The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—generate and restrain each other. If I'm not careful, I might actually suffer a qi deviation!" Chen Xuan pondered.

"Let's figure it out first!"

"The metal and wood elements are complete; the next step is the law of water."

Water, gentle yet strong, can nourish all things, but it can also destroy everything.

After some time, Chen Xuan gradually mastered the Law of Water in his cultivation. Its fluidity and inclusiveness made the power of metal and wood more harmonious under its guidance.

With his comprehension of the Law of Water, Chen Xuan's immortal power underwent another qualitative change, as if a river was flowing through his meridians, endlessly regenerating.

"Water and fire complement each other; next comes the law of fire."

Fire, intense and violent, symbolizes destruction and rebirth.

Using the Law of Water as a guide, Chen Xuan gradually tamed the power of the Law of Fire. With water and fire merging and yin and yang harmonizing, Chen Xuan's immortal power increased once again, and the power of the laws within his body became increasingly profound.

Finally, there is the Law of Earth.

Earth, heavy and stable, symbolizes the land and foundation.

Chen Xuan used the four elements of metal, wood, water, and fire as a guide to gradually integrate the power of the element of earth into his body.

With all five elements gathered, Chen Xuan's immortal power reached an unprecedented level.

"The five elements are now complete; the next step is fusion! However, I still need to make some preparations!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan was filled with thoughts of the upcoming fusion of the Five Elements Laws. He was thinking of finding some auxiliary spiritual objects to make full preparations for the fusion. However, when he went out, he found himself in Luo Menglan's house.

"Ok??"

"Don't I remember I was in seclusion at home?"

"Wife? Little Dragon, Little Ning?" Chen Xuan called out.

"Good good!"

"What a little dragon and little Ning! You should still call them that in my house!" Luo Menglan stood in the hall, staring at him with a resentful look.

Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

Before he could even greet her, Luo Menglan strode up to him and demanded, "Chen Xuan, I heard you got married?"

"Um, Menglan, this is a long story, let me explain..."

"What's there to explain!" Luo Menglan's eyes reddened, her voice choked with sobs. "I went to great lengths to find the laws for you, running around everywhere, and what did you do? You actually married another woman while I was away!"

As Luo Menglan spoke, she threw a ball of light at Chen Xuan's feet; this was the Golden Law she had found.

Chen Xuan looked guilty and tried to grab Luo Menglan's hand, but she shook him off.

“Menglan, I’m so sorry, but the circumstances were special at the time, I…”

"Don't tell me about any special circumstances!" Luo Menglan interrupted him.

"I've been braving wind and rain outside, all I wanted was to help you improve your skills, and now you're getting married? What do you take me for?"

Seeing Luo Menglan's agitated state, Chen Xuan suddenly hugged her tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled.

"Menglan, please don't do this. I know I was wrong. It's all my fault. Hit me if you want!"

At first, Luo Menglan struggled fiercely, pounding Chen Xuan's chest with her hands. But gradually, her strength waned, and tears streamed down her face, soaking Chen Xuan's clothes.

"Tell me, why did you do this to me..." she sobbed.

Chen Xuan gently patted Luo Menglan's back, his voice so tender it could melt hearts:

“Menglan, my marriage was out of necessity. I imagine you learned the whole story while I was in seclusion. I know this reason is weak, but you have always been in my heart.”

“I have seen and remembered all the hard work you have done to find the right path for me. How could I possibly betray that kindness?”

When Chen Xuan said this, he also felt that he was a bit of a jerk.

But there was no way around it; he couldn't let any of these women slip by!

As he spoke, Chen Xuan gently released Luo Menglan, cupped her face in his hands, and softly wiped away her tears with his thumbs:

"Look, I've finally managed to comprehend the Five Elements Laws after all this cultivation, but without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do so smoothly. You are the most important person to me, without a doubt."

Luo Menglan looked up and gazed into Chen Xuan's sincere eyes. The grievances and anger in her heart gradually dissipated, but she still stubbornly said, "Hmph, all you know how to say are these sweet words to coax me."

"How could I lie to you? Everything I said is true. Once I've integrated the Five Elements Laws and my strength has greatly increased, I'll take you to see all the beautiful scenery in this world and eat all the delicious food, okay?"

What Chen Xuan said was easy for Luo Menglan, but as a well-behaved girl, she still longed to be with the person she loved and travel the world.

As expected, Luo Menglan rolled her eyes at Chen Xuan, but couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Then you mustn't go back on your word."

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

"Humph!"

Thinking that she had been so easily coaxed by Chen Xuan, Luo Menglan couldn't help but pout in his arms.

Chen Xuan knew what the girl was angry about, so he simply picked her up in his arms and carried her slowly toward the bedroom.

"What...what are you doing? Didn't I tell you last time...you can't do that!"

"Your knowledge base is still too low. We are all cultivators. Since one path is blocked, are you just going to give up cultivation?"

"What? What do you mean?!"

"In the future, you will naturally understand my profound meaning!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

......

"By the way, where are Xiaolong and Xiaoning?"

He didn't dare ask when Luo Menglan was angry, but now that he has completely won, he can naturally ask.

"Your Majesty, I've sent you to your space~"

"Oh, that's good. It's safe there, so I don't have to worry too much. I can focus on what I'm doing."

"My darling, will you protect me?"

Luo Menglan nodded, blushing. She still hadn't recovered from the new information, and... it was really embarrassing!

In the days that followed, Chen Xuan began to prepare intensively for the integration of the Five Elements Laws.

Once everything was ready, he stepped into the fusion array that Luo Menglan had already set up.

The magic circle was carved by her own hand, with intricate and profound lines, each pattern radiating a faint light of law.

Luo Menglan stood guard outside the magic array, holding her breath and looking tense.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged within the formation, his eyes closed, and the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth slowly emerged around him.

The Law of Metal shimmered with a chilling golden light, the Law of Wood contained boundless vitality in its emerald glow, the Law of Water shimmered with blue light, gently enveloping him, the Law of Fire soared into the sky with red light, radiating intense heat, and the Law of Earth had a steady and solid yellow halo, firmly supporting him.

(Oh, ocean, you are all water)

Initially, the five elements were mutually exclusive and could not be integrated for a long time.

However, with Chen Xuan's continuous efforts, the Five Elements Laws gradually began to merge.
