Chapter 36

Five Elements Perfected, Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!

Taiyin generates water, which is extremely yin and extremely cold.

The Black Emperor Dharma Image within Lu Yuan's body suddenly solidified.

boom!

Suddenly, the roar of surging waves echoed from the void within the cave.

A crystal-clear droplet of water suddenly condensed in front of Lu Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, the drop of water burst open, transforming into a vast and mighty river that flowed around him.

The long river flows on, each drop of water as heavy as a mountain, all real matter, not illusory spiritual power.

Turn the abstract into the concrete.

The Law of Water: Two Transformations.

But it's not over yet.

With the breakthrough of the Law of Water, the profound meaning of the mutual generation of the Five Elements was brought to its extreme under the operation of the "Great Five Elements Chaos Technique".

Water nourishes wood, wood nourishes fire, and fire nourishes earth.

That immense understanding of the laws ultimately converged on the Law of Earth.

Furthermore, with the power of Yin and Yang creation brought by the Yin-Yang Dragon and Phoenix Technique, the barrier of the Earth Law also shattered.

A thick layer of dark yellow light emanated from Lu Yuan's body.

The image of the Yellow Emperor became as majestic as a mountain.

With a thought, patches of spiritually imbued soil miraculously grew out of thin air on the hard rocky ground of the cave.

These soils are not ordinary things, but spiritual soil containing the primordial power of the earth.

Creating land from nothingness, building towers from sand.

The law of earth, two transformations are formed.

At this point, Lu Yuan's five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth had all reached the second stage of transformation.

The five elements are in perfect harmony, creating an endless cycle of life.

A vast and unfathomable aura erupted from his body.

Although his cultivation level is still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his current strength is several times greater than before he went into seclusion.

He is only one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which requires the accumulation of magical power.

As a cultivation partner, Gu Qingxue also gained tremendous benefits from this cultivation.

Lu Yuan's pure Yang essence, refined by the Five Elements Laws, continuously flowed into her body, nourishing her Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

Her aura rose steadily, her nascent soul became increasingly translucent, and the crescent moon mark between her brows shone with a brilliant purple light.

"break."

Gu Qingxue silently shouted to herself.

With a crisp cracking sound, some kind of shackle within her body was broken, and a powerful pressure belonging to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm emanated from her delicate body.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul stage, achieved.

After a long time, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Gu Qingxue collapsed into Lu Yuan's arms, drenched in sweat, too weak to even move a finger.

Her stunningly beautiful face still held the afterglow of satisfaction, her eyes glazed over.

Feeling the surging magical power within her body, her admiration for Lu Yuan had reached an unparalleled level.

But at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness also welled up in my heart.

As her husband's physique continued to transform, coupled with the blessing of the Five Elements Law, his abilities in that area became outrageously powerful.

Even though she was a Taiyin Body at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, she was still somewhat unable to withstand it.

"My husband is now a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he cultivates all five elements, possessing an unparalleled physique. I fear that I alone cannot serve him for long enough to meet his cultivation needs."

Gu Qingxue leaned against Lu Yuan's chest, pondering to herself.

"Perhaps it's time to find someone else to share the burden with my husband."

As the head of a sect, she was not the jealous little woman.

In the world of cultivation, it is common for powerful individuals to have multiple Daoist partners. As long as her husband has her in his heart and her position is secure, nothing else matters.

For some reason, the image of Lu Xueyao suddenly appeared in her mind.

That aloof and stubborn girl.

"That girl Xueyao possesses the Nine Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart and is also my husband's personal disciple. Whether it's her talent or her appearance, she's a perfect match for my husband. Moreover, she's the disciple, and I'm the master's wife, which makes it easier for me to manage her."

Gu Qingxue thought about it more and more and felt it was suitable, and secretly made up her mind.

Lu Yuan had already told Gu Qingxue about Lu Xueyao's constitution, without hiding anything from her.

……

After finishing his cultivation, Lu Yuan felt refreshed and invigorated.

He had not forgotten his newly accepted disciple.

Lu Yuan straightened his clothes and summoned Lu Xueyao via telepathy.

A moment later, Lu Xueyao, dressed in a plain white dress and carrying a plain iron longsword, arrived at the cave.

After several days of treatment with spiritual herbs, her complexion became much rosier. Although she still had no cultivation, her sharp sword intent became even more refined.

"Xueyao, come with me."

Without saying a word, Lu Yuan waved his sleeve and disappeared from the spot with Lu Xueyao.

The next moment, the two appeared in the Taixu Secret Realm.

Lu Yuan led her deeper and deeper, until they finally arrived at a desolate valley that was heavily sealed off by restrictions.

This is the forbidden area within the Taixu Secret Realm—the Sword Tomb.

Before they even got close, a terrifying aura that could change the color of the sky and earth rushed towards them.

The valley was filled with countless broken and shattered swords.

Some were rusty, some were only half left, but each sword still retained an amazing sword intent.

"This is the Sword Tomb." Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the valley, and said calmly, "It is also the place where you awakened the Nine Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart."

Looking at the thousands of broken swords, Lu Xueyao felt her blood boiling, as if she heard some kind of call.

"Master, what should I do?" She raised her head, her eyes showing no fear.

"Your sword heart is sealed; only by breaking through can you rise again." Lu Yuan turned around, looked directly into her eyes, and said in a serious tone, "I will break the seal of the Sword Tomb, draw upon the sword energy of these thousands of broken swords, and subject you to the tempering of a thousand swords piercing your heart. With endless sword energy, I will forcefully open the nine acupoints in your heart meridian."

"This process is extremely painful; the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin. Do you dare to try?"

"This disciple dares," Lu Xueyao replied resolutely.

Compared to being trampled underfoot, compared to the despair of being betrayed by my father that day, what is this physical pain?

"it is good."

Lu Yuan nodded approvingly.

"Go in. Your master will protect you."

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the center of the Sword Tomb.

The moment she sat down cross-legged.

Lu Yuan made a hand seal and pointed at the void.

Boom!

The entire Sword Tomb erupted in chaos.

Countless broken swords that had slumbered for ten thousand years trembled at this moment, emitting a piercing sword cry.

Visible streams of materialized sword energy, like a flood bursting its banks, converged madly toward Lu Xueyao at the center, carrying the will to destroy everything.

"ah."

As soon as the first sword energy entered her body, Lu Xueyao let out a shrill scream.

The pain was like countless dull knives cutting into her flesh and drilling into her bones.

Next came the tenth, the hundredth, and the thousandth.

A thousand swords pierced my heart.

Lu Xueyao's body was instantly stained red with blood; her clothes were torn and her skin cracked.

But she still gritted her teeth, even though her lips were bitten raw, and even though her consciousness was blurred, she maintained her cross-legged posture and did not fall down.
