Su Yin was shocked. "Formed from the laws?"
Li Zhonger nodded. "The five elements are the foundation of all things. They are the foundation of all life and all objects. Naturally, they will become a law realm treasure. Similarly, if a treasure wants to reach this level, it must contain a specific law. This is also why I asked you to suppress the Origin Energy Pearl to prevent it from transcending the tribulation. There are no specific laws on how to transcend the tribulation. "
Su Yin was stunned.
This was the first time he heard this.
It seemed that breaking through to the law realm was not something that could be done by accumulating power. It was more about the comprehension and understanding of the Great Dao's laws.
"It's not that easy to break through to the law realm …"
Li Zhonger sighed and advised, "Don't think so much now. Even if there's a chance to break through, don't be in a hurry. You can only do it after you find the right direction!"
"Okay!" Su Yin nodded.
To become a law master, one had to find a specific law. This was a theorem.
Just as he was lamenting, Chi Yan's voice sounded in his ears. "This way please …"
Su Yin looked up and saw that they had already arrived in front of a tall mountain.
It towered into the clouds and gave off a metallic pressure. It was as if one was facing a sharp weapon and would be torn apart if one was careless. The mountain was bare, and there was not a single blade of grass. It was all black rocks.
He casually picked one up. It was extremely heavy and contained a large amount of copper, iron, and other metals.
It was the most powerful of the five elements, the golden mountain!
Sage Rushou lived here.
Following the stairs, a dazzling golden palace appeared in front of him. It was made of steel and stabbed into the void like a sword, as if it was going to split the sky apart.
Upon entering, a middle-aged man with sharp brows and sharp eyes appeared before Zhang Xuan. He was seated on a throne in the middle of the room, and a sharp aura emanated from his body. Just by looking at him, one would feel a slight pain in one's skin. Beside him was a middle-aged man with blue hair and brows.
Lin Xuan's face paled. "It's Gold Sage Rushou and Water Sage Gonggong …"
He did not expect these two, who were not friendly with humans, to be here.
It seemed that it would be difficult to persuade them to help.
"Master, I've brought them here …" Chi Yan cupped his fists.
"Okay!" Rushou nodded and looked at everyone. His eyes landed to the side. "Phoenix Emperor, long time no see. How have you been?"
"It has indeed been a while …" The Phoenix Emperor nodded.
As the Patriarch of the Phoenix Clan and a top-notch expert of the Divine Beast Clan, the Five Elements Saint had met them ten thousand years ago. They could be considered old friends.
"I didn't expect you to still be with humans …"
Rushou shook his head and ignored Phoenix Thearch. Instead, he looked at Su Yin. "You acted recklessly on my Reoshui River, causing the Heaven and Earth to stir as Yuan Qi to flow in reverse. Do you know your crime?"
Su Yin did not expect that the first thing the other party said upon meeting him would be to denounce him. Frowning, he bowed and clasped his fist. "When I was passing by the riverside, I was surrounded by Saint Toad Laurel and Saint Helplessness. I had no choice but to retaliate. If anyone is guilty, it should be the two of them and not me! What's more, we're fighting in the air, so we can restrain our power and not affect the river, let alone the lives in it. "
During the battle, both sides were afraid of triggering the restrictions in the Ruoshui River, so they both held back. Although the battle just now was fierce, it could be guaranteed that not a single fish died, so how could there be a calamity?
It was obvious that he was deliberately looking for a crime.
"The 36 Prime Saints of the human race are all indomitable figures. How did they raise such an irresponsible cultivator like you? You don't even dare to admit your crime? "Gonggong suddenly sneered.
"It's not my crime. Why should I admit it?"
Shaking his head, Su Yin did not explain further. He suddenly took a step forward. His glabella twitched, and the Primal Qi Pearl flew out and smashed down.
This time, he did not hold back. He used all of his cultivation. Sword Qi, Zhen Yuan, Time … all kinds of powers were mixed together.
Seeing that he had made a move, Rushou frowned but did not say anything. Phoenix Thearch and Lin Xuan were trembling in fear, feeling dizzy.
This was the Five Elements Sacred Land … Was he not courting death by making a move here?
