Since Chen Dengming entered the Cultivation World, he has been dealing with the five elements due to the inherent disadvantage of the mutual restraint of his Spirit Root.

After so many years of cultivation, he deeply felt that the profound mystery of the Five Elements could not be described in simple words, but required personal experience to understand the principles of mutual generation and restraint.

The Five Elements Escape Sect's Great Five Elements Alchemy Technique emphasizes finding the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and the five directions of east, south, west, north, and center corresponding to the five elements in the world. This forms a three-dimensional spacetime framework called the 'illusory Pill Furnace '.

At this time, a person stands in the corresponding position of the illusory Pill Furnace according to the corresponding trigram of heaven and earth. This Pill Furnace can then establish a connection with the heavenly stems and earthly branches represented by the five elements and the five internal organs of the human body. The person then becomes the carrier of the illusory Pill Furnace, that is, the human is the Pill Furnace.

Once a man-made Pill Furnace is formed, human power can borrow the power of the five elements of heaven and earth to refine elixirs. Imagine, under such great power, it's like the dignified Heavenly Dao Venerable helping people refine elixirs. Even if only one or two tenths of the power can be mobilized, divine elixirs and spiritual spirit medicine can still be refined.

However, relying solely on this one aspect of the Five Elements Alchemy Technique is insufficient for Chen Dengming to refine the Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

But we can learn from others' experiences to improve ourselves.

With his profound understanding of the Dao and his extensive knowledge of the universe, he has gradually developed his own <Chen Family Cosmic Alchemy Method> by combining the Five Elements Alchemy Technique with his own enlightenment.

Inside the Heavenly Human Hall within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

Chen Dengming floated cross-legged in the center of the hall, his own body resembling a small world, sensing the vast universe beyond the Ancient Realm with his extraordinary willpower.

The Five Elements Dao Lord takes Heaven and Earth as his own, using himself as the key to unlock them. He borrows the power of the Five Elements from Heaven and Earth with human effort. This method is undoubtedly profound, but even the most profound is not as profound as Heaven. If Heaven and Earth are discarded, a person is still just a person.

Chen Dengming, however, regarded heaven and earth as himself, and himself as heaven and earth.

Even if you disregard heaven and earth, he is still himself, and he is also heaven and earth; this is the foundation of his Heavenly Human Dao.

In the concept of "Unity of Heaven and Man," humans are born from the combined energy of heaven and earth.

Therefore, humans must correspond to the vast universe, and are a microcosm of it.

If the vast universe is disturbed by even the slightest disturbance, the microcosm of humanity cannot remain calm and undisturbed.

With the Yin-Yang and Five Elements serving as a medium, the relationship between the macrocosm and microcosm becomes even more interconnected.

However, as the Dao Lord, Chen Dengming possesses his own Dao Domain, and he also has the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, which can replace the Five Elements, and his Dao Domain can replace spacetime.

His will is the Heaven's Will; with a mere thought, he can cause the seasons to change.

Therefore, he is no longer simply a tiny 'person' situated between heaven and earth, but can be a small world, a microcosm, in his own right.

He sees himself as a microcosm of heaven and earth, capable of affecting everything with a single move, using the power of his microcosm to leverage the vast universe beyond the Ancient Realm.

This level and realm far surpasses that of the Five Elements Dao Lord.

After these numerous ideas and theories took shape in his mind, Chen Dengming, with his profound knowledge of the Dao and astonishing comprehension, began to create his own <Chen Family Cosmic Alchemy Method>.

Heavenly Human Hall, Chen Dengming began practicing alchemy as soon as he created it.

By sensing one's own microcosm, one can remotely perceive the macrocosm beyond the Ancient Realm, thus establishing a connection between one's own microcosm and the macrocosm beyond the realm.

The point of convergence in this connection is like the search for a tacit understanding between humanity and the universe during the time when humanity and Unity of Heaven and Man.

However, it has now evolved into a tacit understanding between Chen Dengming's own microcosm and the macrocosm outside the world. This tacit understanding is called the 'neutral point'.

Such as the neutral point in the transformation and transition between Yin and Yang;

For example, the boundary between day and night, the transition point between extreme movement and stillness;

Like the point of equilibrium between life and death.

