You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 407 The Origin of All Things
The Five-Colored Immortal Light, as the innate divine power born from the awakening of the Five Elements Immortal Body, almost perfectly demonstrates the power of the Five Elements Immortal Body.

First of all, the Five-Colored Immortal Light, as Qi Ping's innate divine power attack, possesses extremely strong spiritual energy impact and powerful destructive force. Combined with its extreme speed, it is enough to become a terrifying killing move.

The characteristics of "birth" and "death" elevate this divine power to a terrifying level.

The essence of annihilation is to decompose the target of an attack into nothingness!
For almost all living beings in the cultivation world, whether they are flesh-and-blood beings or special beings, almost all of them are within the scope of the Five Elements evolution. For example, the special attributes of wind and thunder are also derived attributes of the wood element.

Furthermore, almost all spiritual energy, physical flesh and blood, weapons and magical treasures, and even cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities are within the Five Elements!

Qi Ping has a deep understanding and insight into these things, especially.

In other words, when faced with these beings, Qi Ping only needs to unleash a Five-Colored Immortal Light to easily decompose them into nothingness!
Even if there is an opponent whose foundation is no less than Qi Ping's, as long as the opponent cannot escape the power of the five elements, their flesh, magic weapons, and supernatural powers can still be decomposed! Although the difficulty of decomposition will increase accordingly when facing high-level power, it is absolutely difficult to completely resist it, it's just a matter of time.

If the opponent doesn't have a supernatural power of the same level to resist, defeating Qi Ping will be extremely difficult.

"The Five-Colored Immortal Light [Annihilation]'s properties should also be quite useful in resisting the opponent's spells and supernatural abilities. As long as it can fundamentally destroy the opponent's spells and supernatural abilities, it can directly collapse this power. As a life-saving means, it is also a first-class existence."

In just a moment, Qi Ping thought of the wonderful uses of the five-colored immortal light.

All the offensive spells and supernatural powers he had ever seen seemed to pale in comparison to this five-colored celestial light.
Especially in attack, this decomposition characteristic can be used on any high-level power. Compared to brute force and breakthroughs, the Five-Colored Immortal Light can destroy weaknesses and nature much more easily.

"However, compared to the [Life] characteristic, [Destruction] is still somewhat inferior."

Compared to the characteristic of annihilating all things into nothingness, Qi Ping still prefers the characteristic of [life]!
The former certainly possesses boundless potential in attack and destruction, and its power is beyond doubt, but the [Life] characteristic can generate far more wonderful applications!

The old saying goes, "Destruction is easy, construction is difficult," and this saying is very apt here.

Firstly, considering the characteristics of the supernatural power itself, it can be used to heal injuries and restore damaged items and people. In terms of its function, it is the opposite of the characteristics of [Annihilation]. However, Qi Ping saw a greater possibility in it:

From which all things arise!

This is the biggest confusion and problem on his path of cultivation, and it is also what he most wants to pursue!

In his view, he was no longer bound by any cultivation system. Whether it was Druidism or the path of immortal cultivation, it was ultimately just a manifestation of the power rules of this world.

The mysterious power of druids originates from the very essence of the universe, and the same is true for cultivating immortality; ultimately, both are applications of the nature of power.

Although he is far from reaching the end of these two paths, there are still all sorts of mysterious knowledge and power waiting for him to slowly comprehend, but this does not prevent him from making judgments about the power he has already comprehended and having his own understanding of it.

In Qi Ping's mind, those who only know how to follow the cultivation method without their own understanding and spirit of exploration are ultimately nothing more than puppets. Whether it is a simple mother-child cultivation method, a flaw in their foundation, or a mistake in their cultivation, any one of these problems is enough to bring about their destruction.

Of course, this is not because Qi Ping looks down on these people. Many of them have already achieved amazing results and can be called geniuses. Some of them can even be described as amazing. He cannot use his current advantages to belittle these people.

But while others can do it, Qi Ping cannot!
He is not like these people. The advantages he possesses and the foundation he has accumulated are also things that these people do not have. If, having come this far, he still cannot understand the essence of power and truly control the power he possesses, then he would be too pathetic and foolish.

Especially since Qi Ping had already sensed that this world was not so simple.

