Chapter 192 The Birth of the Human Emperor's Sword and the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array (Please Subscribe)
Left with no other choice, the Antarctic Immortal descended from his auspicious cloud and accompanied Xuandu to visit the Youxiong tribe.

However, just a few days later, golden light suddenly shot into the sky above the Youxiong tribe, overflowing with chaotic energy and even carrying a trace of the aura of a holy emperor. It manifested itself and swept across an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles, displaying an incredible sight.

The entire primordial void was dyed a golden yellow, emanating waves of holy emperor's pressure that shook the primordial spirit, causing countless living beings and cultivators to look up in horror at the void.

"The Xuanyuan Sword!" The Antarctic Immortal's primordial spirit trembled as he sensed the pressure emanating from above, which was remarkably similar to the Xuanyuan Sword he had given to Daoist Lingguan. He immediately sensed something amiss and was startled. He hurriedly got up and went outside to find Xuandu, asking, "Fellow Daoist, has something happened?"

"What caused this change?"

"Nothing has changed!" Xuan Du seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the panic of the Antarctic Immortal. He simply shook his head and said, "It's just an unusual phenomenon caused by the birth of the Human Emperor Sword!"

Xuandu's words only made things worse. Upon hearing this, the Antarctic Immortal's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "How could it be the emergence of the Human Emperor Sword!"

"Could it be the Xuanyuan Sword!" The Antarctic Immortal was suddenly startled.

After several days, he learned that the leader of the Youxiong tribe was named Xuanyuan. When he thought about the Xuanyuan Sword that Li Xuanyang had sent him, and the Human Emperor Sword that he had mentioned earlier when asked about the sword, how could he not notice something amiss?

Furthermore, the identity of Xuanyuan, who is currently mentioned as the Human Emperor Sword, is obvious: he is undoubtedly the Human Emperor who has not yet attained enlightenment.

The Antarctic Immortal's expression changed several times, and finally he smiled bitterly at Xuandu and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have really caused me a lot of trouble!"

Now, countless innate gods and demons have been reincarnated, attracting numerous cultivators to the human race. Among them are quasi-saints with great supernatural powers and disciples of saints, all of whom have come for the throne of the human emperor and the saint emperor.

Now, within the Youxiong tribe, strange phenomena are appearing all over the sky, reflecting in the primordial void, indicating the birth of the Human Emperor's Sword, which will surely attract countless cultivators and many human tribes.

"Fellow Daoist, I am merely acting according to the True Man's instructions." Xuan Du opened his eyes, revealing a hint of helplessness as he looked at the Antarctic Immortal. "Next, I would appreciate your assistance!"

Upon hearing Xuandu's words, the Antarctic Immortal frowned. He knew perfectly well that Xuandu had deliberately left him behind earlier, and a sudden shock struck him.

Since Xuanyuan is a human emperor who has not yet attained enlightenment, then this Taoist priest from Lingguan must also be no ordinary Taoist priest.

Xuan Du saw that the Antarctic Immortal was frowning and thought that the Antarctic Immortal was angry that he had tricked him down, so he was about to explain.

A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Disciple Xuanyuan requests an audience with Master!"

Such a commotion naturally could not be kept from Xuanyuan.

"Wait a moment!" Xuan Du remembered Li Xuan Yang's instructions and asked Xuan Yuan outside the door to wait a moment.

In the actual jade talisman, Li Xuanyang did not give many instructions. He only asked Xuandu to activate the Xuanyuan Sword to demonstrate the aura and power of the Human Emperor Sword, and then hand it over to Xuanyuan when the time was right.

In addition, there is a common method for body tempering, and that's all.

"I admit I was wrong in this matter, but since things have come to this, I beg you to stay and oversee the Youxiong tribe." Xuandu said to the Antarctic Immortal with a sincere expression, "Once the Human Emperor Sword is drawn, it will surely attract countless cultivators. Therefore, I beg you to help me. You must not let anything happen to Xuanyuan. I will personally apologize to you afterward!"

Upon hearing this, the Antarctic Immortal sighed deeply, nodded with a hint of helplessness, and indicated that he would do his best.

He then briefly discussed the details of the response with Xuandu before letting Xuanyuan in to talk about the Human Emperor Sword and the strange phenomena that filled the sky.

In a short time, news of the emergence of the Human Emperor's Sword spread along with the strange phenomena in the sky, causing a great uproar in the prehistoric world.

