Although the five-colored luminous Qi had been absorbed by Lei Jun, it still remained relatively stable and even somewhat "stubborn."

The internal exchanges within the five-colored luminous Qi were lively.

But there was still a barrier with the outside world.

Lei Jun's body and soul had been nourished by this five-colored luminous Qi to some extent, but there was still a long way to go before completely refining it.

He focused his mana.

The illusory Central Three Pure Ones Palace manifested within the True One Altar Cave Heaven.

The Great Five Elements Creation Qi was guided by Lei Jun into his own Tao Palace.

However, just like the fate of the Breathing Soil Banner, once the five-colored luminous Qi entered Lei Jun's Tao Palace, it almost dissolved his Tao Palace entirely, reducing it to the neutral Qi of the spleen earth.

Upon witnessing this, Lei Jun was neither anxious nor agitated, instead actively allowing the Central Three Pure Ones Palace to transform accordingly.

The vast Qi of the spleen earth that harmonized Yin and Yang re-emerged.

Under Lei Jun's control, he prevented it from wholly merging with the Great Five Elements Creation Qi.

Instead, it intersected with the streams of black and white Qi transformed by his own mana, actively generating.

Thus, earth generated metal, metal generated water, water generated wood, wood generated fire, and fire, in turn, generated earth. The Five Phases Generating cycle continued endlessly. In this way, when combined with the Great Five Elements Creation Qi, a new transformation finally occurred.

Lei Jun's Five Elements were not directly dissolved into nothingness by the other party.

On the contrary, they merged and responded to each other, circulating together, with a sense of synchronization and resonance between them.

It was during this process that Lei Jun conceived more profound realizations.

The Great Five Elements Creation Qi began forming a true connection with his mana, officially starting to be extracted and refined by Lei Jun bit by bit.

Receiving this nurturing guidance that seemed to contain the secrets of creation, the Spiritual Nature of Lei Jun's mana surged along with it.

The Five Phases Generating did not stop.

However, a stream of black and a stream of white Qi rose, reconverging into the Central Three Pure Ones Palace within the True One Altar Cave Heaven.

Then, using the Central Three Pure Ones Palace to harmonize Yin and Yang, Yang ascended and Yin descended.

The Heart Fire, the Qi of the Sun, burned continuously, growing hotter and hotter.

Within the Heart Fire's Yang Qi, a dragon and a tiger could faintly be seen intertwined, roaring.

The dragon and tiger gathered, refining continuously, and the Heart Fire ascended, as if forming an actual sun.

The Qi of the Sun at this moment seemed to become physical, ultimately condensing into a real palace.

A brand-new Tao Palace.

The Southern Dragon Tiger Palace was accomplished through the Qi of the Heart Fire and the Sun.

Lei Jun let out a long sigh.

His second Tao Palace had been constructed.

Although it had already taken rudimentary shape earlier, he had originally expected that he would need to cultivate for a while longer before he could construct the Southern Dragon Tiger Palace.

Now, it was completed at least several months ahead of schedule.

Indeed, it was all thanks to the nourishment and assistance from the Great Five Elements Creation Qi... A hint of a smile appeared on Lei Jun's face.

After calming his mind, his attention quickly refocused.

The Great Five Elements Creation Qi not only accelerated his cultivation but also had additional wonderful uses.

When Lei Jun introspected, he saw that within his five viscera, besides Spleen Earth and Heart Fire, the remaining Kidney Water, Lung Gold, and Liver Wood were also more lively than before.

Although he hadn't formally started cultivating them, a good foundation had already been laid.

Under the Five Phases Generating, it had clearly begun to develop, showing its initial scale.

Thus, his subsequent cultivation would naturally be much more convenient.

More importantly, Lei Jun seemed to see a grand gate afar that had already cracked open slightly for him ahead of time.

In the cultivation of the Taoist Talisman Sect, the Sixth Heaven Layer: the Dao Mark Realm.

From the Fifth Heaven Layer's Tao Palace to the Sixth Heaven Layer's Tao Seal, it is a new Heavenly Chasm that lies before many cultivators.

Refining four Original Talismans is preparation for establishing the Tao Palace.

Constructing the Five Elements Tao Palace is also preparation for condensing the Tao Seal.

But how exactly is it condensed?

Building upon the foundation of the Five Phases Generating, which establishes an internal microcosm of Taoist Laws, one must then reconstruct. This involves blending all one has previously learned, constantly condensing and organizing it, even improving and transforming it, until it achieves sublimation.

Lei Jun's interaction with and refinement of the Great Five Elements Creation Qi, and his comprehension of the secrets of creation inherent in the convergence of the Five Phases Generating, shared a remarkably similar ingenuity with this process.

This not only benefited his current cultivation but also preemptively familiarized him with the path toward the Sixth Heaven Layer Dao Seal Realm.

Lei Jun nodded repeatedly, reined in his thoughts, kept his mind tranquil, and continued his own cultivation.

As time went by, apart from his second Southern Dragon Tiger Palace, Lei Jun even began to lay the initial foundation for his third Tao Palace.

Located in the North, a pure black Tao Palace.

Unlike the order in which other Celestial Master Mansion's Fifth Heaven Layer cultivators constructed their Tao Palaces, Lei Jun first established the Central Palace to harmonize Yin and Yang, followed by the Southern Palace (Sun) and the Northern Palace (Taiyin).

The third Tao Palace that he would successfully establish in the future is the Northern Mysterious Underworld Taoist Palace.

It originates from the Kidney Water Taiyin Qi.

"Once this Tao Palace is constructed, my mana recovery rate should greatly increase," Lei Jun nodded repeatedly.

By then, even without the support of the Breathing Soil Banner, his mana recovery after casting spells would be much faster than before.

The Tao Palaces of the Fifth Heaven Layer cultivators from the Taoist Talisman Sect each have their wondrous uses.

The Central Three Pure Ones Palace, situated in the middle, harmonizes Yin and Yang, beneficial for overall cultivation progress.

The Western Spiritual Officer Palace is the Protector Palace. Its refinement can increase the power of spells.

The Eastern Mysterious Platform Taoist Palace is the Accumulation Palace. Its refinement can enhance mana density or total mana capacity.

The Northern Mysterious Underworld Taoist Palace adheres to the principle of nurturing from Kidney Water and is beneficial for recovery after expenditure.

As for the Southern Dragon Tiger Palace, where dragons and tigers converge and Yang Fire is vigorous, it is advantageous for Talisman Sect Taoists in skills such as Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Talisman Crafting—techniques related to External Alchemy.

At this point, having established the Southern Dragon Tiger Palace, Lei Jun tested his skills.

Indeed, Artifact Refining and Talisman Crafting were much smoother than before.

Not only was the speed faster and the success rate higher, but the mana he consumed was also correspondingly reduced.
