Chapter 539: Useful ancient knowledge
"The Five Elements, mutually generating and restraining each other, nurture and promote one another. For instance, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. These are the fundamental elements that constitute the world. The appearance of the five tones, five flavors, five colors, five transformations, five internal organs, and five senses are not coincidences but results corresponding to the Five Elements..."
In the lecture hall, the elder responsible for imparting knowledge was passionately explaining the "Five Elements General Outline" on the podium. He was so engrossed that he was shaking his head and spraying saliva everywhere. When he got excited, he even gesticulated wildly.
In the mental space, Immortal Fairy yawned, wanting to sleep, with tears at the corners of her eyes. The elder's teaching level was far inferior to Bu Yu Taoist's, making it utterly uninteresting.
"So boring, Jiuchong Immortal has already talked about these things."
"Isn't Jiuchong Immortal's Dao fruit the Yin-Yang Dao fruit? How is it related to the Five Elements?"
"Have you forgotten Jiuchong Immortal's cultivation method?"
Lu Yang pondered for a while. Immortal Fairy had mentioned it once during his time at the Immortal Sect, but he couldn't recall the exact name, only remembering that it involved many numbers.
"Numerical Immortal Technique?"
"Calling it the Numerical Immortal Technique isn't wrong, but to be precise, it's called the 'Chaos One Qi Two Yi Three Talents Four Symbols Five Elements Six Harmonies Seven Luminaries Eight Desolations Nine Earths Ten Heavens Only I Am Supreme Immortal Technique.'"
No wonder he was the first to become an immortal; even the name of his technique was longer than others.
"Jiuchong Immortal has done extensive research on Chaos, Yin-Yang, and the Five Elements. He deliberated for a long time between the Chaos Dao fruit, Yin-Yang Dao fruit, and Five Elements Dao fruit, spending an entire Tribulation Crossing stage to decide, and finally chose the Yin-Yang Dao fruit."
"Why didn't he choose the other two?"
"In Jiuchong Immortal's words, it was probably fate. There is a destiny in the unseen."
"Fate?" Lu Yang felt the sentiment in Jiuchong Immortal's words, a kind of fatalism filled with helplessness.
Immortal Fairy had said that some immortals believe in fate while others do not. Immortal Fairy belonged to the latter, while Jiuchong Immortal seemed to belong to the former.
"Yes, Jiuchong Immortal found it difficult to make a choice. Each of the three Dao fruits had its pros and cons, and he finally resorted to drawing lots."
"He went to great lengths to draw lots, first exhausting various secret treasures to construct a grand formation in the universe that shielded divine sense, with nodes based on stars. Then he had us act as guardians, and finally, he closed his eyes and sealed his five senses and seven perceptions to ensure no external interference, before drawing lots with peace of mind."
"The result of the draw was the Yin-Yang Dao fruit."
"Jiuchong Immortal wasn't satisfied with just one draw, so he shuffled the order and drew two more times, both resulting in the Yin-Yang Dao fruit."
"If one time could be an accident, then three times with the same result must be destiny."
Lu Yang thought to himself, wasn't the probability of getting the same result three times in a row just one in nine?
He remembered that Lu Yang had said a lot just now, but he couldn't recall a single word.
What did he say?
"Elder, elder?" Lu Yang called out twice, and the elder finally came back to his senses.
"Ah, ah?"
"Elder, you weren't daydreaming just now, were you?"
The elder coughed twice, pretending not to hear Lu Yang's last sentence. "Ahem, Lu Yang's answer was more or less correct. Let me reiterate, five is the most stable number in nature."
"For example, the central dynasty and the four regions of east, west, south, and north, the five major immortal sects, the five branches of the Five Elements Sect, the four major demon cults, and the unknown Heavenly Court Sect."
"According to the theory of the Five Elements, the Heavenly Court Sect is very likely to become the fifth major demon cult, forming a 'five.'"
"And you five, you are the most outstanding five of the younger generation in the Seek Tao Sect, which also aligns with the theory of the Five Elements."
Meng Jingzhou quietly sent a message to Lu Yang: "Impressive, how did you manage that? I didn't remember a single word you said."
Lu Yang replied seriously, "It's an ancient secret technique, only I can perform it."
He breathed a sigh of relief. The immortals' forgetfulness trait had helped a lot.
The elder quickly moved on to the main topic of the day: "Now let's talk about the knowledge of Five Elements spells. Who among you is most familiar with Five Elements spells?"
"Him."
The four of them pointed at Lu Yang in unison, almost catching him off guard.
The elder was slightly surprised but very pleased. "Oh, I heard you have a sword spiritual root. I didn't expect you to be proficient in Five Elements spells as well. How did you cultivate your Five Elements spells? Tell us."
Lu Yang scratched his head awkwardly. How was he supposed to explain this? He had cultivated spells effortlessly, never encountering any bottlenecks.
"It's all about feeling. I just practiced casually and succeeded."
Although the effects of the spells were uncertain, he indeed succeeded by practicing casually.
The second update will be at eleven.
