Chapter 193
Zheng Fa felt a bit perplexed, as if the doubts in his heart had not diminished at all.
It was a kind of bewilderment, like a program had started running, and he had no idea why.
In the next moment, he felt the "Möbius Mirror" tremble.
The spiritual energy in the void surged toward his dantian like a frenzy.
"Have I reached Foundation Establishment?" Zheng Fa's eyes widened, suddenly feeling as if his soul was being yanked by something, soaring out of his body, even breaking through the roof of the Five Dragon Heavenly Palace and flying into the sky.
At this moment, it was already quite late.
The sun had long set.
But the sky was still bright—
In Zheng Fa's "eyes," a vast expanse of purple energy stretched for thousands of miles, obscuring the dim stars and blocking the moonlight.
This commotion... was a bit too much.
...
Inside the great hall, Master Pang and a few others were drinking.
"Pang, how did you figure out that the Xuan Gui Shangren was from the Da Zizai Demon Sect?" someone asked. "You seemed quite friendly with him at first."
"Don't underestimate Master Pang," another laughed. "Master Pang has always been perceptive; he probably saw through that guy's ulterior motives long ago and was just playing along."
"Exactly! Otherwise, how could he have wiped out that subordinate in one fell swoop?"
"Master Pang truly has wisdom in his grasp, never showing his hand..."
Listening to their flattery, Master Pang raised his cup and smiled without saying a word.
The speakers exchanged glances, secretly cursing—this guy was indeed hiding something, a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Yet, because of this, they showed even more respect to Master Pang, even a hint of awe.
Master Pang observed them with a cold gaze, his expression growing more amiable, feeling a bit smug inside.
At that moment, the sudden phenomenon in the sky caught the attention of these Yuanying real people.
"Three thousand miles of purple energy... what kind of phenomenon is this?"
Though each Yuanying real person had seen much in their time, they now looked at each other, unsure of what was happening.
"Wait! Look!"
Someone pointed at the sky.
In the east, a great sun rose.
In the west, a crescent moon appeared.
"The sun and moon shine together..."
Now, the group of Yuanying could no longer sit still.
They crowded at the entrance of the great hall, staring at the sky, their faces filled with confusion and shock.
Clearly, for the Yuanying real people, this kind of phenomenon was still astonishing.
"Is it... someone has transformed their spirit?"
"Transforming the spirit also has tribulations, and besides, such a phenomenon shouldn't occur."
"Wait, I just felt a disturbance in the spiritual energy." One Yuanying real person suddenly spoke up. "That disturbance seems to be coming from the Five Dragon Heavenly Palace."
Upon hearing this, everyone recalled the earlier commotion.
The scale of that spiritual energy was small, and they hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now, with the disturbance and the phenomenon appearing in tandem, it sparked their imaginations.
They all looked toward the host of the place, Master Pang, who wore a smile.
Under their curious gazes.
His smile grew even brighter, yet he said not a word, wearing an expression that suggested this was a secret of their sect.
What are you looking at? I don’t know a thing!
What’s with this kid Zheng Fa? How can his Foundation Establishment cause such a stir!

**Chapter 188: Divine Powers**
Zheng Fa felt as if he was being "pulled" by something, his soul soaring into the sky.
He passed through the roof of the Five Dragon Heavenly Palace and saw Master Pang and the others looking out from the great hall.
Then, he saw the entire Lei Chi Fang City beneath him. The disciples in the market seemed captivated by the celestial phenomenon, with shopkeepers and customers alike craning their necks and standing on tiptoe to gaze upward.
It was as if they couldn’t see him at all.
Zheng Fa continued to ascend.
Gradually, the people below shrank to the size of ants.
Lei Chi Fang City resembled a pile of children's building blocks.
Even the vast Lei Chi, after a moment, became just a dot on the ground.
Soon, that dot was indistinguishable.
He passed through the sea of clouds.
Slowly, he flew alongside the sun and moon.
But he didn’t stop; that force continued to pull him upward.
When he finally halted, he found himself surrounded by emptiness.
It felt as if his soul could no longer ascend, as if it had touched a thick barrier.
Zheng Fa looked up, but saw nothing.
Is this... the so-called heavenly shackles spoken of by the Tianhe Zunren?
He gazed upward.