He knew about the trap of the mother-child cultivation method soon after he entered the world of cultivation. Once you cultivate the child cultivation method, no matter how powerful the cultivation method itself is, it will instantly lose its ability to resist under the control of the mother cultivation method, and may even become food and resources.

This is already quite common during the Foundation Building stage.

If this is the case for low-level cultivators, what about higher-level cultivators?

Qi Ping also had an answer to this. Among the many cultivation techniques and spells he had read and tried, the higher the level of the technique, the more numerous, sophisticated, and difficult to discover the pitfalls!

In other words, this is becoming increasingly dangerous, at least up to the Void Refinement stage. What about beyond that?

Because higher-level cultivation techniques are rarer, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a reference point to judge whether a technique has any hidden dangers. Obtaining a single technique is already an extraordinary fortune and opportunity; wanting to obtain a second technique is simply a pipe dream.

Without sufficient reference points and experience, it is simply impossible for someone at the Nascent Soul stage to discern the authenticity and safety of a Void Refining cultivation technique. Only someone like Qi Ping, who has researched and created numerous cultivation techniques using his own abilities, could possibly perceive the risks involved.

Because of the cultivation methods used, the records in the cultivation world alone contain numerous geniuses who are rare even once in a thousand years. All their efforts and cultivation have been turned into resources for others, and countless years of cultivation have become food for others.
Following this pattern, Qi Ping is very confident that it will continue in the same way as it goes up.

There might even be old monsters specifically targeting the cultivation system, and the entire immortal cultivation system might even be a scam. Qi Ping couldn't judge the truth of these things, but just thinking about them made him feel uneasy.

This is why he has continued to practice his self-created martial arts to this day; only in this way can he absolutely ensure that he will not become a lamb to be grazed by others.
However, Qi Ping now sees a new possibility in the characteristics of the [Five-Colored Immortal Light (Life)]!
Qi Ping originally thought that regardless of whether there were problems with the Druid system or the Immortal Cultivator system, he could rely on his current foundation to retain his true consciousness in various places, and practice by manually touching his spiritual roots in place, or cultivate the power of the Druid.

However, with the support of the Five-Colored Immortal Light, he can now fully utilize the essence of the rules of heaven and earth to create even more things.

For example, spiritual roots, special physical constitutions, and cultivation resources.
If he can achieve this, starting his cultivation journey from scratch will not be difficult. He could even forge a third path outside of the Druid and cultivator systems. This is why Qi Ping now supports the cultivation system of the Nine Realms of the Star Sea, all in the process of exploring his future path.

"Although the Five-Colored Immortal Light cannot magically restore a damaged physical body or soul, it can only restore it on its original state or restore the target that the Five-Colored Immortal Light has extinguished. Its actual effectiveness is quite limited."

"However, as long as I continue to destroy and repair flesh and blood, spiritual roots, or certain special constitutions, I can thoroughly understand their birth and destruction through countless studies. Once I fully understand their birth and destruction, it is not difficult to derive and create spiritual roots and constitutions using limited conditions."

"The difficulty of creating all things is too great, and the time required is too long. Now, all I need to do is research the path I want to take, a system and path that can guarantee absolute safety. On this system and path, I am the only Dao Ancestor." Thinking of this, Qi Ping's belief became even stronger.

He had originally planned to take this path, but now the appearance of the Five-Colored Immortal Light Divine Power has made his path much easier, and his research and experimentation abilities have been enhanced by several levels.

Of course, Qi Ping will not give up either the Druid path or the Immortal path. These two paths and systems are of great use and help to him now, and are his greatest hope for immortality. Moreover, the end of these two paths may not be a pit, but a truly broad road.

Qi Ping's choice to re-study a new system was merely a precaution. With his current strength, researching a Golden Core or Nascent Soul level power would not be difficult and would not delay his cultivation progress much. On the contrary, it could provide him with a final safety net.

Blindly pursuing cultivation can easily lead to unknowingly falling into traps. Qi Ping, who values ​​his life, would never be so reckless, especially since he still has a long lifespan and is not worried about running out of time.

Moreover, even if this third path is not ultimately used, it can still serve as a reference when the Druid and Immortal paths of cultivation reach their end in the future, allowing one to break through the true limits and the mystery of immortality.

