Chapter 6

Sun Hao's consciousness entered a peculiar space, pitch black, where he could not feel his body, but he could sense his own existence, a feeling of being real without a physical form.

In the darkness, a nine-colored light orb, about a foot in diameter, slowly drifted over from the distance, and Sun Hao immediately felt a strong sense of familiarity.

This light orb? Sun Hao quickly realized that this nine-colored light orb must be the immortal connection he had gained from this trial. Sun Hao consciously moved closer to the light orb.

The light orb in his consciousness was about a foot in diameter, emitting a gentle glow. As Sun Hao's consciousness approached, the light shone on him, giving him an unusual sense of comfort.

This light orb was a legacy light orb, one of the supreme legacies of a disciple of the Five Elements Sect.

The light orb contained the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique, a cultivation method that aids in cultivation. Its effect was to make up for the deficiencies of the Five Elements, enhancing cultivation. Even if a cultivator's main cultivation method was an ordinary technique, the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique could often turn the mundane into the miraculous, broadening the path to immortality for the cultivator.

Based on Sun Hao's physical condition, the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique had automatically evolved into a cultivation method suitable for Sun Hao, the Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique.

Sun Hao lacked the Fire Element! The Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique was going to give him a Fire Spirit Root.

Sun Hao had a slight doubt. Didn't the immortal master outside say that fewer spirit roots were better? Why did the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique increase the number of spirit roots? What did that mean?

Of course, Sun Hao did not know that the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique was an ancient legacy, somewhat disconnected from the current cultivation world.

At this moment, Sun Hao's first reaction to the Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique was excitement.

Sun Hao did not have a Fire Element spirit root. Master Huang had told him to abandon the Fire Technique, which he was very reluctant to do. After all, he had started practicing the Fire Technique at the age of three and had developed a deep emotional connection with it and the flames.

The Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique solved this problem for him.

The principle of the Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique was: Wood generates Fire. This meant that on the basis of a Wood Spirit Root, a Fire Spirit Root would be derived.

According to the information provided by the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique, several conditions needed to be met to cultivate the Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique.

Condition one: The cultivator must have a Wood Spirit Root and be cultivating a Wood attribute technique.

Condition two: The cultivator must have cultivated Fire Element internal energy to the peak of the Later Heaven stage, to derive Fire Essence Energy.

The third condition: The blood from the heart of a Fire Element spirit beast.

This was a reverse theory.

In other words, normally, one would need a Fire Spirit Root to cultivate Fire Element immortal techniques, but the Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique did the opposite, first cultivating Fire Essence Energy and then deriving a Fire Spirit Root.

It was like the paradox of whether the chicken or the egg came first, each having its own logic.

After reading the information about the Five Elements Wheel Fire Technique, Sun Hao's consciousness felt overwhelmed.

The information transmitted by the light orb made Sun Hao realize that his current level was too low, and he could not understand much from the light orb. However, as his cultivation improved, the nine-colored light orb would gradually merge with his consciousness, becoming his true knowledge.

Looking at the nine-colored light orb, which was still dense despite being slightly diminished, Sun Hao immediately understood that the path of cultivation was long and arduous, and this light orb would be enough to keep him occupied for a while.

He hoped that the Five Elements Wheel Spirit Technique would bring him more surprises.

Feeling overwhelmed, Sun Hao's consciousness vibrated and he was ejected.

Opening his eyes, he saw a pair of gentle eyes, a familiar and warm but not particularly beautiful face.

Sun Hao felt a warmth in his heart and called out, "Mother."

When Sun Hao woke up, Sun Qiang and Gu Qiang immediately came in from the outer room, followed by Elder Xia.

Seeing Elder Xia, Sun Hao instinctively looked behind him, but he did not see Xia Qingyu. Instead, he saw Gu Yun sneaking in behind them.

Elder Xia, noticing Sun Hao's gaze, explained gently, "Xia Qingyu has already been sent to the immortal sect."

Xia Qingyu had woken up the day before yesterday, and her awakening was very special.

A giant white crane descended from the sky, and on the crane was a cold and distant white-robed immortal maiden. With a casual wave of her hand, Xia Qingyu was pulled onto the crane.

