The deeper you go, the more concentrated the power of the five elements becomes.
On both sides of the path, ancient stone tablets are arranged in order, each engraved with profound Dao patterns, some blue, some red, the five colors alternating, faintly reflecting the insights left by cultivators from different eras.
These stone tablets, having endured countless years, are imbued with the essence of the Five Elements, exuding an ancient and profound aura.
Han Xuanji did not stop walking, but his gaze swept over the stone tablets, and he nodded to himself.
From the moment he stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder, he could sense the extraordinary Daoist essence of this place, making it an exceptionally wonderful place for cultivating the Five Elements Dao Principle.
He even felt that such a feat couldn't have been accomplished by a Rogue Cultivator, Eternal True God. Perhaps the patriarch of the Five Elements Pavilion had also received the inheritance of this place.
These are the Daoist legacies left behind by the powerful figures of the Five Elements Pavilion throughout history. Although they are not as valuable as the core of the altar, they are still rare fortuitous opportunity.
However, having just absorbed twelve portions of the Heavenly Ladder's insights, the Daoist essence on these stone tablets was no longer enough for him to stop and comprehend.
After inquiring with the system, Han Xuanji learned that there were nine-star level beings here, but he did not intend to sign in.
The main event is still in the core area at the back.
Han Xuanji walked for quite some time before finally reaching the end of the path. At that moment, a five-colored light curtain stretched out in front of him, flowing like water, and the outline of a huge building could be vaguely seen behind it.
Han Xuanji raised his hand and touched the light screen. The moment his fingertips made contact, a gentle pushing force surged out from the light screen, as if testing his qualifications.
"Testing my understanding of the Five Elements Dao Principle?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and the next moment, his entire body resonated with the light screen, which suddenly cracked open, allowing him to step inside.
Behind the light curtain lies another world.
On either side of the entrance stand two lifelike stone statues, one holding a piece of Qingmu and the other holding a piece of red fire, their meanings unknown.
The stone statue's eyes seemed to be alive, watching over every living being that stepped into this place, forcing Han Xuanji to be on high alert, fearing that something strange might happen.
Fortunately, nothing happened; the stone statue seemed to have determined that Han Xuanji was not a forced intruder.
Han Xuanji went inside, Five Elements Altar was finally fully revealed before his eyes.
This is a building so magnificent it takes your breath away.
The altar is made entirely of five-colored divine jade, and is in the shape of a regular pentagon. At each of the five corners stands a huge jade pillar, which corresponds to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The jade pillar soared into the clouds, its body carved with dense Dao patterns. These patterns were not static, but rather flowed slowly, as if they were alive, radiating different colors of light.
In the center of the altar, a circular platform floated in the air. A phantom figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged on the platform. The phantom figure was surrounded by intertwined five-colored light, and its face could not be seen, but it exuded a chilling pressure.
Above the altar, five-colored spiritual light intertwined to form a vast light curtain. Within the light curtain, the five elements interacted and restrained each other, evolving into countless mysterious phenomena.
Each evolution was accompanied by fluctuations in the Dao, as if someone was demonstrating the ultimate mysteries of the Dao of the Five Elements on this altar.
Han Xuanji looked around the altar and discovered that it was surrounded by a shallow channel. What flowed in the channel was not water, but liquid spiritual light of five colors. The five colors of spiritual light did not mix with each other, but maintained a delicate balance. They flowed slowly along the channel and made a crisp sound.
Below the altar, there is a huge plaque with four ancient characters engraved on it.
"The Five Elements Return to Their Origin".
Below the four characters, countless smaller characters were carved, which were the last instructions left by the founder of the Five Elements Pavilion.
Han Xuanji focused his attention and gradually understood the rules of this place.
To step onto the altar and obtain the core inheritance, one must first comprehend the Daoist inscriptions carved on the altar.
There are eighty-one Daoist inscriptions in total. Only by comprehending a sufficient number of these inscriptions can one gain the approval of the altar, ascend the high platform, and receive the true inheritance from the illusory figure.
"This is where the founder of the Five Elements Pavilion attained enlightenment, and it is also the place with the most profound Daoist essence within the entire Five Elements Pavilion..."
Standing in this space shrouded in five-colored light, Han Xuanji looked up at the floating platform and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
The more Daoist texts one comprehends, the more complete the inheritance one receives.
It is said that among all those who ascended the Heavenly Ladder of the Five Elements Pavilion, the one who comprehended the most Daoist texts only comprehended sixty of them before breaking through to the Peak Eternal True God.
The founder of the Five Elements Pavilion is said to have comprehended all eighty-one Daoist inscriptions, and his combat power is astonishing, comparable to the powerful and Eternal True God of supreme forces. It is possible that he has now entered the Sage Realm Stage.
Therefore, despite possessing such a fortuitous opportunity Five Elements Pavilion, no powerful force dared to seize it by force.
They were wary of the founder of the Five Elements Pavilion.
"Eighty-one pieces..."
Han Xuanji's gaze swept over the profound Daoist inscriptions on the altar, and he secretly made calculations in his mind.
Without the system, he might have honestly stayed here to comprehend it, spending decades, even hundreds or thousands of years, painstakingly studying each of these Dao inscriptions.
But he had a better option.
Han Xuanji withdrew his gaze and silently recited in his heart:
"System."
[bite--]
The familiar system notification sound rang in my mind, crisp and pleasant.
[Detected the " Five Elements Altar," a ten-star sign-in location. Sign in now? (You can sign in twenty times here, each sign-in costs thirty Eternal Point Count.)]
"Ten stars!"
Han Xuanji was not surprised, after all, it was also the place where a top-level Eternal True God left behind, and the sign-in place of Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven was ten stars.
The Five Elements Pavilion Ancestor was undoubtedly a more powerful figure than the True God Purple Soul, and the Ten Stars were as expected.
But he didn't expect that signing in here would cost thirty Eternal Point Count.
"Twenty sign-in attempts, each costing thirty points... It seems that in the system's assessment, this place is much stronger than Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven."
"Twenty check-ins will require a total of 600 Eternal Point Count."
Han Xuanji pondered to himself. Before coming to the Five Elements Pavilion, he had accumulated a full 1,200 Eternal Point Count. He had already used up a lot of them on the Five Elements Heavenly Stairway, and with this, he only had 480 points left.
"Luckily, I had saved up enough points before coming. If I had rushed here in a panic, I probably would have been left with nothing but regret."
Han Xuanji secretly rejoiced, but his expression remained calm, without the slightest hesitation:
"Sign in twenty times."
As soon as he finished speaking, system notifications flooded his mind like a tidal wave, ringing out continuously.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in at the 10-star check-in location " Five Elements Altar " and obtained the entry " Five Elements Source and Flow "!]
