Chapter 108 – Remodeling the Roots, Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Body Out (14,000 Words)

Chapter 108 – Remodeling the Roots, Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body Out (14000 Words)
“You this ……”

The expressions of both Xia Shuangming and Shao Dongning were stunned at the same time.

No matter how they thought about it, they had never thought that Chen Fan’s increase in enlightenment this time was actually because of them.

Hopefully, the two of us, have become your tool people, right?

The gazes of the two of them strangely sized up Chen Fan’s body.

Gaining an increase in enlightenment because of vanity being satisfied, this was not something they were unaware of.

Even they, themselves, had experienced such a thing.

This kind of thing is very common.

It’s just that all people can’t manage to grow in enlightenment every time their vanity is satisfied.

Otherwise, in this world, wouldn’t everyone become a genius?

But Chen Fan clearly had some specialties in this area.

And it was still a special specialty.

Could the reason be that he came from a small place?

Xia Shuangming’s heart moved slightly.

Thinking about whether this could be the reason that the place where Chen Fan used to be was too small and his vanity hadn’t been satisfied much.

That’s why he was like this now once he was stimulated.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly realized that the white bead held in Chen Fan’s hand, the light that blossomed from it, had become a bit more intense.

Seeing this scene, his face instantly stiffened.

There’s no end to this, is there?
I am indeed more shocked right now.

But for you to see me shocked at your talent in front of me, and then for you to crunch in your heart and have your enlightenment rub off on you, isn’t that a bit excessive?

“Senior, I won’t take this.”

Chen Fan even handed the bead in his hand, back to Xia Shuangming.

As his own enlightenment grew, so did he.

But to be like this in front of his own master, his kind of behavior, really wasn’t too good.

It’s just that this kind of mental coolness is something that really can’t be controlled ah.

Thinking about it, he duly revealed a blush.

It really can’t be helped!

He was such a vain person!
This was also something he had only completely realized about his true nature after cultivating the True Nature Tongda Gong.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one who was vain.

Almost everyone, had a vain heart.

It was just that he had drastically increased the chances of his enlightenment being able to rise when his vanity was satisfied with the enchantment of his little wish.

In addition, before practicing the True Nature Tongda Technique, he would feel good at times like this, but it wouldn’t be like this.

The reason why he was like this now, on the other hand, was that a technique like the True Nature Tongda Gong, which could increase a cultivator’s enlightenment, was, in a way, able to amplify all the coolness that a cultivator could feel.

Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want that kind of coolness.

Just block it out directly.

But after blocking it out, it would be impossible to grow enlightenment again.

“Alright.”

Xia Shuangming put the beads away.

He wasn’t even going to give it to Chen Fan again in the future.

Especially if he was present.

He was too old to take it!
“In your case, there is something special.”

After pondering for a while, Xia Shuangming spoke, “Under normal circumstances, this won’t occur in your case, but this is a good thing, now it depends on how long it can last.”

Chen Fan was now able to grow his own enlightenment though his vanity was satisfied.

But this situation, obviously, could not last forever.

Once or twice was no problem.

But for a long time, Chen Fan’s tolerance in this regard would inevitably increase.

At that time, it would not be so easy for Chen Fan to use this method to enhance his enlightenment.

Or rather, by that time, Chen Fan would have to satisfy his greater vanity in order to raise his enlightenment.

“Next I’m going to go to the Five Planets Domain to set up a formation, and this time, it might take ten days to complete the formation, so there’s no use for you to come with me now.”

“How about this, I’ll make some arrangements for you, three days later, you’ll take the Three Mountain Dao Academy’s flying boat bound for the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, and then just come down at the Five Planets Domain.”

Xia Explanation said with a flickering gaze.

He wanted to lay down the Yin Yang Two-Yeas Formation, and it would indeed take him ten days to complete it.

However, the main thing was that Chen Fan was now, clearly in a period of rapid growth in enlightenment.

At this time, he might delay Chen Fan by bringing him around all the time.

Therefore, he was prepared to let Chen Fan travel to the Five Planets Domain alone.

As for something going wrong ……

There was absolutely no need to worry about this.

Traveling on the Three Mountains Daoist Academy’s flying boat was just safer than him taking Chen Fan to the Five Planets Domain.

Moreover, the main thing was that this time, the flying boat of the Three Mountain Dao Domain traveling to the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain was taking mainly the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples of the various sects of the Three Mountain Dao Domain.

There were many sects in the Three Mountain Dao Domain.

Among these sects, they, the Dongxuan Sect, were undoubtedly one of the most powerful sects.

In this situation, Chen Fan, as a disciple of the East Xuan Sect, and also a prospective True Transmitter of the East Xuan Sect, had a sense of superiority in his status.

And with a vanity like Chen Fan’s ……

During the flying boat’s journey all the way forward, wouldn’t he have exploded with pleasure?

“Then I’ll send Junior Brother back again?”

Shao Dongning said from the side.

“Go ahead.”

Xia Shuangming nodded, “After the delivery, you’ll come back and go to the Five Planets Domain with me.”

“Good!”

Shao Dongning nodded.

Next, Xia Shuangming was going to head to the Five Planets Realm to lay down the Yin Yang Two-Yeas Formation.

This process of laying the formation, with Chen Fan’s realm, there was no point in watching it.

But it was still of no small benefit to him.

Thus, he quickly sent Chen Fan back to his residence again after agreeing to do so.

And in this process, Xia Shuangming also helped Chen Fan, applying for the qualification to ride the flying boat of the Three Mountains Daoist Academy three days later.

At that time, he would be able to leave on the Three Mountains Daoist Academy’s flying boat together with some of the disciples of the Dongxuan Sect.

……

“Three days later?”

Returning to his residence, Chen Fan was helpless, but he could only wait for three days before departing on the Three Mountains Daoist Academy’s flying boat.

It was said that this time, the Three Mountain Dao Academy’s flying boat was mainly intended to transport a group of talented Foundation Establishment Stage disciples from various sects to a blessed land of creation in the Ancient Desolate Dao Region.

That blessed land of creation was capable of condensing a Foundation Establishment Fruit.

After taking it, Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators could quickly comprehend all sorts of Law Mysteries.

