Chapter 220 Three hundred thousand five-colored spirit beads!

Below the black mountain, Fu Huaian stood with his hands behind his back, looking up, a faint five-colored glow circulating around his body.

When the five-colored threads flying around touched Fu Huaian, more than thirty percent of them directly retreated.

The remaining seventy percent, after being obstructed by Bai Mei's Dao Field and the Heavenly Devil Sacred Flame, were already less than one in ten!

Bai Mei glanced at Fu Huaian and said helplessly, "Your Five Elements Law is still too crude; it can't even be called Minor Achievement!"

Fu Huaian gave her a speechless look.

"I have comprehended the Law, and I comprehended the Five Elements all at once. To achieve such results in just over a month is already astonishing!"

Bai Mei blinked her red eyes and sighed softly.

"That's true…"

Fu Huaian shook his head, took Bai Mei's small hand, and planned to go up the mountain to take a look.

The black mountain was extremely majestic, with a winding, rugged path for walking.

The two hadn't walked long when they found a cave carved into the mountain wall beside the path, with a gaunt old man standing at the entrance.

Fu Huaian thought he had encountered another Human Race corpse, but upon closer inspection, the person at the entrance did not have five-colored eyes, his expression was calm, and his gray hair fluttered.

Bai Mei curiously sized him up, sensed his aura, her mood gradually becoming solemn, and she whispered a message to Fu Huaian:

"His aura is contained within himself, not overflowing at all. Peeking into his inner being, even a glimpse makes my heart tremble. I speculate he is at least a Harmony Realm powerhouse!"

Fu Huaian's mood instantly became heavy.

He had already witnessed the terror of the Harmony Realm!

One Yuan Daozi chased him and Bai Mei like stray dogs, forcing them to flee into this ghostly place!

If their luck was bad and they encountered another Harmony Realm with malicious intentions here, wouldn't they be chased again?

Fu Huaian cautiously stopped for a moment, not daring to continue along the mountain path.

Whoosh—

But even though Fu Huaian didn't go, the old man at the cave entrance flashed over!

Bai Mei's small face paled in surprise, she clutched Fu Huaian's hand, turned, and ran!

"Wow! Run!"

Fu Huaian was speechless, knowing the situation was serious, and dared not let a potentially Harmony Realm powerhouse get close, so he ran along with Bai Mei!

"Little Friend, please stop. This old man has no ill intentions!"

A沧桑 hoarse voice drifted over, indeed showing no malice!

But how could Fu Huaian and Bai Mei be careless? They only dared to look back after putting a long distance between them!

The old man stopped in the distance, looking at Fu Huaian from afar, his expression complex.

"This old man is Xu Jin, Qianhun Daozi, the Lord of Longheng Islands. My approach was not malicious; I was merely curious about the five-colored glow and spiritual flame on Little Friend's body!"

Lord of Longheng Islands!?

Fu Huaian's face stiffened.

No way!

This can't be right!

The reason he could challenge an Ascension Realm as a Dust Immortal Realm was precisely because of the Myriad Souls Flame cultivated by Longheng Islands!

Without the Soul attribute of the Myriad Souls Flame, he couldn't borrow Liu Ruyan's power!

Had he just encountered the original owner of the Myriad Souls Flame?

Fu Huaian felt utterly absurd for a moment!

Although Xu Jin's expression seemed calm, it was not difficult to see the excitement and joy he revealed.

He had been in the Five Elements Forbidden Land for five hundred years.

If he were outside, cultivating in his Immortal Cave for five hundred years, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But in the Five Elements Forbidden Land, unable to cultivate, unable to condense Qi, and having to resist the erosion of the Five Elements Law with all his might, every moment was torment!

So, seeing a living person other than himself, he was naturally excited!

Most importantly, he saw an incredible scene on Fu Huaian!

He could actually comprehend the Five Elements Law and integrate it into his body, which was simply unbelievable!

Fu Huaian frowned slightly, calming his inner speculation, and cautiously stared at Xu Jin.

"Senior Xu, when did you arrive here?"

