Chapter 10: Transformation of the Five Elements
Adam's words undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for Gu Xuan, allowing him to re-examine this world from another perspective and understand the true hidden power of this world.
He didn't know what the etheric energy was for the time being, but perhaps just like the various myths and legends that have been passed down from mouth to mouth throughout the ages, it may be the aura that cultivators flock to and can't ask for, or maybe it's just a special energy, but it was unknown before.
As for why he suddenly sensed the existence of the etheric energy, he didn't know this question for the time being, but he just guessed that it might be like the popular chivalry in the Western Continent, which was opened up by Adam, a "martial arts master", and he soared into the sky from then on.
But these questions didn't matter, because the only thing he was concerned about now was how to use the ether to become more powerful.
According to Adam, whether it is their earth race or the spirit race who are better at using ether energy, their method of using ether is to rely on the ether energy stored in their bodies to resonate with the ether energy of the outside world, so as to create something out of nothing and release all kinds of magical magic that people in the western continent cannot understand at all, but for them, ether energy does have a certain strengthening effect on the body, but not much.
But this is not an absolute law, such as the Kraken clan who attacked at night before, they were born to allow a small amount of aether energy to attach to their skin and claws, becoming a unique aether toxin, which cannot be cured by any human doctor.
Just as the aether energy itself cannot be used as an effective medicine to treat others, it cannot be dispelled by ordinary medicines, and the only thing that can expel the aether is the aether energy itself!
Judging from this theorem, it was actually very thrilling when Gu Xuan was made to lose his mind by the Kraken toxin before, if Adam decided not to save him, when the Kraken clan outside evacuated, and the other Earth clan crew members came back from the deck, maybe Gu Xuan would not be able to save him, and even if he could stick to his heart and not go completely crazy, it was difficult to say whether the other Earth Clansmen had the ability like Adam.
So Gu Xuan is very grateful for Adam's help, this foreign friend is really a rare good person.
At the same time, Adam also told him unreservedly that in fact, it is not difficult to absorb the energy of the ether, because its existence is like the invisible and untouched air around it, and everyone can obtain it in various ways, but the difference is that the ether with a certain attribute can only be absorbed and used by the race with a specific attribute.
This is why the Earth Clansmen have only been active in the Eastern Continent for a long time, and even the other huge islands around it are actually difficult to meet their needs for earth-attribute ether energy.
But the problem arises, because the Terrans in the Western Continent seem to have never been recorded in the history of any race that can use the aether energy, so no one knows what attribute of the aether energy the Terrans are more comfortable with.
Adam didn't even know if Gu Xuan had used the earth-attribute ether energy that Adam had instilled into him to some extent, or if his body was actually rejecting the earth-attribute etheric energy, so that he couldn't vent it out of his body by punching and kicking it.
This problem still needs to be proved by some experiments, but the earth-attribute ether energy above the sea is too scarce, and it is impossible for other earthlings to cooperate with him in experiments, so Adam has not thought it through for the time being.
Many times, no matter how much you think about it, it's not as good as operating it once.
Can't practice on the spot, it's useless to rely on fantasy alone, not to mention that no matter how smart Adam is, the Terran is still too strange to him, and he only remembers some truths and celebrity anecdotes that his mother taught him when he was a child, but when it comes to the method of using etheric energy for the Terran, he doesn't have much experience to use.
It's just that even Adam didn't know that Gu Xuan was actually hiding one thing, he discovered one thing when he was still on the deck, that mysterious power was actually not only pouring out of his body, but also constantly replenishing from outside the body to the inside, but he didn't fully grasp how to use it at that time, and at the same time, his body didn't adapt to it rampage inside, so after venting, he quickly lost his strength, and the two forces inside and outside quickly disappeared.
The nature in the body was instilled in Adam, but what about the outside of the body?
There are many possibilities for this, maybe it was his natural preference for the aetheric energy of the water attribute, which caused the aetheric energy of the water attribute around him to reject the earth-attribute aetheric energy that was infused into his body by Adam, or maybe he couldn't use this power at all, the two sides were just consuming each other, and when they were exhausted, he would naturally lose his strength.
But Gu Xuan felt that it was not, he felt that he could actually absorb and use these two completely different etheric energies, and in a more direct, but at the same time, more ingenious method.
