"This should be the Spirit of the Woods." Looking around at the lush forest, where every tree towered over ten zhang and required several people to embrace, Ren Pingsheng immediately realized what opponent he was about to face.
"Boom boom..." The entire forest shook as countless trees vanished, all converging into the largest tree in the center. In an instant, a massive tree over thirty zhang tall formed, needing dozens of people to encircle it. Its branches and leaves were abundant, with limbs as thick as an adult's waist, swaying up and down, leaving a series of explosive sounds in the air.
"Bang..." A shadow flashed by, and where Ren Pingsheng had just stood was now a pit; he then saw that it was a thick branch of the Spirit of the Woods, moving so fast that it was hard to see clearly.
"This is a tough opponent, but the Golden Realm happens to counter it. No matter how powerful its branches are, as long as I cut off its main body, it will be useless." After dodging an attack, Ren Pingsheng flickered like a butterfly among the dancing branches.
"Slash!" Once close enough, he hesitated not at all. Drawing his Wind Scar Sword, waves of golden sword energy surged forth with endless sharpness toward the giant Spirit of the Woods.
Countless branches curled up in an attempt to block the approaching sword energy, but under the invincible sharpness of the Golden Realm, they snapped in half. However, there was still some result; most of the golden sword energy was consumed, and only three waves struck the Spirit of the Woods, leaving three long wounds from which green blood flowed.
"Ah, there's blood; that makes it easier to deal with. Explode for me!" Seeing the green blood, Ren Pingsheng's mood shifted as he activated the Blood Realm. The green blood trembled continuously until it exploded with a 'boom,' tearing open a new wound on top of the existing ones.
The Spirit of the Woods also reacted violently due to the Blood Realm; its blood surged restlessly as it swayed back and forth. Countless branches waved about unconsciously.
"Let's finish this; slash!" He naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. Stepping closer to the Spirit of the Woods, he unleashed an even sharper wave of golden sword energy.
"Boom..." The unopposed golden sword energy flashed past. The massive Spirit of the Woods trembled and was split in two, its wounds smooth as a mirror.
Countless waving branches slowly drooped down, losing their vitality and gradually turning yellow. It seemed that life force was continuously draining away; this Spirit of the Woods had already perished.
"Here it comes!" As the entire Spirit of the Woods disappeared, a flash of green light darted into his body. It was a gentle and comfortable light filled with vitality.
As this green light entered him, the six-colored vortex in his Dantian suddenly shook and began to spin violently. Countless green lights radiated from the vortex, merging with the green light that had entered him and gradually forming a green seed.
"This is... could this be Wood Realm?" Ren Pingsheng muttered in surprise.
He knew that the six-colored vortex could absorb five elements' Artistic Conceptions. Back at Sword King’s Tomb, he had absorbed four types of Artistic Conceptions other than Golden Realm. Now suddenly having Wood Realm emerge from within was understandable. What surprised him was that they condensed into a seed based on the Artistic Conception left by the Spirit of the Woods.
This seed slowly rotated within his Dantian. He extended his consciousness to try and make contact with it. Suddenly, he felt himself shudder as he sensed a space filled with countless shades of green.
"How is this possible... this is Wood Realm space." Ren Pingsheng said incredulously. The green seed had brought him here, meaning he could comprehend Wood Realm now.
Thinking of this, he hesitated no longer and immediately closed his eyes to begin comprehending. The vitality and life force of the Wood Realm continuously swirled in his heart. The green light in the space kept pouring into his body.
While Ren Pingsheng was comprehending the Wood Realm, other martial artists who had passed the first test were also present. None of them had comprehended the Golden Realm, but they all felt a surge of golden light within them. Unfortunately, almost none of them could comprehend the Artistic Conception like Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng was able to comprehend the Wood Realm because he already had the essence of the Wood Realm within him. After merging with the newly emerged Wood Realm, he met the requirements for comprehension.
Without these conditions, he would not have been able to comprehend it either. This was akin to planting an un-germinated seed within them. Perhaps in the future, at the right moment, they could easily comprehend it. Or maybe they would need some external stimulus like Ren Pingsheng did. However, there were a few lucky ones among them who also comprehended some of the Artistic Conception just like Ren Pingsheng.
"Thirty percent of the Wood Realm is quite good. It seems this Five Elements Trial will yield great rewards," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile after opening his eyes an hour later. He knew that since he could comprehend the Wood Realm, the remaining three types of Artistic Conception would likely not be difficult either.
"It's a pity that with so many Artistic Conceptions, future cultivation will take even more time. It looks like after I go out, I need to challenge the Trial Sword Tower again before leaving." He pondered for a moment before arriving at this conclusion. Comprehending Artistic Conception in the Trial Sword Tower would be much faster. Now, it was just right for him to break through his cultivation.
Just as he finished his comprehension, he felt fluctuations in space and then saw an endless ocean around him, with waves crashing and winds howling.
