Chapter 1533: The Five Elements Reveal Their Mettle (Part One)

However, seeing that Elder Hao did not speak up, Great Master Lan, after her initial rebuke, did not stop Li Yan.

She knew that Li Yan had been studying and testing these chaotic powers for years. Elder Hao was even more aware of this, knowing that Li Yan at least wouldn’t joke about his own life.

Now, for a matter that both of them were helpless about, Li Yan was going to make a move. As long as Elder Hao wasn’t angry, she would just see what he intended to do.

In fact, Elder Hao had other thoughts. He had just used all his magical power to try and destroy the already cleared mountain cave, and all he could do was cause some rumbles.

After this Li Yan tried, he would know that his own years of research were nothing at all!

At the same time, due to Li Yan’s sudden action, after Great Master Lan reacted, she recalled something. It was their previous speculation that some of Li Yan’s experiences were very similar to those of a foreign soul cultivator!

If that were the case, then his current actions would not seem so abrupt. Under the circumstances of knowing that he might be able to get out, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to take a gamble.

People like Great Master Lan were sharp enough to see through anything. With just a little thought, combined with Li Yan’s reaction, they thought of many things.

The two magical treasures that Li Yan summoned were a pair of brushes. The bodies of the brushes were black and glossy, carved with many simple and unadorned patterns.

As Li Yan spoke, the two brushes had already left his hands and flew out, pointing directly at the chaotic powers ahead.

“The rank of this magical treasure should be… only at the Nascent Soul level. This can only be considered not bad!”

The moment the two brushes appeared in Li Yan’s hands, Elder Hao sensed the feedback of the aura fluctuations on the brushes under the infusion of Li Yan’s magical power, as well as a faint trace of soul power continuously drifting and fluctuating on them.

This was a magical treasure used by a soul cultivator, nourished by both magical power and soul power. This was a point of difference between soul cultivators and normal Dharma cultivators.

However, because soul power was useless in breaking through these chaotic powers before them, what was needed were arts or magical treasures driven by magical power.

Therefore, the intensity of the magical power displayed on the magical treasure had greatly overshadowed the soul power.

But for a Spirit Transformation cultivator, the level of a magical treasure of this rank was a bit low.

And this pair of brushes was precisely what Li Yan’s Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spike had transformed into. Except for the shape, he really hadn’t hidden anything else.

This pair of Gui-Yi Water-Parting Spikes was a growth-type magical treasure. After decades of nourishment, they had not been able to grow much, and their rank had only increased by a small part.

At this moment, Li Yan was looking ahead with full concentration.

When he was in the sky before, he had seen Elder Hao and the other fly into the mountain cave at the instant the formation below collapsed.

He had immediately hesitated, not knowing whether he should also follow them to take a look.

He was not the one driving the red light spiky ball. Without being able to use his Divine Sense, he had no sense of the situation inside the mountain cave and did not know if it had been broken through.

But he did see the chaotic powers at the cave entrance being ground into nothingness, and Li Yan’s heart was filled with anticipation.

Hesitating, he first sent out a stream of soul power. Soon, he sensed the aura fluctuations of the two people inside the cave. But to Li Yan’s puzzlement, the two were in a state of continuous retreat.

At this point, even if Li Yan didn’t know what had happened, he knew that the situation was probably not good.

To return to the outside world was his strongest wish. Ever since he arrived in the Earth-True Domain, all his efforts had been for this purpose.

Anxious, how could Li Yan have any more detailed plans? Ignoring everything else, he flew straight in.

And then he saw that as Elder Hao and the other retreated, the curtain of light formed by the chaotic powers in front was constantly spreading and pushing towards them.

With Li Yan’s insight, he immediately judged the situation before him. They had not broken through the mountain cave at all, but they had already made some achievements.

The space in the mountain cave was now normal, a distance of several hundred li. This was the result of Great Master Lan and the others’ breaking through.

Li Yan didn’t know how long this mountain cave was. But if these chaotic powers were allowed to continue to spread back, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be in vain?

Li Yan didn’t want these chaotic powers to spread any further…

The two brushes were like arrows released from a bowstring. In an instant, they arrived in front of the curtain of light formed by the chaotic powers.

The two brushes crossed each other, and in a left-right crisscross, they actually began to draw a circle on the curtain of light.

This made Elder Hao and the other, who had thought that Li Yan’s two-brush magical treasure would be sent flying back by the chaotic powers in the next moment, or even shattered into countless fragments…

…see an incredible scene. The moment the tips of the two brushes came into contact with the curtain of light, a pure, unadulterated water-attribute power suddenly emerged.

