A passing traveler through the heavens

Ji Lin carefully studied the "Five Elements Primordial Formula", the "General Outline of Chan Sect Cultivation", and the Chan Sect cultivation method he had already practiced, "Jade Purity Immortal Method".

He was immersed in the mysteries of these techniques, his thoughts surging like a tide, pondering to himself.

Ji Lin was extremely familiar with the Jade Purity Immortal Technique. It was the foundational cultivation method practiced by all disciples of the Chan Sect, and its doctrines and cultivation methods pointed out an orthodox path of cultivation for them.

However, this "Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique" was like a fog, which really puzzled Ji Lin.

Judging from the content described in the cultivation method alone, its exquisite and mysterious aspects are beyond imagination. It can even help cultivators break through one realm after another, until they can climb to the unattainable realm of sainthood.

Ji Lin knew clearly that such a supreme technique could not possibly be possessed by Jade Cauldron Immortal alone.

"Could it be that the origin of this cultivation technique is the Primordial Celestial Venerable?"

A big question kept swirling in Ji Lin's mind. After all, it was only after returning from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable that Jade Cauldron True Man bestowed this mysterious cultivation technique upon Ji Lin.

As he pondered the matter more deeply, a flood of questions came rushing in, a tangled mess that left him unable to unravel it all.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly and decided to stop worrying about it, thinking that "there's always a way out," so why add unnecessary trouble to these problems that are currently unsolvable?

With that thought in mind, Ji Lin left Jinxia Cave and stepped into the forests of Yuquan Mountain. Finally, in a secluded valley, he found a natural cave.

This cave is like a corner forgotten by time. The entrance is hidden behind lush vines and boulders. The cave is deep and quiet, filled with a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere. It is truly an excellent place for cultivation.

Ji Lin entered the cave, and after a brief survey, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He decided to use the wondrous array knowledge he had obtained through a lottery in the Joy of Life world to transform this cave into his own sacred cultivation ground.

First, he set up a time acceleration array. A disc was thrown out by Ji Lin and merged into the cave wall and floor.

As the disc was embedded, a faint halo filled the entire cave. This array was incredibly mysterious; when one cultivated within it, a year would pass in the outside world, but only one day would go by.

In this way, Ji Lin seemed to have his own time treasure trove, which allowed him to accumulate more cultivation experience within a limited amount of time outside and improve his strength more quickly.

Immediately afterwards, he began to set up a spirit-gathering array. He placed carefully selected array plates at various key points in the cave and cast spells again.

Instantly, the array plate shone brightly, and a powerful suction force emanated from it, forming small vortexes that frantically gathered the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the surrounding area.

As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the spiritual energy inside the cave became increasingly dense, gradually becoming so dense that it seemed almost tangible, forming a thin layer of spiritual mist, providing an excellent environment for cultivation.

In addition, he also set up a hiding formation, which was even more complicated. Ji Lin spent a lot of effort incorporating various rare materials into the formation.

The moment the formation was completed, the entire cave seemed to vanish from the world.

Not only is the location of the cave cleverly concealed, making it difficult to detect even when one is right next to it, but even more miraculously, this formation can also conceal the secrets of heaven. Even if a highly skilled master were to explore it with great supernatural powers, they would only see an ordinary mountain forest and would find it difficult to discover the anomaly hidden here.

Ji Lin had meticulously arranged many such wondrous formations in the cave.

Like a skilled craftsman, he meticulously sculpted the cave, transforming it into a secluded and ideal place for cultivation.

Afterwards, Ji Lin sat cross-legged in the newly opened quiet room at the deepest part of the cave.

Before him were three jade slips neatly arranged, each containing the essential cultivation techniques of the Jade Purity Immortal Technique, the Eight-Nine Profound Technique, and the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique.

In Ji Lin's plan, he would first lay a solid foundation for himself with the Jade Purity Immortal Technique, then use the Eight-Nine Profound Technique as an auxiliary cultivation method to improve his physique and supernatural powers, and finally take the Five Elements Primordial Technique as the main method to break through to a higher cultivation realm.

With this in mind, Ji Lin adjusted his state and slowly mobilized the magic power around him.

In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible and powerful force was pulling him, and countless spiritual energies surged and converged around him like a raging torrent.