Just as she was about to be lifted onto the crane's back, Xia Qingyu panicked and shouted loudly, "Immortal sister, I want to see Brother Hao, I want to enter the immortal sect with Brother Hao, please, immortal sister."

The white-robed beauty's face was cold and expressionless, but she said, "He is not in the same immortal sect as you."

With that, she commanded, "Go."

The white crane let out a loud cry, spread its wings, and flew into the sky.

On the back of the crane, Xia Qingyu continued to shout loudly, "I want to see Brother Hao, I want to see Brother Hao, I want to be in the same immortal sect as Brother Hao..."

Faintly, the cold voice of the white-robed beauty could be heard, "When your cultivation is deep enough, you can see anyone you want."

Elder Xia, though he did not know the details of the trial, suspected that his precious granddaughter must have gained a significant immortal connection, and that this connection was related to Sun Hao.

Therefore, even though Xia Qingyu had already entered the immortal sect, Elder Xia did not immediately return to the family. Instead, he stayed at the city lord's residence, citing the recruitment of other spirit root children.

Now that Sun Hao had woken up, Elder Xia naturally came to visit. Seeing Sun Hao naturally look behind him where Xia Qingyu should have been, and recalling Xia Qingyu's behavior when she entered the immortal sect, Elder Xia was certain that Sun Hao must have had contact with Xia Qingyu during the trial, and that Xia Qingyu's immortal connection was related to him. However, he was puzzled as to why Sun Hao, apart from being unconscious for a few days, did not have as much commotion as Xia Qingyu.

Elder Xia smiled and said, "Xia Qingyu was still shouting to see Brother Hao when she entered the immortal sect. Hahaha, you two must have been together during the trial."

Sun Hao nodded, "Yes... we were."

Just as he said this, someone outside coldly interrupted, "Do not talk about the Green Wood Sect's entrance trial to anyone. That is the rule."

With these words, Elder Qing walked in with a serious expression, looked at the embarrassed Elder Xia, and then at Sun Hao's expression, nodding, "You look much better. Normally, you could leave right away, but our Green Wood Sect is not like other sects that lack humanity. Since your parents are here, we will give you one night. You can leave early tomorrow morning."

Elder Qing was not satisfied with the attitude of the major sect that had taken Xia Qingyu, and this affected his attitude towards Xia Rong.

After saying this, Elder Qing turned and left.

As Elder Qing walked out of the room, Sun Hao clearly heard his voice, "Boy, it's best to keep what happened in the Sky-Filling Disk to yourself. Otherwise, be careful, understand? Don't be surprised, only you can hear this."

Sun Hao was startled, but his face showed no change. He said, "Elder Xia, during the trial, Xia Qingyu and I met..."

Xia Rong interrupted him, "No, don't say it. I don't want to hear it. Xia Qingyu didn't say anything, and I'm afraid Elder Qing will cause trouble for me."

After saying this, Xia Rong got up and left, but he became even more curious about Sun Hao's experience during the trial.

The guests left.

The three of them, father and son, sat down in the room.

Sun Qiang patted Sun Hao's head, thinking about the harsh world of cultivation that Elder Xia had described, sighed, and his face softened, a simple and honest smile with a hint of determination, "Xiao Hao, at home, your mother has been teaching you, and you have learned well, picking up many things quickly. Honestly, I am very proud. However, tomorrow you will go out into the world like a man, and I have a few things to say to you."

Seeing his father's serious expression, Sun Hao sat up straight.

"First, no matter what you cultivate, remember the Sun family's ancestral teachings. Always learn the basics well. Whether a tall building can stand on the ground depends on its foundation. You must understand this principle," Sun Qiang said slowly.

Sun Hao thought of the small iron hammers he had used from a young age and the thousands of hammer swings he practiced every day after the age of five, and nodded in understanding.

"Second, do not do anything that will make you feel guilty. As the saying goes, 'If you do not do anything wrong, you will not fear the knock of the ghost.' I believe that no matter what kind of immortal you cultivate, if your heart is not at ease, it will not benefit your cultivation. So, whatever you do, always be able to look yourself in the eye," Sun Qiang said, his face glowing with pride and vitality, clearly having lived by this principle.

"As for the third," Sun Qiang's expression suddenly changed, and a killing aura emanated from him, "you must be decisive in your actions. When you must kill, pursue them to the ends of the earth. When you must kill, exterminate their entire family..."