As expected, Gonggong's face turned livid. His blue eyebrows rose as he roared, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he clawed out with his hand. A river seemed to have appeared in the air, traversing the heavens and the earth. The huge tide tore through everything. In an instant, Su Yin felt as if he had fallen into a huge river, drifting with the flow. His body and mind could not be controlled.
"How powerful!"
Su Yin raised his eyebrows with a serious expression.
He had thought that the other party was just an ordinary sixth rank pinnacle cultivator on par with Xiao Wu and Dahei. However, after exchanging blows with him, he realized that the other party was in no way weaker than Naihe and Toad Osmanthus!
In fact, the other party was even stronger!
And this was without the help of the Sacred Mountain. Once he did so … how strong would he be?
It was no wonder why the Celestial Thearch and Yellow Springs Saints did not dare to offend him.
Based on what Yang Xuan and Song Yu had said, the Celestial Thearch was divided into five powers — Heaven, Earth, Man, Five Elements, and Myriad Races.
Needless to say, the Celestial Thearch and Yellow Springs Saints had countless experts. As for the Man, the 108 Ancient Sages had joined forces back then, and they were probably the strongest in the Firmament.
Although the Five Elements Holy Land only had five experts, their battle prowess was still not to be underestimated, as they were able to stand shoulder to shoulder with such a powerful force.
"Break!"
With a low bellow, the Origin Energy Pearl spun abruptly. The surging waves collided with it, producing a muffled boom. Su Yin's face paled, and he retreated eight steps. Gonggong frowned, and his body swayed uncontrollably.
He had also suffered a small loss.
The Origin Energy Pearl had reached half-step Rule realm. No matter how strong Gonggong was, without the help of the Sacred Mountain, he would not have an easy time.
Su Yin grabbed at the air, and the Origin Energy Pearl returned to his glabella. He smiled faintly and looked at Gonggong. "Senior Gonggong, I wanted to kill you earlier, but you fought back. Is that a crime? Senior Rushou, how should I convict you? The scene back then was similar to this. If I didn't fight back, I would have been killed. Since that's the case, what crime am I guilty of? "
"This …" Gonggong and Rushou glanced at each other, unable to say anything.
They had thought that Zhang Xuan would refute them, and they had thought of how to make him admit his guilt, but they did not expect him to resist directly.
If they fought back, the so-called 'crime theory' would become a joke.
"Enough!"
Knowing that he would only embarrass himself if he continued pursuing the matter, Rushou interrupted Su Yin and said, "To dare make a move in my sacred land, the descendants of the thirty-six Saints are indeed bold! It's no wonder you can fight Firmament and Netherworld so fiercely. We have underestimated you. However, glib words are useless against me. If I'm not wrong, you are not just passing by, but have specially come to my Five Elemental Sacred Land! "
"Yes!"
Without denying it, Su Yin nodded and said, "I came here to cooperate with you to resist Firmament and Netherworld together!"
Rushou waved his hand. "My Five Elemental Sacred Land transcends the world. Why should we interfere in your grudges?"
The Five Elemental Sacred Land remained neutral. No matter who won, they would be roped in. There was no need for them to enter.
"Senior, you are mistaken. Although the Five Elemental Sacred Land transcends the world, the battle between Heaven, Earth, and Man is a battle of the entire Immortal World. Once it begins, who can remain aloof? Even if a lotus grows out of mud without being tainted, or a lotus blooming without being demonic, it will still be affected once the water in the lotus pond is gone! "
Su Yin said.
"I, the Five Elemental Saint, was born by Heaven and Earth. Even if the Immortal World is destroyed and all living beings are destroyed, I can still live in peace. You don't have to worry about me!"
Rushou interrupted him and said, "Alright, if you are here for this, I advise you to give up. If you insist, don't blame me for driving you away!"
Unexpectedly, Su Yin did not give him a chance to persuade him. He frowned and said, "Although the Five Elemental Sacred Land has transcended, it is not a paradise. I'm afraid that after Firmament Saint annihilates the Human Race, he will attack you and take control of the Five Elemental Sacred Land …"
Although he had only seen Firmament's consciousness once, he was sure that Firmament was a decisive and ambitious person. If the Human Race was really annihilated, it was hard to say whether the Five Elemental Sacred Land could survive.
