Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart agrees to journey to the Red Domain with a Jisheng Hall associate to confront a new formidable force allied with the Sword Demon that's plaguing the Red Leaf Sect. Crowds of prodigies flock to the Immortal Sect's Master's Dao Maze, seeking entry and assurances for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. Wen Ping selects the reluctant Elder Yun Liao, a magic cultivator at the Divine Profound Realm, to secure the Red Domain's top position.

Once the meal concluded, Yun Liao made his way to Tingyu Pavilion.

He continued to wish that Wen Ping would reconsider and offer this chance to the disciples instead, as he believed they required it even more. Ultimately, after receiving stern rebukes from Wen Ping on two occasions, Yun Liao fell silent and accepted the decision without protest.

Finally, Wen Ping addressed Yun Liao.

"Head to the Mage Tower and select the magic that suits you best. Under your command, the magic invasion strategy for Heaven-Gazing Gorge will advance to its next phase!"

Hearing these words, Yun Liao grasped the heavy burden now resting upon him.

This went beyond merely claiming the top spot in the Red Domain; the Sect Leader planned to leverage him to reveal magic's presence to the world.

The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking draws immense focus, so securing first place in the Red Domain would propel the Immortal Sect’s magic into a fresh era across Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

With this realization, an overwhelming sense of duty surged through Yun Liao like never before.

Departing from Tingyu Pavilion, Yun Liao rushed directly to the Mage Tower!

Having trained for a while in Sea Thought Pavilion, he sensed it was time to tackle Tier Three Magic, leading him straight to the level dedicated to Tier Three spells.

"The Sect Leader mentioned before that picking a magic cultivation path is crucial. Magic shouldn’t be practiced in a scattered manner; pursuing both Thunder Element and Wind Element splits your limited time, making it impossible to excel in everything."

"Yet, since the Fifth World emerged, I believe the Sect Leader’s advice no longer applies fully. Time is no longer a constraint."

"Elder Long Ke specializes in Summoning Element, Yang Lele focuses on Thunder Element, while the Sword Demon pursues Support Element and Control Element..."

"The Sect Leader selected me for this, so I must demonstrate magic’s might to everyone in Heaven-Gazing Gorge. Thus, I’ll go with—Full Element!"

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, plus Summoning Element—I’ll master them all. Beginning with Gold Element!"

Yun Liao searched through the Gold Element Tier Three magics and settled on the most devastating one among them—"Storm Sword Array."

Belongs to Forbidden Magic!

Naturally, Yun Liao had no knowledge of that fact.

At entry level, Storm Sword Array summons a thousand blades that weave into a massive sword formation where no life can endure.

Upon reaching mastery—or the Realm of Perfection—Storm Sword Array calls forth no fewer than ten thousand swords. Furthermore, greater Spiritual Power from the caster amplifies its might, boosting the sword count accordingly.

For Wood Element Tier Three healing magic, Yun Liao picked "Song of the Forest."

This stands apart from the Sword Demon’s Holy Light Shining, offering a distinctive edge. As long as Wood Qi lingers in nearby woods, the spell keeps restoring the caster’s wounds nonstop. It halts only when Wood Qi vanishes from the vicinity.

Disrupting the spell, of course, halts the healing as well.

At Perfection, it restores ten percent of injuries every hundred breaths!

To counter potential interruptions, Yun Liao selected Water Element Tier Three control magic—"Mirror Lake Barrier."

Earth Element Vein Techniques are famed for unmatched defense.

Magic operates differently; its defensive strength hinges entirely on the caster’s power.

Water can turn tougher than rock!

Above all, Mirror Lake Barrier excels at restraining foes.

Perfected, it withstands any Earth Unrestricted Expert!

For the remaining two elements, Yun Liao opted for spells boasting superior offensive prowess.

Fire Element Tier Three attack magic—"Bone Spirit Cold Fire."

Earth Element Tier Three attack magic—"Ultimate Heavy Pressure."

Bone Spirit Cold Fire requires little explanation: it conjures ferocious flames to incinerate enemies to dust!

As for the Earth Element Tier Three spell "Ultimate Heavy Pressure," it was a deliberate pick by Yun Liao. His Spirit Body lacks sufficient strength currently, so against foes lunging in for close assaults, he needed a blend of control and damage.

Ultimate Heavy Pressure suits perfectly!

It crushes opponents with immense pressure.

It also binds their actions.

Offense and restraint in harmony!

Having carefully selected magics across five elements, Yun Liao refrained from seeking more and promptly exited the Mage Tower for Sea Thought Pavilion.

Grabbing too much at once leads to poor absorption, so prioritize entry-level mastery for Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!

As Yun Liao departed the Mage Tower, Wen Ping observed the entire scene from Tingyu Pavilion, a faint smile gracing his lips.

This delighted him, for Yun Liao showed independent thought and personal vision.

His earlier guidance applied solely to pre-Fifth World magic practice.

Now with the Fifth World, becoming a Full Element Mage is entirely feasible!

Yun Liao’s choice proved spot-on!

Better yet, his Five Elements Magic selections were spot-on. He avoided recklessness, shunning pure destructive pursuits.

Mages dread close-quarters assaults most, rendering control and defense vital.

Particularly against Meridian Gate Cultivators, whose robust Spirit Bodies and Mountain-Suppressing Armor demand strong enemy lockdown for mages.

He refuses to witness Immortal Sect mages who hurl Tier Four spells to slay Earth Unrestricted foes yet fall to Mountain Suppression Realm warriors in melee.

"Elder Yun, I eagerly await your rise as the Immortal Sect’s inaugural Full Element Great Mage." Shutting off the live view, Wen Ping turned his attention to events unfolding in Master’s Dao Maze.

At that moment, Yun Liao entered Sea Thought Pavilion and started cultivating the Gold Element Tier Three magic "Storm Sword Array," reciting the incantations relentlessly.

Silver sword edges flickered into existence with each chant, only to vanish abruptly.

No true storm emerged!

Failure indicated!

Undeterred, Yun Liao persisted in his relentless practice until his Sea Thought Pavilion time expired.

Exiting Sea Thought Pavilion, he sought another isolated spot to refine "Storm Sword Array."

Entry-level success was all he needed!

Then, Fifth World acceleration awaited.

Over the next few days in a row, Yun Liao drilled "Storm Sword Array" ceaselessly until, on the fifth day during Sea Thought Pavilion session, he unleashed the full Storm Sword Array.

Myriad silver longswords hovered above Yun Liao abruptly, their ferocious Sword Qi swirling chaotically. Thankfully, Sea Thought Pavilion’s systemic nature prevented any harm; otherwise, ordinary structures would lie in tatters from the frenzied Sword Qi.

Instantly after, the horde of longswords morphed into radiant streams, surging storm-like through the sword-lit zone, poised to dice everything in Sea Thought Pavilion. Terrified, Yun Liao dispelled the magic and bolted outside.

To the Fifth World—he rushed!

Entering the Fifth World, he instantly opted for the ten-year life path without hesitation.

Ten years of secluded training!

"Storm Sword Array" reached the Realm of Perfection.

Expending his last 100 Sect Task Points, Yun Liao dove into that decade-long trajectory for intensive Storm Sword Array cultivation.
