Chapter 75: 75: Mastering Five Elements(3)

After infusing his Dantian with Fire Mana for almost eternity, Ash was finally able to clad his whole body with flames without being burned in the slightest and supposedly immune to any flame or Yang Qi-based Martial Skills.

His primary combative skill, was now upgraded to [Flame Feathers Sword Gather Array]. He was so happy that the Heavenly Beast Taming System could work in this pseudo-dimensional realm.

This fact made him wonder, ’is Huxian aware about my cheat code? Surely, she knows my true nature from the very beginning. I could feel that she saw me as her protege and would use me as a proxy to wage a war against heaven.’

’Though our goals are somewhat aligned, I can’t let her know my cheat code just yet. Not until I can tame her in the near future. Only the strong could dictate others, and I will surely surpass you.’

With that thought in my mind, Ash soared upward through the next layer of the Void. The Water Mana. As he had understood the first law, Water Mana was slightly different than the latter and was harder to perceive. It’s thicker and suffocating. Instead of fighting the water with fire, Ash opted to follow the ebb and flow of the motions.

He swam through the current, from one mana tunnel to another. Comprehending the law Water Mana was easy for him, however, assimilating the two opposing forces of energy was something else entirely.

Ash had to find the delicate balance between Water Mana and Fire Mana continuously. At long last, he found the balance where he could use Fire Mana to heat up the Water Mana until it evaporated, creating a jet steam which caused his Fire Mana to burn even hotter and wilder.

’Hmph! Even though my body has very little to no affinity with water elements, I could use Water Mana to increase the intensity of my Fire Mana!’

After getting out of the second layer, Ash entered the Wood and Earth Mana which was the culmination of the two previous forces of energy.

This layer felt so much denser and more complex as these two were the very foundation of life itself no matter the universe.

Unlike the other two elements, Ash opted to thread this crucial step very carefully as he learned how life was created and evolved since the beginning of times and how it eroded as the times passed and reborn anew.

Another eternity had passed, and now Ash had emerged from the jungle of mana that seemed like entwined his being. After assimilating Earth and Wood Mana, his body had evolved, two antler-like horns protruding the either side of his head backward. His feathers were now more vibrant than ever before with various colors yet still dominated by red feathers.

From comprehending the law of Earth and Wood Mana, He acquired [Peerless Regeneration] a passive ability which would restore his health by thirty five percent upon receiving a critical hit for once per month.

"Although the cooldown was very long, this Passive Skill would coming handy in the upcoming Martial Tournament."

At last, Ash had arrived at the final layer of the Void. Metal Mana. This element was the densest and hardest of all. The culmination of all things that ever existed in the universe. To master it, Ash had to harden himself lest he wanted to be crushed by crushed by gravity of this element.

He wasn’t fazed in the slightest. He reignite the flames on his body, forcing the Metal Mana to expand so he could soar higher. As he flying through the last layer, as comprehend how Metal Mana behave when being exposed to heat and cold.

"So this is how forging work in real life huh? Wonder, does Ye Yinghui also aware of this law when she harvesting minerals of different kinds?"

One million years later, Ash slowly emerged from the Void, and saw the light above him. He swam faster and faster, once he got out, Ash was surprised that he already returned to Huxian’s Mirror Lake Domain. Ash let out a deafening scream that could be heard throughout the realm if he was in the real world.

Huxian smiled proudly as she saw fully matured phoenix flying in circle above her. Although the time passage in this domain was only an illusion, Huxian was genuinely amazed by his resilient and remain adamant for one million years inside the Void.

However, due to the time dilation between two dimensions, in actuality, Ash had only spend around a day.

Afterward, he landed before the vixen goddess and bowed subsequently. "I shall offer my eternal gratitude for guiding me through the Void."

"It’s given, my dear disciple." Huxian carresed his lower jaw while still maintaining eye contact.

If Ash was in his humanoid form, his face would have tinged with redness. For some reason, Ash was all shy and timid around her. Is it because Huxian was the one who raised him since he was a fledgling Phoenix? Ash couldn’t even tell for sure

A while later, Shanguang emerged from the Forest of Illusion where she trained. Likewise, the passage in the Forest of Illusions was much faster compared to the River of Time of the Immortal Beast Ream.

Ash was so proud to see her grew larger and stronger. Although her personality was still that of a playful kitten, she was now standing proudly at 17 feet tall and 60 feet long in length. Two saber-like teeth protruded out from her upper jaw. Her sturdy claws were as long and sharp as swords.

"What did you do in the forest to evolve so quickly?!" Asked the Phoenix.

Shanguang giggled amusingly. "It’s a secret! Hehehe. I am now very confident to pluck the feathers of your tails!"

"Oh really?! Bring it on then! I will teach you to not mess with your elder!"

Before they could even chasing each other’s tail, a massive explosion resounded as the oval-shaped portal appeared out of the thin air.

Ye Yinghui soon emerged from the portal. All of her body was covered in dust, and there was a several burnt mark on her scales.

"Yinghui, what happened?" Ash inquired.