Normally, by eating just one Foundation Establishment Fruit, an Immortal Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage would be able to raise his cultivation level by one small step.

However, everyone could only eat one Foundation Establishment Fruit, and eating more would be useless.

Chen Fan was also a bit foolish after hearing this news.

It was only a pity that he was about to head to the Five Planets Domain to reshape his own foundation, and it was already too late in time for him to head to that blessed place of creation.

“With these few days left, let’s try refining weapons.”

“I think it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to refine a spirit weapon in three days, but if I only aim for a magic weapon, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

Chen Fan’s mind moved slightly.

He then walked out of the cultivation room and went to his own exclusive refining room.

……

Three days later.

A flying boat engraved with the three big characters of the Dongxuan Sect received one disciple after another, as it traveled in a circle between the peaks where a group of quasi-true disciples were located.

This time, the Dongxuan Sect had a total of eleven Quasi True Transmission disciples, as well as dozens of top Inner Sect Foundation Establishment Stage disciples, who would be traveling to the Ancient Desolate Dao Region to participate in the Foundation Establishment Fruit Competition.

There were a total of dozens of Quasi-True Successors from the Dongxuan Sect.

But among these dozens of people, there were some who had already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection and didn’t need to participate in this kind of competition.

There were also some that were about to break through to Foundation Establishment Perfection in their cultivation and similarly did not need to travel to the Ancient Desolate Dao Region.

Among the remaining disciples, some had other things to attend to and were also unable to travel, so in the end, only eleven people were prepared to travel to the Ancient Desolate Dao Region.

“Whoosh!”

When the flying boat arrived in front of Chen Fan’s mountain peak, with a flash of his body, Chen Fan performed the Wind Sentry Technique and flew onto the flying boat.

On top of the flying boat, a disciple of the Dongxuan Sect, after seeing him, his face flashed with a strange color.

These days, Chen Fan had become a household name in the East Xuan Sect.

Especially the lower ranked disciples, there was almost no one who did not know him.

“Chen Fan!”

Among the crowd, a stout youth, seeing Chen Fan, looked puzzled, “Why did you come here?”

Chen Fan swept a glance at the man and realized that it was actually Lan Jiping.

With a snort, he walked to a corner and stood at the edge of the flying boat, looking out over the scenery of the Dongxuan Sect.

Seeing this scene, one of the surrounding disciples of the Dongxuan Sect, their expressions all varied.

“Nima!”

As for Lan Ji Ping, when he saw that Chen Fan actually didn’t even pay attention to himself, his face suddenly became fierce.

But in such an occasion, he could only stare at Chen Fan to death without being able to do anything.

“Too absolute!”

“Lan Jiping is afraid that he will be infuriated to death this time!”

“Haha, look at his expression, as if he wants to eat Chen Fan up.”

“It’s a pity that he lost when he became a king!”

Some of the disciples, transmitted their voices to each other and discussed.

Especially some inner disciples.

Many of these inner disciples had been bullied by Lan Zhiping.

Now that they saw him suffer, their hearts all burst with great joy.

Although it wasn’t them personally getting revenge back, it made them feel good all the same.

There was even a disciple who, at this moment, the merit imprint that could increase enlightenment that was branded deep within his soul flickered slightly.

“There should be a few more disciples like Chen Fan in the Dongxuan Sect who can teach Lan Ji Ping a lesson!”

In here, there were even a few quasi-true disciples who looked at Lan Ji Ping with disdain, but were no match for him, and looked at Lan Ji Ping with a burst of dark pleasure.

“Whoosh!”

And just as the crowd had different thoughts, the flying boat they were traveling in, with a flash of green light, flew towards the outside of the Dongxuan Sect.

“Boom!”

Then, not long after the Dongxuan Sect’s flying boat, arrived outside, an even larger flying boat, flew out of the void and landed in front of the Dongxuan Sect’s gate.

“Three Mountain Dao Academy!”

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered as he looked at the words Three Mountains Dao Academy engraved on top of this flying boat.

The Three Mountain Dao Academy was the master of the Three Mountain Dao Domain.

The head of the Dao Academy was also none other than that Dao Zun level master of the East Xuan Sect Patriarch.

Moreover, there was not a single weakling in the entire Three Mountain Dao Academy.

Immortal cultivators had to reach at least the God Transformation Stage before they could join the Three Mountains Dao Academy.

“I wonder how long I’ll have to be before I can reach the God Transformation Stage!”

A hint of anticipation flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.

“Senior Brother Fei, this time, you are actually the one who personally sent them to the Ancient Desolate Dao Region.”

As this flying boat descended, the Immortal cultivator who was controlling this flying boat that Chen Fan was in, with a twitch of his expression, looked towards the person standing on the flying boat of the Three Mountain Dao Academy.

“I happen to be going to the Ancient Desolate Dao Region for some business, so I have claimed this mission.”

Standing on the Three Mountain Dao Academy’s flying boat was a youthful looking Immortal Cultivator, and upon hearing the inquiry, he calmly nodded his head.

“It’s actually Senior Brother Fei Yinglong!”

“I’ve heard of this one, he joined the Three Mountains Dao Academy from our Dongxuan Sect, it’s been over two thousand years, right?”

“It’s been two thousand years!”

“I’ve heard that right now, Senior Fei Yinglong is amongst the top three disciples in the entire Three Mountains Dao Academy.”

“And its also entered the Outer Realm Battlefield many times, and in the Outer Realm Battlefield, he has made great achievements.”

On the flying boat, the crowd of disciples from the Dongxuan Sect looked at the person on the flying boat of the Three Mountain Dao Academy, and admiration flashed in their eyes.

A genius like Fei Yinglong, for them, could only be looked up to.

None of the dozen or so Dongxuan Sect’s quasi-true disciples on the flying boat were confident that they would be able to surpass Fei Yinglong in the future.

One must know that the Fei Yinglong at the time had joined the Three Mountain Dao Region as the number one of the four sects.

No one knew to what extent Fei Yinglong’s strength had risen to now.

In the midst of the discussion, a figure, one after another, landed on the Three Mountain Dao Domain’s flying boat from the Dongxuan Sect’s flying boat.

