I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"what is this?"

"A fire spirit?"

Jiang He knew that places where the five elements were out of balance were prone to giving birth to special creatures.

For example, this place belongs to the underground magma layer, where the element of fire is most vigorous. It is reasonable that a "fire spirit" would be born under the long-term nurturing of the "way of fire".

The fire sprite was only three feet tall, with two pairs of wings on its back that emitted a hazy firelight. It was surrounded by a rich aura of the Way of Fire, and its features were delicate and lovely. It swam around in the lava... It was born from the "Way of Fire" and was naturally close to flames, so it was not afraid of lava.

brush!
Jiang He moved swiftly, breaking through the rolling lava, and headed towards the fire spirit.

The fire spirit sensed the approaching danger and was startled. She flapped her four wings and tried to escape... but she was only at the Fish-Dragon Realm level, so how could she escape?
Jiang He appeared behind her almost the instant she flapped her wings, reached out and gently grabbed her wing.

The fire spirit reacted quite well. Flames blazed around her, and a large amount of magma transformed into a crimson longsword that shot towards Jiang He's face. Jiang He sneered, opened his mouth, and swallowed the crimson longsword directly into his stomach, saying indifferently, "Little guy, don't struggle... you can't escape."

"Let go!"

The fire spirit thrashed about, but couldn't break free. So she glared at Jiang He and threatened, "Let go right now, or my older sister will make you regret it!"

However, her face was small and delicate.

This "pretending to be tough" expression doesn't have any fierceness at all; instead, it makes her look adorable.

Combined with her naturally sharp and delicate voice, she sounds both cute and fierce.

"Oh?"

Jiang He's face lit up with joy, and he said, "You have an older sister?"

The fire sprite said smugly, "How about that? Scared now? Let me tell you... my eldest sister is an unparalleled expert, a fairy of our fire sprite clan. You still have time to run away!"

The most powerful person?
Flame Fairy?

Jiang He chuckled and said, "There aren't many things in this world that I can fear these days..."

His mind was racing.

He pondered how to trick the little guy into revealing the secrets of the underground magma layer.

"Humph!"

The fire spirit sneered disdainfully: "You humans are indeed arrogant and boastful. You little body cultivators dare to spout such nonsense. If you have the guts, come with me to see my elder sister. Only if you dare to say those words in front of my elder sister will you be considered truly capable."

Ah this...

Jiang He was taken aback.

He was still thinking about how to get information out of her.

But unexpectedly... this fire spirit actually offered to take me there?
Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?
However, Jiang He is now highly skilled and daring, and even if there is a trap, he dares to walk into it. He pretends to be "unconvinced" and says, "Lead the way!"

A hint of joy flashed in the fire spirit's eyes as it said, "Let go first, then I can open the passage."

"Don't try anything funny, you can't escape my grasp."

Jiang He made a threat before letting go.

As expected, the fire spirit did not run away after regaining her freedom. Her wings flapped, and the flames on her body grew brighter and brighter. Her hands moved nimbly, forming a series of hand seals. Finally, she made a seal towards the magma layer and said in a childish voice, "Open!"

hum!
A strange power began to brew.

Within the magma layer, seven colors unexpectedly appeared.

Jiang He was very familiar with this color; most teleportation arrays would display a seven-colored glow when in operation.

The seven-colored light spread, enveloping the rivers and fire spirits.

next moment.

The world is spinning.

Jiang He discovered that he was now in a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers!

What comes into view is an endless plain, covered with flowers everywhere. Various little elves flit among the flowers, diligently collecting pollen. A small river runs through the entire plain, winding its way into the distance.

Along the banks of the stream, all sorts of strange houses have been built.

There are suspended wooden houses.

The earthen house is shaped like a Mongolian yurt.

There are also treehouses built in large trees.

The most eye-catching of them all is a castle that covers hundreds of acres, and there are even elves patrolling around the castle.

"This……"

"Is this a secret world?"

Jiang He was shocked. He had never imagined that such a vast secret world was hidden deep within the earth's crust. He extended his spiritual power and quickly reached the end of this world, measuring its length and width.

"It is about 8,800 li long and 3,200 li wide."

"This secret realm is probably the largest secret realm space on our ancestral planet right now!"

By projecting his spiritual power, Jiang He not only "measured" the size of this secret realm, but also sensed the auras of powerful semi-saints and even saints!

Especially in that castle, there is a powerful fire spirit!

Her aura had already reached the level of a Great Sage.

