Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 54 The Grand Ceremony of Sacrificing to Heaven

Five Elements Escape Technique.

Although it is called a technique of escape.

It sounds like a way to run away.

After examining it closely, Yang Jian realized that this was a technique that used magical power to communicate with the five elements.

Once you've mastered it, manipulating the Five Elements will be as easy as turning your hand.

Naming it "Controlling the Five Elements" would be more reasonable.

However, the reason it's called the Five Elements Escape Technique is largely because this technique is incredibly convenient for escaping.

As long as one transforms into one of the five elements, within the influence range of the five elements' location, one can move extremely fast and arrive in an instant.

In comparison, using the Five Elements to launch an attack pales in comparison.

After all, in this world of the prehistoric times, everyone competes with magical weapons; who cares about spells!

If we were to use a metaphor to describe it...

Ordinary magic weapons are equivalent to pistols.

To cast a spell, one would assemble the pistol on the spot and then use it.

If you are of the same cultivation level, the opponent uses a magic weapon, and you use a spell.

The result is that before you can even finish assembling it, the other side has already pointed a gun at your head.

How can we play like this?

If someone possesses high cultivation and can create a Gatling gun with a wave of their hand, then that's a different story.

After Yang Jian absorbed the contents of the Five Elements Escape Technique, he felt as if everything around him had changed.

The surroundings are filled with interesting little things; this is the spiritual energy of the five elements in the world.

With a casual wave of his hand, a flame condensed between his fingers.

With another flick of the wrist, the small flame was extinguished instantly.

As for the ability to transform into the five elements and move around at will, he cannot do it yet with his current cultivation level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. It will only be possible when he reaches the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm.

To truly master it, one must reach the realm of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao, or even the higher realm of immortals.

No, that's incorrect.

Yang Jian discovered that he had an extremely keen perception of the two spiritual energies, water and fire.

He guessed that it was caused by the existing two supernatural powers, [Water Cloud Body] and [Karmic Fire Body].

If the Five Elements Escape Technique is used to manipulate these two supernatural abilities.

Will there be any difference?

Do it when you think of it.

In the next instant, Yang Jian's figure suddenly transformed into a cloud of white mist, entering the [Water Cloud Body] state.

In his perception, countless blue dots lit up around him, and he could move to them whenever he wanted.

And the nearest place was right next to him.

Then a thought struck him.

The white mist trembled and vanished completely.

On the other side of the screen, Su Daji, who was taking a bath, noticed that Yang Jian's figure had disappeared.

The white mist that had suddenly spread earlier has now disappeared.

The windows inside the house were not open.

Just as she was starting to feel something was off.

Suddenly, I realized there was another person in front of me.

It was none other than Yang Jian! His sudden appearance in the bathtub did not splash any water; only the surface of the water was slightly rippled by his presence.

Yang Jian gave a slight, awkward smile, revealing a set of white teeth: "My skills are lacking, I apologize!"

Su Daji's eyes widened, her shock seemingly about to overflow.

This was different from her previous deliberate teasing of Yang Jian.

She was completely unprepared.

A grown man suddenly appeared in front of you.

She wanted to shout for someone to drive this audacious Yang Jian out.

But who could she call upon to have Yang Jian capture himself?

Call her Meiniang? That little vixen will only laugh at herself.

Shame, anger, and grief welled up inside her, turning her whole body red.

She was flustered and didn't know where to cover herself.

In a moment of desperation, she grabbed a towel and threw it at Yang Jian's face, covering his eyes.

"Get out! Don't look!"

Yang Jian rolled out of the room, ignoring his wet clothes, and casually grabbed the towel covering his eyes, asking, "Want a back scrub?"

His response was a handful of bathwater.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Jian froze the water in mid-air, and then, under his control, it returned to the bathtub.

He then used his magic to dry the water droplets off his body.

I must say, this Five Elements Escape Technique is actually quite convenient for washing clothes and taking a bath.

Yang Jian thought to himself.

Just now, when he used the [Water Cloud Body] technique, he discovered that he could move freely in this state, and that it consumed less mana.

He can appear wherever there is water.

As for the range, Yang Jian carefully sensed it and found it to be about a hundred meters.

If the [Water Cloud Body] can bring about this change.

What kind of transformation will the [Karmic Fire Body] bring?

Yang Jian's eyes lit up immediately.

three days later.

In the city of Chaoge.

Grand ceremony to worship Heaven.