It was different from this flying boat from the Dongxuan Sect.

Not only did this flying boat of the Three Mountain Dao Domain look large on the outside, there was a huge space inside.

After the disciples of the Dongxuan Sect boarded the Three Mountain Dao Domain’s flying boat, they realized that there were already many people on this flying boat.

These people were all disciples from one of the large and small sects in the Three Mountain Dao Domain.

Seeing Chen Fan and the others coming in from outside the flying boat, many of these people revealed envious looks.

For the disciples of other sects, the disciples of the four major sects of the Three Mountain Dao Domain were all unattainable.

Especially this time, most of the disciples from the four great sects participating in the Foundation Establishment Fruit competition were geniuses from each sect.

“North Xuan Sect, South Xuan Sect, West Xuan Sect ……”

After entering the interior of the flying boat, Chen Fan’s gaze swept over some people and saw disciples wearing the standardized vestments of each sect.

Among them, the disciples of the North Xuan Sect and the other three major sects were particularly eye-catching.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s complexion stared as he landed his gaze on a person among the disciples of the North Xuan Sect.

That person, just like him, was not wearing the standardized vestments even though he was standing with the Bei Xuan Sect disciples.

However, this was not the point.

The point was that this person was clearly Shi Wenzhao whom he had met once in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World!
Chen Fan’s gaze flickered.

When he was in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Realm earlier, he knew that Shi Wenzhao was lost.

At that time, the Foundation Establishment Immortal Cultivator from Bibo Island had even asked him about Shi Wenzhao’s whereabouts.

However, he had only seen Shi Wenzhao once in the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain.

After that, Shi Wenzhao had never appeared again.

But how could he not have expected that Shi Wenzhao had actually come to the Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation Realm as well?

And by the looks of it, it seemed like he had even joined the Northern Xuan Sect.

“Brother Chen, goodbye.”

Shi Wenzhao smiled and extended his hand to greet Chen Fan.

Chen Fan’s expression paused.

He then walked over with a smile.

At the same time, Shi Wenzhao also walked out from the disciples of the North Xuan Sect and gathered with him.

Around them, a single gaze fell on the two.

Especially the disciples of the East Xuan Sect, and the disciples of the North Xuan Sect.

The disciples of the East Xuan Sect basically knew where Chen Fan came from.

After Chen Fan defeated Lan Jiping, the matter about him walking out of the great tomb in the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain spread in the East Xuan Sect.

On the other hand, the disciples of the North Xuan Sect were similarly aware of Shi Wenzhao’s origin.

It was known that Shi Wenzhao was a genius that their Patriarch had personally brought into the sect.

After Shi Wenzhao entered the North Xuan Sect, in a short period of time, there was a disciple who challenged him, only to be defeated by him one by one.

Even amongst the disciples who challenged him, one of them was a Quasi-True Legend at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm.

“Brother Shi, I really didn’t expect that we would actually meet here.”

After Chen Fan and Shi Wenzhao gathered together, their hearts moved and they transmitted their voices.

“For that, I did expect it.”

Shi Wenzhao shook his head, “That day when you, Brother Chen, were blocked by that Jindan of the Underworld Dharma Sect in the middle of the Foundation Establishment Mound Domain, I saw it all, it’s just a pity that at that time, all I could do was only to protect myself, and I couldn’t come to my aid.”

“Luckily, Brother Chen’s good fortune has been blessed, not only did he walk out of the Foundation Building Mound Domain, but he also gained a great fortune.”

“Brother Shi was there at that time?”

Chen Fan’s heart was shocked at his words.

“I was in the Foundation Building Mound Domain, only that I used some special means at that time and was unable to move, only that I followed Chen Fan when he was teleported over.” Shi Wenzhao explained.

Being able to run into Chen Fan in a foreign land made his heart burst with surprise.

Previously, he had thought that if he wanted to meet Chen Fan again, he might have to wait until a long time later.

However, he did not expect that just after such a long time, he and Chen Fan had come across each other.

“So that’s how it is!”

Chen Fan’s heart moved slightly.

However, he did not inquire as to what means Shi Wenzhao had used.

“Brother Shi came over this time, he also wants to go and compete for the Foundation Establishment Fruit?”

Chen Fan inquired.

“I do want the Foundation Establishment Fruit, but unfortunately it’s too late, I’m just taking the Three Mountain Daoist Academy’s flying boat this time, and I’ll go down when I reach the Silent Starfield.”

“When I broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was a problem with the Root Divine Power that I cultivated, and this time, when I went to the Silent Star Region, it was the sect that arranged for me to go there and reshape my foundation there.”

Shi Wenzhao shook his head.

However, words were said, but in reality, he wasn’t going to reshape his roots.

Rather, he was preparing to cultivate another root divine ability in the Silent Star Region.

According to that Patriarch of theirs, with his talent, it was a bit too much of a waste to only cultivate one Black Lotus Turning Wheel Technique.

“Such a coincidence?”

Chen Fan was stunned at his words, “I am also traveling on the Three Mountain Daoist Academy’s flying boat, but the place where I disembarked the flying boat was the Five Planets Domain.”

“Also like you, I was also arranged by the sect to go to the Five Planets Domain to reshape my roots.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Wenzhao raised his eyebrows.

He hadn’t thought that Chen Fan was actually so highly regarded in the Dongxuan Sect as well.

According to what he had inquired about, a few Immortal Cultivators with Yin Yang Immortal Bodies had also appeared in the Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivation World over the years.

However, these Immortal Cultivators with Yin Yang Immortal Bodies had all blown themselves up and died before they could develop all of their Yin Yang Immortal Bodies.

It was right to harmonize yin and yang.

But the threat posed by its imbalance, once it was out of balance, was just as great.

Under such circumstances, Chen Fan was still valued so highly by the East Xuan Sect, causing him to be surprised for a moment.

“Senior Brother Shi.”

Just at this moment, a figure walked over.

Chen Fan turned his head and realized that it was actually Fei Yinglong.

“Senior Brother Fei.”

Seeing the visitor, Shi Wenzhao even saluted him.

“As I said, there’s no need to be so polite with me.”

Fei Yinglong said with a smile.

