The Path of Life and Death

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the way of heaven and earth, the laws of change, the root of all things, and the foundation of life and death. The five elements transform into all things, and this is life; all things return to the five elements, and this is death. The way of life and death stems from the five elements, mysterious beyond understanding. Humans are the foremost of all living things, bodies formed from the five elements, yet even they cannot escape death. Heaven and earth were formed from the five elements, so why do they endure forever? Because they have reached the utmost limit of the five elements. These ultimate states are known as Supreme Metal, Supreme Wood, Supreme Water, Supreme Fire, and Supreme Earth, or the Great Perfection. That is why heaven and earth endure. Humans cultivate the Way and techniques of heaven and earth. If they bring any one of the five elements to perfection, they can escape life and death and attain godhood. If all five elements reach perfection, they can control the way of life and death and stand equal with heaven and earth. From life to death, and from death back to life, his fate is full of twists and turns. Watch as he learns to control the way of life and death, rise above all others, and rule the entire world.
