Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

The Five Elements are perfectly balanced! Life is endless and the cycle never ceases!

Fang Qing cultivated the highest realm of the "Great Brahma Punishment Five Elements Qi Gong" to its extreme in a short period of time, reaching the "Eighty-One Reincarnations" perfection realm, which is rarely achieved in the history of the Brahma Immortal Realm.

Within the Brahma Immortal Realm, or rather within the entire Brahma Party system, the achievement of cultivating the "Great Brahma Heavenly Punishment Five Elements Qi Gong" holds a clear symbolic significance.

Throughout history, those who have cultivated two or three of these attributes simultaneously and reached a high level are already considered remarkable geniuses.

Those who can successfully cultivate more than three types and integrate them to a certain level are qualified to participate in the competition for Brahma.

Fang Qing's ability to cultivate all five elements to perfection and reach the ultimate perfection of "eighty-one cycles" before even entering the legendary mythical realm is unprecedented and has shattered the understanding of the Brahma Immortal Realm!

This achievement is not simply a matter of surpassing all previous Brahma disciples; it even faintly touches upon a realm that only the legendary "Brahma Ancestor" could possibly reach—the ultimate control over the fundamental creative power of the Five Elements!
If Fang Qing's identity and the extraordinary phenomenon of perfecting the Five Elements were exposed at this moment, it would surely trigger a super earthquake in the core layer of the entire Brahma Immortal Realm. He would immediately attract the attention of the highest level of the Brahma Party, and might even alarm those old relics who have been in seclusion for many years and have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs.

His status will instantly surpass that of ordinary Brahma Kings, and he will be directly regarded as a candidate for the future "Brahma Lord", and even regarded by some beings as the successor of the "Brahma Ancestor".

Unfortunately, this identity of "Fan Jing" was a disguise by Fang Qing.

He cannot, and does not want to, expose himself in such a high-profile manner at this time.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Before fully understanding the depths of the Brahma Immortal Realm, especially the attitudes of those old monsters in the Mythical Realm, it would be unwise to prematurely place oneself in the eye of the storm.

What he needs is to observe and accumulate knowledge in secret, rather than to be constrained and schemed under the spotlight.

Therefore, at the moment the Five Elements Divine Wheel reached its perfect state, Fang Qing used supreme means to forcefully suppress the soaring Five Elements Perfection Daoist charm and strange phenomena.

Outsiders only sensed that Brahma's energy fluctuations were unusually active for a while, and then returned to calm. They simply assumed that his cultivation had made some progress and it did not cause much of a stir.

Even so, Fang Qing's own gains were earth-shattering.

The perfection of the Five Elements brings not only a geometric increase in the power of the "Great Brahma Punishment Five Elements Qi Gong", but also a profound understanding and control of the fundamental laws governing the material world.

Metal is sharp and strong, wood is vibrant and full of life, water is both soft and hard, fire is both extinguishing and creating, and earth is heavy and supportive...

The true meaning of the five fundamental laws flowed and merged in his heart, mutually confirming his Great Dao.

His inner world also underwent significant changes as a result.

The five elements in the universe operate and evolve according to the mysterious laws of mutual generation and restraint, making the structure of the inner world more stable, the material cycle more efficient, and even spontaneously generating some innate spiritual objects with the attributes of the five elements.

More importantly, this foundation of perfect harmony of the five elements greatly propelled his own cultivation level to new heights.

He was already standing at the peak of the Shattered Dao Realm, separated from the ethereal "Mythical Realm" by only one barrier.

At this moment, the profound insights into the Great Dao and the feedback of power brought about by the perfection of the Five Elements are like an endless torrent, continuously impacting that barrier.

He could clearly feel that his understanding of the "Tao" was deepening, and that mythological barrier was becoming... loose!
"The mythical realm is not far away."

Fang Qing estimated that as long as he accumulated experience for a period of time, he would be extremely confident that he could break through the shackles and step into the supreme realm that countless immortal emperors dreamed of.

The rapid increase in strength brings not only personal power, but also an attraction and deterrent force originating from the level of life and the origin of the Great Dao.

