Chapter 174 The Laws of the Great Dao of Life and the Profound Yellow Dao Fruit (Please Subscribe)
“Fellow Daoist is right.” Li Xuanyang glanced at Lingmu Daoist with surprise, then smiled and nodded, saying, “The three Human Emperors, Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, have attained their Dao and returned to their positions in different ways. Therefore, the selection of a Human Emperor’s teacher to assist him is not solely based on his cultivation level.”

"So, the Lieshan clan's attainment of enlightenment and return to its rightful place is related to food?" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Fuxi suddenly thought of the innate eight trigrams he had comprehended from the Hetu and Luoshu, which enabled him to become the common ruler of the human race and finally achieve perfect merit and attain the position of Holy Emperor.

"You could say that," Li Xuanyang chuckled lightly, without saying anything more.

At this moment, each of them was lost in their own thoughts and couldn't help but look down at the Lieshan Clan. After a long while, they finally heard Lingmu Daoist ask Li Xuanyang with great interest, "Fellow Daoist, when will you send the second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen to try their luck?"

“That will suffice!” Li Xuanyang said with a chuckle. “Since you are so curious about this matter, why don’t we descend together on the auspicious clouds and become witnesses?”

Regardless of whether Lingmu Daoist agreed or not, Li Xuanyang immediately sent a telepathic message to all the second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen sect, instructing them to come and try their luck. Then, he concealed himself and descended on auspicious clouds.

Seeing this, the group exchanged smiles and followed closely behind, while the second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen Sect all showed joy on their faces and rode auspicious clouds to arrive.

A short while later, outside the Jiang clan's territory, one after another, second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen revealed their true forms and requested an audience with the Lieshan clan.

"I wonder what brings you here, esteemed immortals?" Lieshan asked, noticing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, wondering why they had come to visit him.

The next moment, one of the Taoists, with a smile on his face, spoke first: "This humble Taoist is Guang Chengzi, a disciple of the Jade Purity Saint Yuanshi Tianzun. Greetings, young friend."

"I have come here with the intention of taking you as my disciple. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. For the sake of the fortune and merit of the Emperor's teacher, the disciples of the Chan Sect were willing to risk their reputation and speak first. This prompted everyone to quickly introduce themselves and their backgrounds, stating that they intended to take the Lieshan Clan under their wing.

"Esteemed immortals, could you teach me a way to ensure my people no longer have to worry about food?" Lieshan asked calmly after bowing to everyone.

food!

As soon as Lieshan finished speaking, everyone was taken aback. While they certainly had no shortage of spiritual roots, herbs, and other spiritual fruits in their own mountains, they looked troubled when it came to food.

"Could you esteemed immortals teach me a method to cure my clansmen's illnesses?"

"I have countless spiritual roots and immortal herbs in my mountains. If some of my clansmen take them, they will be immune to all diseases." Everyone's eyes lit up. This was not a difficult matter.

"Can all members of all tribes do this?" Lieshan asked the crowd again.

"Young friend, please don't make things difficult for us." Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads with wry smiles. The human race was so numerous that even with countless spiritual roots and immortal herbs, it was impossible to make all humans immune to all diseases.

As for food!

Some people thought of the Five-Colored Nine-Eared Valley, but humans are ultimately different from the witches. They are not born with magical powers and cannot easily cultivate large amounts of spiritual fields or set up restrictive formations like the witches.

"Then please forgive Lieshan for not being able to take you all as his teachers." After saying this, Lieshan turned and walked into the tribe, leaving everyone looking at each other, at a loss.

"Since you young friends are not destined to meet, why don't you come up and have a chat?" Li Xuanyang chuckled. The problems of the Lieshan Clan are all for the benefit of the clan members. Not to mention the second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen, even many quasi-saints and great supernatural beings have never paid attention to such matters.

"We will obey the True Man's decree!" Upon hearing this, although the crowd was unwilling, they still rode auspicious clouds to the void and bowed to Li Xuanyang and the others.

"May I ask, Master, how should this matter be resolved?" Everyone's gaze turned to Kong Xuan, wondering if Fuxi had encountered such difficulties when he attained enlightenment.

"This matter is both difficult and easy," Li Xuanyang said with a chuckle, noticing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces. "As for food, we can simply pass on the Five-Colored Nine-Eared Grain and the methods of cultivation."

