The origin of the five elements is obtained

He traveled at a rapid pace.

About half an hour later, Xiao Ming arrived above the Profound Ice Pool.

Standing on his flying sword, Xiao Ming looked down and saw that the Profound Ice Pool was located on a small mountain peak.

Its area was not large, like a miniature small lake.

However, unlike ordinary lake water, the Profound Ice Pool emitted cold white mist, and a thin layer of ice chips covered the water's surface.

Although the Profound Ice Pool was somewhat peculiar, on the vast Xianwu Continent, it appeared rather ordinary.

As a result, there were few people around.

With a flicker of his figure, Xiao Ming descended from the sky.

Standing by the pond, Xiao Ming pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly tapped the cold pond water.

With a "sizzle"!

A thick sword qi shot out from his fingertip, striking the calm pond water fiercely.

"Boom!!!"

The sword qi exploded, causing the pond water to churn with surging waves and turbulent currents.

There was a Mystic Ice Serpent in the Profound Ice Pool, and Xiao Ming did this to lure the serpent out.

As expected.

A moment later, a serpent covered in milky white scales angrily emerged from the depths of the pond.

It was as thick as a millstone, its body over fifty meters long, and it exuded a bone-chilling cold.

At this moment, its narrow snake eyes were fixed on Xiao Ming, ready to strike at any moment.

Upon seeing the Mystic Ice Serpent, Xiao Ming was pleased.

The serpent's Cultivation Level was very low.

It was only at the Xiantian Realm mid-stage.

But thinking about it, it made sense; the Profound Ice Pool did not have any rich spiritual energy, so it naturally couldn't nurture powerful demonic beasts.

If the Mystic Ice Serpent were too powerful, then Wang Hao would not have been able to kill it and obtain the Five Elements Source from the bottom of the pond.

"Serpent, if you have intelligence, then get lost immediately," Xiao Ming said indifferently, looking at the Mystic Ice Serpent, which was ready to strike, "If you dare to block me, you will only face death!"

Hiss hiss~

Hiss hiss!

The Mystic Ice Serpent flicked its tongue, and suddenly, it opened its mouth and spat out a white ice arrow.

"Oh, then you're just asking for death."

Xiao Ming's tone was indifferent, then he once again pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly swiped at the Mystic Ice Serpent.

"Whoosh!"

Another thick sword qi shot out from his fingertip, its sharpness unparalleled.

It first easily shattered the incoming ice arrow, and then fiercely struck the serpent's body.

Directly blasting the serpent to pieces on the spot.

For a moment, shattered serpent remains floated on the surface of the pond water, and crimson serpent blood diffused from the corpse.

"Overestimating yourself! A mere Xiantian Realm dares to attack me!"

Xiao Ming scoffed.

Not to mention that the Mystic Ice Serpent was only at the Xiantian Realm mid-stage; even if it were at the Xiantian Great Perfection or even Yuangang Realm, a casual strike from Xiao Ming could easily kill it.

After killing the serpent.

Xiao Ming leaped down and plunged into the pond water.

The moment he entered the pond water, Xiao Ming activated the true essence within his body, forming a thick protective shield on his skin.

Protected by the true essence, Xiao Ming moved through the water as if on flat ground, completely unhindered.

Very quickly.

Xiao Ming arrived at the bottom of the pond.

His gaze swept around, only to see that the bottom of the pond was unremarkable, without even a single water plant, only piles of scattered rocks.

Suddenly.

A patch of scattered rocks caught Xiao Ming's attention.

Within that patch of rocks was a five-colored glow, composed of gold, green, blue, red, and earthy yellow, extremely mystical.

Xiao Ming's spirit was invigorated, and he quickly swam over.

Arriving next to the glow, Xiao Ming extended his arm and grabbed it!

The next moment.

The five types of innate origin power—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—instantly flowed into Xiao Ming's body through contact.

Xiao Ming couldn't help but shiver.

"Is this the Five Elements Source? What powerful energy!" Xiao Ming exclaimed in surprise, "I've only just made initial contact, not yet consumed and refined it, and I already feel such immense power."

"If I absorb the Five Elements Source, I will definitely be able to condense the Five Elements Saint Body!"

With joy, Xiao Ming, clutching the five-colored glow, headed straight for the surface.

After five or six breaths.

