Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 165 Choice

Five Elements Immortal Palace is located on a branch of the Immortal Dao ancestral脉 in Qingwei Heaven. Here, palace complexes stretch endlessly, like a celestial palace situated upon this majestic immortal mountain. These palace complexes are simple and natural, with Immortal Dao runes imprinted upon them. The entire vast and boundless palace complex is glowing, with Immortal Dao aura flowing.

In a mansion somewhere on this endlessly stretching main脉 of immortal mountains, Fang Ming held a five-colored jade token. He was now a core disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Palace.

After the deacon brought him here via teleportation and he displayed the Cave Heaven he had cultivated before an Elder of the Immortal Palace, he was granted the status of a core disciple.

The Elder promised that if he could maintain this momentum in the future, the Immortal Palace would prepare everything for him, allowing him to cultivate with peace of mind.

The core Immortal Palace is very spacious, and the number of core disciples is not large, nor are there many strict requirements.

In terms of cultivation, aside from being able to find the Immortal Palace's Transmission Elder at any time, other matters are completely autonomous, with no other requirements.

It was extremely free.

Playing with the five-colored jade token in his hand, he was quite satisfied with the Immortal Palace's arrangements.

It was clear that the Immortal Palace wanted true Heaven's Chosen, not mass-produced mediocrities, which was why they gave their disciples such high freedom, allowing them to develop freely.

It was just like Liu Shen towards Shi Hao.

The advantage of doing this is that thought is not restricted, and geniuses can freely develop their ideas, achieving extraordinary accomplishments and giving birth to true Heaven's Chosen, not just ordinary geniuses.

However, more people walked down the wrong path. Cultivation is not something that can be done just by having ideas.

It requires countless attempts to turn feasible ideas into reality.

With the Dao attainment of the 극도 pinnacle and the enlightenment of becoming an immortal from his Ci Shen, coupled with the resources of the Immortal Palace, Fang Ming's cultivation progressed rapidly.

In this life, at the age of seventeen, his cultivation reached the perfect level of the Venerable realm, and he was about to ignite his divine flame.

On this day, after he reported this news, the two Elders of the Immortal Palace who were not in seclusion simultaneously summoned him.

Three Elder looked like a middle-aged Daoist. His cultivation was very high; he was a very strong Supreme. He looked at Fang Ming, and a satisfied expression appeared on his serious face.

After observing for a while, he asked, "Do you have any thoughts on igniting the divine flame? Tell me, the Immortal Palace will do its best to support you."

Four Elder was a middle-aged Daoist nun. She said softly, "Xuan Ming, the importance of immortal qi is paramount. I believe you can understand."

As a major Immortal Dao force, the Immortal Palace does not lack special flames; there is more than one type of Immortal Dao flame.

"I plan to achieve godhood with the origin of Yin-Yang Five Elements, and attempt to cultivate two strands of immortal qi through this," Fang Ming said without hesitation. "Then I will pass through the heavenly tribulation and cultivate the third strand of immortal qi."

The two Supreme Elders of the Immortal Palace exchanged glances, and then Three Elder said, "If you achieve godhood with Yin-Yang Five Elements, this is indeed a verified path with high feasibility. Yin-Yang Five Elements can encompass all phenomena."

"It is said that our Immortal Palace's Palace Lord also achieved godhood with the Five Elements back then, but he also obtained a certain chaotic treasure from before the creation of the heavens and earth. Just by merging the Five Elements, he already cultivated two strands of immortal qi, and then after passing through the heavenly tribulation, he cultivated three strands of immortal qi," Three Elder continued.

"However, if you achieve godhood with the origin of Yin-Yang Five Elements, there won't be many paths available for you in the Heavenly God realm in the future," Four Elder's serious voice sounded. She said, "If you achieve godhood with the origin of Yin-Yang Five Elements, the Five Elements Dao seed and Yin-Yang Dao seed that our Immortal Palace possesses will no longer be perfectly compatible with you. Have you thought this through?"