Previously, when he was picking up Shi Wenzhao, the Northern Xuan Sect Patriarch, had already spoken with him about Shi Wenzhao’s situation.

Thus, he knew how high the potential of the man in front of him was.

Even if he was the current top three ranked disciple of the Three Mountain Dao Academy, he could not compare to Shi Wenzhao in terms of potential.

The fusion of the innate spiritual root ……

Moreover, its fusion was still an innate spiritual root like the Silent Black Lotus.

Once upon a time, he had read about the Silent Black Lotus in an ancient book.

In that ancient book, it was clearly written that the Silent Black Lotus could last three days and three nights under a Daolord before it had even become a Daolord at that time.

And in the end, it was unknown what means it had utilized to escape.

He couldn’t imagine how many good deeds Shi Wenzhao had done in his past life to obtain such a creation.

“This one is?”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Chen Fan.

“Senior Fei, my name is Chen Fan, a disciple of the East Xuan Sect, and I come from the same place as Brother Shi.”

Chen Fan explained.

Fei Yinglong nodded slightly.

Chen Fan was not wearing the East Xuan Sect’s standard disciple vestments, so he recognized at a glance that Chen Fan should be a quasi-true disciple of the East Xuan Sect.

However, not to mention a single East Xuan Sect Quasi True Transmission disciple, even ten East Xuan Sect Quasi True Transmission disciples would not be able to compare to a single Shi Wenzhao.

Thus, when he nodded, he smiled and said, ”Fellow countryman? Then you must strike a good relationship with Senior Brother Shi, his potential is something that even I cannot match.”

He used to come from the Dong Xuan Sect as well, and this was considered a mention of Chen Fan.

“Where.”

Hearing this, Shi Wenzhao hurriedly said, “If Senior Fei is able to come this far, how could his potential be inferior to mine.”

“Also Brother Chen’s talent is just as not weak, what he has awakened is the Yin Yang Immortal Body, under the same rank, I may not be his opponent.”

“Yin Yang Immortal Body?”

Fei Yinglong was stunned.

He looked at Chen Fan with some surprise.

But following that, he felt a pang of pity.

The Yin Yang Immortal Body was very strong.

He had once met a Yin Yang Immortal Body possessor of the same rank as himself before.

Its strength was so strong that it was simply beyond his reach.

It was just a pity that after he had met that person once, it hadn’t been long before that person blew himself up and died.

Possessors of the Yin Yang Immortal Body were not destined to go far.

However, Chen Fan was his senior brother after all, so he was not in a good position to strike Chen Fan, so he only smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that Senior Brother Chen actually awakened a Yin Yang Immortal Body, this kind of physique, once developed, is ridiculously strong.”

“Senior brother is overpraised.”

Chen Fan had a calm expression.

He was able to tell that Fei Yinglong had befriended Shi Wenzhao.

This caused him to be a little surprised, and he wondered how Shi Wenzhao did it.

However, he had no thoughts of jealousy.

The current him already had everything he should have.

Next, as long as he continued to cultivate step by step, he would be able to grow up quickly.

“Alright, you guys talk amongst yourselves, I’m here and you guys feel constrained.”

Then, Fei Yinglong said a few more words with Shi Wenzhao before excusing himself and leaving.

Although he was the one leading the team this time.

But the fact was, maneuvering the flying boat did not require him to do so.

He only needed to step in and kill some demonic beasts, or evil creatures that the flying boat could not withstand when he encountered them during its journey.

“Brother Chen, let’s talk over here?”

After Fei Yinglong left, Shi Wenzhao pointed to a table in a far corner.

The Three Mountains Daoist Academy’s flying boat was immense.

And it was also very smooth.

At this moment, the flying boat had already taken off, but they were inside the flying boat and he couldn’t feel it at all.

“Good!”

Chen Fan nodded, then he joined Shi Wenzhao and went to the table in the corner and chatted with each other.

“Who are those two people?”

Someone in the flying boat asked curiously.

To be able to speak with Fei Yinglong, and it looked like Fei Yinglong was still so kind to the two, especially to Shi Wenzhao, was definitely not simple.

“I’ve asked around, the person from the North Xuan Sect is called Shi Wenzhao, I heard that this person was personally brought back to the sect by the North Xuan Sect’s Patriarch, his talent is outstanding, he actually fused an Innate Spiritual Root, it’s simply heaven-defying!”

“Innate Spirit Root?”

“You haven’t inquired wrongly, have you?”

“How is this possible?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask around yourself, the disciples of the North Xuan Sect all say so anyway.”

“What about the other one? The other one should only know that Shi Wenzhao to be able to talk to Senior Fei, right?”

“The other one isn’t simple either, according to the disciples of the East Xuan Sect, this person has awakened a Yin Yang Immortal Body, and he also possesses the five elemental spiritual roots, it’s simply absolute, he really has all the benefits.”

“Yin Yang Immortal Body? Five elemental spiritual roots? F*ck, there’s still this kind of person in this world?”

“That’s why it’s absolute!”

“It’s just a pity that the Yin Yang Immortal Body is strong, but it won’t live long, and I don’t know if this one, can break this forbidden spell.”

“Difficult! Throughout history, the few Yin Yang Immortal Body possessors that have appeared, which one is not an outstanding talent, but as a result, none of them can break this spell.”

In the corner, Chen Fan was able to feel the gazes of some people looking at him as he chatted with Shi Wenzhao.

It was just that unlike in the past, this time he was somewhat unhappy.

This was because he knew that many of these people were looking at him because Fei Yinglong had spoken to him earlier.

And the reason why Fei Yinglong spoke to him was because of Shi Wenzhao.

Therefore many of these people looked at themselves in passing.

At the same time he also saw pity in the eyes of some.

In this situation, he couldn’t feel good even if he consoled himself.

But it was not like Shi Wenzhao and Fei Yinglong were to blame for this.

One could only say that it was a coincidence.

Then, he chatted with Shi Wenzhao, one moment about Tiannan, and the other about the Tianyuan Cultivation World.

The two of them had come from the same place and naturally felt a sense of affinity.

“Hm?”

Just as the two of them hadn’t been chatting for long, Chen Fan’s heart stirred and he looked towards the inner wall of the flying boat.