Chen Dengming was inside the Heavenly Human Hall, but his thoughts Divine Sense had already soared to the vast universe beyond the realm, like a kite flying freely in the cosmos. As the kite completely merged into the universe, he gradually established a connection with it through the string that connected it.

At this moment, he felt as if he had anchored the precise coordinates of his own microcosm in the universe, without needing to refer to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams or the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, but only needing to refer to the positions existing in the two concepts of 'spacetime' and 'universe'.

His microcosm, along the lines formed by his thoughts Divine Sense, completely connected with the macrocosm outside the physical world.

Boom!--

Chen Dengming instantly felt a vast and boundless power and an endless expanse of space and time.

Spacetime seemed to be expanding at an unimaginable speed, but this great power was also rapidly dissipating at the same time, as if a huge hole was constantly absorbing the rapidly disappearing power.

Chen Dengming was already deeply shocked when he first arrived at this place.

Although he had been a time traveler before and was no stranger to the universe, one could even say he knew more about it than most people in this world.

But at this moment, his own microcosm was connected with the outer universe, and only then could he feel the awe-inspiring depth and boundless vastness.

Even though he has now attained the Dao, he still feels a sense of insignificance.

Soon, Chen Dengming calmed his mind and began to try to use his own microcosm to leverage the macrocosm, borrowing the power of the universe to help him refine the Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

As his will solidified, the surrounding air suddenly hummed, and tiny static electricity began to flash and crackle around him.

Soon, the static electricity transformed into thick, crackling arcs of electricity. Chen Dengming gathered the power of his entire Dao Domain, his body seemingly entwined with boundless Dao power, magnificent and terrifying.

His personal aura merged with the Dao Domain, seemingly expanding and surging as if it were spinning wildly with his microcosm.

Rumble! --

The universe, which was remotely sensing the power, was also affected by his will, which was like a kite string that he had released. A powerful force that was being lost suddenly descended along this 'kite string' formed by his thoughts and will.

Boom!!--

A beam of light, composed entirely of cosmic energy even more concentrated than the Qi of the universe, suddenly descended from the Ancient Realm, blasting through the Heavenly Human Hall and instantly landing on Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming immediately felt an unimaginable, terrifying heat and a fierce, explosive sensation. His powerful body was ignited in the first instant, and extraordinary, surging power rushed into his limbs and bones, as if to tear him to shreds.

In that brief moment, he was caught off guard and felt an intense, bursting sensation in his body.

These powers are even more difficult to refine than the Qi of the universe, and he cannot absorb them quickly.

"Not good!"

Divine Sense Chen Dengming immediately severed the kite string connecting his thoughts and will.

The next moment, the terrifying beam of light transmitted from outer space lost its connecting medium and instantly disintegrated.

Boom boom boom--

Above the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, a vast expanse of cosmic energy suddenly expanded and spread out, bursting open into clusters of scorching flames and raging high-temperature energy, resembling bursts of fireworks.

Chen Dengming frowned slightly, not expecting that the mysterious power from the universe would cause such great destruction simply by dissipating.

He acted swiftly, and with a single grab, the Dao power in the air above the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm surged and converged, condensing into a Heavenly Net that quickly gathered together the vast amount of explosive cosmic energy.

After just a dozen or so Heavenly Net were applied, all the explosive cosmic energy was contained, and the danger was averted.

However, Chen Dengming knew that the cosmic energy caused by the dissipation of more energy had spread to the starry sky outside the Ancient Realm, which might cause fierce cosmic energy to rage in all directions. At that time, the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain cultivators who survived outside the Ancient Realm would suffer again.

However, at this time, he suffered the most.

Chen Dengming examined himself and found that even his powerful body was now like a boiled shrimp, his skin was completely red, and some areas were even covered with blisters.

As for the hair on the body surface, it had all been completely burned away.

This was only the damage to the surface of his body. At this moment, the large amount of cosmic energy that was difficult to absorb was also causing damage to his internal organs and even his brain, causing Chen Dengming an extremely uncomfortable burning pain.

"The power that was lost from the universe was only released at this level, yet it has injured my body to this extent. Even if my body were immersed in magma or even drank a bellyful of magma, it would not be injured to this extent."

