Chapter 179 Rotation of Five Elements
Human power is limited, but the universe is infinite.

If you want to open the bridge between heaven and earth, you have to use the most domineering force to break through.

But human power is limited, how can an ant overturn the world?

There are fifty avenues, four or nine in the sky, and one of them escapes.

The sect's secret method records: If a fellow practitioner has a technique with mutually beneficial properties and completely breaks through it to the first level of perfection, he can try to forcibly transform the power of one technique into another mutually beneficial technique.

If the transformation can be successful, then the mutual generation technique can use the power that surges in that instant to open the bridge between heaven and earth, break the boundary membrane, lead the essence of heaven and earth into the body, and finally successfully ascend.

Simply put, it means practicing two mutually beneficial techniques at the same time, such as gold and water, water and wood, wood and fire, fire and earth, and earth and gold.

When the true qi cultivated by the two methods have reached the state of perfection, one of them is directly sacrificed and transformed into the other. For example, the gold-attributed true qi is transformed into water-attributed true qi, and the water-attributed true qi is used to force a breakthrough at the moment of sudden increase, opening up the bridge between heaven and earth, breaking the boundary membrane, and guiding the essence of heaven and earth into the body.

It sounds very simple, but you have to know that the human body has only one meridian system. How can you cultivate two kinds of true qi?

Before Zhong Lin obtained the Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow, he only dared to practice the gold-attributed "Flying Spirit Sword Sutra". Otherwise, there would be a conflict in attributes. At the very least, his true energy would riot and his meridians would be severed. At the worst, he would die on the spot.

Zhong Lin touched his bar and thought to himself, "So, the principle of the Barrier Breaking Pill should be similar. It uses the power of the pill to strengthen the internal Qi, and then forcibly breaks the bridge between heaven and earth."

"For others, it's naturally impossible to cultivate two types of Qi at the same time, but for me, it's easily attainable. The Five Elements Primordial Qi is a fusion of five heavenly techniques. The Qi of each type can be converted into each other, and the five elements rotate. I think I can give it a try."

"However, now we can try to use this twin secret method to see if we can practice the 'Withered Wood Divine Art'."

A burning look flashed across Zhong Lin's eyes.

"Although the Five Elements Primordial Qi Gong is named after the Five Elements, it's missing the element 'wood'. I originally wanted to collect rare treasures with wood attributes and then try to integrate the Dead Wood Divine Art into it."

"Now that I have the Twin Secret Method, I can give it a try and see if I can transform all the Qi in my body into wood-attributed Qi through water-to-wood, and then practice the Dead Wood Divine Art."

Action is worse than thought. Zhong Lin did not hesitate at all and sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky.

In an instant, the true energy in his body began to surge. With the support of the powerful true energy, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose suddenly became highly sensitive.

The inky true energy circulated along the trajectory of "Shui Jing Zhu". In just a few breaths, the true energy in the body became vaster, and it circulated like a gurgling stream, flowing endlessly, filled with a feeling of extreme yin and softness.

"The five elements rotate, thousands of rivers and mountains, dead trees come back to life, spring breeze turns to rain, the wood spirits awaken, turn for me!"

Zhong Lin roared angrily, and the next moment, the true energy in his body actually flowed backwards through his meridians, and waves of severe pain came from his meridians. The pain seemed to come from the depths of his soul, making people feel like they couldn't help but howl to the sky.

But the next moment, a green true energy appeared out of thin air in the meridians. This true energy was filled with endless life force, giving a sense of endless life.

Zhong Lin was ecstatic and did not dare to hesitate. He endured the pain in his meridians and used his mind to guide the wood-attributed true qi to circulate along the route of the "Dead Wood Divine Art".

Time passed slowly, and the water-attributed true energy was transformed into the wood-attributed one bit by bit, and the "Dead Wood Magic Art" was also pushed to perfection bit by bit under this huge true energy.

The wood-attributed true energy flowed throughout the body, and wherever it passed, it felt like it was filled with endless vitality, nourishing various internal organs and body fascia. The injuries caused by the previous battle with Elder Men Qing'an healed and repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye under the flow of this true energy, and it was fully recovered in just a few moments.

Suddenly, Zhong Lin felt his body stiffen, as if turning into wood. His skin, in particular, became dry and withered, like the bark of a century-old tree. "Such a powerful wood-attributed Qi."

Zhong Lin's heart trembled, and he did not dare to hesitate. He quickly practiced the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong" and integrated the true energy condensed by the "Dead Wood Magic Art" into it.

Nothing unexpected happened, and he integrated the "Dry Wood Magic Art" into the "Five Elements Hunyuan Art" as easily as if it were a natural process.

Zhong Lin had already maxed out the "Five Elements Primordial Power" with the help of the system, so facing the "Dead Wood Magic Power" was naturally easy for him to master without any surprises.

At this point, the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong" is truly worthy of its name, with all five elements complete. The originally inky true energy has also turned into a chaotic color and is misty.

Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, looked at his skin which had become delicate and plump again, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Being strong is a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing. He doesn't want to become an old man with chicken skin and white hair, even though his skin like dry bark has extremely strong defense.

It's not hard to find defensive techniques and martial arts. They can be easily mastered with the help of the powerful system. Why would you want to practice techniques with such great side effects?

He took out a pill and swallowed it, then practiced the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong" to restore his true energy.

The transformation of water into wood is not as simple as just transforming into each other. Before being integrated into the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong", the transformation between the two would incur great losses.

After half an hour, Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly subsided. This was the outward manifestation of the perfection of his true energy. It was only because his body had reached its limit and could not be increased any further, so the true energy leaked out.

"It's time to start."

Zhong Lin's face was solemn, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

As the Five Elements Primordial Qi Gong was activated, the originally gray Qi suddenly turned into golden light, filled with a fierce killing intent.

"Metal generates water, the energy of Shaoyin, which moistens dryness and flows fluids. Even water can dissolve metal, so mountains and rocks are moistened."

The true Qi in the body turned, water light filled the air, shimmering, and the rich water-attributed true Qi took on a dark black color, which was a manifestation of the extreme strength of the true Qi.

"Water gives birth to wood. Because water moistens it, it can grow. Therefore, water gives birth to wood."

The true Qi circulated again, and the green true Qi flowed through, and the rich breath of life filled the whole body.

"Wood gives birth to fire. Wood is warm in nature, and fire is hidden within it, drilling and burning out. Therefore, wood gives birth to fire."

"Fire creates earth. Fire is hot, so it can burn wood. Wood burns and turns to ashes, which are earth. Therefore, fire creates earth."

"Earth gives birth to gold. Gold lives in rocks and leans against mountains. It grows from moisture. Earth gathers to form mountains, and mountains must grow rocks. Therefore, earth gives birth to gold."

The true Qi in Zhong Lin's body was constantly transforming, and in the end it was divided into five. The five attributes of true Qi flowed in his body, and not only did they not conflict with each other, but they formed a strange balance.
