Chapter 178 The Birth of the World
The arrival of Hu Qian and the others gave the eleven elders, who had been pushed to their limits, a huge sigh of relief, and their spirits immediately lifted.
On the other side, Su Qian looked at the little girl in front of her, who was speaking confidently and saying she had come to help, with a rather troubled expression.
"Old man, Canaan Academy is my home, and I don't want to be homeless again!" Zi Yan said with a gloomy expression.
It was the old man who brought her here, so she didn't live like a little monster in the mountains all the time, constantly battling wits and courage with other monsters and robbing them for rare treasures.
"Alright, alright! Now that you're here, stay put and don't wander off!" Su Qian waved her hand helplessly, a hint of gentleness in her eyes.
Despite knowing that Zi Yan's true form was not human, he still treated her like his own granddaughter and never mistreated her.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan was overjoyed and quickly nodded, obediently saying, "Don't worry, old man, I'll come as soon as I see the signal flare on the back mountain. I definitely won't wander off!"
Su Qian nodded with satisfaction. Although this child was a bit mischievous on ordinary days, she should know what was important in this situation. She said:
"That's good"
"Wait! Where did you say you came from?"
Su Qian frowned and asked as if to confirm.
"The back mountain!" Zi Yan was taken aback. With the old man's cultivation level, could he be hallucinating?
"The back mountain...the back mountain!" Su Qian frowned and pondered, thinking of the immense energy that had gathered in the back mountain earlier. That scale was something that even a Dou Wang could not create.
Moreover, the aura was somewhat unfamiliar; it wasn't the Canaan Academy elder he was familiar with.
"That's right! Old man, you don't know, I met a strange guy there, a giant skeleton riding a golden dragon, and he actually knew my name!"
As she spoke, Xiao Ziyan's clear voice chattered away as she told Su Qian about the situation she encountered on the back mountain.
After listening to Zi Yan's account, Su Qian immediately had a guess in her mind, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes:
"It's Xiao Baiyao!"
"Could it be that the Fallen Heartflame is acting so agitated because of him?"
"What is his purpose? Did he come for this strange fire?"
Su Qian couldn't help but think this way. Xiao Bai cultivated the lightning attribute, but he hadn't sensed the aura of the lightning attribute before. Instead, the fire attribute energy was abundant.
The Fallen Heart Flame had just calmed down from the riot, but according to Zi Yan's description, it rioted again, and the time it took to gather energy was almost the same as his sudden action in the back mountain, and his determination seemed very firm.
Considering Xiao Bai's status as a sixth-grade alchemist, and the fact that a strange fire is a coveted treasure for any alchemist, his suspicions deepened.
"Bang!"
As Su Qian was pondering, a strange sound came from the energy shield.
"Everyone! Hold on with all your might, don't let this beast succeed!"
Hu Qian felt the energy shield shake and its vibrant colors dimmed, so he hurriedly shouted.
These elders from the outer court are generally weaker than those from the inner court, but they have the advantage of being more numerous, and the energy shield they maintain can still firmly resist the continuous attacks of the invisible fire python.
"Fine! Let's deal with this Fallen Heart Flame first! Hopefully, that kid's actions were unintentional and he wasn't after the strange flame!"
Seeing this, Su Qian buried his doubts in his heart. He thought highly of Xiao Bai. This young man not only had amazing talent for cultivation, but was also such a young sixth-grade alchemist. He did not want him to have any conflict with Canaan Academy.
At this moment, Xiao Bai, whom Su Qian mentioned, was watching the changes in his body with a joyful expression.
The two elements, water and fire, which were originally constantly at odds and disliked each other, began to show signs of convergence.
Under his control and with the harmony of the earth element, the two no longer went their separate ways as before, but began to intertwine and rotate like two swimming fish.
Fire is violent and agile, while water is calm and deep. Between movement and stillness, they give rise to each other, and water and fire are mutually restrained.
The violent energy within the body also begins to subside at this time, carrying a harmonious blend of water and fire, strength and gentleness.
As the energy surged, it meandered through the body's extensive meridians, and the previous bloating and pain disappeared, replaced by a faint sense of comfort.
As the cultivation technique circulates, this immense energy travels along a mysterious path through the body's meridians, continuously transforming into one's own fighting spirit.
The valley outside.
"My lord, has it... succeeded?" The little golden dragon looked at the changes happening in the yellow light in the sky, blinked its huge eyes, and exclaimed.