Within Xuan Yang Mountain, Li Xuan Yang had long anticipated the strange phenomena in the sky above and the aura displayed by the Human Emperor Sword. He just hadn't expected Xuan Du to be so decisive, activating the Human Emperor Sword in just a few months.

However, Yun Zhongzi, who was in the Netherworld, saw the strange phenomenon of the Human Emperor Sword being born, and then thought of the strange movements of the Witch Clan in the Eighteen Levels of Hell some time ago, so he hurriedly returned to Xuan Yang Mountain.

Seeing that his teacher seemed unmoved, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, now that the Human Emperor Sword has appeared, could you allow me and Senior Brother Kong Xuan to make a trip and retrieve it first, lest it fall into the hands of evil cultivators?"

Upon hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but laugh, "You need not worry about the Human Emperor Sword!"

"Master, you may not know this, but I fear the Witch Clan may have become involved." Yun Zhongzi's face showed a hint of solemnity. "I suspect that several Ancestral Witches have already gone to the Primordial World!"

"No need to pay attention!" Li Xuanyang shook his head slightly and said, "Besides, there is still some time before the Human Emperor Sword is born."

This time, the manifestation of the Human Emperor Sword is even more magnificent than the last time the innate spiritual treasure, the Sun Wheel, appeared, but it will be at least several decades before it is officially unveiled.

Therefore, for the time being, there is no need to pay attention to the Wu Clan or other cultivators, lest we make things worse.

Besides, there's no such thing as a Human Emperor's Sword being born!

“No!” Yun Zhongzi’s heart stirred. Whether it was the birth of the Human Emperor’s Sword or the arrival of the Ancestral Witches in the prehistoric land, it was obviously related to the Human Emperor. Given his teacher’s relationship with the two Holy Emperors, Fuxi and Hongyun, and the fact that he had protected the human race in the past, how could he be indifferent now!

Could there be some hidden meaning behind this?

Seeing Yun Zhongzi's confusion, Li Xuanyang smiled without saying a word, and instead talked to Yun Zhongzi about the Three Absolutes Daoist and Daoist supernatural powers.

On this day, Li Xuanyang suddenly reached out towards Xuanyang Mountain, and a portal appeared in the mountain-protecting array. A beam of light rushed in from it, flew into the palace, and landed in Li Xuanyang's hand.

Yun Zhongzi, who was deep in contemplation, only saw a flash of light before his eyes, and it had already flown into Li Xuanyang's hand. Looking up, he saw a golden jade talisman and couldn't help but look puzzled. "The jade talisman that Master always carries with him!"

"Have you all forgotten what I once said: anyone who obstructs the Human Emperor from attaining the Dao and returning to his throne will be killed without mercy!" Li Xuanyang looked at the jade talisman in his hand, his divine sense entering into it, and a trace of killing intent gradually arose around him.

Yun Zhongzi sensed the killing intent emanating from Li Xuanyang and was startled. He immediately thought of the Human Emperor Sword and the Witch Clan, and hurriedly asked Li Xuanyang, "Teacher, is it related to the Human Emperor Sword and the Witch Clan?"

Upon hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, Li Xuanyang's killing intent subsided, and he shook his head slightly, saying, "It has nothing to do with the Witch Clan, but rather with the Human Emperor Sword."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi's heart stirred. It seemed that, just as he had thought, there was indeed another hidden meaning.

“If you have nothing urgent to attend to, you may stay in the mountains to cultivate for the time being. Your master is going to the primordial wilderness.” Li Xuanyang put away the jade talisman and said to Yun Zhongzi.

"Disciple will respectfully obey Master's decree!" Yun Zhongzi bowed to Li Xuanyang and said.

After giving some instructions to Yun Zhongzi, Li Xuanyang left Xuanyang Mountain without saying much more, transforming into a golden cloud and heading towards the primordial land.

Since the Human Emperor Sword Omen displayed many strange phenomena, countless cultivators and human tribes have flocked to Xuanyuan Hill.

The closer they got to the Youxiong tribe, the stronger the chaotic aura and the pressure of the Holy Emperor became. Strands of golden light intertwined in the void of the Youxiong tribe, spreading in all directions.

Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles from the Youxiong tribe, cultivators stood in the void, while below them were densely packed human battle formations, besieging the Youxiong tribe amidst deafening battle cries.

The Youxiong tribe was equally unwilling to be outdone. Although their numbers were far fewer than those of the tribes that had come to besiege them, they relied on the body-forging methods taught by Li Xuanyang.

