Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 690: Condensing the Five Elements Dao Laws, Breakthrough

After merging the trait, the second change was perception.

Han Xuanji opened his eyes and looked at everything within the Immortal Cave.

The stone walls, the ground, the desk, the teacups, the dust in the air… everything was different.

The moisture permeating the air, the ripples created by the spirit fish swimming in the pond…

The Five Elements participated in everything. This was the embryonic form of “controlling the shape of all things”; it wasn’t about controlling everything yet, but rather seeing through the essence of all things.

He could now use his power more precisely, achieving maximum effect with minimum cost.

As for that last sentence, “Only those who balance can wield the power of creation”…

Han Xuanji faintly felt that he would need to Cultivate the Way of the Five Elements to Major Achievement before he could truly understand its meaning.

At this moment, he was still far from it.

“This is enough.”

Han Xuanji took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The changes in these two aspects alone—”Five Elements Self-Rotation” and “Perception of All Things”—were enough to make his cultivation of the Way of the Five Elements twice as effective with half the effort.

He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt the Five Elements power circulating on its own within his body. A satisfied curve couldn’t help but tug at the corner of his mouth.

“Among Sign In rewards, trait rewards are extremely rare, but every single one is a fundamental reward and utterly crucial.”

Han Xuanji thought to himself.

This was much more direct than using Heaven And Earth Treasures to transform his Physique, and the effects were far better.

Even using Five Elements Spirit Essence Liquid would completely fail to achieve such an effect.

“The difficulty of the Five Elements Fusion has undoubtedly been reduced by more than half.”

Han Xuanji was in no hurry; instead, he claimed another reward.

The Five Elements Great Dao Secret Canon. This was a Cultivation Technique created by a powerhouse of the Saint Realm who cultivated the Way of the Five Elements.

After claiming the reward, countless profound pieces of information flooded into Han Xuanji’s mind. His consciousness instantly sank into it as he began to concentrate on its comprehension.

Han Xuanji did not rush for success, but instead felt his way through step by step.

With the support of the Five Elements Source Stream trait, his comprehension of the contents within the Secret Canon was exceptionally smooth. That knowledge, which was originally obscure, was quickly mastered by him.

Half a month passed.

Han Xuanji had successfully mastered the contents of the Five Elements Great Dao Secret Canon pertaining to the Eternal Dao Lord stage. The Secret Canon recorded that the method for ordinary Cultivators to condense Five Elements Dao Laws was to condense them separately—first condensing a single Five Elements Law, then gradually merging them. This was time-consuming but safe.

The Five Elements Fusion method, however, required drawing five types of Laws simultaneously to condense a single Law that merged all Five Elements characteristics within the Dantian. The difficulty was immense; the slightest negligence would lead to chaotic spiritual energy and Qi Deviation.

But the latter also had many benefits. Not only was it relatively time and labor-saving, but the Five Elements Dao Laws condensed in one go would better fit one’s own Great Dao, and the potential would be higher.

With the support of the Five Elements Source Stream and his already extremely high comprehension of the Five Elements Dao Laws, mastering the Five Elements Fusion method in the Secret Canon was a natural progression.

“It’s about time.”

Han Xuanji took out a five elements origin crystal core from his storage space. This item contained pure Five Elements Origin power. A single one was enough for an Eternal True God powerhouse to Cultivate for a very long time, let alone him.

If he hadn’t cultivated the Five Elements Great Dao Secret Canon and possessed the Five Elements Source Stream trait, he likely would have found it difficult to even refine the power contained within this item.

Han Xuanji circulated the Five Elements Great Dao Secret Canon and began to condense the Five Elements Dao Laws through Five Elements Fusion.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Han Xuanji slowly opened his eyes, a flash of determination crossing them.

“Now is the time!”

Han Xuanji gave a low shout, his mind stirring.

Finally, at a certain moment.

The Dao Fruit within Han Xuanji’s body erupted with five-colored light, as if transforming into a multicolored sphere of light. Fire within Wood, Earth within Fire, Metal within Earth, Water within Metal, Wood within Water. The Five Elements generated and overcame each other; generation and overcoming reached a perfect balance within the light sphere.

These were the Five Elements Dao Laws.

Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and a five-colored light flashed and vanished within them.

“It is done.”

Han Xuanji spoke softly to himself, his tone calm, yet his eyes could not hide his excitement.

Looking at the Five Elements Dao Laws in his palm, a faint smile appeared on Han Xuanji’s face. He could clearly feel that his connection with the Five Elements spiritual energy of heaven and earth was becoming increasingly close. With a wave of his hand, he could draw upon the Five Elements power and control the shape of all things. This was the power of the Five Elements Source Stream trait and the terrifying aspect of the Five Elements Fusion.

“The Five Elements Dao Laws have been successfully condensed. Next is to stabilize the Realm and continue polishing the Laws to prepare for the Breakthrough to Eternal True Lord.”

Han Xuanji thought secretly, as the Five Elements spiritual light around him gradually withdrew, returning to a state of calm.

The successful condensation of the Five Elements Dao Laws this time also benefited from the support of the Five Elements Source Stream trait.

The condensation of these Five Elements Dao Laws provided a massive boost to his strength. Even when facing a Cultivator at the Perfection of the Eternal Dao Lord stage, Han Xuanji was confident he could hold his own.

After condensing the Five Elements Dao Laws, Han Xuanji did not rush to end his seclusion. Instead, he struck while the iron was hot and began using the Five Elements Great Dao Secret Canon to absorb the power of the five elements origin crystal core to rapidly increase his cultivation.

For him, there were plenty of five elements origin crystal cores, which were completely sufficient to support his cultivation for a long time.

And this cultivation speed was even faster than he had anticipated. Five Elements Source Stream allowed the Five Elements power to circulate on its own, improving every moment, while the massive energy contained in the five elements origin crystal core gave him a clear direction. The two combined produced an effect where one plus one was far greater than two.

“At this rate, it won’t be long before I can break through a minor Realm.”

Han Xuanji estimated in his heart, yet he did not rush for success. Instead, he settled his mind and solidified his Foundation step by step.

Cultivation knows no years.

Time within the Immortal Cave quietly slipped away between every breath.

Spring went and autumn came; in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

During this year, Han Xuanji never took a single step out of the Immortal Cave.

Every day, besides cultivating, he spent his time comprehending the two secret techniques: the Five Elements Heavenly Escape Technique and the Great Five Elements Grappling Hand.

The five elements origin crystal core contained a vast amount of Five Elements Origin power. Han Xuanji did not dare to absorb too much at once; he also had to spend time completely merging that power into himself, leaving not a trace of instability.

This day.

Han Xuanji opened his eyes, and a five-colored light flashed and vanished within them.

“Eternal Dao Lord… sixth layer.”

Han Xuanji whispered to himself, his tone calm, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled upward slightly.

One year for a minor Realm.

If this speed were to be leaked, it would be enough to leave countless Cultivators of the Way of Laws dumbfounded. For those Cultivators practicing the Way of Laws, which one of them didn’t spend hundreds or thousands of years to go from the fifth layer to the sixth layer? Some people are even stuck at this Bottleneck for their entire lives, unable to advance an inch until death.

This was no exaggeration.

The comprehension of every new Law required a great deal of energy, and it became increasingly difficult the further one went. Yet Han Xuanji’s speed was actually getting faster and faster.
