Chapter 1157

Su Mengyao had been worshipped as an immortal for ten years. During these ten years, she was the one who instructed the old ox, so she had protected the village for ten years.

In these ten years, the lives of the villagers changed drastically. The villagers became wealthier and the young men married many women from other villages. The population of the village increased tremendously.

As the population increased, their harvest did not decrease. In addition, there were also some villagers who would find some high quality spiritual herbs. These herbs could be sold at the market for a considerable amount of money.

The main reason for the spiritual herbs in the mountains was the old ox. Because the old ox had reached the Earthly Origin Boundary, even if he hid his aura, the heaven and earth would sense it. As a result, the heaven and earth spirit energy in the area he was in would become very dense.

After ten years, when the villagers were thinking about whether they should join forces to make a big sacrifice for the immortals, one day, the villagers passed by the valley again. However, they found that the wooden house was gone. The two immortals were also gone. At the same time, the old ox that everyone wanted to catch disappeared as well.

After that, the immortals never appeared again. They only left behind the legend of the Immortal Valley.

Zi Chen and Su Mengyao lived in the valley for ten years. During these ten years, the two mainly traveled and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of nature. During these ten years, the two did not deliberately mention their identities and realms. They did not mention anything about the rules. They only used their hearts to feel everything.

Ten years later, another ten years passed. The two climbed cliffs, climbed peaks, crossed rivers, saw countless flowers and plants, caught fish in the river, caught prawns, and made small wooden rafts.

During these twenty years, Su Mengyao's face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.

The two stood on top of the mountain and watched the light of the setting sun pierce through the white clouds, illuminating the heaven and earth in red. Su Mengyao happily snuggled in Zi Chen's arms and watched the scenery in front of them. Zi Chen stood there and stared blankly ahead.

The two quietly watched the sun set and watched the last ray of light disappear.

"So beautiful." Su Mengyao put her hands around her mouth and shouted into the distance. Her voice echoed in the mountain forest.

"It is very beautiful."

Zi Chen nodded and looked into the distance. At this moment, his heart was very quiet, or even peaceful.

After walking in nature for 675 years, he felt as though he had become a part of nature. For over a hundred years, he had not fought with anyone, nor had he used his essence force.

He was admiring the beautiful scenery and enjoying life. He was comprehending the various natural sceneries and the beauty of nature that had existed for over a hundred years.

Zi Chen's state of mind also changed at that moment. A world full of nature appeared before him.

He saw nature. There was a flash of light in his sea of consciousness. He saw things outside of nature.

He raised his head and looked at the sky.

Night fell. Xing Chen was in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly. However, these lights of Xing Chen were unknowingly shrouded by dark clouds. In the blink of an eye, the world became pitch-black.

"Is it going to rain?"

Su Mengyao raised her head. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. There was an inexplicable pressure in the dark clouds. She turned her head and looked at Zi Chen in shock.

"Precepts are everywhere," Zi Chen spoke again, his voice sounding distant as if it came from ancient times.

His eyes were deep and bright. His body started to glow.

In the sky, the power of precepts appeared out of nowhere. These powers of precepts appeared from all directions and gathered towards Zi Chen. A gentle push pushed Su Mengyao into the distance.

"Precepts, you felt the precepts of nature." Su Mengyao was surprised and delighted.

Zi Chen once again gazed into the distance, at the place where the sun had disappeared. However, this time, although his eyes were bright, there was no spirit in them. He was recalling the bits and pieces he had seen in the past hundred years.

He was thinking about the water. It was cold and smooth. A small rock could make it change its original intention and part its path. However, sometimes, even a mountain would be destroyed in front of it.

There was water in nature, dew, river water, ice water, and seawater. There was power in the water, the power of water. There were precepts in the power, the precepts of water.

Thinking about the ponds and rivers, the precepts that gathered towards Zi Chen suddenly changed. There were ripples like water patterns. These were the precepts of water.

Thinking about the huge lakes, the turbulent rivers, the torrential waterfalls, and the violent waves, more precepts appeared around Zi Chen. From afar, the precepts of water were like layers of thin gauze that covered Zi Chen's entire body.

The moment the precepts of water appeared, an oppressive aura suddenly appeared in the sky. This aura was so oppressive that it made it difficult for people to breathe.

Su Mengyao looked up at the sky and her expression changed instantly. This was because the power of the tribulation clouds at this moment was not much different from the tribulation clouds that Elder Gui had attracted.

However, this was not the end. After the power of water, another word appeared in Zi Chen's mind. It was wood.

Wood could be a weak sapling that swayed in the wind without any determination or goal. It could also be a towering tree that covered the sky and was abnormally firm.

There were trees in heaven and earth. There were precepts in wood, known as the power of wood.

Wood was a towering ancient tree. Wood was a small tree. Wood was a type of force.

