Five-Colored Divine Light, Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation

In the Primordial World, years were unrecorded and time held little value. In the blink of an eye, many more years had passed.

On this day, within the Blood God Palace, Minghe finally succeeded in comprehending the Five Elements Laws. A burst of five-colored light radiated from his entire body, the power of the five elements swirling around him. At the same time, his understanding of the five elements had reached an entirely new level.

The five elements were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Metal represented gathering, wood represented growth, water represented infiltration, fire represented destruction, and earth represented fusion. Metal engendered water, water engendered wood, wood engendered fire, fire engendered earth, and earth engendered metal. Fire overcame metal, metal overcame wood, wood overcame earth, earth overcame water, and water overcame fire. The five elements mutually engendered and mutually overcame one another.

The five elements also corresponded to the five directions. The south belonged to fire, the east to wood, the north to water, the west to metal, and the center to earth, which assisted in balancing metal, wood, water, and fire. At that moment, Minghe's mind stirred, and instantly, the five major organs within his body—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—each began to emit light. The heart belonged to fire and emitted red light; the liver belonged to wood and emitted green light; the spleen belonged to earth and emitted yellow light; the lungs belonged to metal and emitted white light; and the kidneys belonged to water and emitted black light. Perfectly corresponding to the five elements, they radiated five-colored light: red, green, yellow, white, and black.

These five-colored lights converged behind Minghe, coalescing into a single stream. The five colors intermingled and fused, giving birth to a mighty divine ability. This ability was named the Five-Colored Divine Light. However, this Five-Colored Divine Light was not the same as the one Kong Xuan had used during the Investiture of the Gods. Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light was the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light. With the word "Innate" attached, it was undoubtedly far more exalted and powerful.

Minghe's Five-Colored Divine Light, on the other hand, was cultivated by himself after birth, making it the Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light. It was vastly different from Kong Xuan's Innate Five-Colored Divine Light. In other words, his Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light could not compare to the Innate version. When driven by the same amount of magic power, Minghe's Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light could only sweep away things of the acquired five elements. Kong Xuan's Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, however, could sweep away all things of the five elements, including those of the acquired realm. Truly, anything within the five elements could be swept down. That was the difference between the two. Though separated by only a single word, the disparity in quality was immediately apparent.

Yet even if it could only sweep away acquired five-element things, Minghe's Five-Colored Divine Light was still an extremely formidable divine ability. Minghe withdrew the Five-Colored Divine Light, drawing it back into his body. At that moment, his body trembled, and with a resonant hum, a vast aura spread out from within him. Minghe had broken through.

With the Five Elements Laws successfully formed, Minghe's cultivation advanced naturally, finally elevating him to the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage. Minghe's primary focus had always been the Law of Slaughter, as among all the laws, the Law of Slaughter was the one most compatible with him. So why did Minghe not concentrate solely on comprehending the Law of Slaughter, instead dabbling in other miscellaneous laws? This was because Minghe had grasped the principle that the Three Thousand Great Daos all led to the same destination.

The Five Elements Laws, the Law of Life and Death, the Law of Yin and Yang, and other such laws shared great commonalities with the Law of Slaughter. By comprehending these laws, Minghe could, on one hand, enhance his own strength, enrich his repertoire of techniques, and deepen his cultivation and magic power. On the other hand, it also helped him better comprehend the Law of Slaughter. This time was no different. Minghe had originally hit a bottleneck in comprehending the Law of Slaughter. But once he successfully grasped the Five Elements Laws, he immediately gained many new insights and improvements regarding the Law of Slaughter. With this mutual reinforcement, Minghe successfully broke through!

"Hah!" Minghe let out a long breath and opened his eyes. Within his gaze were both joy and determination—joy at his progress in cultivation, and determination on his path to enlightenment. "Next, I can begin attempting to refine the Blood Sea," Minghe murmured to himself. His cultivation had now reached the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage, and his Primordial Spirit and magic power had both greatly improved. The refinement of the Blood Sea could now commence.

But just then, a system notification suddenly rang out in Minghe's mind. "Ding. Detected that Dijun is using the River Diagram and the Magic Square of Lo Shu to deduce the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array. The host may make the following choices. Choice One: Lend the Enlightenment Tea Tree to Dijun to help him deduce the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array more quickly. Reward: One drop of Three-legged Golden Crow essence blood. Choice Two: Do not provide Dijun with the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Reward: One Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation."

Hearing the two choices given by the system, Minghe shook his head and immediately made his decision. "System, I choose option two," Minghe silently intoned in his heart. He was not surprised that Dijun wanted to deduce the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array. After all, the shock and blow the Twelve Ancestral Witches had dealt to Dijun earlier were truly immense. Even though Dijun had become a Quasi-Saint, he still could not overcome the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

This was absolutely a monumental humiliation. What's more, by now the Witch Clan had grown into the Demon Race's mortal enemy.

After their Demon Race established the Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan had actually declared their dominion over the earth.

What did they take the Heavenly Court for?

Thus, Dijun was firmly resolved to wipe out the Witch Clan, especially the Twelve Ancestral Witches—they absolutely could not be left alive.

After much deliberation, Dijun pinned his hopes on an array he had once conceived.

The Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array. This array was formed by arranging the stars in the sky.

Once activated, it could channel the power of the Zhou heavens' stars, using their combined force to annihilate enemies.

One could imagine how terrifyingly powerful this array would be once completed.

And when that time came, wiping out the Witch Clan would be simple, wouldn't it?

Dijun refused to believe that the Twelve Ancestral Witches could withstand his array.

In the Thirty-three Heavens, Dijun was in seclusion, painstakingly deducing the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, within the Blood God Palace, after Minghe made his choice, he immediately received the system's reward.

A fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

At first, Minghe had high expectations for this fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

After all, in some novels from his past life, the protagonist would obtain the Law of Power from such a fragment.

Then directly cultivate it to success, becoming invincible and rampaging through the Primordial World.

But when Minghe actually got his hands on this fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, he discovered—

A fragment was indeed just a fragment, but within this fragment, there was nothing at all.

This fragment's only function was to assist in cultivation.

Yet even so, Minghe found that this fragment's effect was far inferior to the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

It was almost negligible, a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.

"I'll set it aside for now. Maybe I can collect more pieces later," Minghe muttered to himself, putting away the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.
