Chapter 108
At Wudang, atop Tianzhu Peak, Song Yuanqiao, Ji Xiaofu, and the others had just arrived outside the Sutra Pavilion when they saw beams of spiritual light shooting into the sky, divided into five colors: red, green, gold, blue, and yellow. Each was distinct, yet they seemed interconnected.
The five beams soared into the sky, even faintly connecting with the Seven Stars Gathering Spirit Formation that suppressed Tianzhu Peak, channeling star power into them.
“What is this?” Song Yuanqiao and the others were shocked. Then they witnessed a breathtaking scene. From the five-colored beams, divine beasts emerged: the Azure Dragon in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermilion Bird in the south, the Black Tortoise in the north, and the Qilin in the center.
“These are… the Five Divine Beasts!” The Wudang disciples were all stunned. They had seen the Five Divine Beasts before, especially Song Yuanqiao and Ji Xiaofu, who had witnessed the three spirits forming a sword formation that severed the Evil Emperor’s limbs on Emei Mountain. Those limbs were still wrapped in Ji Xiaofu’s bundle.
But the last two spirits were new to them. Mo Shenggu was the first to react, his eyes filled with joy.
“It seems our junior brother has successfully forged the remaining two spiritual swords. Now that the Five Elements Swords are complete, he must have comprehended the Five Elements Sword Qi. We’re in for a treat today!”
Yin Liting nodded repeatedly. “It seems we returned at just the right time!”
Ji Xiaofu was shocked and confused.
Song Yuanqiao explained with a smile: “Miss Ji, you may not know, but our junior brother once mentioned the Five Elements Sword Qi to us. The three spiritual swords he bestowed upon you were part of it. Now it seems the last two swords are complete!”
“Our junior brother has great ambitions. The Five Elements Spiritual Swords are the complete form. You can look forward to it!” He spoke with anticipation, focusing intently on the sky.
Ji Xiaofu’s mouth hung open, her eyes filled with disbelief. The Five Elements Spiritual Swords were the complete form? If three swords nearly severed the Evil Emperor, what unimaginable power would the Five Elements Swords possess?
Her reverence for Ning Changge deepened, seeing him as a god-like figure.
In the sky, the Five Divine Beasts began to evolve. The dragon roared, the phoenix cried, the tortoise bellowed, the tiger growled, and the qilin roared.
The commotion atop Tianzhu Peak was immense. The light beams beneath the Five Divine Beasts began to merge, forming a five-colored divine light, nurturing a strange sword qi within.
The sword qi carried an incredible sharpness, as if it could tear through space and time. The scene was so overwhelming that everyone forgot their surroundings. Disciples practicing swordsmanship froze, their swords suspended in mid-air. Disciples fetching water dropped their buckets, and those conversing fell silent.
Everyone was completely immersed in the awe-inspiring sight.
Inside the Sutra Pavilion, Ning Changge had long been drawn into a wondrous state of enlightenment by the merging of the Five Elements’ mystical aura. The profound truths of the Daoist scriptures he had read flooded his mind.
“The heavens have five elements: water, fire, metal, wood, and earth. They change with time, creating all things. Their spirits are called the Five Emperors…”
“The Five Elements generate and extinguish each other, with no beginning or end…”
“The numbers of the Five Elements vary, creating countless things that fill the heavens and earth, never ceasing…”
“Using five things to return to the Five Elements, and the Five Elements to create five insects, can be described in words…”
“…”
Ning Changge comprehended fully, as if the last speck of dust on a glass lamp had been wiped away, revealing its true form. “The Five Elements generate and restrain each other, originally one, then divided into different attributes. To re-fuse them requires a medium, such as my spiritual sense, spiritual power, and spiritual flesh, which are essence, energy, and spirit.”
“Alternatively, reversing yin and yang and integrating them is another new method.” “But that is a direction for future efforts. For now, integrating essence, energy, and spirit will achieve the Five Elements Divine Sword Qi!” Ning Changge couldn’t help but laugh, his laughter filled with joy, echoing from the Sutra Pavilion across Tianzhu Peak!

On Tianzhu Peak, the Wudang disciples heard Ning Changge’s joyful laughter, understanding its significance. They were infected by his joy and couldn’t help but smile, shouting in unison: “We congratulate Little Uncle on comprehending the divine sword qi!”
The unity of Wudang was evident, their essence, energy, and spirit seemingly united. This unplanned congratulation burst forth naturally. Ning Changge laughed even more heartily. With a movement, he appeared high in the sky. The comprehension of the Five Elements Divine Sword Qi had cleared his mind. He sat cross-legged in the void, beginning to teach the Wudang disciples.
“Today, I have gained some insights. I will teach you about the Five Elements and Yin-Yang.” Instantly, the disciples’ eyes lit up with fervor.
No matter what they were doing, they stopped and sat down, listening intently. Even Song Yuanqiao and the others were no exception. Ji Xiaofu followed suit, sitting cross-legged with the others.
Ning Changge’s voice, like the sound of the Dao, echoed in their ears.
The profound truths of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang were spoken plainly, yet they instantly enlightened the listeners, like a divine revelation, awakening them from a great dream.
The spiritual power of the Daoist technique quietly operated, countless visions unfolding in the disciples’ minds.
