self-regulate, and it will not cause the Five Elements to become unbalanced."
"I'm afraid that within a short period of time, we will only plunder a few caves with certain attributes for a large amount of resources..."
"The regulation mechanism of the cave is not enough, causing the five elements in the cave to lose balance completely."
"Master, what will happen after the balance is completely lost?" the old man in green asked curiously.
The boy in green clothes stopped smiling at this time: "Do you still remember the Five Elements Sect that your master told you about?"
The old man nodded and said, "My disciple remembers. The Five Elements Sect is a subsidiary sect of the Great Dao Sect. I saw their leader when he came to visit our Du'e Sect a few years ago!"
At this moment, Li Fan, who heard the conversation between the master and the disciple, was shocked.
Finally, it was confirmed that the two people in front of him did not really exist on this Duchen Boat.
But it is an illusion similar to a mirage!
The conversation between the master and the disciple seemed to take place in the ancient world of immortal cultivation where the catastrophe had not yet arrived and the sects still existed.
Li Fan looked around and found that people were coming and going on the Duchen Boat, but for some reason, no one except himself could see this illusion.
Without saying anything, Li Fan continued to observe the conversation between the ancient Du'e Sect master and disciple.
The green-shirted child continued, "The Five Elements Sect was actually quite powerful back then. Apart from the ten sects of our Immortal Dao, it was one of the most powerful sects in Xuanhuang Realm. There is a secret realm in the sect called [Five Elements Heaven]. It is almost a world of its own, and the abundance of resources is endless."
"It is far superior to the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven here."
"Relying on this secret realm, if the Five Elements Sect develops slowly, after hundreds or thousands of years, it may be able to become the world's leading sect."
"It's a pity that the former head of the Five Elements Sect, Lan Xiangfengshu, was short-sighted..."
Having said this, the boy in green snorted coldly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
The old man in green shirt opened his eyes wide, dared not speak, and waited for the next step.
After a while, the boy in green clothes said, "At that time, it was said that the Heavenly Sword Sect needed a huge amount of Taiyuan Refined Gold in order to forge the legendary World-Breaking Divine Weapon."
"This Taiyuan refined gold is extremely rare. It only randomly occurs in metal veins and is hard to come by. The Tianjian Sect has already plundered almost all of it that can be found on the market, and it is still far from what we need."
"I heard that there might be a large amount of stock in the Five Elements Heaven Secret Realm of the Five Elements Sect. So the head of the Heaven Sword Sect went to ask for it personally."
"How arrogant is that notorious old man, to actually bow down to the Five Elements Sect. Lan Xiangfeng was immediately overwhelmed with joy and didn't know what to do."
"Plus, the offer from the Heavenly Sword Sect was so high that all the elders from the Five Elements Sect were persuaded."
"So the Five Elements Sect began to dig up [Tai Yuan Jing Jin] in the secret realm. This alone would not have caused the tragedy that followed."
"But they just listened to someone who bewitched them and said that the various metal ores mined during the excavation should not be wasted, so they might as well sell them. Other sects also heard that the Five Elements Sect had a large amount of metal ores, and they came to buy them."
"Blinded by greed, the Five Elements Sect's efforts to dig for gold-attributed mineral veins have become increasingly frantic."
"They think they don't have enough manpower, so they even hire independent practitioners."
"Finally one day, a large amount of gold was lost, causing the properties of the Five Elements to become unbalanced."
"It is inevitable that it will evolve towards a state of extinction where the five elements return to one."
"And when the missing metal element could no longer satisfy the need for the five elements to return to one, the remaining four elements of wood, water, fire and earth experienced a disordered, never-ending energy collision..."
"The final result was that a huge explosion completely destroyed the Five Elements Heaven."
"The losses suffered by the entire Five Elements Sect are far beyond description. The core members were almost wiped out, and they have never recovered since then."
"In order to survive, we can only take the initiative to join the Da Dao Sect and become a subsidiary sect based on the little bit of incense we had back then."
After this speech, the boy in blue clothes sighed endlessly.
Li Fan, who was listening in, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Isn’t the experience of the ancient Five Elements Heaven exactly the same as that of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven today?
So, after the five elements are unified, a shocking explosion will also occur here?
Cursing inwardly, Li Fan looked at the master and disciples of Du'e Sect again, only to find that their figures were becoming more and more blurred.
The sound of words opening and closing the mouth could not be heard clearly.
