Chapter 348: Chapter 345: Heart of the 5 Elements

Jin Sanpang closed his eyes, letting the Soul-Draining Mother Spider’s poison course through his body.

He cast aside all pain and torment. His mind was now filled with a single conviction: endurance is victory!

Soon, this conviction seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of his Undying Poison Body. Bursts of a strange Energy blossomed from within Jin Sanpang, voraciously devouring and merging with the Soul-Draining Mother Spider’s poison.

In the midst of this process, Jin Sanpang’s body suddenly felt light. The pain vanished, replaced by a soothing comfort, like soaking in a hot spring.

’This is so comfortable, it’s making old San Pang want to sleep,’ Jin Sanpang thought. But he kept reminding himself that he absolutely could not fall asleep.

Mo Qi stood to the side, his expression focused as he watched Jin Sanpang, monitoring his condition in real time.

If Jin Sanpang showed any sign of trouble, he would immediately intervene and put a stop to this fortuitous encounter.

"Hm?"

Just then, Mo Qi let out a soft sound of confusion. His expression turned strange, then became one of exasperated amusement.

’This guy San Pang... he can fall asleep standing up at a time like this?’

That’s right, Jin Sanpang had fallen asleep. He just stood there, head bowed, snoring.

His snores grew louder and louder, and his aura grew stronger and stronger with them. He soon reached a bottleneck, and then broke through it.

’A breakthrough in his sleep. Is this the power of an Innocent Heart?’

Seeing that Jin Sanpang was fine, Mo Qi paid him no more mind and turned to Li Xuemiao’s side.

Li Xuemiao had taken a Grotto Heaven Strike from Huangfu Jun. Her internal organs were all injured, and her Vitality should have completely dissipated.

But because she had consumed the Life-Saving Medicinal Cuisine Mo Qi had left for Jin Sanpang, she was barely clinging to life.

Though she wasn’t dead, she couldn’t wake up either.

Mo Qi stroked his chin, considering the best way to treat her.

"Blessed One, please save my daughter!" Li Shimu quickly pleaded upon seeing this.

Facing Mo Qi, he no longer had a shred of the Emperor’s arrogance.

Mo Qi glanced at Li Shimu and said, "I would have saved this girl even if you hadn’t asked. However, I hope you won’t interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."

Mo Qi’s words were pointed. Li Shimu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood the implication.

He immediately promised, "Rest assured, Blessed One. As long as my daughter is willing, I will not interfere in the slightest with matters between her and Jin Sanpang."

Mo Qi nodded in satisfaction. ’In that case, as his big brother, I might as well pave a smooth path for my future sister-in-law!’

Having made his decision, Mo Qi gritted his teeth, turned to face the phantom of the Five Elements Tree, and reached out to grasp something.

A blue, heart-shaped halo of light flew out from the phantom of the Five Elements Tree.

The people around didn’t even recognize the Five Elements Tree, let alone know what this blue halo was.

But tens of thousands of miles high in the sky, Queen Mo Yan, who had been watching Mo Qi, had a change of expression.

"The Heart of the Five Elements!"

What were the Five Elements?

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!

The five fundamental forms in the evolutionary process of all things in the world!

Why could the Five Elements Tree grow into a World Tree? Why could it be Crossing the Yin and Yang Realms and construct a Supreme Dao Body?

It was because it possessed the Heart of the Five Elements.

And what Mo Qi had just taken out was the Heart of Water, representing the water element within the Five Elements Tree!

’That foolish boy isn’t thinking of giving away the Heart of the Five Elements, is he?’ Queen Mo Yan’s elegant brows furrowed tightly.

Only a complete Heart of the Five Elements could allow the Five Elements Tree to grow into a World Tree.

If Mo Qi gave away the Heart of Water, the Five Elements Tree would forever lose its chance to become a World Tree, and he himself would miss out on a massive fortuitous opportunity.

