Five Elements Divine Light

Time flies, another year has passed.

Over this past year, the life of Fang Yang has been very leisurely and carefree.

Sometimes he would seek out his master, Li Daoming, to resolve his doubts and confusion.

Sometimes he would drink tea and discuss the Dao with Senior Sister Weiwei.

The rest of his days were spent in peace, cultivating and contemplating the contents of the Yaoguang Scripture.

His Soul Gold Bead had been completely refined nine months ago, allowing his divine soul to reach the level of an Immortal Platform Realm cultivator.

Within the first three secret realm chapters of the Yaoguang Scripture, aside from the Four Extremities Secret Realm volume which he had not yet deeply contemplated, he had mastered the other two, far exceeding the standards for promoting to a Four Extremities cultivator.

The only thing holding him back was that his physical body's speed in absorbing essence could not keep up.

The three hundred jin of Pure Source gifted by the Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven sect leader before his departure had just been exhausted, allowing him to reach the third heaven of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

"Master, Source!"

Fang Yang arrived at the main hall on the peak, familiar with the route, and after leaving a recording within the formation, he prepared to return to continue his cultivation.

He had been so engrossed in his practice that he had forgotten to ask Li Daoming for some Pure Source in advance for emergencies.

Without Pure Source now, he could still make do with his cultivation, though his progress speed would drop by twenty or thirty percent at most.

"Disciple, come in."

Just then, a voice drifted from within the cave dwelling.

Fang Yang paused his steps, turned around, and walked into the hall.

"Greetings, Master."

Inside the hall, Li Daoming wore black Daoist robes, a faint halo of light circling his body. He ignored Fang Yang's greeting, his expression complex as he spoke:

"In just one short year, you have crossed two heavens to reach the third heaven of the Dao Palace... If I hadn't personally measured your bone structure, I would have suspected you possessed some special constitution."

"When I first saw you, I felt that this child was like me. I didn't expect that my old eyes were clouded; with your comprehension, there is even a sliver of possibility for you to become a supreme expert."

"This is a block of Pure Source, more than enough for you to cultivate to the Four Extremities Secret Realm... and this Enlightenment Tea Leaf... you had best wait until you reach the Four Extremities Secret Realm before using it... Go."

Fang Yang bowed deeply, then left the hall carrying treasures worth hundreds of thousands of jin of Pure Source.

In the Undying Mountain of the Eastern Wasteland, dozens of Enlightenment Tea Leaves fly out every year, but this does not mean the value of such an enlightenment treasure is low.

As for a block of Pure Source, it weighs three thousand jin, enough to support a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.

If not for the fact that Fang Yang had contemplated the Yaoguang Scripture so deeply, and had used the Dao Scripture to unlock the potential gates of his mortal body during his cultivation in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm.

Compared to an ordinary mortal body, he possessed a bit more divinity; otherwise, those three hundred jin of Pure Source alone would have been enough to carry him to the fifth heaven of the Dao Palace.

Fang Yang looked back.

The great doors were already tightly shut.

He turned his head and strode forward.

Four Extremities!

Only by stepping into the Four Extremities Secret Realm could one possess the capital to compete with the top geniuses of the Eastern Wasteland, and only then could one be considered to have begun to show one's edge.

Cultivators of the Wheel Sea and Dao Palace realms were merely like blades of grass on the vast land of the Eastern Wasteland.

Where would the true geniuses of major powers go out to stir up trouble and hone themselves before reaching the Four Extremities Secret Realm?

"Soon."

Fang Yang had profound attainments in the Yaoguang Scripture and had long since calculated when he could promote to the Four Extremities Secret Realm.

With sufficient Pure Source to support him, in just over three hundred days, he would be able to break from his cocoon and become a butterfly, possessing the capital to travel and fight abroad.

At that time, obtaining Fate Points by killing enemies would also become a major source of income for drawing cards.

Returning to his cave dwelling.

Fang Yang looked inward at his Bitter Sea.

The deathly blackness from when it was first opened had long since vanished, replaced by milky-white divine power flowing in trickles from above the Life Spring.

A Divine Bridge spanned the Bitter Sea, piercing into the Dao Palace Secret Realm, where three deities could be seen sitting cross-legged in the Dao Palace, chanting the contents of the Yaoguang Scripture.

