The reason why Wutan chose to return to the Bloody Altar was because the deadline for Zhuang Luochen and the other four had not yet arrived. If he went out at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion from others.
It's only half a year. For a cultivator, a retreat takes more than this time. Wutan can still wait, and he also wants to take this opportunity to comprehend the imperial killing ban.
After returning to the bloody altar, Wutan ignored Shishi and Cangzheng who were wandering around, and sat cross-legged on the ground. After pondering for a while, he took out a few little guys from his arms and whispered a few words in their ears.
The Bird Saint Thief smiled and said, "What reward are you going to give us?"
The little fellow cursed: "Get lost! The emperor asked you to do such a small thing and you asked for payment. Are you still a human being?"
Bird Saint said as a matter of course: "Grandpa Bird Saint is not a human being. Besides, he is the one who asked us to help him. We are not the ones who are paying for it. We must give him some benefits!"
"If you don't leave, don't blame me for stripping you of all your feathers." The little guy raised his little paws and threatened.
"Just go, why are you so fierce? Really, I'm not asking you for anything, why are you so picky? Besides, I want benefits, but I won't keep them all to myself, everyone will get a share. Your kindness is really taken for granted." The Bird Saint reluctantly spread his wings and soared into the sky, complaining in his beak.
The little fellow chased after it, hooked its neck, and said meaningfully: "Actually, Frog Master knows that you have good intentions, but you have to know that it is disloyal, immoral, and heartless for one's own people to blackmail one's own people, so we should unite against the outside world and harm outsiders. You see, the Dark City is so big, and harming any place is enough for us to make a lot of money. What do you think? Everyone, tell me, does what Frog Master said make sense?"
"That's a wise saying, Frog Boss! Okay, Grandpa Bird Saint, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say."
"Yes! Following Boss Frog, there is a bright future ahead!"
Several beasts nodded, flattered the little fellow, and followed his lead.
After the little guys left noisily, Wutan took out the essence of gold and prepared to refine it.
To be honest, Wutan was not very eager for the Five Elements Holy Body.
He possesses the earth veins and the Heaven-Destroying War Body, which makes him countless times stronger than the Five Elements Holy Body. What Wutan desires is the soul. With one more spiritual body, he can cultivate one more soul, which is equivalent to one more life.
Sensing the breath of the gold essence, Cang Zheng immediately looked at him coldly with an aggressive gaze, but Wutan was not moved at all and directly stuffed the gold essence into his mouth. With a humming sound, a brilliant golden aura suddenly evaporated from his body surface, and the other four elemental powers also emerged one after another.
For a moment, Wutan was enveloped in five-colored divine light, as if he was the reincarnation of the Elemental Lord. He was overflowing with rosy clouds and shining with divine light. He exuded a ethereal and otherworldly temperament, as if he was about to ascend to heaven!
Meanwhile, within Wujitian's sea of qi, earth-shaking changes were also taking place. The fire element's soul was sitting cross-legged in the center of the sea of qi, and its appearance was still the same as before, with not much change.
Next to it, there were three Yuandans as big as pebbles, emitting a hazy glow and with tiny, imperceptible cracks on their surfaces. This was clearly a sign that the Yuanshen was about to be born.
And below it, there was a golden ocean, like gold foil, with ripples and brilliant light. Suddenly, the fire element's soul opened its eyes, and its pupils were like flames condensed, shining brightly and awe-inspiring!
Swish!
He just waved his hand, and the golden power below surged up. In an instant, a golden Yuandan condensed and hovered next to the earth element Yuandan.
"Is this the law of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements?" Wu Tian was surprised.
It started with the Earth Elemental Pill, followed by the Gold Elemental Pill, then the Water Elemental Pill, then the Wood Elemental Pill, and finally the Fire Elemental Pill. They were all suspended in the center of the Qi Sea, forming a circle.
This arrangement happens to be the law of the mutual generation and development of the five elements: earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth.
Wutan was extremely puzzled. For a long time, the Fire Elemental Spirit had not made any movement. However, after activating the Golden Spirit Body, it actually took the initiative to attack and arranged the other elemental elixirs into this formation. What was he trying to do
Soon, Wutan got the answer. He saw the other four elemental elixirs continuously releasing elemental power and converging towards the fire elemental soul, and as a result, they were all absorbed into his body.
Seeing this scene, Wutan couldn't help but want to laugh. It turned out that the fire element soul had come up with this trick. He used the law of the five elements to take all the power of the other elements for himself and allow him to grow.
"What a cunning boy."
Wutan shook his head and laughed. Just because he could absorb all elemental energy didn’t mean his soul could do it too. That’s why when the Five Elements Holy Body was activated, the fire element’s soul couldn’t help but take action and plunder the power of other elements.
