“Master, why did my evolutionary instinct choose to perfect the five-element abilities?” Yue Peng asked.

“Because evolution through the five elements is the foundation of perfecting the original evolution of the Chinese genetic bloodline. For us Chinese to achieve perfect evolution, we must build upon the origin of the five-element abilities. Otherwise, life cannot attain perfection,” said True Person Qingxu, stroking his beard.

“I see!” Yue Peng said, suddenly enlightened.

“You know the Hetu, right? It is the foundation of the origins of Chinese civilization, and it records the secrets of genetic evolution. At its heart are yin and yang and the five elements,” True Person Qingxu continued.

“Heaven One pairs with Earth Six to generate water, Heaven Two with Earth Seven to generate fire, Heaven Three with Earth Eight to generate wood, Heaven Four with Earth Nine to generate metal, and Heaven Five with Earth Ten to generate earth,” Yue Peng recited fluently.

“What this describes is the mystery of how life comes into being. The five elements are the foundation both for the creation of life and for its evolution to perfection. Life begins and ends with the five elements. If your five elements are deficient, you get sick. If they are depleted, your life is over.” True Person Qingxu took a sip of mutant tea.

“Actually, this applies not only to Chinese civilization. All advanced evolutionary civilizations are founded on perfecting the five elements. The five elements are the five essential forms of energy required by life. If they aren’t replenished in time, life will suffer. The more abundant the five-element energy, the more advanced it is, and the stronger the life force naturally becomes,” True Person Qingxu continued.
