Chapter 187 The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror (Please Subscribe)
The sound of the Chaos Bell rang out again, and suddenly a raging fire broke out in the previously frozen spatial storm, burning in the void and transforming into a gray sea of ​​fire that spread out and covered hundreds of millions of miles of void.

The next moment, the raging Chaos True Fire soared into the sky, even obscuring the brilliance of the sun and stars. It ignited the spatial storms and the earth, wind, water, and fire, transforming them into a vast sea of ​​fire that illuminated the primordial world, displaying divine might.

"The four swords are suspended high in the void, forming a sword formation. It seems to be of boundless divine power, but in reality it is empty and unreal, with an unstable foundation."

A cold laugh faintly echoed from within the Chaos True Fire, and then the Chaos True Fire spread towards the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"Fellow Daoist is right. The Heavenly Dao Saint is nothing more than this, a mere incarnation of Pangu's primordial spirit."

A soft laugh echoed in the void once more, followed by a burst of light that manifested a Primordial Chaos Whisk and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. Together, they transformed into three thousand innate laws, which descended upon the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

In an instant, the Chaos Bell, the Chaos True Fire, and the three thousand innate laws, as soon as they landed on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, suddenly changed, each rushing into the formation towards the east, west, and south gates.

The Divine Rebellion within the formation seemed to have been prepared in advance, almost simultaneously unleashing the Chaos Treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, which transformed into a black divine light and crashed towards the North Gate.

As a result, magical treasures and supernatural powers came from all four gates—east, west, south, and north—some aimed at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, some at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, some at the Immortal Trapping Sword, and some at the Immortal Annihilation Sword, seemingly having a great understanding of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"Chaos Clock!"

"Chaotic True Fire!"
"Three thousand innate laws!"

Seeing the spiritual treasures and divine abilities falling into the formation, Daoist Shangqing's eyes narrowed. The three of them were at least at the peak of the second-corpse quasi-saint realm, and the strongest had even reached the third-corpse quasi-saint realm. Whether it was the Chaos Bell and the Chaos True Fire or the three thousand innate laws, none of them were ordinary spiritual treasures and divine abilities, and their divine power was extremely awe-inspiring.

Moreover, he was extremely clear about the mysterious changes of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and immediately went for the four Zhuxian swords on the four gates.

Even more so, the Shangqing Daoist faintly sensed a trace of aura, seemingly very similar to the World-Destroying Millstone. "How do you know the mysteries of my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!"

Apart from Hongjun Daozu, neither Taiqing Daoren nor Yuqing Daoren had ever entered the formation to witness the full mysteries of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

But these people knew it all perfectly well.

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Shangqing thought of Shen Ni's words earlier, "Could it be that Demon Ancestor Rahu?"

Thinking of this, Daoist Shangqing directly pushed the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to its limit. Instantly, boundless destructive energy surged out from inside and outside the formation, spreading endless killing opportunities and turning into a hazy gray area. Streams of chaotic sword light emerged and collided with the Chaos Bell, Chaos True Fire, the Three Thousand Innate Laws, and the World-Destroying Millstone.

"Sizzle..." A series of ear-piercing sounds rang out, followed by a deafening roar. The chaotic void spanning billions of miles shattered once again, as if it had turned into a chaotic expanse. Boundless earth, wind, water, fire, and spatial fragments flew and fell towards the primordial land.

The earthquake shook the southern and inland parts of the prehistoric world, and even the immortal volcano trembled, creating a terrifying scene.

"Not good!" Li Xuanyang was startled. He couldn't continue watching the battle. He waved his hand and summoned the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, which hung high above Qingyuan Mountain. It transformed into a sky full of black and white divine light, spreading in all directions and scattering countless rays of light, freezing the earth within a range of billions of miles.

Immediately afterwards, countless black and white divine lights swept towards the void, blocking the falling earth, wind, water, fire, and spatial fragments, turning them into nothingness.

Suddenly, a phoenix cry rang out from within the Undying Volcano, and golden flames appeared out of thin air, protecting the area around the Undying Volcano.

On the primordial inland land, divine light and spiritual treasures also emerged, spreading out and colliding with the flying earth, wind, water, fire, and spatial fragments. It took a long time before they gradually subsided.

However, a dazzling light erupted once again in the void. Countless chaotic sword lights collided with the black divine light. The supreme cultivation and divine power of the Primordial Golden Immortal and the aura of the Great Dao Laws overflowed, and another loud bang rang out, much louder than the previous one.

