Wuzhuang Temple Enlightenment, Five Elements Cycle

Watching Randeng's retreating back, Cihang's expression was also very grim.

He knew very well that their feud would not end here.

This time, Randeng was merely wary of Hongyun.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep Randeng, it was just that he didn't have the strength to do so yet.

Hongyun could have done it, but Hongyun had always disliked killing and there was no need for him to go that far.

Moreover, although Randeng's strength was inferior to Hongyun's, he had also joined Kunlun.

Even Hongyun had to be wary of him.

Taking the next best option, Cihang then seized the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Fellow Daoist, you were a bit too impulsive. Randeng is not a magnanimous person.

Since you forcefully took his spiritual treasure this time, I fear he will not let this matter rest."

Hongyun said to Cihang with some concern.

"I naturally know these things, but even if I didn't take his spiritual treasure, he wouldn't let me off.

Since that's the case, what do I have to be afraid of!"

Cihang was willing to befriend Hongyun because Hongyun was one of the truly rare benevolent beings in the Great Desolation.

However, he would not become like Hongyun, nor did he agree with Hongyun's philosophy.

"Randeng himself is not much of a problem, but now he has joined Kunlun.

Fellow Daoist, you should be more careful in the future!"

Hongyun reminded Cihang again.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, I am prepared!"

Cihang had no intention of arguing with Hongyun about this.

"I actually think Fellow Daoist Cihang did nothing wrong.

Randeng already harbored murderous intent, how could you continue to tolerate him?"

Zhenyuanzi suddenly appeared, looking at Hongyun with disagreement.

Like Cihang, Zhenyuanzi did not agree with Hongyun's approach.

But it was precisely Hongyun's kindness that made him genuinely want to befriend him.

And this was Hongyun's path.

Others could not change it.

"Cihang greets Senior Zhenyuanzi!"

Cihang stepped forward to pay his respects at the opportune moment, also using it to change the subject.

The paths they walked were different, and there was no point in arguing.

He could borrow power once or twice, but he couldn't keep doing it.

Ultimately, to establish himself in the Great Desolation, he had to rely on his own strength.

"Since you address Fellow Daoist Hongyun as an equal, you can consider me your peer!

I had already heard of you from Hongyun, and today I finally witnessed your extraordinary nature."

Zhenyuanzi politely returned the greeting.

Because of Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi already had a good impression of Cihang, and meeting him today made him feel even closer.

"It is Cihang's honor that this humble cultivation can catch Fellow Daoist's eye!"

Cihang did not stand on ceremony with Zhenyuanzi and directly changed his form of address.

Although his strength was still low, he did not look down on himself.

"I am also very happy to be able to befriend you.

We are not far from my dojo, shall we return to Wuzhuang Temple?"

Zhenyuanzi immediately invited Cihang.

"Wuzhuang Temple has a top-tier spiritual root, and the Ginseng Fruit it bears is an exceptionally rare delicacy.

Fellow Daoist, you must try it properly this time. Brother Zhenyuan, you won't be stingy, will you?"

Hongyun directly asked for benefits on Cihang's behalf, showing no politeness to Zhenyuanzi.

Hongyun also knew that they both intended to change the subject.

Every cultivator had their own path to walk, and one could not impose their own path on others.

The only thing he could do was to take a little more care of Cihang.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy.

Besides, haven't you also kept quite a few Ginseng Fruits to give to Fellow Daoist Cihang!"

Zhenyuanzi looked at Hongyun with a slight smile.

"This is a gift I prepared for my fellow Daoist, it has nothing to do with you!"

Hongyun paid no mind to Zhenyuanzi's teasing.

Seeing the two of them chatting intimately, Cihang found it hard to interject.

Cihang also yearned for such a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

But in the Great Desolation, how many could achieve this? Everyone was striving for various reasons.

This was probably why Hongyun preferred to stay at Wuzhuang Temple!

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, let's go, we'll head to Wuzhuang Temple now."

Hongyun led Cihang straight to Wuzhuang Temple.

Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain was also a top-tier Grotto-Heaven.

Unlike the solemn majesty of Jade Void Palace or the ornate exquisiteness of Jade Pool, Wuzhuang Temple was more elegant and serene.

As soon as Cihang stepped into Wuzhuang Temple, his mind quieted, and his numerous distracting thoughts were suppressed.

"Fellow Daoist, how do you like my Ginseng Fruit?"

As soon as the three entered the main hall, Zhenyuanzi ordered a young attendant to bring six Ginseng Fruits.

Zhenyuanzi untied the silk cloth, and a refreshing fragrance spread out.

Six miniature fruits, like infants, appeared on a jade plate.

Not only did the Ginseng Fruits resemble infants, but their facial expressions were also lifelike, and faint cries of infants could be heard.

If not for the lack of true spirit consciousness, Cihang wouldn't have been sure they were actually spiritual fruits.

"What a wonderful Ginseng Fruit, it captures the creation of heaven and earth, truly worthy of being a top-tier spiritual fruit!"

Cihang praised, looking at the Ginseng Fruits.

He had seen Ginseng Fruits in his future memories.

However, they weren't as extraordinary back then, as the Ginseng Fruit tree had already declined in quality due to a calamity.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, this Ginseng Fruit is not only rich in spiritual energy, but it also has an excellent effect on comprehending the Dao.

The effect is best when consumed for the first time."

Hongyun pointed at the Ginseng Fruits and introduced them to Cihang.

"Please, have one, Fellow Daoist!"

Zhenyuanzi also smiled and invited Cihang.

"Thank you, both Fellow Daoists, then Cihang will not be polite!"

Cihang also wanted to try how extraordinary the true Ginseng Fruit was.

As soon as the Ginseng Fruit entered his mouth, the fragrance rushed straight into his sea of consciousness, and Cihang's mind seemed to have been sublimated.

The profound mysteries of the laws that he couldn't understand before were easily solved under the power of the fruit.

At the same time, the world became clearer.

Cihang involuntarily closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation and Dao comprehension.

Simultaneously, the Ginseng Fruit transformed into a surge of majestic vital energy.

Although this energy was vast, it was exceptionally gentle, slowly integrating into his physical body and magic power.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Cihang's aura involuntarily emanated.

Divine light bloomed around him, in five colors: gold, cyan, red, black, and yellow, representing the Five Elements respectively.

It was evident that the spiritual lights of water, wood, and earth were more dazzling.

This was precisely the Five Elements Creation Qi that Cihang cultivated, and the foundation of his Golden Immortal realm.

The Ginseng Fruit was originally a Spiritual Root of Wu Tu (Earth), and upon receiving the power of the Ginseng Fruit, the Earth element vital energy suddenly surged.

Then, it began to generate Metal element vital energy, which then began to merge with the Water element.

Gradually, the Five Elements vital energy began to circulate continuously.

Led by the Water, Wood, and Earth elements, the Metal and Wood elements gradually grew stronger and reached Grand Perfection.

Cihang's aura was also constantly improving.

"The Five Elements circulate, creating and transforming each other. Fellow Daoist Cihang has great comprehension and great fortune!"

Zhenyuanzi exclaimed as he watched this scene.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Cihang not only has extraordinary talent but also a profound foundation, not much different from us!"

Hongyun also looked at Cihang with admiration.

When they were Golden Immortals, they probably only had such strength and foundation.

"With Fellow Daoist Cihang's foundation and talent, he will surely achieve the Quasi-Saint realm in the future!"

Zhenyuanzi gave a very high evaluation.

Ginseng Fruit does have the effect of assisting Dao comprehension, but it is only an aid.

The actual gains depend on the cultivator's own foundation and comprehension.