Chen Dengming was quite surprised and quickly expelled most of the cosmic energy that was difficult for him to absorb, using the Heavenly Net to trap it.

Only a small portion was left inside the stomach for observation.

Chen Dengming discovered that these energies were highly penetrating and corrosive. Even though he manipulated his Dao Body cells to be arranged very tightly and his will to be like an impenetrable wall, these energies still managed to penetrate through him with great difficulty, causing damage.

He then attempted to absorb this cosmic energy.

Theoretically, he could also refine the Qi of the universe, but the effort required for refining it was disproportionate to the gains, so the Qi of the universe was rarely used by cultivators for cultivation.

This is like an ordinary person carrying a fishing net weighing over a hundred pounds, struggling on the beach all day, exhausted, only to catch a few oysters that aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap—the effort and the harvest are completely disproportionate.

But a small harvest doesn't mean there was no harvest at all.

He could expend some effort to refine and absorb the Qi of the universe, and since this cosmic energy could dissipate and transform into a large amount of cosmic Qi, it could obviously also be decomposed and absorbed.

The power of this universal energy gave him a glimpse of the possibility of refining the flesh Flesh and Blood of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable. After all, even his own Dao body could only withstand it for a short while, and the flesh Flesh and Blood of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable might not be able to hold out for long after losing the protection of his will.

However, the process and methods of leveraging the energy of the macrocosm with the microcosm still require adjustments and repeated familiarization before the <Chen's Cosmic Alchemy Method> can gradually move from immaturity to maturity.

Time passed.

Three years passed quickly.

In the tranquil starry sky hundreds of thousands of miles outside the Ancient Realm, a massive pillar of light composed of cosmic energy suddenly appeared from the void deep within the universe and crashed down upon a huge meteorite suspended in the starry sky.

On that meteorite, Chen Dengming, his body swirling with Dao power, suddenly controlled a mass of Phoenix Netherworld Dao Venerable's Flesh and Blood to shield his head.

Instantly, the surging energy within the beam of light violently filled his Flesh and Blood.

Boom--

The Flesh and Blood suddenly emitted a faint, suppressed spiritual power, and then burst into a blazing Dao fire, which intertwined with the descending pillar of light, seemingly attacking and devouring each other in a scorching state.

Time passed second by second, and several dozen days later, the Dao fire rising from the Flesh and Blood had become much weaker.

Chen Dengming quickly formed hand seals, and the Dao power on his body transformed into the Five Phases Spiritual Qi, which radiated five colors.

The Spiritual Qi in the universe is scarce, and the existence of the Dao Domain provides him with the Five Phases Spiritual Qi anytime and anywhere.

As the Five Phases Spiritual Qi continued to increase, under Chen Dengming's guidance, the pillar of light descending from the depths of the universe gradually began to shimmer with five colors, transforming into surging power of the five elements.

This power of the five elements is unlike the Five Phases Spiritual Qi, but the two seem to have the same origin. Chen Dengming was able to mobilize it with his five elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, but it was still very difficult to absorb.

However, Chen Dengming's main purpose was not to absorb this power, but to use the principle of mutual generation of the five elements to condense the five elements divine fire and refine the Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

According to the ancient texts of the Five Elements Escape Sect, the most powerful flame in the world is the Five Elements Divine Fire.

Legend has it that the true divine beast, the phoenix, can condense five-colored divine light from its tail into five-element divine fire, which surpasses even the Phoenix Dao Fire.

However, even the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had not been able to research that kind of divine fire.

After three years of tinkering, Chen Dengming finally figured out how to use the power of the five elements in his personal microcosm to leverage the power of the five elements in the outer universe and condense the Five Elements Divine Fire.

In Chen Dengming's understanding, this principle is similar to the primordial energy of the universe, such as the One Element, Two Forms, Three Powers Symbols, Five Elements, and Six Harmonies.

Therefore, the Qi of the universe can be transformed into the original Five Elements power, and the original Five Elements power can give birth to the infinitely powerful Five Elements Divine Fire through the mutual generation of the Five Elements.

At this moment, with the accumulation and flow of a large amount of the power of the five elements, Chen Dengming immediately used the Five Phases Spiritual Qi as a guide to mobilize the power of the five elements to arrange and combine them in the corresponding order.