Gu Xuan has been thinking about this question silently, maybe it's the entire human race, or maybe it's just me, but in short, I, Gu Xuan, seem to have broken the law about etheric energy.
According to Adam, with the exception of the gifted Overlord of the Four Seas, the Dragons, no race has yet been found to be able to absorb and use two or more aetheric energies with diametrically opposed attributes.
For example, the Earthlings only favor earth-based and metal-based aether energy, while the Spirit Clans can absorb the wood-based aether energy that overflows from the forest, and even a little bit of water-based aether energy.
Although earth and metal, wood and water are related to each other, they are not completely restrained, but it is impossible for any race to absorb only the power of water and fire, because that will inevitably cause an imbalance of aetheric energy, and even crowd each other, and eventually harm their masters.
In the entire Canghai Realm, only the dragon clan can absorb the power of the five elements of creation at the same time, many years ago, some spirit scholars put forward their own ideas, thinking that this is because the five elements constitute a virtuous circle in their bodies, so it has become a good thing, which also leads to the individual strength of the dragon clan is the strongest in the entire Canghai Realm.
But Gu Xuan has now successfully absorbed the two opposing forces, the earth attribute is to restrain the water attribute, and the two of them should not be able to form a virtuous circle in the body.
But......
Taking advantage of the fact that the other sailors who slept with him were still busy working outside and did not come back, Gu Xuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed alone and staying in the room to rest, looked at the little yellow light that suddenly appeared on his fingers, his eyes were full of curiosity and yearning for the new world.
The yellow light is the purest earth attribute ether, even purer than the iconic brown light of the earth people, after all, the power of the earth people also comes from minerals, which is actually a combination of earth and gold, which is why their people are good at smelting and like to build weapons and armor.
But this is on the sea, and Gu Xuan doesn't have the ability to find so much untraceable earth attribute ether energy from this vast water attribute ether ability, and then accumulate it and get it out at this time.
The reason why he was able to make the yellow light bloom could only mean one thing, he had completed the transformation between etheric energy in his body!
No one had ever taught him, and perhaps it was like Adam had said, that for races that could use aetheric energy, these were just talents, talents that could be used without the need for hard research, and that would not make up for the lack after research.
But the Terrans are completely different, the biggest difference between the Terrans and other races is that the Terrans are good at observing, studying and thinking, which is why the Terrans are obviously the weakest race in the entire Canghai Realm, but now the routes between the East and the West are all operated by the Terrans.
This is the result of Gu Xuan's self-experiment, he was just thinking just now, he should not be affinity to the two attributes of water and earth, in fact, there will be no situation where two mutually restrained etheric energies appear in the body of the same person, because once it cannot form a virtuous circle, or even let the two be independent of each other and not interfere with each other, the consequences of the restraint of that side must be dissolved by the other energy.
So Gu Xuan was wondering, could he actually be like the dragon clan, and he could also build a virtuous circle of the five elements of creation in his body.
And what is the cycle, that is, the transformation between attributes can be carried out naturally!
So he gave it a try.
Gu Xuan flicked his fingers, the earthy yellow light disappeared instantly, a little bit of turquoise, like a wave of water appeared at his fingertips, and a look of intoxication appeared in his eyes, at this moment, he only felt as if he was a swimming fish in the * sea, although he could not mobilize the power of the entire sea to assist him, but once the fish was in the water, everything around him was actually helping!
At that time, that wonderful and powerful feeling began to appear again, but just as Gu Xuan wanted to continue his research, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and the other seven sailors who slept with him walked in together, none of them were terrans, they were all human races.
The Kraken Clan lost a lot of manpower in the night attack before, but most of them were actually Earth people, and the casualties of the Terran crew were not too much in comparison, the first is that the master behind the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce is the Terran after all, and this kind of desperate thing must go up first to avoid the imbalance in the number of the two sides in the future, and be dominated by the Earth people, and the second is because the Earth crew can be replenished at any time when they arrive in the East Continent, because the internal war in the East Continent continues, although this kind of life at sea is also dangerous and dangerous, but at least it is better than the East Continent, not to mention that the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce has always been very generous in terms of salary, after all, as long as people die, then you don't have to pay, don't you.
