Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

"The Five Elements generate each other to form the compass; the Five Elements form the Earthly Branches; the Five Elements Yin and Yang form the Heavenly Stems; the Five Elements' symbolism transforms Heaven and Earth!"

Immediately, a Five Elements Dharma Image rose from the ground, emitting a power fluctuation no weaker than that of the Black Calamity Phoenix.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color. The impact of the battle was so great that even the Golden Flame God General could hardly withstand it. The Great Wind God Lord hurriedly manifested his Dharma form to protect the panicked clansmen.

"Wow!"

With both sides having similar combat strength, the black phoenix of calamity, formed solely from killing intent, could not shake Su Ji at all.

Furthermore, the Five Elements Dharma Image not only became more condensed, but it could also draw upon the power of the Five Elements of the earth. This battle lasted less than thirty breaths, and Su Ji was victorious.

For a moment, not only the ordinary Phoenix Clan members, but even the Golden Flame Divine General and the Wutong Divine Lord were astonished.

They knew that the Golden Toad God would win, but they did not expect that he would win so easily and directly, and that he would win solely through his own strength, rather than through external forces such as the branches of the Fusang God Tree, divine power, or magical treasures of immortals and gods.

Even the Great Wind God couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "The Golden Toad God truly lives up to his reputation; he actually possesses such combat power!"

During the great battle between the dragon and the phoenix, the world was filled with powerful beings who had reached the Dao realm. Everyone fought for Dao realm lands and resources, and the term "pathfinder" was practically nonexistent.

It was only after Brahma severed his mortal body to pave the way to sainthood that people learned about the Path of Pavement. But by then it was already the era of the Five Emperors. The Great Wind God learned about what happened afterward from the Wutong Immortal General and others.

However, Su Ji's plan caused the Great Wind God's expression to change slightly: "You still want to continue cultivating? You'd better think it over. After the first killing intent, there will be a second and even a third. Each time the black calamity phoenix is ​​condensed, it will be stronger... The fourth time will be something that even an invincible god general can't handle!"

Beyond the invincible divine generals are the divine lords with considerable strength; even three invincible immortal generals working together might not be their match.

However, Su Ji simply smiled and replied, "Great Wind God, rest assured, if I feel that I am not up to the task, I will stop trying to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth..."

He could achieve invincible immortal general combat power simply by incorporating the five elements' mutual generation, earthly formation, and yin and yang of the Way of Deviation. If he added the four symbols' rotation, the four symbols' heavenly formation, the yin and yang's clash and turbulence, he would be close to a god-king with considerable strength.

Moreover, while the Black Phoenix is ​​powerful, it lacks stamina. Without a fight, no one knows whether it can survive.

Thus, amidst the expectations of the immortals and gods, Su Ji cultivated continuously for three months, defeating three black calamity phoenixes in succession, and finally reached the end of October.

At this time, the Heavenly Court had already reached an agreement with the Phoenix Clan Gods. The second batch of immortals and gods who came here for exchanges had been there for several days and had conducted multiple resource transactions.

Seeing that Su Ji was about to face his fourth tribulation, even the Marquis of Beihe, who had found an opportunity to enter later, couldn't help but stay a few more days to see the outcome of this tribulation.

Lu Shengxian speculated, "This kind of calamity has surpassed the level of an invincible immortal general. And since the Golden Toad God Lord did not borrow any high-level immortal magic treasures from the Phoenix Clan, could it be that he plans to sacrifice his divine power to withstand it?"

Divine power is omnipotent; even if it cannot eliminate a calamity, it can be used as a protective measure to safeguard oneself.

Marquis Beihe shook his head and said, "The calamity has already affected the will of the blessed land. If the Golden Toad God uses his divine power to enhance its protective capabilities, it's no different from using gold to fill a river to cross a road. This time, he might use a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree..."

The branches of the Fusang Divine Tree are part of the body of the Heavenly Treasure Spiritual Root. As long as it has not revealed its extraordinary power before, it can unleash a power of the Divine Lord level.

Of course, once the branch of the Fusang Divine Tree is used, the will of the blessed land will suppress it, or even take it away directly.

Such a price is considerable. If the Golden Toad God really can't hold on any longer, the Marquis of Beihe wouldn't mind lending a hand once. He could gain a favor from the Golden Toad God, and at worst, he would never enter the Phoenix Clan's Grotto Heaven again.

"It has begun!" The Golden Flame General had known Su Ji for a long time. Seeing that Su Ji was already stronger than him, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. He had also witnessed every killing spree Su Ji had fought.

At this moment, the sun blazed in the sky, and countless black lines had formed a twisted black hole. As countless killing intents condensed and took shape, a calamity phoenix engulfed in black flames burst forth.

"The Black Flame Phoenix has already mastered a trace of innate divine fire power; even ordinary immortal lords of the Ghost Immortal path would probably be no match for it..."