If they were not perfectly compatible, they would certainly not waste the perfect Dao seeds. These were two Dao seeds that the Immortal Palace had cultivated for a long time and were hard-earned!

Hearing this, Fang Ming was shocked. The Immortal Ancient Era was so wealthy; the Immortal Palace actually possessed two perfect Dao seeds!

At this time, Three Elder's serious voice also sounded: "If you truly achieve godhood with the origin of Yin-Yang Five Elements, then the most suitable perfect Dao seeds should be the embryonic universe and the world tree sapling, followed by the Primordial Violet Qi seed. Of course, the legendary Chaos seed is also suitable for you."

The embryonic universe, world tree sapling, Primordial Violet Qi seed, and Chaos seed are all perfect Dao seeds that encompass the origin of Yin-Yang Five Elements, so they are naturally suitable for him.

"Our Immortal Palace does not have these perfect Dao seeds," Four Elder spread her hands and said, "If you achieve godhood with the Five Elements, we can ask the Palace Lord for instructions and have him bestow upon you a strand of origin from before the creation of the heavens and earth. Perhaps that will also allow you to cultivate two strands of immortal qi directly with the Five Elements, just like the Palace Lord."

"No," Fang Ming shook his head and said, "Thank you for the good intentions of both Elders. I have already made my decision, and I have considered the path ahead. The origin of Yin-Yang Five Elements is very crucial to me."

Yin-Yang Five Elements are the foundation of heaven and earth, the cornerstone of the world. He wants to perfect the current World Cave Heaven system, and Yin-Yang Five Elements are an indispensable part.

"You have considered the path ahead?" Three Elder's eyes narrowed, and he warned, "Don't be overly ambitious. Your current realm is still low, and what you can see is just the tip of the iceberg. The plans you make may not be feasible. Don't be in a hurry to plan the future!"

Looking at the two of them, he spoke calmly, "Elders, do you believe me when I say I am considering the cultivators of the future?"

Anyway, he had already decided to do something big, so he wasn't afraid of attracting attention.

Upon hearing this, even with their calm state of mind, a hint of anger couldn't help but arise, feeling that this junior's tone seemed a bit too arrogant. The two frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

"I plan to forge a new path. I feel that the current system is not good!" Fang Ming said lightly.

Three Elder's eyes narrowed slightly, and his robes moved without wind. He said, "Tell me your thoughts."

Fang Ming smiled and said, "The key to the current system lies in Dao seeds. Perfect Dao seeds are too rare, and the cultivation time is too long. However, even if one merges with a perfect Dao seed, they will still be interfered with by the great Dao of heaven and earth from other realms, won't they?"

"We all know this," Four Elder nodded. After confirming Fang Ming's initial intention, she was not angry; instead, she smiled and said, "So you had the idea of forging a completely new path, right?"

"Actually, many people have had the same idea as you, but creating a completely new system is incredibly difficult, beyond imagination," she smiled and asked gently, "If you were not considering future generations, but simply considering making yourself as strong as possible, how would you achieve godhood?"

To establish a cultivation system, one naturally needs to consider future generations. The difficulty cannot be too high; if it cannot be popularized, the new system will be meaningless.

It is not difficult to see from Fang Ming's words that the method of achieving godhood will have a great impact on the system he intends to create.

"If I were only trying my best to make myself stronger, I would choose to use the myriad Dao of the heavens and earth as flames, ignite myself, absorb the imprints of the myriad Dao, and thereby cultivate two strands of immortal qi," Fang Ming said calmly.

His method was the opposite of Shi Hao's. Shi Hao used the myriad Dao as fire to unlock the potential of his body, while he absorbed the imprints of the myriad Dao. The outward manifestation was the same, but the intention was completely different.