"That is our business. You don't have to worry about it … Gonggong, take him away!" Rushou said.
Gonggong sneered and took two steps forward. "Let's go!"
"This …"
Su Yin frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not speak. He sighed and followed Gonggong out.
This Sage Jin was just as Senior Brother Lin Xuan had said. He was decisive and never hesitated. Once he had made a decision, it was obviously impossible to change it in a short time.
Unless he had the cultivation and strength to crush him.
Unfortunately, he had just exchanged a blow with Gonggong. Even if he used the Primordial Qi Pearl, it would be difficult to win, let alone the strongest of the Five Saints.
It seemed that he had to start with the other Saints. In fact, he did not need all five of them to support him. As long as he could break through any one of them, the Five Elemental Sacred Land would be united. In the eyes of Firmament and the others, it would become their full support.
But …
Who should he use as the breakthrough point?
His thoughts were spinning rapidly, and his eyes immediately fell on Gonggong.
This Water Saint's temperament was not as gentle as water, but he was very fiery and easily triggered.
Back then, he rammed into Mount Buzhou because he lost a bet to Firmament … If I can't have it, you can't have it either!
With this thought in mind, he turned to Lin Xuan and sent a telepathic message, "I remember you saying that something happened in the Five Elemental Sacred Land. Can I make use of it?"
"Something did happen. Fire Saint Zhurong fought with someone and was severely injured. After he returned, he was mocked by Water Saint Gonggong and fought with him several times! I was thinking that I could find Zhurong Saint directly and use his relationship with the human race to persuade him … Now that Gonggong is with him, I'm afraid that it won't be that easy! "
Lin Xuan frowned.
According to his previous plan, he should have brought his junior into the Five Elemental Sacred Land quietly and contacted Zhurong Saint secretly. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the chances of success would be much higher. Yet, as soon as he arrived at Ruoshui River, he was ambushed by two half-step Precepts realm experts and was forced to expose himself.
Thus, such a scene occurred …
"It's good that you know that!"
Su Yin smiled faintly. Thinking of something, he turned to look at Gonggong and said, "I was just trying to prove my innocence. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope that you can forgive me …"
"Hmph!" Gonggong waved his hand, not wanting to say anything.
Although the fight just now made him unhappy, he also admitted that this young man had the cultivation and strength to stand on equal footing with him.
Su Yin continued, "Firmament used despicable means to take over Mount Buzhou Sacred Land. Doesn't Water Saint want to take it back?"
"So what if I do? So what if I don't? "
Gonggong sneered. "If you don't face Firmament personally, you'll never know how terrifying he is. Even my five elements combined couldn't do anything to him. You don't think that you and those 36 half-dead teachers can defeat him, do you?"
Firmament was able to dominate the heavens for tens of thousands of years and easily exterminate countless powerful races because of his cultivation and strength.
Although this young man grew quickly and wasn't too weak, compared to Firmament, he was still too weak. They weren't even in the same world!
In fact, the comparison was an insult to the former.
Hearing him say this, Su Yin knew that he was interested. He said, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Raising his eyebrows, Gonggong looked unhappy. A murderous look appeared in his eyes. "What bet?"
"It's simple. You and I will have a fight. If I win, you support me. In the future, we'll go take back Mount Buzhou Sacred Land and help you vent your anger. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. I'll even become your slave … "
The corner of Su Yin's mouth rose. "Do you dare?"
Gonggong. "What bet? Making pills, making medicine, or seducing women? These are the methods of the human race. I can't compare. "
"Since it's a competition, of course it's cultivation and strength!" Su Yin said.
"Are you sure?" Gonggong sneered.
Although he admitted that this young man had the same strength as him, he didn't think that he could win.
"That's right!"
Su Yin nodded. "Let's bet on who can't take it first!"
"This …"
Gonggong narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. He wanted to see if he was scheming something. However, no matter how he looked, the young man's eyes were extremely clear. He didn't look like he was lying.
But … although the young man's cultivation was good, there was still a big gap between them. If they fought, he would lose without a doubt!
"Boss, do I bet?"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan transmitted his thoughts over.
Although he left the main hall, as the owner of the golden mountain, Jin Sheng could know everything that happened with a thought. Naturally, he also knew about the bet.
