Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 690 The Five Elements Combined to Create a Wonderful Method, Facing the Chao Xuanlong (Part 2)

"A high-level mysterious place?"

Chao Xuanlong raised an eyebrow: "High bid? How high?"

"It's almost ten times more expensive than the normal price!"

"what?"

Chao Xuanlong was shocked: "Such a grand gesture?"

Exploring the mysterious and dangerous is an extremely dangerous activity, hence the already high normal price; this price has suddenly increased tenfold...

"What kind of treacherous place is worth such a huge sacrifice?"

Chao Xuanlong couldn't help but clench the Tongshi Ball. Could it be a secret, mysterious place of the Weitian Dao Sect, or an alternate dimension in the Guixu?
"After Feng Wuding posted the recruitment notice, it caused an uproar and attracted countless seekers of the hidden places. It is said that many seekers who have been famous for many years are contacting him."

The disciple replied respectfully, "It is said that many true disciples of great clans, and even 'Du Jin,' one of the three great Dao disciples of Chuanfuhai, have gone to Fengshen City."

"Is that so?"

Chao Xuanlong waved for him to leave, then opened the Communicative Knowledge Sphere with a thought. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the Friend Visiting interface and asked Ying Xuanlong.

"Possibly a secret training ground of the Weitian Dao Sect?"

Before long, Chao Xuanlong received a response confirming the matter was true. However, to his surprise, Feng Wuding rejected everyone, including Ying Xuanlong and Du Jin.

"This is someone trying to eat it all by themselves!"

Chao Xuanlong closed the Knowledge Sphere, but couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "Recruiting Seekers with such fanfare, do they really want to slack off from the Five Great Grotto-Heavens and monopolize the spoils?"

Do you really think that joining the Weitian Dao Sect will intimidate the Five Great Grotto Heavens?

He felt that Feng Wuding had probably lost his mind, but he kept the matter in mind, planning to follow Ying Xuanlong to get a share of the profits after he refined the Great Pill.

"There's no rush. Let's deal with those eight thousand miles first."

Chao Xuanlong calmed his mind. Compared to the high-level monster land whose true nature he didn't know, the benefits of defeating Ba Wanli were obvious.

Over the course of more than a month, he watched as the number of viewers for the 80,000-mile show surged at an astonishing rate, and several times he couldn't help but prepare to step in.

"We can't wait any longer. The others in the top twenty are probably already eyeing this person..."

Chao Xuanlong felt a slight sense of urgency. He had also played a significant role in making Ba Wanli famous in Tian Shi Yuan so quickly.

If he were to have his harvest stolen before he could reap it, he would probably be furious.

"Shu~"

Within the star-like screen that formed the spectator area, various spectator messages flowed like a waterfall, changing rapidly.

"Eighty thousand miles".

With a slight thought, Chao Xuanlong noticed that the viewing information within the star screen had dwindled to only 80,000 li.

"The First Battle Across the Three Realms of Eight Thousand Miles!"

"The first battle in five thousand wins!"

"Crushing Zhao Heihu across 80,000 li..."

……

The messages were densely packed, numbering in the thousands at a glance, and the number of spectators was quite large, especially after the five thousand wins, which attracted even more people to watch.

"This progress is truly astonishing; he is likely a true disciple of some great sect..."

Clicking on a few battles at random, Chao Xuanlong couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Although they were still no match for him, they were more than ten times stronger than before he broke through to the next realm.
While it's unlikely to be the legendary innate Dao body, it must be a god-level genius with some kind of powerful physique...

"If he can maintain this level of progress, he might actually reach the top of the combat rankings in twenty or thirty years?"

Chao Xuanlong's heart sank slightly. He never underestimated his opponents, and as things stand, Ba Wanli was qualified to be called a 'powerful dragon from beyond the realm'.

"Can't wait any longer!"

With less than two years until the Battle Rankings conclude, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, Chao Xuanlong decisively chose to make his move.

He first notified a few familiar photographers to warm him up, and then calmed his mind and watched the battles after the Eighty Thousand Miles Breakthrough in detail, waiting for his reappearance.

……

"Om~"

Li Yuan introspected his own body, and with the blessing of the Five Senses Set, he saw once again the divine body, intertwined with two colors, being conceived in the deepest part of his body.

"What kind of divine body could it be?"

Li Yuan concentrated intently, and he could even faintly see wisps of divine runes coming from nowhere and disappearing into the two-colored divine light.

During this period, he borrowed many books about the Daoist body, but gained nothing and could not identify what kind of constitution was developing in his body.

