Five Elements Unite, Breakthrough to Transforming Force!

For many martial artists, the step from Hidden Force to Transforming Force isn't actually that easy.

The fusion of forces will always involve some degree of repulsion.

It requires careful, gradual integration.

But the Five Elements Force is different.

Most forces in the world are, in fact, within the scope of the Five Elements.

The Five Elements Force, however, can be compatible with all forces possessing Five Elements attributes.

This fact alone is enough to make the Five Elements Divine Skill the most top-tier Hidden Force cultivation technique.

No wonder the Five Elements Divine Skill mentioned that once it's mastered, achieving Transforming Force would no longer be a problem.

Now it seems that's indeed the case.

"So, I can try it?"

Jiang Hao felt a surge of eagerness.

He had just achieved mastery of the Five Elements Divine Skill, equivalent to reaching the peak of Hidden Force.

Logically, he should have consolidated for a period before attempting the internal and external unity of force.

But Jiang Hao currently had a feeling.

It seemed that achieving the internal and external unity of force would be simple for him.

Was it an illusion?

Jiang Hao pondered; the internal and external unity of force wasn't a major undertaking.

What was the harm in trying?

Even if he failed, there was no danger.

With that thought, Jiang Hao no longer hesitated.

He directly mobilized the Five Elements Force and the vast Manifest Force throughout his body.

The Five Elements Force, from the inside out, slowly permeated.

Finally, it came into contact with the Manifest Force.

"Boom."

The Hidden Force and Manifest Force merged.

It wasn't as difficult as Jiang Hao had imagined.

Instead, it felt more like... a mutual embrace!

Yes, a mutual embrace.

The Hidden Force and Manifest Force vied with each other to fuse.

As a result, the fusion speed was incredibly fast.

For ordinary martial artists, merging Hidden Force and Manifest Force required careful, gradual attempts.

It would take at least ten days to half a month to completely fuse all the Hidden Force and Manifest Force.

But for Jiang Hao?

Between the Five Elements Force and the Manifest Force, it was like a mighty river flowing into the vast ocean.

Majestic and boundless, without the slightest obstruction.

In just one hour.

"Swish."

Jiang Hao opened his eyes.

At this moment, his body had completely calmed down.

Jiang Hao carefully examined himself.

Hidden Force was gone.

Manifest Force was also gone.

But a new type of force had appeared, something in between the two, or rather, a fusion of both.

This force could instantly reach anywhere, whether inside or outside his body.

Jiang Hao looked up and saw a mosquito in the air.

So, he waited quietly.

The mosquito gently landed on Jiang Hao's arm, intending to draw blood.

But the moment the mosquito landed on his arm, Jiang Hao's skin seemed to react instinctively.

That strange force instantly arrived, directly killing the mosquito.

The mosquito was dead.

It had already been shaken into a pulp.

"Cannot add a feather, cannot land an insect, this is Transforming Force!"

A smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face.

Success!

This was the characteristic of Transforming Force.

Transforming Force was like this, the force could reach all parts of the body in an instant.

Therefore, experts at the Transforming Force stage, every inch of their body was incredibly formidable.

It was precisely because the force reacted so quickly.

It could even shake off feathers and flies and insects.

Jiang Hao felt it was too easy.

Was this the Transforming Force that other martial artists found incredibly difficult?

How could his breakthrough feel as easy as eating and drinking?

The key was that Jiang Hao had only intended to try it out just now.

To accumulate experience for his future breakthrough to Transforming Force.

As a result, he had achieved it just by trying...

Was breaking through to Transforming Force too simple?

It was probably not simple at all.

It was because Jiang Hao's Five Elements Divine Skill was too terrifying.

The Five Elements Divine Skill was equivalent to five Divine Skills.

Many people found it difficult to even get started with one Divine Skill, let alone cultivate it to great success.

Yet Jiang Hao had, in essence, cultivated five Divine Skills to great success.

If he still couldn't break through to Transforming Force after all this, then what was the point of him putting so much effort into cultivating the Five Elements Divine Skill?

