The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror

Chapter 323: Oppressive Might from Shakyamuni (Part 2)


Xu Qing found it a bit overwhelming seeing the two bald men being so enthusiastic.

He coughed lightly and shared his thoughts.

"Breaking down the Buddhist Law of the Great Leiyin Temple using the power of the Five Elements?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into contemplation.

Xu Qing didn't keep anything secret and shared his ideas.

He was actually inspired by the Five-Colored Divine Light from novels in his previous life.

It so happened that he had practiced the Divine Skills of the Four Symbols Constellations and needed just one more element to form the Five Elements Divine Technique.

Taking this opportunity to gather everyone's wisdom, he wondered if they could create a simplified version of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Everyone present was a genuine cultivation prodigy, dedicated to their careers and undoubtedly skilled.

Moreover, Xiong Chan and King Lin had experience in cultivating the Four Symbols Annihilation Sword.

In recent years, Xu Qing had also been searching for the reincarnations of Ji Changxi's aunt and Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan was relatively easier to find, but locating Ji Changxi would be much more troublesome.

Because Fu Xuan carried Xu Qing's Heavenly Demon Qi.

However, as long as it reincarnated in the Great Yu Dynasty, it could eventually be found.

But the reincarnation of the Martial Saint would have the fetal mystery, so awakening their innate wisdom would naturally rely on the Morning Bell and Evening Drum.

Therefore, Xu Qing was determined to retrieve the Morning Bell and Evening Drum no matter what.

He had to overcome this hurdle of the Great Leiyin Temple.

The jokes ended there.

After seriously studying the mystery of the Five Elements, new inspirations flowed naturally.

Moreover, Xu Qing's Golden Light Spell was fundamentally rooted in the Five Thunders Skill.

The old Heavenly Master was an expert in this field.

After everyone explained their own insights.

A set of Five Elements Divine Technique gradually took shape.

"The Dao of Five Elements conforms to creation and destruction. The Golden Core Method I've cultivated seems to be able to be perfected." The old Heavenly Master was the one who gained the most after Xu Qing.

He didn't care about the Five Elements but about creation and destruction.

If the paths of creation and destruction were integrated, his Thunder Skill would achieve far beyond the achievements of all the Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain throughout history, even aspiring to the realm of the creator.

At this step, the Inner Heaven and Earth he developed reached a stage of perfection, naturally advancing to the grotto heaven of a Heavenly Immortal, and of course, smoothly progressing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In fact, for cultivators, achieving the realm of the creator and becoming a Heavenly Immortal was almost a natural progression.

It's just having to go through some tribulations.

In Taoist terms, the Heavenly Immortal is almost the highest achievement in cultivation.

Further differentiation lies only in Taiyi and Da Luo.

Disciples of The Three Pure Ones refer to Da Luo, while those outside the Three Pure Ones refer to Taiyi, nothing more.

As for The Three Pure Ones, it's merely a title and not a specific deity, although in later generations, it's inevitably deified.

The so-called attainment of Buddha and realization of Tathagata in Buddhism, when compared to Taoism, is actually also the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

However, even Heavenly Immortals are not eternally immortal, as they have to go through the Heavenly Person Five Decays.

Only by overcoming the Heavenly Person Five Decays can one be called a carefree immortal without disaster and tribulation.

Through Lu Zu's memory, Xu Qing discovered that immortals do not necessarily have to traverse the Heavenly Person Five Decays, as there are divine skills or miraculous objects in the world that can avert decay and calamity.

However, these miraculous objects don't exist in the world where the Great Yu Dynasty resides.

Even though they were not Heavenly Immortals, everyone was of the rank of land immortals.

With Xu Qing proposing the topic and providing information, inspirations flowed endlessly.

This time, it was different from the previous deduction of the Golden Core Righteous Method.

As the scope was smaller, everyone's inspiration was more targeted.

Besides, all the methods in the world fall within the bounds of Yin and Yang Five Elements.

Gradually, a prototype of the Five-Colored Divine Light was deduced by everyone.

However...

"The Five Elements mutually generate and restrain each other; mastering their subtle balance is exceedingly difficult. Moreover, everyone is limited by their own cultivation technique and innate root bone, which will inevitably focus on one particular element. If you cultivate in the Five Elements Divine Technique, balance will not be maintained, and mana conflicts will arise, harming oneself…" Xiong Chan couldn't help but sigh.

People with cultivation root bones have one or two distinct attributes most of the time; having balanced Five Elements attributes might instead render them mediocre.

Because it means simultaneously cultivating in the Five Elements Primordial Qi.

Achieving the same realm would require five times the effort to break through.

Moreover, at the breakthrough point, if the balance of the Five Elements is disrupted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even foundational skills like the Golden Light Spell, which is rooted in the Five Thunders Skill, start from the heart fire.