Queen Mo Yan looked down at Mo Qi, and her brow suddenly smoothed out as a pure smile appeared on her face.

’A foolish boy is still a foolish boy, after all. How could there be someone as silly as you in this world? Can’t you ever prioritize yourself?’

There was one more sentence Queen Mo Yan didn’t say aloud: ’Isn’t it precisely this foolishness that moved me?’

In the corridor of the Fighting Cultivation Room, Mo Qi held the Heart of Water, his palm open.

"Go!"

With a soft command, the Heart of Water flew above Li Xuemiao, slowly landed on her chest over her heart, and sank into her body.

Instantly, a dazzling, aquamarine light enveloped Li Xuemiao.

It was as if some kind of power between heaven and earth was awakening. Everyone bathed in the blue light felt a sense of comfort spread through their bodies, their minds and Divine Senses clearer than ever before.

Li Shimu even felt that the foundation of his Divine Sea Half-Immortal Realm, which he had only recently broken through to, was rapidly stabilizing.

The way he looked at Mo Qi changed once again.

It was obvious that the blue halo was an extraordinary Precious Treasure.

Yet Mo Qi had given it to Li Xuemiao without even batting an eye.

What kind of magnanimity was this?

Li Shimu asked himself and knew he couldn’t do the same.

"Alright, she should be fine now. She’ll wake up soon."

With Li Xuemiao’s problem solved, only Wu the Old Ghost’s son remained.

Stimulated by the Five Elements Tree’s Power of Life, the Vitality within Wu the Old Ghost’s son had already been activated.

At the same time, his Cold Cicada Bloodline began to display its might. A bone-chilling coldness radiated from the branches enveloping him, freezing an area of several dozen feet into a world of ice.

Mo Qi strode forward. The branches writhed on their own, revealing the head of Wu the Old Ghost’s son.

Ignoring the chill, Mo Qi placed his hand on the young man’s Skull. Instantly, his entire arm was covered in the cold and frozen like an ice sculpture.

"The Cold Cicada Bloodline... it’s truly domineering," Mo Qi muttered to himself. "But I’m even more domineering than you!"

"First Transformation of the Eight Transformations of Creation—Gorging and Drinking, come forth!"

A powerful suction force emanated from Mo Qi’s palm, targeting only the Cold Cicada Bloodline within the body of Wu the Old Ghost’s son.

The Eight Transformations of Creation, derived from the "Creation Golden Body Technique," was an ability unique to Mo Qi, one he had comprehended with the help of the "Chaos Scripture" and his own understanding.

Don’t be fooled by the crude and chuunibyou-like name "Gorging and Drinking." To this day, Mo Qi had yet to encounter any Energy that could resist its devouring power.

Not even Dragon Energy and Nether Energy were immune; in fact, they were instead purified into Dragon Crystals and Nether Crystals.

Therefore, under the might of "Gorging and Drinking," the Cold Cicada Bloodline soon failed to resist. It was uprooted and drawn into Mo Qi’s body.

The "Chaos Scripture" immediately went into effect, instantly analyzing the Cold Cicada Bloodline.

At Mo Qi’s direction, it stripped away the properties within the bloodline that conflicted with Yang Energy.

In an instant, the Cold Cicada Bloodline underwent a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation.

Both its aura and its properties became purer and more powerful.

"Should be fine now. Go back!"

Seeing this, Mo Qi returned the modified Cold Cicada Bloodline to Wu the Old Ghost’s son.

BUZZ!

The Power of Heaven and Earth churned. The moment the Cold Cicada Bloodline returned to his body, Wu the Old Ghost’s son snapped his eyes open.

A monstrous chill swept out, spreading in all directions.

The branches enveloping him shattered into shards of ice.

"Halt!"

Mo Qi raised a hand. With just a single word, the rampaging chill immediately halted its advance, as if frozen in place.

"Return!"

With another word, all the chill reversed its course, retracting and drilling back into the body of Wu the Old Ghost’s son.