Then he saw that as the Three Mountain Daoist Academy’s flying boat disappeared into the void, the inside of the flying boat suddenly flashed with a burst of light.

Then, various scenes in the void were reflected.

“It’s the Manifestation Array.”

Chen Fan’s heart moved slightly.

……

The flying boat of the Three Mountain Daoist Academy was constantly traveling through the void.

It was obviously very far from the Three Mountain Dao Domain to the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, not something that could be reached in a day or two.

Even the five planetary domains that they passed through on the way would take several days to arrive.

Rumble!
And just as Chen Fan waited, after five days had passed in a row, accompanied by a heavy rumbling sound, the Three Mountain Dao Academy’s flying boat, suddenly flew out of the void.

“Has it arrived?”

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan’s heart perked up.

Through the manifestation formation of the flying boat, he suddenly realized that he had arrived in the middle of a starry sky at this moment.

Especially in the distance, five huge stars that were slowly rotating could be clearly seen.

These five stars, respectively, showed the five colors of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow.

Unsurprisingly, it was the Five Planets Domain’s Five Elements Great Star.

“Senior brother Chen, your senior brother has come to pick you up, so I’ll send you here.”

Fei Yinglong walked over and spoke.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Fei.”

Chen Fan even spoke.

“You are welcome.”

Fei Yinglong waved his hand.

“Godspeed.”

Shi Wenzhao smiled and rushed at Chen Fan.

“Godspeed.”

Chen Fan also spoke.

However, he did not give Shi Wenzhao his little wish for today.

For an enlightened person like Shi Wenzhao, there was no need for him to help.

In the past few days, he had not only chatted with Shi Wenzhao, but he had also gotten to know some other people again.

These included a few quasi-true legends in the Dongxuan Sect.

And from these people, he already knew just how perverse Shi Wenzhao was.

Innate Spiritual Root!

When he learned that the black lotus that the original Shi Wenzhao, over in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Realm, had fused with the Tianhua Spirit Ascension Technique was actually an Innate Spiritual Root, he was envious for a moment.

In this world, there were actually people with such luck, simply.

Of course, he who had obtained the Wish Pearl seemed to be a little bit stronger.

……

“Senior brother, how does it feel to come all the way here?”

After Chen Fan stepped out from the flying boat of the Three Mountains Daoist Academy, he saw Shao Dongning who was riding his flying boat and standing in the void.

Shao Dongning looked at Chen Fan with a smile.

He was aware of his own master’s arrangement.

He just didn’t know how much Chen Fan’s enlightenment had grown in these days.

“Average.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

At this time, he also guessed the reason why that master of his had asked him to come over on the Three Mountains Daoist Academy flying boat.

“What’s going on? Have you already adapted to this level of vanity?”

Shao Dongning was stunned at his words.

“That’s not …… it.”

Chen Fan shook his head and told Shao Dongning about Shi Wenzhao.

“There is actually such a person!”

“This luck is too good, isn’t it?”

Hearing Chen Fan’s words, Shao Dongning was stunned for a moment.

And then, he felt sympathy for what happened to Chen Fan.

Facing this kind of son of heavenly destiny, no matter who else it was, he would have to be compared to him.

Chen Fan did not say anything.

Because in these few days, apart from the fact that his enlightenment did not grow much in the beginning, Chen Fan did not say anything.

Subsequently, as soon as he compared Shi Wenzhao’s luck with his own, with a secret pleasure in his heart, the growth rate of enlightenment increased again.

Although it wasn’t too much.

But it was also better than directly wishing for an increase in enlightenment.

“Alright.”

“If we can’t compete, then we don’t compete, next time let’s stay away from that kind of Heavenly Fate.”

“With senior brother’s talent, although your cultivation speed is not as fast as that one at this stage, your achievements in the future may not be worse.”

“Especially …… if Senior Brother you are able to condense the Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body ……”

Speaking here, Shao Dongning gave a slight beat.

“Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body?”

Chen Fan looked at Shao Dongning in surprise, he had never heard of this kind of physique before.

“This is a legendary physique in the Immortal Cultivation World, it only exists in legends and has never appeared, so I’m just saying that.”

Shao Dongning explained.

He also told Chen Fan the information about the Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body in detail.

After that, he once again said, “Of course, if afterward, after you, Senior Brother, have completed the cultivation of the two root divine abilities under the Yin-Yang Two-Element Formation, if you still have time left, you can try it out.”

“However, don’t force yourself, once you do, you may fall into demonic bewilderment, which will be detrimental to your future cultivation!”

Shao Dongning said solemnly.

“Don’t worry senior brother, I will definitely give it a try when I have the chance, in addition I won’t force it.”

Chen Fan nodded.

However, while saying so, a trace of excitement surged in his heart.

He had never thought that in the Immortal Cultivation World, there was actually such a physique.

If it was someone else, he probably wouldn’t have thought much about it.

But he was enlightened!
With the Wish Pearl in his hand, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t get this kind of physique.

And even if he couldn’t get it now, he would definitely have the chance later.

“Whoosh!”

While Chen Fan was thinking like this, Shao Dongning quickly led him and arrived at the Great Star of the Five Elements in front of him and met Xia Shuangming.

After meeting Xia Shuangming, Xia Shuangming solemnly instructed him on the precautions to be taken when remodeling his foundation, and then let Shao Dongning send him to the core of the Five Elements Great Star.

“It’s starting!”

Xia Shuangming stood in the vast and boundless void.

He held a formation flag tightly in his hand, and on top of the flag’s surface, the yin and yang fish pattern was lifelike, flowing with arcane and unfathomable light.

This was the main formation flag of the Yin Yang Two-Yeas Formation.

As for the other secondary formation flags, they had all been placed in various locations of the Five Planets Domain in the past ten days.

“Rise!”

In the next second, as Xia Shuangming’s mind moved and the formation flag waved, a layer of subtle fluctuations swirled in the void.

These fluctuations spread rapidly, transforming into a subtle formation pattern, which intertwined and entwined with each other like a huge net, enveloping the entire Five Planets Domain.