"As for the methods of treating diseases, the Lieshan clan will solve them on their own."

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Xuanyin Daoist pointed to the bewildered crowd and said to Li Xuanyang, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be mysterious and leave us all confused."

"Hahahaha..." Li Xuanyang suddenly burst into laughter, "It was my fault."

"The Five-Colored Nine-Eared Millet that I mentioned earlier does not refer to spirit rice, but rather to a variety grafted onto ordinary plants. It can be grown without the need for spirit fields, and using it as a crop can solve the food problem for the human race."

"As for the method of treating the disease, it is related to whether Lieshan Clan has achieved the perfection of his merits, and it is not something that outsiders can help with."

Everyone couldn't help but think of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos that Fuxi had comprehended; could it be that he also needed to comprehend a similar method?

"Master, should we go back and graft the Five-Colored Nine-Eared Rice next?" Zhao Gongming couldn't help but ask. Cultivating spiritual rice and spiritual fields always requires as much spiritual energy as possible. This was the first time he had heard that it had to be grafted onto ordinary plants to transform them into mortal objects.

"No need for such trouble." Before Li Xuanyang could speak, the Spirit Wood Daoist said with a smile, "Do any of you young friends carry Five-Colored Nine-Eared Grain?"

These second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen sect, at the very least, possessed the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal and no longer needed to eat spirit rice, so naturally they had none of this.

"I happen to have a few with me." At this moment, Li Xuanyang suddenly waved his sleeve towards Lingmu Daoren and took out several five-colored nine-eared millet plants, which fell in front of Lingmu Daoren. Each plant was covered with a large ear of fruit, which was green, yellow, red, white and black, and exuded a burst of spiritual energy.

"It seems you were prepared, fellow Daoist." After glancing at the Five-Colored Nine-Eared Valley, Daoist Lingmu seemed to be joking with Li Xuanyang. He then took out a wooden staff and cast a beam of light at the few Five-Colored Nine-Eared Valley plants that Li Xuanyang had taken out, enveloping them in its glow.

The second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen sect had not yet noticed anything, but Li Xuanyang and other quasi-saints with great supernatural powers all showed expressions of surprise, "The Great Law of Life!"

"Fellow Daoist, you actually possess such laws?" Just as Zhen Yuanzi was about to offer some praise, he saw that Li Xuanyang's expression seemed to change slightly. The Chaos Pearl among the Thirty-Six Chaotic Heavens faintly stirred, as if it had sensed a familiar aura, which was very similar to the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror.

"A Chaos Spiritual Treasure!" Li Xuanyang's gaze sharpened as he looked at the Spirit Wood Daoist, only to see the Daoist's enigmatic smile. He said, "Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist!"

The next moment, several five-colored nine-eared millet plants began to emit light and continuously emanate bursts of spiritual energy.

The spirituality it contained gradually dissipated, turning into ordinary plants.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang's gaze became even more solemn, and he said to Lingmu Daoist, "Fellow Daoist, what skill! You have cultivated the laws of the Great Dao of Life to such a level. I'm afraid your cultivation level is even above mine."

The others also noticed Lingmu Daoren's extraordinary nature, and each of them showed a strange expression, thinking about what Li Xuanyang had just said.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be surprised. All living things in the universe are born from heaven and earth, grow in heaven and earth, and return to heaven and earth. This is the cycle of heaven. I merely used the power of the laws to transform it into ordinary grains."

At this point, Daoist Lingmu waved his sleeve, returning the several five-colored nine-eared millet plants to Li Xuanyang, and said with a smile, "Why don't you take a look and have a taste, fellow Daoist?"

“There’s no need for that.” Li Xuanyang withdrew his gaze and turned to Kong Xuan, saying, “Take these few Five-Colored Nine-Eared Millet plants first, and then hand them over to the Lieshan Clan when the time is right.”

After speaking, Li Xuanyang glanced at the many second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen Sect, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "If you have nothing else to do, you may all stay and assist the Lieshan Clan in proving the Dao, but you will not be given the title of Teacher of the Human Emperor."

"Disciple thanks the True Man!" Everyone's faces lit up with joy. Although they did not become the teacher of the Human Emperor, they were still greatly benefited from assisting the Lieshan Clan in attaining enlightenment.