Today, Chaoge City is different from usual; it is much more oppressive, and a faint smell floats in the air.

It was like rusty powder scattered in the air, and even the saliva you swallowed was tainted with this smell.

It smells like blood.

The streets were no longer bustling as they used to be.

Pedestrians hurried along both sides of the road, silent to each other, as if afraid of disturbing something.

The center of the road was reserved for the army to escort human sacrifices or slaves.

Some slaves looked as if they had just been pulled back from a construction site, covered in dust, and were taken to the sacrificial center to worship heaven and earth without even having time to be washed.

The human sacrifices here came from all over the country. Yang Jian also saw a large group of white and black people being chained up and dragged around like dogs.

Today, during the grand ceremony to worship Heaven, apart from Emperor Yi's chariot, no one is allowed to drive on the roads.

Therefore, Yang Jian, Su Daji, and Meiniang also walked along the roadside.

The difference is that Wu Zetian is holding a black cat in her arms.

It was that black tiger that had transformed into it.

Black Tiger's arrival also brought a message, delivered by Zheng Lun, who was in charge of guarding the military rations outside the city.

Zheng Lun said that his senior brother Li Jing's wife wrote a letter saying that she was pregnant with their third child!

Yang Jian was stunned upon hearing this. He admitted that he had previously had a dark thought that Nezha might have been a child of the Chan Sect.

But these are just dirty thoughts in one's own mind, and they're not worth talking about at all.

But Li Jing is currently away fighting, and his second child was born during this time. Before Li Jing has even returned, his wife is already pregnant with their third child.

Unless Li Jing has the ability to sow seeds in the void, these three pregnancies must have been conceived by someone else.

Li Jing was a human being, and how could a child between two people not be born after three years of pregnancy?

Unless the seed that was planted by Nezha's mother wasn't human, which is why she didn't have any children for three years, and finally gave birth to a ball.

Fortunately, Yang Jian had previously gone to great lengths to instill the concept of eugenics in Li Jing.

Unexpectedly, it was the Chan Sect that pulled off the best move; their performance was simply phenomenal.

Yang Jian seemed to see Li Jing with a green hat on his head, no wonder Li Jing was shouting and killing at Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods.

Reasonable!

Hey~

As he thought about it, Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh.

Turning around, I only saw the puzzled looks of the two people and the cat.

Yang Jian shook his head and offered no explanation; they wouldn't understand even if he told them.

As for why Black Tiger was only able to enter the city today...

This is because there is a powerful array in Chaoge City.

The Chaoge formation had not been closed previously.

Black Tiger is only allowed to stay outside the city and is not permitted to enter.

Only now, during the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven, has it been able to enter.

The purpose of the great formation is to monitor the cultivators in the city and wear down their cultivation. It was created by Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the Yin Shang Dynasty, by drawing inspiration from the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation of the Three Immortals. It is called the Zhou Tian Star Locking God Formation.

Any cultivator above the Immortal realm who enters the formation will have their cultivation suppressed to below the Immortal realm, that is, the Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing the Dao realm.

Not only that, but one's cultivation level will also be slowly eroded, and it is not impossible for it to regress. Therefore, immortals always avoid Chaoge at all costs.

The reason for closing the great formation today is that, under the isolation of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Locking God Formation, their sacrifices will not receive a response from the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Mother.

Another reason is that during the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, cultivators from all walks of life will come to observe the ceremony.

Among them, quite a few have already become immortals.

If you continue along the road, you will see a huge square.

In the center of the square, the sacred artifact of the Shang Dynasty stood tall, its red light soaring into the sky, turning the blue sky and the bright sun crimson.

The heavy stench of blood seemed to engulf Chaoge.

Slaves were densely packed all around, numbering in the millions.

At the very back stood soldiers wielding enormous blades, surrounding the slaves.

The blade gleamed in the sunlight, its broken edge filled with blood clots that were reddish to black.

Keep going forward until you reach a high platform.

Most of the officials of the Yin-Shang dynasty were located here.

They gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

Yang Jian saw Zi Shou, whose face was pale today. He was wearing armor, with a sword at his waist, and a squad of guards behind him.

Zi Shou gave a barely perceptible nod, then walked past without looking to the side, as if their previous conspiracy had never existed.

No sooner had he left than Yang Jian spotted Li Jing, who was dressed in a green robe and green crown, showing off his attire to others, making him impossible to miss.
