Junior sister, I really need to control you

This is the outer core of the dragon pearl that he had previously consumed and refined; it has now completely transformed into the water element within his dantian.

Perhaps because it originated from the body of a great demon dragon, this Water Element Pill is already quite powerful even before it has been refined.

As Li Yinsheng thought, the pitch-black Water Element Pill suddenly expanded and lengthened, transforming into a long sword, its entire body as black as ink, but its surface was covered with fine dragon scale patterns.

By this point, he had mastered four of the five elements and transformed them into four swords.

In the center of the dantian, the four swords are arranged in a neat array: the wooden sword Tianqing is in the east, the golden sword Taibai is in the west, the fire sword Yanjing is in the south, and the water sword Molin is in the north.

As he made a hand seal, the four swords trembled simultaneously, each emitting a brilliant light.

The four colors of light—blue, white, red, and black—occupied the entire dantian, then intertwined and flowed together, gradually condensing into a four-colored treasure wheel, which slowly rotated beneath the four swords.

Although the four swords are not entirely the same in power, under Li Yinsheng's control, the colors of the four colored wheels below each occupy a quarter of the wheel.

The only difference is the level of brightness.

The four swords each hung above their corresponding colors, rotating together with the treasure wheel.

Li Yinsheng took a few deep breaths, then took out the soybean-sized piece of "breath soil" and swallowed it.

Within the dantian, the Breath Soil appeared at the very center of the Four-Colored Treasure Wheel, and at the point where the four colors intersected, it was given a slight yellowish-brown halo.

After the appearance of the Breath Soil, the rotation speed of the Four-Colored Treasure Wheel suddenly increased, and the four-colored halos intertwined and enveloped the Breath Soil, as if they were gradually erasing it.

The destroyed soil immediately fell into the treasure wheel and was refined into part of the earthy yellow aura.

Li Yinsheng slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, we've finally grasped the basics of the Five Elements Treasure Wheel."

Next, all that's left is for the four-colored treasure wheel below to completely refine the Breath Soil into a part of itself, and then the Five Elements Treasure Wheel will be completely completed.

According to Aunt Qin, the Five Elements Treasure Wheel will have many wonderful uses, including attacking, defending, trapping enemies, sealing off, and even healing oneself.

Besides the Five Elements Treasure Wheel that he had finally mastered, there was a new member in his dantian.

Beside the white rainbow sword placed on the outer edge, there was also a small, transparent cauldron that he had recently condensed.

This is the Void Cauldron formed by the Void Cauldron Elixir Technique. It was only recently created and is so ethereal that it seems like a wisp of smoke that could be blown away at any moment.

As Li Yinsheng gradually perfects the Void Cauldron, it will become increasingly solid.

……

Noon, at the summit of Jinshi Peak.

Elder Yu led the way, guiding Li Yinsheng along a dark stone path towards the very top.

"In order to make it easier for the Golden Crow Pool to absorb the essence of the sun, I built it at the very top of Golden Stone Peak."

Elder Yu said as he walked, "Although the True Blood Scripture is indeed very beneficial for your absorption and refinement of the sun's essence, it's really not worth it afterward."

"Once you finish your cultivation in the Golden Crow Pool, you'd better choose another body-refining technique."

"Even if you don't plan to become a disciple, I can still give you some of the best cultivation techniques outside of the immortal lineage."

Faced with the elder's well-intentioned advice, Li Yinsheng shook his head.

"Elder Yu, I appreciate your kindness, but I would like to try to cultivate the essence of the sun using the True Blood Scripture first."

"Oh dear! I just can't understand it!" Elder Yu exclaimed in frustration. "True blood can indeed nurture the essence of the sun, but it's too slow!"

“I know you have great talent, but cultivating the essence of the sun is like refining a magic weapon; it has nothing to do with talent, it can only rely on time to nurture it.”

“It takes decades to cultivate the essence of the sun with true blood, and hundreds of years to produce even a wisp of inferior true sun fire.”

"Think about your own talent. How many years have you lived? How many years have you cultivated?"

"Decades is already an extremely long time for you, let alone wasting hundreds of years for a wisp of inferior solar fire?"

"Unless it's for a wisp of the true solar fire of the Golden Crow royal family, then there's some explanation!"

Faced with Elder Yu's earnest advice, Li Yinsheng could only remain silent, unable to say anything.

What could he say? A few decades is actually very short, and a few hundred years isn't long either.

With Elder Yu's persuasion and Li Yinsheng's silence, the two walked to a large, boiling pool.

The pool seemed to have been carved out of a huge black rock on the mountaintop, surrounded by a seamless expanse of black rock, and the pool itself was several tens of feet in diameter.

Li Yinsheng stared intently at the boiling pool, shrouded in mist, yet he could still see sparse golden threads of light moving within the churning water.

"This is the Golden Crow Pool."

Elder Yu stood in front of the pool and reminded, "The essence of the sun in the pool is condensed by the sacred spring of the Golden Crow Clan, so it will also be imbued with a trace of the Golden Crow's essence."

"When you absorb the essence of the sun, the golden crow's essence within it will condense the sun's essence into a golden crow phantom to attack you."

"After you destroy the golden crow phantom, you will be able to absorb the essence of the sun within it. Afterward, the golden crow phantom will be reborn because the golden crow's essence cannot be easily erased."

"Although I allow you to cultivate in the Golden Crow Pool, I will not protect you."

"The Golden Crow illusory image in the pool is at the level of a True Person and a Great True Person. If you can't even deal with it, it only means that your combat power is not up to your cultivation level and you are not worthy of using the Golden Crow Pool."

