Chapter 367: Five Elements Gathered! Innate Completion!
Although this sense of ceremony was something Jiang Lin had created for himself, well, isn't life about being in the right mindset, living freely and at ease?
After the Golden Pill—no, the Earth-type Crystal Core—entered Jiang Lin's body, within his stomach, the three crystal-clear, beautifully formed, and mysteriously inscribed spiritual pearls of gold, green, and blue began to slowly rotate around a colorful lotus flower. Soon, another yellow orb fell into the world of colorful flames inside Jiang Lin's body. The Fire Lotus, resembling an elder sibling, opened its golden-veined lotus petals slightly. Invisible colorful flames spread out like energy tendrils, precisely grabbing the yellow orb and lifting it to its side, forming a square formation with the other three spirit beads.
The orbs, representing the four types of energy, began to revolve around the central Fire Lotus, gradually accelerating. Finally, they formed a colorful energy matrix centered on fire within Jiang Lin's stomach. As this energy matrix appeared, the invisible energy within his inner world began to swirl, and Jiang Lin's bloodline and Dou Qi automatically entered a cultivation state!
"Hmm?" The surrounding world's Dou Qi immediately began to gather toward Jiang Lin. Strands of different colored Dou Qi climbed up his body, forming a gorgeous temporary veil of gauze. Feeling the Dou Qi energy moving within his body, Jiang Lin's Dou Qi was automatically drawn into the furnace of training. The Dhuan Fire Decision also began to run on its own. Jiang Lin's expression shifted slightly, then he immediately sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation meditation.
"Indeed! When the Five Elements Dou Qi are completed, a transformation occurs in my body!" Jiang Lin thought to himself, then focused his mind, his powerful soul energy enveloping his entire body. The chubby little Lin sitting on his spiritual platform instantly sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by soul flames that resembled ocean waves. Countless illusory colorful lotus leaves sprouted around his spiritual platform, connecting one after another, slowly wrapping around the little chubby Lin meditating above the spiritual platform. From afar, a colorful lotus, shimmering with otherworldly flames, was seen rising above Jiang Lin's spiritual platform, awaiting its bloom!
Meanwhile, outside, after the Earth Qi joined the Gold, Fire, and Water Qi, Jiang Lin's blood began to flow like a supercharged water pump within his body. A faint red appeared first, followed by yellow after a complete cycle, then a trace of gold, followed by blue and green, and finally, the red again. At this point, Jiang Lin's bloodline began to undergo subtle changes. The faint golden blood began to glow with a faint colorful fluorescence.
Whether it was the soul or the body, when the Five Elements Dou Qi were completed, a qualitative change occurred!
"Soul... is undergoing a true spiritual transformation!"
"Body... is also undergoing a strange transformation! The power of the bloodline has changed again!" Jiang Lin continued to meditate and cultivate while inspecting his body through his spiritual perception, analyzing the strange changes occurring in himself.
Unfortunately, the knowledge Jiang Lin had currently could not help him fully understand the changes. If a Dou Zun expert were here, they would be able to understand just how astonishing the transformations Jiang Lin was undergoing were!
Because, based on the standard of Dou Zun, the path Jiang Lin was walking was the Nine Revolutions Path of Dou Zun!
For traditional Dou Qi cultivators, completing the "spiritual root" and returning to the innate state were things they only considered after reaching the peak of Nine Star Dou Zun!
The Nine Revolutions Path of Dou Zun was essentially an attempt to reverse the limits of other races' inherent abilities, compensating for the deficiencies humans had compared to other races. Only after going through this process could human Dou Qi cultivators be on par with Nine-Step Magical Beasts when they reached the Dou Sheng stage. As a Dou Sheng, a cultivator would maintain overwhelming battle power under any extreme conditions, their body, energy strength, and type all reaching an impeccable state!
In other words, the completion of the Five Elements, which Jiang Lin was so focused on, was merely the basic configuration for a Dou Sheng! The attribute-based Dou Techniques used by Dou Sheng cultivators were not simple attribute techniques—they were Sacred Elements!
For instance, the Fire Dou Techniques of a Dou Sheng could obliterate all Water-type Dou Techniques below the Dou Sheng level.
The vast difference in power between Dou Shengs and Nine Star Dou Zun experts was partly due to this: the energy levels were on completely different scales. A Dou Zun's techniques would be nullified by the protective Dou Qi of a Dou Sheng. Even a simple strike from a Dou Sheng, though seemingly only at the level of a Dou Zun's technique, would easily break through any defense a Dou Zun could put up!
And now, in the remote Gama Empire, where knowledge of Dou Zun was scarce, Jiang Lin quietly walked the Nine Revolutions Path that only the later stages of Dou Zun cultivators would embark upon.
"Hmm, the soul is truly transforming into the spiritual realm. This is not a misunderstanding, but a genuine transformation into the spiritual realm," Jiang Lin thought to himself as he stopped his meditation exactly one hour later. The Dhuan Fire Decision is a "100%" technique, and the time for a single session of cultivation is fixed. No matter how powerful Jiang Lin becomes, this cannot be changed for now. Perhaps the original Dhuan Fire Decision wasn't like this, but the version Jiang Lin practiced, modified by the Spirit Race ancestors, has this "safety valve" limitation.
In the refining room, Jiang Lin's colorful energy veil slowly dissipated. As he slowly opened his eyes, a dim divine light flashed for a moment, only to vanish as the colorful lotus in his pupils slowly dissipated.
"If I had a system panel right now, my soul and Dou Qi would both be at 1% red," Jiang Lin thought, noticing the divine light that nearly shot out from his eyes. He couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Jiang Lin realized that his weakest moment was right after practicing the Dhuan Fire Decision. At that point, both his soul value and Dou Qi value were at 1%.
Of course, if anyone tried to ambush Jiang Lin at this moment, thinking he rarely kills, they would be wrong.
Because Jiang Lin's health bar was still full at 100%, and he had five hidden Dou Qi slots, allowing any assassin to pick their favorite color.
Even without using the hidden Dou Qi slots, Jiang Lin's regular Dou Qi slot could refill in less than a minute when the Dou Qi Furnace state was activated in battle.