The five slowly rotating five elemental stars seemed to have sensed the power of the formation at this moment as well, their light flickering on and off as if they were echoing the rhythm of the formation.

As the array pattern continued to spread, the five great stars were gradually enveloped in a huge Yin-Yang Two-Element Formation.

Within this formation, the two qi of yin and yang intertwined and flowed, forming a mysterious pattern.

These patterns were either black or white, bright or dark, each of them opposing each other, yet harmonizing and natural, while still being in a constant state of change, as if they contained endless heaven and earth truths.

Xia Shuangming was in the formation, his mind moved at will, the formation flag waved again, and immediately the yin and yang qi in the formation began to accelerate its flow.

Only to see the light of the five big stars also became more brilliant, as if they were activated.

The endless power of the five elements began to intertwine and converge with the two qi of yin and yang.

At this moment, it was as if the five planetary domains had returned to the state of the beginning of the heavens and earth, and everything was full of unknowns and possibilities.

In particular, the very core of the area received a breath that became even more chaotic.

“Is this the power of the five elements of yin and yang?”

Xia Shuangming stood in the void.

He held the main formation flag of the Yin-Yang Two-Elements Formation in his hand, feeling the terrifying power contained in the formation, and his expression moved.

This power was too incredible!
When the five elements of yin and yang intersected, this power that arose as if it was the beginning of chaos, even he felt shocked.

“If Chen Fan is able to unite the five elements of Yin and Yang ……”

Xia Shuangming’s expression moved slightly.

But immediately afterward, he shook his head.

This was something that was absolutely impossible!

Immortal cultivators were only able to use the power of formations, or through other means, to briefly fuse the power of yin and yang and the five elements together.

To perfectly fuse these two powers, in a single person, was impossible no matter what!
“Yin and Yang fusing the five elements cannot be done, but I don’t know if this disciple of mine, who wants to build two top-notch root divine abilities, can do it.”

With this thought, his mind moved, and he looked towards Chen Fan, who was located in the center of the five five elemental stars.

Only to see that at this moment, at the core of the five elemental great star, Chen Fan had already sat down on his knees and closed his eyes amidst a chaotic aura intertwined by the two qi of yin and yang, fused with the power of the five elements.

“The two root divine abilities, whether you can cultivate them or not depends on your fortune!”

Xia Shuangming muttered a self-sentence.

Being able to cultivate a top root divine ability was exclusive to the top geniuses of the Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivation World.

For example, the root divine ability he had cultivated in the first place was not a top root divine ability.

Shao Dongning cultivated a root divine ability that was a little better than him, but it was likewise not top-notch.

As for geniuses who cultivated two top root divine abilities, in the entire Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivation Realm, they were few and far between, like a phoenix feather.

Thinking of these, with another movement of his mind, he manipulated the Yin-Yang Two-Yi Grand Formation in the void not far away, unifying all things and opening up a place of creation where the wind and clouds converged.

This one location was exactly where Shao Dongning was.

“Coming?”

Shao Dongning, who was standing in the void, felt the changes in his surroundings, and his heart and mind fluttered.

He then instantly comprehended the arcane mysteries of the laws related to his Wind Cloud Dao Body with the assistance of the formation.

“Whether or not you can make it depends on yourselves!”

After Xia Shuangming had done this, he closed his eyes slightly and enumerated the various changes in the Yin Yang Two-Embodied Array.

Wanting to use this kind of enlightenment to balance the various laws that he himself had comprehended.

This was a five-win situation that was achieved with the help of Chen Fan.

Among them, the three of them, master and disciple, occupied three wins.

……

Chen Fan was seated at the core of the five great five elemental stars.

This was the place where the two qi of yin and yang intersected with the power of the five elements most intensely, and it was also the source from which the chaotic aura was derived.

He was wrapped in the countless yin and yang, the five elements, as well as those initial auras of chaos that had just been derived, and his expression was focused as if he was isolated from the outside world, devoting himself to his cultivation.

“Yin Yang Soaring Scripture!”

“Five Elements True Realm Technique!”

He chose to cultivate these two root divine abilities first.

To him, remodeling his own foundation was the most important thing.

Only after reshaping his foundation could he catch up with the others.

It wasn’t as if there was such a large gap between him and the others in terms of mana.

As for allowing the Yin Yang Immortal Body to accommodate the five elements and form the Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body, he could only let nature take its course.

Just as Shao Dongning had explained himself, this was an example that had not existed since ancient times, and once one forced it, it was possible to fall into a demonic daze.

Moreover, wanting the Yin Yang Immortal Body to accommodate the five elements was also something that was completely dependent on luck.

After all, no one knew how to do this kind of thing successfully.

“I make a wish that my speed of comprehending the Yin Yang Ascension Sutra today will be maximized!”

“I make a wish that my enlightenment will be boosted to the limit within three seconds!”

With a single thought, Chen Fan used his two small wishes for today in a row.

Then, he placed his entire mind on the Yin Yang Soaring Scripture.

The two root divine abilities, he had to cultivate them one by one before he could do so.

As Chen Fan’s mind was immersed, the wonders of the Yin Yang Soaring Scripture began to present themselves in his mind little by little.

The core of this divine ability lay in the extreme understanding and utilization of the two qi of yin and yang, and once one succeeded in cultivating it, one would be able to transform into yin and yang and evolve endless subtleties.

With Chen Fan’s wish boost, his enlightenment instantly reached an unprecedented height.

The esoteric aspects of the Yin Yang Ascension Scripture were gradually revealed in his mind as if they were being extracted from a cocoon.

Time passed day by day.

One day, two days, three days ……

When ten days had passed in a row, the yin and yang qi that lingered around Chen Fan’s body finally began to undergo subtle changes.

As if they had been summoned by some sort of call, they began to slowly rotate around Chen Fan’s body, forming a huge yin and yang vortex.

In this vortex, the two qi of yin and yang mingled and collided with each other, releasing amazing energy fluctuations.

At a certain moment, it was as if a boom resounded within Chen Fan’s body.

At the same time, around the well of the Immortal Foundation in his dantian, there was suddenly an additional Yin-Yang Diagram made up of countless Yin-Yang Laws Arcana, converging together.

