150: Chapter 150 Advancement to a Fifth-Rank Sect, Perfect Nascent Soul Stage

Moonshadow Grotto-Heaven, a barren land.

Ling Hao brought Luo Qianxue, who had just entered the Grotto-Heaven, onto a vast, barren land. Beneath their feet was cold rock, and in the distance, swirling currents of Chaos Qi.

"Close your eyes and focus your mind."

Ling Hao's voice was gentle as he lightly tapped the center of Luo Qianxue's smooth brow with his fingertip.

A massive and profound flow of information instantly surged into her Sea of Consciousness — the Yin-Yang Aperture Drilling Method!

"Use the body as a chisel to break the Grandmist, let spirit and flesh intertwine to reshape the universe!"

The aphorism sounded like thunder, shaking her Divine Soul. Luo Qianxue opened her eyes abruptly, a flush rising to her cheeks. She looked away shyly, yet her gaze was burning, filled with trust for her Sect Master.

Ling Hao's gaze was deep. "The Cultivation Technique has been imparted, the Dao diagram has been read; are you ready?"

Luo Qianxue took a deep breath, her voice trembling but firm: "This Disciple is ready."

"Good." Ling Hao nodded and flicked his sleeve. A point of soft spiritual light flew from his fingertip, landing on the barren ground beside them.

In an instant, a patch of soft grass exuding the fresh scent of greenery appeared out of thin air, like an oasis blooming in the desert.

Ling Hao stepped onto the grass and reached out a hand to her, a smile playing on his lips: "Then, let us begin to sit."

A double entendre that laid bare the true meaning.

Luo Qianxue shyly placed her hand in his palm, obediently following him into this small world that belonged only to the two of them, allowing herself to be guided down.

The moment their skin touched and their Qi mingled, the Yin-Yang Aperture Drilling Method roared into operation!

From Luo Qianxue's body, dense and heavy Earth-element Five Elements Qi surged forth, condensing and rising behind her to form a towering, sacred snow mountain.

Around Ling Hao, intense and domineering Fire-element Five Elements Qi erupted, and a torrent of dark red lava appeared.

The lava torrent enveloped the towering snow mountain, the intense Fire-element power calcining the ten-thousand-year black ice on the Peak and the hard metal ore veins deep within the mountain.

Under the continuous tempering of the supreme Yang fire, the ore veins gradually melted, turning into crimson gold spiritual liquid containing Sharp Metal Qi.

Ling Hao gently pulled the unsteady Luo Qianxue into his arms.

"Close your eyes; I will guide the Five Elements Qi within you."

Luo Qianxue, with her back to Ling Hao, let out a soft breath and tilted her head back.

"Mn..."

Luo Qianxue followed his instructions and operated the Cultivation Technique. Under Ling Hao's guidance and her own mental urging, pure Wood-element Qi surged forth, transforming into a vibrant, verdant radiance that converged with the Water-element Qi Ling Hao had guided over.

The Water-element Qi flowed gently, nourishing the Wood-element vitality and making it flourish even more.

Driven by this, the Water-element Origin within Luo Qianxue also resonated and surged, gathering into a clear spiritual stream that flowed toward the low-lying areas, settling into a tranquil spiritual lake.

"Thick earth carries all things, stabilize the Foundation!" Ling Hao reminded her at the right moment.

"Under—understood."

Luo Qianxue immediately mobilized her own thick Earth-element power. The dense and heavy Earth Qi spread out, instantly transforming into solid, vast land, supporting the flowing spiritual stream and the rippling spiritual lake.

Ling Hao also drew upon his own Wood-element Qi, merging it with Luo Qianxue's Earth-element power. The Wood-element Qi poured into the earth, spawning phantom images of lush, verdant vegetation. The vigorous vitality, nourished by the fertile soil and the spiritual stream and lake, continued to grow.

At this point, the Five Elements Qi were all manifested: calcining lava (Fire), molten metal liquid (Metal), towering snow mountain (Earth), gentle spiritual stream and lake (Water), and flourishing vegetation (Wood).

Fire generates Earth (lava calcining strengthens the mountain's Origin), Earth generates Metal (the mountain body nurtures the essence of ore veins), Metal generates Water (the melting of metal Qi triggers the flow of Water-element), Water generates Wood (water marshes nourish the vitality of vegetation), and Wood generates Fire (the vitality of vegetation fuels the power of Fire-element)!

Fire melts ore veins, water vapor rises, rain hits banana leaves, thick earth absorbs rain... The five Origin energies were tightly connected, forming a perfect, cyclical, and endless grand energy field!

As the energy flow of the entire field accelerated, a vast power capable of splitting the heavens and earth was frantically brewing and accumulating within this resonance, where the Five Elements rotation had reached its Peak.