The innate divine fire restrains evil spirits, and even ghosts and immortals dare not touch it in the slightest.

Su Ji's Five Elements Dharma Image, however, draws upon the power of the earth and the Yin-Yang Heavenly Stems, and can withstand it for a period of time. At the same time, Su Ji shouted in a low voice, "Five Elements and Four Symbols Divine Fiend Formation!"

At this time, Su Ji's Four Symbols [Root Method] was still missing the Four Symbols Yin and Yang, but it was enough to be used as part of the Gang Sha Grand Array, so that the Five Elements Dharma Symbols could receive considerable blessings.

Compared to the previous Five Elements Divine Array, Su Ji also absorbed the profound mysteries of the Brahma Emperor's Dragon Elephant Heavenly Pillar Array, transforming the four symbols into four divine dragons that coiled around the limbs of the Five Elements Dharma Image.

Immediately, streams of energy, under the influence of the great formation, pressed down from all sides, actually weakening the aura of the Black Flame Phoenix by three points.

For a moment, countless onlookers showed expressions of shock, and even the Great Wind God of the Phoenix Clan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Such a wondrous mobilization of power has actually reached the level of a Solemn God!"

Back then, with the blessing of the Five Elements and Four Symbols Formation, Qian Feng even obtained top-tier immortal weapon combat power with his invincible ghost king body.

If Su Ji hadn't yet mastered the Four Symbols Yin Yang [Root Method], he would probably already possess the combat power of a powerful Immortal Lord!

For a time, the Black Flame Phoenix's divine fire could burn through everything, but Su Ji's Five Elements Dharma Image could continuously absorb the power of the great formation to recover.

When the battle ended, Su Ji only had minor superficial injuries.

"Is this the power of the trailblazers?"

The Golden Flame God General was momentarily stunned, but instead of being discouraged, he gained some insights.

"To achieve sainthood through the path of paving, one must integrate various mysteries into the path of paving; to achieve sainthood through the physical body, one must integrate various mysteries into the physical body. If one can mobilize the power within the body according to the operation of the formation, wouldn't there be a chance to reach an even higher level?"

The art of formations is not merely a way of paving roads, but a means of integrating various things. In fact, one could say that cultivation techniques are also a part of formations.

The path to physical sainthood varies from person to person. Even after consulting the experiences of others, the Golden Flame God still encountered a bottleneck, but now he finally saw hope in Su Ji.

The other immortals and gods had different expressions, but the Great Wind God seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Golden Toad God, I will come again in three days. I hope you can spare some time to discuss important matters then."

Su Ji's heart stirred slightly. Although he didn't know what the Great Wind God was up to, he still showed respect to the local lord: "Being able to cultivate in your noble family's blessed land is already a great honor. Whatever it may be, I will consider it carefully!"

Time quickly passed to the third day. This time, not only the Great Wind God Lord came, but also the Fire Phoenix God Lord who had severely injured the White Dragon Arhat. Clearly, the matter to be discussed was not simple.

As soon as the Fire Phoenix God landed, he exclaimed in admiration: "The Golden Toad God truly lives up to his reputation as another pioneer who has the potential to become a saint after the Brahma Emperor. We are truly impressed!"

Although Su Ji felt a sense of pride in being recognized, he had nothing to be complacent about. He returned the greeting, saying, "Pioneering the path was arduous, and my current achievements are also thanks in part to the Phoenix Clan's Grotto-Heaven..."

In the past few months, Su Ji has already fully comprehended the Four Symbols of Yang. In just two or three months, he should be able to integrate the Four Symbols of Yin and Yang.

Having received Su Ji's approval, both the Great Wind God and the Fire Phoenix God were pleased. With a wave of their hands, stone tables and benches appeared on the open ground.

The Fire Phoenix God picked up the teapot and brewed three cups of tea in succession, immediately releasing a warm and vibrant energy.

The Great Wind God laughed and said, "This tea is made from the leaves of the Fire God Tree, containing a trace of the life-giving power of innate divine fire. Drinking it can heal flesh and bones, and also enhance the power of the soul..."

These past few days, Su Ji has also observed that there is a large tree in the sun. Now he can finally see its true form. The leaves of the Fire God Tree are like butterfly wings made of red jade, and they are still fluttering in the teacup, which is truly miraculous.

Su Ji had just finished cultivating for several months and had exhausted a lot of his energy. He lowered his head and took a sip. Instantly, a warm energy spread from top to bottom towards his soul, which not only refreshed his spirit, but also reduced the killing intent that was wrapped around him.

"Excellent tea!" Su Ji exclaimed.

With this cup of tea as a starting point, the three of them began to chat and laugh.

After a long while, the Fire Phoenix God finally revealed his purpose: "The Golden Toad God should know that we have come here specifically to ask you something, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer." (End of Chapter)
