Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 545 - 544: Five Elements Combat Method_1

After confirming the positions, the Elder of Passing Skills led the five outside the room and let them stand in the positions they had previously determined according to the five elements. Subsequently, with his hands behind his back, he said in a loud voice:

"To achieve a high degree of cooperation, we must first know ourselves and each other."

"The five of you are of similar age and have similar realms, which will make this step easier."

"Release your aura, each of you should carefully perceive the realm of the other four."

Lu Yang and the others sat cross-legged, closing their eyes in concentration, releasing their aura, and perceiving the dynamics around them with their spiritual sense.

"Hm? Such a powerful spiritual sense," the Elder of Passing Skills gave a light gasp, noticing that the spiritual senses of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were the most noticeable and obviously much stronger than the others.

Moreover, Lu Yang’s spiritual sense was even stronger than Meng Jingzhou’s, with a clear difference.

"Spiritual sense is the hardest to cultivate, and so far, I haven’t heard of any method to cultivate spiritual sense at this stage. How did these two kids cultivate it?"

"Sure, Meng Jingzhou is a Single Body Spiritual Root, the data given to me by Seek Dao Sect also shows he has achieved the unprecedented Double Single Golden Core, abundant in Yang Qi and desires. As a Single Body Spiritual Root, he should always suppress his desires. In this kind of tempering, it makes sense that his spiritual sense is strong."

"What about Lu Yang? Is it Yun Zhi’s secret method? Or was it a method Old Buyu came up with by pure chance?"

Lu Yang, tormented by Fairy Eternity, was particularly good with spiritual sense, his touch was very sensitive. Without hiding his aura, he could sense the condition of his three junior brothers and his grandson.

All four had cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Core; even Li Haoran, who had been delayed for a year by soaking in magma during the Qi Refinement stage, had finally managed to catch up with the others before setting out.

Lu Yang also perceived the vigorous Qi and Blood and Yang Qi of Meng Jingzhou. Just a glance could burn everyday ghosts, which was incredibly terrifying.

Of course, not all ghosts feared Meng Jingzhou; Fairy Eternity, for example, had no fear of him whatsoever.

About an hour later, everyone opened their eyes, having ascertained the others’ details.

"Now for the second step, the transmission of spiritual essence."

The Elder of Passing Skills asked the five to line up in the order of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Starting with Man Gu, they placed their hands on the back of Li Haoran and began transmitting their spiritual essence. This continued in the same fashion, and finally, Tao Yaoye transmitted all of her spiritual essence, along with the others, to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang’s eyes turned red instantly. Despite being prepared, the sudden influx of powerful spiritual essence still caught him off guard, the power reaching the limit of what he could withstand.

"Release it all!" the Elder of Passing Skills shouted.

Lu Yang pulled out the Green Peak Sword, and his spirit and energy combined as one. The sword Qi, like a bright whip, soared in an instant.

"Slice!"

The spiritual essence of the five transformed into sword Qi, like a breaking dam, it poured downward.

Bang!

A ten-meter-long sword Qi cut through the air like a waterfall, carrying an endless power as it slammed into the pond. Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed, the huge roar was deafening, and a massive crack opened up on the ground.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh-

After releasing this sword, all five were drained of spiritual essence to the last drop, their legs trembling as they sat on the floor. They looked at the crack in the ground, giggling foolishly.

Even Lu Yang was amazed at the power of that strike, the strongest he had ever made to date.

"Did you see that sword of mine? I knew this sword would definitely have this kind of power!"

"What does your sword count for? The aura that Man Gu and Li Haoran transmitted almost overwhelmed me. I used the Nirvana True Fire to restore my meridians while dispersing the power!"

"Man Gu, you transmitted too much spiritual essence."

"I was just trying to make it more powerful."

The five discussed in high spirits, their faces full of excited smiles, as they each recounted the process of their previous attacks.

The Elder of Passing Skills gave each of them a bottle of Great Recovery Pill and nodded in satisfaction, "For a first combined attack, that sword strike was quite good. Your next goal is to keep some reserve and not release all your spiritual essence at once."

"The Five Elements Battle Technique has been around for a long time. Elder Song and the other Five Veins Elders have used it frequently, even them, has only exerted a full power strike seven or eight times. Those were desperate times when they did not leave themselves any way out."

"Did they encounter a strong enemy?"

"They encountered your Seek Dao Sect Elders."

"..."

"Oh, and Old Buyu as well," the Elder of Passing Skills added an important figure.

"..."

The Elder of Passing Skills clicked his teeth, shaking at the memory of the attack back then.

It was truly exciting.

"Did Sect Leader cause trouble again?" Tao Yaoye asked.

To make the Five Veins Elders use a full power strike of the Five Elements Battle Technique, the grudge must be huge.

"It would have been seven or eight hundred years ago. Old Buyu took you Fifth and Eighth Elders to the Golden Buddha Kingdom and built a temple. I’m not sure if it was legal or not, but the temple was built."

"The temple’s incense was particularly prosperous, probably due to some marketing technique, and there were many pilgrims."

Tao Yaoye was still confused: "What’s the problem?"

"The problem was Old Buyu named the temple ’Five Visceral Temples’, and inside were placed statues of Elder Song and the other four. This made the Buddha Country think that our Five Elements Sect was trying to steal their business, and they almost issued an international arrest warrant with the imperial court."

"Fortunately, Old Qiu took action in time to clarify the situation and explain the cause."

"When Old Buyu was being beaten, he said that they were carrying out an experiment to see if Elder Song and the other four could feel the faith."

Seeing the powerful sword strike of Lu Yang, Fairy Eternity smiled with interest: "This Five Elements Battle Technique has some merit, it’s creative, Immortal Jiuchong developed something similar."

A chill rose in Lu Yang’s heart. He had experienced the power of the Five Elements Battle Technique and it truly was formidable. As an immortal, Immortal Jiuchong had a broader perspective. What kind of powerful technique he had created!

"Please, Fairy, elaborate."

"Back when the Five Immortals of the Ancients and I had an exchange meeting to share our cultivation experiences, Immortal Jiuchong raised an idea. He proposed to combine Yin, Yang and the Five Elements to provide reference for future generations. If they could comprehend the mystery therein, they would surely make significant progress in the field of Yin, Yang and the Five Elements."

"Did Immortal Jiuchong succeed?" asked Lu Yang eagerly.

"Yes, it resulted in the game of Go. Haven’t you played it?"

Lu Yang: "..."

Once the five had recovered sufficiently, the Elder of Passing Skills continued to have them transmit their spiritual essence with Lu Yang releasing it. However, they had to hold back, not like the first time when they were completely drained.

After several repetitions, the five quickly gained control of the amount of spiritual essence they were transmitting.

"Next is the third step, stand in line again according to the order you just stood in, forming a circle, and Lu Yang, you stand behind Man Gu."

"All five of you should transmit your spiritual essence to the person in front of you, control your speed and the amount of spiritual essence. If the speed is too fast or the amount is too large, the person in front won’t be able to bear it."