Especially in an environment like the Brahma Immortal Realm, where geniuses gather and the strong are respected, this attraction and deterrent power will be amplified.

As Fang Qing revealed a profound understanding of the Five Elements Law, some truly insightful geniuses also began to pay attention to him.

On this day, Fang Qing was browsing through some books about strange tales and ancient legends from all the heavens and myriad worlds in a side hall of the "Ten Thousand Laws Sutra Pavilion" under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in simple white clothes, with an ethereal and fairy-like temperament and a faint golden lotus mark between her eyebrows, walked gracefully to the table where he was.

"Brother Fanjing, what a refined taste you have."

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain stream, yet it carried a sense of calm and insightful understanding of the world.

Fang Qing looked up and recognized the woman.

Fan Rusi, a renowned genius among the younger generation of the Fan Party, possesses an incomparably powerful physique, the "Enlightened One".

Legend has it that she was born with a natural affinity for the Dao, possessing a comprehension speed far exceeding that of ordinary people for any cultivation technique or supernatural power. She is especially skilled in deduction and enlightenment, having already entered the Shattered Dao realm at a young age. Moreover, she has a solid foundation and boundless potential, making her one of the strongest contenders for the title of "Brahma King." There are even rumors that she has caught the attention of a certain Brahma Elder who is in seclusion.

"So it's Junior Sister Ru Si."

Fang Qing put down the jade slip, smiled slightly, his attitude neither warm nor cold, "I was just casually flipping through it to broaden my horizons. Did Junior Sister need something from me?"

Fan Rusi's bright eyes, which seemed to see through people's hearts, carefully examined Fang Qing, a hint of surprise and inquiry flashing in them.

Her cultivation method was special, and her spiritual senses were extremely sharp. She could vaguely sense that the seemingly unremarkable senior brother Fan Jing was shrouded in an indescribable mist, his aura as deep as the sea, and there was a strange Daoist charm that made her own "enlightened" constitution feel close to him and subtly oppressed.

"Nothing, I just happened to be passing by and saw you here, so I came to say hello."

Fan Rusi gently shook her head, then changed the subject, "Senior Brother's aura has become increasingly profound and his Daoist charm more restrained lately, so his cultivation must have improved again. May I be so bold as to suggest that Senior Brother seems to have some unique insights into the Dao of the Five Elements?" Fang Qing's heart stirred slightly, knowing that this woman was indeed extraordinary, but he remained expressionless: "I have gained some insights, but I would not call them unique. The Five Elements are the foundation of all things, so it is always good to put in more effort."

Fan Rusi gave him a deep look, then suddenly said, “Senior brother, you are too modest. I am currently trying to comprehend an ancient incomplete array related to the five elements’ mutual generation and restraint, but I am encountering many obstacles. I wonder if you could spare some time to give me some guidance?”

This is already a disguised form of asking for advice and testing the waters.

Fang Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "We were just about to discuss this together."

The two of them, in a corner of this side hall, communicated through telepathy, exchanging ideas about the principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint.

Fang Qing's understanding of the essence of the Five Elements has long transcended the scope of "The Great Brahma Punishment of the Five Elements Qi Gong" and reached a level that directly points to the origin.

Often, just a few words are enough to enlighten Fan Rusi, and her eyes light up with wonder.

One exchange was very beneficial to Fan Rusi, and her attitude towards Fang Qing changed from initial polite inquiry to heartfelt admiration and curiosity.

She had a vague feeling that this "Fanjing" fellow disciple's background was probably far beyond everyone's imagination.

Since then, Fan Rusi has often approached Fang Qing under the guise of discussing Taoist principles.

Fang Qing's unfathomable insights and occasional grand vision not only deeply attracted Fan Rusi, but also gradually attracted several other equally proud individuals who were all unparalleled geniuses in their respective fields.

One is Fan Wenchang, known as "Skywalker". He is naturally compatible with the laws of space, his speed is unparalleled in his generation, and he also possesses the rare "Sky-Breaking Divine Body". He is powerful in battle and has an arrogant personality. He doesn't take ordinary Fan disciples seriously at all.

