Chapter 295 You Can’t Escape From the Five Elements (1/2)

Shen Lian finished his speech and allowed it to sink in among the audience. Shortly after, his eyelid twitched; he turned to Jing Qing Tongzi and said, ”Tong Er, please head to the gates to usher someone in.”

Jing Qing tilted his head upwards and responded, ”Headmaster, may I know how does this person look like?”

Shen Lian smiled and pointed towards the sky, a puddle of clear water was formed and a person's figure could be seen.

The audience could see the scenery of the mountain gate and were secretly impressed that their Headmaster could display such powers effortlessly without the help of any medium. Even if he had yet to obtain immortality, he was already almost there.

People presumed that Shen Lian had yet to obtain immortality because breaking away from Xuwang and cultivating as a Primordial Spirit to become an immortal Zhenren would have triggered enormous dynamics that would not be able to hide from people.

They had known that Shen Lian did not leave the mountain for the past year and instead cultivated in a forbidden area somewhere within the school, as the school had yet to experience the phenomenon they would go through when someone achieved immortal Zhenren.

These thoughts flashed passed the fellow cultivators' mind very briefly as it was nothing worth mentioning. They were all focus on the puddle of clear water and could see a middle-aged man in ragged clothes covered with dust on Wenxin Road.

Even if they could not hear any sound, they could tell that this person was a typical mortal.

The cultivator's definition of mortals were people who showed no signs of Qiaodong and whose mana were not condensed. However, this middle-aged man's eyebrows were heavy as if he has been through the vicissitudes of life.

His eyes were stripped off of all superficialities and returned to innocence, and that would make a good Dao cultivation seed.

This also showed that Shen Lian's skills were so refined that the audiences could actually have such a close look at the person.

Jing Qing Tongzi noted of Shen Lian's order and left the hall.

Shen Lian continued his lecture after commanding Jing Qing.

After he started to understand the five elements of Dao, he had been gradually applying it into his life. He felt that Dao was so vast and anything in the universe could be considered as part of the five elements.

He took on a different path as Ziling as he chose not to be enlightened by the changes of Yin and Yang. Instead, he wanted to focus on the generation and restriction of the five elements.

However, the cultivation of the five elements of Dao was not simple. He could produce the five elements of essenced Qi and transform it into several supernatural powers but the Qi of Dan in him would also turn into the five elements. Once activated, it would feel as heavy as a mountain and it was also very difficult to control.

Even if he was only a heartbeat away from breaking through Xuwang, it was still extremely challenging for him to activate the core of his Qi of Dan.

He could still convert his Qi of Dan to the five elements of essenced Qi and the eight Qi of Taixu, and use all kinds of spells to be enlightened of the endless ingenious Dao. This was because the five elements of Dao were unpredictably deep and he was a lot more powerful now. If he had to fight Yanxu again, it may not be a sure win but he definitely would not be gutted.

It was just a matter of time for him to break through Xuwang, but he still needed a turning point.

Shen Lian decided to not force it and let it be.