"If he can defeat you, it means that humanity is about to reach its peak. Man can conquer nature. So what if I support him?" Jin Sheng said calmly.
This young man had just arrived in the immortal world. It had only been two days, and his cultivation was only at the peak of the fifth rank. The gap between them was too big. Even if they didn't use the sacred mountain, they wouldn't be a match for him!
Hearing Jin Sheng's words, Jin Sheng sighed in relief. He looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes flashing. "Do you want to use that immortal bird and that qilin? They may have reached the peak of the sixth rank, but they're still no match for me! "
"Of course not. They don't have to fight!"
Su Yin waved his hand. Xiao Wu and Dahei flew out of the vitality pearl and landed on the ground.
"Junior Brother …"
This time, not only was Gonggong confused, but even Lin Xuan and the Phoenix Monarch were confused.
Xiao Wu and Dahei were his biggest trump cards. With these two, he could fight against a half-step Preceptor. How could he fight if he gave them up?
"I gave up everything except for my weapon. Are you still afraid?"
Ignoring everyone's confusion, Su Yin sneered, disdain in his eyes. "Looks like the so-called Water Saint is nothing more than this!"
Gonggong shook his head. "There's no need to goad me. I can make a bet with you, but let's make it clear. How do we fight?"
Su Yin said, "There are no rules. If you and I fight, whoever can't get up from the ground first will admit defeat! However, to prevent you from going back on your word, I want the other four Saints to be witnesses! "
Gonggong frowned, not knowing how to answer.
Although he was hot-tempered and reckless, he wasn't a fool. The other party must have something to rely on for him to be so fearless.
"Alright, let's return to the Metal Origin Palace!"
At this moment, Rushou's indifferent voice sounded.
Gonggong didn't say anything else. He brought Su Yin and the others back to the main hall. Soon, the air whimpered as three more figures flew in.
Earth Saint Houtu, Fire Saint Zhurong, and Wood Saint Goumang.
These three Saints were also half-step Preceptor, unfathomable.
"This is Su Yin of the human race. I'm sure everyone has heard of him. He came here today to …" Rushou explained Su Yin's purpose and the fight between the two in detail.
Everyone looked at each other, frowning.
They had all 'seen' the fight between the youth, Limbo, and Toad Gui. Although the youth wasn't weak, he was still far from their level. Without the two divine beasts, it was almost impossible to win.
"Since Boss has made his decision, we would like to see what means the descendants of the thirty-six Ancient Saints have to be so arrogant!"
The eyes of the three Saints glinted.
Seeing that they had agreed, Rushou nodded and said, "Let's begin then!"
"Come!"
With a slight leap, Gong Gong arrived at the center of the hall. His eyes widened, and his aura rose to its peak. The air in the room rumbled, as if a huge wave would sweep over at any moment.
Su Yin exhaled deeply. He didn't enter the stage right away. Instead, he turned to the red-haired middle-aged man beside him and said, "Su Yin greets Sage Zhurong. Before the fight, I have a request that I hope you can agree to!"
Zhurong was stunned for a moment. "Please speak!"
Su Yin said, "My weapon was a little lacking when I was forging it, so I couldn't fuse it together perfectly. I hope that you can use Fire Sage's Light Melting Fire to refine it!"
The Light Melting Fire was one of the Three Great Truefires of the Celestial World. It was on par with the Lifebound Flame of the Golden Crow and the Flame of the Parasol Tree.
"Isn't it a little too late for you to forge your weapon during the fight?" Zhurong reminded Zhang Xuan.
"It's indeed a little late for me to sharpen my weapon at the last minute, but it's more than enough to deal with the current situation," Su Yin replied with a smile.
Hearing those words, Zhurong didn't probe any further. With a flick of his finger, a crimson ball of flame flew toward Zhang Xuan. Su Yin's glabella twitched, and the Origin Energy Orb flew out and hovered above the ball of flame.
Even though the Bridge of Helplessness, Saint Origin Reservoir, and Firmament Orb had been fused together under the tempering of the art of smithing, it was just a simple accumulation of elements. With the Light Melting Fire, they were able to fuse perfectly with one another. The pure yang of the Saint Origin Reservoir and the pure yin of the Bridge of Helplessness were fused together.
