Within Five Elements Mountain, the Five Elements circulated in disorder, and foul qi sprang up everywhere.
"Five-Directions Establishing-Pole Dao must have poured no small amount of painstaking effort into creating this Five Elements Mountain. It should be the accumulation of generations. What a pity that it suffered this calamity today, its foundation greatly damaged. It will be difficult for it to achieve anything in the future."

"Had this not happened, entering Five Elements Mountain would not have been so easy. More importantly, with the Five Elements thrown into disorder, the layers of concealment have failed, and the secrets of Five Elements Mountain will be fully laid bare before me."