And as this yin and yang diagram coalesced, his entire aura instantly skyrocketed, and a powerful yin and yang force erupted from his body.

Immediately afterward, his body began to undergo a strange change, splitting into two and transforming into two Chen Fan.

These two Chenfans were one yin and one yang, just like mirror images. They were sitting in the void, emitting very different auras around them.

One was like a blazing sun in the sky, with masculine energy overflowing; the other was like a bright moon in the sky, with feminine energy flowing.

What was even more astonishing was that when these two Chen Fan executed the Yin Yang Ascension Scripture at the same time, a dragon’s roar suddenly resounded in the void.

Immediately afterward, two true dragons, one yin and one yang, flew out from their bodies and hovered around them.

These two true dragons were not very large, only a few dozen meters, but they were lifelike, with their scales flickering with the two colors of yin and yang, and their eyes seemed to contain endless truths of heaven and earth.

They fluttered around Chen Fan’s two bodies, emitting an amazing pressure and aura.

“Is it done?”

In the void, Xia Shuangming felt the fluctuations in Chen Fan’s aura that was radiating out, and his expression was joyful.

In only ten days, Chen Fan had completed the remodeling of his own foundation, his talent was so high that it completely exceeded his expectations.

The power contained in the Five Elements Great Star could support him in laying down the Great Formation for a total of forty-nine days.

The remaining time would definitely allow Chen Fan to complete his comprehension of the Five Elements True Realm Art.

However, most Immortal Cultivators were only able to cultivate one root divine ability.

When cultivating a second root divine ability, they would all be met with a huge obstacle, and the next step was to see if Chen Fan could break through this difficult barrier.

Thinking, he closed his eyes once again.

Meanwhile, after completing the cultivation of the Yin Yang Ascension Scripture, Chen Fan did not stop for a moment and immediately returned Yin and Yang to unity, and then he began his enlightenment of the Five Elements True Realm Art.

The Five Elements True Realm Art was a magical technique that used the power of the five elements as its foundation to construct an illusory true realm.

Even at the end of cultivation, Immortal Cultivators could even truly construct a five element world through this divine ability.

Of course, for Chen Fan, currently, he only needed to cultivate this divine ability, cultivate a prototype, and transform it into his own root divine ability.

“I make a wish that my enlightenment will be able to be raised to its limit in a short period of time!”

“I wish that my enlightenment of the Five Elements True Realm Art will be smooth all the way through!”

Chen Fan closed his eyes and concentrated, devoting himself to the enlightenment of this divine ability.

Under the enchantment of the two small wishes, the flow and changes of the five elemental forces around him were reflected into his heart.

Meanwhile, high up in the sky, Xia Shuangming made a slight adjustment after sensing that Chen Fan had begun to comprehend the Five Elements True Realm Art.

It made the five slowly rotating five elemental stars emit an even more dazzling light.

Time began to pass once again.

As time passed, Chen Fan’s understanding of the power of the five elements became deeper and deeper.

It was as if he saw the power of the five elements intertwine into a splendid pattern in the void, and these patterns kept changing, eventually converging into a real world.

In this world, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth coexisted harmoniously and transformed into each other, forming a perfect cycle.

At this moment, it was as if he had become the master of this world, and with a single thought, he was able to induce a change in the power of the five elements.

“Buzz!”

It was also at this moment that a strange pattern made from the convergence and intertwining of the five elemental laws also appeared in the depths of the well of the Immortal Foundation in his dantian.

The moment this pattern was formed, a large amount of five elemental mana erupted from his Immortal Foundation Well.

These mana forces were filled with all sorts of law runes, and as soon as they came out, they were branded onto the inner wall of Chen Fan’s dantian, causing Chen Fan’s dantian to grow another size.

“It’s done!”

Chen Fan opened his eyes and looked delighted.

Immediately, with a thought, he summoned a Five Elements True Realm Shadow that was filled with the power of the five elements around his body.

Although this Five Elements True Realm Shadow was only a few meters in size, it emitted a powerful pressure.

“Da! Da! Big ……”

Looking at this True Realm Shadow, Chen Fan’s mind moved and it reached dozens of meters, hundreds of meters, and even hundreds of meters in an instant.

However, as this True Realm Shadow continued to grow larger, the pressure it emitted began to diminish.

Such a pressure would be of no small use to cultivators in the Qi Practicing Stage.

However, it would not be very useful against Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators.

“This Root Foundation Divine Power, the biggest effect on me currently, is perhaps ……”

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s heart stirred.

Immediately, the True Realm Void, which had expanded to the size of several hundred meters, quickly shrunk.

And then, it unexpectedly formed a pair of five-colored armor on his body surface under cohesion.

Even without trying, Chen Fan was able to feel how strong the defensive power of the five-colored armor that he had condensed with the Five Elements True Realm Technique.

If he had been wearing this armor during his battle with Lan Ji Ping, he definitely would not have suffered that kind of injury.

It wasn’t even certain that he would have been injured.

“Also, I’ve now condensed two root divine abilities, and they’re both top-notch root divine abilities, in which case, my mana, is no longer my weakness!”

“Even, my mana, has become my strength!”

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

The current him surpassed the average Immortal Cultivator in both the thickness of his mana and the purity of his mana.

Moreover, this average Immortal Cultivator was still referring to those geniuses from the various Great Dao Domains.

“There’s still time!”

“Next, perhaps I can try and see if I can make my Yin Yang Immortal Body, fuse the power of the five elements.”

“If it can succeed ……”

Chen Fan’s eyes burned.

In fact, he was certain about whether he could fuse his Yin Yang Immortal Body, with the power of the five elements, to form a Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body.

After all, he had the Wish Bead in his hand.

However, there was one thing he was unsure of, and that was how long it would take for him to do this.

“I make a wish that I will be able to obtain the Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Body at the fastest speed possible!”

“I make a wish that my luck, will be maximized within a day!”

With a thought, Chen Fan made his two small wishes for the day.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could take two small wishes every day.

It was just that these two small wishes could not be the same.

“Has the Five Elements True Boundary Technique also become a reality?”

In the void, Xia Shuangming’s heart was relieved after seeing Chen Fan summon the Five Elements True Realm Art.