Above, amidst the vast expanse of yellow clouds, the previously clashing elements of water and fire ceased their violent outbursts and gradually quieted down.
Like two enormous black and red snakes, they coiled and rotated around each other.
It seems to carry some kind of mysterious aura!
"Xun'er, did Xiaobai... succeed?" The worry in Xiao Yixian's eyes slowly disappeared, and she looked expectantly at the beautiful figure beside her.
Although she didn't know what Xiao Bai was doing, she could still see some changes above. At least now the energy fluctuations in the yellow cloud were not as intense as before.
"Hmm! Whether it succeeded or not, we don't know yet, since we don't know what he was going to do, but at least there shouldn't be any danger!"
Xun'er also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried because the little golden dragon had told her about Xiao Bai's changes in Thunderfall Valley.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ever-swirling black and red light grew larger and brighter.
But no matter how large the two beams of light were, the yellow cloud always changed accordingly, tightly enveloping them within it.
As time went by, the situation in the sky became increasingly clear.
The black and red colors intertwined and eventually converged into a huge circle, with the two colors of energy rotating around each other like two big fish.
Huang Yun is like a tray, with this strange rotating circle resting on it, motionless and unshakable.
If Xiao Yan were here, he would definitely find this shape very familiar, just like the one he saw in his previous life.
Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram!
The only difference is that the previous one was black and white, while this one is red and black.
The instant the shape took shape, a special, invisible wave emanated, and a unique, wondrous feeling arose in the hearts of the two women and the dragon.
Xun'er felt as if she were surrounded by a golden sea of fire, and in a daze, her senses extended infinitely.
She had a feeling that she could control any single flame in this sea of fire, capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea, and was omnipotent!
In a hazy state, Little Fairy Doctor felt as if she were in a space that was both colorful and dazzling, yet shrouded in a gray mist.
These mottled gray mists gave her an extremely poisonous feeling. At this moment, she felt that she could summon any wisp of gray mist in this space, which was incredibly powerful!
"So big!"
The little golden dragon felt its enormous dragon body radiating golden light, surrounded by golden lightning.
These bolts of lightning were as thick as mountains, carrying an aura of destruction. When they struck the creature, they only caused one of its scales to tremble slightly.
Just as the two women and the little golden dragon were drawn into a strange illusion by this special charm.
At this moment, Xiao Bai's consciousness was also in a strange state.
He felt as if he were in a legendary endless chaos, with no concept of time or space, everything in a primordial state of undifferentiated chaos.
After an unknown amount of time—perhaps a moment, perhaps millions of years—a strange point of light suddenly appeared in the chaos. The light emitted by this point of light was very weak, and as it swayed, it seemed as if it was about to be submerged by the endless chaos.
After an unknown amount of time, the point of light was not swallowed by the chaos. Instead, it slowly expanded, forming a powerful vortex of air around it. As the vortex spun, it continuously devoured the surrounding chaotic air.
As the continuous flow of chaotic energy was swallowed up, the central point of light grew larger and larger.
Finally, when the light spot expanded to a certain point, a loud bang, like the beginning of chaos, was heard. Xiao Bai felt a blur, and then his perspective changed, and he appeared in the light spot.
Everything was hazy and unknown, as if something was being conceived.
This is what Xiao Bai is thinking at this moment.
Just then, the hazy air currents in this space began to churn, as if something was violently stirring them.
Then, in Xiao Bai's vision, these hazy currents began to separate under this inexplicable stirring.
The ethereal air currents gradually rose, transforming into a hazy sky.
The turbid air gradually descended and condensed into a vast expanse of land.
"The creation of the world?" Xiao Bai stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He had never imagined that this was actually a sign of the world's formation.
Without Pangu, there was no axe to create the world!
This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].
The formation of the world did not stop because of Xiao Bai's shock. After the separation of heaven and earth, the clear and turbid air that had been separated began to converge for the first time in this newly formed world.
"boom!"
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a thunderclap, echoing across this new world with an indescribable and wondrous charm at the very moment when heaven and earth converged.
As yin and yang collided, and lightning flashed, five orbs of light of different colors gradually took shape.
They are like lively elves, or newborn children, full of curiosity about the whole world.
Intertwined yet mutually repelling, they constantly traverse between heaven and earth, carrying an instinctive mission, each seeking its own destiny.
