95: Chapter 95 Five Elements Treasure Body
Wind!
The wind had risen!
Yet it was a gentle breeze.
Accompanied by a sense of weight and pressure, this gentle breeze shimmered with crystalline light, beginning to swirl around Ji Yebai.
Puchi!
It was as if paint had been poured into the gentle breeze, and in an instant, it was filled with color.
Crimson red, bright gold, earthy yellow, deep blue, and verdant green.
Five ribbon-like streams of energy appeared within the gentle breeze.
That was the Five Elements Power.
The gentle breeze carried the Five Elements Power, swaying continuously.
Then, it slowly contracted.
Eventually, it formed a pillar of light reaching the heavens above Ji Yebai's head.
The exterior of this pillar of light was the crystalline gentle breeze, while the interior contained the five colored ribbons.
It looked quite extraordinary.
The pillar of light continued to shrink, slowly tapering like the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
And the Five Elements Power within it began to be compressed and undergo Fusion.
Until finally.
It transformed into an extremely fine, thread-like energy.
A crystalline, five-colored thread appeared, connecting to the Void Realm above and to the crown of Ji Yebai's head below.
Weng!!!
It trembled slightly.
Immediately after, five specks of light emerged beside the thread.
The specks of light circled the thread, rising continuously and growing larger.
In just a moment.
They were already the size of a millstone.
The next moment, they shot into the clouds.
The five Sacred Beasts.
Chirp!
The crimson Vermilion Bird was the first to take flight, instantly manifesting as a hundred-meter-tall Incarnation, circling high in the sky.
The other four beasts were not to be outdone.
They all manifested as hundred-meter-tall Incarnations, running and roaring.
Rumble!!!
The entire world was affected.
The magnetic field was in chaos, and electric currents flew about. Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared.
Before long, raindrops began to fall.
But the five Sacred Beasts didn't care about that. By appearing simultaneously, they activated a special bond.
They began to chase each other as if playing happily.
For a time, the sky was filled with dark clouds, rain fell incessantly, yet the colorful light from the five Sacred Beasts illuminated the world.
As they chased.
Wisps of fiery energy began to be absorbed by the Qilin Sacred Beast, and patterns began to emerge. Not only that, but the traces of energy it left behind were also absorbed by the White Tiger, and patterns were born on it as well.
It was like a cycle: the Vermilion Bird chased the Azure Dragon, the Azure Dragon chased the Black Tortoise, while the White Tiger chased after the Qilin. The Black Tortoise, helpless, moved its heavy body and ran toward the White Tiger.
Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood.
For a time, the Five Elements generated and overcame each other.
The Vermilion Bird chasing the Azure Dragon was Wood generating Fire; the energy on the Azure Dragon delighted the Vermilion Bird.
By the same logic, the other four beasts chased and frolicked.
Everything was Five Elements; everything was generating and overcoming each other.
It seemed as if a strange balance existed, allowing the five Sacred Beasts to chase, frolic, and continuously absorb while releasing energy.
They restrained yet coexisted with each other.
During this chase, wisps of strange patterns emerged on the bodies of the Sacred Beasts.
The first to be covered in them was the Qilin.
A pattern resembling mountain ranges appeared on its body; upon seeing it, one's spirit felt heavy, as if looking at a mountain.
Next was the Vermilion Bird. The Vermilion Bird spread its wings, and crimson patterns covered its entire body, like a flame burning in the Void Realm.
Then.
The Black Tortoise!
The Azure Dragon!
Finally, the White Tiger, with patterns like sharp longswords covering its entire body.
The five different patterns seemed to radiate some kind of Profound Truth, making anyone who looked at them feel it was extremely mysterious, and they couldn't help but want to lose themselves in it.
The moment the five marks were formed, Ji Yebai trembled all over.
Boom!!!
Terrifying energy exploded.
A ring of colorful energy exploded from the center of Ji Yebai, like the shockwave of a nuclear explosion, surging outwards crazily.
