Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 256: The Power of Azure Dragon and the Mysterious Four Symbols of Wood

"Could this be the power of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast?"

"Using thunder as a guide, we refine our vitality and allow all things to continuously sublimate between life and death."

Li Qingyuan stood quietly by, watching all this, and was deeply shocked.

Here, he seemed like an outsider, and the imagined cruel test did not happen.

Only the sight of the wood struck by lightning symbolizes the cycle of life and destruction.

Witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but guess:

"Could the test of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast be related to life and death?"

With such confusion, he walked to a tall tree.

As soon as you get close, you will be greeted by a surge of vitality.

This vitality made him seem to be immersed in it, nourishing his body, mind and soul, and making him feel extremely comfortable.

But right now.

"Boom!"

The sky suddenly changed, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down.

In an instant, the vitality of the big tree beside Li Qingyuan quickly dissipated.

The power of thunder and lightning raged against it madly, trying to destroy it completely!

........

This time, Li Qingyuan was so close that his feelings were naturally particularly clear.

He closed his eyes, held his breath, immersed himself in it, and felt it carefully.

He sensed that the power of thunder was so strong that it could almost completely annihilate the vitality of the tree.

However, at the roots of the tree, there is a tenacious vitality that stands unyieldingly.

Li Qingyuan suddenly opened his eyes, mobilized the power of time and space, condensed it in his eyes, and the eyes of time and space appeared.

Now, he saw it more clearly—

At the root of the big tree, there is a tender green sapling, which is unyieldingly resisting the power of thunder and lightning.

No matter how violent or terrifying the thunder and lightning are, this little sapling always remains vigorous and green.

"Wow!" Li Qingyuan was surprised.

It is unbelievable that a small sapling can be like this.

In a flash, the power of thunder and lightning gradually dissipated, and the tree seemed to be reborn, full of vitality.

"Destruction and rebirth are two sides of the same coin."

Li Qingyuan whispered to himself, "Only after experiencing destruction can we usher in new life."

........

Not long after, thunder and lightning struck again.

With the experience from last time, Li Qingyuan immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, and his mind gradually merged with the forest.

When the thunder fell, he felt the alternation of life and destruction.

"Rumble..."

Time passed slowly. I didn’t know how much time had passed or how many times lightning struck.

The sapling remains the same as before, full of vitality and tenacity, and it grows stronger and stronger.

Gradually, Li Qingyuan realized some mysteries from it.

The Azure Dragon represents the wood element in the Five Elements and symbolizes vigorous vitality.

The power of thunder and lightning in thunder represents ruthless destruction.

These two seemingly contradictory forces actually complement each other, and the same is true for life and death.

Life is the blossoming of hope;

Death is not the end, but the beginning of another new life!

........

In a moment, Li Qingyuan's breath became lifeless at one moment and lively at another, and the contradictions coexisted.

He regarded himself as that sapling and took the initiative to welcome the baptism of thunder and lightning.

The lightning struck, and his entire body was split into charcoal, full of death;

But after a while, when his vitality was restored, his aura became stronger than before.

The difference from Suzaku's rebirth from the ashes is that that was just a rebirth, but now it seems like a new life!

Every new life is a little stronger than the previous one...

Next, Li Qingyuan was completely immersed in this wonderful experience of pain and pleasure.

His state was like a split, sometimes shrouded in the shadow of death, and sometimes illuminated by the light of new life.

In this constant alternation process, his aura became more complex, yet also more powerful.

Suddenly!

His aura suddenly changed, and he broke through to the early first level of the Earthly Demon Realm in one fell swoop.

There are no shackles, everything happens naturally and smoothly.

At the same time, he also gained some insights into the power of wood.

However, the concept of life and death remains vague.

After all, such a profound artistic conception is really difficult to fully comprehend in a short period of time.

........

"call out!"

At this moment, a green light flashed across and appeared in front of him, turning into the shadow of a green dragon.

The Azure Dragon Shadow stared at Li Qingyuan with a deep gaze and slowly said:

"Yes, you have some of the style of the predecessors."

"Senior, I will definitely surpass you!"

Li Qingyuan raised his head, his eyes determined, "Just because they haven't finished it doesn't mean I can't do it!"

The Qiankun Palace is ownerless and has drifted to the lower realm, which means that its original owners have all fallen.

Even with such powerful support from the Qiankun Palace, these people could not escape the fate of falling.

One can imagine how terrifying the behemoth behind this is!

But now that he has obtained the Qiankun Palace, he is destined to shoulder the mission of changing all this, otherwise, he will only die!

This is both the arrangement of fate and the cycle of cause and effect!

........

"The road of cultivation is long and the great road has no end. You still have a long way to go!"

The Azure Dragon Shadow sighed, and then a ray of light sank into the center of Li Qingyuan's eyebrows, and then said,

"This is the power of my Azure Dragon. You can use it to comprehend the mysteries of wood."

Li Qingyuan immediately looked inward.

I saw the four powers of Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise flowing through his body;

At the same time, the four elemental forces of wood, fire, metal and water were derived.

Now, the five elements are only missing one earth to be complete.

At this time, the Azure Dragon Shadow said again:

"Now that you have obtained the four holy powers, I will teach you one method."

"This method is called 'Four Symbols'."

"Practicing this method, you can possess the power of the four symbols, condense the Dharma image, break the boundaries, and transcend the rules!"

After he finished speaking, a streak of light penetrated into the center of Li Qingyuan's eyebrows.

........

Li Qingyuan hurriedly checked it carefully.

It turns out that the "Four Symbols" method is actually the fusion method of the four sacred beasts.

To practice this method, one needs to use special substances of the four elements: gold, wood, water and fire.

Every time you master an elephant, you can draw on the power of a sacred beast...

It is like he uses the gold element as a guide to cultivate into the form of a white tiger.

At that time, he will be able to use the power of the white tiger in his body to condense the white tiger Dharma image to help him fight.

Once all four symbols are mastered, they need to be truly integrated and connected in order to achieve the true power of the four symbols.

This last step is also the most difficult, as it requires integrating one image into two images, then into three images, until finally achieving the perfect integration of four images!

At this time, the Azure Dragon Holy Beast and the other three Holy Beasts outside all sighed:

"The younger generation is to be feared; who knows whether those who come after them will be inferior to those who are here now?"
