Bowing in Admiration
The Nether Ancestor listened to Su Bai's Dao Heart Oath with a solemn expression, his already furrowed brows now even more deeply.
After all, as the Old Ancestor of the Demonic Path, he naturally had a profound understanding and knowledge of things like the Dao Heart Oath.
He knew very well that the Dao Heart Oath Su Bai had made contained a major flaw.
However, despite this, the Nether Ancestor was helpless.
Given the current situation, he couldn't win a fight and didn't want to risk his life, so he seemed to have no better option than to temporarily trust Su Bai.
Moreover, the Dao Heart Oath is not something that can be made casually.
Especially for those with profound Cultivation Realm like Nascent Soul Cultivator, the higher their Cultivation Realm, the more wary they become.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Su Bai's making a Dao Heart Oath was already a statement of his commitment.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Nether Ancestor ultimately decided to 'trust' Su Bai.
"Daoist Lu Jiu, since that's the case, let's head to Nether Peak together and have a proper chat there," Nether Ancestor finally said.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai smiled slightly and then nodded in agreement. "Good."
The Nether Ancestor waved his hand and dispelled the barrier, and the Disciple of the Palace of Reincarnation gathered around.
It seems these Demonic Path Disciple are quite loyal to the Nether Ancestor.
The Nether Ancestor addressed the Palace of Reincarnation Disciple who had gathered outside, saying, "Disperse. This Fellow Daoist Lu Jiu is willing to apologize to Old Ancestor, and this matter will end here."
"The state of emergency is over. You may all return to your training."
"Our Old Ancestor is mighty!"
The Palace of Reincarnation Disciple bowed and cheered to the Nether Ancestor.
Su Bai's lips twitched as he stared at the Nether Ancestor's back, his gaze so intense that cold sweat began to break out on his back. Only then did he withdraw his gaze, ultimately deciding not to expose the scoundrel in front of his disciples and grand-disciples.
"Fellow Daoist, let's go." Seeing that Su Bai still gave him face, the Nether Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and rushed towards Nether Peak.
Su Bai and Heavenly Gang, along with their servant, quickly followed.
Not long after.
The two people and the corpse arrived at the top of Nether Peak, inside the first floor of that dark-style Pavilion.
"Netherworld Daoist Youming, your decorating style is truly unique," Su Bai said, sitting upright in a chair made of human bones.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has already visited my Humble Abode uninvited before, so I imagine you're already quite comfortable here now," replied the Nether Ancestor.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai felt slightly embarrassed, cleared his throat, and said, "Netherworld Daoist Youming, let's talk about a deal."
The Nether Ancestor nodded. "Cultivation Method [Five Elements Rotation Technique] is in your hands, isn't it?"
Su Bai took out the ancient book he had taken and placed it in his hand.
"I'm sorry, there was no one in your room at the time. I happened to need this item, so I borrowed it to take a look."
"I have now memorized everything. If you need this ancient book, I will return it to you," Su Bai said.
borrow?
The Nether Ancestor shook his head. "Fine," he thought to himself, "You gave me face before, so I won't expose you now. For a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator to behave like this, it won't sound good if word gets out!"
"I don't have Cultivation Manual; all my cultivation memories are in my mind."
"Since that's the case, and you now know the contents of the [Five Elements Rotation Technique], I will explain it to you from the beginning."
"I will impart my understanding of the Way of the Five Elements to you through preaching."
"As for how much you can understand, that depends on yourself," said the Nether Ancestor.
It would be best if someone could preach to your face.
Su Bai then sat down cross-legged, with Heavenly Gang standing Guardian beside him.
The Nether Ancestor knew that the Principles of Five Elements Mutual Generation was probably not so easy to understand.
This sermon will not be able to get rid of this person and corpse in a few years.
But since things had come to this point, the Nether Ancestor had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.
If wasting a few years can drive this scourge away, that would be a good thing.
He has never preached for several years in a row before.
The Nether Ancestor steadied his breathing and calmly began to speak, "The Heaven and Earth Five Elements do not exist independently through mutual restraint, but rather through mutual generation and creation. In cultivating this method, the most important word is 'fusion'—fusion of the Five Elements ' energy into the dantian, like streams flowing into the sea, Endless Vitality..."