Even though they were still at the level of Half-Laws, they had become more condensed.
After a moment of tempering, the Origin Energy Orb swayed slightly and absorbed the Light Melting Fire. Then, Su Yin walked to the center of the hall and looked at Gong Gong. "Let's begin!"
Gong Gong couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. His spine arched like a bow, and his arms shot forward like arrows.
There were no moves or rules, only brute force.
In an instant, Su Yin felt as if he was facing a raging flood. He didn't dare to face the other party, and he felt that he was unable to do so.
The waters of the Yellow River flowed from the sky and flowed into the sea, never to return.
Gong Gong's fist brought forth the might of a river and a lake, bringing forth rolling waves.
Not daring to face the other party's attack head-on, Su Yin quickly retreated.
Even though he had guessed that the other party's strength was extremely high, it seemed like he had still underestimated him.
The energy in the Origin Energy Orb surged into Zhang Xuan's dantian, and the True Dragon Sword materialized before him.
The main reason why Zhang Xuan dared to challenge the other party was because the Origin Energy Orb had reached Half-Laws, and it was perfectly compatible with him. As the two of them fused together, Zhang Xuan's body seemed to expand by a size. Sword qi whimpered as it clashed with the river before him.
Origin Energy surged, and the seals in the surroundings flickered, neutralizing the other party's might.
Lin Xuan had stayed in the Five Elements Sacred Land for several thousand years, so the seals here had long been set up flawlessly. Even though the two of them weren't weak, they weren't able to cause any damage to the other party.
"I can finally fight with my full strength! I'm almost suffocating to death!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had managed to block his attack, Gong Gong was overjoyed. He charged forward and punched once more.
He had always been a battle-hungry person, or else he wouldn't have challenged Cang Qiong and destroyed Mount Buzhou in a fit of rage. However, it was a pity that the Five Elements Sacred Land had always been a peaceful place. There hadn't been any fights in the past ten thousand years, and it had long driven him mad.
Now that he was going all out, it was as if two rivers had merged together, becoming even more ferocious and violent. In an instant, Su Yin felt the pressure he was facing doubling.
This was somewhat frightening, as the power of the fist was a one-time attack. Regardless of whether or not it hit its target, it would dissipate after the first attack. At this moment, the first attack had become the support for the second attack. With the two of them working together, even though Su Yin had been prepared for this, he was still somewhat flustered.
Ding ding ding ding!
Sword Qi whistled, and it was as if hundreds of longswords had appeared in the sky, clashing with the surging rivers.
"As expected of Li Qiaofu's disciple. His understanding of the way of the sword can be said to be number one …"
Rushou couldn't help but nod.
He had thought that it would be a one-sided battle as soon as they met, but now it seemed that this young man was indeed capable.
"His understanding of the way of the sword is very good, but what's more frightening is that he can grow in battle at an astonishing speed!" Houtu's eyes flickered.
Rushou grunted in agreement.
Not to mention the battle during the tribulation, just the battle of life and death on the Ruo Shui River had made this young man feel like a tiger trying to devour the sky when he first faced a half-step expert of the laws. However, after fighting for a while, he gradually gained control of the rhythm and defeated the two experts in the end.
He seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle against Gong Gong, but in fact, he was improving with every block. He was like a steady businessman who didn't care how much he earned in a short period of time. As long as he persisted in earning money, he would definitely be able to grow stronger!
"He is improving, but if he fights like this, won't he consume a lot of energy?" Ju Mang frowned.
Water Saint's attacks were too violent, and his power was endless, getting stronger and stronger. Under the crazy attacks, no matter how strong someone was, they wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
"As long as there is water, Gong Gong's power will be endless. If you can't get the upper hand in the beginning, it will be difficult to win …"
Zhu Rong shook his head.
No matter what level the competition was, a person's power and spirit were limited. If they used all their power, they would be exhausted very quickly. However, Water Saint was different. As long as there was water, his power would be endless, getting stronger and stronger.
The young man didn't seem to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, he would gradually be unable to resist and eventually admit defeat.
The battle continued. Gong Gong's power was just as he said, getting stronger and stronger. The entire hall seemed to have fallen into a huge whirlpool. The waves were endless, piling up stronger and stronger.