Therefore, from any perspective, research on the third system is necessary.

"However, we don't have much clue how to proceed with the third system yet, so for now, we're focusing on analyzing the essence of my current two systems, starting with the lowest level of power, and using the five-colored immortal light to explore the most fundamental aspects of this system."

This is the source of Qi Ping's confidence that even with only a wisp of his true consciousness remaining, he could still use the simplest resources to mold himself into the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or even higher realms on the spot.

"The other thing is to see if the cultivators in the Nine Realms of the Star Sea can provide better ideas for my third system."

One person's strength is ultimately limited!

However, as long as the power of countless cultivators on the Star Sea Continent can be utilized, finding new paths will be much easier.

For example, the star system that Shennong Daoren followed is a good idea and can be used as one of the research directions.

Qi Ping felt that the more he studied, the more likely he was to find the path he wanted to take.
The birth of the Five Elements Immortal Body and the awakening of the Five-Colored Immortal Light, his innate divine power, directly caused Qi Ping's combat strength to increase dramatically.

This was the first time he had acquired a divine ability that could be considered his signature, and it fully demonstrated the concept of the Five Elements giving rise to all things, revealing his extraordinary potential.
To the best of Qi Ping's knowledge, he had never seen anyone awaken a similar supernatural power.

Furthermore, this supernatural power directly opened up Qi Ping's future research path.

Qi Ping's mood improved as a result.

After greeting the people who came to offer their blessings, Qi Ping returned to his cave to continue his cultivation.

"The demon race is facing an imminent crisis. Research into new paths can wait until this crisis is over before we formulate corresponding policies and rewards to encourage our subordinates to research and experiment. Right now, we should focus on improving our strength as quickly as possible and getting through this crisis."

After deciding on the next steps, Qi Ping devoted himself to cultivation.

Now that his cultivation talent has skyrocketed, his biggest goal is to take advantage of the Five Elements Immortal Body and the Seven-Colored Ancestral Vein as soon as possible to raise his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, so that his combat power can be enhanced to another level!
"Target: Godhood!"

As Qi Ping began to cultivate with all his might, the special spiritual energy of the Seven-Colored Ancestral Vein began to surge wildly into Qi Ping's body. Then, under the refinement of the cultivation technique and the Five Elements Immortal Body, it was quickly transformed into cultivation level.

This conversion speed completely exceeded Qi Ping's expectations!

What surprised Qi Ping even more was that the Five Elements Immortal Body was also extremely adaptable to the growth of cultivation!

Under normal circumstances, if one wants to cultivate from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, the body needs to spend a lot of time accumulating and transforming energy. Otherwise, the only consequence of blindly refining spiritual energy is that the foundation will collapse and the cultivation will be destroyed!
But now Qi Ping feels that this restriction has disappeared!

No matter how much spiritual power he refined into it, the Five Elements Immortal Body was like a bottomless pit, completely unable to reach its limit!

With the spiritual energy supply from the core of the sixth-order perfected seven-colored ancestral vein, Qi Ping's cultivation level is also skyrocketing in an instant!
"That's outrageous!" Qi Ping exclaimed.

He had never experienced such an exaggerated improvement.

"Is this the benefit of being highly talented?"

Qi Ping felt incredibly good right now.

In this way, his time to reach the Nascent Soul stage is probably coming soon, and he might even be able to do so before the arrival of the foreign races.

With the impending catastrophe looming, Qi Ping wouldn't let this opportunity to rapidly improve his abilities slip by.

Therefore, in order not to affect his cultivation and to ensure the normal hatching of the Azure Dragon Egg, Qi Ping immediately manipulated his Tree Man clone to appear here, and had the Tree Man clone guide the power of the Seven-Colored Ancestral Vein to merge into the Azure Dragon Egg.

It is unknown whether it is due to Qi Ping's Five Elements Immortal Body awakening, but the Azure Dragon Egg actually began to hatch shortly after Qi Ping's immortal body awakened. A crack appeared on the Azure Dragon Egg's shell, which was comparable to a sixth-order magic weapon!

The instant the crack appeared in the eggshell, a powerful aura belonging to a seventh-order divine beast surged into the sky!

This scene instantly stunned everyone who was still reeling from the shock.
