17: Comprehend the Five Elements, Reach the East Sea

Taiqing did not intend to follow the path of a single Law.

Although progress on a single Law path is fast, its strength is limited.

With the Heavenly Dao pressing down from above and Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods like Hongjun watching like tigers eyeing their prey.

Limited strength is weakness, and in the Primordial World, weakness is the original sin.

Furthermore, Taiqing followed the Dao of Non-Action, taking all things in the Primordial Heaven and Earth as his teachers; as long as it was useful to him, he would comprehend it.

This was Taiqing's Dao of Non-Action: all things are for my use.

Now, Taiqing felt that mastering the Five Elements Law and possessing both Yin Yang and Five Elements was the only way to go far.

He did not hesitate and directly began to comprehend the Five Elements Law.

The Five Elements Law is neither hard nor easy to say.

What Taiqing wanted to master was the Innate Five Elements Law, not a single element's Law.

The Innate Five Elements Law is the Innate Law formed after the individual Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are combined into one.

The Five Elements Law mastered by the Five Elements Ancestor was this very Innate Five Elements Law.

Taiqing needed to master the individual Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth before he could fuse them to comprehend the Innate Five Elements Law.

The difficulty lay in comprehending each single element's Law, fusing them into one, and then comprehending the Innate Five Elements Law.

Other beings, at most, would reach their limit after mastering one or two Laws.

The single Five Elements Laws consist of five types, and fusing them makes six.

One can imagine the difficulty.

This was also why the Five Elements Law could rank among the top ten of the Three Thousand Laws.

It was called simple because all things in the Primordial World possess the Five Elements.

To comprehend a single Five Elements Law, one could smoothly do so directly from all living beings in the Primordial World.

In the Primordial World, beings who mastered a single element of the Five Elements were the most numerous.

While Taiqing comprehended the Law, the Ink Jade Qilin carried him, rushing all the way toward the East Sea.

Now that the Three Clans had gone into seclusion and the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity had ended, the Primordial World had once again fallen into peace and tranquility.

They didn't encounter many obstacles along the way.

After all, the Three Clans had all hidden away, and the elite forces of the myriad clans had been lost in the great battle at Mount Sumeru.

In the current Primordial World, experts were pitifully scarce.

Aside from the Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods like Ancestor Yang Mei and the Five Elements Ancestor who were in secluded cultivation.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal placed in the current Primordial World would be considered a top-tier powerhouse on the surface.

The duo of Taiqing and the Ink Jade Qilin was something no living being in the current Primordial World dared to provoke.

Even if there were, they could be easily dealt with.

The distance from Mount Buzhou to the East Sea was far beyond imagination.

At the speed of the Ink Jade Qilin's Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, even while traveling at full speed continuously.

It actually took a full four or five Yuanhuis to travel from the foot of Mount Buzhou to the Shore of the East Sea.

“Great Master, we have reached the Shore of the East Sea. Where should we head next?”

Having traveled at full speed for four or five Yuanhuis, even the Ink Jade Qilin was a bit exhausted.

His aura was much lower compared to when he first met Taiqing at Mount Buzhou.

“Phew~”

On the back of the Ink Jade Qilin, Taiqing exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, and his eyes slowly opened.

In his eyes, five colors flashed.

Those five colors represented the five Laws.

During these four or five Yuanhuis, Taiqing had been meditating and comprehending the Law on the back of the Ink Jade Qilin.

Hard work pays off; he had already comprehended each of the individual Five Elements Laws.

Furthermore, he had comprehended each of the individual Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

He only needed to unify the Five Elements to comprehend the Innate Five Elements Law.

Taiqing couldn't help but marvel at his own Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability.

If it were any other being in the Primordial World, let alone comprehending five Laws and bringing them all to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

In four or five Yuanhuis, other beings who could take just one of the individual Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth...

...and comprehend it to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm could already be called exceptionally gifted.

“Could it be that Father Pangu's marrow essence enhanced my Comprehension Ability?”

Taiqing clearly felt that his Comprehension Ability was much stronger than before.

Although his Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying before, wanting to comprehend the individual Five Elements Laws to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm...

...would likely have taken at least ten Yuanhuis or more.

It wasn't like now, after refining the pangu marrow essence, where his Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying to this extent.

During these four or five Yuanhuis, he had been carried around everywhere by the Ink Jade Qilin.

Such an environment was even less conducive to calming the mind to comprehend the Law.

“It seems I still underestimated the effect of Father Pangu's marrow essence.

Not only did it cleanse my Foundation, allowing me to possess a Physical Body as powerful as my brothers and sisters of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

It also invisibly enhanced my Comprehension Ability.”

After truly experiencing the power of the pangu marrow essence, Taiqing marveled that it was truly a great Opportunity.

Taiqing eagerly looked forward to returning early.

So that Yu Qing , Shang Qing, and Shangqing Lingbao could refine the pangu marrow essence sooner.

Furthermore, after the Twelve Ancestral Witches were born, if he let them refine the pangu marrow essence, the Twelve Ancestral Witches might even be able to give birth to a Primordial Spirit.

Or rather, preserve a Primordial Spirit.

“You've worked hard, Ink Jade Qilin. From now on, there's no need to travel at full speed.

Head in that direction; I have a premonition that we should find something there.”

Although the Ink Jade Qilin was already his mount, Taiqing still had to say some polite words.

After all, in the future, the Ink Jade Qilin would also represent his prestige.

Just like a man's mount, riding it out is a matter of prestige.

Taiqing pointed in a direction; he wasn't pointing randomly, but followed the direction of the Three Immortal Islands from his memory.

Furthermore, a vague sensation faintly emanated from Taiqing's Primordial Spirit.

In the direction he pointed, something was attracting him to go there.

However, that attraction was very weak.

So weak that if Taiqing hadn't already intended to head in that direction and carefully sensed his Primordial Spirit's state, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.

“As you command, Great Master.”

With Taiqing's words of hard work, the Ink Jade Qilin felt that all his hard work over these many Yuanhuis was worth it.

In this Primordial World where strength is respected, which superior would treat the beings beneath them as living beings?

Based on this alone, the Ink Jade Qilin felt that he had not been wrong when Clan Chief First Qilin dispatched him to follow Taiqing.

Before the Ink Jade Qilin could carry Taiqing toward that direction.

Waves rose in the East Sea, and a voice came from within those waves.

“Great Master, this small dragon Ao Jiang has been waiting here for a long time. Please accept this small dragon.

This small dragon is willing to follow Great Master's orders; wherever you point, I shall not fail to follow.”

From within those waves, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon leaped out, then transformed into a dao body and knelt before Taiqing.

The sincerity on his face did not seem fake.

His entire cultivation was impressively at the same Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal level as the Ink Jade Qilin.

“Ao Jiang? Are you also here to repay this seat's Karma?”

Having already experienced the matter with the Ink Jade Qilin, when Taiqing saw this Five-clawed Golden Dragon appear, he immediately thought of the Ink Jade Qilin's previous words.

The Ink Jade Qilin had said before that he saved the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans.

The Qilin Clan had already dispatched a Junior from the clan to repay the Karma.

As the strongest among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans, it was impossible for the Dragon Clan to have no gesture.

Sure enough, Ao Jiang's answer confirmed Taiqing's guess.

“Reporting to Great Master, Ao Jiang has indeed come to repay the Karma.

Please accept this small dragon, Great Master; I am willing to serve as a means of travel for Great Master.”

Ao Jiang reported truthfully.
