Zhenyuanzi seems to be transformed into a magic weapon that has been tempered for thousands of times, feeling the purity of "gold" - Remove the Dross and Keep the Essence, indestructible;
I feel the chill of "gold" - the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves and judges all things;
I also feel the stability and definition of "gold" - delimiting territories and protecting order, just like the skeleton of the earth, supporting the framework of the entire world.
Once this power of Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner's Metal Element entered Zhenyuanzi's body, it had a more complex interaction with his original three elements of earth, fire, and water.
"Earth can produce gold!" Zhenyuanzi's mind guides, and the pure earth-gathering essence naturally begins to cultivate and give birth to a purer and sharper Metal Element's energy.
It is as if the mineral deposits bred deep in the earth have accumulated over the years and finally turned into bright metal. This makes his defense no longer just a thick earth wall, but also has the toughness and sharpness of metal, which can be strong or soft.
"Fire can overcome gold, but real gold also needs fire to refine!" He controlled a wisp of southern Li Fire, carefully burning and tempering the new Metal Element energy.
Under the forging of this Li Fire, the impurities in the Metal Element gas were removed, becoming more pure and condensed, and its "sharp" and "sturdy" characteristics were brought into full play.
At the same time, the tempered Qi of Metal Element in turn absorbed part of the fire essence, giving it a touch of fiery attributes and increasing its power.
"Gold can generate water!" When the pure Metal Element energy condenses to a certain extent, Zhenyuanzi is blessed to the soul and tries to guide it to contact the power of the north Dark Water.
The chilling and astringent Metal Qi, under certain conditions, can actually produce strands of Extreme Yin extremely cold Geng Metal divine water. Its nature is sharp and cold, and it has the dual properties of gold and water, which is mysterious and extraordinary.
Refining Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner brought Zhenyuanzi's understanding of the road of "gold" to a new level.
More importantly, he successfully introduced the "metal" element in addition to the "earth-water-fire" cycle, and initially built a more complex four-element cycle system in which "earth generates metal, metal generates water, water moistens earth, and fire refines metal"!
His mana and Dao Foundation have become more stable and condensed, carrying an inviolable and awe-inspiring power and Power of Order.
That Plain Cloud Realm Banner also turned into a white light and integrated into the body.
At this point, four of the five elements have been obtained, only the last Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner is missing.
The main character of this flag is "wood", which represents vitality, growth, stretch and compassion.
Zhenyuanzi held his breath and concentrated, adjusted his state to the peak, and finally pointed his finger at the cyan Precious Banner, which was shining with precious light and seemed to have Green Lotus's shadow rising and falling.
"Buzz..."
A majestic and vast Daoist rhyme, full of infinite vitality and prosperity, is like the spring breeze blowing through the frozen soil and the drizzle moistening the desert. It is gentle but unstoppable and pours into Zhenyuanzi's body.
At this moment, Zhenyuanzi seems to be transformed into a seed, breaking out of its shell under the nourishment of thick soil, feeling the warmth of the sun (fire), the moisture of rain and dew (water), and the trace elements and support provided by gold and stone (gold). Finally, it stretches its branches and leaves, grows vigorously, and blossoms and bears fruit.
He felt the vitality of "wood" - tenacious and unyielding, endless life; he felt the stretch of "wood" - smooth and unobstructed; he felt the compassion of "wood" - Purification air, which provides shade and nourishes all things.
The power of Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner's Wood Element is like the final catalyst. Once it enters the initially formed four-element cycle system of earth, fire, water, and gold, it immediately triggers earth-shaking changes!
"Wood can conquer the soil, but the roots can also solidify the soil!" Wood Element's vitality penetrates into the garrisoned soil, not destroying it, but firmly grasping the soil with its root system and preventing water and soil erosion, making Earth Element more stable and full of vitality.
The originally heavy earth seemed to be covered in green and became full of vitality.
"Wood can make fire!" The vigorous energy of Wood Element naturally becomes the best fuel for Li Fire, making the power of fire more vigorous and lasting, with the warmth of burning life, rather than simple destruction.
"Water can produce trees!" The power of Dark Water in the north has the most direct outlet. The water of Extreme Softness nourishes the vitality of Wood Element to its fullest, making the vegetation lush. In turn, the lush vegetation can better conserve water resources.
"Metal can overcome wood, but it is also the skeleton of wood!" The chilling Metal Element aura can prune away the redundant branches and leaves of trees, making them grow stronger. The rules and framework represented by the pen, Metal Element, also make the growth of Wood Element more orderly, rather than chaotic.
The most critical link, the addition of "wood", completely connects the entire five-element cycle!
Earth generates metal → metal generates water → water generates wood → wood generates fire → fire generates earth → earth generates metal...
A perfect, endless, and reciprocating Five Elements Mutual Generation chain is completely formed in Zhenyuanzi's body!
At the same time, the principle of the five elements' mutual restraint does not disappear, but is included in this cycle as an internal adjustment and balancing mechanism.
This prevents the entire system from collapsing due to excessive prosperity of one party, and always maintains a dynamic and healthy balance.
"Wow--!"
At the moment when the five elements cycle was completely formed, Zhenyuanzi's whole body suddenly erupted into dazzling Five-Colored Divine Light!
The five colors of green, red, yellow, white, and black light intertwined and flowed, forming a huge, slowly rotating five-element halo, enveloping him.
Within Quiet Chamber, Golden Lotus Sprouting from Earth, sweet rain falls from the sky, and fragrance blooms in the void, as if to celebrate the birth of a perfect avenue!
Five phantoms of Innate Five Directions Banners appeared behind him, connected end to end, forming a perfect circle, exuding the supreme aura of Dingding Qiankun, isolating the heavens, Invulnerable to All Magic!
At this point, Innate Five Directions Banners was finally completely refined by Zhenyuanzi, and Five Elements Great Dao completed its own cycle!
Zhenyuanzi slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes, there seemed to be a scene of the birth and death of the five elements and Chaos evolving in a flash.
He felt the unprecedentedly harmonious and majestic power in his body, which contained infinite vitality and change, and a strong self-confidence surged in his heart.
The completion of the five elements not only means that he has an additional set of Primordial Wilderness's top defensive treasures, but also means that his Great Earth Chaos Dao foundation has been completely consolidated and completed!
Based on this, the path of Chaos incorporating the Five Elements will become clearer and smoother.
The quality of his mana, the strength of his spiritual consciousness, his affinity for and control over the avenue, all increased accordingly, reaching a whole new level.
This time of seclusion and refining treasures, the harvest far exceeded expectations. Zhenyuanzi knew that after coming out of seclusion, his strength would make a qualitative leap, and he would truly have the abundant capital to gain a foothold, game, and even pursue ultimate transcendence in this Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and even more Great Wind waves in the future!
He smiled slightly, closed his eyes again, and began to consolidate the hard-won perfection of the Five Elements, and tried to integrate it with his own fundamental skill <Great Earth Chaos Scripture> on a deeper level.
