Five Elements Forge My Dao, the Curtain Seals Two Venerables!
This river is vast and wide, spanning ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). It floats in mid-air, winding and turning, as if it came down from the sky. Its surging flow has an unstoppable and irreversible momentum!
Just like a person's life, it's hard to look back.
In the depths of that flowing water, one can vaguely see many scenes: the seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, rise and fall, success and failure, which can cause confusion in one's mind.
Xiao Li and the others below were merely gazing at the river from afar when their minds were captivated, instantly falling into a daze. They even forgot to maintain their sword formation. If it weren't for the Mind Formula circulating in their minds, which kept a sliver of Spiritual Light within them, they would have lost their protection and fallen into danger.
"These water flows..."
Not only the younger generation like Xiao Li, but even the illusory old Daoist priest showed a solemn expression after seeing the river.
"Previously, I thought this god had merely obtained the methods of the Divine Path and Human Path paths and could stimulate each other's potential to increase their power. But now it seems that he has actually managed to forcefully combine two completely different lineages! How did he do that?"
As he spoke, a hint of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes, and his gaze towards the river gleamed with a glint of light.
"I advise you not to think about anything else for now. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to defend yourself!" Just then, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord said this, then made a hand seal, releasing bursts of divine power and Divine Radiance that enveloped his Divine Body and formed a barrier. He then raised his hand and grabbed the bead that Zhao Wu had transformed into, as well as the cat blood scattered in the world, and fixed it in front of and behind him.
"Hmm?" Seeing the other party's demeanor, the old Daoist also sensed something. A thought flashed through his mind, and with a shift in Karma Fortune, he understood the reason. He shook his head and said, "Even if the Human Path and the Divine Path are combined, it may not necessarily work. After all, the difference in realm is too great; it cannot be bridged by desperate fighting and trickery..."
Before he finished speaking, the surging water surrounding the two of them suddenly burst open, then spread out like a curtain, converging from Eight Directions to cover the sky and earth, enveloping the Dao and the God within it!
Call!
Humanistic flow, words and phrases becoming sounds, ethereal and mysterious, as if opening a door to hidden wonders, an invisible pressure descends, pressing down on the bodies of the old Daoist and the Eye-Bearing Star Lord, urging them to be absorbed into it!
However, the Star Lord was prepared. With a turn of the cat's blood and a movement of the bead, along with a change in the Divine Radiance on his body, he blocked all the mysterious pressure, preventing it from Divine Body.
On the other side...
"What audacity! Does he intend to wipe out this humble Daoist and the Star Lord in one fell swoop?" The old Daoist also felt threatened. His eyes flashed again, and he revealed a cold smile. With a flick of his hand, Earthfire, wind, and water changed in his palm and then surged out!
The five lights changed, not only dispelling and repelling the mysterious artistic conception and oppressive aura, but also Qi Nurturing to rise steadily!
"My Five Elements Method is a projection of my Primordial Spirit. Even though it's only a temporary descent right now, without the Primordial Spirit bridging the gap and connecting with my physical body, it can still evolve the world. If this place were Sealed Forbidden Land, isolated from the outside world and unable to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, its power would be even greater. But even now, it's not First Rank deity can withstand."
In fact, just as he finished speaking, the old Daoist waved his sleeve, and the five rays of light dispersed, whistling through the air like five arrows, piercing straight into the approaching curtain.
With a series of silent "plop" sounds, water droplets appeared on the curtain of the long river, and five-colored light was absorbed into it. However, the five droplets were dragged and pulled by the five whirlpools and eventually disappeared!
"Huh?" The old Daoist priest finally changed color, narrowed his eyes, raised his left hand, and his fingers bent and straightened in turn, rapidly flicking!
Within the curtain, the five-colored radiance was pulled apart by the paths of Human Path, Divine Path, and the Heart Path.
To define the nature of Human Path, one must explain the Five Elements.
The divine Divine Path guided the absorption of the Five Elements.
That Heart Path connected to the spiritual, must generate the essence of the Five Elements.
In the vastness, the Five Elements change, and the deepest mysteries are gradually revealed, making them clear at a glance, leaving no room for concealment!
Below, Qiu Yan's heart stirred.
"Oh? This is actually a projection of the Primordial Spirit formed by the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements. I've heard that this Primordial Spirit is related to the Nascent Soul, yet also has the meaning of sublimation. Perfect, perfect. My Fleshly Body Nature Cultivation has reached Transformation Realm, but my Life Cultivation still has a bottleneck. Although I have a treasure of Qi and Blood like the Blood-Red Ring, I don't understand its fundamental truth, so I can't absorb it rashly. But if I can decipher the mysteries of the Five Elements, it can not only assist in Immortal Path cultivation but also perfect the doctrine of Human Path. The Five Elements Method have been hidden within them since ancient times..."
The moment he made that thought, the River of Human Culture, which combined the power of the Three Bodies and mixed the Divine Path, Human Path, and Heart Paths, transformed into an overwhelming curtain, completely sealing the Eye-Bearing Star Lord and the old Daoist inside, and rapidly shrinking within it.
From a distance, it looks like a cage, imprisoning the two powerful beings within!
Underground, Dingyue and the others, who had slowly regained consciousness, looked up and witnessed this scene, which made them all widen their eyes in surprise.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, part of the curtained cage bulged and deformed, seemingly about to break, but eventually disappeared.
