Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1974

Then, he looked at Li Lan with an apologetic expression.

"My lord, please don't blame them. They just really want to leave here."

"Furthermore, sir, you don't need to draw conclusions now. Once you've truly witnessed the special substances within the secret realm, you should gain some insights."

Upon hearing what the old man said, the creatures behind him instantly hesitated.

Li Lan noticed their predicament, as if they had some unspeakable troubles.

Then he spoke:

"I know that the special substance you mentioned exists beneath this lake, but rest assured, if you do not agree to let me examine it, I will leave without disturbing you."

After saying that, Li Lan turned to leave.

"Sir, please wait!"

At this moment, the old man called out to Li Lan again.

"My lord, could you please give us some time to discuss this matter?"

Li Lan nodded.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time before the operation is over, so he's not in a hurry.

A quarter of an hour later, after some hesitation, these native creatures finally confessed the existence of the special substance to Li Lan.

"My lord, you are unaware of the truth."

"Typically, after the death of its master, an internally created world will gradually collapse and perish because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can no longer be continuously supplied."

"The reason why this secret realm has been able to exist to this day is because the creation path cultivated by our lord back then was different from that of ordinary people."

“There are many cultivators who practice the Creation Path, but they are all different from each other.”

"Based on the different understandings and depths of the rules of heaven and earth that each cultivator comprehends, each internally created world will also be different."

"Our lord cultivates the Five Elements Dao, which points directly to the root of the Great Dao. It involves various Great Dao rules from the beginning of the world. Even in the Four Heavens outside, our lord's strength is extremely powerful."

"Because the Five Elements are an essential stage in the evolution of heaven and earth, pointing directly to the foundation of the Creation Way."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan immediately became interested.

This was the first time he had ever heard that the Path of Creation was different and not a single Great Path.

After a pause, the old man continued:

"In the beginning of time, the five elements evolved, and thus the universe took its initial form."

"The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth interact with each other, constantly evolving to form the universe and all living things."

"The reason why our lord was able to maintain the inner world after his death is because he created his own Daoist method and transformed the inner world into the Five Elements World."

"Our lord created the Five Elements and buried their origins in the five regions of this secret realm. They evolved independently, yet they are interconnected, maintaining the survival of the secret realm."

"Besides the primeval forest we are in, there are four other different areas within the secret realm."

"What we represent here is the element of wood in the Five Elements theory. It has an inexhaustible source of life force and is the place with the most living beings among these five regions."

"The other four regions represent the Fire region, which represents the energy of evolution; the Metal region, which represents the condensation of all tangible matter; the Earth region, where all things can stand; and the Water region, which represents the kinetic energy of the evolution of things."

"The five elements support each other, yet also repel each other; this is the foundation upon which this world is built."

Li Lan had also heard of this saying when he was on Earth.

I never expected that even in this four-world world, there would be some connection.

He had seriously considered this path of creation, but at that time he was in Yi Jun's inner world, where the rules of the Great Dao were incomplete, so he did not gain any real insights.

Unexpectedly, the owner of this secret realm was able to materialize it and create such a wondrous world according to his own understanding of the Five Elements.

The old man continued:

"Before our creation, our Lord had already collected the substances representing the five elements and placed them in these five areas."

"Behind you, sir, lies a substance representing the element of water in this lake."