The earth, wind, water, fire, and spatial fragments that had just subsided began to fly down again, as if repeating the earth, wind, water, and fire phenomenon. This time, the power was far greater than before, shattering many divine lights and causing spiritual treasures to shake, eliciting cries of alarm as they fell onto the primordial land.

"Innate Profound Yang Divine Light, rise!" Li Xuanyang frowned slightly, circulated the Innate Profound Yang True Scripture within his body, and unleashed a golden Innate Profound Yang Divine Light, which landed on the Innate Yin Yang Two Elements Divine Diagram.

Instantly, a great burst of black and white divine light appeared, manifesting two innate Yin and Yang energies, one Yin and one Yang, which swept upwards into the void, once again blocking the flying earth, wind, water, fire, and spatial fragments.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation truly lives up to its reputation as the number one killing formation in the primordial world; it can actually rival the Chaos Treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone..."

“They even lured out Ri Biao, Ji Du, and the Nine-Winged Daoist!” Looking at the scene in the void, a solemn expression flashed across Li Xuanyang’s face.

The power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Chaos Treasure World-Destroying Millstone is self-evident. The Chaos Bell, Chaos True Fire, and the Three Thousand Innate Laws alone should not be underestimated.

Moreover, Li Xuanyang had dealt with them all before and was naturally aware of their extraordinary qualities. Ri Biao was the leader of the eight great ferocious beasts, Ji Du was the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and the Nine-Winged Daoist was a great supernatural being of the Dragon Clan, protected by the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. None of them were ordinary people.

At this moment, in the void above, the World-Destroying Millstone and the Divine Reversal burst out from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, their momentum undiminished. They joined forces with the Chaos Bell, the Chaos True Fire, the Primordial Whisk, and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, and plunged straight into the depths of the void, disappearing without a trace. Only a faint voice remained, reaching the ears of the Shangqing Daoist.

"The true Pangu sect is nothing special. Next time, I will definitely retrieve the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

"A cowardly coward!" Daoist Shangqing sneered, waved his hand to retrieve the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"No wonder Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang was so cautious back then. This Beast Emperor Shen Ni is indeed extraordinary. Not only does he possess the Chaos Treasure World-Destroying Millstone, but his cultivation and supernatural powers are also not to be underestimated."

At this point, Shangqing Daoist vaguely felt that Shenni had not fully displayed his Taoist skills and supernatural powers, and had only relied on the World-Destroying Millstone to deal with his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"And what about the three powerful beings outside the formation? I wonder what their origins are?"

"Could it be a ferocious beast like the Golden Turtle?"

"Or perhaps, these people are related to the Demon Ancestor Rahu that Shen Ni mentioned?" Shangqing Daoist's expression grew increasingly grim as he thought of the Demon Ancestor Rahu and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Shen Ni and the others seemed to know his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation inside and out; otherwise, even with help from outside the formation, Shen Ni would not have been able to escape from it.

"If that's the case, it's quite troublesome. Unless we make some changes to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, as Shen Ni said, and use a supreme treasure to suppress the formation!" Shangqing Daoist couldn't help but show a troubled expression. Although he was not lacking in innate spiritual treasures, he didn't have a single item that could suppress the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"It seems I have no choice but to consult with Fuxi and Fellow Daoist Xuanyang."

Fuxi attained enlightenment through array formations, while Li Xuanyang possessed the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Array and the Innate Yin-Yang Two Elements Array. Both of them were unparalleled in their mastery of array formations throughout the primordial world.

The next moment, a cloud of light rose beneath Shangqing Daoist's feet, heading towards Biyou Palace. He planned to return and make some arrangements before heading to Huoyun Cave in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens to visit Fuxi, Li Xuanyang, and others.

Li Xuanyang, in Qingyuan Mountain, saw that the void above had completely calmed down. Just as he was about to retrieve the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, a glimmer of inspiration suddenly arose in the darkness, and he subconsciously looked up at the void.

On the vast and desolate land, as the earth shook, countless beams of innate spiritual light shot out, numbering no less than a dozen.

Li Xuanyang's expression changed slightly. These innate spiritual lights were clearly signs that an innate spiritual treasure was about to be born, and they were very similar to the signs that appeared before the innate spiritual treasure, the Sun Wheel, was born.