The five elements and five viscera were the full picture of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Within the five Dao Palaces, the heart, spleen, and lungs had already manifested deities, leaving only the liver and kidneys to be refined.

"The Dao Palace volume of the Yaoguang Scripture contains the method for the Five Elements Divine Light, but counting all the predecessors of the Yao Guang Sacred Land, in the ten thousand years since, only a dozen people have successfully cultivated the Five Elements Divine Light."

"Moreover, this Five Elements Divine Light is of the acquired variety; it is difficult to reverse it into the innate Five Elements Divine Light, and its power is inferior to the Primordial Sacred Light."

"The difficulty is high, the effect is weak; if not for peerless geniuses with great wisdom cultivating this technique, with the potential to reverse it to the innate state afterward, I fear it would have been kicked out of the Yaoguang Scripture long ago."

Fang Yang was very interested in this.

What he cared about was not how powerful the Five Elements Divine Light he cultivated would be, but the process of cultivating it and the development it brought to the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

If a mortal body wants to walk step by step to the highest peak, it must ensure that the foundation of every secret realm is solid. It does not seek to surpass special constitutions, but it must not fall too far behind.

In the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, he had the Dao Scripture as a reference, which allowed him to lay a foundation comparable to that of a special constitution; when he broke through, five-colored auspicious clouds even manifested.

In the Dao Palace Secret Realm, he had no Emperor Scripture to refer to, but he possessed the genius aptitude of the Dragon Talisman World, in addition to the resources of Bodhi Leaf soaked in Divine Spring.

If Fang Yang could not cultivate the Five Elements Divine Light, who else within the Yao Guang Sacred Land could?

Time flowed like water.

On this day, Weiwei broke through to the fourth layer of the Dao Palace and stepped out of her cave dwelling. With a pair of clear, spirited eyes, she cast a guilty glance at Fang Yang's cave dwelling before quickly looking away.

"It is fortunate that I broke through the Dao Palace Secret Realm first and was taken as a disciple by Master, and then Master took in Fang Yang; otherwise, I fear I would have to call him Senior Brother instead."

The Immortal Spirit Eye was no ordinary ability; when perfected, it could glimpse the path to immortality, and mere common restrictions could not block her gaze at all.

Usually, Weiwei exercised restraint and almost never pried into others' cave dwellings, but today she was truly curious about Fang Yang's cultivation progress, so she took a sneaky peek.

With just this hurried glance, Weiwei saw that all five divine storehouses within Fang Yang's body were opened, with five deities surrounding him, draped in divine armor condensed from the essence of the five elements, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Upon the deities, faint divine light emerged.

There were many disciples within the Yao Guang Sacred Land, and there were no strict rules regarding the order of apprenticeship, so it was easy for a situation to arise where an old cultivator who had lived for thousands of years had to call a newly apprenticed disciple Senior Brother or Martial Uncle.

Therefore, when not from the same master, Yao Guang disciples respected strength above all else, with those of lower realms calling those of higher realms Senior Brother or Senior Sister.

"It was clearly I who came first, so why has Fang Yang caught up and surpassed me, with his realm advancing even faster than mine?"

Weiwei felt this was completely unreasonable.

She knew Fang Yang had high comprehension.

But high comprehension was not omnipotent.

Cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Dao Palace in just two short years was already shocking enough.

Even just this would not have caused Weiwei to waver, as she had long known how monstrous his comprehension was.

But Fang Yang had actually diverted his focus to cultivate the Five Elements Divine Light while in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, and he was nearly finished!

Was this not cheating?

Only then did Weiwei realize that the difference between an ordinary prodigy and a true prodigy could not be made up by a mere pair of Immortal Spirit Eyes.

Among the ancient Great Emperors, there was no lack of those with mortal bodies who attained the Dao.

Although special constitutions had stronger innate endowments, the base of mortal bodies was far larger, and there would always be a few prodigies who far exceeded the world's understanding.

Just as in the Primordial Era, the various Imperial and Royal clans were like clouds and mud compared to the human race, yet the humans, relying on their massive population advantage, were able to produce two Emperors in succession, despite being innately weak.
