The eagle's territory.
Ye Zichen sat cross-legged on the ground. Waves of heat melted the ice and snow around him.
Raging flames burned around him. From where he stood, he couldn't see any vicious beasts at all.
The flying beasts were gathered together, and the eagle stood by their sides, trying to calm them down.
From time to time, it glanced at Gu Luolin, as if asking how long it would take for Ye Zichen to disperse the flames.
Time was fleeting like a white steed flitting past a crack.
No one knew how long the baptism of heavenly fire and lightning lasted. Only Ye Zichen, who was immersed in comprehending the Dao, could clearly sense his understanding of the Five Elements growing clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, Ye Zichen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.
His eyes were actually emitting tangible flames. His eyes that were burning with raging flames were able to make his vision unobstructed in the pitch-black darkness.
"I never would have guessed that complete mastery of fire would improve my Fiery Eyes of Truth as well."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. The Great Sage's fiery eyes had been refined by Old Lord Taishang after all. If he wanted to improve his Fiery Eyes of Truth any further, he'd need an inferno.
Then Ye Zichen noticed the condors and the others gathered together in the distance. When he saw their timid expressions, Ye Zichen took advantage of the opportunity to disperse his flames and lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the snowy mountain range returned to its former brightness.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
The flying beasts cried out. The eagle stood in front of the other flying beasts and shouted a few times. The other flying beasts returned to their duties, but before they left, they kept glancing at Ye Zichen.
Afterwards, Gu Luolin and the eagle flew through the sky and landed in front of Ye Zichen.
"Not bad. You've improved your Dao to such an extent in such a short time."
Gu Luolin commented like an elder, but at the same time, she reached out and patted Ye Zichen on the shoulder in apparent comfort.
Unfortunately, there was a difference in height, so when she patted Ye Zichen's shoulder, Gu Luolin tiptoed cutely.
He took out his phone and looked at the time. Ye Zichen hadn't expected to reach complete mastery of his fire, lightning, and lightning elements in less than three days.
Ye Zichen was a bit stunned by this terrifying development. He gently removed the crown from his head.
Ye Zichen stared at it for a long time!
This crown was truly a peerless treasure. It was as if it was tailor-made for him.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had the opportunity to transcend, and that he had too many competitors around him, he might have taken the opportunity to fully comprehend the wind element and condense his Dao Heart.
But it was strange, if one cultivated any one of the five element Dao Arts alone, then one would condense a Dao Heart upon attaining perfection.
Back when Ye Zichen's Dao Heart had reached the peak of the Rain Element, it hadn't appeared.
He had yet to condense his Dao Heart for the fire, lightning, and lightning elements.
"From the looks of it, the Dao of the Five Elements needs to be perfected in order to condense a Dao Heart."
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, then gently brushed the air.
Of the five elements of the Dao of the five elements in the world, besides the wind element, all the other elements were extremely close to him.
The moment he stretched out his hand, he could feel the surrounding elements cheering and leaping towards him.
This meant that in the future, he'd be able to use these elements with even greater ease.
In truth, after waking up, Ye Zichen still felt like he'd taken a wrong turn. He looked up at the palace at the top of the mountain. If he could fly, then reaching the palace would be much easier. But if he couldn't, then he'd have to walk a mountain path.
When he was comprehending Daoist techniques, he should have comprehended the wind element to perfection and condensed his wings.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Epiphanies and opportunities were hard to come by.
Just now, he'd clearly gained a deeper understanding of the fire, lightning, and lightning elements. If he spent too much time comprehending the wind element in order to condense his wings and head to the palace, he'd give up on the easier elements. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Although he hadn't condensed his wind element wings, Ye Zichen was satisfied that he'd reached perfection in the other three elements.
However, his only regret was that his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth had improved by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, he was still at the sovereign level, and his domain hadn't expanded much either. Based on his current strength, he was roughly at the divine general level.
"Hey, stop immersing yourself in it!"
Gu Luolin couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw Ye Zichen staring at his palm.
"I couldn't help myself." Ye Zichen smiled and retracted his hand, then cupped his hands sincerely towards Gu Luolin. "This progress is all thanks to Miss Gu's reluctance to part with your treasures."
"Don't mention it. You're my nephew. As a senior, it's only natural for me to take care of my juniors."
"....."
Ye Zichen's expression darkened. Being called nephew by a little girl like her felt awkward no matter how you looked at it.
Ye Zichen didn't dwell too much on the topic of seniority. He knew that if he tried to emphasize it, they'd start a never-ending argument.
Seeing that she was young, Ye Zichen decided to let her have her way out of kindness.