After wandering around for a while, the five lights seemed to have found their respective destinies.
The four directions were occupied by four different colors of light, with only the center shimmering with yellow light.
"The universe is now set in motion. Is this the stabilization of the five directions?" Xiao Bai gazed at the scene with deep thought.
The east is cyan, the south is red, the west is gold, the north is black, and the center is yellow.
Once the location is determined.
The central yellow light took the lead, transforming into countless points of light that fell onto the vast ground, stabilizing the foundation of heaven and earth and supporting all things.
Immediately afterwards, green light shone down and fell to the ground, instantly giving rise to countless flowers, grasses, and trees, lush and vibrant with life;
The red light is hidden deep within the earth, where magma erupts and transforms into volcanic lava, bringing warmth and light to the world;
Golden light spilled onto the ground, making the rocks hard and dazzling, and containing a sharp and murderous edge;
The black light continuously roamed the earth, converging into rivers, lakes, and seas, with its vast flow nourishing the land;
Looking at this suddenly vibrant world, Xiao Bai felt a surge of joy for some reason.
But just then, before he could react, his mind jolted, and when he opened his eyes again, the stalactites around him remained the same.
"Is it an illusion?"
A fleeting look of vicissitude flashed across Xiao Bai's eyes. Just as the water and fire reached a balance, a strange Daoist aura emanated from it and then appeared in the endless chaos. He felt somewhat bewildered.
He shook his head, unable to figure it out for the time being, so he stopped thinking about it. Through that illusory scene, his understanding of the Five Elements had improved far more than before.
He raised his head slightly, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the mountain's dome and look at the energy vortex swirling in the air outside.
"receive!"
Although the sound was soft, it seemed to penetrate the cave and reach the valley, waking the two women and one dragon outside who were also caught in some kind of hallucination.
Before they could even be surprised by what they had just experienced, they saw the energy cloud stretching for miles in the sky pouring down like a funnel along the mountain peak from which the beam of light had shot into the sky.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor instantly forgot what had just happened, their pretty faces beaming with joy. Regardless of anything else, they understood what was happening: Xiao Bai was absorbing this energy, which also meant...
He's coming out!
As this immense energy entered his body, Xiao Bai's internal organs shone brightly, and streams of the five elements' energy were fully absorbed by the five lightning seeds.
At the same time, Xiao Bai's body was also slowly changing. He could feel that this vast energy, combined with the wonder of the five elements, was causing his physical body to continuously transform.
Gold is indestructible, wood is revitalizing, water is gentle yet resilient, fire is fiery and explosive, and earth is heavy and stable!
As the power of the five elements continuously strengthened his physical body, Xiao Bai's original white hair began to slowly return, turning into long, ink-black hair that draped over his shoulders.
His physique gradually became perfect, as if sculpted by the Great Dao, with each muscle showing a natural curve, full of explosive power, yet without giving people the feeling of being strong and ugly.
Anyone who sees this body cannot help but marvel at the wonders of creation!
As time passed, when the last wisp of energy was absorbed into the body, the bright light in the five internal organs reached its peak.
"boom!"
Five muffled thunderclaps sounded, and the five thunder seeds seemed to have completed their mission, leaving the body and surging into Xiao Bai's dantian, which had been empty since he advanced to the Dou Wang realm.
Then, following some mysterious trajectory, it began to move, tracing mysterious lines, and finally came to a stop.
"Five directions?!"
Xiao Bai looked at the several lightning seeds occupying different areas in his dantian. This familiar sight greatly surprised him, and he murmured:
"So it was you guys."
At this moment, he fully understood that the mysterious aura and the seemingly illusory creation of the world were caused by Xiao Yi and the others.
It was he who brought about the balanced integration of the five elements, which led to its creation.
"Is this going to transform the world?"
At this moment, the situation in his dantian left Xiao Bai somewhat bewildered; his cultivation technique now seemed to have embarked on a completely different path.
If you hadn't thought about the fusion of the five elements beforehand, and instead fused a lightning seed at each realm, and followed the established path step by step, then you would be in the same system as the Dou Qi Continent.
This was the path of cultivation that he had always taken for granted. The fusion of the five elements was just to see if it could make the power stronger.
But now, due to some actions, things have changed again.
"Is this giving me a choice?"
Thinking of the talisman in his mind, Xiao Bai pondered silently. No matter what choice he made, the talisman always ignored him and let him cultivate on his own.
