Chapter 259: Chapter 177: Jiang Yuan’s Gains, The Transformation of the Five Elements Rule!
In the cave.

The two continued to feast.

Jiang Yuan found that with his advancement in cultivation realm, the effectiveness of the Gluttonous Belly was slightly stronger than before.

The meat and blood that entered his body were rapidly broken down and digested, increasing the efficiency by two to three times from before.

A part of the digested meat and blood essence transformed into threads of dharma-power merging into his inner mini world.

Part of it turned into qi and blood power, fusing with his qi and blood. The golden particles under such conditions move much faster, constantly splitting into more golden particles.

In a moment, countless golden light spots shimmered in his blood.

His physical body, under this nourishment of meat and blood essence, became all the more powerful.

But compared to Shu Xiaoxiao, his speed was a lot slower.

The jaw meat that entered Shu Xiaoxiao’s stomach disappeared without a trace, instantly refined by her, making her belly remain flat as before.

In less than two hours, the pair had devoured close to ninety percent of this gigantic jaw, which was two yards long.

Suddenly,

Shu Xiaoxiao stopped the movement of her hands abruptly.

“Young Master, I’m about to breakthrough!”

Jiang Yuan had expected this.

Before this, Shu Xiaoxiao had been devouring the Earth Fire’s power for several days, and the fulled extent of her Spiritual Sea had accumulated to over thirty percent.

Now she had eaten more than half of the gigantic jaw’s flesh.

The gigantic jaw was nearly comparable to an entity of the Divine Bridge Realm.

During her rapid refining process, the essence from this meat and blood had mostly transformed her internal Spiritual Sea.

Under these circumstances, it was expected that her Spiritual Sea would be completely full.

So, Jiang Yuan said indifferently, “Go ahead with your breakthrough! I’m here, so there’s nothing to worry about!”

As his words fell, the sound of a raging Spiritual Sea echoed above his head.

Jiang Yuan then gathered the power of heaven and earth to hide this phenomenon.

After a while,

Shu Xiaoxiao’s aura began to slowly recede.

[Name]:Shu Xiaoxiao

[Realm]:Spiritual Sea Realm Eighth Level

[Inborn Luck Power]:Reincarnation of Sword Immortal (Gold) Peerless Immortal Beauty (Gold) Devouring Heaven and Earth (Gold) Fortune Out of Misfortune (Purple) Deep Blessings (Blue) Pure Heart (Blue) Outstanding Talent (Blue) Exceptional Understanding (Green) Body of Wood (Green)

Jiang Yuan looked at her status panel, with a smile curving at his lips.

“Not bad, you’ve reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. After one more breakthrough, you can start preparing to breakthrough to the Divine Bridge Realm! With this speed, you’re even faster than me!”

Shu Xiaoxiao sweetly said, “This is all thanks to you, Young Master. Without you, how could I have obtained so many resources!”

In response to Shu Xiaoxiao’s praise, Jiang Yuan laughed and continued, “Let’s finish these up! After we’re done eating, we should get going!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

After a while, the two had devoured the giant jaw that was two yards long.

Jiang Yuan rubbed his belly, extremely satisfied.

If he managed to fully refine this jaw meat, he wouldn’t be far off from the third level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

Because of the dharma-power accumulation brought by the Earth Fire Lotus, even after successfully breaking through to the second level of the Divine Bridge Realm, the remaining accumulation was about fifty percent towards the third level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

In this situation, after he would refine the giant jaw’s flesh and blood,

He would definitely not be far from the third level of Divine Bridge Realm.

As for the power of law, his understanding of the Five Elements law was enough for him to advance worry-free until the seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan said to Shu Xiaoxiao, “I’ll take you further in. We’ve been in the Pearl Cave for nearly a month now. If you can’t withstand the suppression of the internal cave forces, you must tell me!”

“Yes, Young Master!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.

Jiang Yuan stirred his thoughts.

He then took Shu Xiaoxiao and disappeared into the soil. Subsequently, his divine sense began to spread far and wide.

All of a sudden.

