Tang Changsheng heeded his ancestor's instructions, knowing this was a critical moment to change his destiny, one he could not afford to fail. He would first consume the Marrow Cleansing Immortal Fruit, then use the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill to awaken his Five Elements Spirit Body, taking it to the next level.
Tang Changsheng plucked the Marrow Cleansing Immortal Fruit. Its surface was smooth as jade, exuding a refreshing fragrance that invigorated the mind. He took a deep breath.
Protected by his ancestor's divine soul power, he swallowed it in one gulp. It melted upon entry, a cool liquid flowing down his throat into his stomach, instantly transforming into gentle yet powerful energy that spread through all his meridians.
Under the guidance of his ancestor's divine soul power, it circulated within his body.
As the power of the Marrow Cleansing Immortal Fruit gradually permeated him, Tang Changsheng felt the impurities and turbid qi within his body being cleansed little by little. His meridians became purer and wider, and his spirit root improved incrementally.
A layer of black impurities began to seep from his skin, toxins expelled from his body during the marrow cleansing process.
The surrounding spiritual energy also seemed to be attracted by the power of the Marrow Cleansing Immortal Fruit, converging towards Tang Changsheng's body, forming a small spiritual energy vortex.
The combination of the heaven and earth spiritual energy and the Marrow Cleansing Immortal Fruit's power allowed Tang Changsheng to draw qi into his body and slowly increase his cultivation, even without a cultivation technique.
Seeing this, the Ancestor couldn't help but laugh heartily, though Tang Changsheng remained unaware.
As time passed, Tang Changsheng's marrow cleansing process gradually completed. He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them, and his entire demeanor underwent a profound transformation.
Tang Changsheng discovered that he had actually reached the third level of Qi Refinement, his meridians were more resilient, and his body emanated a circulating golden light.
He was covered in grime and reeked, making Tang Changsheng almost vomit. The Overbearing Divine Monarch, seeing this, burst into laughter. With a gentle wave of his divine soul, he made Tang Changsheng feel a refreshing sensation, making his whole body comfortable.
The Overbearing Divine Monarch's soul took a deep breath, then pulled out a spirit testing array. After half a minute, five colors—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—appeared on the array plate, and each spirit root reached an astonishing ten inches, the limit for a Heavenly Spirit Root.
In other words: his descendant possessed the five great Heavenly Spirit Roots! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
He clicked his tongue in wonder, noting that as the full medicinal effect of the Marrow Cleansing Immortal Fruit took hold, the spirit roots would slowly evolve, reaching the Immortal Spirit Root level.
As long as he didn't squander it and remained cautious, he would eventually become the strongest in the world.
The Overbearing Divine Monarch recalled that he himself had once possessed a single fire Heavenly Spirit Root and a top-tier Divine Fire Spirit Body. After countless hardships and thirteen thousand seven hundred years of effort, he had only cultivated to the peak of Golden Immortal.
Yet, his descendant would easily achieve this, and moreover, reach a height unattainable by ordinary people, becoming the next Five Elements Immortal Emperor.
After resting for a day, Tang Changsheng prepared to consume the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill to awaken his Five Elements Spirit Body.
He sat cross-legged on a cushion carved from spirit jade. Before him lay a pill, radiating a five-colored glow—the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill—which the Overbearing Divine Monarch had taken from his storage ring.
Tiny spiritual energy vortices swirled around the pill, as if the five elements of heaven and earth were drawn to it.
Tang Changsheng took a deep breath, calmed his excited heart, then slowly extended his hand and gently placed the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entry, transforming into pure five-element spiritual energy that rapidly spread throughout Tang Changsheng's body.
Immediately, Tang Changsheng felt an unprecedented power surging within him. Spiritual energy of the five attributes—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—intertwined and rotated within his meridians, forming tiny five-element cycles.
Under the baptism of this power, Tang Changsheng's own five zang organs began to emit a faint glow. The five zang correspond to the five elements, while the six fu organs assist in regulation and harmony.
As the power of the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill continuously permeated Tang Changsheng's skin, it began to emit a colorful luster. Each breath was accompanied by the inhalation and exhalation of five-element spiritual energy.
Tang Changsheng's divine consciousness also awakened under the nourishment of this power. He could perceive more subtle changes in the spiritual energy of his surroundings.
The spiritual energy within the cave mansion began to converge frantically towards Tang Changsheng, forming a massive spiritual energy vortex. Tang Changsheng, like the center of the vortex, continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.
The power of the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill merged with the spiritual energy in the cave mansion, causing Tang Changsheng's Five Elements Spirit Body to awaken and undergo unprecedented strengthening.
After some time, Tang Changsheng felt that his Five Elements Spirit Body had awakened. The power of the five elements circulated freely within him, forming a perfect balance.
His cultivation had also improved significantly, reaching the sixth level of Qi Refinement. His magical power was incomparably robust, and his foundation was more than a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. His future achievements were immeasurable.
Tang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, which gleamed with the light of the five elements. His entire body exuded a powerful aura.
His Five Elements Spirit Body had successfully awakened, and with the help of the Five Elements Heaven-Seizing Pill, he had even touched upon the legendary Five Elements Immortal Body.