After decades of cultivation, the tribe members were all strong and powerful, and their bodies were so strong that they fought fiercely against the many tribes that came to attack them. This caused boundless evil energy to rise into the sky, dark clouds filled the air, and murderous intent was hidden everywhere.

Above the Youxiong tribe, beams of multicolored divine light spread, illuminating the land for thousands of miles. Outside, cultivators and humans used their magical powers to bombard the Youxiong tribe.

These cultivators, at the very least, possessed the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. In addition to the many Xuanmen cultivators who came, there were also many people of human origin, most of whom were reincarnations of innate gods and demons.

The leading cultivators were directing the group to form an array according to their positions, intending to break the array with the array itself.

Furthermore, in the void above, there were also cultivators hidden among them, their gazes fixed on the Youxiong tribe.

At this moment, inside the Youxiong tribe, Xuandu and the Antarctic Immortal sat cross-legged, offering up five spirit flags and a formation diagram, pouring their respective primordial spirit power into them to form a formation that protected an area of ​​ten thousand miles.

Even though the two had prepared in advance, and were protected by the Five Elements Flags and Five Elements Array Diagram lent by Li Xuanyang, they had already set up an array.

Unfortunately, neither of them was proficient in the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array of the Innate Realm. They only managed to set up a Five Elements Array, which was then cut off by the powerful cultivator who came to them.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Flags and the Five Elements Array Diagram are not ordinary spiritual treasures. They are known as invulnerable to all magic. Even setting up a Five Elements Array is no small matter.

The cultivators had been besieging the formation for over ten days, but they still couldn't break through it in the slightest. However, the two of them had exhausted their magical power and were now somewhat pale.

The group of cultivators outside had long been prepared for the siege of the Youxiong tribe and the capture of the Human Emperor Sword. However, they did not expect that the formation set up by Lingguan Daoist and Nanji Zi would be so troublesome. After more than ten days of siege, they had made no progress at all, which made them increasingly anxious.

Although the human race is not as powerful as the witch and demon races of yesteryear, it has two holy emperors, Fuxi and Hongyun, in charge. If this goes on for too long and attracts the arrival of the human holy emperors, not only will all our efforts be in vain, but even the Human Emperor's Sword will fall into the hands of the Youxiong tribe.

"Fellow Daoists, don't stand idly by! Seize the Human Emperor Sword first!" A cultivator dressed in human attire, holding a whisk, shouted anxiously into the void.

However, there was no movement in the void above.

Seeing this, the cultivator sneered and said, "The heavenly secrets are in chaos now, and the human race's fortune is scattered. The Human Emperor Sword is the object through which the Human Emperor proved his Dao. As long as we seize it, we may be able to attain the position of Holy Emperor like Fuxi and Hongyun!"

"Even if you fellow Daoists are not of human origin, you must have disciples or friends whose true spirits have been reincarnated into the human race. As long as you awaken your past life memories and learn your identity in the future, you can use the Human Emperor Sword to help them attain the Dao. In fact, you may even establish a sect within the Xuanmen like the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West, and be revered alongside them!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a charming laugh echoed from the void, "Since you fellow Daoists are unwilling to show yourselves, how about you hand over the Human Emperor Sword to me!"

The next moment, a beam of light suddenly descended and headed towards the Youxiong tribe.

"Hmph, the fairy seems unfamiliar; she is not a fellow cultivator from Zixiao Palace!"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Bihai, why bother with more words? Why not seize the Human Emperor Sword first?" "Haha, Fairy is right, let's seize the Human Emperor Sword first!"

In a short while, several beams of light descended from the void, each possessing the cultivation of a quasi-saint, and easily fell into the formation.

Seeing this, the others, though each with their own thoughts, followed suit.

Xuan Du's expression changed slightly upon seeing the several quasi-saints and great supernatural beings who had appeared. He had seen almost all of them before; they were all great supernatural beings who had listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, and he had even met them before. He never expected that they would dare to show themselves now to seize the Human Emperor Sword.

"Fellow True Immortals, have you forgotten the agreement we made with you Saints and True Immortal Xuan Yang in the past? The selection of the Human Emperor shall be determined by the destiny of the human race. How can we forcibly seize the Human Emperor Sword!" Xuan Du coldly shouted at the several Quasi-Saint Great Divine Powers within the formation.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly, and then someone sneered and said, "You juniors, how dare you mention Li Xuanyang?"

