Seeing the strange phenomenon rising into the sky, Shen Lian felt so angry that his teeth itched, but he could do nothing about it.

The most important thing right now is not the strange phenomena outside, but to deal with the changes in the body as soon as possible.

Then wander off.

"Um?"

At this moment, his body trembled violently, and he felt that every inch of flesh and blood in his body was emitting a feeling of hunger.

Immediately, the spirit gathering array prepared in advance in the five-element iron barrel started to work. Pieces of middle-grade spirit stones broke apart and turned into long rivers of spiritual energy that were wandering and were drawn into his body.

At this moment, there was no need to practice any skills at all, the long river of spiritual energy directly poured into the body.

With the support of spiritual energy, the five kinds of spiritual light bursting out from the dantian, namely yellow, white, black, green and red, became even brighter.

Five colors sparkled on the forked spiritual roots, and at this moment, runes with natural charm began to emerge.

The ultimate truths of heaven and earth are evolved within the runes, constantly rushing into the flesh, blood, and internal organs.

Shen Lian does not understand the true meaning of these runes now, but he knows that his body is undergoing a deeper transformation.

The forked spiritual roots continuously released five-colored runes, which interacted with each other endlessly and in a cycle. Shen Lian was completely immersed in the mystery.

Overall, it was too mysterious, making him feel a bit like a wild boar that couldn't eat fine bran.

Shen Lian could only passively accept all these changes. Of course, even if he wanted to take the initiative, he had no way to move.

After the blood, flesh, and five internal organs have been baptized, the five elements of energy form a large circulation in the body. This circulation is not just in the meridians where the magic power runs, but is an overall circulation from head to toe connecting the dantian.

Earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, and fire gives birth to earth. Five different kinds of energies thus intertwine and change.

In this state, Shen Lian could not feel the passage of time. He seemed to have experienced a long time in a trance, but he also had the illusion that it was only a breath.

When the body was completely filled with the five kinds of circulating energy, the small branch spiritual root deep in the Dantian sea shook slightly and actually grew a little bit longer, becoming a five-inch small tree.

The color of the little tree changes with every breath. Sometimes it is black, sometimes it is yellow, and sometimes it becomes three colors, four colors, or five colors. In short, it is constantly changing.

The five-colored talismans released by the small tree before turned into five-colored mist, floating between every inch of flesh and blood, giving a feeling of a cluster of flowers.

“It really turned into a small tree.”

Shen Lian was not surprised when he sensed the spiritual roots.

When his five spiritual roots were perfected, his mind was trapped in the hazy and dark time and space, but he saw an incomparably huge tree with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, earth, water, wind, fire, and hazy giant beasts on its branches.

Compared with the giant trees he had seen before, the size of his spiritual root was only slightly larger than the calves of his fellow Taoists.

Not worth mentioning.

"That's not right. The spiritual root is a little too big."

Then, Shen Lian showed a look of slight confusion.

While practicing all the way to the Golden Elixir stage, he also searched through the spiritual memories of many cultivators.

Although a cultivator's spiritual roots are a secret and it is difficult for outsiders to sense their status with their spiritual thoughts, a cultivator's description of his or her own spiritual roots can be found through soul searching.

At least in the memories of the cultivators whose souls he had searched, the memories of their spiritual roots were all in the shape of a small stick, and the color was related to their own attributes.

For the fire element, the spiritual root is red, and for the water, earth and wood spiritual roots, they are black, yellow and green. The higher the level of the spiritual root, the brighter the color will be.

"It is said that in ancient times, cultivators did not rely on spiritual roots to practice, and everyone could become an immortal. This man has both spiritual roots and a spiritual body. Could it be that this man is the reincarnation of a true immortal?"

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth twitched twice, otherwise how could he have such an opportunity?

"What is the relationship between spiritual roots and spiritual bodies?"

Although he has awakened the five elements spirit body, Shen Lian still has no clear understanding of the opportunity for his awakening. The only thing he can sense is that his spiritual power has suddenly surged by thousands of feet and its purity has doubled.

For the rest, you can see the spiritual roots branching out.

By the way, the colorful mist that had previously surrounded the spiritual roots became more abundant, and hazy runes appeared, melting into the flesh and blood.

"We should capture a few more cultivators in the future to see their spiritual roots."

"It would be best if we could capture a spiritual monk."

Soon, Shen Lian no longer had time to think about it. He sensed a consciousness feedback from the location of his spiritual root.

"Yin Yang Five Elements Qi, what is this?"