Among the Five Elements Aristocratic Families, the Mu Family cultivated the power of wood. Zi Chen had fought with the Mu Family many times. Naturally, he had sensed the power of wood.

At this moment, the power of wood gradually turned into precepts in Zi Chen's eyes. The precepts of wood.

Beside Zi Chen, in addition to the precepts of water, there was also a new type of precepts of wood. As soon as it appeared, it intertwined with the precepts of water. With water in the precepts of wood, the power of the precepts of wood became even stronger.

Above his head, the power of the tribulation clouds increased by a few times. The sky and earth became pitch-black.

Looking at the black clouds above her head, Su Mengyao's face turned pale. She could not stand steadily. This tribulation cloud was really too terrifying.

With this mountain peak as the center, the beasts within a radius of dozens of miles felt the terrifying aura. They sensed danger and quickly fled.

Far away on the mountain peak, a ray of light flashed. It was the old bull that was pulling the carriage. At this moment, he was looking at Zi Chen on another mountain peak. His eyes were filled with shock and horror.

"How … how is this possible? He actually has two types of precepts." The old bull lost his composure and cried out. He felt that his understanding of the world had been overturned at this moment.

After sensing the precepts of water, the precepts of wood appeared in Zi Chen's mind. All of this was not done intentionally by Zi Chen. It was a realization that he had gained after years of calmly looking at the mountains and scenery. Today, when they appeared together, they became precepts of wood.

His mind was only thinking about what he had seen over the years. He did not notice the changes that happened after the water and wood merged.

Just as the two types of precepts changed, a word involuntarily jumped out in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness. This word jumped out abruptly, as if it was born naturally.

This word was fire. It was the power of fire. It was the precepts of fire.

First, it was water. Then, it was wood. Among the five elements, water was wood. This was not a coincidence. It was Zi Chen's experience over the years. As long as there was water, the wood would live well. The trees would be lush and the flowers would be beautiful.

Water gave birth to wood. Wood gave birth to fire. Although the precepts of fire appeared suddenly, there were still traces that could be followed.

It was two demonic beasts that were fighting to the death in the forest. One of the demonic beasts was spitting fire from its mouth. It was a single-horned fire bull. Its opponent was very strong. It had an ice aura that could suppress fire. The fire could not hurt it at all. It was a mutated blue bird.

However, the fire bull showed weakness at the crucial moment. It ignited the forest below. All the trees in the forest were ignited by the flames. The forest became a sea of fire. The power of fire became even stronger.

With the help of the fierce power of fire, the fire bull destroyed the blue bird.

That day, Zi Chen admired the fire bull's intelligence. However, today, wood gave birth to fire. It was the precepts of fire.

The precepts of fire between heaven and earth began to gather towards Zi Chen. After merging with his body, they would be compatible with the power of wood. Then, the power of fire would become stronger.

With three precepts of fire, Su Mengyao could no longer see Zi Chen's real body. She could only see a blurry figure.

In the sky, the tribulation clouds pressed down another three meters. The pressure of the tribulation clouds spread out for dozens of miles.

A dangerous aura shook the surroundings. The strong cultivators nearby all felt the pressure. Their faces changed drastically.

They looked up and saw the tribulation clouds. At the same time, they felt the power of multiple precepts of fire.

"Someone is breaking through to the Earth Prime level."

"Attracting precepts of fire, this is the sign of breaking through to the Earth Prime level. But why is the tribulation clouds so scary?"

There were demonic beasts in the forest. In addition to demonic beasts, there were also strong cultivators in seclusion. They all felt the abnormality of the tribulation clouds. They turned into light and flew towards the tribulation clouds.

They stopped at what they thought was a safe distance and looked down at the tribulation clouds.

There was a mountain peak. There was a person standing on the peak. However, no one could see the person's face clearly. They could only see the precepts of fire surrounding him.

"Three precepts, he actually has three precepts of fire."

"Who is this person? He can actually comprehend three precepts of fire at once."

"Scary, it's really scary."

"With three precepts of fire, once he breaks through, his combat strength will increase infinitely. I'm afraid no one in the same level can do anything to him."

In the distance, many people and demonic beasts appeared. Among them, there were also existences that had crossed over to the Earth Prime level. They looked at Zi Chen, who had three precepts of fire, and their faces turned serious.

But only three precepts of fire?

Wood was burned by fire. After being burned, it turned into earth.

Fire gave birth to earth.

In addition to the three precepts of fire, there was the precepts of earth.

With such a change in the precepts of fire, if Zi Chen still couldn't feel the principle of the five elements, he would really be an idiot.

Fire gave birth to earth. This was what he had seen for many years. At the same time, he had taken the shortcut of the five elements.

Earth was the origin of all things, giving birth to all things.

As soon as the precepts of fire appeared, there was a majestic and heavy feeling.