Li Yinsheng walked into the Golden Crow Pool, where the water was just waist-deep.

Sure enough, as he entered, golden light threads immediately gathered together, rose from the pool, and transformed into a golden crow phantom with wingspan of only two or three zhang, but with an extremely powerful aura.

Elder Yu crossed his arms and looked at Li Yinsheng with great interest.

He was quite curious about the combat power of this young prodigy who had already achieved the Great True Person realm.

Although he is quite powerful in both body cultivation and sword cultivation, he is still too young and probably hasn't accumulated enough experience. In terms of true strength, he is only about equal to an ordinary Grand Master...

With a flash of white light, the golden crow phantom was shattered into countless fragments, which then dissipated into numerous golden specks.

Li Yinsheng immediately opened his mouth and sucked in these golden light spots, then used the True Blood Secret Scripture to absorb and refine them.

Everything happened so fast that Elder Yu on the shore only had time to show a hint of bewilderment.

Was that... a flying sword?

It was a pure white, golden flying sword, so sharp that he felt a sense of threat.

Driven by a divine sense no less powerful than his, the flying sword moved with a speed that a Great True Person could never react to, instantly slicing the golden crow phantom into pieces.

Elder Yu's expression changed several times as he watched Li Yinsheng refine the essence of the sun and calmly wait for the next golden crow phantom to appear.

Finally, it transformed into a resolute expression.

Absolutely, absolutely we must not let that guy surnamed Shen see this kid's abilities.

Otherwise, that guy might disregard his reputation and forcefully take this kid as his disciple!

……

January has passed in a flash.

The last wisp of the sun's essence in the pool was swallowed by Li Yinsheng and absorbed and refined by the True Blood Scripture.

Now, the blood flowing through his veins reflects two completely different golden lights.

The first type is included in the True Blood Codex, but it won't be of much use until he has reached the full level of True Blood.

The second type is all the solar essence he has absorbed over the past month, which has effectively strengthened his physical foundation and made him feel that his physical strength has increased significantly.

and……

He raised one hand, and under his control, the essence of the sun in his true blood gathered and transformed into a dazzling golden light in his palm, like a miniature sun.

With his deliberate manipulation, the miniature sun stretched and deformed in his palm, transforming into a golden sun sword.

Then the Golden Sun Sword disappeared from his palm and appeared in his dantian, standing side by side with the Five Elements Treasure Wheel that was still eroding the Breath Soil.

After a month of refining, the Breath Soil at the center of the Five Elements Treasure Wheel was not refined much; only a thin layer was lost.

However, the yellowish-brown halo at the center of the lower wheel was two sizes larger than before, although it was still disproportionate to the surrounding four colors.

With a thought, Li Yinsheng's Moon Soul Sword appeared in his dantian.

At this moment, in the center of the dantian, the Five Elements Treasure Wheel is in the middle, the Golden Sun Divine Sword formed from the essence of the sun is suspended above the Five Elements Treasure Wheel, and the Moon Soul Sword is suspended below the Five Elements Treasure Wheel.

As the Five Elements Treasure Wheel slowly rotated, the Golden Sun Sword and the Moon Soul Sword also seemed to be simulating the rising and setting of the sun and moon, rotating up and down around the Five Elements Treasure Wheel.

Looking inward at the Five Elements Treasure Wheel and the rising and setting of the sun and moon in his dantian, Li Yinsheng let out a long breath.

He has finally collected all seven luminaries: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Sun, and Moon!

In this way, we can start considering the first condensation of the Dharma form.

I wonder what kind of Dharma form can be condensed by taking these seven luminaries as the core, plus the Dao of Array, the Dao of Sword, and the Dao of Body Cultivation, and whether its grade can reach the top grade.

……

At the center of Zhengyang Peak, in the square in front of the Thirty-Three Palaces, a blinding golden light fell.

Three magnificent golden horses emerged from the golden light, the lead one being taller than the two on either side.

Behind three golden horses, a palanquin as large as a house was being pulled.

The imperial carriage was made entirely of metal and stone. Although it looked simple and unadorned, it exuded a solemn and dignified aura.

The imperial carriage gates opened, and Li Yinsheng led Mu Xiaoyu out from inside, bowing respectfully to them.

"Thank you Elder Yu for giving us a ride."

"No need to be polite, I was planning to come and see this year's Dao Examination anyway." Elder Yu waved his hand from the imperial carriage.

"The Dao Examination begins tomorrow. You should all go and rest and prepare yourselves..."

He paused, then reminded him, "Kid, remember what I told you?"

"Don't use that sword of yours carelessly during the Dao Examination. Anyway, without that sword, no one in Zhengyang Field can beat you."

"At most, you might encounter other powerful masters coming to Zhengyang Field, which could make things a little more difficult for you."

Li Yinsheng didn't know why Elder Yu repeatedly emphasized that it was best not to use the Taibai Sword. Could it be that he was worried that someone in the lineage might have the idea of ​​killing someone to steal the treasure?

But he nodded and agreed.

Anyway, the Lesser Yang stage comes first, and the Greater Yang stage comes later.

Once he receives the reward for his cultivation aspirations, even if he encounters other Great Masters participating in the Zhengyang Field, he will not need to use the Taibai Sword.

If his junior sister proves herself and wins the championship, it's hard to say whether he will still be a Grand Master then.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Miss Shangguan has emerged from seclusion yet. It would be a pity if she didn't come to see this Dao Examination.