The young man was like a lone boat in the storm, about to capsize at any time.
As they had guessed, Su Yin felt his strength slipping.
If he kept attacking at a high intensity, no matter how much he accumulated, he wouldn't be able to hold on!
With a pale face, Su Yin was forced to retreat. Even his breathing wasn't as smooth as before.
"You're going to lose!"
Seeing the state that Zhang Xuan was in, Gonggong burst into laughter. He opened up all of his pores, and in an instant, countless droplets of water vapor gathered from the surroundings. After absorbing the droplets of water vapor, his strength recovered to its peak, and he threw out another punch.
Unable to resist, Su Yin was trapped in a corner.
"Admit defeat!"
Seeing that the young man was at the end of his rope, Gong Gong knew that the scales of victory were tilted to his side. Heaving a sigh of relief, Gong Gong waved his hand. Just as he was about to use his strongest move, he felt the water vapor in the air suddenly stop, unable to absorb anymore.
He hurriedly raised his head and saw dozens of Wutong leaves around him.
"What is this?"
Just as he was wondering, the Light Melting Fire that Zhu Rong gave him appeared and tapped lightly on the leaves.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the scorching flames burned the void, blocking all the water vapor he absorbed outside.
"This is … the Wutong Fire?"
Gong Gong narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
This was one of the Three Great Trueflames of the Celestial World. Once it was ignited, any water vapor would be vaporized. In other words, he wouldn't be able to draw on the water in the surroundings for the time being.
"So what if I can't draw on the water? You have already expended all of your strength, but I still have quite a bit of strength left. It's more than enough for me to defeat you! "
After recovering from his shock, Gong Gong thought nothing of it.
The Wutong Fire from the Wutong Leaves was indeed fearsome, but it would dissipate in a few dozen breaths. At that time, he would be able to absorb more water.
However, given the young man's current condition, he wouldn't be able to last that long!
"Dissipate? I don't think so! "
Su Yin's forehead twitched, and countless strands of saint spiritual energy flowed out from the Origin Energy Pearl. In the blink of an eye, his weakened body recovered to its original state. With a hearty laugh, he flicked his ten fingers forward.
Every single finger harnessed a powerful surge of sword qi, and in just two breaths, he had already shot out over a thousand surges of sword qi.
Previously, in order to numb the other party, he hadn't used his full strength, but now that he had revealed his trump card, there was no need for him to hold back anymore. With over a thousand surges of sword qi gathered together, their might was so great that even space itself trembled.
With just one move, the Water Sage was forced to retreat, his face pale.
He didn't think that Zhang Xuan would be so insidious as to go all out after cutting off his supply of energy. Seeing this, Gong Gong hurriedly retreated. He wanted to launch a counterattack, but he realized that he was already powerless.
"Although the Fire of the Parasol Tree is powerful, I don't believe that it can last for long without anyone controlling it!"
Gong Gong growled out once again while all his pores opened. The water power in the entire Five Elements Holy Land and the water in the Ruoshui River were all summoned by Gong Gong, surging over from all directions and bumping against the scorching Phoenix Tree fire.
Sizzle!
Water vapor rose like white clouds, enveloping the entire hall.
Even though the Wutong Fire was powerful, it was still unable to withstand the impact of such a violent flow of water and gradually dimmed.
Whoosh!
After swaying a few times, it finally went out.
"Haha! Let's see what other tricks you have! "
The water had extinguished the true fire, which meant that it had regained a steady flow of energy. All of the young man's previous actions had become mere decorations.
"Human Emperor's Sword Qi!"
Ignoring Gong Gong's excitement, Su Yin roared. The power of nineteen laws fused together and formed a Sword Qi filled with benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom.
"Millions of water vapor, give me body!"
Gong Gong sneered. As he growled, all the pores on his body turned into Taotie beasts in the blink of an eye, swallowing the water vapor that surged over.
As long as he swallowed enough water, he would be able to regain his strength and block the young man's attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The water vapor instantly entered his pores and he felt that his shriveled Dantian was once again filled up. Just as Gong Gong was about to throw out a punch to break the young man's Sword Qi, he felt his entire body stiffen, as if he was imprisoned by something.
It was as if he was about to be destroyed by something.