"Alright, you may all leave!" Li Xuanyang waved his sleeve at the crowd, unleashing a burst of golden light that transported them into the Jiang clan's territory. He then turned to Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi, and the others, saying, "It will take at least several thousand years for the Lieshan clan to attain enlightenment and return to their rightful place. I wonder what your plans are, fellow Daoists?"

"I have been away from Xuan Yin Cave Heaven for some time now, and I am afraid I need to return with my disciples," Xuan Yin Daoist said to the group with a hint of apology.

"I also wish to return to West Kunlun," said the Queen Mother of the West, glancing at the Spirit Wood Daoist.

"That's fine then!" Li Xuanyang nodded, without trying to persuade him to stay any longer.

Xuan Yin Daoist and Zhulong took their leave and returned to their respective dojos, while Xi Wangmu left with Lingmu Daoist. Only Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi, and Kong Xuan were left behind by Li Xuanyang.

Now that the matter of the Holy Emperor's throne has stirred up a storm, Li Xuanyang does not think that everyone will be indifferent to the attainment of sainthood.

In the primordial world, apart from the Primordial Purple Qi, only the Holy Emperor can now prove the Dao and become a Saint, breaking through to the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

This has caused countless quasi-saints and great supernatural beings to be extremely envious. Even a being like Daoist Lingmu couldn't help but come out of the world. Otherwise, Li Xuanyang wouldn't have revealed the thirty-six chaotic heavens and his own cultivation and supernatural powers as a deterrent.

Therefore, Li Xuanyang left Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi, and Kong Xuan behind just in case, to prevent any unforeseen events.

However, Li Xuanyang himself only stayed in the Jiang clan's tribe for a few months. Seeing the quasi-saints and powerful cultivators depart, he also took his leave. ………………

In the void, a golden cloud streaked across the sky and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Standing atop auspicious clouds, Li Xuanyang had been contemplating the creation of his own world, and after encountering the Spirit Wood Daoist, he felt an even greater sense of urgency.

After the Lieshan clan's ascension to the Dao and their return to their rightful place, everyone will surely feel resentful upon learning that it is Hongyun, which will inevitably lead to trouble.

Therefore, after arranging things for the Lieshan clan, Li Xuanyang planned to go to the Chaos Void to go into seclusion for a period of time in order to enhance his own cultivation and supernatural abilities.

Looking at the boundless chaotic void, Li Xuanyang suddenly had a thought to summon the Thirty-Six Chaotic Heavens and the Hetu Luoshu. His heart skipped a beat. Given his current level of cultivation, there must be a reason for such a sudden impulse.

Once Li Xuanyang made up his mind, he simply sat cross-legged above the chaotic void and manifested the thirty-six chaotic heavens and the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams to experience them personally.

In an instant, Li Xuanyang's body shone with divine light, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above a cloud of auspiciousness about an acre in size, golden divine light soared into the sky, engulfing the Hetu and Luoshu within it and refining them with his primordial spirit power. Then he immersed his mind in it, surrounded by the thirty-six chaotic heavens.

At this moment, the entire panorama of the primordial world gradually emerged in Li Xuanyang's mind, as if he had returned to the scene of walking in the primordial world in the past, crossing mountains and rivers, and leaving his footprints all over the mountains and rivers of the primordial land, just as if he were really experiencing it.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang's consciousness seemed to return to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, transforming into a ball of golden and silver Xuanyang Qi, instinctively absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and innate spiritual energy.

Countless years passed, so long that Li Xuanyang could not even count them. His mind was in a daze until one day, purple qi came from the east above the valley, and thousands of auspicious signs appeared. Thunderbolts rose from the heavens and fell into the golden and yellow Xuanyang qi. At the same time, countless innate spiritual energies surged into him, gradually shaping a Dao body.

He then obtained the innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Lamp, and discussed the Dao with the Three Pure Ones. He encountered the birth of the Banana Tree, went to the southern part of the prehistoric world, killed the Moon Centipede Daoist, and finally met the Queen Mother of the West in the Kunlun Mountains.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang suddenly realized that since meeting the Queen Mother of the West, he had obtained the two innate Yin and Yang energies, which allowed him to forge a magic weapon for achieving enlightenment and obtain the broken innate twelve-grade black lotus of destruction. From then on, his cultivation became invincible.

