Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Ji An continuously cast the Earth Escape Technique. The cultivators all possess extremely strong memories, and he could vividly recreate the route map in his mind.

Just like that, after rushing for two double hours, he finally arrived at the cavern where the Molten Armor Lizard was slain.

Based on the map display and his personal judgment, the terrain here was the lowest, making it a more suitable observation point.

From the Magma Lake, red mist billowed, and Ji An could see countless bubbles rising and then bursting inside.

He judged that there must be a channel directly connected to the Earth Lung Fire Vein in this Magma Lake, otherwise, such a strong reaction wouldn’t occur.

At this moment, the temperature here was already high. Ji An took out the Fireproof Bead, which had been rarely used since it was refined. Now, it finally came in handy.

He infused magical power into it, and the Fireproof Bead immediately expanded to create a space several zhang in radius, dispersing the dense Fire Spirit Mechanism.

The purpose of doing this was to block the fire evil qi brought by the spiraling Spirit Tide, to avoid physical discomfort. However, as the Spirit Tide continued to erupt, he would abandon this method to genuinely experience the changes in the Spiritual Mechanism.

About half an hour later, Ji An suddenly sensed a slight fluctuation of magical power in the cavern, and soon, he saw a cultivator in an ochre Daoist Robe appear.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprised that other cultivators found this place. If he, an outsider, could find it, of course, locals would be even more familiar.

Moreover, if he could buy a map, others could too.

This area had been secretive to him before, but perhaps not to others.

The cultivators entering here at this time must have the same purpose as him, all wanting to experience the mystery of Fire Generating Earth.

However, experiencing the Divine Intent is not conflicting; having outsiders here does not affect it.

Upon seeing him, the cultivator in the ochre Daoist Robe furrowed his brow slightly before nodding friendly.

Ji An was just about to greet him when he felt another fluctuation of magical power and saw a female cultivator in a red silk skirt appear, clearly navigating here using the Escape Technique.

”Why are there outsiders?”

The female cultivator’s face showed arrogance and displeasure.

”Hey, you over there, can you move to another place?”

Ji An’s face immediately turned grim. Move to another place, why not you?

Such words could be trivial—just an offhand remark from a domineering cultivator—but could also be significant, as obstructing one’s path.

”Junior sister, this fellow Daoist arrived here first. How could you make such an unreasonable request?

Besides, even if we arrived first, having one more person doesn’t affect our insights.”

The cultivator in the ochre robe looked at Ji An, clasped his hands, and said:

”Greetings, Fellow Daoist. I am Zhu Mingli, and this is my junior sister Jiang Chuchu, disciples of Huayang Daoist Master of Silver Moon City.”

He introduced himself affably, shaking his head in his heart helplessly; this junior sister was always willful and capricious, only appearing docile in front of their master.

Such a temperament would eventually suffer because cultivators who disregard their master’s reputation would be encountered sooner or later.

The female cultivator hmphed lightly, a trace of arrogance flashing across her face.

”So, it’s the esteemed disciples of Huayang Daoist Master. A pleasure to meet you, I am Ji An.”

Huayang Daoist Master is the city lord of Silver Moon City, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Ji An didn’t care about the female cultivator’s attitude; the disciple of a Golden Core cultivator would surely have some skills, and he didn’t want to cause conflict with them either.

He was unafraid of the two before him, but he couldn’t be aggressive after they mentioned Huayang Daoist Master.

The Wuji Xinghuang Banner scattered spirit light, golden flowers blossomed, and he moved back two zhang to avoid being in close proximity to the two.

The three cultivators stood quietly by the Magma Lake, and Ji An could sense that the other two were communicating through transmission, discussing something unknown.

His heart stirred, and the Earth-Departing Flame Banner was also summoned.

The magnificent glow of the Spiritual Artifact caught Jiang Chuchu’s attention. Her imperious demeanor showed a hint of surprise; being able to wield two top-grade Spiritual Artifacts simultaneously indicated that the other’s Dantian was nurturing two Spiritual Artifacts.

At this moment, she could infer the strength of the Primordial Life Fire of the cultivator before her, a level she could not currently reach.

Upon realizing this, the pride on her face diminished; encountering truly powerful cultivators, necessary respect was still warranted.

...