However, he is weaker than the two Ghost Clan Great Saints that Jiang He killed on the banks of the Weak Water River. He should only control one Great Dao and is a one-star Great Saint!
At the same time that Jiang He discovered the Great Sage, the Great Sage-level fire spirit also discovered Jiang He.

Her expression changed, and she flew out of the secluded chamber.

And this moment.

The fire spirit who had led the way in front of Jiang He burst into laughter—

With her hands on her hips, she said smugly, "Foolish human, you have a path to heaven but you choose the gate to hell... Sisters, charge! Take down this foolish human!"

With a delicate shout from the fire spirit.

The next moment, countless tiny sprites wielding various weapons flew over from all directions, among the flowers and grass, and in a short while, they surrounded Jiang He completely. Jiang He did not make a move, but instead smiled and looked towards the direction of the castle in the distance, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, now that you have come out of seclusion, why not show yourself?"

Jiang He learned the term "fellow Daoist" from those old foxes of Qingqiu Fox.

After all, she is the "Flame Fairy," so you can't just call her "brother," can you?

As for taking action?

A group of little elves, living peacefully here, so there's no need to kill them.

Rumble!
As Jiang He finished speaking, a powerful aura rose from the distant castle.

Immediately following, a dozen or so half-saints, three saints, and thousands of fish-dragon realm elves escorted the great saint realm fire elf as it flew over! This fire elf was about four meters tall, with six pairs of twelve wings on its back. The patterns on its wings were very similar to those of the previous fire elf, but also different, appearing more intricate and containing a rich holy might!
However, she was tall.

Yet it gives people an extremely perfect feeling.

"Fairy!"

All the little elves surrounding the river landed and bowed.

The Flame Fairy first glared at the flame spirit that had brought Jiang He into this secret realm, and asked, "Did you bring this human?"

The fire spirit knew it had made a mistake and didn't dare to raise its head. It said, "Fairy, please listen to my explanation. I was captured by this human and had no choice but to resort to this tactic. But don't be afraid, everyone. He is only one person, while we have thousands of brothers and sisters. As long as we knock him unconscious and leave him here, he will not be able to reveal the existence of our secret world."

The Flame Fairy said, "If you hadn't sneaked out time and time again, how could you have been captured?"

The tiny fire sprite retorted, "I was just taking a bath in the underground lava layer; how would I know that this human was also bathing in the lava layer!"

We can deduce this from their conversation...

This "Flame Fairy" of the Great Sage Realm is clearly not a qualified superior!
Or perhaps she was just too kind.

Otherwise, how would his subordinates dare to speak in such a tone?
The Flame Fairy shook her head and sighed, "It's all fate. This secret realm is on the verge of collapse, and we'll have to leave here sooner or later..."

"........."

Jiang He couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted, "Fellow Daoist, it's not very nice of you to ignore me like this, is it?"

The Flame Fairy then looked over.

She looked Jiang He up and down, and found that she couldn't see through this human in front of her. She could only vaguely sense that his blood and energy were extremely powerful. She immediately asked, "Are you a body cultivator?"

Jiang He nodded, which was taken as an admission.

The Flame Fairy continued, "How could a body cultivator deceive my senses... Could it be that you have already achieved physical sainthood?"

"You have excellent eyesight, fairy."

Jiang He said, "I have indeed achieved physical sainthood."

The little elves nearby chattered incessantly, some of them with weak cultivation asking the elf next to them, "Sister, what is body cultivation?"

"Body cultivation?"

"Body cultivators are brutes with physical disabilities who can only cultivate their physical bodies."

Hey!
Jiang He's face darkened. He looked in the direction of the voice and found that the elf who spoke was the same fire elf that had brought him in.

The little sprite beside the fire sprite was only a foot tall, its entire body exuding the aura of water, its skin a watery, azure blue. She was very curious and asked, "Can the physical body still cultivate? Why can't my physical body cultivate?"

The fire spirit chuckled, "You're a water spirit, a spirit, so where would you get a physical body?"

Fire Fairy waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, go down and chat."

After the group of elves left, the Fire Fairy said, "Fellow Daoist, you are a guest. Please come to my humble abode for a chat."

We arrived at the castle.

The Fire Fairy ordered her subordinates to deliver all sorts of Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.

Jiang He picked up a spirit fruit that was glowing with fire and resembled a peach, and ate it.

"Ding!"

"Refine the spirit fruit, strength +10000kg".

His eyes lit up, and he picked up another spirit fruit that shimmered with moisture!
This secret realm is extremely unique. First of all, its vastness is even greater than the "Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens" of the Great Xia Dynasty. Moreover, the Dao of the Five Elements is extremely rich within it, especially the Dao of Fire. Even Jiang He, a layman in physical cultivation, felt a Dao charm as intense as the blazing sun, as if he had the potential to comprehend the essence of fire.

