Chapter 784: Five Elements Technique

In the extreme north, at the Spirit Ice Fairy City.

After the ice race was suppressed, Spirit Ice Fairy City became the main fairy city of the extreme north.

After some twists and turns, Li Xuandao finally arrived at the entrance of Spirit Ice Fairy City.

"I didn’t expect the spatial seal to be lifted; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to arrive this quickly. I wonder how the situation is for the human race and beast race now."

"What is my master doing?"

Li Xuandao thought as he stepped into Spirit Ice Fairy City.

If it had been before when the spatial seal was still in place, the extreme north, far from the central continent, would certainly not have been able to receive any news from there.

Now that the spatial seal was lifted, some scattered information could still be received.

Inside a teahouse, Li Xuandao ordered a small private room.

"What tea would you like, sir?" the waiter asked respectfully.

"Bring me a pot of Ice Heart tea and a few plates of snacks."

"And also, get me someone who knows the latest news," Li Xuandao said, looking out at the pedestrians on the street.

He had just vaguely heard the terms Hidden Spirit Sect and Dragon-Tiger Banquet in the street.

Upon hearing Li Xuandao’s words, the waiter smiled and replied even more respectfully, "I am the one who knows the latest news."

In the cultivation world, some higher-ranked wandering cultivators often went into seclusion for over a hundred years.

When they emerged, the quickest way to get up to speed on the important events in the cultivation world was to find someone knowledgeable in a teahouse or restaurant and ask them.

Such people were always present in teahouses or restaurants, idly listening to all sorts of news.

When a wandering cultivator who had been in seclusion for a long time came out, they would seek out these knowledgeable individuals to learn what had happened in the cultivation world, hoping to earn some tea money.

"First, bring the tea, and then come back for a chat," he instructed, throwing out two mid-grade spirit stones.

The waiter skillfully caught them and bowed before retreating.

A pot of Ice Heart tea and two plates of snacks later, the waiter respectfully stood before Li Xuandao.

"How many years’ worth of events would you like to hear about, sir?" the waiter asked.

"Let’s talk about the past hundred years."

Taking a sip of the Ice Heart tea, a warm and cool sensation rose from his heart; the feeling was quite magical.

"The significant events that have transpired in nearly a hundred years are as follows: First, the higher-ranked elder, Master Youming, single-handedly suppressed all ice race respected elders and led the cultivators of the extreme north to eliminate the entire ice race."

"Second, the spatial closure was lifted, triggering an all-out war between the human race and the beast race, with the Golden Winged Roc’s avatar descending into the cultivation world. During that period, the humans were at a disadvantage."

"Then, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect intervened, first suppressing the Golden Winged Roc’s avatar, and then capturing the Purple Jade Flood Dragon and the Golden Devourer Tiger."

"They directly used the two top beast race great beings as ingredients to create the famous Dragon-Tiger Banquet in the cultivation world."

"Almost all the powerful cultivators who participated in the Dragon-Tiger Banquet improved their cultivation realm, and some even ascended to become immortals right after the banquet," the waiter said enviously.

"Wait a moment!" Li Xuandao waved his hand and put the tea down before his lips.

"The Grand Elder of the Hidden Spirit Sect suppressed the Golden Winged Roc’s avatar!"

"That’s right."

"Capture the Purple Jade Flood Dragon and Golden Devourer Tiger alive and use them as ingredients!"

The waiter nodded, slightly puzzled, wondering if his explanation wasn’t clear enough.

"With no top-tier powerful beings left in the beast race, their era is over. All the top sects and the Elder Council in the cultivation world are now fully engaged in hunting down the beast race," the waiter added.

"Which Hidden Spirit Sect are you referring to?" Li Xuandao asked again for confirmation.

The Golden Winged Roc is a dominant figure in both the beast race and the cultivation world; even its avatar, which descends after ascension, retains over 90% of its peak fighting strength.

