Farewell to Hongjun, Wuzhuang Temple has returned to the tranquility of the past, but under this tranquility, there is an unprecedented vitality and profound power.
Zhenyuanzi stood independently under Four Symbols Plantain Tree, his eyes swept over every plant and tree in the temple, and finally landed on the hazy earth Light Screen that shrouded the mountains.
Hongjun and Yang Mei came to visit one after another. Although they mainly focused on discussing Daoism and trading, the meaning they represented and the vague restlessness brought by the gathered Innate Five Directions Banners made him feel alarmed.
"The trees want to be still but the wind doesn't stop."
Zhenyuanzi whispered softly, a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
"Primordial World Situation is about to rise, and the undercurrent is turbulent. Even if you want to find peace in a corner, you still need to have enough strength to protect this peace. What's more, my way is the way of progress and detachment."
With a thought in his mind, he communicated with the Book of the Earth in his body that was closely connected to the origin of Longevity Mountain.
In an instant, the entire book Book of the Earth emerged from his sea of consciousness, turning automatically without wind, with a clattering sound. Each page seemed to carry a mountain, river, and land, exuding an extremely thick and majestic aura of Qiankun.
"Earth Veins are connected, Wutu is the base, Qiankun sets the tripod, Invulnerable to All Magic--start!"
Following Zhenyuanzi's deep shout, Book of the Earth suddenly burst out with an unprecedented bright black-yellow light!
This light is not limited to Wuzhuang Temple, but spreads quickly like water waves and merges into the entire Mountain Protection Great Formation that envelopes Longevity Mountain.
"Buzz--!"
A low buzzing sound spread throughout Longevity Mountain inside and outside. I saw that the originally hazy Wutu Essence Qi Light Screen now became extremely solid and deepened in color, as if it had turned into a real black-yellow divine stone barrier!
On top of Light Screen, countless complex and mysterious Innate Dao Patterns move and combine as if they have come to life, evolving into images of mountains and rivers, river veins, and the country Qiankun.
The aura of the entire formation suddenly increased by several levels, becoming thicker, more stable, and deeper, as if it was completely connected to the boundless Primordial Land beneath its feet and was unbreakable!
The formation's autonomous defense and counterattack capabilities have also been improved to the extreme. An ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal would probably feel trembling even if they get close to it. Even if it is a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, it is not easy to break through it by force.
This is not a whim of Zhenyuanzi, but he senses that he is about to enter deep retreat and must ensure that the dojo is foolproof. Strengthening Book of the Earth's protection is the first priority.
After doing all this, Zhenyuanzi nodded slightly, and in a flash, he disappeared under Plantain Tree. The next moment, he appeared directly in the core retreat of Wuzhuang Temple, Quiet Chamber.
This place is the node where Longevity Mountain Earth Vein Spiritual Energy gathers, and it is also the core of Book of the Earth's power, so it is safe and sound.
Quiet Chamber is empty except for a Cattail Hassock in the center that exudes a pure and peaceful atmosphere.
Zhenyuanzi sat down cross-legged and did not start refining Five Directional Banners immediately, but spent some time first.
I carefully sorted out the gains from previous discussions with Hongjun and Yang Mei, as well as my own Great Earth Chaos Dao insights, so that my mind was clear, Dao Foundation was stable and in the best condition.
Then, he took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely focused.
With a flick of his sleeves, five Precious Banners, shining with different brilliance and exuding different yet homologous Daoist rhymes, floated in front of him.
Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, Southern Ground-Leaving Flame Light Banner, Northern Profound Origin Water Controlling Banner.
Precious Banner, which had been refined into his body on these three sides, was the first to respond. The flags were automatic and emitted a cordial resonance without any wind.
The newly acquired two sides, Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner and Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner, are quietly suspended, waiting to be integrated with their new owners.
Zhenyuanzi decided to go from easy to difficult, starting with Northern Profound Origin Water Controlling Banner, who is closest to his origin and has initially established contact.
