Chapter 476: An Accidental Realization

int of overconfidence. 。He was lucky; he knew most of the influential Qi Refining cultivators in Xuan Ye City, but none of them were here. This meant that if any of them had a conflict with him, they...Before, Lu XiaTian needed to rely on the forceful suppression of his primordial spirit to control these five kinds of spiritual energy at the same time. But often, after a short period, the inherent restraint between the five types of spiritual energy would inevitably erupt due to Lu XiaTian's depleted divine consciousness, as he could no longer forcefully suppress them. Even when Lu XiaTian tried using high-grade spirit stones, there was once an instance where he was injured by the explosion.

Later, Lu Xia Tian realized that forcefully using divine consciousness to suppress was not the way. Different types of power were forcibly suppressed together, which could solve temporary problems, but the explosion was only a matter of time. At that time, it was spring, everything was recovering, and by chance, after repeated failures in experimenting with the Five Elements Array, Lu Xia Tian felt depressed. One day, he stood under the eaves of his courtyard on Green Mulberry Island, overlooking the landscape. At that time, it was pouring rain, and Lu Xia Tian stood there for a whole day and night until his mood began to gradually calm down. After the rain, the fresh air wafted from the grass and trees on the island. As Lu Xia Tian was about to continue studying the Five Elements Array, he noticed the new green in the grass and trees, and the subtle sound of bamboo shoots breaking through the soil. This seemingly ordinary scene flashed across Lu Xia Tian's mind like a bolt of lightning - the Five Elements restrain each other, but they also nourish each other. The principle is simple, but few people can truly understand this level of meaning. Lu Xiao had previously refined several types of Five Elements Arrays, including the Five Elements Labyrinth Array and the Five Elements Crane Strike Array.

It's just using the principle of the five elements generating and restraining each other to connect the five forces together, utilizing some spiritual objects to control the transformation of the five elements' power. But that was a transformation controlled by objects, not something Lu Xia Tian truly comprehended. Lu Xia Tian didn't expect that after years of closed-door cultivation, he still couldn't break through the secret, but it was unexpectedly revealed to him during an accidental rainy night.

Spring rain nourishes all things, water gives birth to wood. It's a transformation towards vitality. The greenery that grows among the grass and trees, the spring shoots bursting from the soil, the profound feeling of life being born between heaven and earth was successfully captured by Lu Xiaoxian. At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian’s state of mind completely calmed down. What he realized at this time was not just the simple way of transforming the Five Elements, but also an understanding of cultivation. Since ancient times, our ancestors carved out a living space for humanity from the wilderness. The initial practice was to imitate demons and beasts and comprehend all things in heaven and earth. Blindly practicing in seclusion, ignoring the surrounding world, ultimately fell into decline.

After this realization, Lu Xiaotian felt a sudden lightness in his body. His mana and spiritual sense hadn't increased significantly, but Lu Xiaotian had a feeling that he had somehow become stronger. This enhancement wasn't simply an increase in power, but rather a way of using it. It was as if he had developed a subtle connection with all things around him.

It was precisely this realization that led Lu Xiaotian to try the Five Elements Array again. He began to change his previous method of forceful oppression, first attempting to transform water spiritual energy into wood spiritual energy. While it seemed simple in theory, putting it into practice proved incredibly difficult. Transforming two completely different kinds of spiritual energy was no easy feat and couldn't be accomplished overnight. For years, Lu Xiaotian had devoted himself to this very task. By now, the five distinct types of spiritual energy could freely transform within his palm. The five elements – gold, wood, water, fire, and earth – formed a delicate balance before his eyes, mutually generating and sustaining each other.

The spiritual energy ball in front of him was formed from five high-grade spirit stones, worth 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. It was only used to experiment with an array formation. If it were spread out, it would surely shock countless people. Lu Xia Tian was wealthy, but after years of repeated attempts, the spiritual energy in his body had almost been exhausted. Fortunately, he had already refined a Golden Core Pill within the barrier, so he didn't need to worry too much about spirit stones for now.

Since he could control the five elemental energies to form a delicate balance, the spirit stones consumed actually decreased. The process of the spherical energy surrounding him transforming the five elemental energies, while consuming some, was more economical compared to before. Experiments using low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones proved this. Before reaching this level, once the five elemental energies clashed, the spirit stones used were basically wasted. Without clashing, even when using high-grade spirit stones, the process lasted much longer.

Lu XiaTian no longer needed to use his divine sense to forcefully suppress it, he just needed to comprehend the process of this spiritual power transformation.

"Lu Daoist friend, please come over for a chat!" One day, a sound transmission talisman flew into the room, it was Fu Dongming's voice. Lu Xia Tian stretched out his left hand and gently caught it, the five-color luminous spirit ball disappeared into his heart. The spirit power formed by five high-grade spirit stones had only consumed half, of course, it couldn't be wasted, all of it was absorbed into the barrier to be transformed into spiritual power, nurturing various herbs.

Lu Xia Tian went out and arrived at Fu Dong Ming's mansion. Fu Dong Ming greeted him with a delighted face. Besides Fu Dong Ming, there was also Fu Jiao Jiao, as well as several male and female disciples from Tian Xin Ge, whose cultivation level was comparable to Fu Jiao Jiao. With a few expressions of a Foundation Establishment third-layer cultivator, they appeared slightly arrogant. Although their cultivation levels weren't high, their status as disciples of Tian Xin Ge gave them sufficient capital for pride.

This is a simple instruction.

"Lu Dao-you, do you need any further preparations"

"No need, let's go." Lu Xiaoteng shook his head. He had almost reached the limit of what a Qi Refining cultivator could achieve. Even with a few more Dan Yuan artifacts, it wouldn't be much use. As for consumables like spirit talismans, unless they were seventh-grade talismans, but where could he get seventh-grade talismans so easily Even Golden Core cultivators found them difficult to make. Lower and middle-grade spirit stones were looked down upon by Golden Core cultivators. They usually traded them with others, and he didn't have the time to arrange these things. The fire dragon essence within the Jiao Soul Battle Bead still had a small amount of power left, which was enough to deal with many variables.

"Alright, since Daoist Lu is confident, I won't say much more. Let's set off immediately." Fu Dongming nodded. He knew Lu Xiaoteng's terrifying strength; he was also a formation master, surpassing him in power. It was certain that nothing unexpected would happen.

As the group set out, Lu Xiaonian learned from Fu Dongming that the disciples of Tiangxin Pavilion were brought in by Fu Jiaojiao to bolster their presence. Fu Dongming also gave him some information about their competitors, which Lu Xiaonian carefully noted down without showing any signs of underestimating them. In fact, his encounter with the Wu Hun Zhan Zhu had taught him that there were cultivation methods that could surpass the limits of a Qi Refining cultivator, and he himself was an example. Such situations were rare, but in the vast world of cultivating immortality, anything unusual could happen.

Fu Dongming and Lu Xiaoteng sat on the top deck of the building ship. Several disciples of Tianxin Pavilion were full of excitement, discussing some recent high-ranking experts at the bow, even those who had formed golden pills, acting as if they were pointing out the mountains and rivers.y, several true immortals who came from the Gui Ling Immortal Realm, couldn't even gather this much together. The other party might not have a background as impressive as theirs, but they were certain...
