Chen Qing's brow furrowed, his heart filled with shock and uncertainty.
He sensed the Five True Astrals within his Dantian, incompatible and even faintly resisting one another, and fell into deep thought.
'The Five Elements Power both generates and overcomes. The previous fusion of four elements had reached a fragile balance. The addition of Geng Metal, with its overly sharp characteristics, instantly shattered that balance, triggering a violent conflict among the Five Elements Power. This caused the fusion to fail, reverting everything back to its initial state...'
Chen Qing calmed his Heart and Spirit once more. This time, he didn't try to forcefully compress and fuse them.
Instead, he began to meticulously perceive the characteristics and fluctuations of each True Astral, as well as the incredibly subtle relationships of generation and restriction between them.