Hearing this, the two Elders of the Immortal Palace were shaken, and they saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Soon, Three Elder spoke, "This path has been deduced by great figures before. It is very dangerous, but also very powerful. The correct way should be to use the myriad Dao as fire to unlock the potential of the body, not to absorb the imprints of the myriad Dao."

"That's right," Four Elder said, "Our bodies themselves contain boundless potential and can be compared to the great universe. If we can develop their potential, becoming a supreme existence is not a problem!"

"Is this the path of taking the body as the seed?" Fang Ming looked at the two Elders and shook his head calmly, saying, "I also thought about this path before, but this is not my path. My path requires absorbing external objects and utilizing them as much as possible to grow rapidly!"

"You..." The hearts of the two Elders of the Immortal Palace were shaken, and a monstrous wave surged in their sea of consciousness, realizing that this was a true monster!

Although the path of taking the body as the seed had been proposed long ago, not many people knew about it, and it had not been mentioned in front of the public. Only a very small number of people knew.

Very few people knew about taking the body as the seed, mostly powerful Supremes. For a small cultivator like Fang Ming, there was absolutely no possibility of knowing.

After a while, the calmed Four Elder looked at Fang Ming and said, "Xuan Ming, are you confident?"

The interior of the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths appears peaceful, but the Border Wilderness is actually in a very bad state. The Other Realm army is pressing in, and it is unknown how much longer it can hold out.

Especially since the Other Realm has developed a divine ability that interferes with perfect Dao seeds, even Immortal Kings will be slightly interfered with, and True Immortals will also be affected. The war situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"I dare not say I am confident," Fang Ming shook his head and said, "I can only say that I believe I have seen a path, and it depends on whether I can walk it."

The two Elders exchanged glances, and then Three Elder said, "Wait here, we will immediately prepare the Yin-Yang Five Elements origin you need!"

Deep within the Immortal Palace, the two came before a hall and knocked on the tightly shut stone door.

Before long, a figure surrounded by five-colored immortal light walked out from the depths of the cave dwelling.

"Deputy Palace Lord..." After the two Elders bowed, they recounted what had just happened.

"Interesting, such a big tone," the person nodded. Under the shroud of immortal light, a handsome face revealed a smile, and he said softly, "I want to see if he has real ability!"

His eyes shifted, and everything before him turned into nothingness. Under the Immortal Dao 法眼, his gaze directly saw Fang Ming who was cultivating.

"There are no problems. Every realm has surpassed the extreme, and he is very powerful, no weaker than those famous Heaven's Chosen," the Deputy Palace Lord nodded.

"Can the Deputy Palace Lord see any other clues? It is said that he is a reincarnated being," Three Elder said.

The Deputy Palace Lord, shrouded in immortal light, shook his head and said, "Like those suspected reincarnated beings in the past, I can't see any clues. Just send the cultivation resources to him."

A large amount of Yin-Yang Five Elements origin, such as Chaos Soil and Primordial Water, was sent to Fang Ming's cultivation mansion.

He did not rush to immediately go into seclusion. Instead, in the seclusion chamber, he set up layers upon layers of great formations to guide his primordial spirit back before beginning his seclusion.

He knew that those who achieved godhood in an alternative way and cultivated immortal qi had a good chance of having their primordial spirits taken away by the Ancient Hall of Reception.

At that time, these great formations would detect the disappearance of the primordial spirit and transmit special scriptures to guide the lost primordial spirit back.

However, things went smoother than Fang Ming expected. Whether it was good luck or some other reason, he did not encounter any strangeness during the process of merging the Yin-Yang Five Elements origin. The so-called Ancient Hall of Reception seemed to not exist.

Within a year, Fang Ming very smoothly merged the Yin-Yang Five Elements origin and successfully cultivated two strands of immortal qi.

Thunder rumbled. Fang Ming bathed in the lightning tribulation. After passing through the heavenly tribulation, while achieving the True One realm, the third strand of immortal qi was born simultaneously.