"The Dao Body is formed when a certain type of divine runes converge within a cultivator's body. Theoretically, the fundamental method a cultivator cultivates, as well as various spells, may influence the direction of the Dao Body's formation."

"The seven spiritual forms I cultivate, and all my spells, are mostly based on the Five Elements..."

"The Five Elements Body, the Five Extremes Divine Body... or the Yin-Yang Sacred Body?"

After a long period of perception, Li Yuan withdrew from this state and entered the Niwan Divine Realm.

"Om~"

On Xuan Teng Island, faint, intertwined light flows and rotates slowly around the Five Extremes Temple, nourishing the island and the divine realm.

This change occurred after he visualized the Xuanhuang Qilin.

"Woo~"

When Li Yuan stepped onto Xuan Teng Island, the Five Extremes Temple trembled slightly, and five-colored light gathered like waves, as if draping him in a five-colored robe.

In that instant, he could feel the rhythm of the entire divine realm, with the Five Extremes Temple and the Seven Great Spiritual Forms at its center, and all kinds of energy flowing and intertwining, giving a sense of harmony and perfection.

“The five elements combine to create wondrous methods.”

Li Yuan closed his eyes and sensed it.

Among the various great scriptures in Dongxuan Mountain, the Five Great Scriptures are quite mysterious. A single copy may be inferior to Yu Zhenhuan's Scripture of the Formless and Intangible Immortal Sword, but studying both of them is no less impressive.

If one can cultivate all five elements, one will undoubtedly be among the most outstanding.

At this moment, although Li Yuan's fundamental cultivation method was only the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture, after the seven spiritual forms combined the five elements, it also faintly resembled the Five Great Scriptures.

"Om~"

As if summoned, the seven spiritual forms came from all directions and gathered in front of and behind Li Yuan. The five-colored light became increasingly intense, enveloping the seven true forms.

Then, various divine patterns flowed within the five-colored light, transforming into divine restrictions and wondrous sights, such as flowing black water, shooting sword energy, a roc spreading its wings, or a spirit tortoise taking a rest...

It was precisely the various magical arts he practiced.

"Once all five elements are combined, all spells that fall under the five elements will be enhanced, whether it's the speed of cultivation or the power after activation..."

"The largest increase was in Qingdi Yan, which almost doubled. Next were water-based spells like Xuan Gang Heavy Water and Xuan You Protective Shield, which increased by 20-30%. As for Divine Fire Shield, it only increased by 10-20%..."

"This is because of the lack of corresponding fundamental laws and magical power..."

In a short while, Li Yuan had already grasped the benefits of gathering all five elements.

"If one can possess both the power of the Five Elements, the amplification will be even greater. If one can possess both the Five Great Scriptures and the corresponding power of the Five Emperors, the power of all kinds of spells will likely increase dramatically!"

With a slight thought, Li Yuan exited the Niwan Divine Realm, opened the Tongshi Orb, and went to the Weitian Martial Arts Platform to find Huang Yuan to verify the changes in the power of the spell.

Before long, he left the battle arena, satisfied.

"The increase is huge!"

Inside the bamboo building, Li Yuan's eyes shone brightly.

With all five elements combined, the power of Qingdi Yan's divination and concealment technique increased dramatically. He could sense the spells cast by Huang Yuan before they even got close, making it much easier for him to retreat, dodge, and deal with them.

"The power unleashed by the twenty-first layer of magical restrictions is almost equivalent to that of the thirty-second layer, more than doubling the power!"

"Although the amplification of water-based spells is not as great, it is still equivalent to adding five layers of spell restrictions, especially the Xuan Gang Heavy Water, which is equivalent to forty-one layers of spell restrictions!"

Li Yuan was satisfied.

The amplification of the power of various spells, especially water-based spells, greatly enhanced his abilities. In this battle, even with all nine of Kizaru's spiritual forms unleashed, he managed to withstand three hundred moves!
"It's time to start cultivating other magical abilities as well."

Li Yuan adjusted his cultivation plan.

Each True Form Diagram corresponds to a type of magical power, but a cultivator's energy is limited, so he had no intention of cultivating the 'White Tiger Magic Power' or 'Fire Phoenix Magic Power' before.

But for now, let's not talk about anything else.

"The White Tiger, the Fire Phoenix, and the Xuanhuang Qilin—these three magical powers must be cultivated simultaneously!"

Having made up his mind, Li Yuan tried cultivating magic again and found that the speed also increased greatly, with the increase being almost the same as the power of the magic.

"As expected of the top-tier scripture of Dongxuan Mountain!"

After various attempts, Li Yuan was in a great mood, and his desire to cultivate the Five Extremes Scripture and even the Primordial Five Extremes Dao became stronger.