Xiao Ming emerged from the pond and reached the shore.

After once again confirming that there were no other disturbances around, Xiao Ming tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and directly placed the five-colored glow into his mouth, then swallowed it in one gulp!

The five-colored glow melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into the five innate elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, entering Xiao Ming's body.

Then, the power spread, filling Xiao Ming's limbs and bones.

Under the influence of this power, Xiao Ming's aura, physical body, and even his Dan Lake began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

His aura steadily climbed, beginning to advance towards the Yuangang Realm Great Perfection.

His physical body became even more formidable, and it also emitted five colors of spiritual light.

Under the illumination of the spiritual light, Xiao Ming also appeared mystical.

The Dan Lake in his abdomen underwent a sudden change; both the Dan Lake and the true essence liquid within it gradually evolved into five colors.

Xiao Ming was undergoing a complete transformation!

From the inside out, from every cell to every strand of hair, astonishing and indescribable changes were occurring!

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Xiao Ming could condense the Five Elements Saint Body!

...Just as Xiao Ming was condensing his Saint Body.

In a certain mountain forest more than ten miles from the Profound Ice Pool, a strong expert from the Lei Family Fortress was anxiously awaiting reinforcements.

He cautiously tracked Xiao Ming all the way, finally discovering that Xiao Ming had reached a small mountain peak, and then he stopped advancing.

Clearly, that mountain peak was Xiao Ming's destination.

This person dared not continue tracking for fear of being discovered by Xiao Ming, so he could only wait patiently in this mountain forest.

He had left many markers along the way to ensure that his family members could arrive smoothly.

After an unknown amount of time passed.

Streaks of powerful aura, like a fierce wind, shot from afar, arriving in the mountain forest in a flash.

As the aura surged, the figures of three old men were revealed.

"Where is my Lei Family Fortress scout?" the leading old man asked in a deep voice.

"I'm here!" The person who had been tracking Xiao Ming quickly ran over from nearby.

After glancing at the three old men, he quickly bowed respectfully and said,

"Disciple greets the family's Fourth Elder!"

"Greets the Fifth Elder!"

"And the Sixth Elder!"

These three old men were none other than members of the Lei Family Fortress's Elder Council.

Although their rankings were lower, their strength was quite formidable.

The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder were at the Danhu Realm early-stage.

The Fourth Elder was at the Danhu Realm mid-stage!

Seeing that the family had dispatched three Danhu Realm elders at once, the scout tracking Xiao Ming secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Because according to intelligence, Xiao Ming was only at the Yuangang Realm late-stage, and any Danhu Realm elder could easily kill him.

But now, a full three Danhu Realm elders had arrived, and among them, the Fourth Elder was even at the Danhu Realm mid-stage!

With such a formidable lineup, Xiao Ming was undoubtedly doomed!

"Why are you here? Where is the villain Xiao Ming?" the leading Fourth Elder asked.

"He's on that mountain peak in the distance," the scout pointed to Xiao Ming's location and quickly said, "I was worried that getting too close would alert Xiao Ming, so I waited for you here."

"Well done," the Fourth Elder nodded, then waved his hand and commanded in a low voice, "Everyone, head to the mountain peak immediately.

We must kill Xiao Ming!"

"Yes!"

The other two elders responded in unison, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Just then.

On the distant mountain peak, the elemental energy between heaven and earth suddenly began to boil.

Then, a sudden change occurred!

To the astonished gazes of the three Lei Family Fortress elders, a five-colored light pillar, as thick as a house, shot up from the mountain peak, directly piercing the sky!

The light pillar was dazzling, emitting blinding five-colored spiritual light!

The five-colored light pillar was like a pillar supporting the heavens, with one end connected to the mountain peak and the other connected to the endless sky.

Upon seeing this astonishing scene, the three elders of the Lei Family Fortress were both shocked and excited.

"This is... a rare treasure appearing?!"

"It must be a rare treasure, otherwise it wouldn't cause such a terrifying phenomenon!"

"But, the place where the five-colored light pillar appeared is Xiao Ming's location..." the scout said cautiously.

Hearing this, the Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes and sneered, "No wonder Xiao Ming came here; it turns out there's an opportunity here!"

"Everyone, follow me up, seize the rare treasure, and kill Xiao Ming!"