This flag was gifted by Daoist Yin Yang and contains the essence of innate water.
He stretched out his right hand and lightly tapped the small black flag with his index finger.
The moment his fingertips touched the flag, a cool and warm water spirit Daoist charm with Northern Darkness deep cold and vast and inclusive meaning surged into his body like a river bursting its banks!
In an instant, Zhenyuanzi seemed to be at the bottom of the boundless ocean, or as if his mind was wandering above the clouds and rivers in the sky.
He "saw" the trickling streams gathering into streams, the streams rushing into rivers, the rivers roaring into the sea, and the ocean accepting hundreds of rivers and evaporating into clouds and rain, nourishing all things, completing a great cycle.
He felt the Extreme Softness of water - wrapping around his fingers and soft intestines, penetrating all-pervasively; he also felt the Extreme Hardness of water - the turbulent waves, destroying cities and cracking rocks; he also felt the tolerance and Purification of water - washing away filth and nurturing vitality.
This pure water Great Dao Law immediately had a violent reaction and blend with the Li Fire essence that he had originally mastered.
"Soil can overcome water, but embankments need soil and water, otherwise the soil will lose its properties and turn into a desert."
Zhenyuanzi has realized in his heart that the earth-guarding essence in his body no longer simply blocks water vapor, but tries to guide and accommodate it.
The water spirit power of Profound Origin Water Control Banner, under his precise control, penetrated into the thick Wu earth, making the originally "dry" spiritual energy of Earth Element become moist, soft, and more vital and plastic.
It's as if the dry earth has been nourished by the rain. Although they are incompatible with each other, under Zhenyuanzi's all-embracing and Evolve Chaos grand will, they have begun to move towards mutual growth Mutual Assistance.
"Water can defeat fire, but fire can also warm water, and boiling water can turn into gas, and its power is even greater."
At the same time, he also guided the power of water spirit to contact Fire Origin of Southern Ground-Leaving Flame Light Banner.
It is not a crude annihilation, but a simulation of Natural Phenomenon between heaven and earth.
A ray of Li Fire essence was put into Water Spiritual Qi, and it was not extinguished instantly. Instead, it maintained a wonderful balance under the micro-control of Zhenyuanzi's powerful spiritual consciousness.
The temperature of the water rises, and part of it turns into the essence of Gui Water that is more flexible and penetrating. The energy and changes it contains are far beyond those of simple cold water or fire.
This is not a simple mutual conflict, but an opportunity for mutual growth has been found in the mutual conflict, and new forms and powers have evolved.
The process of refining Profound Origin Water Control Banner is an in-depth review and reconstruction of the relationship between water, soil, water and fire.
Zhenyuanzi's understanding of the path of "water" has deepened at an unprecedented speed. More importantly, he has initially built a more complex and mysterious transformation bridge between "earth-water-fire".
His magic power began to contain a trace of water-moistened and infinitely changing characteristics, making the originally heavy and majestic power more long-lasting and agile.
I don't know how long it took, but the vision of Water Vapor inside Quiet Chamber gradually subsided.
That Northern Profound Origin Water Controlling Banner turned into a mysterious stream of light and submerged into Zhenyuanzi's body, echoing the other two flags and becoming part of the foundation of his great path.
Zhenyuanzi adjusted his breath slightly, feeling the more harmonious power in his body, and then turned his attention to the face of Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner that exuded tranquility, peace, and Purification.
The main character of this flag is "gold", but its "gold" is not the metal of killing, but more of the metal of surrender, convergence, purity and protection, which represents rules, order and stable boundaries.
He stretched out his index finger again and pointed at the plain white flag.
"Zheng!"
It was as if there was a clear sword cry resounding in my heart!
A sharp, chilling, yet extremely pure and persevering Daoist charm rushed into Zhenyuanzi's limbs instantly!
This is not an attack, but a manifestation of Great Dao Origin of Metal.
