Chen Yan let the people around him look at him with surprise, mockery, and even barely concealed competitiveness. He sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness as the Power of Five Elements slowly circulated through his body. The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—were like five great rivers converging, merging, and flowing in a cycle within him, stirring up ripples upon ripples.
Time passed in silence.
The cultivators in the Sea of Enlightenment gradually discovered something astonishing: Chen Yan alone had used up nearly half the Enlightenment Tree sap on the entire first level.
It wasn't that he was deliberately monopolizing it. His Indestructible Body simply craved energy far more than an ordinary person's.
Comprehending the Power of Five Elements all at once required a tremendous amount of enlightenment energy to sustain it.
The apprentices sitting cross-legged throughout the first level could clearly feel the concentration of sap around them steadily decreasing. The milky-white liquid, which had originally reached their waists, had quietly receded around them.
The enlightenment energy being drawn away seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, gathering slowly but steadily in Chen Yan's direction.
Some were disgruntled, others jealous, but not one of them dared approach him.
The bodies of the unlucky souls Chen Yan had casually killed earlier hadn't even gone cold yet.
Anyone who dared provoke this grim reaper now would be a true fool!
So, at that moment, everyone who had survived the melee on the Sea of Enlightenment's first level was racing against time, trying to claim a share of the enlightenment energy from Chen Yan's presence.
In Chen Yan's sea of consciousness, the five-colored radiance grew brighter and brighter.
The five energy rivers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth finally merged completely, forming a perfect, ceaseless cycle.