The spiritual energy swirled and churned around him, emitting a buzzing sound, as if cheering that it was about to be incorporated into Ji Lin's cultivation system.

"The five elements revolve, and the primordial chaos returns to one."

Ji Lin chanted incantations, his voice steady and powerful. As the incantation was activated, five powerful spiritual energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth suddenly erupted from the depths of his internal organs.

These five streams of spiritual energy resembled five ferocious dragons, unleashing a world-destroying aura as they surged wildly through his meridians.

Wherever he went, his blood and qi surged like boiling rivers and seas, and the surging power made Ji Lin realize for the first time the endless potential contained in his five elements bloodline.

As the spiritual energy erupted, the entire cave was instantly enveloped in a five-colored glow.

The five colors of light—red, yellow, blue, white, and cyan—intertwined, creating a dazzling spectacle that illuminated the entire cave like a dreamlike fairyland.

Fortunately, Ji Lin had set up multiple arrays in advance; otherwise, such an astonishing commotion would have attracted countless cultivators who would have thought that a peerless treasure had appeared here and flocked to the site from all directions.

Inside the quiet room, Ji Lin's consciousness was undergoing a rigorous tempering process of the Five Elements' rotation.

Between the lungs and internal organs, the Geng metal energy was unstoppable, like countless peerless blades that instantly transformed into thousands of sharp swords, carrying a chilling killing intent as they roared toward the heart meridian.

The blade gleamed with a cold metallic luster, as if it could cut through everything in the world.

However, when the blade touched the heart meridian, a raging fire suddenly ignited, like a burning sea of ​​fire, instantly melting the Geng metal blade into molten metal.

The molten metal hissed under the high temperature, as if telling the story of the fierce clash of forces.

At the same time, within the Kidney Palace, the Xuanming True Water surged like a raging undercurrent, carrying an icy chill.

Just as this icy force was about to freeze Ji Lin's meridians and plunge his body into utter ruin, the liver wood energy timely gave rise to boundless vitality, like a spring breeze and gentle rain.

The vibrant life force transformed into beams of green light, spreading rapidly like thriving vines, dispelling the chilling crisis.

Five mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining forces engaged in a thrilling battle within Ji Lin's body.

Each force seemed to possess its own will, clashing wildly within his meridians and internal organs. The slightest misstep in this battle would lead to utter destruction and the annihilation of his body and soul.

Ji Lin's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, and his body trembled slightly, but his eyes were incredibly firm. He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain churning inside his body.

Ji Lin knew he had to remain calm. He concentrated all his energy, endured the excruciating pain in his body, and slowly sank his consciousness into his dantian.

He chose to let the power of the five elements flow freely, believing that they would find a balance through mutual checks and balances.

The five elements generate each other: metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. Following the principle of mutual generation, the five elements gradually form a perfect cycle.

At the very moment this cycle of the universe was formed, Ji Lin's five internal organs suddenly emitted a five-colored radiance.

The five-colored light, like five giant dragons, soared into the sky from his body, illuminating the entire quiet room.

At the same time, a huge and ancient Five Elements Array slowly emerged from the floor of the quiet room. Runes flickered on the array, radiating a mysterious and powerful aura, as if telling the story of an ancient and mysterious power.

Within Ji Lin's system space, the five light and shadow stones, which had been quietly suspended, suddenly burst forth with extreme light, as if summoned by some mysterious force.

The light was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the system space.

Without any human intervention, the five light and shadow stones flew out of the system space and circled around Ji Lin in a mysterious trajectory, emitting a soft yet powerful light.

Moreover, five different illusory images of light and shadow armor kept flashing around Ji Lin's body.

These phantoms were of various shapes and each exuded a unique aura. In an instant, these phantoms of light and shadow armor seemed to be fused with some powerful force, directly transforming into the phantoms of the Emperor Armor.

The phantom of the imperial armor was majestic and exuded unparalleled majesty. Under the influence of the powerful force, the phantom of the imperial armor on Ji Lin's body gradually became solid, as if it was about to be truly summoned.

Ji Lin was completely absorbed in his cultivation and was oblivious to the changes in the outside world.

With the blessing of the formation, the spiritual energy of the five elements in the cave became increasingly concentrated, and the spiritual mist, which was as solid as a substance, rolled and surged in the cave.

Outside the cave, the sun and moon continued their ceaseless cycle of change and rebirth…