"Five hundred years ago."

Fu Huaian: "…"

He scrutinized the disheveled Xu Jin, a shock rising in his heart.

He had only been in this ghostly place for over a month and already felt quite tormented; how terrifying would it be to stay for five hundred years?

"Senior Xu, Junior sees your cultivation is extraordinary. Why did you come to this place back then?"

Xu Jin fell into distant memories, letting out a sigh full of regret.

"There have long been rumors in Fulong Province that the Five Elements Forbidden Land contains the Five Elements Sacred Fruit. By consuming the Sacred Fruit, the Five Elements Law would form naturally.

As long as I obtained the Sacred Fruit, I could advance to Dao Lord!"

Fu Huaian was stunned. Sacred Fruit?

That was a level higher than Dao-Grade Heaven And Earth Treasure!

Such a thing would be a top-tier treasure in several great worlds!

Xu Jin continued gloomily:

"But five hundred years have passed, and I am trapped beneath this mountain, unable to go up, unable to leave, only able to suffer and wait for death!"

Fu Huaian's mood grew heavy, and he softly asked, "Is this mountain the center of the Five Elements Forbidden Land?"

Xu Jin nodded gently, replying:

"The periphery of the Five Elements Forbidden Land has an extremely strong suction force, filled with chaotic and disordered Five Elements Law, while the area around the central black mountain is much calmer."

"Even with my Realm, after several attempts, it was difficult to move in the periphery. Forcibly leaving would only result in being torn to shreds by the Five Elements Law!"

Fu Huaian was silent for a moment, not expecting that he had been running towards the center for over a month.

And the initial day he spent in the secret realm pearl, he had already been carried deep into the Five Elements Forbidden Land by the suction!

Fu Huaian looked at Xu Jin from afar, remained silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Junior Fu Huaian. A month ago, I was pursued and had no choice but to enter the Five Elements Forbidden Land."

"What!?"

Xu Jin revealed an undisguised look of shock!

"Little Friend Fu, is your cultivation Dao in Fulong Province the Five Elements Law?"

Xu Jin could only think this way; otherwise, could he have comprehended the Five Elements Law to its current extent in just one month?

Isn't that ridiculous!?

Fu Huaian frowned at him and shook his head.

"I had no previous involvement with the Five Elements Law. Senior must know that the monsters within the Forbidden Land possess five-colored orbs. Holding an orb allows one to comprehend the Dao of Five Elements."

"It's very easy!"

Bai Mei: "…"

Xu Jin: "…"

Neither of them agreed!

Xu Jin, a dignified Harmony Realm Peak, for five thousand years, for the first time completely failed to understand a Junior!

He had only been gone for five hundred years, and Fulong Province had produced such a world-defying Prodigy?

After a long while, Xu Jin finally suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his expression then showing intense excitement!

Assuming what Fu Huaian said was true, the possibility of leaving instantly increased by ninety percent!

"Little Friend Fu, I have about three hundred thousand five-colored orbs in my Immortal Cave. I can give them all to you, only asking that once your Five Elements Law is perfected, you take me away from this place!"

Bai Mei was dumbfounded. Three hundred thousand!?

Did you spend these five hundred years fighting monsters every day?

Fu Huaian, however, did not immediately agree, staring at Xu Jin, deep in thought.

Xu Jin's heart sank upon seeing this. He no longer had the composure he had five hundred years ago; the long period of torment had made him lack sufficient patience.

"Little Friend Fu, as long as you are willing to take me away, I am willing to pay any price!"

Fu Huaian was surprised. Is a dignified Harmony Realm so impatient?

It seems the old man has indeed been tormented quite badly for five hundred years!

"Senior Xu, I have a contract here. I wonder if you would be willing to sign it?"

Xu Jin was startled and asked in a low voice:

"Could Little Friend Fu elaborate?"

Fu Huaian smiled amiably and said gently:

"I see that Senior Xu's cultivation is quite good, and I plan to sign a Heavenly Dao contract with you, making you my guard…"