With a thought, Jiang Hao checked his own data.

Cultivation: Transforming Force (Initial Stage)
Incomplete Great Sun Golden Crow Divine Blood: 10% progress (can be deduced)
Bone Root: 7.1
Comprehension: 10
Spirit: 2
Great Sun Battle Sacred Body: 1% progress (one-tenth amplification)
Fierce Tiger Fist: Perfected (True Intent ultimate move Tiger Roar Mountain Forest, double amplification)
Moon Chasing Footwork: Perfected (True Intent ultimate move Shrink Step Into Inch)
Transforming Force: Restrains all Five Elements Force

Seeing his own data, he had indeed stepped into the Transforming Force stage.

Moreover, Jiang Hao's Transforming Force was different.

It had an additional "characteristic."

It actually restrained all Five Elements Force?

This must be a characteristic that came with the Five Elements Divine Skill.

He hadn't expected the Five Elements Divine Skill to be so terrifying.

Not only could it allow for a smooth breakthrough to Transforming Force, but it could also restrain all Five Elements Force.

This was a permanent trait.

In the future, Pill Force and even罡劲 would have this characteristic.

And most of the Force possessed by martial artists was actually Five Elements Force.

Basically, they were all restrained by Jiang Hao.

"Amazing!"

Jiang Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

This Five Elements Divine Skill was truly incredible.

It lived up to its name as a Divine Skill.

Before this, Jiang Hao had felt that the Five Elements Divine Skill was unremarkable, only that the power of the Hidden Force formed by the fusion of the five elements was very strong.

He had gone for that characteristic.

He hadn't expected that to be just the most insignificant characteristic of the Five Elements Divine Skill.

The ability to overcome all Five Elements Force, that is the true power of the Five Elements Divine Skill.

The next day, Jiang Hao had just consolidated his cultivation.

In truth, there wasn't much to consolidate. Jiang Hao's foundation in the Five Elements Force was very solid, incomparably stable.

The Emperor sent someone to notify him.

"Jiang Hao, the Blood Transformation Pool is opening. You may enter the palace with me."

The Emperor sent a eunuch.

"Alright, please lead the way, esteemed eunuch."

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up.

He had just broken through to Transforming Force, and the Blood Transformation Pool was opening?

What a stroke of luck, one good thing after another.

Thus, Jiang Hao followed the eunuch and entered the imperial palace.

Inside the palace, Jiang Hao met Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu.

Actually, there were three others.

All were martial artists at the Transforming Force level, representing the three spots for the Transforming Force level competition.

However, Jiang Hao was unacquainted with them, so he didn't greet them.

Li Qingshan's gaze was sinister; no one knew what he was thinking.

Yan Beiwu, on the other hand, nodded slightly, acknowledging Jiang Hao.

"Jiang Hao, why do I feel like you're a little different?"

Yan Beiwu scrutinized Jiang Hao from head to toe, seeming to find something strange.

Jiang Hao had broken through to Transforming Force, so naturally, he was different.

However, most people couldn't tell.

Those with keen insight usually had very high cultivation as well.

Jiang Hao offered no explanation.

Soon, the six of them met the Emperor.

The Emperor swept his gaze over them, about to say something, when his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Oh?"

The Emperor's gaze instantly fixed on Jiang Hao.

"Jiang Hao, your internal and external forces have merged, you've cultivated to Transforming Force?"

The Emperor's voice echoed through the hall.

"Swish."

All eyes in the hall fell upon Jiang Hao.

Li Qingshan, Yan Beiwu, and the others all wore expressions of astonishment.

Transforming Force?

Before this, Jiang Hao was only at Hidden Force.

He hadn't even fully mastered Hidden Force.

How could he have reached Transforming Force?

This was impossible!

Jiang Hao was slightly startled.

He hadn't expected the Emperor to discover it with just a glance.

But this was normal.

Who was the Emperor?

He was a top Grandmaster; his insight was certainly beyond comparison to others.