Although more than ten innate spiritual lights manifested together this time, they varied in strength and were far less intense than the last time. Most of them were merely innate magical artifacts that barely reached the level of innate beings, with only a few being true innate spiritual treasures.

However, the manifestation of such a scene is still quite astonishing.

"True Man, True Man!" Seeing Li Xuanyang gazing at the beams of innate spiritual light shooting into the sky and suddenly lost in thought, Yu Xuzi couldn't help but whisper to Li Xuanyang a few times.

With so much innate spiritual light, Yu Xuzi was momentarily at a loss as to what had caused it. Seeing the slight change in Li Xuanyang's expression, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. For Li Xuanyang to show such an expression, this innate spiritual light must be extraordinary.

"Does the True Person know the reason for so much innate spiritual light?"

"Could it be related to the battle in the void just now?"

Upon hearing Yu Xuzi's words, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and retrieved the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram back into his primordial spirit. "The innate spiritual light soars into the sky, which is an omen of the birth of an innate spiritual treasure."

"A Primordial Spiritual Treasure has appeared!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xuzi was dumbfounded and muttered to himself, "How is it possible that so many Primordial Spiritual Treasures have appeared?"

Even at the height of the Pure Yang lineage, there were only a handful of innate spiritual treasures.

However, there were no fewer than a dozen innate spiritual lights before them.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyang showed a strange expression. In the past, after the three sermons at Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun clearly stated that he had placed a group of innate spiritual treasures on the Treasure Distribution Cliff outside the palace, and asked everyone in the palace to go and find them.

Unexpectedly, the White Lotus Daoist took over the Treasure Sharing Cliff midway, causing many innate spiritual treasures to fall into the prehistoric world. Kong Xuan's innate five elements spiritual pearl was obtained in this way.

However, some of these innate spiritual treasures fell into the primordial world, concealing their secrets. Apart from a few that were obtained by cultivators by chance, the rest remained hidden.

Just now, the great battle between Shangqing Daoist and Shenni and others caused the southern and inland parts of the prehistoric world to shake violently, causing many innate spiritual treasures to manifest on their own and drawing innate spiritual light into the sky.

Now that calamities have arisen and the secrets of heaven are in chaos, people only know that innate spiritual treasures have been born in the primordial world, but they do not know their specific origins.

At this moment, many cultivators had already ridden auspicious clouds, left their respective dojos, and headed towards the direction of the innate spiritual light.

"If I'm not mistaken, these innate spiritual treasures must have fallen from the Treasure Dividing Cliff into the primordial world years ago." "What, do you want to go and try your luck?" Li Xuanyang not only didn't hide this matter, but also told Yu Xuzi about the origin of these innate spiritual treasures.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Yu Xuzi was naturally tempted. Moreover, he had heard of the name of the Treasure Dividing Cliff before. The innate spiritual treasures that could be placed there by Dao Ancestor Hongjun were all rare and precious. If he were to obtain an innate spiritual treasure that matched his own attributes, he could forge it into a magic weapon for achieving enlightenment and break through to the realm of enlightenment.

Furthermore, it's probably only once in hundreds of millions of years that so many innate spiritual treasures have shown signs of being born at the same time.

"This disciple does indeed wish to try his luck and find a primordial spiritual treasure to forge into a Dao artifact, but I cannot accompany you to the Pure Yang Cave Heaven..." At this point, Yu Xuzi thought of the Pure Yang Cave Heaven and couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation.

Seeing Yu Xuzi's hesitation, Li Xuanyang chuckled. Cultivators naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity. "What's there to hesitate about? The appearance of innate spiritual treasures is a rare sight. Even I haven't encountered one many times. As for Chunyang Cave Heaven, I can go there myself."

"Thank you, Master!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xuzi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Li Xuanyang to express his gratitude.

"No need for that!" Li Xuanyang chuckled, parted ways with Yu Xuzi, and walked towards Chunyang Cave Heaven, ignoring the newly emerged innate spiritual treasure.

With Li Xuanyang's current level of cultivation and supernatural abilities, he would be completely useless unless it was a rare and precious high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Moreover, most of the artifacts that have been created recently are innate magical artifacts, which are no longer of any interest to Li Xuanyang.

A moment later, Li Xuanyang arrived at the entrance of the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, looked into the void, sighed slightly, waved his hand and released a beam of innate Xuan Yang divine light, which fell into the void and immediately caused a ripple.

