The timing of Nangong Lingyun's exit from seclusion was a bit unfortunate, as the training camp's last rest day had just ended.
He had to wait another six days before accompanying Gu Yuena to the Flaming Mountain.
Located in the Southern Great Desert near the southern side, it was just a little further to the southernmost point of the entire Douluo Continent.
It was called a mountain, but when they actually arrived, they discovered it was a giant pit.
It was tens of thousands of feet deep, and clear fault lines could be seen on the mountain walls, almost piercing through the entire crust.
From a distance, a huge pillar of fire, as if about to pierce the sky, spewed out from the pit.
The bottom was purplish-black, gradually changing from bottom to top to black-red, purplish-red, deep red, bright red, orange, tangerine, and finally a golden hue.
A large expanse of the nearby sky was illuminated by these distinct layers of firelight, creating a spectacular sight.
A large number of fire-attribute creatures lived around the Flaming Mountain, another major group comparable to the ice and snow Spirit Beasts of the Northern Icefield: desert Spirit Beasts.
However, due to the extremely harsh weather, it was difficult for human Spirit Masters to survive.
This, like the Northern Icefield, was often overlooked by other Spirit Masters who were not of the ice or fire element.
As soon as Nangong Lingyun appeared, a huge bird covered in colorful feathers flew out of the pillar of fire.
Its abdomen was a dazzling black, its wings were a fiery red, its tail feathers were blue, its neck was orange, and its back was purple. The transitions were gradual, so it didn't look abrupt, but rather exceptionally gorgeous.
Among all the colorful hues, gold was the rarest, only a small tuft of golden hair grew on its head.
No, accurately speaking, it should be called a 'cowlick' because those few feathers stood upright, appearing unruly.
Its image had nothing to do with a crow. Instead, it looked more like a rooster, with a long tail feather floating behind it, almost longer than its body.
Well, since the Flaming Mountain was a pit, it was perfectly reasonable for the Solar Golden Crow to be a colorful rooster.
Carrying endless firelight, the Solar Golden Crow crashed to the ground with a bang.
Before it could even stand firm, a slightly shy voice had already reached his ears.
"Solar Golden Crow greets Master. May Master live forever and unify the world."
Nangong Lingyun was a little dumbfounded. So far, among his five Beast Controls, only the Blue Silver Emperor hadn't taken much effort.
The others had all required a fierce fight to successfully subdue them. The Dragon God Turtle had almost exhausted him.
This Solar Golden Crow, with a Cultivation base as high as 300,000 years, was even more humble than Ah Yin back then?
Could this be the value of the Silver Dragon King?
Gu Yuena was still a kind person!
Perhaps guessing Nangong Lingyun's thoughts,
before he could ask, the Solar Golden Crow took the initiative to explain:
"Master, I heard that your Beast Taming Space can help Spirit Pets evolve their bloodlines. Wuwu, I really want to improve.
I can't wait, I'm as eager as a wolf, seizing every minute and second.
Should we make a contract right now, or should Golden Crow treat you well first?
There is a kind of golden crystal in the bottom of this lava. It makes my belly warm after eating it. There is nowhere else to find it; it can be considered a local specialty of the Flaming Mountain."
What else could Nangong Lingyun do? Of course, he accepted it all.
"Since you're seizing every minute and second, let's do it now."
Just ten minutes later, the tenth-ranked powerful ferocious beast on the entire Douluo Star was successfully brought into his pocket.
Because it was a ferocious beast and had experienced two Thunder Tribulations,
the Solar Golden Crow instantly transformed into a hot and spicy beauty with exotic Western Region customs, using a few semi-transparent silk-like fabrics wrapped around her neck, wrists, ankles, and other key parts.
With a gentle breeze, countless ribbons fluttered behind her. Before she even started dancing, it already made people's minds run wild.
Her face was very delicate, especially those orange eyes and the fiery red lips were extremely eye-catching. Nangong Lingyun excitedly named her Nangong Naza.
Then, he held her hand and kept asking questions, which made Gu Yuena grit her silver teeth and her eyebrows twitch wildly.
The Divine Armament transformed from the Solar Golden Crow had a different style from the other Beast Controls.
It was a gorgeous fan, presenting five colors of black, red, blue, orange, and purple, which could release five kinds of flames with different Functions and characteristics.
After some discussion, the three of them finally named it the Five Fire Divine Phoenix Fan.
The Solar Golden Crow wanted to improve, and Nangong Lingyun wanted it even more.
On the night he returned to the academy, he found Shui Binger and completely replenished the last missing water attribute of the first set of Yin Yang Five Elements.
Late at night, after finishing his hard work, he immediately began his seclusion again.
As expected, when the Yin Yang Five Elements were completely unified, a huge change suddenly occurred in his body.
The Yin and Yang were fine. His Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang Cultivation Method was already close to perfection.
However, the five elements of energy, at the moment of forming a cycle, drilled into the corresponding five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, each transforming into a wisp of peculiar innate spiritual energy.
It was very different from the True Qi cultivated by the Cultivation Method. It could be clearly felt that it was a higher level of energy.
The sixth Spirit Ability, Five Elements Creation, the million-year Supreme God King level Spirit Bone with two elemental affinity abilities, plus the appearance of innate five elements spiritual energy,
everything was ready, only the opportunity was lacking.
Nangong Lingyun decided to officially start cultivating the third stage of the Chang Sheng Jue.
Also, because the time each woman had spent cultivating the Yin Yang Great Dao varied, the five elements attributes were now unbalanced, with Xiao Wu's metal attribute being the strongest and Shui Binger's water attribute being the weakest. Coincidentally, metal generates water.
Therefore, the first of the five elements was determined to be water.
Having cultivated the Chang Sheng Jue for many years, entry was no longer a difficult task for him now.
In just half a day, the first wisp of innate cold ice True Qi was born at the speed of light from the water of the five elements.
Nangong Lingyun directly lived in Shui Binger's Chuxiu Palace, running the Cultivation Method during the day and comprehending the Yin Yang Great Dao fiercely at night, making rapid progress.
It is worth mentioning that, as he began to cultivate the five elements Cultivation Method, that wisp of innate five elements spiritual energy gradually grew stronger,
making his corresponding organs more and more powerful.
And the water attribute was residing in the kidneys, so Shui Binger had been suffering a little during this time.
After a month like this,
Nangong Lingyun moved his base to Changchun Palace and officially took in Ye Lingling, using water to generate wood. The wood of the five elements also entered the door in an instant and grew rapidly.
Fortunately, Lingling had Ah Yin to help, so she was not as tired and exhausted as Shui Binger.
But after another month,
Nangong Lingyun had no choice but to break through his seclusion.
The five elements Cultivation Method was different from Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang each had a Spirit as a carrier. In terms of Cultivation, it was equivalent to corresponding spiritual roots.
There was no problem in cultivating one alone.
However, because the carriers of the five elements were the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, they had to be kept as balanced as possible, and all the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth great cycles had to be generated in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, he could only temporarily suppress the speed of progress.
So now, he needed Liu Erlong to help him cultivate.
Not only Liu Erlong's fire, the second set of five elements was also lacking earth and metal. Water was also lacking, but Shui Binger happened to connect the end of the first set and the beginning of the second set.
Nangong Lingyun looked at the balance of more than 200 million on his account and thought for a while, deciding to start the summoning Dafa.
Money is a bastard; you can earn it back after spending it, but Time waits for no one.