Since he had been discovered, Jiang Hao had nothing to hide. He nodded and said, "That's right. I fully mastered Hidden Force these past few days. I originally just wanted to try merging my internal and external forces, to gain some experience, and I didn't expect to break through..."

Jiang Hao recounted it truthfully.

However, when the others heard his words, they didn't know how to respond.

Shouldn't one consolidate for a period after fully mastering Hidden Force?

Moreover, even if one were to try, wouldn't it be impossible to succeed on the first attempt?

That would require a significant amount of time to gradually integrate the forces.

And yet, he succeeded on the first try?

It had only been a few days.

At this moment, both those who had reached Transforming Force and those who had reached Hidden Force felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Actually, before this, they hadn't had a very clear perception of what a "genius" was.

After all, they themselves were considered geniuses within their sects.

Didn't they know what a genius was like?

But the reality proved that they were not geniuses.

They had never met a true genius.

The Jiang Hao before them, the future Seed of the Dao for the Huangtian Sect, was the true genius.

In the face of a true genius, their previous cultivation and their past pride were all so pale and weak.

Li Qingshan stared intently at Jiang Hao, muttering to himself, "How is this possible? Transforming Force... he's already reached Transforming Force? He succeeded on the first try, and it only took a few days..."

Yan Beiwu's beautiful eyes were filled with a dazzling brilliance.

She had seemed very indifferent to everything before.

She had also held Jiang Hao in high regard.

But no matter how much she appreciated him, Yan Beiwu hadn't thought Jiang Hao was beyond imagination.

But now, it was different.

Jiang Hao's talent shocked her.

It even surpassed her imagination.

She had only heard of some prodigies in the Central Region who might have performed like this.

Breaking through cultivation was as easy as eating and drinking.

Even Emperor Gan took a deep breath, clearly immensely shocked.

"Hahaha, good! Truly, a hero emerges from the young! Thirteen years old and already at Transforming Force, he's almost the first in the history of the Southern Region!"

Emperor Gan felt a sense of joy instead.

He had already completely resolved the grievances between Jiang Hao and Leng Yue.

From now on, the Great Gan Imperial Family would have no issues with Jiang Hao.

In fact, the Great Gan Imperial Family had even provided Jiang Hao with a spot in the Blood Transformation Pool this time.

It was a way of forging a good relationship.

"Alright, the Blood Transformation Pool is about to open. You may go."

"It is your fortune to be able to enter the Blood Transformation Pool. But whether you can awaken your bloodline, strengthen it, or gain significant benefits, that will depend on yourselves."

"Remember, once you leave the Blood Transformation Pool, it is equivalent to forfeiting your chance. There will be no second opportunity. Someone will come to escort you out."

"The Blood Transformation Pool will be open for a maximum of three days. After three days, regardless of the circumstances, the Blood Transformation Pool will close."

With that, Emperor Gan waved his hand.

"Rumble."

A staircase appeared beneath the main hall.

It seemed to lead underground.

"Is the Blood Transformation Pool underground?"

The six exchanged glances, but ultimately entered the staircase.

As they walked, they continued to converse in hushed tones.

"I heard the Blood Transformation Pool is formed using the bloodlines of some demonic beasts, combined with the special bloodlines from some spirit pets, thereby creating the Blood Transformation Pool. It is very effective for martial artists who have not yet activated their bloodlines."

"If the Blood Transformation Pool is so useful, why haven't Leng Yan and Leng Shang of the Great Gan Imperial Family awakened their bloodlines?"

"It only increases the probability of activating bloodlines. It cannot guarantee activation. Also, it's said that the higher one's cultivation, the easier it is to activate bloodlines. Below Pill Force, it's actually very difficult to awaken bloodlines; it depends on talent and luck. Conversely, for Pill Force Grandmasters, if the conditions are right, awakening bloodlines becomes easier."

Everyone discussed in low voices.

The six walked for a while.

They didn't know how deep underground they had gone.

Finally, they arrived at a palace hall deep underground.

The hall was surrounded by pools that were as crimson as blood.

Clearly, this must be the Blood Transformation Pool.