"If it weren't for his many schemes, how could Hongyun have so easily become one of the three emperors of the human race, the Earth Emperor, and attained the position of Holy Emperor?"

"Furthermore, the human race's fortune is now scattered. Anyone who obtains the human race's fortune has the opportunity to become the human emperor. How can this be considered a violation of the agreement?"

"Fellow Daoist is right!"

Hearing their words, Xuandu was both angry and anxious. However, Li Xuanyang had not yet appeared. He hurriedly said to the Antarctic Immortal, "Fellow Daoist, please take Xuanyuan and leave first. I will stop him!"

"Fellow!"

"How can I escape alone?" The Antarctic Immortal was startled, and his resentment towards Xuandu seemed to vanish completely.

"Master, your disciple will not leave!" Xuanyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Xuandu with unwavering determination.

Seeing that the two showed no intention of leaving, Xuandu was somewhat amused and exasperated. It seemed that he had not explained himself clearly, so he had no choice but to explain to them, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am Xuandu, a disciple of the Taiqing Sage. Lingguan is just an alias. Even if these cultivators break the formation, I don't think they would dare to do anything to me. At most, they will suffer some hardship."

"Xuandu!"

"Grand Master Xuandu, the disciple of the leader of the Human Sect!" The Antarctic Immortal and Xuanyuan were greatly surprised. They never expected that the Lingguan Daoist in front of them was actually the only direct disciple of the Taiqing Sage.

Before the two could react, a soft laugh suddenly came from within the Five Primordial Banners, "Hehe, young friend Xuandu, there's no need for such trouble!"

The originally unremarkable five spirit flags and array diagram suddenly shone brightly, revealing the original appearance of the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, and fell into the array.

The next moment, within the formation, the five innate flags fell into the five directions of east, south, west, north, and center, transforming into Taoist priests. The innate five elements formation diagram radiated countless rays of light, revealing the profound mystery of the innate five elements and five directions, transforming the original five elements formation into a grand innate five elements and five directions formation.

As soon as they entered the formation, the scene before them changed. The innate five elements law was generated, and the yin and yang five elements were reversed, suddenly creating a formation world that seemed to cover billions of miles of void. Metal, wood, water, fire and earth intermingled and presented all kinds of incredible mysteries, transforming into the five gates of east, south, west, north and center.

A blue lotus flag is hung on the east gate, a flaming flag is hung on the south gate, a plain cloud flag is hung on the west gate, a Xuanyuan water-controlling flag is hung on the north gate, and a Wu Ji apricot yellow flag is hung on the central gate. The air is filled with murderous intent and a sinister aura, which makes people feel afraid.

It can be said that there are five elements in the heavens and five directions on earth. The two interact with each other, generating and restraining each other, which can give rise to supreme divine power.

"The five elements in the primordial universe interact with each other, generating and restraining each other, and the five directions are constantly changing!"

"This is Li Xuanyang's Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array!"

"Leave quickly! This formation is too powerful to linger!"

Bihai Daoist and the others' expressions changed drastically. They had all witnessed the power of the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation and knew how formidable it was. Even a Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power would perish if he fell into the formation.

The group couldn't help but shout angrily, each unleashing their magical treasures and abilities, intending to take advantage of the unstable formation to escape.

"Please wait, fellow Daoists!" A soft laugh echoed from within the formation, and the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation suddenly spread out, with five innate divine lights interacting with each other, turning the formation into a chaotic void.

This caused Bihai Daoist and his companions to not only fail to break out of the formation, but instead to become trapped deep within it, with chaotic energy emanating and falling from all directions.

Those below the level of Quasi-Saint, upon being enveloped by the Chaos Qi, invariably cried out in agony, "Chaos Qi!"

"This is the energy of chaos!"

Fellow Daoists, save me!

Inside the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, screams echoed endlessly. The sound was so horrific that even several Quasi-Saints and Great Divine Powers, including Daoist Bihai, paled at the sight.

Xuan Du, the Antarctic Immortal, and Xuan Yuan, who were inside the formation, were dumbfounded. The numerous cultivators that they had been struggling to deal with were completely eroded by the chaotic energy within the formation in just a short time, their true spirits were gone, and even cultivators with the cultivation level of Great Luo Golden Immortals met such an end.

"This is the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array of True Person Xuanyang!"

"How domineering!"

"The teacher once said that the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array of the Primordial Nature, though seemingly only for defense, can actually refine all things into chaos, and its power is extraordinary."