She felt like she was his senior, but Ye Zichen definitely wouldn't admit it!
"Have there been any intruders recently?" asked Ye Zichen.
"Intruder, what nonsense are you spouting!?" Said Gu Luolin disdainfully. "You have no idea how big of a ruckus you've caused. The sky is filled with lightning and fire. It's pitch-black. Who would dare move? Intruders? I'm afraid those who entered the mountains would tremble in fear if they saw what you've done. "
Ye Zichen smiled wryly. He naturally didn't know what had happened while he was comprehending the Dao.
It was just like when he was comprehending the Dao of Rain. He couldn't control the auspicious rain at all. He'd been performing simulations in his sea of consciousness, but the auspicious rain had appeared on its own in the outside world.
It was obvious that the lightning and fire Gu Luolin spoke of had fallen while he was comprehending the Dao.
"It's not bad if there aren't any intruders. Eagle's clansmen have suffered heavy casualties. Many of them have yet to recover from their injuries. If an intruder comes now …. "
"So what if they come?" Gu Luolin put her hands on her hips in disdain.
Ye Zichen instantly swallowed the rest of his words.
She was right. So what if an intruder came?
With an ancestor like her around, even Kui Lin didn't dare breathe too loudly. He didn't even dare talk back. He'd just run away. If anyone else came, they'd probably be so frightened they wouldn't even be able to stand.
"Heh, there's nothing we can do. With you here, who would dare cause trouble? "laughed Ye Zichen.
"Hmph!"
When Gu Luolin heard this, she raised her head arrogantly. However, she was actually quite unhappy in her heart.
Although she was young, she knew that those people were afraid of her. In truth, they were afraid of her parents and grandfather. Without their protection, the people here wouldn't even put her in their eyes.
Ever since she was young, she'd been protected by the three half-step transcendental elders of her clan. She'd always hoped to rely on herself to make others treat her differently. That was why she was so eager to grow up. Whenever she met Ye Zichen, she'd always emphasized that she was his elder.
All of this was a symbol of her desire for independence.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Gu Luolin thought about what to do after she grew up, while Ye Zichen pondered how to get Gu Luolin or the eagle to send him to the palace.
At the end of the day, Ye Zichen felt that the greatest opportunity was hidden in the palace.
The two of them didn't speak. Silence enveloped the area, and the howling winds of the mountain range rang clearly in their ears.
"From what I saw just now, it seems like you've comprehended lightning, fire, and lightning to perfection," said Gu Luolin suddenly.
"That's right."
"Then does that mean you comprehended the Great Dao of the Five Elements?"
Ye Zichen nodded again.
"Not bad," Gu Luolin smacked Ye Zichen's shoulder. "Ever since the Five Elements Great Emperor died, there haven't been many people who've dared walk the Great Dao of the Five Elements. You're so young, yet you've already comprehended three elements to perfection. No wonder you're my nephew. "
"Nephew!"
"Ahhh, that's right, nephew!"
"Also, I comprehended four elements. My rain element is perfect as well."
"Isn't that even better? No wonder you're my nephew!"
"Nephew!!!"
Ye Zichen didn't know why he corrected Gu Luolin's way of addressing him as nephew. It was as if he had truly admitted that he was her junior. Actually, Ye Zichen didn't admit it. It was purely because Gu Luolin was an idiot when it came to relationships between family. Ye Zichen felt very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but correct her.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere turned cold once again.
Actually, Ye Zichen and Gu Luolin's conversation just now was just an awkward conversation. His mind wasn't even there. After he woke up, his mind had already flown over to the palace.
It was clear that he wouldn't make it in time to hurry down the mountain to the palace. The others had already advanced a great deal towards the palace while he was comprehending the dao. If he went down the mountain to the palace now, he would encounter ferocious beasts on the way, which would waste quite a bit of time.
By the time he got there, the fortune in the palace might have already been taken by someone else.
The only way to reverse the process was to fly over, and the only ones who could do that were Big Condor and Gu Luolin.
"…"
Ye Zichen glanced over at Gu Luolin, but didn't know what to say.
"Do you want me and Big Condor to give you a ride?" Gu Luolin shook her head mischievously, then ran in front of Ye Zichen with a chuckle.
"You could tell, you've been looking towards the palace from the start. Even an idiot can tell," Gu Luolin glared at him. Gu Luolin glared at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. When you were comprehending the Dao, I told Big Condor to bring you over, and Big Condor agreed. But you kept saying yes?
Nope, you don't seem to be in a hurry, so I just told you. "
"How am I not in a hurry? I'm in a hurry!" Ye Zichen shouted urgently.
