Five Elements Samsara Proves True Law, Guiding the Extreme North to Accumulate Merit

Donghua looked down at Kong Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, his gaze as placid as an ancient well, and did not immediately respond.

The mountain wind swept past, rustling the wide sleeves of his golden daoist robe.

After a moment of silence, Donghua slowly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"To enter my tutelage, you must firmly protect your original heart and maintain heaven and earth."

Kong Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes resolute: "This disciple respectfully obeys his master's teachings! If I violate them, my body shall perish and my dao will vanish!"

Donghua did not rush to help Kong Xuan gain merit or eliminate karma. Instead, he spoke to him slowly:

"You bear the innate Five Elements Origin, yet due to your origins, you are entangled by karma, making it perpetually difficult to glimpse the profound mysteries of the laws and thus always being unable to reach the Great Luo realm."

"However, cultivators should pursue both the Dao and its applications. While the Dao as a foundation is naturally important, the application of its techniques cannot be neglected either. Your Five-Colored Divine Light, though seemingly peerless in power by relying on the Origin, has not been condensed and integrated. It is like a tower built on quicksand, scattered and not gathered, like a rootless tree, unable to become a towering giant."

"Today, I shall cultivate a technique. Watch closely how the power of the Five Elements should be used."

Donghua finished speaking, his eyes slightly closed, and the daoist rhymes flowed around him. The entire mountain range trembled, and the innate Geng Metal energy accumulated in the earth's veins converged towards him like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The pure Geng Metal energy surged into his meridians, but instead of charging wildly, it followed his chest's Five Qi, transforming into a docile golden dragon.

"Watch carefully." Donghua controlled its direction through his physical body.

That Geng Metal energy flowed according to his will, outlining profound trajectories within Donghua's body.

The sharpness of Geng Metal gradually emerged within his lungs and viscera, and a True Water intent of Xuanming materialized from the metal, metal giving birth to water;

The kidney palace received the gentleness of Ren water, and as the water intent flowed abundantly, it spurred the vigorous life force of Yi wood, water giving birth to wood;

The liver meridian absorbed the essence of Yi wood, and where the green energy ascended, specks of Li fire erupted from the wood, wood giving birth to fire;

The heart meridian burned with the intensity of Bing fire, and amidst the scorching flames, the concept of heavy Wu earth gradually emerged, fire giving birth to earth;

The spleen palace bore the stability of Wu earth, and as the yellow court's thick earth settled, a brand new Geng Metal energy was conceived, earth returning to metal, completing a perfect cycle.

Five-colored radiance flowed ceaselessly around Donghua, mutually generating and transforming, becoming one integrated whole.

The originally sharp and untamed Geng Metal energy became gentle, heavy, and full of daoist rhyme within this cycle.

Donghua's eyes were slightly closed, and daoist sounds flowed naturally from his lips, like the harmonious chime of gold and jade, with daoist rhymes permeating his entire being.

"The liver stores green light, nourished by wood spirit; the heart shines with red flames, warmed by fire essence; the spleen is suffused with yellow splendor, supported by earth virtue; the lungs are filled with white brilliance, cleansed by metal's sharpness; the kidneys are awash with dark waves, moistened by water's grace."

His voice gradually grew distant, and the Five Qi within his body rotated accordingly:

"Wood burns to produce bright fire, fire blazes to transform into dust and soil, earth is thick to contain refined metal, metal is sharp to condense true water, water is abundant to nourish green wood."

Finally, the daoist sound abruptly became grand: "The Five Qi cycle has no beginning and no end, the resonance of the Five Organs returns to the primordial unity, flowing ceaselessly, all obstructions eliminated, the four rotations complete, the fifth rotation naturally appears."

This daoist sound was not only Donghua's affirmation of his own cultivation realm but also an explanation of the profound principles of the Five Elements' generation and overcoming for Kong Xuan.

As the last syllable fell, the five-colored radiance around Donghua gradually retracted, returning to a state of primordial chaos.

Donghua opened his eyes and saw Kong Xuan standing frozen on the spot, like a clay sculpture.