Su Bai now possesses all Five Elements Talent; what he lacks is the knowledge to integrate these Five Elements Talent.
Hearing the Nether Ancestor preach, he was completely captivated, as if he had entered a whole new world.
He listened intently to the explanation from the Nether Ancestor, comparing it with his own knowledge of the [Five Elements Rotation Technique], and quickly absorbed its essence.
This is much faster than him trying to cultivate on his own, saving him countless years of effort.
Su Bai's Five Elements Talent was fully utilized at this moment. He was able to keenly capture the key information in the words of the Nether Ancestor and integrate it into his own cultivation.
He absorbed the moisture from the Nether Ancestor like a sponge.
As time went by, Su Bai occasionally emitted fluctuations of Spiritual Power, as he continuously tried to fuse the Five Elements elements together in order to comprehend their profound principles.
And so, day after day, Su Bai immersed himself in the world of cultivation, forgetting the passage of time.
The Nether Ancestor explained his understanding again and again in various ways, without deliberately trying to trip him up.
One month later, when Su Bai tried to Five Elements Mutual Fusion again, suddenly, Tricolor Spiritual Light emanated from his body, with the three types of Spiritual Power constantly rotating and changing within it, dazzling and eye-catching.
Upon seeing this, the Nether Ancestor was dumbfounded.
He originally thought that Su Bai would need more time to reach such a level, after all, the Five Elements Mutual Fusion is not an easy thing.
However, it is truly astonishing that Su Bai was able to achieve such a level in just one month.
Su Bai opened his eyes. "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
"This sermon has given me a much better understanding of the Supreme Principle of Five Elements Transformation."
"It's already a basic requirement for me to integrate it into Sword Dao."
"However, fellow Daoist, your Way of the Five Elements seems somewhat unbalanced. Your explanations of the Three Paths of Metal, Earth, and Wood— are quite good."
"Water and fire, however, are somewhat lacking."
The Nether Ancestor looked at Su Bai with suspicion, seemingly doubting whether he truly understood what he was saying.
After all, it's only been a month.
It took him a hundred years to figure out what had happened after absorbing his Disciple's soul.
Su Bai's performance in the past month... has truly been astonishing.
He couldn't help but ask again, "Are you sure you understood everything I said?"
Su Bai did not answer the question directly from the Nether Ancestor. Instead, he stood there quietly, and the Tricolor Spiritual Light on his body suddenly became even more intense.
The Tricolor Spiritual Light, like a vibrant life form, flowed freely around him, vividly demonstrating the mutual transformation between the three attributes.
Indeed, after a month of listening, Su Bai, with his All-Five-Elements Talent, has deeply absorbed the three attributes of metal, earth, and wood from the [Five Elements Rotation Technique] that the Nether Ancestor was good at into his own cultivation experience.
The water and Fire Attribute are still lacking, but that's because even the teacher, the Nether Ancestor, hadn't mastered them and couldn't explain them clearly.
However, with this foundation of experience in the Five Elements, Su Bai believed that it wouldn't be long before he could surpass the Nether Ancestor and quickly master the [Five Elements Rotation Technique].
Upon seeing this, the Nether Ancestor opened his mouth slightly again, his face full of astonishment.
If he hadn't personally witnessed Su Bai's cultivation process in front of him for the past month, he would probably have naturally assumed that Su Bai, like him, had achieved such rapid progress by devouring the souls of several Cultivator practiced the Five Elements Divine Ability.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed exceptionally talented; no wonder you are so eager to find the Five Elements Divine Ability." The Nether Ancestor nodded knowingly.
Given this Fiend's Five Elements Talent, if the Five Elements Sect were still around, they would probably have had to devote all their resources to supporting his cultivation.
Moreover, this fiend is Sword Cultivator, Sword Dao Divine Ability are the strongest killing Divine Ability among cultivators' Divine Ability. Now, with the addition of the Five Elements transformation, it is even more exaggerated than his fusion of the Five Elements and Devil Cultivation Method!
He could foresee just how powerful Su Bai's Combat Power would be in the future!
Although he didn't say it aloud, the usually arrogant Nether Ancestor had already deeply submitted to Su Bai in his heart.
