Chapter 580: Chapter 579: Breaking the Restriction!

What?!!!

Your cave mansion?

Could it be that this old man is Five Spirits?!

Upon hearing this, both Gu Yuan and Ao Kui were stunned and jumped in fright, but then felt something was amiss.

It’s said that Five Spirits ascended to the Immortal Realm long ago; how could he still be in the mortal world?

Besides, although the old man before them was mysterious and somewhat strange, claiming to be the famous Five Spirits, both were skeptical.

As if seeing through their thoughts, the old man calmly said, "Indeed, I am Five Spirits, but Five Spirits is not exactly me."

The two were puzzled, unclear about what he meant.

Seeing this, Five Spirits explained, "Actually, I am just a divine thought left behind by the original body."

Divine thought?

Upon hearing this, the two suddenly understood the situation of the old man.

The old man before them was likely a puppet, but this puppet had a divine thought of Five Spirits attached to it, and supposedly controlled some aspects of the cave mansion relic, with considerable strength.

Thus, both paid respects, "So, it’s Senior Five Spirits, juniors Gu Yuan (Ao Kui), pay respects to Senior!"

"Alright, there’s no need for formalities."

Five Spirits said calmly, "I know well your intentions."

"One desires the Black Dragon Jade Seal, and the other seeks the legacy I left behind."

"However... techniques cannot be lightly passed on; treasures cannot be easily obtained. Naturally, I can’t just give them to you."

The old man’s tone was calm, but his words were direct.

However, neither were fools, and naturally heard another layer of meaning in the old man’s words.

There’s no free lunch in the world; Five Spirits was no charity, and would not give away his treasures and legacy for no reason.

Gu Yuan subtly glanced at Ao Kui beside him.

The other’s target was something called the Black Dragon Jade Seal, but who knew what it was or its function.

However, being so valued by Ao Kui, a dragon from his origin, and specially kept by Five Spirits, it was certainly a treasure.

Furthermore, given the name contains "dragon," it likely has some connection to the Dragon Race.

The man and dragon exchanged glances, Gu Yuan cupped his fists and said solemnly, "Please enlighten us, Senior, on how we can fulfill our wishes."

The old man, namely Five Spirits, pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, since you two are willing to accept my trial, then it’s up to your luck."

He then waved his hand, a surge of five-colored spiritual light appeared, enveloping the two.

Gu Yuan felt dazzled, and amidst the whirlwind, he appeared somewhere else.

This place was filled with white, blue, red, yellow, and other colors, like a room or a small space constructed by the Power of the Five Elements.

Other than that, there was nothing, not even doors or windows.

Gu Yuan was puzzled, then heard Five Spirits’ voice echoing within, "This is a space built by my five-element divine techniques. Open it and emerge, then I may consider passing on some of my legacy to you."

"Alright."

Gu Yuan agreed readily.

Though deciphering the restrictions and arrays of this space wasn’t easy, even more challenging than opening the two portals before, he had acquired some experience through those previous endeavors.

With this foundation, though difficult, breaking it wasn’t impossible.

Moreover, the process of unraveling the restriction arrays would greatly benefit Gu Yuan himself.

Gu Yuan then immersed himself, pondering the interplay, aberrations, and characteristics of the surrounding Power of the Five Elements.

One day...

Two days...

Three days...

One month... two months... three months...

Time trickled by, and as the day arrived, Gu Yuan suddenly exhaled, seemingly emerging from a certain state.

He carried a trace of fatigue on his face.

This was due to pondering the mysteries and principles of the five-element space all this time.

Even with a sturdy divine soul foundation and remarkable enlightenment, he wasn’t yet a Yin Spirit giant, still a step away from truly condensing the Yin Spirit.

Moreover, the intricacies of this five-element space were set by a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, extraordinary in their sophistication.

Hence, during contemplation, Gu Yuan expended substantial mental effort.

Yet, despite the weariness, Gu Yuan’s eyes gleamed brightly, as if he understood something.

Evidently, this time, Gu Yuan’s harvest wasn’t small.

Next, Gu Yuan quietly settled down, waved his hand.

Instantly, a surge of five-colored light circulated in his palm.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth...

Five attributes, five-colored light, mutually generating and transforming.

In Gu Yuan’s palm, they faintly formed a five-colored ring. The ring seemed tangible, with five-colored light flowing, changing, seemingly composed purely of countless threads of five-element mana.

Yet each change of the five-colored light mirrored the five-element space’s transitions.

As Gu Yuan reached out with a finger,

Bang!!!

The ring suddenly exploded, turning into streaks of five-colored light, dispersing and merging into the surrounding light wall.

Next moment, as Gu Yuan’s thoughts moved,

Boom!!!

The five-colored light walls around him exploded instantly.

As all light dispersed, Gu Yuan found himself back in the Five Spirits Hall.

In front... was the figure of Five Spirits.

"Well done."

Five Spirits looked at Gu Yuan with a hint of surprise, seemingly aware of what he experienced before: "You’re quite young yet possess such enlightenment and cultivation, having not previously practiced the Power of the Five Elements to enter the Dao, truly remarkable."

"You flatter me, Senior."

Gu Yuan didn’t say much in response.

Though he was surprised by the other’s ability to discern some details, it wasn’t odd. After all, his counterpart was a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, or more precisely, a divine thought left behind by a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, capable of perceiving some of his foundations wasn’t strange.

"I rarely praise others lightly."

Five Spirits said with calmness, "You indeed have the qualification... I wonder what fortune you possess to cultivate such a foundation."

Shaking his head, he continued: "In any case, I keep my word. Since you seek my Five Elements Celestial Scripture, I’ll pass it on to you..."

As soon as he finished, Five Spirits pointed, a faint five-colored light flew out, landing on Gu Yuan’s forehead.