Although his master is exceptionally talented and deeply connected to myriad paths, he still needs time to grow. Li Xuandao doesn’t doubt that his master can become a top-tier powerful being in the world, but this seems too rapid.

Having already achieved the True Immortal stage through seven lifetimes, Li Xuandao is unsure about his ability to rebuild himself as the strongest being in the cultivation world.

It’s said that sometimes an entire middle thousand world fails to produce such a powerful being.

Every being who reaches the peak of a world becomes highly sought after by major sects upon ascending to the Immortal Realm.

"Of course, it’s the Hidden Spirit Sect from Lin Sen Fairy City in the central continent. Are there any others?" the waiter asked curiously.

"My master’s influence is broader than I thought!"

Five mid-grade spirit stones traced a graceful arc through the air and landed in the waiter’s hand.

"Thank you for the tip, sir!" The waiter’s voice resonated throughout the teahouse.

Regular patrons of the teahouse recognized that the waiter had met a generous guest.

At that moment, Xu Fan, who was deducing the Five Elements Technique, glanced towards the extreme north.

"If you don’t come out soon, I might forget I have a disciple like you," Xu Fan said with a smile.

He then looked at the scriptures forming the Five Elements Technique in mid-air.

"Let’s leave it at that. As long as I can ascend, I can deduce another part in the Immortal Realm."

The core technique of the Hidden Spirit Sect, the Five Elements Technique, had been modified by Xu Fan to reach the Golden Immortal level, maximizing the potential of every disciple practicing the Five Elements Technique.

With a large capacity for spiritual energy, fast cultivation speed, gentle and stable with fewer bottlenecks, it promotes calmness, nurtures one’s nature, strengthens the soul, and significantly improves comprehension.

The technique offers great explosive strength and enduring, stable spiritual energy.

It could be said that Xu Fan had pushed the Five Elements Technique to its limits.

99% of the entire sect practiced the Five Elements Technique, saving Xu Fan a lot of trouble.

Regarding the technique’s counteracting properties, Xu Fan could say nonchalantly, "Do you think the Five Elements Technique is just an ordinary technique?"

The scriptures formed by the wide path slowly began to disappear.

Xu Fan also stood up, ready to stretch a bit.

In the garden in front of the main peak, Xu Fan saw Fierce White chatting with the Tianji Turtle.

By now, Fierce White had grown to the size of a palm.

The two turtles, one white and one gold, lay lazily under the sun on a jade platform.

As for their conversation, most of it was the Tianji Turtle speaking.

Xu Fan quietly sat down next to them.

"Oo~" The Tianji Turtle lightly grunted at Xu Fan.

"Fierce White is doing well; he must be an ancient creature among your Turtle Clan," Xu Fan responded with a smile.

The Tianji Turtle slowly nodded, agreeing with Xu Fan’s thoughts.

Seeing Xu Fan arrive, Fierce White jumped directly onto Xu Fan’s shoulder.

"In another 900 years, I’ll take you to the Immortal Realm. Does that count as one person achieving enlightenment and all the accompanying animals ascending?" Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

The Tianji Turtle thought seriously, then let out a light grunt.

Its meaning seemed to be whether they would still be wandering after reaching the Immortal Realm.

Xu Fan’s face darkened; that question hit a sore spot.

"Perhaps, but powerful beings also take their time to cultivate; it’s all part of the process."

"As long as the time is long enough, no matter what kind of enemy it is, I will trample them underfoot," Xu Fan said confidently.

"Roar" (Then you better work hard!)

The Tianji Turtle spat out a four-colored bubble that burst above Xu Fan’s head, granting him a layer of luck buff.

Xu Fan felt the mysterious power bestowed upon him by the four-colored bubble and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your bloodline is very pure; in just a few years, you can already produce four-colored bubbles."

"I’ll prepare some spirit pills to evolve your bloodline into a Heavenly Blessing Turtle," Xu Fan said, patting the Tianji Turtle’s head.
