Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

The Small Universe Realm was filled with bright light, illuminating the entire space without a trace of darkness. Just looking at this light would make one's mind incredibly clear.

This light is the divine light of the Lesser Universe, said to be able to dispel all impurities in one's heart. As long as a cultivator practices here, he will be completely free of inner demons and his mind will be extremely at peace.

Cultivating here for a day is equivalent to cultivating outside for more than a hundred years.

What's even more eye-catching is the nine-colored energy stream, known as the Nine Yang Immortal Energy. However, although this Nine Yang Immortal Energy shares the same name as the immortal energy in the Eternal Realm, it is actually just nine kinds of primordial energy from a mysterious alternate dimension.

This kind of airflow permeates the entire Lesser Universe.

"Fang Qing, this is the mystery of my Little Universe Realm. This Nine Yang Immortal Qi was collected by the founding ancestor of my Heavenly Academy during his travels through many other dimensions. However, those who have not reached the legendary realm cannot absorb it."

Elder Bingwu spoke up.

"Really? I feel like I could do it."

Fang Qing smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he revealed some of the mysteries of the Great Five Elements Technique.

"Om-"

The entire space of the Small Universe suddenly trembled, and the Nine Yang Immortal Qi, which could only be restrained by legendary experts, surged towards Fang Qing like rivers flowing into the sea.

Five divine lights condensed into a wheel behind him, spinning wildly and absorbing all the boundless Nine Yang Immortal Qi. This golden energy flowed into his body and was instantly decomposed and transformed by the power of the Five Elements, turning into the purest primordial energy to nourish his meridians, bones, and internal organs!
"This...how is this possible?!"

Elder Bingwu staggered back a step, his eyes filled with horror. "The power of the laws contained within the Nine Yang Immortal Qi can only be withstood by those at the Legendary Realm! You're only at the first level of the Life-Seizing Realm, how could you possibly..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned by the sight before him.

Fang Qing's body shone with increasingly intense five-colored light, and a colossal Five Elements Dao Wheel faintly appeared above his head. The Dao Wheel slowly rotated, and with each rotation, it resonated with the heavens and earth, as if the Great Dao itself was manifesting.

On the five-colored Dao Wheel, the power of the five elements flowed endlessly. Fang Qing's cultivation level soared like a rocket.

Peak of the first level of the Deadly Realm!
Deadly Double Strikes!

Peak of the second level of deadly power...

"not good!"

Elder Bingwu suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically. "He's about to undergo his second life-threatening tribulation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky in the Lesser Universe suddenly darkened!

"Rumble--"

Thunder rumbled from the heavens, and the golden Nine Yang Immortal Qi was stirred by an unknown force, transforming into rolling dark clouds. Within the clouds, lightning snakes danced wildly, thunder dragons writhed, and a destructive aura descended!

"A second deadly ordeal?!"

"How is this possible! He only recently entered the Life-Seizing Realm!"

"His cultivation speed is actually so fast!"

The elders were visibly shaken.

However, Fang Qing remained calm, even with a faint smile on her lips.

"A mere tribulation lightning strike dares to stop me?"

He raised his hand and pointed, and the five-colored Dao Wheel soared into the sky, colliding with the falling heavenly lightning.

In an instant, the world lost its color.

Lightning and the light of the five elements intertwined, transforming into a chaotic void. Fang Qing stood within it, enduring the bombardment of countless bolts of lightning, yet remained unharmed. On the contrary, he absorbed all the power of the lightning using the Five Elements Rotation Method, turning it into nourishment for tempering his physical body.

"What...what kind of technique is this?!"

"He actually refined the heavenly lightning?!"

"Monster! This is definitely a monster!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell all around. Even the ancient beings who had been in seclusion cultivating were alarmed, and terrifying divine senses swept out from all directions!

"Who's undergoing tribulation here? Don't they know this is the Lesser Universe Realm?!" "Wait...that kid is actually refining the lightning tribulation?!"

"Who the hell is he?!"

The lightning tribulation lasted for a full hour.

When the last bolt of lightning was absorbed into Fang Qing's body, the entire Small Universe Realm was shaken.

He slowly opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting the five elements and flashing with lightning.

The second fatal blow has been successfully delivered!
Elder Bingwu stared blankly at Fang Qing, his lips twitching a few times, but he couldn't utter a single word. He had cultivated for many years and had never seen such a terrifying scene of tribulation.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Suddenly, an aged yet excited voice rang out. Immediately afterward, a figure appeared out of thin air—it was a legendary old man from the Heavenly Academy who cultivated the Five Elements Dao.

Five Elements Venerable One!
The old man had white hair and beard, a kind face, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he could see through everything. He stared intently at Fang Qing, his face full of surprise: "Young man, are you cultivating the supreme and wondrous method of the Five Elements?"

Fang Qing smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Senior has insightful eyes. This disciple has indeed cultivated a Five Elements technique."

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Five Elements Venerable exclaimed "Good!" three times. "I have cultivated the Five Elements Dao for hundreds of years and have never seen such pure Five Elements Qi! Young man, would you be willing to become my disciple?!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar around him.

Is the Five Elements Venerable going to take on disciples?
Fang Qing hesitated for a moment, then bowed deeply and said, "This disciple is willing!"

"Haha! Good! From this day forward, you are my personally taught disciple!"

The Five Elements Venerable laughed, and an ancient jade tablet appeared in his hand. "This is the 'Five Elements Token'. With this token, you can freely enter and leave the Lesser Universe Realm! However, according to the rules of the Lesser Universe Realm, you can only come once every seven days. Come when you can, and I will lend you a hand."

He handed the jade tablet to Fang Qing, and then took out a jade scroll: "This is the 'True Understanding of the Five Elements' that I have comprehended throughout my life. You may study it carefully!"

Fang Qing accepted the jade tablet and jade slip, his heart as calm as a still well.

The reason he wanted to show off his genius was to find a powerful backer and avoid being bothered by the lowly members of the Heavenly Academy.

After all, there are far too many fools in the Crown Prince faction of the Heavenly Academy these days, and the polluting aura emanating from those fools is about to contaminate the entire Heavenly Academy.

With the Five Elements Venerable as his backer, Fang Qing could live a few days of peace.

"Yes!"

Fang Qing nodded.

"Now that you have successfully become my disciple, Fang Qing, we will take our leave."

Elder Bingwu and others spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing turned to look at Elder Bingwu and the others, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"This time, we need more help from the elders."

Fang Qing looked at the elders and said, "If it weren't for your discerning eyes and strong recommendations, I wouldn't have had this opportunity today. I will remember this kindness."

"Haha, Fang Qing, we are happy for you having such an opportunity. We hope you can cultivate well here and achieve great things in the future."

The elders were delighted to see that Fang Qing still had a gentle expression.

This is a grateful disciple, and they will likely benefit from it in the future.

"Fang Qing, you should cultivate here for now. Since you can absorb the Nine Yang Immortal Qi, then absorb it properly. There won't be any trouble with this matter."

The Five Elements Venerable laughed heartily.

"Hmm." (End of Chapter)