The mysterious feedback made Shen Lian hesitate for a moment before he realized that it should be the five-colored mist lingering between the flesh and blood in his body.

When the spiritual root was just perfected, runes had not yet evolved inside the five-colored mist, and a thin layer gathered around the spiritual root.

During one of his previous battles, he incorporated this five-colored mist, causing his attack power to surge.

"No, if this group of five-colored mist is the power of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, then my previous Tianyan Five Elements Domain can also purify ores and nourish spiritual ink. Are these two things one or two?"

"Or is it that the five-colored mist is actually the external manifestation of the Five Elements Domain?"

"Can this Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi be transformed into magical powers?"

…

"No, no, it's too early to draw a conclusion as to whether Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi are related to the Five Elements Domain."

…

"It would be great if it could become a five-colored divine light, so I can use it to brush fellow Taoist's magic weapon."

"I am really crying. There are both weapon refining and pill refining, but why not a five-element spirit body annotation book?"

“It’s difficult.”

…

Inside the cave, Shen Lian was caught in a state of entanglement and transformation, but outside the mountains and fields became lively.

When the first ray of five-colored divine light shot up into the sky, the first people to see it were a few Qi-cultivating monks passing by nearby.

Although this area is barren and not on the route of the spirit ship, it is safe because of this, and some Qi-cultivating monks will also pass by here.

Suddenly, a dazzling five-colored light burst out from the mountains shrouded by the third-level magic array.

This was clearly told to the monks.

Are you blind? Look, there might be a treasure here.

The brighter the spiritual light, the greater the opportunity.

Several of the Qi-cultivating monks who were passing by hesitated for a long time and then quickly fled away. However, the resources were so attractive that some monks could not resist the temptation and headed towards the place where the five-colored spiritual light was rising into the sky.

But when they got here, they were dumbfounded. With their limited skills, how could they see clearly what was going on?

All I can say is, wow, that’s awesome.

I'm out of words to describe it.

If we can't figure out what's going on, then the next step is to spread rumors.

"Uncle, I'm in... a secret place. The void is really distorted, and the mountains are swaying like waves. It must be a secret place."

"You are looking for death. Why don't you get back here quickly after you encounter the secret realm?"

…

“Elder, I really won’t lie to you about the senior’s cave.”

“This should be a magical medicine hidden deep in the earth veins.”

…

On the third day, the first foundation-building cultivator was attracted over and tried to get close to it.

However, as soon as the divine consciousness was stretched out and had not yet gotten close, it was knocked away by an invisible wave.

He rolled over and vomited blood until he crashed into the mountain. He was completely stunned. It took him a long time before he realized what was happening.

Shake people.

“Ancestor…”

…

"Master, I discovered a secret realm."

"I dare not deceive Master. If I tell even a single lie, I am willing to be punished by the old master's back-bending attack."

"Hehehe...Good disciple, the master will be there soon."

On the fourth day, the strange phenomenon that occurred in this mountainous area had already reached the ears of the nearby Jindan Sect.

Some fake elixir and golden elixir monks set out from the sect.

Practicing Qi, building foundation, fake elixir, golden elixir, demon king, devil cultivator, evil cultivator, in short, there are a lot of slacking off.

The place where Shen Lian practiced in seclusion was carefully selected. It did not belong to any sect, and it was far away from the territories controlled by several nearby Jindan sects.

However, when the vision appeared.

Several major sects in the surrounding area, including Yangshan Valley, Canling Sect, and Luoxia Sect, emerged one after another.

They all announced that this area was the original territory of their sect.

Even Baishan Sect, another sect far away from this area, urgently dispatched Jindan cultivators to announce that their sect had control over this area since ancient times.

No one cares about a wasteland, but people will fight for it once it is cultivated.

As for the other monks who heard the news, there were even more of them who came to join in the fun.

This place is not far from the mining city. Some cultivators are not careful with their words, especially some large chambers of commerce who will spend spirit stones to purchase all kinds of information.

The cultivator who is the first to provide accurate information will receive a lot of spirit stones.

This results in the fact that once something happens in the world of immortal cultivation, it will spread very quickly.

"Five-colored spiritual light rises into the sky. That place is too barren. It should not be a spiritual medicine. It is most likely a secret place, or the cave of a cultivator with five spiritual roots."

Low-level Qi training monks are big mouths, but for Jindan monks, they still have independent judgment.

"Five-color spiritual light?"

In a room in the corner of an inconspicuous market town in the Tianzhu Mountain mining area, a figure who was sitting cross-legged and practicing suddenly opened his eyes.