……

"call!"

"Suck!"

On the Qi gathering platform, Li Yuan multitasked, practicing his internal energy cultivation and demonic cultivation simultaneously. When he finished, he had reaped a mountain of demonic remains.

"The efficiency of refining techniques has also increased significantly!"

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to return to the small building when he saw a flash of nine-colored light in the distance, and the Mirage Baby returned from its field trip.

"Owner!"

From afar, the little white gourd was already making its own noise.

"Good work."

With a flick of his finger, Li Yuan bestowed a wisp of magical power upon the white gourd. He couldn't help but pat the little female dragon's bun. After practicing magic, she had grown a bit, but she still looked to be only five or six years old.

"You're not going to practice magic again, are you?"

Seeing Li Yuan's kind smile, the mirage baby even forgot to resist being patted on the head, and a bad feeling tugged at its heart.

"Yes, twenty spells, and three types of magic power."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Two, twenty-three gates?"

The infant clam felt a sudden darkness before its eyes and almost fainted.

"This time it's not about picking, it's about buying."

Seeing her like this, Li Yuan was both amused and exasperated, reflecting on whether he had been too harsh on his employees.

"purchase?"

The mirage baby's eyes lit up immediately: "Can I leave?"

"...I'm not going to imprison you."

Li Yuan was speechless. He reached out and handed her a brand-new knowledge ball, which he had bought on a whim when he went to Fengshen City: "It's a gift for you."

"General Knowledge Ball!"

The clam baby let out a sharp cry, and the clam baby was held in its arms like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. Its nose tingled, and tears streamed down its face.

What a pity!

She couldn't even remember what the Taixu Divine Realm looked like anymore.

Seeing her teary-eyed appearance, Li Yuan didn't say much. He simply called Li Yi to take her away and said, "You should rest for a few days and contact your clansmen. After that, I will send you to the Domain Gate District."

Although he intended to cultivate the Five Elements magic, Master Li was a compassionate person and did not rush to have the little dragon purchase divine runes or the spiritual materials needed to refine the White Bone Demon Mountain.

But the next morning, after finishing his daily hundred battles, when he got up to practice his magic at the Qi Gathering Platform, the Mirage Baby was already waiting with the white gourd in its arms.

"What's this?" Li Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"I, I don't dare..."

The baby clam lowered its head, its voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

After receiving the knowledge ball yesterday, she wanted to contact her clansmen immediately, but she didn't dare, fearing that she would receive some bad news.

"Then take it slow, or I'll go back with you sometime."

Li Yuan wasn't good at comforting people, but he was quite good at changing the subject. He coughed lightly and handed her the shopping list.

Twenty spells, as well as the divine runes required for the power of the White Tiger, Fire Phoenix, and Xuanhuang Qilin, and a total of over a thousand divine runes that he stuffed in to confuse the audience.

Of course, these are all ordinary divine runes.

The mirage baby quickly memorized it, then, carrying the white gourd and the white skeletal demon bracelet, followed Li Yuan to the Domain Gate area.

……

"Bang~"

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan killed a second-realm demon with Xuan Gang Heavy Water. He slowly withdrew his power, ending his cultivation practice for the day.

"It's still inconvenient without Taoist soldiers."

Glancing at the somewhat ashamed little black gourd, Li Yuan raised his hand and put the pile of demon remains into his Niwan Palace, feeling even more strongly that he should refine the White Bone Demon Mountain as soon as possible.

For cultivators, Dao weapons are second only to magic treasures in importance, and sometimes even more important than magic treasures.

For example, exploring hidden realms, cultivating magic, and eventually refining the Dharma Realm, undergoing the Dao Tribulation, or even guarding the Dharma Heaven.

"With the method of refining demons, the skeletal demon soldiers are the best choice for me."

Li Yuan was making plans in his mind.

Dongxuan Mountain has thousands of types of Dao soldiers, the most elite of which are naturally the 'Mysterious Extreme Dao Soldier', 'Myriad Transformations Dao Soldier', and 'All Actions of Calamity Soldier', while the White Bone Demon can only be considered second-tier.

And this was mostly thanks to that White Bone Daoist.

But for him, it is indeed a good fit.

"As for other Dao weapons, they are not needed for the time being. The demonic shadows refined by the Shadow Demon Body can also be considered a kind of Dao weapon."

Li Yuan's thoughts raced as he sensed the Shadow Demon's form.

……

"Crack!"

Crimson lightning ripped through the sky, blasting apart vast swathes of black mist. Countless demonic figures were reduced to dust, and swathes of black cloud soldiers exploded into black smoke.

