The Five Elements Perfected, Force Shattering the Heavens
In the Xukong, the smoke of battle dissipated.
Dongfang Yueming did not rush to leave the battlefield. Instead, he found a floating meteorite, casually set up a few restrictions, and began to take stock of the final gains of this battle.
Although they didn't encounter any particularly strong opponents, "quantitative change leads to qualitative change," and this wave of success was incredibly lucrative!
With a thought, he brought up the system panel.
[Immortal Points Balance: 286,555,503]
"Over 280 million... While that's a lot, it's still not enough given my current expenses."
He turned his attention to the storage space.
There, mountains of celestial stones emitted a mesmerizing light.
[Low-grade Immortal Stone: 218,000,000!] (218 million)
[Mid-grade Immortal Stone: 32,000,000!] (32 million)
[High-grade Immortal Stone: 300!]
"Call--"
Dongfang Yueming let out a long breath, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
"If all of these resources were recovered, it would be enough for me to squander for a long time. But I'll keep them for now, since once we get to the Taiyi Imperial Capital, immortal stones will be the real currency for purchasing high-grade immortal gold and special treasures."
After calming down, he took out the pile of colorful Law Crystal.
"First, complete the Five Elements!"
He held in his hand the three vibrant green [Low-Level Law Crystal - Wood].
"Absorb!"
[Ding! Comprehended the Lower Law: [Entanglement], [Vitality], [Withering and Flourishing]!]
"Point Allocation! Perfection!"
As the Immortal Points were consumed, the three Lower Law were instantly Perfection.
"Merge!"
The three methods converge into one, transforming into a Perfection [Middle-Level · All-Encompassing Law]!
With the two he had already acquired, he now possessed three Perfection mid-level wood-elemental laws.
"Metal, Water, and Earth are all in their proper positions; only Wood is missing."
"Today, the five elements will Perfection!"
Dongfang Yueming's eyes shone like torches, and his divine sense suddenly snapped shut!
"The Three Elements Return to One, wood ascends to its highest position... Success!"
"Buzz--!!!"
A surge of immense Vitality erupted within him!
A rune, entirely emerald green and radiating eternal Vitality and natural majesty, slowly coalesced!
[Superior Rank: Law of Wood (Perfection)]!
"Boom--!"
The moment the Wood-based Higher Law took shape, the five elemental laws (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) within Dongfang Yueming's body resonated automatically!
Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal!
A perfect closed loop of the Five Elements formed within his body!
Under the cycle of the Five Elements, the quality of his magical power was purified and compressed once again, carrying a terrifying Daoist charm of "the birth and death of the Five Elements, the beginning of the world"!
"The Five Elements Perfection..."
"Even without using the power of the Great Dao, I can suppress all who resist me with just these Law of the Five Elements!"
After sensing the changes in the five elements, Dongfang Yueming turned his gaze to the pile of gray crystals that exuded a heavy aura.
[Crystal of the Law of Force]!
"Power is the foundation of all things; it is the root of everything."
"Absorb!"
First, there were 7 [Low-Level Law Crystal - Power].
[Ding! Comprehended Lower Law -- [Mighty Strength], [Mountain Moving], [Mountain Shattering]...]
"Point Allocation! Perfection!"
"Merge!"
Under his control, the seven Lower Law were fused into two Perfection [Mid-level Law of Force]! Only one Lower Law remained hanging there all alone.
Next came the three [Mid-Level Law Crystal - Power].
"Absorb! Point Allocation! Perfection!"
In an instant, he had three more Perfection Intermediate Law of Force in his hands.
"Now, I possess five Intermediate Law of Force."
Let's try fusing one of the higher-ranking characters first!
"Melt!"
The three gates are aligned in the center!
"Boom--!!!"
A sense of pure, domineering power filled my entire body!
This feeling is different from the endless cycle of the Five Elements, and also different from the destruction of thunder; it is simply... heavy! strong! hard!
[Superior Rank: Law of Force (Perfection)]!
Dongfang Yueming clenched his fist, feeling as if his current physical strength was enough to shatter a star with a single punch!
Finally, he casually absorbed Point Allocation to the [Mid-Rank Wind] and [Mid-Rank Dark] items as well.
After doing all this, he looked at the panel again and found it pleasing to the eye.
[Character: Dongfang Yueming]
[Rule Panel:]
Great Dao: Fire
Superior Rank: Earth, Thunder, Water, Metal, Wood, Strength (All Perfection)
Mid-level: Space, Earth x2, Force x2, Wind, Darkness, Healing (All Perfection)
Inferior: Strength (Perfection)
"Tsk tsk..."
"If word got out about this luxurious setup, it would probably scare those so-called holy sons so much they'd wet their pants."
Dongfang Yueming stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"That's interesting."
"In my current setup, besides the already formed fire, the thing closest to the ' Great Dao ' is actually... power?"
"I have one superior force and two intermediate forces."
"If we get just one more mid-level power, we can complete the second high-level power!"
"And then three more mid-range shots..."
"The drop rate for Law of Force Crystals seems quite high, unlike Space and Time Crystals, which are much rarer."
He had made up his mind.
"Once we arrive in Taiyi Immortal City, we can focus on acquiring strength-type crystals."
"If I could cultivate the ' Great Dao of Force,' and combine it with my [Origin Immortal Physique]... that would be true physical sainthood, Immunity to All Techniques!"
After organizing the laws, he glanced at the cultivation technique.
The [Immortal Emperor Chapter] and [Immortal Ancestor Chapter] of "The Origin Immortal Art" have both been deduced to 100%.
"The bottleneck to mastery lies not in enlightenment, but in resources."
"To advance to the Immortal Emperor, one needs seventh-tier Immortal Gold!"
"Although I have quite a lot of supplies, it's still far from enough for my bottomless physical body."
"It seems I absolutely must go to the Taiyi Immortal Dynasty's treasury... or those top merchant guilds."
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yueming stood up.
But instead of setting off immediately, he rummaged through the pile of spoils and found a strangely shaped treasure.
It was a mask as thin as a cicada's wing, emitting a faint iridescent glow.
[Tier 5 Immortal Artifact - Thousand Illusions Mask]!
This was found in the storage ring of Ancestor Xingyun. Although it is only a fifth-tier item, its functions are extremely practical.
"It can block the divine sense probing of Immortal Emperor- level experts, and can even simulate different auras and law fluctuations."
"Perfect timing. My reputation is too great now. With the deaths of Lei Mie and Ancestor Xingyun, the Taiyi Immortal Dynasty will definitely be shaken."
"Going in with that ' Dongfang Yueming ' face is just asking for trouble."
He put the mask on his face.
"Buzz--!"
A flash of light.
The once upright and refined Dongfang Yueming, dressed in blue, has vanished.
Instead, there was a young master dressed in a brocade robe, with a slightly wicked look on his face and a hint of arrogance in his eyes...
Even the aura emanating from him changed from unfathomable to... Early Immortal King.
Moreover, he even specially simulated a strong... fluctuation of lightning attribute law.
"From this day forward, I am a spoiled young master from a reclusive thunder-cultivating family."
Dongfang Yueming looked up at the Xukong and nodded in satisfaction.
"Taiyi Immortal Dynasty, Divine Firmament Sect..."
"I am coming."
With a flicker of his figure, he activated the [Law of Space] and teleported towards the most prosperous core of the Taiyi Immortal Dynasty — the Taiyi Imperial Capital!