The profound truth of the Five Elements' generation and overcoming, from complexity to simplicity, was not mere knowledge transfer but an opportunity, like a key instantly unlocking Kong Xuan's millennia-old, sealed daoist sense and sea of consciousness.

Donghua stood still, his gaze calmly observing the changes in Kong Xuan's body. He saw the originally restless Five-Colored Divine Light gradually subside, becoming as docile and orderly as a hundred rivers returning to the sea, naturally circulating within his meridians along some mysterious trajectory.

The five primal energies of blue, yellow, red, black, and white no longer clashed but were connected end-to-end, forming a harmonious, flowing cycle.

As the daoist rhyme continuously condensed, a hazy phantom of a dao wheel gradually appeared behind Kong Xuan. Although not yet fully solidified, it already faintly revealed the profound principles of the Five Elements' generation and overcoming.

"As expected of one bearing the Five Elements Origin," Donghua nodded slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"To comprehend the principle of Five Elements generation and overcoming and create a divine ability from it after observing just one cultivation session, this comprehension is indeed rare."

After an unknown amount of time, Kong Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The five-colored radiance behind him completely retracted, condensing into a perfect, flowing dao wheel that slowly rotated.

The originally brilliant peacock feathers now appeared even more dazzling, quietly suspended in the void, their brilliance contained within, yet subtly emitting a terrifying aura capable of brushing away all things and annihilating laws.

"Many thanks for Master's guidance, allowing this disciple to comprehend this divine ability!"

Donghua nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval:

"This divine ability was comprehended by you based on the principle of Five Elements generation. Among all beings in heaven and earth who bear the Five Elements Origin, you are the only one."

Donghua's voice was calm, yet every word was clear:

"When you eventually comprehend the laws, the power of this divine ability will naturally grow, becoming the foundation for your protection and victory."

Kong Xuan retracted the five-colored divine light circulating around his body and respectfully asked:

"Master, since this disciple has comprehended a divine ability, how should I proceed to gain merit, eliminate karma, and strive to break through to the Great Luo realm?"

Donghua smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to rush. Come with me to the Western Kunlun, and we shall discuss further."

Kong Xuan heard this and, despite his eagerness, still respectfully agreed: "I respectfully obey Master's command."

He then manifested his true peacock form, his wings spread wide, five-colored divine light flowing like a rosy cloud, carrying Donghua towards the Western Kunlun.

Above the sea of clouds, Donghua slowly spoke:

"Do you know that during the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation of ancient times, the three tribes ceaselessly waged war, committing immense slaughter, which resulted in entanglement by karma and decline of fortune."

Your mother Yuan Feng, along with Shi Qilin and Zu Long, to protect their clans from extinction, each ended up suppressing a region of heaven and earth with their own bodies. In exchange for merit, they gradually diminished their karma, slowly waiting for it to be completely erased!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's voice carried a hint of unwillingness, "Suppressing a region like this to gain merit and eliminate karma, how many years will that take?"

"If you hadn't met me, this would have been the destined path you had to tread," Dong Hua's tone was peaceful, yet held a deeper meaning. "But now that you are my disciple, I, your master, have my own ways to help you break free."

Dong Hua paused slightly before continuing, "In the beginning, after the heavens and earth were formed, the lingering resentments of those fallen Chaos Demon Gods did not dissipate. They transformed into ferocious beasts, destroying the Great Desolation and intending to return to chaos.

It wasn't until the tribulation of the ferocious beasts ended that the tribulation subsided. However, the far north still retained a monstrous Sha Qi, which corrupted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Dong Hua looked towards the north, his words growing deeper:

"If this can be purified, it will mend the Great Desolation and benefit heaven and earth. Merit will naturally descend."

As he spoke, a clear light flowed from Dong Hua's sleeve, and a nine-petaled lotus platform slowly emerged.

Its petals were pure white and flawless, surrounded by the innate Dao rhythm that purifies all things. This was precisely the Nine-Petaled Pure World White Lotus.

"This treasure is a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, containing the law of purification. It is perfect for resolving the Sha Qi of the far north, and I shall give it to you today."

Dong Hua lightly tapped his fingertip, and the lotus platform transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into Kong Xuan's brow.