Being able to condense two root divine abilities, in his eyes, Chen Fan’s performance this time was already perfect.

As for the Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body ……

For the rest of the time, it wasn’t impossible to let Chen Fan try it out.

Success was not possible.

But it was also a good thing to let Chen Fan try, so that he would know how difficult it was to try to do it, so that he wouldn’t have to keep thinking about it afterward.

Thinking of this, with a wave of the formation flag in his hand, he maneuvered the Yin and Yang Two-Elements Grand Formation and intersected with the five elements of the Five Elements Grand Star, forming more Chaotic Initial Qi that surged towards Chen Fan.

“Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Chaos ……”

Chen Fan closed his eyes, but his mind captured all the surrounding Laws and Mysteries within himself for enlightenment.

He didn’t know how he was going to achieve Yin and Yang to fuse the five elements.

Even more so, he did not know how to construct a Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body.

But with the Wishing Bead’s enhancement, his luck, as well as the speed of constructing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Body, had been enhanced.

If anyone else wanted to construct a Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Body as he did, they simply wouldn’t be able to capture the part that best suited them amongst the thousands of law arcana.

However, for Chen Fan, as long as he captured the Law Arcana that he had comprehended, they were basically all related to the Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body.

In this case, the aura of his body was changing slightly with each passing day.

And in the midst of this change, a yin and yang qi, which also intertwined and entwined with the power of the five elements, converging into a chaotic initial qi, continuously surged into his body, resonating with his Immortal Foundation’s well.

This resonance, at first, was very weak.

But as time passed, it became more and more intense.

It made it seem as if his body had become a furnace, in which the two qi of yin and yang and the power of the five elements were constantly fusing and refining.

Even his every cell was cheering and every pore was opening up, greedily devouring one of the surrounding forces.

“Boom!”

At a certain moment, just as Chen Fan’s power reached some sort of limit, his entire aura, suddenly rose.

“This is?”

In the void, Xia Shuangming looked at Chen Fan with an inexplicable expression.

Chen Fan had actually built his foundation.

In terms of practicing qi, Chen Fan had long since built his foundation.

At this time, what Chen Fan had built was clearly the foundation of his physical body.

Moreover, it seemed to be somewhat different.

However, because all of this was a change within Chen Fan’s body, with his eyesight, it was difficult to see exactly what was different for a moment.

“Foundation building ……”

After his physical body had built its foundation, Chen Fan’s mind, too, briefly appeared awake.

But immediately following that, he continued to comprehend the various changes in the Yin Yang and Five Elements.

These changes were very fascinating to him.

And he had a premonition that he was not far from completing the construction of the Yin Yang Five Elements Immortal Body.

Time began to pass once again.

Under the passage of time, Chen Fan’s aura was changing every day and day.

The surface of his body sometimes flickered with the light of the yin and yang fish, and sometimes flowed with the colors of the five elemental elements.

These glows and colors intertwined together to form a harmonious and unified strange pattern.

Just for all of this, Xia Shuangming did not see it.

After Chen Fan completed the cultivation of the two root divine abilities and reshaped his own foundation, he paid little attention to Chen Fan.

He spent most of his time on his perception of the Yin Yang Two-Embodied Formation.

More than forty days passed in a row, and he similarly gained a lot.

And seeing that time was getting shorter and shorter, he naturally became even more focused and no longer had the mind to be distracted.

As for Shao Dongning on the other side, he had even less time.

At this time, he had already reached the critical moment of advancing his Wind Cloud Spiritual Body to the Earth Grade.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the middle of the Silent Star Region that was adjacent to the Five Planets Region.

Shi Wenzhao had also reached the critical moment of condensing his second root divine ability.

Unlike Chen Fan.

The Northern Xuan Sect obviously valued him more.

The one who had laid a large formation in the Silent Star Region was clearly none other than the Northern Xuan Sect’s Patriarch himself.

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, right in the middle of the Bei Xuan Sect Patriarch waiting with a calm expression, Shi Wenzhao, who was in the middle of the formation, had an aura that suddenly rose.

Subsequently, an enormous black lotus silhouette coalesced between heaven and earth.

“There’s actually a heaven and earth phenomenon?”

Upon seeing this black lotus, the North Xuan Sect’s Sectmaster, his expression was suddenly stunned.

This enormous black lotus that had coalesced between heaven and earth was not coalesced by Shi Wenzhao himself.

Rather, it was a vision.

Generally speaking, only when an Immortal Cultivator, who had cultivated to a certain realm, could condense all sorts of visions.

However, it had not occurred to him that Shi Wenzhao had condensed a heaven and earth vision after forging two root divine abilities.

This kind of talent was simply appalling.

It was that throughout the entirety of Tian Yuan Immortal Cultivators, throughout the ages, there weren’t many Immortal Cultivators that would have condensed heaven and earth visions due to such a circumstance.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, just as Shi Wenzhao completely integrated the Silent Black Lotus into his body and condensed out the heaven and earth visions because he had forged the two root divine abilities, a figure suddenly broke through the air.

And after this figure, followed closely by two more figures, they quickly rushed over.

“Three senior brothers, what wind actually blew you all over?”

Seeing the people who had come, the North Xuan Sect’s Patriarch’s face immediately revealed a hint of a smile.

The three He Qi Yuns ignored him.

Instead, they all landed their gazes on the heaven and earth visions in front of them, as well as Shi Wenzhao, who was in the middle of the formation.

“Such a genius!”

He Qi Yun took a deep breath.

He had actually given up this kind of genius, hard, to the Northern Xuan Sect.

Just thinking about it caused a pain in his heart.

Afterward, he looked deeply at Shi Wenzhao in the formation, and with a thought, he prepared to leave.

“Senior brother, don’t leave in a hurry.”

“It’s been a long time since the four of us, senior brothers, have gathered together so completely.”

Seeing He Qiyun about to leave, the Northern Xuan Sect Patriarch even called out to him.

“Boom!”

It was only at this moment that a loud bang violently emanated from a starfield in the distance.

A few people were stunned and looked over.

At that moment, they saw that there, the two qi of yin and yang were rising, and the five elements of Chinese light were converging, surprisingly, they also condensed a kind of heaven and earth phenomenon.