"Now it seems that its power is not merely extraordinary, but utterly domineering, perhaps even comparable to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of Uncle-Master Shangqing!" Xuandu also felt the terrifying power of the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation, "However..."

Xuan Du thought of the five Taoists who had just appeared, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. Xuan Yang Zhenren had not come, so where did these five Taoists come from?

However, outside the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, a series of chanting sounds suddenly rang out, and countless golden lights of merit appeared. A Taoist priest emerged from it, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe and holding a Seven Treasures Tree in his hand.

"These five fellow Daoists are transformed from the Five Elements Flags of the Primordial Chaos!" Daoist Zhunti's eyes flashed with golden light as he looked at the Five Elements Flags of the Primordial Chaos and Five Directions Formation, revealing a hint of surprise.

He had previously felt that the five spirit flags and array diagrams that Xuandu and the Antarctic Immortal had summoned seemed somewhat unusual, but he never expected that they would turn out to be Li Xuanyang's innate five-directional flags and innate five-element array diagrams.

To his even greater surprise, the Five Primordial Banners suddenly transformed into five Daoists, each possessing the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint. They also deployed the Five Primordial Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, whose power seemed undiminished, instead exhibiting a sense of perfect unity.

"Please, Sage, save us!" Upon hearing the voice of Daoist Zhunti, the Bihai Daoist and the others inside the formation couldn't help but show joy and shouted out in unison towards the outside of the formation.

"Hmph!" Xuanhuo Daoist snorted coldly, pointed at the Southern Flame Banner in the sky, and it shone brightly, turning into a sky full of flames, heading towards Bihai Daoist and the others.

"How dare you do this!" The group roared angrily, each summoning their magical treasures and divine light to protect themselves, thus blocking the flames that filled the sky.

"Fellow Daoists, do not be hasty!"

"Once I obtain the Human Emperor Sword, I will rescue you fellow Daoists from the formation." Daoist Zhunti chuckled and strode towards the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation.

Upon hearing Zhunti Daoist's words, the Five Elements Dharma Bodies within the formation changed their expressions slightly. They hadn't expected that Zhunti Daoist had also come for the Human Emperor Sword. The group couldn't help but exchange glances.

It seems that the Western religion does not have any quasi-saints or great supernatural beings or second-generation disciples whose true spirits have been reincarnated, so why would it need to obtain the Human Emperor's Sword!

"This matter is troublesome!" Xuan Shui Dao Ren frowned. "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang has not yet arrived. I'm afraid he was delayed by something on the way."

"In this case, we can only rely on the power of the formation to hold off Zhunti for now and wait for Fellow Daoist Xuanyang to arrive!"

“Fellow Daoist is right!” Xuanjin Daoist nodded, then his eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, “It’s a good opportunity to let Zhunti witness the true power of our Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Formation!”

Upon hearing this, the other Taoists nodded in unison.

"I would be grateful if my young friend Xuandu could lend me a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Xuandu was stunned and hurriedly said to the group, "This disciple's cultivation is too low, how could I possibly..."

Before Xuandu could finish speaking, he felt a hazy gray light suddenly emerge from the depths of his primordial spirit, rushing into his body and transforming his entire body into a beam of light. This light merged into the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, where a spiritual pearl faintly appeared, used to suppress the array. This pearl was none other than the Chaos Pearl, a supreme treasure of chaos.

The next moment, several soft shouts suddenly rang out from within the formation, "Dongfang Xuanmu!"

"Western Mystic Metal!"

"Southern Mystic Fire!"

"Northern Mysterious Water!"

"Central Mystic Earth!"

"The five elements and five directions of the primordial universe are united as one, forming a unified whole!"

The scene within the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array changed. The Primordial Five Directions Flags and the Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram, along with the Chaos Pearl, were completely integrated into the array.

This caused the five elements and five directions of the primordial world to disappear completely, transforming into a hazy, chaotic mass that was neither distinguishable by yin and yang nor by the five elements, nor by east, west, south, north, or center. This completely revealed the power of the primordial five elements and five directions grand formation.

After receiving the jade talisman from Xuandu, Li Xuanyang headed towards the prehistoric land. However, just as he passed the coast of the East Sea, a sudden divine light blocked his path.

A beam of light descended from the void, upon which stood a Taoist priest. He bowed respectfully to Li Xuanyang and said with a smile, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuanyang!"
