Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

He decided to start replanning his subsequent cultivation tasks and goals.

The seven lower-level principles are metal, wood, water, earth, wind, light, and darkness, from the beginning to the end, especially the four major principles of the five elements: metal, wood, water, and earth.

For him, although he could complete all of these in seclusion, each law required a great deal of time and effort to break through to the perfect state.

He still needs to rely on the resources of the Daoist sect and go to places that contain the mysteries of the laws to comprehend them, so that he can greatly shorten the time required.

"Let's start with the Law of Gold..."

Joining the Dao Sect has one advantage: the Golden Secret Realm exists. That secret realm is a trial ground left behind by an ancient powerhouse, containing an extremely rich Golden Law. It is so rich that it is dangerous for geniuses who have not comprehended the Golden Law, or even those who have not yet achieved a minor level of understanding of the Golden Law.

When he applied to the Heavenly Palace Elder for entry qualifications, the Elder did not stop him from entering. He just gave him a strange look and said, "The Golden Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Even those in the Reincarnation Realm may perish if they enter."

Clearly, this elder was merely fulfilling his duty to remind them; as for whether the qualified geniuses within the sect would actually be in danger?

No one cared, because the path of cultivation is inherently intertwined with both opportunities and dangers. To obtain certain opportunities, one must naturally bear certain risks; it's impossible for you to have all the good things at once.

Wei Wen would not back down at this time, as that was not his style. Besides, he believed that the dangers in the secret realm had not yet reached the point where they could threaten him.

The Golden Secret Realm is located in a canyon behind the Dao Sect, where the stone walls on both sides of the canyon are covered with golden runes.

As Wei Wen entered the canyon, the power of the Law of Metal immediately rushed towards him, like countless sharp blades cutting into his body.

Those geniuses who have only reached the beginner level or below in the Law of Gold will likely be stuck here, unable to make any further progress.

He was naturally unafraid in the slightest, and directly used the Metal Law of the Great Perfection Realm to protect his entire body, walking step by step deeper into the depths.

The deeper the canyon, the stronger the power of the Law of Metal.

Upon reaching the deepest point, the power of the Law of Gold had become so concentrated that it was visible to the naked eye, with golden light flowing in the air like golden rivers.

He stared at the pressure enveloping his entire body, sat cross-legged on a giant rock at the deepest point, closed his eyes, and sank his consciousness into the ocean of the Law of Metal.

The essence of the Law of Gold unfolded before his eyes little by little; sharpness was merely the surface, and solidity was only the exterior... its core was "immortality".

What is immortality?

Gold is immortal and indestructible, lasting forever.

Just like there is a realm in all the heavens and myriad worlds—"Golden Immortal".

"Gold" signifies immortality!

"Golden Immortal" is an immortal being who is immortal and eternal!

Clearly, the true law of metal is not simply for cutting or defense, but represents something eternal, or rather, the most essential "existence" in the universe.

He sat in the Golden Secret Realm for a whole month, two months, three months...

When he emerged from the secret realm, the Law of Metal had successfully advanced from the Great Completion stage to the Perfection stage.

The seed of the Law of Metal within his body transformed into a dazzling yet restrained gold, a contradictory color that exuded an aura of immortality and eternal existence.

His body was tempered by the Law of Metal, making his bones harder than the highest grade of alloy, his skin stronger and more flexible than armor, and his lifespan greatly extended, almost reaching the level of immeasurable lifespan where the world is destroyed while I am still alive—of course, this only applies to lifespan.

If he could find a way to perfect the Law of Metal in the main world of Swallowing Star after returning to it, he could possess an indestructible golden body in the Eternal Star realm, similar to a divine body.

Next is the Law of Wood. The cultivation of the Five Elements Law is the most common in the Daoist sect, and there is no shortage of related secret realms.

One of them is an ancient forest, where the trees are tens of thousands of years old and contain a rich law of wood.

Wei Wen found the largest ancient tree in the ancient forest and sat down cross-legged under it.

The essence of the Law of Wood is not growth, nor repair, but "vitality".

All things grow by vitality, life continues by vitality, and the universe also needs vitality to function.

There is no life; everything is dead.

The Law of Wood represents the most fundamental "vitality" in the universe. Yes, not only individuals, but the universe itself also has "life," or vitality.

Another month, two months, three months... Well, this time it didn't even take three months. When he emerged from the ancient forest, the Law of Wood had undoubtedly reached its perfect state.

The seed of the Law of Wood within his body turned emerald green, radiating vibrant life. As for this life force... it allowed him to recover at an extreme speed. Unless he suffered a fatal injury, he could be completely healed in just one breath.

Next is the Law of Water. The Dao Sect has an endless sea, which is a trial ground opened up by an ancient powerhouse with great magic.

The sea was boundless and the water was unfathomably deep. Wei Wen sat on the edge of the sea for a long time before he gradually realized that the essence of the law of water was not gentleness, not inclusiveness, not simply the highest good being like water, but "adaptability".

As the saying goes, water has no fixed shape; it takes the shape of a square when it is square and the shape of a circle when it is round.

It is also said that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Furthermore, when things are at their worst, they must change; change leads to progress; and progress leads to longevity!

The Law of Water represents the most fundamental "change" in the universe.

He sat in the sea for nearly a month, going from seeing with his eyes to seeing with his consciousness, and then to seeing with his heart, using his sixth sense to "see".

Suddenly one day, the Law of Water finally reached its opportunity and was completely fulfilled.

The seed of the Water Law within his body turned deep blue, radiating a soft light. Within that light, everything seemed unchanging, yet everything seemed to be changing.

Next is the Law of Earth. The Dao Sect has a barren desert, and every grain of sand in the desert contains the power of the Law of Earth.

Wei Wen sat cross-legged in the desert, slowly pondering the essence of the Law of Earth.

Finally, he realized the truth from a sentence he already knew.

As the saying goes, "Heaven's movement is ever vigorous; so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement." and "The earth's nature is receptive; so should it bear the weight of all things."

The core essence of the Law of Earth is "bearing". The earth bears all things without complaint. The Law of Earth represents the most essential "inclusiveness" in the universe.

Two months and three days later, the Law of Earth was perfected, and the seed of the Law of Earth within his body turned earthy yellow, exuding a profound and inclusive aura, like that of Mother Earth.

From then on, the five lower-level laws of the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) were all perfected. For a moment, Wei Wen seemed to feel a special connection between the Five Elements laws, but just as he was about to think about it seriously, this feeling disappeared, as if it were just his illusion.

"So... only when all five elements reach perfection can new paths and directions emerge?"

Wei Wen was quite certain that his feelings were real, but they were fleeting, and it would probably not be so easy to truly grasp them.
