Chapter 35: Transmitting the Great Five Elements Technique to Willow Deity
The vast ruins exuded an ancient, vicissitudinous aura, and the shattered tiles spoke of past glory. Shi Jian appeared in the ruins from before. Though also a part of the Virtual God Realm, these ruins were separated from many blessed lands and existed independently. A towering willow tree was rooted in the ruins, absorbing mist and condensing Chaos Qi.
"Willow Deity, I have returned!" Shi Jian walked towards Willow Deity.
Willow Deity awoke from a special cultivation state, and she was surprised to see Shi Jian return so quickly. "Why have you returned so soon? With your strength, you should have gained more experience there!"
Shi Jian smiled upon hearing this: "The Initial Land offers me little to no training effect. I plan to challenge those Archaic Vicious Beasts in the Great Wilderness!"
"Why?" Willow Deity asked, her voice calm and serene.
Shi Jian calmly replied: "No one is my match!"
"Ah!" Willow Deity was surprised; she, who was usually calm and composed, seemed to have experienced some emotional fluctuation. With Shi Jian's cultivation at the Power of Extremes of the Blood Moving Realm, although he could dominate the Initial Land, it shouldn't be to the extent of being invincible against everyone, right?
Shi Jian didn't explain. He simply swung his arms and unleashed a punch towards the distant ruins. The scorching runes on his body shone like the sun. With just one punch, deep gouges appeared on the ruins before him. Large cracks spread. The distant rocks turned to dust under the terrifying force of his punch.
Willow Deity grew serious. She asked: "What kind of treasured art is this?"
"Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist!" Shi Jian replied.
"Your strength far exceeds one hundred thousand jin!" "I broke the record of the Power of Extremes at two hundred thousand jin in the Initial Land!"
Willow Deity fell silent. Two hundred thousand jin at the Power of Extremes of the Blood Moving Realm? Unheard of. Shi Jian's ability to Breakthrough to the Power of Extremes of the Blood Moving Realm in such a short time was already astonishing enough for Willow Deity.
She hadn't expected Shi Jian to possess a foundational Divine Power of two hundred thousand jin while still in the Blood Moving Realm. Even more terrifying was his profound cultivation of runes. He also mastered an unknown treasured art. Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist!
Willow Deity carefully recalled information about this treasured art in her mind, but she found nothing. With her discerning eye, she could naturally see the power of this art. Logically, even if she had lost some memories, she should have some impression of such a terrifying art.
For a long time, Willow Deity did not speak. She seemed to be thinking, or perhaps spacing out, only her five willow branches continuously absorbed essence from the Void Realm.
Shi Jian thought for a moment and decided to reveal a little to Willow Deity. "Willow Deity, have you ever seen plants wither and then flourish? Do you know that from destruction, new life emerges, and rebirth will surely surpass the past!"
Willow Deity was a little confused upon hearing this; these words sounded somewhat familiar. Why did it feel like her lines were stolen?
"You seem to know many things!" A hint of confusion entered Willow Deity's voice. From her perspective, Shi Jian seemed to be constantly shrouded in a mysterious aura. Logically speaking, such a person shouldn't emerge from a small Stone Village.
In Stone Village, the only one who could barely earn her high regard was Shi Hao. He was a born Supreme. Although his Supreme Bone was dug out, if he could usher in vitality from destruction, he might even regenerate a Supreme Bone. Given time, he might well become a powerful expert. But Shi Hao was not considered a person of Stone Village. His appearance in Stone Village was an anomaly, and Shi Jian was an anomaly among anomalies.
Shi Jian smiled slightly upon hearing Willow Deity's words: "I do know some things. I want to help you…"
Although there was a vast difference in strength, Willow Deity didn't feel Shi Jian was boasting, so she asked very seriously: "How will you help me?"
"I will help you usher in rebirth…" Shi Jian slowly began, explaining: "The Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist I cultivate is part of a great Divine Ability!"
"This great Divine Ability is called the Great Five Elements Technique, also known as the Five Emperors Great Devil Divine Ability. This is the ultimate Divine Ability of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. Upon cultivation, one can freely control and even reverse Five Elements elements, possessing Supreme creative power.
"The Five Emperors Great Devil Divine Ability is divided into the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art, Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash, Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, and finally, Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Dao. Among them, the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art can bring forth vitality and possesses Supreme might. The Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi can transform all fire Qi. The White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash excels in sharp edges, swiftness, and instant kills. The Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist is characterized by its surging power, enduring longevity, dense and tenacious nature. The Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Dao can absorb the essence of the earth and fuse it with magical power, cultivating Earth Emperor Divine Power, which is as heavy and vast as the Archaic Divine Mountains. This Divine Ability will help your rebirth!"
Shi Jian revealed the information about the Great Five Elements Technique. The Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art within the Great Five Elements Technique could bring forth vitality, which was exactly what Willow Deity needed now.
Although Willow Deity was currently severely injured, she would soon be able to usher in new life from destruction. With the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art, the time required for Willow Deity's recovery could be greatly shortened. The sooner she recovered her strength, the more confidence Shi Jian would have.
Compared to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, Willow Deity, this "old grandpa," was clearly more Advanced.
Shi Jian wanted to bring Willow Deity into the Alliance of the chat group. He and the members of the group wanted to establish a force that spanned across all heavens. Besides the group members, they naturally needed to recruit other members. Such as Yao Lao, Xiao Yan… And also Willow Deity.
With Willow Deity's strength, she could fully safeguard the members of the group. Moreover, he obtained the Original True Understanding from Willow Deity. Shi Jian naturally had to repay her as well.
"Great Five Elements Technique? Five Emperors Great Devil Divine Ability?" Willow Deity's voice became even more confused after hearing Shi Jian's words. Listening to Shi Jian's description, she felt that this Divine Ability was extraordinary. It was probably no less powerful than the Ten Vicious Treasured Arts. But why did she have no memory of it at all? Was her memory loss too severe?
"Let's return to Stone Village first. I will then discuss this Great Five Elements Technique with you in detail!" Shi Jian continued.
A hint of anticipation rose in Willow Deity's heart.
"Good!"
Willow Deity glowed all over, and a terrifying aura surged from her. Her five willow branches instantly pierced straight through the entire sky. The Void Realm trembled, and finally, the familiar light gate appeared once again. This gate carried Shi Jian, and he disappeared from his original spot.
In Stone Village, Willow Deity's main body also emitted light, and finally, a wisp of consciousness descended into the tree body!
Shi Jian, who was sitting cross-legged there, instantly opened his eyes. He was back.