In the mysterious land of the Cloud Demon, Li Yuan stood atop the nine-story Cloud Tower.

Above, dark clouds gathered, with hundreds of crimson lightning bolts moving like dragons. In the very center of the thunderclouds, protected by the crimson lightning, lay a massive pool of lightning.

The Thunder Pool appeared and disappeared intermittently, with lightning flowing like water within it. Occasionally, a wisp of lightning would leak out and transform into hundreds or thousands of blood-red lightning dragons, exuding a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble at the sight of it.

"Whoo~"

In just a few moments, the Thunder Pool shot through the air, and wherever it passed, strange lands either fell to the ground or disappeared into the shadows.

"I can't swallow it."

Li Yuan felt quite sorry.

It was a ruined Five Realms Demon Land, the core battlefield of the defeated. Even though it was reduced to just a Thunder Pool, its power was still terrifying.

Thousands of thunder dragons followed, as if the ancient Thunder Emperor were on a journey.

"Without absorbing a single bite of the Fifth Realm of Bizarre Lands, one is simply not qualified to enter the core battlefield..."

One after another, the shadowy figures followed the thundercloud. Li Yuan had been eyeing this thunder pool for months. Although he couldn't take it now, who knew what the future held.

"We need to find a way to lure a few treacherous locations to surround and destroy that minefield..."

As he pondered this, Li Yuan looked behind him. Amidst the swirling black mist, there were hundreds and thousands of Black Cloud Dao Soldiers from the Three Realms, with even more demonic shadows lurking in the shadows, guarding the Shadow Demon Body.

"Fellow……"

Noticing Li Yuan's gaze, Duan Tianyi forced an awkward smile in a corner of the deck. Beside him was Wang Xuandao, who was healing his injuries and had already grown back his lower body.

'This demonic cultivator is becoming increasingly terrifying…'

As Wang Xuandao healed his wounds, he couldn't help but tremble, feeling a deep chill.

His divine palace had already reached the sixth level, and he was considered a somewhat famous explorer of the uncharted territories, having explored many strange places. But when he recalled what he had seen and heard in the past few months, he felt only a chill run down his spine.

This demonic cultivator was also a third-realm cultivator, but his methods were extremely strange. In six months, he devoured twenty or thirty strange lands of the second realm or above.

Wherever it passed, whether it was a strange beast or a strange soldier, it was all devoured, or turned into its cultivation resources, or turned into a wisp of shadow and disappeared into the dark clouds.

“Fellow Daoist, this thunder pool is called the ‘Mysterious Yin Thunder Pool.’ It should have been left behind by a fifth-realm cultivator who practiced the ‘Mysterious Yin Thunder Scripture’ after his passing…”

Duan Tianyi answered cautiously.

"Ah."

Li Yuan gave a casual reply.

He picked up these two people on his way to conquer the strange land. They were both seasoned explorers with considerable wealth. They offered him 100 million coins to buy their lives, which he naturally accepted.

Of the two, Wang Xuandao was of higher cultivation level and excelled in combat, while the fat Taoist was skilled in exploring mysterious places and was very knowledgeable about many strange locations.

Of course, according to the fat Taoist priest, he was a 'shepherd'.

Among the many living stars, there are those who shepherd the people and support their livelihoods. The holy lands and sects in the various realms of the heavens have many special 'shepherds'.

Many sects of the Heavenly Dao even left a special path for 'shepherds' to advance to the True Lineage, as long as they have trillions of shepherds, they can advance to the True Lineage.

"The Profound Yin Thunder Pool is most averse to yang energy and blood. Fellow Daoist, you can seek out such a strange place. With just a little provocation, the two sides will surely fight..."

Duan Tianyi carefully considered the thoughts of the 'demonic cultivator' before him and offered his advice.

Sure enough, the demonic cultivator was attracted and looked over:
Do you know where to find such a strange place?

"I……"

Duan Tianyi's chubby face stiffened slightly, but he could only grit his teeth and agree. He glanced reluctantly at Wang Xuandao, who was healing with his eyes closed, and left the Cloud Demon Realm under the 'protection' of a group of demonic shadows.

"call!"

Li Yuan sat down cross-legged and began to analyze the gains from the Shadow Demon Body.

……

[Your challenge to 'Sixth-Tier Fighter Eight Thousand Miles' has not received a response. You can continue to invite him, or challenge other fighters...]

"boom!"

Chao Xuanlong nearly crushed the knowledge ball. His face was ashen, and he could barely contain his anger.

One month!

He waited for nearly a month, during which time the 80,000 li fought a hundred battles every day, accumulating nearly seven thousand victories, but the li did not pay any attention to him.

