In these twenty years, including the two years Su Xing spent recuperating,
the actual time spent in comprehension was only about eighteen years.
During these eighteen years, the three brews of the Enlightenment Tea had been completely consumed…
Thus, he reached the one hundred and twentieth year in the simulation.
Somewhere in the chaotic streams of The Void, violent emptiness like sharp blades, could easily claim the life of an Immortal.
But at the center of the turbulence, Su Xing remained steadfast, seated in meditation facing the sky, his body suspended in The Void, surrounded by ever-increasing Dao Comprehension.
At this moment, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, showing a satisfied expression.
"Good! Eighteen years of contemplation, indeed, only when combined with the Great Wisdom State can the benefits be maximized!"
Excitement flickered in Su Xing's eyes.
Conservatively estimated, those eighteen years of arduous cultivation were equivalent to a thousand years of contemplation for a normal Immortal!
"Currently, my understanding of the Great Dao of Space is not weak… If I were to cultivate on my own, without relying on external objects, it would still take about three thousand years."
"But if I rely on Enlightenment Tea, three cups are indeed enough!"
After deliberating, Su Xing felt that this immersive simulation hardly made it possible to directly reach even a minor achievement.
"One more cup of Enlightenment Tea should be used to comprehend the Dao of the Five Elements!"
"However, for the comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements... there's no need to stay within The Void anymore, perhaps returning to Qingyun Sect is the safest option?"
Thus thought Su Xing.
From previous simulations, he knew that for at least two hundred years, no mishap had occurred on Qing Yunzi's end.
On the contrary, it was Su Xing who, because he "stood out too much," was exterminated by the Descending Sect.
This time, therefore, he chose to go to the Qingyun Sect for cultivation!
Even the Descending Sect, ambitious as they may be, would not dare to venture into it!
Following this, Su Xing spent over a year traveling on the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat, returning to the Qingyun Sect!
With deeper comprehension of the Dao of Space, Su Xing's control over the Flowing Cloud Golden Light Boat became faster and faster.
Coordinates that used to require two years of travel now took only about a year and a half.
In the one hundred and twenty-first year, after returning to Qingyun Sect, Su Xing began to contemplate the Five Elements Dao.
In a heavenly cave residence, Su Xing sat cross-legged, looking at several Dao Essence treasures laid out before him.
Innate Fusang Tree Branch, Black Water Banner, Yellow Sand Sculpture, Gold Essence Stone...
These items, each on their own could make external cultivators go crazy, but now Su Xing had obtained them all.
"The Dao of Five Elements… both generates and overcomes!"
"But if one wants to unleash its greatest power, a true understanding of the Five Elements Dao must allow the generation process to reach its peak!"
"Once comprehended, the power of the art and techniques, as well as Divine Skills, will all be tremendously enhanced!"
A slight anticipation appeared in Su Xing's eyes.
The Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique, being the most brutal among the Five Elements techniques, its power is related to the cultivator's mana robustness and Dao sensitivity!
Therefore, Su Xing had to continuously enhance his Dao Comprehension to maximize this Divine Skill's power!
"If I can truly master the Five Elements Dao… the power of this Divine Skill will undoubtedly experience explosive growth! It would even surpass the Body-Protecting Sword Aura!"
Su Xing took a deep breath and began his comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements.
At once, Su Xing willed it, and various Dao Essence treasures floated around him.
Su Xing continued to ponder their Dao Essence, seeking the method of mutual generation and harmonization.
Amid this process, the Five Elements generation law that Su Xing had previously cultivated played a tremendous role!
After drinking a sip of Enlightenment Tea, Su Xing formally began his contemplation...
Thus, three years passed!
One day, Su Xing, who had been sitting in meditation for three years, awoke from his contemplation, his formidable aura quickly receding.
"The Dao of the Five Elements... is it just ?"
A thought crossed Su Xing's mind, and a streak of fire appeared in the palm of his hand; this fire, unlike any mundane flame, seemed capable of incinerating all things.
Su Xing wasn't merely casting a fire-system technique; within this flame, there was also a hint of green!
Just a touch of the Great Dao of Wood could dramatically increase the power of fire Divine Skills!
The method of mutual generation between wood and fire was something Su Xing had learned when he first practiced the Five Elements Immortal Burst Technique.
But this time, in the comprehension of the Great Dao of the Five Elements, Su Xing's gains were not just this.
With a wave of his hand, gentle droplets of water fell, sprinkling on the surrounding trees.
In the next second, those trees began to grow wildly, transforming from saplings into towering trees in just a few breaths!
"The Great Dao of Water… nourishes wood silently!"
Su Xing nodded slightly, then successively attempted the Great Dao of Earth and the Great Dao of Metal!
Among them, the Dao of Metal was particularly mystical, not only making the physical body hard as metal but even capable of being applied to Magical Treasures, significantly enhancing their power.
"The Dao of the Five Elements... seems not to be simply as such?"
Su Xing fell into deep thought.
"The Dao of Water, differentiated into Yin Water and Yang Water... Yang governs life, Yin governs death?"
"Similarly, Yin Wood, Yang Wood... Yin Fire, Yang Fire, it seems there are places of mutual understanding?"
"The Dao of the Five Elements seems to be inseparable from the Yin and Yang Dao?"
In just these three years, Su Xing had already integrated and summarized the five Great Daos, just a step away from merging them into a single entity, achieving the true Great Dao of the Five Elements!
Such fearsome speed, apart from the enhancement from Enlightenment Tea, was even more importantly… due to the Five Elements Holy Body that Su Xing had obtained!
The Five Elements Holy Body granted Su Xing an astonishing talent for the Five Elements Dao, even far surpassing his previous Great Sword Dao!
"It seems... I'm not far from achieving the complete Great Dao of the Five Elements!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, drank a second sip of Enlightenment Tea, and continued his contemplation...
In the blink of an eye, another three years had passed.