He was taken aback, “Why is Zhou Ying being chased by a spiritual puppet?”

Jiang Yuan was incredibly surprised. A spiritual puppet was an entity created by tool refiners, and their strength varied.

However, even the weakest spiritual puppet possessed the strength of a beginner in the Spiritual Sea Realm.

The puppet currently chasing Zhou Ying looked incredibly powerful, even commanding dharma-power.

This puppet’s arbitrary attack could break mountains and split the earth. Its power was enormous. Even a heaven genius at the ninth level of Spiritual Sea Realm could not match it.

Zhou Ying in its presence, seemed unable to fight back at all and could only run away quickly.

Jiang Yuan was alarmed when he noticed this.

He decided to go and take a look and by the way, absorb the Luck Power that had been accumulating on her for days.

Thinking about this, he took Shu Xiaoxiao and headed swiftly towards where Zhou Ying was.

Meanwhile,

Zhou Ying was escaping at a fast pace, heading towards the location of the Earth Fire.

In her heart, only by borrowing the explosive power of the Earth Fire could she possibly escape from the spiritual puppet chasing her, or even destroy it.

Other than that, there was no other way.

After a brief exchange, she knew even though she had now broken through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.

She was still no match for this puppet.

Because this puppet already possessed dharma-power, apart from not mastering the authority of the Divine Bridge Realm, it was almost equivalent to a normal Divine Bridge Realm.

With such might, it was virtually invincible in the Spiritual Sea Realm.

The most crucial aspect was that the material of this puppet was extraordinary and extremely hard, almost without weakness.

The puppet had stoutly endured her full-power strike just now without even a scratch, while she had been hit in the stomach by the puppet.

If it were not for her unique physique, she would have already lost the power to resist.

After that brief exchange, she understood that she was not the puppet’s opponent unless she borrowed an external force.

The gushing Earth Fire was the external force she wanted to borrow.

In the end, the spiritual puppet is still a puppet, with low intelligence. As long as the timing is right and the eruption of earth fire falls on the spiritual puppet, it is definitely possible to escape from the deadly attack of this spiritual puppet.

At this time, Jiang Yuan had already arrived below Zhou Ying.

His voice rang faintly in Zhou Ying’s ears: “Need help?”

Upon hearing the sudden sound at her ear.

Zhou Ying’s face lit up in joy and she quickly cried out: “I would appreciate your help, Daoist Brother!”

“As you wish!” Jiang Yuan said indifferently.

The next moment, his figure suddenly appeared behind the spiritual puppet.

The spiritual puppet, filled with silver lines, twisted its body suddenly, and a giant ax swept behind it.

But the next moment.

The puppet’s movement suddenly froze because Jiang Yuan’s palm had already plunged into its chest, destroying the formation at the very core of the spiritual puppet.

At the same time, its power source also fell into Jiang Yuan’s hands.

Ten superior spiritual stones stacked together.

Approximately thirty percent of the energy they contain had been used up.

When Zhou Ying saw Jiang Yuan’s face, she exclaimed in surprise, “It’s you!”

She suddenly remembered the Earth Fire Lotus that she had found ten days ago with the help of her treasure-seeking rat.

After all her hard work and braving dangers, she was able to pick only two Earth Fire Lotuses. The rest were all snatched away by Jiang Yuan.

She couldn’t help but grind her teeth, then revealed a sweet smile: “Thanks to Daoist Brother for saving my life! There’s no way I can repay you…”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Jiang Yuan raised his hand and said.

Then he casually absorbed the Luck Power that had been accumulating on her these days, then said, “I saved you. It’s only reasonable that you owe me something, right?”

“Reasonable!” Zhou Ying agreed, nodding calmly.

Seeing how Jiang Yuan easily destroyed the spiritual puppet, she knew that he was extraordinary, and at the very least, no less powerful than her cousin, Zhou Ting. He may even be more powerful than Zhou Qiu.

So she understood that in such a situation, especially within Pearl Cave, she, as a weak woman, needed to appear harmless and must not offend him.