Another day passed like this, and Ji An found the swirling of the Spirit Tide more intense, with the red cloud and mist above the Magma Lake spreading throughout the entire cavern.

”Fellow Daoist Ji, I have a proposal to discuss with you.”

Upon hearing the call, Ji An responded:

”Fellow Daoist, feel free to speak.”

Zhu Mingli smiled and said:

”Now that the Spiritual Mist is obscuring everything, our vision is hindered. I suggest we refrain from moving around to avoid any misunderstandings.”

”What you said is very true, and I shall endorse it.”

Ji An nodded slightly, initially not trusting the two, and now, the other’s initiative to propose it was welcomed.

The Fire Element Spiritual Energy became increasingly explosive, with more Fire Fiend spewing out, inevitably accumulating within him.

In just one day, the accumulated Fire Fiend surpassed the amount from the previous five days.

Within Ji An, two Fire Dao Seeds flashed alternately, and the light from the Fire Element Divine Mansion was more brilliant than usual.

He inhaled the Fire Spirit Qi, feeling a weak burning sensation from the Immortal Vein.

With eyes half-closed, he felt the rampant Fire Spirit Qi and the echoes of the swirling Spirit Tide in the cavern.

The rising fiery magic intent could be distinctly sensed, along with the brewing of even stronger Fire Power.

The Five Elements is a state of properties, Ji An reminded himself, calming his mind, quietly awaiting the peak moment of the Spirit Tide.

The Fire Element is of a rising nature, but the Earth Element is of a heavy and inclusive nature; how does fire generate earth?

If the changes of Yin and Yang are added, how should it be understood?

Ji An felt as though he had grasped something, yet something was still missing...

Yin and Yang are constantly changing, opposites yet unified; zealousness is yang, decline is yin.

Is the effect of Bing Fire greater on Fire Generating Earth, or is it Ding Fire, or are they balanced?

Ding Fire is warm and feminine, nurturing Ji Earth, while Bing Fire is explosive and masculine, nurturing Wu Earth.

A lone yin and a lone yang are not lasting; Bingding Fire must move together to breed Wu and Ji Earth.

Ji An’s mind raced, with the qi roasting the Immortal Vein not affecting him negatively.

At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness was instead clear, with time seemingly slowing and thoughts becoming particularly lucid, as if entering a sage-like time.

Unaware of how much time had passed in the real world, Ji An felt a stir from the depths of his bloodline, and the red Spiritual Mist transformed into a golden-red hue at that moment.

So radiant, so dazzling.

The ascending Fire Element Spiritual Qi emitted strands of black smoke that fell, transitioning fire power from movement to stillness in an instant.

The flutter in Ji An’s heart vanished, and it was as if a massive hidden mouth in the Magma Lake swallowed all the golden-red Spiritual Mist.

He perceived the veins just now, causing a sudden shock in his heart.

Ding Fire condensed into Bing Fire, achieving Yin-Yang Transformation. After the momentary brilliance, Bing Fire’s embers drifted onto Wu Earth.

But it wasn’t over yet; Wu Earth quickly waned, partially transforming into Ji Earth, completing the entire transformation of Fire Generating Earth after combining yin and yang.

The rising power formed a solid foundation, having undergone multiple Yin-Yang transformations.

The Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture automatically began circulating, completing a cycle in a single breath.

In the acupoints, the Fire Dao Seed and Earth Dao Seed shone brilliantly.

Spirit Water Nourishing Wood, Wood Ascends and Fire Arises, Fire Sinks and Earth Emerges, Thick Earth and Gold Gathering, Gold Collects Water and Gives Birth.

As the qi flowed from the Fire Element Divine Mansion, it had always been red before, but now the red had lightened and showed a warm yellow.

In the Dantian, the Primordial Life Fire blazed fiercely, with the red flame layer visibly expanding.

At the same time, the originally distinct boundary between red flame and yellow flame blurred.

The Stone Turtle slightly opened its mouth, spewing five breaths of Clear Spirit Qi, making the Primordial Life Fire even more vibrant.

The mutual generation of the Five Elements, Fire Generating Earth, was achieved today!

Joy surged from inside, filling his chest. Ji An’s lips slightly curved, his pupils turned red, and in the next instant changed to bright yellow, with the visions slowly fading away.