It was like a "Nan Madol" rampage, shaving off a layer of the entire island.
At the same time.
A soft light shone upon Ji Yebai. Radiant and crystalline.
Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes, the energy around his body dissipating.
"Did I succeed!?"
"Is this True Essence!?"
Ji Yebai carefully felt the crystalline energy filling his body.
Every wisp was stronger than a hundred wisps of his past Internal Energy.
This! This was True Essence.
For a Xiantian Martial Artist, the three treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spirit would all undergo metamorphosis. They would form Divine Sense, True Essence, and a Treasured Body.
These three things were the fundamental reasons why Xiantian experts were so powerful.
Xiantian experts absorbed powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into their flesh and blood, giving birth to an ability where flesh and blood cells coexisted with energy; it could be said they had formed a semi-energy body.
And with Divine Sense and flesh intertwined, Internal Energy was promoted to True Essence.
A single wisp of True Essence was far heavier and more powerful than a hundred wisps of a First-Class Martial Artist's Internal Energy.
A First-Class Martial Artist's Internal Energy possessed vitality and contained will, but a Xiantian Martial Artist's True Essence possessed Divine Sense; the gap between them was simply immeasurable.
To speak bluntly, even a newly ascended Xiantian Martial Artist was enough to rival a hundred First-Class Martial Artists.
Before a Xiantian Martial Artist, a First-Class Martial Artist was no better than an ant, and could be crushed to death with a single finger.
Because what made the Xiantian Realm strong was not just True Essence, but also the Treasured Body.
The Treasured Body was formed according to the energy attributes absorbed by the flesh and blood cells.
Just like Bai Zhu, who absorbed the power of Heavenly Thunder to form the Heavenly Thunder Treasured Body.
And what Ji Yebai had formed was the Five Elements Precious Body.
"Is this the Five Elements Precious Body!?"
Ji Yebai could not help himself, his expression excited.
He clearly felt the difference in his body.
Merely by hovering in mid-air, he naturally drew in the Five Elements Spiritual Qi around him, inhaling and tempering it.
Ji Yebai closed his eyes.
Everything within a range of several thousand meters was imprinted in his mind.
His Divine Sense surged, already exceeding a range of a thousand meters.
Ji Yebai moved his thought.
Seventeen hundred meters away, the air suddenly twisted, and a lifelike Black Tortoise immediately appeared.
The Black Tortoise puchi jumped into the water, dove headfirst into the deep sea, and bit onto a sea fish.
The Black Tortoise moved its four limbs, carrying the sea fish as it took to the air, rushing towards Ji Yebai.
"Changes from the heart, every move has spirit!"
Ji Yebai looked at the lifelike Black Tortoise and immediately laughed.
With a wave of his hand, the Black Tortoise dissipated. Ji Yebai slowly descended and reached out to catch the sea fish.
He extended his left hand, and a small Vermilion Bird emerged, rushing towards the sea fish.
The next moment.
"Mmm! So fragrant!"
The sea fish in Ji Yebai's hand was instantly cooked through. The aroma was mouth-watering, golden-brown.
Powerful Divine Sense and peerless True Essence allowed him to manipulate power to the extreme.
This display of roasting fish was proof of that.
...
In the sea.
The seawater rose and fell gently, like a woman's gentle hand, constantly caressing everything on the sea surface.
Ji Yebai was currently lying on a water bed, letting the seawater gently push him along.
That water bed was composed entirely of water, swaying slightly, changing its shape, but it would not dissipate.
Ji Yebai lay on it, feeling extremely comfortable.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Waves came, singing rhythmically. It was like a gentle mother singing, making one relax and feel a wave of sleepiness.
Ji Yebai seemed tired, moved his body, adjusted to a comfortable position, and slowly fell asleep.
His Divine Sense emptied, slowly rippling along with the sea waves.
The ocean was boundless, and a leaf-like water boat drifted toward the land.