"He's afraid of me!"

Suppressing his anger, Chao Xuanlong's expression was cold and stern. He knew that Ba Wanli must be afraid that he would end his winning streak, which was why he refused to challenge him.

"But that's not up to you!"

Chao Xuanlong sneered and stopped challenging him. Instead, he turned into a stream of light and entered the battle arena!
Eight years after the Battle Ranking was launched, there are not many fifth and sixth-tier Battle Warriors still battling. As long as you are patient, you will surely encounter that Eight Thousand Miles.

"Random battles, you can't refuse!"

……

"Om~"

Under the mystical vine tree, Li Yuan sat cross-legged.

Various wondrous sights appeared and disappeared in the divine realm, and when he had a thought, they transformed into divine runes that gathered on Xuan Teng Island, swirling around each other and gradually merging.

The Five Extremes Temple significantly amplified the power of the Five Elements. In just over ten days, he had condensed a White Tiger power and a Fire Phoenix power respectively.

What was being refined at this moment was the magical power of the Xuanhuang Qilin.

"boom!"

In a flash, accompanied by the roar of the divine realm, a stream of dark yellow magic power slowly rose and then entered the body of the eagerly awaiting Xuanhuang Qilin.

"Roar!"

The Qilin shook its body and let out a deafening roar.

Immediately, the Fire Phoenix swooped down from the clouds, circling around Li Yuan together with the Golden-Winged Roc that leaped from the Mystic Vine Tree, while the White Tiger under the tree also raised its head.

The myrtle tree trembled slightly and its branches and leaves drooped down.

"Om~"

Intense rays of light rose up, converging and intertwining around Li Yuan, transforming into a magnificent five-colored radiance that shot into the sky.

At the same time, Li Yuan sensed the rhythm of the Five Extremes Temple. Just as he expected, after gathering the power of the five elements, the Five Extremes Temple's amplification of the power of the five elements increased again.

"Chi~"

With a flick of his finger, Li Yuan unleashed a jet of dark water that shot through the air like a top-grade flying sword, splitting the vast sky in two in an instant.

In a fraction of a second, it split into hundreds and thousands more, surging and churning across the boundless ocean, leaving behind fine, intricate traces of air that permeate the sky.

"laugh!"

Thousands of water droplets intertwine and flow, sometimes transforming into swords, sometimes into dragons, moving silently yet with extraordinary sharpness.

With a flick of his finger, Li Yuan unleashed a confluence of magical powers, which transformed into Kunpeng or White Tiger, manifesting various spells, all of which were annihilated by the overwhelming Xuan Gang Heavy Water.

"laugh!"

In the next instant, thousands of water droplets suddenly flowed backward, like thousands of flying swords shooting towards them, but then silently dissipated, transforming into a water dragon that swirled around Li Yuan's finger in his palm.

"Power doubled!"

Li Yuan practiced various spells, creating all sorts of wondrous scenes on the vast ocean. He only stopped after a long time, feeling extremely satisfied.

The combined magical power of the White Tiger, Fire Phoenix, and Xuanhuang Qilin is only three, which is insignificant compared to the magical power of the Kunpeng and the Azure Emperor. However, the combined power of the five elements greatly enhances his abilities.

"His level 46 Xuan Gang Heavy Water technique isn't too far off from Senior Brother Huang Yuan's!"

Inside the bamboo building, Li Yuan lightly flicked his fingers, swallowed a spirit pill, then opened the Communicative Knowledge Orb and entered the Battle Hall.

He had seen Chao Xuanlong's challenge, of course, but he didn't respond because he was waiting to gather enough of the five elements' power.

"To be on the safe side, it is also necessary to have one or two military talismans."

Beneath the starry curtain formed by the Battle Hall, Li Yuan's thoughts shifted slightly. Although he was still unsure whether he would need it, he still changed the control combination.

Centered on the combined Heavenly Boat and the fourth and fifth realm Xuan Teng Snake Sheath, it is equipped with spiritual treasures and mysterious weapons such as the 'Mysterious Sensing Gourd', 'Azure Nether Thunder Dragon', and 'Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram'.

These abilities are mostly related to innate talent and fundamental cultivation level; even if activated, they will not attract the attention of the Taixu Divine Realm.

"call!"

After making sufficient preparations, Li Yuan discovered that Chao Xuanlong was actually in the Battle Hall.

"They can't wait any longer?"

Li Yuan chuckled, first informing Feng Xiuqi before agreeing to Chao Xuanlong's challenge, and then quietly waiting for him to finish the random battle.

"Om~"

Before long, a ray of starlight rose from below, enveloping Li Yuan and disappearing into the battle arena.
