.

Before advancing to the next stage, there was still one last thing he had to do, synchronize all the cores.

The Dao technique of Elemental Extremities was a very powerful cultivation method, not simply because it allowed a person to enhance their elemental affinity and create multiple cores in their body,

but rather because it let the user go one step further and unleash a power many times greater than normal thanks to these cores.

He could already rival anyone at his current stage, and now that he had reached the peak of the second stage, he was confident he could even overpower everyone in the next stage.

But that still wasn’t enough.

There was one last thing he had to do, and if he managed to pull it off,

then his strength would reach the level of someone in the early phases of the fourth stage.

Lately, he had focused on each individual core to bring them to the same level of power.

Now that he had achieved that goal, he could finally create a basic link between them.

Inside his dantian, the five glowing orbs of light began to radiate intensely as invisible threads started to emerge from them.

These threads, as if drawn by some invisible force, began to intertwine with one another.

Four threads extended from the fire core, linking to the other four cores,

then moved on to the next core, which did the same, and so on, until one by one all the cores had formed four connections with the others.

The cores were arranged in a circular formation, so once they had all finished connecting to one another, a star shaped formation appeared.

As soon as the threads completed the various connections with the other cores, they began to glow, and soon a strong fluctuation of elemental energy started radiating from the entire formation.

One by one, all the threads lit up, until the dantian that held everything within it began to show strange wavy lines, moving as if they had a will of their own.

Soon, these lines started to converge into strange symbols, runes by appearance, but not anything Zhu Rong had ever seen before.

These symbols formed an orbit around the dantian.

The growing elemental energy fluctuations that the formation had begun to emit were now being increasingly contained around the dantian, before being absorbed by that orbit formed by the various rune symbols.

As that happened, the symbols in the orbit started to glow faintly and soon began to slowly rotate around the dantian.

Sensing this, Zhu Rong let out a breath of relief and wiped the sweat that had formed on his forehead.

Even though his body was full of energy, his mind was tired, he had had to use a lot of mental energy to carefully execute the formation step by step and then suppress the elemental energy it released,

thus successfully completing the first part of the Elemental Extremities Dao Technique.

This part of the technique had a total of three stages, or formations,

and each required a certain number of cores to be executed.

He had only completed the first formation, but even that alone was more than enough for his current self.

Now that the formation was fully in place, he could unleash much more power than before, and this would only increase now that his cores were synchronized.

Now he could manage the elemental energy of all elements more efficiently, allowing it to flow between them.

He could mix it to create different types of attacks,

or converge it all into a single core from the others to enhance the power of a specific ability.

And these were only some of the many uses of such a formation.

The benefits of even just the first formation were excellent, and they would only increase as he created the other two.

In his previous life, he had never managed to bring all his cores to the fifth stage, let alone form enough to create a formation.

But now it was different.

He had succeeded in all this, and he was only at the beginning of his journey.

He wondered just how far he’d be able to push himself in this life.

The day of the expedition was drawing near, only two days left until the departure of the mercenary team hired by the Yao family.

They had made all preparations carefully and quietly to avoid raising suspicion among the other families, and now they were almost fully ready to depart.

Unbeknownst to them, though, someone had already beaten them to it and arrived ahead of time.

That someone was none other than Zhu Rong.

He had originally planned to infiltrate the mercenary group, but found that the other side was more cautious than he expected, having not recruited any new escorts in the past month.

Had they done so, he would’ve had the chance to sneak in as a newcomer, but that wasn’t the case.

Not that it mattered. There were plenty of methods, what was lacking was time.

From what he remembered, the Yao family weren’t the only ones who had their eyes on it.

There was another family, less well known, that had remained silent, flying under everyone’s radar for a long time.

One that not only managed to successfully seize control of the mine by defeating the Yao family, but also rose to power at record speed.

Their rise, and the Yao family’s sudden downfall, had always been suspicious.

But no one ever found anything, not after the Yun family rose up to a level of power high enough to suppress the already declining strength of the other families.

Zhu Rong was certain their sudden rise was linked to the mine, so he wasted no time and decided to arrive before the Yao family’s scheduled expedition.

"Just as I thought, they’re already here," he murmured, hidden among the branches of a tall tree as he looked toward the large group that had already gathered in front of the mine’s entrance.

He suppressed his cultivation to avoid alerting the other side, and with his high level of Qi control, it was a simple thing to do.

Standing on a tree branch, hidden from sight by the surrounding leaves, he observed everyone present like a hawk.

The group was large, and at a glance, it looked to be at least fifty people.

They all wore brown cloaks, and only the figure at the head of the group had his hood down, seemingly speaking to the rest.

Zhu Rong narrowed his eyes, immediately recognizing who the man was,

He was the firstborn of the Yun family,

Yǔn Hào

The future patriarch of the Yun family.
