Nangong Lingyun's timing for leaving seclusion was a little unfortunate; the training camp's last rest day had just ended.
He had to wait another six days before accompanying Gu Yue Na to the Flame Mountain.
It was located near the southern edge of the vast desert, close to the southernmost point of the entire Douluo Continent.
Describing it as a mountain was a misnomer. Upon arriving, they found it was actually a giant crater.
It was ten thousand feet deep, and the mountain walls showed clear fault lines in the rock, almost piercing through the entire crust.
From afar, a massive pillar of fire, as if trying to pierce the sky, erupted from the crater.
The bottom was purplish-black, gradually changing to black-red, purple-red, deep red, true red, orange, and finally, a golden hue.
A vast expanse of the sky nearby was illuminated by layers of firelight, a truly magnificent sight.
Around the Flame Mountain, a large number of fire attribute creatures lived, a major group of soul beasts that rivaled the ice and snow soul beasts of the extreme north: the Desert Soul Beasts.
However, due to the extremely harsh weather, human Soul Masters struggled to survive,
making it, like the extreme north, often overlooked by Soul Masters who weren't of the ice or fire attributes.
As soon as Nangong Lingyun appeared, a huge bird with brightly colored feathers flew out from the fire column.
Its belly was a deep black, its wings fiery red, its tail feathers blue, its neck orange, and its back purple. The transitions between these colors were gradual, appearing not jarring but rather exceptionally gorgeous.
Among the vibrant colors, the least present was gold, only appearing as a small tuft of golden feathers on its head.
No, to be precise, it should be called a "dork feather," because those few feathers stood straight up, appearing incredibly arrogant.
Its appearance had nothing to do with a crow, instead looking more like a rooster, with a long tail feather trailing behind it, almost longer than its body.
Hmm, if Flame Mountain is a pit, then the Sun Golden Crow being a multi-colored rooster makes perfect sense.
The Sun Golden Crow, carrying endless flames, slammed onto the ground with a loud boom.
Before it could even steady itself, a slightly shy voice reached his ears.
"Sun Golden Crow greets Master. May Master live forever and unite the world."
Nangong Lingyun was a bit stunned. Up until now, of his five spirit beasts, only the Blue Silver Emperor hadn't given him much trouble. The others, he had to fight to subdue, and the Dragon God Turtle nearly exhausted him.
This Sun Golden Crow, with a cultivation of 300,000 years, was even more humble than Ah Yin back then?
Could this be the power of the Silver Dragon King?
Gu Yue Na was still a decent person!
Perhaps sensing Nangong Lingyun's thoughts, the Sun Golden Crow didn't wait for him to ask and immediately explained, "Master, I heard your pet space can help soul pets evolve their bloodlines. This little crow, I really want to improve.
I'm impatient, hungry for it, like I have to do it right now.
Should we form the contract immediately, or should I treat you to something first? There's a kind of golden crystal at the bottom of this magma. It warms your belly after you eat it, and you can't find it anywhere else. It's a specialty of Flame Mountain."
What else could Nangong Lingyun do? Of course, he accepted everything.
"Since it's a matter of urgency, let's do it now."
Just ten minutes later, the tenth most powerful ferocious beast on Douluo Continent was successfully added to his collection.
Because it was a ferocious beast that had undergone two lightning tribulations, the Sun Golden Crow instantly transformed into a fiery beauty with a distinct Western Region flair. She used a few semi-transparent, ribbon-like fabrics wrapped around her neck, wrists, ankles, and other key areas.
A gentle breeze blew, and countless ribbons fluttered behind her. Even before she started dancing, she was already making people's imaginations run wild.
Her face was exquisite, especially her orange eyes and her fiery red lips, which were incredibly striking. Nangong Lingyun, filled with excitement, named her Nangong Nazha.
Then, he held her hand and peppered her with questions, which caused Gu Yue Na to grit her teeth and her brow to twitch.
The Sun Golden Crow's transformed divine weapon, unlike other spirit beasts, had a different style. It was a magnificent fan, displaying five colors: black, red, blue, orange, and purple. It could release five different types of flames, each with unique functions and characteristics. After some discussion, the three of them finally decided on the name, Five Fire Phoenix Fan.
The Sun Golden Crow wanted to improve, and Nangong Lingyun wanted it even more.
Back at the academy that very night, he found Shui Bing'er and completely supplemented the missing water attribute of the first set of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
Late at night, after the exertion, he immediately entered closed-door cultivation again.
As expected, when Yin-Yang and Five Elements were completely unified, a tremendous change suddenly occurred within his body.
Yin-Yang was fine; his supreme Yin and Yang cultivation technique had already reached near perfection,
But the Five Elements energy, at the instant it formed a cycle, all drilled into the corresponding heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, each transforming into a strand of unique innate spiritual energy.
It was vastly different from the genuine qi cultivated by the cultivation technique. It was obvious that this was a higher level of energy.
The Sixth Soul Skill, Five Elements Creation, two million-year Overgod-level Soul Bones with elemental affinity abilities, plus the appearance of innate Five Elements spiritual energy,
everything was ready, save for the final piece.
Nangong Lingyun decided to officially begin cultivating the third picture of the Longevity Technique.
And because the time each of the girls had spent cultivating the Yin-Yang Grand Dao varied, the Five Elements attributes were not balanced at the moment. Xiao Wu's Metal attribute was the strongest, while Shui Bing'er's Water attribute was the weakest, and yet, Metal still generated Water.
Therefore, the first of the Five Elements to be focused on was determined to be Water.
After years of cultivating the Longevity Technique, for him now, getting started was no longer a difficult matter.
In just half a day, the first wisp of innate cold ice true qi was born from the Five Elements water.
Nangong Lingyun directly stayed in Shui Bing'er's Hall of Reserved Beauty. He cultivated his techniques during the day and thoroughly comprehended the Yin-Yang Dao at night, making rapid progress.
It was worth mentioning that as he began to cultivate the Five Elements technique, that wisp of innate Five Elements spiritual qi also gradually grew stronger,
causing the corresponding organs to become more powerful.
And the water attribute was housed in the kidneys, making Shui Bing'er's time a bit miserable.
After a month,
Nangong Lingyun moved his base to the Hall of Eternal Spring and officially took in Ye Lingling. Using water to generate wood, the Five Elements wood also gained instant entry and grew rapidly.
Fortunately, Lingling had Ah Yin's help and wasn't as miserable or tired as Shui Bing'er.
But after another month, Nangong Lingyun was forced to leave his closed-door cultivation.
The Yin-Yang and Five Elements cultivation methods were different. Yin-Yang, because they each had a Martial Soul as a carrier, were equivalent to spiritual roots in the cultivation world.
Cultivating them separately posed no problem.
However, the Five Elements relied on the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys as carriers, requiring a balance to be maintained. The entire cycle of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth had to be generated in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, he would have to temporarily suppress his progress.
Therefore, he now needed Liu Erlong's help with his cultivation.
Not only did he lack fire from Liu Erlong, but the second set of Five Elements also lacked earth and metal. He was actually also short on water, but Shui Bing'er happened to bridge the gap between the end of the first set and the beginning of the second.
Nangong Lingyun looked at the balance of more than two hundred million on his account and pondered for a moment, deciding to initiate the summoning technique.
Money is a bastard, you can earn more when you spend it, but time waits for no one.