In such a wondrous world, the spiritual fruits that are born naturally possess unique five-elemental powers, so it's normal for them to have this effect.

Seeing that Jiang He didn't say anything and just ate heartily, the group of elf guards standing to the side couldn't help but chuckle. The Fire Fairy glared at the guards, and they forced themselves to suppress their laughter. The Fire Fairy then asked, "Fellow Daoist, our world is hidden in the magma layer of the earth's crust, and there is an array set up by Emperor Yan outside. How did you discover it?"

Jiang He ate a golden apple, pointed to the sky above, and said, "I live in the hospital up there. Because many people in our hospital have become extraordinary awakeners, I suspected that there might be treasures or sacred veins underground, so I came down to take a look. I didn't expect to run into that little elf."

Fire Fairy had never heard of the word "hospital" before, but she roughly understood and asked, "You're staying at the clinic? Are you injured?"

This doesn't look like it either.

Jiang He was too lazy to explain further, and asked, "What did you mean when you said this world was about to shatter?"

The Fire Fairy said, "This world was created by the powerful members of our Spirit Clan. Although it is only a secret realm, its lifespan is no less than that of those small worlds... It's just a pity that some of our powerful members perished a thousand years ago, causing the five elements of this secret realm to become unbalanced... Over the years, no other Great Saints have been born in this secret realm, which has led to the imbalance of the five elements becoming more and more serious!"

“In the long run, this world will inevitably fall apart.”

She thought for a moment and said, "You said that the patients in your clinic have all awakened spiritual energy, which may be related to the dissipation of the five elements' power in our Five Elements World."

After a conversation.

Jiang He only then realized...

This secret realm is different from other secret realms. It is constructed by the Five Elements Dao, and the Five Elements Dao is closely related to the living beings within it... The stronger the living beings are, the stronger the Dao becomes. Currently, there is only one Great Sage in the Five Elements World: the Fire Fairy. She is an elf born from the Fire Element Dao, naturally powerful, and close to the Fire Element Dao. Therefore, she attained enlightenment through the Fire Element Dao.

It is precisely because of this that the fire element in the Five Elements world has become increasingly powerful, leading to an imbalance among the Five Elements.

Currently, in the Five Elements World, each of the four paths of Metal, Wood, Water, and Earth has a peak Saint Realm expert who is cultivating in the [Dao Domain] of the secret realm, but they are still unable to take that step.

Jiang He pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the Dao of the Five Elements World affected by external influences?"

Fire Fairy said, "Of course I accept it."

Jiang He said, "After that battle a thousand years ago, the powerful beings of the Ancestral Star sealed it off. The restrictions outside the Ancestral Star have not yet been lifted. It is not difficult to become a half-saint on the Ancestral Star, but it may be difficult to become a saint or even a great saint on the Ancestral Star."

The Fire Fairy's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

Some powerful figures from the Five Elements World also participated in that battle.

The result was heavy casualties, which is why they sealed off the Five Elements World.

The Five Elements World was not located deep within the crust of the ancestral star, but rather a blessed land in the void of the ancestral star.

Fire Fairy had obviously considered this possibility as well, and she asked, "Fellow Daoist, could you tell me about the current situation of the Ancestral Star... After the Ten Clans Allied Army broke through the Kunlun Realm, did they invade the Ancestral Star?"

Jiang He briefly recounted the ending of that war a thousand years ago.

Upon hearing that the ancestral star had not been breached, the Fire Fairy breathed a long sigh of relief, but then frowned and said, "As you said... the ancestral star entered a nearly thousand-year-old Dharma-ending Age, during which spiritual energy was depleted and the Great Dao did not exist. It was not until more than thirty years ago that the seal on the ancestral star was loosened, which allowed the spiritual energy to recover and reopened the era of cultivation?"

Jiang He said, "Yes."

Wow!

Suddenly, the Fire Fairy launched an attack. With the flapping of her twelve wings, the "Great Dao of Fire" of the entire Five Elements World was activated in an instant, and a fiery prison descended from the sky, suppressing Jiang He.

She suddenly retreated, putting distance between herself and Jiang He. Her exquisite and beautiful face was full of vigilance as she said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

"The ancestral star's spiritual energy has only been recovering for over thirty years; there's absolutely no way it could have produced a body-refining master who has achieved sainthood through physical cultivation!" (End of Chapter)