However, after exchanging ideas and discussing Dao with Fang Qing, this unruly Skywalker was actually convinced by Fang Qing and showed a tendency to follow the lead of his senior brother "Fan Jing".

The other is Fan Jiufeng, known as "The Sharp One," who possesses the rare "Innate Geng Metal Sword Body," with extremely terrifying offensive power. He is single-mindedly pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship and killing.

He disdained communicating with others, but during a discussion, Fang Qing casually pointed out a minor flaw in his technique regarding the transformation of metal into water, and offered a more ingenious solution, which suddenly cleared up his bottleneck in swordsmanship.

From then on, Fan Jiufeng's gaze toward Fang Qing was filled with respect.

Several others, such as "Youmingzi" who is skilled in soul incantations and "Yaoputi" who is proficient in alchemy, have gradually gathered around "Fanjing" because of Fang Qing's profound understanding of the laws of the soul, or because his grasp of the transformation of medicinal properties and the timing of the monarch, minister, assistant and guide is far superior to theirs.

These geniuses, any one of them, would be the center of attention and have a bright future if placed in the outside world; they are extremely ambitious.

It's incredible that they can simultaneously identify with or even follow one person!

While Fang Qing's deliberate guidance in showcasing only a fraction of his strength was certainly a factor, the more crucial reason was his terrifying foundation in the Great Dao, far exceeding his current level, and his personal charisma. This created an invisible "momentum" that made these geniuses instinctively feel that following him might allow them to see a broader landscape of the Great Dao.

Fang Qing was delighted to see it succeed.

He needs to understand the Brahma Immortal Realm and access more core information and resources. These geniuses and the forces that may be involved behind them are excellent bridges and sources of information.

He discussed the Dao with them, answered their questions, and learned from them about many unique cultivation systems and secrets of the Brahma Immortal Realm, as well as detailed information about other strange immortal realms and races in the myriad worlds, which greatly enriched his knowledge base.

More importantly, through the channels of Fan Rusi, Fan Tianxing, and others, as well as his own status as an "envoy" and the gifts he received after occasionally giving guidance to others, Fang Qing was able to access more fragments, rare copies, and even complete inheritances of divine-level qigong techniques collected by the Fanxian Realm or secretly passed down by these genius families.

He absorbed and analyzed this knowledge with great eagerness.

Besides the "Great Brahma Punishment Five Elements Qi Gong", he successively obtained no fewer than ten other unique divine-level qi gong techniques, including the "Eight Heavenly Dragons Protective Mantra", "Void Shadowless Escape", "Nine Netherworld Fire Soul Forging Technique", "Innate Wood Longevity Technique", and "Great Star Summoning Technique".

Although most of them are not the most essential versions, the profound truths and techniques for applying the laws contained within them are priceless treasures to him.

He frantically absorbed the essence of these divine-level qigong techniques and integrated it into his own system.

His knowledge grew increasingly terrifying, and his understanding of all the myriad paths and laws of the heavens became more and more comprehensive and profound.

This accumulation, in turn, further solidified his foundation and accelerated his breakthrough against the barrier of the mythical realm.

Fang Qing felt like a sponge that had been dry for too long, frantically absorbing the nutrients from the ocean of knowledge in the Brahma Immortal Realm.

His realm, strength, and foundation are all steadily and terrifyingly advancing towards that ultimate goal—the Mythical Realm.

Meanwhile, within a small circle of the younger generation in the Brahma Immortal Realm, the reputation of "Brother Fanjing" began to spread quietly in a low-key yet solid manner.

Many geniuses know that the Brahma Messenger is a truly unfathomable "master," whose Taoist cultivation and insight are truly awe-inspiring.

Of course, all of this was under Fang Qing's deliberate control and did not attract much attention from the true high-ranking members of the Vatican Party.

He continued his daily work as a messenger of the Brahma Pure Land, while secretly weaving his own network of relationships, absorbing the necessary nourishment, and waiting for... the moment when he would break free from his cocoon and soar into the sky.

On that very day, Fang Qing received some news.

In the fifth-tier immortal realm, the Hongli Celestial Realm, there are one thousand ancient imperial serpent talismans.

Fang Qing knew he had no choice but to go. (End of Chapter)