Not only did he obtain a series of fortuitous opportunities and innate spiritual treasures, and comprehend the Chaos Undying Body Technique, but he also collected all five innate elemental flags, and even obtained the Chaos Pearl in the Ancestral Witch Hall. Finally, with the help of the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact he refined, he broke through to the realm of the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint.

These events all surfaced in my mind, merging with the mountains and rivers of the primordial world transformed from the Hetu and Luoshu.

"Could there be something strange about this?" Just as he thought of this, Li Xuanyang suddenly felt his body lighten, and the Chaos Undying Body Technique within his body started to operate on its own. His mind gradually recovered, and he seemed to feel a bright light flash by, making his entire primordial spirit clear.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang subconsciously put the matter out of his mind and instead deduced all of his own Daoist scriptures. He formed a series of hand seals, and the Five Banners of the Primordial Spirit rose high above the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit. With a loud bang, they suddenly fell into the chaotic void and transformed into Daoists who looked at each other and smiled, sitting cross-legged around Li Xuanyang.

In a short while, beams of divine light shot out from the primordial world, transforming into three innate twelfth-grade lotus flowers, which landed on the three flowers of the primordial spirit. The divine light soared into the sky and then disappeared in an instant. As the divine light disappeared, they fell down in the blink of an eye and transformed into three Daoists.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang gradually opened his eyes. His eyes, which were as bright and dazzling as stars, became deep and bright, revealing a trace of ancient and eternal brilliance. "The Hetu and Luoshu are truly extraordinary. No wonder they can be used to deduce the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Hunyuan Heluo Array, and the Innate Eight Trigrams."

In terms of the wonders of killing and offense/defense, the Hetu Luoshu is not as good as Li Xuanyang's Yin-Yang Lamp, but in terms of deducing the path of a great divine being, it far surpasses other innate spiritual treasures.

"This time, I have refined it to perfection, not only deduced and sorted out my own Daoist scriptures from beginning to end, but also comprehended the mysteries of the Zhou Tian transformation, and observed the primordial mountains, rivers and streams, which are truly wonderful." Feeling the changes at this moment, Li Xuan Yang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"Next!" Li Xuanyang's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly said to the Daoists around him, "I ask for your help, fellow Daoists, to jointly develop the thirty-six chaotic heavens and open them up into a world."

"That's how it should be!" The three corpses of good and evil and the five elements of the Dharma body each shouted softly, pushing their own cultivation and magic power to the limit, and merging with Li Xuanyang to unfold all thirty-six chaotic heavens, transforming them into various heavenly worlds, seemingly rotating chaotically, yet also seemingly following a profound trajectory.

At this moment, the surrounding billions of miles of chaotic void were enveloped by Li Xuanyang's magic power and the thirty-six chaotic heavens, and endless chaotic energy surged into it.

"Undying Chaos Body, activate!"

Golden light surged from Li Xuanyang's eyes, revealing his Undying Chaos Body. He took out the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact nurtured within the Chaos Pearl, transforming it into a Chaos Sword Light that fell into the Thirty-Six Chaos Heavens.

At this moment, the surrounding chaotic void area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles transformed into a huge storm. Even a powerful quasi-saint with two corpses could not see anything at this time, and did not even dare to get close.

Suddenly, the chaotic sword light that had fallen into the thirty-six chaotic heavens emerged from the darkness, transforming into thirty-six rays of light. Silently, it tore through the boundless chaotic energy, illuminating the thirty-six chaotic heavens with great brightness, and fell towards the center of each chaotic heaven.

The next moment, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls shattered, emitting mournful cries, but at the same time, countless streams of earth, water, wind, and fire emerged one after another.

This scene is far more powerful than the grandeur of Nuwa when she created the Nuwa Heaven.

Upon seeing the earth, water, wind, and fire emerge, Li Xuanyang stood quietly in the void, his expression calm and unmoved, until the areas where the earth, water, wind, and fire spread grew larger and larger, gradually about to merge into one.

Li Xuanyang suddenly summoned the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact in his hand, which transformed into a chaotic sword light once again, falling into the earth, wind, water, and fire, drawing out the pure and turbid energies.

"The two energies of purity and turbidity!" Li Xuanyang's eyes narrowed, and he pointed to the three flowers of his primordial spirit, summoning the Dao-attaining artifact, the Innate Yin-Yang Two Elements Divine Diagram, which fell into the two energies of purity and turbidity, transforming into two paths of Innate Yin-Yang Two Elements, one Yin and one Yang.

