“The five schools of thought have argued for a thousand years, each claiming that their own path is the root of the Five Elements. But”
David’s tone changed, his voice suddenly became serious, “The five elements produce and restrain each other, and are essentially one whole. Forcibly separating them is like cutting a person into five parts; each part claims to be a person, but has lost the meaning of its wholeness.”
Elder Jin said sternly, “You stupid boy, what do you know! Metal is the first of the five elements, and war and killing are the basic principles of the Great Path!”
“Nonsense!”
Elder Huo slammed his fist on the table and stood up. “Gold melts when it meets fire! The blazing fire burns the sky and purifies everything. This is the ultimate truth!”
“The way is to make water and fire complement each other!” The Elder of the Water Vein sneered.
“Wood can stabilize the soil, and soil can produce metal. What do you know?” the Earth Vein Elder replied in a challenging tone.
Although Elder Mu did not speak, his eyes radiated blue light, which clearly showed that he did not agree with the other bloodlines.
Seeing that the debate was about to heat up again, David suddenly stepped forward.
With that step, the air in the entire Five Elements Hall seemed to freeze.
He closed his eyes and slowly raised both hands, palms facing up.
A beam of chaotic light shone from between his eyebrows. This was not the small-scale demonstration shown previously, but rather a true detachment from one’s origins!
“Buzzing”
A deep humming sound came from David’s body, as if an ancient creature was awakening.
A ball of blazing white golden light appeared in his left palm, and a ball of green wood light appeared in his right palm.
Blue water gushed from beneath his left foot, while fiery red flames emerged from beneath his right foot.
In the center of his chest, a thick yellow-brown light slowly rotated.
The power of the five elements manifested simultaneously!
“This how is this possible?” The five elders stood up in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The Way of the Five Elements is so profound that it is rare for ordinary people to master one of them, and to master two of them is to become a genius. Those who master all three are one in ten thousand people.
Currently, David truly controlled the full power of the five elements, and there was no conflict between them. Instead, they blend harmoniously!
But this is just the beginning.
David took a deep breath, and the chaotic immortal power within his body surged out!
The chaotic immortal power, like the most skilled balancer, surged into the power of the five elements.
The five colors of light, which originally stood alone, began to mix and merge with each other.
The golden light merged with the water ripples, turning into flowing golden water; the water nourishes the glow of the wood, and the glow of the wood grows patterns of flame; the flame burned and turned to ashes, and the ashes settled into thick earth; from within that thick soil, a new golden light was born
The five elements generated each other and rotated endlessly, forming a perfect halo with a diameter of three zhang around David!
What’s even more amazing is that this halo does not stand still, but continues to rotate and evolve.
Sometimes the metal element was at its peak, turning into countless sword energies; sometimes fire spreads like wild fire, scorching the sky and boiling the sea; sometimes the water overflows and covers everything. The five elements change at will.
Within the main hall, all the Five Element Sect disciples felt the Five Elements spiritual power within their bodies resonate and vibrate, as if they had encountered a supreme being like a king.
Jin Buhuan’s eyes sparkled brightly as he stared intently at the Five Elements Light Wheel, his breathing quickening.
David opened his eyes, his eyes filled with five colors before finally turning into a chaotic gray.
“The debate about the Five Elements is ridiculous.”
His voice was calm, but it resounded like thunder in everyone’s hearts: “Why can’t gold be soft? Why can’t water be hard? Why can’t fire burn? Why can’t earth be sharp? Why can’t wood be strong?”
With every question he asked, the Five Elements Light Wheel would bring up a scene that defied common sense.
The golden light turned into flowing soft silk threads, twining and turning around the fingers; the water ripples condensed into a sharp ice sword, its tip fully visible; red lotuses bloom amidst the flames, full of life; the thick earth rises into an illusory image of mountains, piercing the clouds; and the surface of the ancient wood displays a metallic sheen, making it indestructible.
“The five elements are neither superior nor inferior; their application depends on the mind of each individual.”
David withdrew his hand, and the Five Elements Light Wheel slowly converged, finally turning into five grains of light the size of pigeon eggs, floating above his palm and spinning rapidly. “Fixing on one element or one path is nothing more than drawing circles around your head. The true Great Path of the Five Elements is”