"There's something wrong with the water vapor. What's going on?"
Gong Gong's pupils constricted as his body swayed and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body seemed to be suffering unbearable pain as he fell from the sky and curled into a ball.
Hu!
Paying no heed to Gong Gong's words, Su Yin retracted his sword and placed the True Dragon Sword right before Gong Gong's neck. "You've lost!"
"I …" Gong Gong's face paled.
If the other party hadn't held back earlier, his head would have been severed by now.
Even with his strength, he might not die if his head was severed, but his cultivation would surely suffer a huge blow, making it difficult for him to recover.
"You don't want to admit it?"
Su Yin stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. The Sword Qi pierced his skin, causing him to feel pain.
Gritting his teeth tightly, Gong Gong sighed deeply and said, "I … admit defeat!"
He didn't want to admit it, but he had still lost.
The young man before him was clearly weaker than him, and his reaction wasn't as fast as his either. Even his moves weren't as refined as his either … How in the world did he win?
Heaving a sigh of relief, Su Yin retracted his sword. Only then did he feel his entire body going limp, unable to muster up any strength at all.
The young man before him was simply too fearsome. Even with the help of the Origin Energy Orb and some unique techniques, he was still nearly killed by the young man before him.
Since he had lost, Gong Gong straightforwardly asked the question that had been bothering him, "At my level, ordinary poisons are no longer effective on me. What on earth did you put in the water that stopped me from improving my cultivation within a short period of time, and even corroded my internal organs?"
The young man before him was the disciple of the Poison Saint, as well as the new Poison Saint. He must have left something in the water.
Just that … lethal poison shouldn't be able to do anything to a Saint like him!
Saints had transcended the mortal world. They could survive the tempering of the Thunder Tribulation. Even the most powerful arsenic, which was ten times more effective, would not be able to stiffen their bodies and immobilize them in such a short time, let alone ordinary poisons.
More importantly, as a Water Saint, he should be able to sense whether there was poison in the water. It was impossible for him to only notice it after absorbing it into his body.
If that was the case, there was no way he would have survived until now. He would have been poisoned to death many times over.
"I didn't put anything in. It's just … the problem with the water!"
Su Yin explained, "I evaporated the Northern Underworld Water and Weak Water into vapor for you to absorb!"
"Northern Underworld Water? Weak Water? "Gong Gong was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him.
As a Water Saint, he naturally knew of the effects of these two types of water. He had never seen them before, but he didn't expect to fall for it the moment he saw them.
"Feigning weakness, deliberately burning the parasol tree leaves to prevent him from absorbing the water vapor. This way, Gong Gong would think that this was your trump card and lower his guard. Then, he would launch a frenzied attack, leaving Gong Gong unable to retaliate. In a moment of desperation, he could only quickly devour the water. At that moment, you secretly released the Northern Underworld Water and Weak Water to make him absorb it into his body … What a good plan!"
Saint Rushou sighed and said wistfully.
The parasol tree leaves could only be ignited by three types of flames, and the Light Melting Fire was one of them. He secretly left a trace of it to ignite the leaves and confuse Gong Gong in order to make him absorb the two types of strange water vapor into his body …
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had Zhurong and the others testify. He had planned everything.
Su Yin smiled faintly, "Senior Rushou is too polite. My strength is far inferior to Senior Gong Gong's, so I can only use such petty tricks …"
Everything was according to plan. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
The Northern Underworld Water had the ability to make people stiff and cut off their cultivation. The Weak Water had the ability to penetrate the organs and damage the heart and lungs. With the combination of the two, even Gong Gong, a Water Saint, could only obediently fall for it.
Of course, as a super expert who had entered the Dao of Water, if given a certain amount of time and carefully studied its characteristics, he could quickly resolve it.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs … He had succeeded.
With his peak fifth-grade cultivation, he had defeated a half-step Rule Realm Water Saint.
"A victory is a victory. There's nothing to deny!" Rushou waved his hand.
"Boss …" Hearing Sage Jin's confirmation, Gong Gong's face turned pale. At this moment, he had already resolved the corrosion and imprisonment of the two types of special water vapor and stood up.
He had thought that he would definitely win the so-called bet and obtain a slave for free. Who would have thought that he would actually lose?