The yang qi combines with the clear qi and rises, while the yin qi combines with the turbid qi and sinks.

It is unknown how much time passed, but it gradually took shape as the sky and the earth.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang nodded in satisfaction. The next moment, he waved his hand and sent out a golden divine light into the world, manifesting the enormous Yellow Plum, which resembled a world tree, piercing through the thirty-six heavens and earth and supporting it.

"Five fellow Daoists!" Li Xuanyang called out softly, revealing all the Chaos Dao Laws within his body and merging them with the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram. The Five Elemental Bodies each transformed into a ray of light, falling into the world and giving rise to the five innate Five Elements Dao Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

From chaos arose Yin and Yang, which in turn gave rise to the Five Elements, becoming the foundation of heaven and earth and the origin of the world.

"Hetu Luoshu, go!" Li Xuanyang suddenly summoned the Hetu Luoshu, which he had just perfected, and it transformed into two beams of light that merged into the Hetu Luoshu. Gradually, the mountains and rivers were derived from the laws of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, which were very similar to the primordial land.

Yet it is not the same; it is not one whole land, but rather divided into thirty-six lands, each of which is a world unto itself.

"We're still missing the Zhou Tian Star Array!" With a thought, Li Xuanyang activated the Zhou Tian Star Array in the starry sky, drawing upon the power of countless Zhou Tian stars, which shone with boundless starlight and converged on the thirty-six worlds, eventually forming sun, moon, and stars, transforming into a vast and boundless starry sky.

At the same time, the origin of the world gradually became complete, as if a ray of spiritual light was born, gathering the power of various laws, no more and no less, exactly three thousand, and strands of vitality began to appear.

"I urge the three fellow Daoists to transform themselves into the Dao!" Li Xuanyang shouted again, immersing his mind in the thirty-six worlds.

“That’s only right!” The three Taoists chuckled and revealed their true forms as three innate twelve-petal lotus flowers. They fell into the world and merged with its origin, transforming into the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, or the Human Dao, completely filling in all the gaps in the world and presenting a true world.

At the same time, Huang Zhongli densely covers every world, with countless branches and leaves stretching out in all directions, absorbing the chaotic energy and transforming it into the power of the world's origin, constantly strengthening heaven and earth.

"Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless, these thirty-six worlds are the Xuanhuang Realm!" Li Xuanyang stood above the chaotic void, looking at the thirty-six worlds in front of him. It was as if he could control everything in the world, penetrate every inch of the world, and even with a thought, endless rules would be generated.

It's like entrusting your primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao; all kinds of spells and supernatural powers can be generated at will.

"Could this also be one of the Primordial Dao Fruits?" Li Xuanyang's heart stirred, and he stepped into the Xuanhuang Realm, which immediately caused many strange phenomena to occur. Purple qi came from the east for 30,000 miles, and myriad rays of light dyed the heavens.

The next moment, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man emerged, presenting the three directions of the universe. Gradually, three Daoists appeared: the White Lotus Daoist, the Purple Lotus Daoist, and the Black Lotus Daoist. Each of them was surrounded by the laws of the Great Dao, and countless rich primordial auras emanated from them, filling the entire world and causing countless laws to arise.

"No wonder that after Hongjun Daozu broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he still chose to merge his body with the Dao. This method is truly wonderful." Li Xuanyang felt that as the world became more perfect, his understanding of the laws of the Great Dao became more and more complete. He even felt that as long as he was willing, he could break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm by merging his primordial spirit into the world.

This is only one world created by Li Xuanyang, far inferior to the primordial world.

It is conceivable that when Hongjun Daozu chose to merge with the Dao, the improvement of his own Dao realm was immeasurable, and he could even continuously improve his Dao realm along with the prehistoric world.

It can be said that the greatest opportunity in the primordial world is the primordial world itself. Not only was it created by the Great God Pangu, but it also contains the Great God Pangu himself, making it far superior to those other worlds.

Furthermore, if the world created by Li Xuanyang can be considered a kind of Primordial Dao Fruit, then the Primordial World itself has already transcended the Primordial Dao Fruit and is at the level of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal or higher.

Of course, Hongjun Daozu only merged with the Dao with his body, not transformed into the Heavenly Dao.
