A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 501: Chapter 407: Deriving All Things

The Five-Colored Immortal Light, born from the awakening of the Five Elements Immortal Body, is a lifebound divine technique that nearly perfectly demonstrates the power of the Five Elements Immortal Body.

First, as Qi Ping’s lifebound divine technique attack, the Five-Colored Immortal Light itself possesses an exceptionally strong spiritual power impact and immense destructive force. Coupled with extreme speed, it is enough to become a terrifying killer move.

The traits of [Life] and [Destruction] elevate this divine technique to a terrifying level.

The trait of Destruction essentially decomposes the target into a state of void!

For almost all beings in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, whether they are flesh-and-blood creatures or special beings, almost all fall within the scope of the Five Elements’ evolution. For example, the special attributes of wind and thunder also belong to the derivative attributes of the Wood Element.

Furthermore, whether it’s most of the spiritual qi, the flesh-and-blood bodies, magical treasures... even cultivation techniques and divine techniques themselves, almost all fall within the Five Elements!

Especially since Qi Ping has profound insights and understanding of these things.

In other words, when facing these entities, Qi Ping only needs to unleash a Five-Colored Immortal Light to easily decompose them directly into a state of void!

Even if there is an opponent with a foundation not inferior to Qi Ping’s, as long as the opponent cannot escape the power of the Five Elements, their flesh, treasures, and divine techniques can still be decomposed! Although the difficulty of decomposition increases with higher-level forces, it is still very difficult to completely resist; it’s just a matter of time.

Without a divine technique of the same level to resist, defeating Qi Ping would be exceedingly difficult.

"The trait of [Destruction] within the Five-Colored Immortal Light should also have excellent utility in countering opponents’ magic and divine techniques. As long as it can destroy the opponent’s technique from the essence, this force can be directly collapsed, making it a first-rate life-saving means..."

In just a moment, Qi Ping fathomed the wondrous uses of the Five-Colored Immortal Light.

Every attack spell and divine technique he had seen seemed to pale in comparison to this Five-Colored Immortal Light.

Especially in terms of attack, this decomposition trait can be applied to any high-level force. Compared to brute strength and forceful breakthroughs, using the Five-Colored Immortal Light to destroy the weaknesses and essence is much easier.

"However, compared to the trait of [Life], Destruction is still somewhat inferior..."

In contrast to the trait of annihilating all things into void, Qi Ping prefers the trait of [Life]!

While the former undoubtedly has boundless potential in attack and destruction, and its power is undeniable, the trait of [Life] possesses far more multifaceted uses!

The saying that destruction is easier than construction is indeed very fitting in this context.

First, from the standpoint of the divine technique’s traits, it can be used to heal injuries, restore damaged items and people. This is the opposite of the trait of [Destruction], yet Qi Ping sees a greater possibility within it:

The derivation of all things!

This is the greatest confusion and challenge on his path of Immortal Cultivation, and it’s what he most desires to pursue!

Because in his view, he no longer confines himself to any cultivation system. Be it Druid or the path of Immortal Cultivation, at the end of the day, these are just manifestations of the world’s power rules.

The mysterious powers of the Druid arise from the Path of Heaven and Earth itself; Immortal Cultivation is the same, ultimately a utilization of the essence of power.

Although he is still far from reaching the end of these two paths, there are still all sorts of mysterious knowledge and powers waiting for him to gradually comprehend. But this does not prevent him from making judgments and holding his own understanding about the powers he has already grasped.

In Qi Ping’s heart, those who merely follow cultivation techniques without their own insights and exploratory spirit are ultimately just puppets. Any simple Child and Mother Technique, a foundational flaw, or a cultivation mistake can bring about catastrophic disaster for them.

Of course, this is not Qi Ping looking down on these people, because many have already excelled remarkably at this stage, enough to be called geniuses. Some may even be described as stunning, and he cannot belittle them with his current advantage.

However, while others may rely on this, Qi Ping cannot!

He is not like them; the advantages and accumulated foundation he possesses are things they have not achieved. If he cannot realize the essence of power and genuinely master the powers he possesses by reaching this stage, it would be too pathetic and foolish.

Especially as Qi Ping has already sensed that this world is not as simple as it appears.

Since he first entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he has known about traps like the Child and Mother Technique. Once practicing the Child Technique, no matter how powerful the technique itself is, it would instantly lose resistance under the control of the Mother Technique, even becoming food and nourishment.

This is quite common even during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If this is the case for low-level cultivators, what about higher realm cultivators?

Qi Ping also has an answer for this. In the many cultivation techniques and magic he has read and tried, the higher the level of the technique, the more traps there are, and the more sophisticated and harder to detect they become!

In other words, it becomes increasingly dangerous, at least up to the Void Refining Stage—and beyond?

Due to the rarity of high-level cultivation techniques, it becomes increasingly difficult to have relatable references to judge whether a technique has hidden dangers the higher one goes. Obtaining one technique is already a sky-high fortune and opportunity, dreaming of obtaining a second technique is as unrealistic as foolish talk.