At the point where the tips of the brushes touched the curtain of light, the originally chaotic powers, as if drawn by an invisible force, began to move with the tips of the brushes.

Thus, the tips of Li Yan’s two brushes drew one circle after another, of different sizes. These circles were large or small, and occasionally, they would partially overlap.

Soon, these circles began to occupy a larger and larger area of the curtain of light, and the chaotic powers also moved with them.

Then, an even more bizarre scene appeared. A dark, gloomy light suddenly flashed on the two brushes. Wherever the tips of the brushes passed, the gloomy light on the tips was like a vat of thick ink, giving rise to a strange rule of inclusiveness.

Under the traction of this rule, the chaotic powers, while turning in circles, actually merged together and became pure water spiritual energy!

All this takes a long time to describe, but it happened in the space of a few breaths. Li Yan controlled the two brushes, his strokes like a spinning wheel of wind!

“This… is this the rule of the Taiji Yin-Yang Great Dao? But… but how can it change the power of other laws of heaven and earth…”

Elder Hao only glanced a few times and found that those circles had a pattern similar to the yin-yang fish.

He had already seen some of the tricks involved and couldn’t help but cry out in amazement.

“Seniors, quickly help draw away those water-attribute law powers.”

At this moment, Li Yan’s voice came over.

There was a strange tone in his voice, as if he was also feeling a kind of inexplicable surprise and astonishment at this phenomenon.

This time, it was still Elder Hao who reacted the fastest, while Great Master Lan was still standing there in a daze, her purple eyes fixed firmly on the circles Li Yan had drawn…

But Elder Hao had understood Li Yan’s meaning.

Although he still didn’t understand how Li Yan had done it, his reaction was not slow. He immediately raised a single hand and, with a pull forward, then a jerk back, he threw it into the air behind him!

In an instant, those pure powers that had already turned into water-attribute laws were immediately taken away from their original position by Elder Hao and thrown far behind him.

Then, a scene that excited them even more appeared. Those powers containing water-attribute laws that were pulled away by Elder Hao and thrown behind…

…because they were separated from their source, they only stayed in the air for a moment before they were immediately absorbed and integrated into the normal five-element powers of heaven and earth, turning into normal five-element powers!

“He’s… he’s transforming the chaotic rules, and then cutting off their source…”

Although Great Master Lan had also reacted, Elder Hao acted faster, so she did not make a move. But her pair of purple eyes had now become incomparably bright.

She also understood Li Yan’s intention. Li Yan’s main spirit root should be water-attribute. This guess of hers was of course correct. When normal cultivators used their magical power, they would only use the magical power of their main spirit root.

Then, with the help of that pair of magical treasures, Li Yan could actually temporarily turn these chaotic powers in front into a single water spiritual energy, which was the water-attribute law power among the five elements.

Great Master Lan could already see that this transformation could only be temporary. Therefore, those water spiritual energies, because they were continuously infused from the source, would quickly return to their original state.

Therefore, it was necessary to immediately draw away these powers that had become water-attribute laws, so that they would become a rootless source, making it extremely difficult for them to recover.

This was because in the world behind them, there was a large amount of normal five-element power. For spiritual energy that was no longer chaotic, it would be directly and normally absorbed.

The five-element rules of heaven and earth there, because they no longer needed to try to disperse those chaotic powers, became very easy to accommodate.

The principle is very simple. A rope made of various attributes, if you throw it into the water, it can only remain that rope. But after it turns into water or ice, it will naturally be absorbed by the water.

“What cultivation method did he cultivate? Elder Hao is right, it seems to contain the meaning of Taiji Yin-Yang!” Great Master Lan stared at the curtain of light, constantly thinking to herself.

For countless years, she had been studying the transformation of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, but she relied on the way of formations.

The method she used before, that red light spiky ball was actually mainly fire-attribute, but it required borrowing the power of the master’s heaven and earth, and even the terrifying magical power of a Body Integration Realm cultivator to drive it.

Only then could it forcefully disperse those chaotic powers. And those dispersed chaotic powers would also disappear into the world and return to the normal five elements.

This point was essentially very similar to Li Yan’s. But the difference between the two before was that one was using force to break a thousand armies, while the other was using skill to transform all things…

On the other side, Elder Hao, after seeing the water-attribute law power he had drawn away being integrated by the normal rules of heaven and earth, his eyes flashed with brilliant light.

Without stopping his hands, he continued to pull and lead, and more of the law powers that had been transformed by Li Yan in front disappeared behind him.

Then, in front of them, a small open space was revealed.

“Li Yan, what cultivation method is this? To have such power, amazing, amazing, hahaha…”

Seeing this situation, Elder Hao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