The most frustrating thing in the world is having a top-tier divine skill right before your eyes, yet being unable to cultivate it.

Yet Xiong Chan couldn't resist giving it a try.

After ending the Heavenly Demon Dream, everyone secretly tried.

Each found that not only was cultivation cumbersome, but during cultivation, five times the usual Heart Demons would appear, disrupting the clarity of their spirit platform.

After practicing for a while, they felt utterly agitated.

Xu Qing was different. He used the Heavenly Demon Skill as a foundation to evolve all techniques.

He began with evolving the Five Elements power using Tai Chu Demon Qi, which was as smooth as fish in water.

The only downside was indeed the proliferation of five times the Heart Demons.

But who was he?

Demon Lord!

With just a slight activation of Tai Shi Demon Qi, these Heart Demons would scatter like mice seeing a cat, each one becoming nourishment for cultivating Tai Chu Demon Qi.

He used Tai Shi Demon Qi to suppress the Heart Demons of the Five Elements and used Tai Chu Demon Qi to cultivate the Five Elements Divine Technique, gradually grasping the intriguing truths within it.

A one-time, an array of complex emotions lingered in his heart.

Gradually, during the process of using Tai Shi Demon Qi to suppress the Heart Demons of the Five Elements, a peculiar transformation took place.

In his heart, it was as if a Tai Chi Diagram was circulating.

Dao can indeed be called; yet, it's not a constant Dao.

Mystically profound, intricately wondrous words flowed through his mind.

The Tai Chi Diagram manifested in his heart, seemingly further elucidating the essence of Tai Shi Demon Qi.

"So the essence of Tai Shi Demon Qi is Yin Yang? If not for suppressing the Heart Demons of the Five Elements, I would have missed noticing this point." A realization naturally arose within Xu Qing's heart.

The multicolored Divine Light gradually emerged on his body, giving him a mysterious aura.

Not far away, within the Great Leiyin Temple, a long time had passed since the Morning Bell, and the sound of the Dusk Drum subtly surged like the first tide.

Xu Qing slowly rose.

"I have arrived!"

Xu Qing was filled with confidence this time.

He strode boldly into the Great Leiyin Temple, surrounded by the multicolored Divine Light, not fearing the Buddha Power within the temple. As for the sound of the Dusk Drum, it was like the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, loosening his muscles and bones.

He arrived again before the Grand Hall, beneath the Lotus Platform.

The silhouette on the Lotus Platform manifested once more.

"Shakyamuni, I have arrived!" Xu Qing said slowly.

A profound extraordinary confidence emanated from within.

Xu Qing stood with hands clasped behind his back, the wind swirling fiercely around him, black hair flying wild, resembling a demon yet also a celestial being.

"You have improved a bit since last time." The Shakyamuni silhouette seemed slightly surprised, as if Xu Qing's rate of progress was beyond his expectations.

But that was all.

He calmly struck out with one palm.

The multicolored light on Xu Qing's body surged, the power of the Five Elements circulating as if intending to dissolve all techniques.

Shakyamuni smiled slightly.

This palm descended.

Boom!

Outside the Great Leiyin Temple, dust spread.

Xu Qing rose from the dust once more.

It was certain that this was merely an illusion left by Shakyamuni.

In Xu Qing's view, this was no different from a Forbidden Technique, except that it had consciousness due to Shakyamuni's Magic with Primordial Spirit realm, as if it retained Shakyamuni's own memory and consciousness.

Yet it couldn't be so ridiculously strong.

"No, it's still the flaws in my Five-Colored Divine Light that are too many and too apparent."

Xu Qing pondered over the previous exchange.

Clearly, the outcome this time wasn't solely due to the disparity in power; rather, it was because his Five-Colored Divine Light was formed yet far from smooth and unobstructed.

But this time, he wasn't seriously injured.

Good, very good!

Apart from this place, where else in the world could one find such perfectly fitting cultivation challenges!

Xu Qing wasn't the least bit disheartened.

Meanwhile, his friends were in for a treat!

Under the Blood Bodhi Tree, Xiong Chan once again felt drowsy.

"Again?" Xiong Chan was already losing interest in the Five Elements Divine Technique, unless Xu Qing would take him to Ying Huo Star, but clearly, that was impossible.

"Fellow Daoist, help me!" Xiong Chan hurriedly called out to Red-haired Yan Kong of the Blood Bodhi Tree.

The crimson roots were like silver needles piercing into Xiong Chan's body; the intense pain dispelled his drowsiness.

Far on the Ying Huo Star, Xu Qing scowled.

Great Monk, you were given a chance!

Why don't you cherish it!

East Island, King Lin.

This East Sea Divine Flood Dragon, while routinely honing his body, suddenly felt sleepy. He struggled a bit but then chose to give up.

"Big brother, you're still the best." Xu Qing felt somewhat moved.

"Come whenever there's anything." King Lin had already laid down.