When the resonance of the Five Elements rotation reached its absolute apex, BOOM — the five-colored barren land beneath Ling Hao, symbolizing Luo Qianxue's Origin, suddenly tore open, revealing a massive five-colored chasm spanning the Void Realm.

Gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow — five-colored radiance erupted like boiling lava.

The churning Chaos Qi in the distance hung like an inverted celestial river, transforming into a turbid and majestic waterfall that surged and poured into the newly born rift below.

The Chaos water (Qi) surged in, instantly filling the winding chasm. The majestic energy did not stop but spread rapidly up along the gullies, eventually weaving into a shimmering, colorful five-element energy barrier above the wasteland.

Inside the inverted bowl-shaped barrier, the surging Chaos waterfall continued to pour, then poured intermittently, and finally gradually calmed down, turning into an Origin spiritual spring that nourished all things. Where the waterfall flowed, the phantom image of a miniature world was slowly condensing and taking shape beneath the barrier.

The molten metal liquid combined with the rocks, turning into undulating crimson gold ore mountains. The snow mountain base was stable, and the ten-thousand-year black ice on it was melted by fire, moistening the entire mountain body.

The phantom vegetation absorbed the Chaotic Spiritual Qi, transforming into the prototype of a lush forest, and gentle streams converged to form winding, clear rivers and lakes, flowing past the vigorous vegetation at the foot of the mountain.

Deep within the mountain's earth veins, the residual heat of the lava remained, forming a dark purple geothermal lava belt.

This was the prototype of the exclusive Five Elements Spiritual Domain, opened up by Luo Qianxue within the Chaos, using her own Five Elements Qi as the Foundation, under Ling Hao's guidance!

The barrier isolated the Chaos, and within it, the Five Elements energy flowed endlessly. The mountains and landscapes had begun to take shape, filled with a primitive and pure energy rhythm. Although there was no true life, it had already begun to nurture endless possibilities of creation.

The Chaos storm gradually subsided, leaving a lingering aftertaste. Ling Hao and Luo Qianxue embraced on the soft grass. Luo Qianxue curled up in her Sect Master's arms, sweat hanging on her eyelashes, but a satisfied and devout smile on her lips. A faint five-element spiritual light mark on her brow flashed and vanished.

This five-element spiritual light mark was the medium connecting Luo Qianxue to the Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Domain.

"Ding! Detected that Luo Qianxue's loyalty has reached 100%, triggering Heaven-Defying Fate Change! Mortal body transformed and evolved into a Five Elements Dao Body!"

"Ding! Detected that the Fifth-Grade Sect promotion mission has been completed! Sect Master's Realm has been raised to the tenth layer of Soul Transformation!"

Luo Qianxue looked up at the floating phantom of the Spiritual Domain: crimson gold mountains, black ice snow Peaks, winding rivers, lush forest shadows, dark red earth veins... A prototype outlined by energy, magnificent and imposing.

"This... is this my Spiritual Domain?"

"Correct." Ling Hao gently brushed her temple and affirmed, "Using your Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root as the Foundation, opened up by borrowing the Grotto-Heaven and secret techniques. From now on, you are the Dominator of this nascent small world."

He paused, "More importantly, within the coverage of my Grotto-Heaven projection, you can borrow its power..."

"To raise your Realm by one major level!"

Luo Qianxue's eyes burst with wild joy! Seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, temporarily able to reach the seventh layer of Golden Core! The immense excitement made her unable to help but rub against Ling Hao in his arms, her small hands unconsciously gripping his lapels and shaking them.

Feeling her joy and reliance, Ling Hao smiled in his eyes and gently pressed her restless hands: "Alright, opening the Spiritual Domain today has exhausted your mind. After the excitement, you will surely feel fatigued."

Luo Qianxue indeed felt a deep wave of fatigue wash over her, her body going limp, but her eyes remained lingering and attached.

"Go back and rest first, stabilize your Realm, and nourish the Spiritual Domain." Ling Hao gently patted her back.

"But..." A thick sense of reluctance filled Luo Qianxue's eyes.

"Rest assured."

Ling Hao gently stroked the spot on her brow where the spiritual light mark had faded, "The Spiritual Domain is formed, and the connection is permanent. There will be plenty of time in the future; there will be more opportunities later."

This promise made Luo Qianxue's cheeks flush slightly, and her heart settled. She reluctantly stood up, adjusted her dress, and bowed deeply: "This Disciple obeys, thank you, Sect Master!" Only then did she leave, looking back every few steps.

Watching her disappear, Ling Hao exhaled lightly, suppressing his gentleness. With a thought, the System interface unfolded. "Let me see what new changes there are..."

... Ah ah... The failing author has already immersed himself in his own art, unable to extricate himself.