Inside, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord fixed himself with a pearl and stained the curtain with cat blood. However, the blood collided with the river water, causing a loud bang and distorting its shape. But it was immediately destroyed. The part of the cat blood that had been refined by humans was actually removed, and the black cat's Origin Source nature was slightly aroused, as if it wanted to break free from control!
"Oh? Good heavens, the Human Path within this river curtain is truly formidable. Could it be that it aims to ensure that all living beings it comes into contact with are pure of heart and uphold their original intentions?" Upon discovering this, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord put the black cat into his sleeve, revealing a look of surprise. He then threw the bead out, which struck the curtain and froze the rolling curtain in place!
On the other side, not far away, the old Daoist priest was surrounded by five-colored light, with flames, glaciers, mountains, weapons, and jungles erupting and being destroyed. But from the extreme of destruction, life was born, evaporating, freezing, suppressing, shattering, and solidifying the river water that fell nearby.
At the same time, his twitching fingers stopped, and on his fingers were Karmic Thread that were rarely seen by ordinary people, each strand clearly showing the cause and effect of the matter.
"So that's how it is. This god does have some background. He Heaven-Born Deity, and there are people he favors. They treat each other with sincerity and have a fortuitous encounter, gaining some insight into the Way of the Mind. Amazing! If I could capture such a god and refine him into a god within his acupoint ahead of time, it might be of great help in surviving the Three Calamities and Five Decays!"
It turned out that the old Daoist priest had just tried to calculate Qiu Yan's past Divine Spirit Body, but ultimately, due to limited information and the vastness of the starry sky, he could not know everything.
Then, he turned to the Eye-Bearing Star Lord and said, "Star Lord, if you can tell me the Divine Name and Divine Office of this god, I can give you a way to leave and let you leave Zhou Rao..." In an instant, his attitude changed drastically.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Eye-Bearing Star Lord smiled slightly. "That's an interesting question. Whether I can leave Zhou Rao is not up to you. In a place like this, I can come and go as I please." He casually grabbed several invisible streams of water and fire in his hand.
"Besides, your actions and words don't quite match." With that, Chimu, his gaze piercing like two sharp swords aimed directly at the old Daoist's chest!
The old Daoist priest's chest bulged, and the small world within his chest churned like the sea. Then his chest deflated, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air. Within the air, one could faintly see Earthfire, wind, and water, just like a wisp of Innate Turbid Qi from when the world had just been pacified and the Chaos had not yet completely subsided!
Snap!
The turbid air collided with the gaze, and both vanished.
Then, the old Daoist's expression shifted, and his gaze toward the Eye-Bearing Star Lord held a strange quality. "So it was a wisp of light from the ancient people who observed the heavens and earth and was thus deified in High Antiquity times. How rare! I wonder which generation you are, and how much of your ancient memories remain?"
"No need for you to trouble yourself, Daoist." A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Eye-Bearing Star Lord. He raised his hand and waved it, and the bead was activated, suppressing the surroundings and forcing the ever-approaching curtain of river water outward!
On the other side, the old Daoist also activated the turbid energy of his small world, combined with the Five Elements' halo, and unleashed it, pushing the curtain back the way it came. Then, with a sway of his body, he rushed forward, using his Immortal Method to fight against the Eye-Bearing Star Lord's manifest supernatural Divine Ability.
Instantly, light scattered, the scene distorted, and time seemed to reverse. The aftershocks reacted to the approaching curtain, causing it to ripple and recede along its original path!
Beyond the curtain...
After the long river unfolded, the curtain enveloped a god that contracted, transforming into a sphere that continued to shrink, though now it was repeating itself.
Below, Qiu Yan shuddered, and cracks appeared on his Divine Body, with Divine Radiance shining through them. From a distance, his body trembled as if it could not withstand the pressure and was about to collapse. Although he used his shared will to suppress the three forces, it was ultimately difficult to sustain. For First Grade Deity, the strength of his Divine Body was limited.
On the other hand, as Qiu Yan's realm gradually stabilized, the oppressive force of the Continent slowly spread, aiming to expel all deities of the Third Grade and above.
This rejection depends on the deity's own level of attainment. A higher level of attainment and Divine Grade quality allows them to withstand the rejection, while a lower level will eventually lose its strength.
"My time is running out..." With a thought, Qiu Yan's Divine Body soared into the air, raising his arms and placing his hands together!
Boom!
Those two divine arms actually exploded!
At the same time, the curtain of the long river, which was reversing, also trembled and suddenly contracted inward!
"Um?"
Inside, while the old Daoist priest and the Eye-Bearing Star Lord were fighting, they also unleashed their power to resist the shrinking of the curtain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The curtain, shaped like a sphere, twists and changes.
The closer one gets to the curtain, the more cracks appear on the Divine Spirit Body, and several parts of the Divine Body even shatter one after another. The curtain, seemingly stirred by this, slowly releases its radiance, its power steadily increasing, until finally...
Whoosh!
During a violent tremor, the three beams within the curtain, operating in unison and resisting the extraordinary power of a single god, shrank to the size of a room before solidifying!
Qiu Yan raised his eyes, and countless blocks of characters surged forth, forming a single character in the air—
"Seal up!"
