He knew something was amiss, but his heart was not in turmoil, for although he had touched upon the very fringes of the Great Dao in the Golden Core Realm, he was far from mastering it; his calm stemmed from the knowledge that even if he had not mastered the Five Elements, Hou Niao, being merely in the Tongtian Natural Realm, certainly could not either. If they both had a superficial understanding of the true essence of the Five Elements, then it ultimately came down to a contest of Realm Magic Power, where he would not be at a disadvantage.