What he saw above astonished him.
A symbol was spinning above his head.
This symbol was so large that Zheng Fa suspected it might even be bigger than Lei Chi itself.
What struck him as strange was that as the symbol rotated, it bore a familiar configuration—the Five Elements Child Symbol.
Zheng Fa suddenly realized:
What was pulling him upward was probably this thing.
Sister Zhang's Five Elements Ring resonated with the heavens; could it be referring to this?
He reached out toward the symbol above, but found nothing.
His hand passed through the spiritual symbol without any obstruction.
"Is it fake?"
He puzzled over this, extending his hand again, only to discover that the symbol had formed a gap shaped like a right hand.
"A projection?"
He suddenly froze, realizing that this thing was also a projection.
Zheng Fa looked beyond the sky.
As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but emptiness.
The true form of this symbol was likely far away, perhaps even outside of this time and space.
Just as he grasped this point, the enormous symbol above him suddenly shrank into a glowing sphere, emitting a blinding flash as it charged toward him!
Zheng Fa was knocked dizzy.
He felt himself plummeting rapidly.
In the next moment, he found himself back in his body, while the glowing sphere that had transformed from the giant symbol plunged directly into the Möbius symbol in his dantian.
Zheng Fa frowned, noticing that the originally simple Five Elements Child Symbol had suddenly taken on some other changes. These changes were difficult to perceive with the naked eye, but it seemed that his mind had gained some new information.
...
"Are you saying... it seems you've acquired a divine power?"
In Zheng Fa's room, Sister Zhang was scrutinizing him from head to toe, her eyes reflecting both pride and concern.
"Yes..." He had nothing to hide in front of Sister Zhang. "This divine power seems to be a gift from that symbol, called the Reverse and Forward Five Elements Divine Light."
"The Reverse and Forward Five Elements Divine Light, what kind of power does it hold?"
"I just acquired this divine power, so I don't know much about it. It probably allows me to control someone else's magical treasure for a short time."
As he said this, his expression turned a bit strange.
This thing... he felt like he had heard something similar in modern times.
Sister Zhang pondered for a moment and then asked, "Short time? How short?"
"How about we give it a try?"
Sister Zhang and Yuan Shijie exchanged glances and nodded slightly, both taking out their own magical treasures.
Yuan Shijie's magical treasure was, as expected, a feather fan made from her feathers.
But Zheng Fa was a bit surprised by Sister Zhang's magical treasure—she held a brush in her hand.
"This is my innate spiritual treasure, the Flying Immortal Brush." Seeing his puzzled expression, Sister Zhang explained, "I forged this after achieving the Golden Core. The brush handle is made from the beak of the Vermilion Bird, the brush tip from the fur of the White Tiger, the brush holder from the horn of the Qilin, and the top is made from the shell of the Black Tortoise."
Zheng Fa felt a pang in his jaw.
How sour.
Beside them, Yuan Shijie's fan seemed to shrink a little, looking somewhat self-conscious.
"Sister, the legendary Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth have been gone for tens of thousands of years; where did you get these materials..."
Sister Zhang replied coldly, "I never engage in battles without profit."
But you’ve fought many battles...
Got it.
No wonder Sister Zhang, with such talent, has a less-than-stellar reputation in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
Sister Zhang didn’t take out this treasure to show off.
She had Zheng Fa demonstrate the Reverse and Forward Five Elements Divine Light on both her and Yuan Shijie.
The effects were quickly revealed.
For Yuan Shijie, a Golden Core, Zheng Fa could control her magical treasure for the duration of an incense stick.
But for Sister Zhang, a Yuanying real person, it fell short.
The Reverse and Forward Five Elements Divine Light only worked for a single breath.
Moreover, because these two magical treasures were a heavy burden on his spiritual consciousness and power, he found it difficult to truly use their treasures; at most, he could only interfere with Sister Zhang and Yuan Shijie's control over their treasures.
"…"
After the trial, Sister Zhang noticed that Zheng Fa's expression was off.
"Sister Zhang?"
"I finally understand how others viewed me before."
"…"
"They probably thought the heavens were unfair, which is why they wanted to attack me."
"Well... Sister Zhang." Zheng Fa interrupted her, "Is it possible that their desire to attack you might also have something to do with your personality?"
"…"