"This must be the Water Spirit. Without the Fire Realm, it looks like I'll have a tough battle ahead." Although Ren Pingsheng thought this way, there was no worry on his face; instead, he felt a bit excited.
In the end, after a fierce battle, Ren Pingsheng condensed the seed of water and comprehended the Water Realm. Unfortunately, his level of comprehension was not high; like with the Wood Realm, he only reached thirty percent. It did not prove very useful against the Fire Spirit.
Fortunately, Ren Pingsheng had comprehended three types of Artistic Conception and two types of Wind and Cloud Artistic Conception, which meant he would not be restrained by the Five Elements Artistic Conception. After putting in some effort, he successfully passed through it. After defeating the Fire Spirit, he also successfully comprehended the Fire Realm as he wished.
Although comprehending so many Artistic Conceptions was time-consuming, it provided him with many options for future paths without being limited to just one or two types of Artistic Conception.
"Alright, this last one should be known as the strongest defensive Earth Realm. Earth Spirit, come forth!" Ren Pingsheng said with a smile as he looked at a towering mountain before him.
"Boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, the entire mountain collapsed. In just a few breaths, it formed into a giant made of stone that stood over fifty feet tall. With each step it took, the entire space trembled. To Ren Pingsheng, it felt like an ant before a giant.
"This Earth Spirit is quite formidable when attacking!" Ren Pingsheng observed as a massive hand about ten feet wide came crashing down with terrifying force that made his heart tremble.
"Break!" However, he would not be intimidated; with a swing of his Windscar Sword, golden Sword Qi flashed swiftly.
"Boom..." Countless stones fell as that strike severed half of its palm. Seizing this opportunity, Ren Pingsheng managed to escape; otherwise, he would have been buried under falling rocks. The Earth Spirit let out a roar and stomped down with equal ferocity.
"Hmph! I don't believe you can take much more punishment." He snorted coldly and struck again with his sword; instantly, the entire space was enveloped in Cloud Mist as the Earth Spirit became trapped within it. Sharp blades of wind struck it like lightning.
In an instant, dust rose and debris filled the air while Cloud Mist rolled around. The Earth Spirit's furious roars came intermittently. The Cloud Mist diminished rapidly under its struggle; within ten breaths, it completely vanished from sight.
At this moment, the Earth Spirit looked miserable, with half of its body and one arm burned. Its body was pockmarked, covered in numerous wounds.
"Roar..." The instant it emerged, a massive punch came forward, flashing right in front of Ren Pingsheng. It was truly a case of the sound arriving before the force, as an overwhelming gust of wind rustled his clothes.
"Bang..." Ren Pingsheng's Windscar Sword trembled, instantly unleashing dozens of strikes, with countless afterimages overlapping. This was still the Seven Star Sword Technique, but with his current cultivation level, the Sword Technique had long since broken free from its original constraints. It was no longer limited to thirteen consecutive strikes; as long as his strength was sufficient, twenty or even a hundred strikes were not a problem.
"Impressive!" As Ren Pingsheng's Windscar Sword collided with the Earth Spirit's massive fist, they briefly held their ground before Ren Pingsheng was sent flying. His right hand trembled continuously, and the Windscar Sword danced rapidly in his grip.
A small hole appeared in the Earth Spirit's fist, with Sword Qi crisscrossing inside. Then its entire right arm began to shatter piece by piece, leaving behind a pile of rubble.
"You can rest now!" With two arms missing, the Earth Spirit's threat had greatly diminished. It paused, advancing instead of retreating, as seven Phantom Bodies flashed to its sides. They launched merciless attacks, with Sword Light flickering and Sword Qi intertwining. Even with only about a third of Ren Pingsheng's strength, he could still inflict some damage.
"Heavenly Sword Third Style, Slash!" With the Phantom Bodies restraining it, Ren Pingsheng turned mid-air, holding his sword with both hands. A terrifying Intimidation emerged from the Void, causing the entire space to freeze for a moment as a white Sword Qi flashed by.
"Bang..." The Earth Spirit didn't have time to react before a horrific wound appeared on its neck. Countless fragments fell away as half of its head nearly detached. It halted as if such a heavy blow rendered it unable to attack.
In the end, the Earth Spirit fell beneath Ren Pingsheng's sword. He successfully obtained Earth's Realm and condensed the seed of Earth's Realm within himself.
"The Five Elements Artistic Conception is just missing Earth's Realm. Time to comprehend it!" Sitting on the ground, Ren Pingsheng activated his consciousness and entered a state of comprehension once again. The earth in his surroundings seemed to resonate; as he continued to comprehend, it vibrated rhythmically.
This place was originally the Earth Spirit's domain; thus, Earth's Realm was naturally very active, making comprehension much quicker. This was also why he could grasp thirty percent of the Artistic Conception within just one hour. While it was certainly due to his Realm of Intent and innate understanding, the active Artistic Conception in his surroundings could not be overlooked either.