The next moment, the formation mentioned by Yu Xuzi was activated, and the innate pure yang energy manifested, forming a formation, which was the Innate Pure Yang Grand Formation.

When Li Xuanyang first came to Chunyang Cave Heaven, he had sensed the aura of this formation, but he had never entered the formation to take a closer look.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity has now arisen.

Looking at the Primordial Pure Yang Formation, Li Xuanyang's face showed a hint of sadness. The golden Primordial Pure Yang Divine Light on his body soared into the sky, shattering the space, and he stepped into the formation.

The next moment, the golden innate Xuan Yang divine light flashed and transformed into the purest and most yang, creating a path that led directly into the Pure Yang Cave Heaven from within the innate Pure Yang Grand Array.

Following the road, they arrived at Chunyang Cave. Looking at the scene before him, Li Xuanyang frowned. Everywhere he looked, there were dilapidated palaces and collapsed mountains. He could even faintly sense the residual aura of the True Fire of the Sun.

It is evident how fierce the battle between Chunyang Daoist and Taiyi was, almost leaving Chunyang Cave Heaven in ruins.

Even after countless years, it has never recovered.

“Donghuang Taiyi!” Li Xuanyang frowned slightly, and without any cloud light emerging from his feet, he walked step by step into the depths of Chunyang Cave Heaven. Along the way, he could vaguely see familiar scenery from the past.

After traveling an unknown distance within the Pure Yang Cave, Li Xuanyang suddenly sensed the gathering of innate pure Yang energy from afar, radiating a golden glow.

These rays of light are the overflow of rich, innate pure Yang energy, extremely dazzling, and can only manifest in places where innate pure Yang energy gathers.

However, just as Li Xuanyang was about to approach, the golden light suddenly flashed and receded, as if it had disappeared into thin air.

"Huh!" Li Xuanyang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. A golden cloud of light flashed beneath his feet, and he arrived directly in front of him.

The place where the innate pure yang energy had gathered had suddenly split open from the middle, with a huge crack dividing it in two.

“This doesn’t seem to be a trace left by the battle between Fellow Daoist Chunyang and Taiyi. It’s more like a change caused by the earthquake that shook the heavens and the earth.”

Just as Li Xuanyang was thinking about this, a burst of golden light suddenly shot out from the depths of the crack. It was extremely pure Yang and originated from the same source as the innate pure Yang divine light of the Pure Yang Daoist.

"Innate Pure Yang Spiritual Light!" Li Xuanyang's eyes shone brightly with golden light, and he immediately thought of the Pure Yang Sword, the companion spiritual treasure of the Pure Yang Daoist.

This sword is an extremely rare innate pure yang sword, and the innate spiritual light it exudes is very similar to the one before us.

“It’s not the Innate Pure Yang Sword!” Li Xuanyang shook his head slightly. He did not sense the presence of the Innate Pure Yang Sword Qi, but only felt a wisp of Innate Pure Yang spiritual light.

"Could it be a primordial spiritual treasure nurtured by the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven?"

"Is it something left behind by Fellow Daoist Chunyang from years ago?" Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and sent out a golden divine light, which fell into the depths of the crack. He then swept the golden light from the depths into the air, transforming it into a ball of pure and innate primordial radiance.

Four innate divine runes emerged from it, radiating a rich innate pure yang divine light, which complemented the innate pure yang energy gathering in the air, as if they were in harmony.

Upon seeing these four innate divine runes, a strange expression appeared on Li Xuanyang's face, and he read them aloud, "Pure Yang Treasure Mirror!"

"The Primordial Pure Yang Treasure Mirror!"

"I wonder what mysteries this Primordial Pure Yang Treasure Mirror holds?" Li Xuanyang channeled his magic power into it, instantly revealing an exquisitely crafted treasure mirror that was neither gold nor jade. The back was engraved with innate talismans and the shapes of dragons and strange birds in the clouds. It appeared raised, yet there were no traces of them. It was neither carved nor painted, but rather naturally evolved.

At first glance, it radiates a magnificent golden light, containing the pure, innate yang divine light, condensing the essence of heaven and earth, and gathering the brilliance of the sun, creating a vast and boundless expanse.