Holding a jade talisman for communication in his hand, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"It's better to go and take a look. My magic power is already thirsty and I need some fellow Taoists to quench my thirst."

After he finished speaking, the monk's figure trembled violently, and his body began to mist up little by little, then flowed into the earth like water, leaving behind a pool of sticky black water.

…

Inside the cave.

Shen Lian did not expect that the awakening of his five elements spirit would last for nearly twenty days.

Fortunately, we had made sufficient preparations beforehand and had set up a spirit gathering array with medium-grade spirit stones in advance, thus avoiding the dilemma of insufficient spiritual energy.

Just like that, tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones that had been prepared were also sucked dry.

The movements in the body finally calmed down.

But outside the body... No, the noise outside the cave is quite loud.

Dahei didn't dare to go out to look for the black-horned ants. Instead, the black-horned ants crawled into the cave one by one to report to him.

It took more than twenty days to awaken the five elements spirit body, and the time for the strange phenomenon to soar into the sky was almost half a month. How could it not be attractive?

"Much thunder, little rain."

Shen Lian's spiritual sense swept across the outside and found that although there were many cultivators gathered, there were only four Jindan cultivators, five Jiadan cultivators, hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, and a group of Qi-training cultivators.

This number of people is not enough for him to activate the combined formation.

Of course, this also shows that his choice of location was correct. If it was in a place with rich spiritual energy, the number of monks attracted would definitely be doubled, and the danger would be even greater.

"Forget it, let's retreat first."

Shen Lian did not check the changes in his body first, but got up, packed up the cave, and prepared to run away.

"Would you like to try out your own teleportation array?"

After cleaning up the cave and eliminating the aura, he came to the teleportation array that had been set up in advance.

At present, the strength of the cultivators outside is not very strong, so he can leave easily without using this teleportation array.

Then, Shen Lian put away the teleportation array.

The moment the combined formation covering the mountains and fields disappeared, his figure also disappeared into the distance.

The mountains and fields shook violently, and the illusion created by the magic array disappeared, returning to the original scene.

The changes at this moment were so rapid that ordinary cultivators could not detect it at all, but some Jindan cultivators did notice it.

His divine sense swept across, and he felt that the lush mountains and fields had changed a little from before, with a collapsed cave now inside.

Swish! Swish! Swish! In an instant, the monks surrounding from all directions rushed towards the collapsed cave, overturning mountains and rocks one by one.

Where is the secret realm? Where is the cave? Oh, it collapsed.

…

Shen Lian fled away without stopping and went straight away two thousand miles away.

He originally wanted to leave, so he let Dahei out.

"You&…&%…￥…￥."

"clear?"

Dahei nodded.

Soon, Dahei became busy, and Shen Lian disappeared on the spot.

…

Half a month later.

Shen Lian woke up in the training room which was thirty meters wide. The colorful spiritual light on his body flickered as if he was struck by lightning.

As his eyes opened and closed, a flash of inspiration appeared.

[Shen Lian: Peak of the Middle Stage of Golden Core]

[Five Elements Tree Spiritual Roots: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are complete (initial fusion 1/100)]

[Constitution: Five Elements Spirit Body (initial awakening)]

[Magic Power: Heavenly Five Elements Domain]

"The energy of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements?"

After the fusion of the five spiritual roots, a five-element tree spiritual root was transformed.

What the hell is a tree spirit root?

Shen Lian had never heard of this name.

He slowly opened his palms, and a stream of colorful air rolled in his palms. The five elements circulated, sometimes turning into a sphere, sometimes turning into a long river.

This airflow traveled through every corner of the flesh, blood, and internal organs, exuding agility.

This has resulted in the three kinds of energy in his body now being the five elements of magic power, physical essence, and the yin and yang five elements.

Moreover, these three energies can blend together without any sense of rejection, and can also be separated and independent of each other.

Shen Lian stretched out his hand and tapped in front of him three times in succession.

The five elements of magic power, the essence of physical cultivation, and the yin and yang of the five elements were transformed into a sphere and floated in front of him.

He looked at the three energies and looked thoughtful.

"Body cultivation has essence and energy, and this yin and yang and five elements energy comes from the spirit body. Although the two energies can blend and flow between flesh and blood, they are not the same type of energy. This also shows that spirit body and body cultivation are not two different paths."

The magic power of the five elements, there is no doubt about it.

Nowadays, those with spiritual roots can embark on the path to immortality, and the power they cultivate through their spiritual roots is magic power.

The cultivation of physical essence was popular in the region in ancient times.

It is the energy controlled by physical practitioners.

The Qi of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements...