This arrangement and combination is not much different from constructing a Technique Method model; it is very simple. It simply uses the sequence of earth generating metal, Gold Generates Water, water generating wood, and wood generating fire to advance the power of the five elements step by step, until finally the power of the fire element is completely strengthened, forming the divine fire of the five elements.

After a hundred breaths.

With a whoosh, a burst of five-colored divine fire, fueled by a large amount of the power of the five elements, was suddenly born, and immediately a strong aura of danger and terrifying high temperature began to spread.

This flame, only the size of a soybean, instantly released astonishing light and heat, melting through the void to create curtains, and then quickly melting and breaking through the curtains, spreading light and heat wildly, as if it could even burn and distort the rules of spacetime.

"It's hot, so hot, so hot!"

Chen Dengming's expression changed repeatedly. Even though he was prepared and had formed a barrier with the power of the five elements to envelop himself, and had also formed a protective body with his Dao Domain inside, he was still penetrated by the astonishing heat in that instant, and his entire body was ignited again.

A violent and terrifying burning sensation spread throughout his entire body.

The Flesh and Blood of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, which was located at the very center of the flame, was instantly ignited. The Flesh and Blood were rapidly roasted and refined, and the Dao energy within them quickly rose and gathered.

"It's done!"

Even though Chen Dengming was in excruciating pain and felt as if he were melting, he dared not relax. He immediately seized the opportunity to mobilize the spiritual energy of the Five Phases Spiritual Qi, draw upon the power of the five elements, and then guide the divine fire of the five elements to refine the power in his Flesh and Blood, condensing it into small balls that emitted high temperatures.

This is the golden elixir refined from the Flesh and Blood of the Dao Venerable using the Five Elements Divine Fire.

As the Five Elements Divine Fire continued to burn, the clumps of Flesh and Blood energy rapidly shrank, becoming increasingly pure, crystal clear, and radiating a powerful and suppressed energy fluctuation.

In this short period of time, Chen Dengming's entire body was scorched so badly that all his hair fell out, his body was covered in blisters, and he was in excruciating pain.

However, this process was also fulfilling; he felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

The power of the Five Elements Divine Fire was simply beyond imagination. It could easily melt through the universe and the starry sky, melting through layer after layer of curtains, causing spacetime to become disordered. Even the Phoenix Dao Fire could not withstand the assimilation and absorption of this terrifying divine fire.

Chen Dengming even felt that the power of the Five Elements Divine Fire might have surpassed that of immortal techniques.

Because at this moment, in his observation, even fundamental forces like the universe and spacetime were being rapidly burned and distorted.

If he were to accidentally find himself in the midst of the Dao Venerable's Flesh and Blood, he would likely be instantly incinerated, his body and soul annihilated.

This power is too terrifying and dangerous. Even though the pre-cast time is long, with frequent practice, it may no longer be as simple as alchemy, but a true immortal technique rule killing move that he has comprehended, which is the key to entering the Dao Venerable realm.

Just a dozen breaths later, thirty-six golden cores filled with surging Dao power appeared.

Chen Dengming controlled the heat and felt it was about time; if he continued refining it any longer, he feared that all thirty-six golden pills would be burned to ashes.

He immediately mobilized the Five Phases Spiritual Qi to guide the primordial power of the five elements away from the divine fire of the five elements.

The process of this operation is just like using chopsticks to pick up a soup spoon and move it away, while the process of adjusting the heat beforehand is like using chopsticks to pick up a soup spoon to stir-fry vegetables, requiring even more subtle control of the heat.

As a large amount of the power of the five elements dispersed, the Five Elements Divine Fire lost its fuel and quickly went out.

The layers of void that had been melted through rapidly closed up.

Chen Dengming reacted swiftly, using his Heavenly Net to capture the thirty-six golden pills, preventing the divine pills he had painstakingly refined in the starry sky from being sucked into an unknown spacetime by the chaotic curtain of time. Who knows which darling of heaven and earth would have such a fortuitous encounter?

The thirty-six golden pills, without being roasted by high temperatures, cooled rapidly within the Heavenly Net. Each pill was the size of a longan, with five-colored patterns appearing on its surface, and filled with astonishingly abundant Dao power within.
