Chapter 433: Chapter 235: Five Directions and Five Elements Dojo (3)

"After I came out of seclusion, I was afflicted by a fire tribulation and had no opportunity to explore the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo. What I do know is that it has vanished into the void.

"The Taoist skills of my Dharma Origin Sect were passed down by our Founder. Though they originate from the Primordial Extreme Immortal Venerable, they are, in truth, no longer the same. Therefore, while the Dharma Origin Sect can be considered a sect under the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo, we do not carry its orthodox lineage.

"And the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo has now disappeared into the void. Even if we knew its location, we might not be able to enter it.

"But you are different. The Five Elements Primordial Union Art you cultivate is considered a true inheritance from the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo. You might be able to find it..."

Xuzhuang’s brow furrowed tightly. He asked, "The Five Directions Five Elements Dojo disappeared into the void. Does that mean it has been destroyed?"

True Master Xu Chen stated frankly, "I do not know. But it is certainly possible."

A jolt went through Xuzhuang’s heart. He asked, "A Pure Yang Dojo can also be destroyed? Could it be that a Pure Yang True Monarch—an ancient Immortal Venerable who may have even touched upon the Celestial Immortal Dao Fruit—can also perish?"

True Master Xu Chen said again, "I do not know..." He pondered for a moment before continuing, "Unless one attains the truest state of Pure Yang, it is impossible to comprehend the sheer profundity of the Pure Yang Taoist Skill. I believe the Pure Yang True Monarch could perish, but it is more likely that he will one day return.

"Although the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo is far from the Profound Yellow Realm, its disappearance seems as if it was simply forgotten. I cannot see through the fog surrounding this matter.

"I admit, I am unwilling to let this rest. I want you to find the Master for me, to find the Reincarnation Talisman, and even to find the truth. But even though the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo has been missing for tens of thousands of years, it is certainly not without its perils.

"Whether you are willing to go is your decision to make. What I have told you will not change."

"What’s there to fear about some danger?" the Mixed Element Child said, puffing out its chest. "Don’t you worry, kid. With me here, I’ll definitely keep you safe."

True Master Xu Chen rebuked, "Child, are you not aware of how many Primordial Spirit True Men from our Dharma Origin Sect went and never returned? How can you speak of keeping him safe?"

The Mixed Element Child flinched, then thought for a moment and added, "Then we’ll wait until Xu the Kid forges his Primordial Spirit. He’ll at least have the power to protect himself then."

True Master Xu Chen remained silent. ’In truth, my time is running out. I may not be able to wait until Xuzhuang forges his Primordial Spirit. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in such a hurry to entrust my wishes to the Mixed Element Child.’ He did not wish to voice this, lest it interfere with Xuzhuang’s choice.

Even so, Xuzhuang had his own suspicions, and in his heart, he felt that making the trip was not out of the question.

The Five Directions Five Elements Dojo was certainly shrouded in mystery and incredibly perilous. But it was also the place where the Pure Yang True Monarch—an ancient being hailed as an Immortal Venerable—had cultivated and preached his teachings. It was obvious what immense opportunities it must hold.

Even without the prospect of repaying True Master Xu Chen, had Xuzhuang merely heard of such a place, his curiosity would have been unbearable. Besides, it wasn’t as if he completely lacked the means to protect himself.

After a long moment of deep thought, Xuzhuang spoke up. "I am willing to go to the Five Directions Five Elements Dojo. However, I will need some time."

The Mixed Element Child pursed its lips. "How much time? Are you going to wait until you forge your Primordial Spirit?"

Xuzhuang gave a faint smile and said to True Master Xu Chen, "Zhenren, do you recall how I obtained the Sacrificial Refining Method for the Taiyi Rainbow Sword from you some time ago?"

A thought struck True Master Xu Chen. He asked, "Could it be...?"

"That’s right." Xuzhuang said with a cupped-fist salute, "I came to the Profound Ice Pavilion this time for the express purpose of requesting a Profoundly Refined Tribulation-Avoiding Ice Soul. I need it to help my Taiyi Rainbow Sword overcome its True Form Tribulation."

"Excellent!" True Master Xu Chen said, delighted. "If you succeed, then with the Taiyi Rainbow Sword and the Mixed Element Child at your side, you will have the means to protect yourself no matter what dangers you encounter.

"That will also ease the guilt in this old Taoist’s heart a great deal."