In this case, there is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that the growth of the fire element soul will be five times faster than before, and the disadvantage is obvious. If the other four element souls want to be born, they will have to wait until the fire element soul grows up, unless Wutan takes the initiative to stop it.
"Hey! What is this?" Wutan's attention was all focused on his qi sea, but he didn't notice that, at some point, five more talismans appeared in his sea of consciousness!
"Five talismans, could it be... could it be five kinds of magical powers?"
Wu Tian was extremely surprised and was about to concentrate his mind to check it out, but he didn't expect that a red fire-colored talisman suddenly disappeared from his sea of consciousness, and the next moment appeared in his sea of qi, and directly merged into the crown of the fire element's soul, and never appeared again after that.
"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Wutan was shocked, but at a loss. He had no idea what to do. It was impossible for him to split the head of the fire element's spirit and take it out to see clearly!
"This is the Hunyuan Five Elements Technique. It is the inheritance that your father left for you. It is also the only thing that your father can leave for you..."
A calm and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in Wutan's mind.
Hearing this voice, Wutan's body trembled suddenly, and then shook violently, his heart was like a raging sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Even the elemental power in his body became violent at this moment, as if he was about to go crazy!
All of this was not because of any Hunyuan Five Elements Technique, nor because of any inheritance, but because of two words. Yes, two words. These two words were like two nine-day divine thunders striking his sea of consciousness, rumbling!
And these two words are exactly - father!
What is being a father
That was how a father referred to himself in front of his child, and the voice at this moment actually contained these two words, which meant that the owner of this voice was actually his father!
"Father? Father, is that you? Father, where are you..."
At this moment, Wutan was more nervous than ever. He shouted frantically in his heart, but there was no response. He searched his sea of consciousness, sea of qi, and every cell in his body, but found no figure!
He suddenly opened his eyes, and two bright rays of light flashed in Wutan's eyes. He looked around, but still didn't see any strange figures. Then he soared into the air, hovering high in the sky, searching every inch of the earth with his eyes as sharp as torches, even every bush, but in the end he still found nothing!
"Brother, what's going on?"
Shishi stood by the waterfall, looking at the figure floating in the sky, doubt suddenly appeared in her eyes, and more of it was worry, because she clearly felt that her brother's emotions were very confused at the moment, panicked, nervous, and uneasy, and his breath was also very disordered.
"What the hell is that bastard doing?"
Cang Zheng frowned. Wutan at this moment gave him a very strange feeling. There seemed to be despair in his hope, and disappointment in his desire. He was like a lost child who could not return home.
Wutan was truly disappointed in his heart, even depressed to the extreme. After so many years of anticipation, searching and hard work, he finally got what he wanted, but only a voice without emotion came out.
That's right, there was no emotion in this voice, it was like a stranger speaking to a stranger.
"Father, where are you? Can you give me a hint? I have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask you. Can you come and see me?"
Wutan stood in the void, gazing into the distance with lifeless eyes, muttering to himself. The voice in his mind continued, explaining the mysteries of the Hunyuan Five Elements Technique, but he didn't want to listen. He really didn't want to listen. He just wanted to see the parents who gave birth to him but abandoned him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Shishi stood beside him, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Don't worry! I'm fine."
Wutan shook his head slightly without further explanation. He stood beside the altar with an extremely lonely look on his face. He was stunned for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, remaining silent.
The voice has disappeared from his mind, and everything has returned to calm, as if it had never happened. Wutan finally understood that this was just a long-forgotten voice. When he opened the Five Elements Holy Body, some shackles were opened, allowing the voice to be released.
After an unknown amount of time, Wutan's mind finally calmed down and he began to recall what his father had said.
Although he didn't listen intentionally at the time, he still remembered it instinctively. Now that he recalled it, he quickly understood everything his father said.
It was just a few simple sentences, all about the Hunyuan Five Elements Technique. Not a single word of concern or greeting was left for him. Wutan was extremely disappointed.
However, he was not discouraged, nor did he give up. On the contrary, Wutan became more and more eager, because he had many questions in his mind and he wanted to get these answers.
After calming his mind, Wutian looked at his sea of qi and the fire element's soul, and felt strange in his heart.
From the words left by his father, he learned that the Hunyuan Five Elements Technique was nominally passed down to him, but in fact it was passed down to the primordial spirit, because the Hunyuan Five Elements Technique is a magical power specially created for the primordial spirit, and the original body cannot practice it at all.
This is the strange thing about Wutan. According to his understanding, only the original body has it, and the soul has it. He believes that people from the five continents all think so. However, the Hunyuan Five Elements Technique left by his father completely violates common sense and is beyond his understanding.
