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

No years were counted in the Primordial World, and time was worthless. In the blink of an eye, many more years passed.

That day, within the Blood God Palace, Minghe finally succeeded in comprehending the Five Elements Laws.

Waves of five-colored light radiated from Minghe's entire body, while the power of the Five Elements circled around him.

At the same time, Minghe's understanding of the Five Elements reached an entirely new level.

The Five Elements were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Metal gathered, wood grew, water moistened, fire destroyed, and earth harmonized.

Metal gave rise to water, water gave rise to wood, wood gave rise to fire, fire gave rise to earth, and earth gave rise to metal.

Yet fire also restrained metal, metal restrained wood, wood restrained earth, earth restrained water, and water restrained fire.

The Five Elements generated one another, and the Five Elements restrained 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, balancing metal, wood, water, and fire.

With a thought from Minghe, five major organs within his body—his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—each began to shine.

The heart belonged to fire and emitted red light; the liver belonged to wood and emitted azure 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.

They happened to correspond to the Five Elements, releasing five-colored radiance.

Red, azure, yellow, white, and black.

The five-colored lights gathered behind Minghe and condensed into a single beam. The colors intertwined and fused together, transforming into a powerful divine ability.

This divine ability was called the Five-Colored Divine Light.

However, this Five-Colored Divine Light was not the same kind as the one Kong Xuan 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 to it, it was undoubtedly far grander and much more powerful.

Minghe's Five-Colored Divine Light, however, had been cultivated by him after birth. Thus, it was the Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light.

It differed greatly from Kong Xuan's Innate Five-Colored Divine Light. Or rather, Minghe's Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light could not compare to the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light.

When powered by the same amount of magic power, Minghe's Acquired Five-Colored Divine Light could only sweep away acquired objects of the Five Elements.

Kong Xuan's Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, however, could sweep away all objects of the Five Elements, including acquired ones.

Anything truly within the Five Elements could be swept away.

That was the difference between them. Though they differed by only one word, the disparity was immediately apparent.

Even so, though it could only sweep away acquired Five Elements objects, Minghe's Five-Colored Divine Light was still an extremely formidable divine ability.

Minghe withdrew the Five-Colored Divine Light and absorbed it back into his body. At that moment, his body trembled. With a hum, a vast aura erupted from within him.

Minghe had broken through.

With the Five Elements Laws formed, Minghe's cultivation naturally advanced, and he finally reached the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage.

The Law of Slaughter was actually Minghe's primary law of cultivation. After all, among all laws, the Law of Slaughter was the one most compatible with him.

But why did Minghe not focus solely on comprehending the Law of Slaughter, instead choosing to comprehend all sorts of other laws?

It was because Minghe understood the principle that the Three Thousand Great Daos led to the same destination by different paths.

The Five Elements Laws, the Law of Life and Death, the Law of Yin and Yang, and other such laws shared much in common with the Law of Slaughter.

By comprehending these laws, Minghe could strengthen himself, diversify his methods, and deepen his cultivation, magic power, and more.

Furthermore, they could also help Minghe better comprehend the Law of Slaughter.

This time, Minghe had encountered a bottleneck in his comprehension of the Law of Slaughter.

Yet after he successfully comprehended the Five Elements Laws, Minghe immediately gained many new insights into the Law of Slaughter and made considerable progress.

With the two complementing each other, Minghe successfully used this opportunity to break through!

"Hah!"

Minghe let out a long breath and opened his eyes. There was both joy and determination in his gaze.

He was joyful over the advancement of his cultivation, and resolute in his path to attaining the Dao.

"Next, I can begin trying to refine the Blood Sea." Minghe muttered to himself.

His cultivation had now reached the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage, and both his primordial spirit and magic power had greatly improved.

He could begin refining the Blood Sea.

However, 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 one of 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 provided by the system, Minghe shook his head and immediately made his decision.

System, I choose the second option, Minghe silently said to the system in his heart.

Minghe was not surprised that Dijun intended to deduce the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars Array. After all, the shock and blow the Twelve Ancestral Witches had dealt Dijun earlier had been far too great.

Even after becoming a Quasi-Saint, Dijun had still been unable to defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

That was an utter humiliation. What was more, the Witch Clan had now developed into the Demon Race's mortal enemy.

After the Demon Race established the Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan had actually declared that they would govern the earth as well.

What did that make of their Heavenly Court?

Thus, Dijun had made up his mind to destroy the Witch Clan, especially the Twelve Ancestral Witches. He absolutely could not allow them to remain alive.

After much contemplation, Dijun placed his hopes on an array formation he had conceived long ago.

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

Once activated, it could command the stars of the heavens and use their power to annihilate enemies.

One could imagine just how terrifying this grand array's might would be once it was completed.

When that time came, would destroying the Witch Clan not be easy?

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

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

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

A Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

At first, Minghe had held great expectations for this Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

After all, some novels from his previous life had described how their protagonists obtained the Law of Strength from a Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

They then cultivated it successfully and became invincible throughout the Primordial World.

But after Minghe truly obtained this Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, he discovered something.

A fragment was indeed just a fragment. There was absolutely nothing inside it.

The fragment's only use was assisting someone's cultivation.

Even so, Minghe found that its effect was far inferior to that of the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

It could even be called negligible—tasteless to keep, yet a pity to discard.

"I'll put it away for now. Perhaps I'll be able to collect more in the future." Minghe muttered, putting away the Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.