Did he really have to join forces with the other party and break the peace of the Five Elements Holy Land that had lasted for tens of thousands of years?
"According to the bet, Gong Gong can support you and even ally with you. However, it's only him and not the Five Elements Holy Land!"
Ignoring the Water Saint's words, Rushou tuned in.
"Yes!" Su Yin nodded.
When they made the bet, it was only a single person and not the entire Holy Land.
In his opinion, as long as Gong Gong appeared in the Human Emperor Holy Land, without outsiders knowing, they would naturally assume that he had the support of the Five Elements Holy Land.
Guessing his thoughts, Rushou said, "If that's the case, Zhurong, you will join forces with the Cangqiong Holy Land. This way, no matter who wins or loses, you will have a backup plan and won't be passive …"
Su Yin frowned.
Once Zhurong went to the Cangqiong Sect, it would be equivalent to the Five Elements Holy Land having a foot in both boats and making preparations for both sides … What was there to borrow?
There was no use at all!
Bowing and cupping his fists, Su Yin said, "I sincerely wish to cooperate with the Five Elements Holy Land. I hope Sage Rushou will reconsider …"
Rushou said, "It's not impossible to get all five of our Saints to support you. It depends on whether you are willing to do it or not!"
Su Yin's eyes lit up. He asked, "Senior, please tell me!"
Rushou said, "It's simple. Zhurong was injured in a battle and has yet to recover. If you can bring the Golden Crow Saint's Golden Crow Natal Flame and help him recover, the Five Elements Holy Land will ally with you against the Cangqiong Holy Land and the Netherworld Holy Land."
"This …"
Su Yin's expression turned ugly. "The Golden Crow Natal Flame is the core of the sun and the most important treasure of the Golden Crow Saint. If I go looking for it, it's tantamount to trespassing on the Cangqiong Holy Land …"
"If you are willing, then do it. If not, then forget it. I won't force you!"
Rushou said, "Of course, if you are unwilling, it means that your mind is not strong enough. I don't think there is any need to abide by the bet between you and Gong Gong!"
Su Yin fell silent.
If he succeeded, the Five Elements Holy Land would ally with him. If he failed, he would not be able to withstand the ceremony and die!
"I agree!" Su Yin took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
There were less than six hours left. If he couldn't hold on, he would lose everything. There was no other way out.
Rushou praised, "Very good. If you are going to do it, then do it as soon as possible! We will wait here … "
Su Yin nodded and said no more. He turned and walked out. Xiao Wu, Dahei, Phoenix Emperor, and the others followed.
Seeing them leave, Zhurong frowned and looked at the leader of the five. "The Golden Crow Natal Flame is hidden in the sun, and the sun lives in the ancient Fusang tree. As for the ancient tree, its roots are less than ten thousand miles away from the Mount Buzhou Holy Land … Isn't it too dangerous to let him take it?"
Houtu, Goumang, and the others looked over in confusion.
Even if the leader didn't like the successor of the human race, he shouldn't be so cruel as to send him to his death!
Rushou's eyes were deep. "It is very dangerous, but if we can't do that, how can the Five Elements Holy Land take the risk to ally with him?"
Everyone fell silent.
Agreeing to the alliance was equivalent to choosing a side. If they made the wrong choice, they would be doomed.
Gonggong could not help but say, "Then, we can choose not to agree to it. After all, I think it's pretty good now …"
With a sigh, Rushou interrupted him. "I can tell a little about Firmament's ambitions. Even if we stay here and don't make contact with anyone, he will still attack us once the human race is wiped out. He wants to control the world and control Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements! "
"In other words, even if we don't fight for it, he won't let it go. In that case, why don't we join forces and make a decision as soon as possible … Letting him find the Golden Crow Natal Flame is a bet and also a test. If he can do it, it means that the light from providence is on the human race's side. Firmament might really be able to retire from the stage of history."
"Of course, it will definitely be very dangerous. But if there isn't any danger, how can he obtain such a great opportunity? In short, let's hope he succeeds! "
Everyone was enlightened and did not say anything else. Even Zhurong fell silent.
Although he had a good relationship with the human race and did not wish for the latter to die, this involved the future of the Five Elements Holy Land. He could only listen to the Golden Sage and not say anything else.