"It's actually a top-grade innate pure yang spiritual treasure!" Li Xuanyang's expression became increasingly strange. He thought of Yu Xuzi earlier. If he hadn't gone to try his luck, but instead had come to the Pure Yang Cave Heaven with him...

He could have encountered the Primordial Pure Yang Treasure Mirror, forged it into a magic weapon for attaining enlightenment, and even taken the opportunity to transfer his pure Yang Daoist techniques and pure Yang divine light into the Primordial Number.

Li Xuanyang shook his head slightly, then waved his sleeve at the Innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror, summoning it into his hand. He was immediately surprised to find it heavy, exclaiming, "So heavy!"

Unlike innate divine weapons, innate spiritual treasures are not necessarily heavy.

However, this Primordial Pure Yang Treasure Mirror is different from ordinary Primordial Spiritual Treasures. Not only is it extremely heavy, but even Li Xuanyang, with his cultivation level, was slightly surprised.

"Even among top-grade innate spiritual treasures, this Innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror is the most superior, no less than Fellow Daoist Chunyang's companion spiritual treasure, the Pure Yang Sword."

This made Li Xuanyang even more curious about the origin of the Innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror.

Immediately, he manifested the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, transforming the Innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror in his hand into a golden light that fell upon a small cloud of auspiciousness, merging with his primordial spirit and creating a golden radiance.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang felt a jolt in his mind, and he closed his eyes to begin his deduction.

Within the primordial spirit, at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, with a deafening roar, countless rays of light, along with fragments of the thirty-six-petaled Chaos Green Lotus, fell into the primordial world.

One of the golden fragments flew into the southern part of the prehistoric world and landed in the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, where it merged with the source within the cave heaven.

Countless years later, it gradually merged with many innate pure yang energies and transformed into an innate pure yang treasure mirror deep in this place. After being nurtured for hundreds of millions of years, until the great battle between Shangqing Daoist and Shen Ni and others caused the heavens and earth to shake, even the Pure Yang Cave Heaven was affected, which led to the innate pure yang treasure mirror being born ahead of schedule and finally manifesting golden light.

If it is refined to perfection, it can be as large as the immeasurable and as small as a mustard seed, transforming into a sky full of innate pure yang divine light, illuminating all heavens, and possessing infinite wonders.

In addition, this treasure is most effective at suppressing evil spirits and other demonic energy.

"This Primordial Pure Yang Treasure Mirror is actually a fragment of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Chaos Green Lotus, which, together with the origin of the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, fused with a great deal of Primordial Pure Yang Qi, and thus transformed into a superior-grade Primordial Pure Yang spiritual treasure." Li Xuanyang gradually understood the origin of this object, which could be considered to have been conceived by chance, but it had never been fully conceived, which is why it had not truly been born.

The thirty-six primordial grotto-heavens all arose in response to the times, and the Pure Yang Grotto-heaven was no exception. It gave birth to the Pure Yang Daoist, which is one of them. Its accompanying spiritual treasure, the Pure Yang Sword, can be considered the second. The third is this innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror.

However, the latter was not the companion spiritual treasure of the Pure Yang Daoist.

This is quite similar to the place where Li Xuanyang took human form.

Although a primordial spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Lamp, was born deep within the valley, it was not his accompanying spiritual treasure.

The only difference is that when Li Xuanyang took human form, the innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Lamp, had already been conceived for a long time.

“If Fellow Daoist Chunyang hadn’t perished long ago, this item could have been a treasure for suppressing the fortune of the Chunyang lineage, and a supreme treasure for warding off demons.” After saying this, Li Xuanyang put away the Innate Chunyang Treasure Mirror in his hand, and with a flash of golden cloud beneath his feet, he left Chunyang Cave Heaven.

However, upon arriving outside Chunyang Cave, they did not see Yu Xuzi, indicating that he had not yet returned with the innate spiritual treasure.

Instead, a beam of light suddenly descended from the void and was drawn into Li Xuanyang's hand, where he used his divine sense to investigate it.

It was a jade talisman passed down by Fuxi and Hongyun, inviting Li Xuanyang to Huoyun Cave to discuss the matter of the Human Emperor.

"It seems that Fuxi and fellow Daoists Hongyun have also noticed something amiss."

"But that's perfect, I can discuss this with him." Li Xuanyang left behind a jade talisman, and with a flash of golden cloud beneath his feet, he headed towards the Fire Cloud Cave in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens.
