His surname was Deng.
Cheng Xinzhan silently took note, but felt too embarrassed to press further, so he turned to the spell itself. "Fellow Daoist, what is so wondrous about this Five-Colored Divine Light, and how does it differ from the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light?"
Qian Boya answered, "The Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light is a killing art, a method for injuring others and attacking their bodies. The Five-Colored Divine Light, however, has another particular name: 'Within the five elements, nothing cannot be swept away.' It is a supreme method combining offense and defense."
"Nothing cannot be swept away?"
Cheng Xinzhan repeated the words, not quite understanding.
Qian Boya nodded and said proudly, "Once you master this Five-Colored Divine Light and release it, whether humans, demons, spirits, monsters, weapons, Dharma Treasures, spirit objects, or anything else—as long as they fall within the five elements, a sweep of this Divine Light will instantly seal their five elements. They will be unable to employ any spell or spiritual power, and will immediately fall, yours to seize at will."
"It possesses such power?"
Cheng Xinzhan was somewhat surprised.
Qian Boya nodded, but then added, "However, the true 'Nothing Cannot Be Swept Away' is the power of that Divine Lord's innate divine ability. It is said to sweep down all postnatal spirits and postnatal objects, regardless of an enemy's realm or a Dharma Treasure's grade. But as I mentioned, our clan's spell was simplified from that divine ability, undergoing a series of changes to make the difficult easy, cutting things out and reducing its power. Besides, we are flesh and blood, naturally far inferior to innate divine beings, so its divine might cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the true Five-Colored Divine Light."
Cheng Xinzhan nodded. "Naturally."
