Outside Blood Vine Demon City lay the chaotic, out-of-control remnants of the battlefield.
Liang Zhaohuang spent more than ten days continuously studying the Five Elements Sect's inheritance, repeatedly casting the "Five Elements Heaven-Mending Hand" in an attempt to complete its heaven-mending method—to smooth out the chaotic, out-of-control law powers on the battlefield and return them to order.
Yet every attempt ended in failure. The heaven-mending method always collapsed midway through. His most successful attempt had merely restored order to the out-of-control law powers within a radius of less than ten feet. Then, once the Heaven-Mending Hand failed for lack of sustaining power and collapsed, that ten-foot area which had just regained order was instantly swallowed by the surrounding chaotic, out-of-control law powers, returning once more to chaos and disorder.
He became increasingly certain that the Five Elements Sect had not completely inherited or mastered the Five Elements True Immortal's legacy—or, at the very least, had failed to fully inherit and master the Five Elements Heaven-Mending Hand.
"Perhaps this is one reason why the Five Elements Heaven-Mending Hand is merely a Dao technique rather than an immortal art?"
Liang Zhaohuang seemed to gain some insight.
Though every attempt ended in failure, Liang Zhaohuang remained tireless in his pursuit. Even from failure, he could gain insights and obtain many useful things.
The more he studied it, the more he understood. Heaven-refining was destruction through the mutual overcoming of the Five Elements; heaven-mending was creation through their mutual generation.
Throughout this process of study, Liang Zhaohuang's comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements—as well as the Dao of destruction and creation born from their mutual overcoming and generation—grew ever deeper.
He even recalled the time when he had only been at Foundation Establishment, when his family was still merely a county gentry
