“What the?!”
Even though Xu Yuan had long known of Feng Ling Zu Shi’s extraordinary abilities,
he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at this moment.
“Primordial Five Spirits? Gengjin Baihu?”
“Are you serious?!”
He was speechless for a while.
He naturally knew the original form of the ‘Tiger’ transformation.
In terms of the game,
the twelve Yuanchen Divine Generals who originally belonged to the Heavenly Court seemed to have been banished to the mortal realm because of their friendship with Sun Wukong.
And the ‘Tiger’ transformation, should be the ‘Yin Tiger’, one of the twelve Yuanchen.
This itself was already powerful enough.
After all, the twelve Yuanchen were once Heavenly Court gods, and they should be at the Xian Dao level.
Among the several transformations Xu Yuan knew about,
this ‘Tiger’ transformation was considered the most powerful.
But
Yin Tiger and the Primordial Five Spirits ‘Gengjin Baihu’ were completely different levels!
Xu Yuan’s knowledge was not shallow at this point.
He had lived with the Zhu sisters and Zi Zhu’er in the Pansi Cave these days.
And he had become friends with the Anri Xingguan and Hong Yi.
In casual conversations, he had learned a lot about the Three Realms.
So he had heard of the name ‘Primordial Five Spirits’.
The Primordial Five Spirits, as the name suggests,
were the Yi Mu Qinglong, Bing Huo Zhuque, Wu Tu Qilin, Ren Shui Xuanwu, and Gengjin Baihu.
It is said that these five were born from the spiritual essence of Heaven and Earth, extremely ancient and powerful divine beasts.
They were also renowned in the Three Realms in the past.
They resided in the five directions and were once enfeoffed as Divine Monarchs.
Eastern Qinglong, as ‘Mengzhang Shenjun’.
Southern Zhuque, as ‘Lingguang Shenjun’.
Northern Xuanwu, as ‘Zhenwu Shenjun’.
Western Baihu, as ‘Xianchi Shenjun’.
Central Qilin, as ‘Mao Du Shenjun’.
Each of their powers was said to be only under the likes of the ‘Xi Wangmu’ and other top ancient gods.
Of course, according to what Xu Yuan had heard,
these five Divine Monarchs seemed to have perished in a very ancient age.
As a result, the Three Realms of today had almost forgotten their names.
But now?
Xu Yuan’s evolved ‘Tiger’ transformation.
The transformation he had achieved was actually the ‘Gengjin Baihu’, one of the Primordial Five Spirits!
“Transform!”
So at this moment, Xu Yuan did not hesitate at all.
He simply shifted his form.
Next…
“Clang!”
The sound of gold and iron rang out, clanging together!
Along with the sound of metal.
Next, Xu Yuan’s form completely changed.
At this moment, his form had transformed.
Silver fur with gold and jade inlaid, vertical pupils that terrified the Three Realms.
Tiger strides alone through countless ravines and mountains, king of all beasts, I reign supreme.
I roar alone in the Western heavens, I reign supreme over the misty peaks.
Since ancient times, Gengjin has shown its splendor, the Baihu Shenjun resides in Xianchi.
That’s right.
At this moment, Xu Yuan had transformed into a divine tiger standing on its hind legs.
Especially in front of him.
At this moment, he could clearly see the characteristics of the current ‘Tiger’ transformation.
【Primordial Five Spirits·Gengjin Baihu】
【Transform into ‘Gengjin Baihu’, gain a small amount of ‘Heavenly Authority·Five Elements·Gengjin’】
【Gengjin Qi, nurtures the form of a tiger, the Five Spirits Baihu, governs the Western Heavens】
“Heavenly Authority·Five Elements·Gengjin…”
This was the first time Xu Yuan had encountered this concept.
But at this moment.
In the state of transforming into the Gengjin Baihu.
Xu Yuan could clearly understand the meaning of these words.
Because at this moment.
He could sense some things in Heaven and Earth.
He could sense its presence beneath the ground.
He could sense its presence in the air.
He could sense its presence in everything.
It was part of the ore, part of the mountains, part of life.
It was vast, great, supreme, ancient.
It was the foundation of the world, the origin of creation.
It was ‘Gengjin’.
One of the Five Elements, one of the laws that build this world.
An indispensable part of the world’s operation.
And at this moment, Xu Yuan felt.
He could grasp a very small part of this ‘rule’.
So…
“Buzz!”
Xu Yuan gently raised his hand.
He extended a finger and gently swiped it across the ground.
Next…
“Boom!”
From where his finger had swiped.
Countless spiritual essences were instantly forged into a giant sword, as large as a mountain, out of thin air!
It slashed directly down at the flower field below his feet.
So…
“Boom!”
The earth cracked neatly, endless Gengjin spiritual essence and surging power cleaved the earth into an abyss.
And looking at this scene.
Xu Yuan couldn’t help but be astonished.
Because…
“So powerful.”
“But such a powerful attack didn’t consume any magic power.”
Xu Yuan muttered softly.
“It’s just that I wanted this attack to occur, so Heaven and Earth naturally ‘happened’.”
“This is… Heavenly Authority?”
It was literally what it meant.
Those who possess Heavenly Authority, control the might of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, he, with the aid of the Heavenly Authority he held as the Gengjin Baihu.
Was a power that commanded Heaven and Earth, according to his will!
And just then.
Xu Yuan realized.
“I always thought my Heavenly Mandate Person transformation might not be a Da Luo.”
“It seems my thoughts were correct.”
He felt the Heavenly Authority within him, and the Gengjin spiritual essence that permeated Heaven and Earth.
In his heart, he had vaguely understood the method to break through to Da Luo Jin Xian.
“Only having powerful magic power is not enough…”
“What is needed to break through to Da Luo Jin Xian should be—this so-called Heavenly Authority!”
Xu Yuan thought to himself.
But then.
A thought arose involuntarily in his heart.
That was his other guess from before.
In this Black Myth world, spiritual essence might be the foundation of all cultivation.
Then…
“If there is an enormous, immeasurable amount of spiritual essence… could it directly bestow Heavenly Authority upon a cultivator?”
The answer was clearly yes.
Because his own current state was proof.
“The Gengjin Baihu, born with the spiritual essence of Heaven and Earth, naturally possesses ‘Heavenly Authority’!”
“The other Five Spirits should be the same!”
Everything seemed to confirm Xu Yuan’s previous guess.
Spiritual essence was the universal panacea of cultivation in this world.
All cultivation bottlenecks, everything… could be solved by spiritual essence!
As for why such strange world rules came about.
It was not something Xu Yuan could fathom at this moment.
“…”
And next, Xu Yuan released his transformation.
Without a doubt.
This ‘Tiger’ transformation had now become his strongest trump card besides the Heavenly Mandate Person transformation.
“This transformation doesn’t greatly strengthen my cultivation, but the power of ‘Heavenly Authority’ is too great… After transforming, I fear there’s no opponent below Da Luo who could match me!”
But what Xu Yuan didn’t expect.
This was not the end of it.
Because at this moment…
【Ding!】
The sound of Feng Ling Zu Shi still echoed.
【Congratulations, you have unlocked the ‘Spell’ function of the modifier】