Jiang Yuan gave a smile, and the Five Elements’ power gathered in a wave of his hand.

By this time, compared to before, his control over the rules of the Five Elements had greatly improved.

Moreover, by mastering the rules of the Five Elements, an enhancement in the understanding of any one of the forces leads to a deeper understanding of the other four.

The core secret here is the great fusion of the five kinds of rules, merging into the rules of the Five Elements.

Once the powers of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are successfully merged into the rules of the Five Elements.

Their essence undergoes a transformation. The rules of Five Elements, even among the three thousand rules, are considered superior.

While gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are only the lowest ranking rules.

That’s the fundamental difference.

Once you successfully merge the rules of the Five Elements, you possess this characteristic. Whenever the understanding of any rule of the Five Elements deepens, the understanding of the other four rules also gradually deepens, ultimately maintaining a balanced state.

This is one of the secrets of the rules of Five Elements.

Previously, he devoured and refined the Earth Fire Lotus, greatly enhancing his comprehension of the rule of Fire.

Likewise, the fragments of the rule of Fire contained within the giant jaw further catalyzed his comprehension of the rule of Fire to a very profound level, a hair’s breadth away from comprehending the power of law.

Under these conditions, the comprehension of the other four rules also dramatically improved.

At this point, they are almost equal.

As he unleashed the Five-color Divine Ring.

Once the power of the Five Elements starts to circulate, it is ceaseless, even if a long time goes by, this Five-color Divine Ring will not dissipate.

Because this technique, now in Jiang Yuan’s hands, has reached a level of divinity and is infused with spirituality.

With a flick of his hand, the Five-color Divine Ring immediately landed on Zhou Ying’s wrist and firmly secured itself around her slender wrist.

Zhou Ying felt the tremendous force contained in the Five-color Divine Ring on her right wrist and was immediately frightened.

“Young Master, what is the meaning of this? I am Zhou Ying, the daughter of the King of Divine Power. If I have in any way offended you, please enlighten me!”

She was on the verge of tears and she said ceremoniously.

Impressive!

Jiang Yuan exclaimed in his heart.

No wonder Zhou Ying could achieve what she did in the future, becoming the Empress of the Qian Yuan Imperial Family.

She truly is not ordinary, completely different from her innocent and carefree exterior.

Jiang Yuan replied indifferently: “That’s my price!”

“Huh?” She looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.

Jiang Yuan said indifferently, “In one or two months, I will activate the Five-color Divine Ring on your wrist. It will bring you to me. Once we get out of the Pearl Cave, I will set you free.”

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Zhou Ying was full of doubts.

But looking at Jiang Yuan’s expression, she didn’t dare voice her confusion.

Jiang Yuan laughed again and said lightly, “Don’t try to break it on your own! The Five Elements both promote and restrict each other. If you disrupt the balance, the power of the Five Elements will conflict, and your frail body won’t be able to withstand this impact.”

“Of course, after I leave, you can also cut off your right arm to free yourself from my control!”

“But if you do this, you will end up as a cripple, so you better think carefully!”

When Zhou Ying heard the word ‘cripple’, she trembled slightly, a chill ran down her spine.

Becoming a cripple is something she could never accept!

But being controlled by Jiang Yuan, she wasn’t willing either.

She just didn’t understand, what exactly was this man’s intention?

After mulling over it for a while and digesting Jiang Yuan’s words, Zhou Ying slowly said, “Can you tell me why? Young Master, you are my savior. Even without your intervention, I would fully cooperate with you!”

“If Young Master were to tell me the reason, I could cooperate with you better!”

Zhou Ying said clearly, neither hurriedly nor leisurely, her voice soft and understanding, ten out of ten for empathy.

Jiang Yuan just laughed and said, “You don’t need to know, just cooperate obediently in the Pearl Cave.”

Then Jiang Yuan glanced at the broken spiritual puppet next to him and said, “Do you want to know who wants to kill you?”

“Yes!” Zhou Ying nodded heavily.

“Go and check the bloodline of your two brothers!”
