Chapter 213 The Primordial Yin and Yang Qi and the Antarctic Longevity Emperor (Please Subscribe)
In an instant, Li Xuanyang gradually revealed the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the auspicious cloud, which was about an acre in size, golden flowers fell down with the auspicious light.

Above it hangs a diagram of the innate Yin and Yang, which transforms into the black and white Qi of the innate Yin and Yang, emanating wisps of light and revealing the mysteries of the laws of the innate Yin and Yang.

The entire hall was filled with golden flowers, auspicious light, and countless other wondrous phenomena, creating a dreamlike and ethereal atmosphere.

The Antarctic Immortal also revealed the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit. Above a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, divine light soared into the sky. He began to comprehend with his primordial spirit, and over time, it gradually began to reflect and interact with the innate Yin-Yang duality divine diagram.

Of the many innate spiritual treasures that Li Xuanyang possessed, apart from the Innate Yin-Yang Lamp which he lent to the Three Absolutes Daoist for comprehension, only the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram contained the Innate Yin-Yang Laws, making it most suitable for the Antarctic Immortal to comprehend.

In addition, Li Xuanyang's explanation of the Primordial Profound Yang True Scripture and the Primordial Two Elements Law proceeded from the shallow to the deep, explaining all the mysteries and various supernatural powers and methods.

His words were truly exquisite, his tongue like thunder, his words like a shower of flowers, and his words like golden lotuses blooming from the earth, drawing countless primordial spiritual energies into the hall, which transformed into primordial spiritual mist, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

The innate Yin-Yang diagram shone brightly, revealing the scene of the beginning of heaven and earth, when all things were in chaos.

Within it, the Wuji (limitless) gives rise to the Taiji (great ultimate), which in turn gives rise to the Yin and Yang, the fundamental principles of the Great Dao.

The next moment, the two polarities give rise to the four symbols, and the four symbols give rise to the eight trigrams. This is the way of the two polarities.

The old man from the South Pole was completely captivated by what he saw, his mind gradually becoming so engrossed that he could not extricate himself.

Nearly three hundred years passed before Li Xuanyang finally fell silent, withdrew the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, and the Three Flowers retreated into seclusion, the auspicious clouds vanishing.

As the Antarctic Immortal gradually regained consciousness, he bowed deeply to Li Xuanyang on the cloud bed and said, "Disciple thanks Master for explaining the Dao!"

Looking down at the Antarctic Immortal, Li Xuanyang gave him a few words of advice: "From now on, you must cultivate diligently and never let your master down!"

Then, he suddenly waved his sleeve towards the outside of the hall, sending out a divine light that flew into Xuan Yang Mountain, landed in the Chaos Spirit Spring, picked up a primordial ninth-grade white jade lotus, and landed in the sky above the hall.

When the Antarctic Immortal saw Li Xuanyang wave his hand and retrieve a primordial ninth-grade white jade lotus, he couldn't help but examine it closely. He saw that this primordial ninth-grade white jade lotus was crystal clear like jade, with faint radiance flowing around it, clearly a primordial object.

"Could it be the innate white jade lotus from the Chaos Spirit Spring!" The Antarctic Immortal was startled and immediately thought of the innate white jade lotus that the Golden Crane and Silver Crane Boys had mentioned before.

Although the Antarctic Immortal had cultivated in Xuan Yang Mountain for a period of time, he had never set foot in the Chaos Spirit Spring. Now, he was seeing the Primordial White Jade Lotus for the first time.

"This item is called the Primordial White Jade Lotus. It is the seed of my Primordial Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus, which was cultivated in the Chaos Spirit Spring. It can also be classified as a Primordial item, making it a mid-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure."

As he spoke, Li Xuanyang pointed to the innate ninth-grade white jade lotus in the air and continued to say to the Antarctic Immortal: "Today, your master will bestow this innate ninth-grade white jade lotus upon you."

"You can refine it into your primordial spirit, and you will be protected by divine light, impervious to all magic and evil. It is just right for you to use as a protective shield."

As he spoke, Li Xuanyang pointed at the innate ninth-grade white jade lotus, turning it into a beam of white light that landed in front of the Antarctic Immortal.

Speaking of which, the many innate lotus flowers in the Chaos Spirit Spring were originally cultivated by Li Xuanyang, who intended to use them for the merging of his three corpses.

Later, unexpectedly, he obtained the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Innate Merit, which became useless. It was just right to give it to his disciples for protection.

Innate spiritual treasure!

The Antarctic Immortal was startled. He was well aware of the preciousness of innate spiritual treasures, and his teacher's innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus and the Chaos Spiritual Spring in Xuan Yang Mountain were renowned. How could he not know the extraordinary nature of the innate ninth-grade white jade lotus in front of him?

"This disciple thanks Master for bestowing this precious treasure!" The Antarctic Immortal bowed deeply to Li Xuanyang in gratitude.

Upon hearing the words of the Antarctic Immortal, Li Xuanyang chuckled and said to him, "This innate ninth-grade white jade lotus, although it is quite extraordinary, does not deserve the title of 'supreme treasure,' and you should not use it to forge a magic weapon for attaining enlightenment."

Upon hearing this, the Antarctic Immortal blushed. If Li Xuanyang hadn't said it, he might have actually considered using it to forge a Dao-attaining artifact.

This innate ninth-grade white jade lotus is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, an excellent material for cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm to forge a Dao-attaining artifact.

However, Li Xuanyang said not to use it to forge a magic weapon for attaining enlightenment, which made the Antarctic Immortal somewhat puzzled.

"If you wish to forge a Dao-enhancing artifact, you might as well travel to the prehistoric world first, test your own opportunities, and seek out the innate Yin-Yang Qi to forge your Dao foundation." Li Xuanyang seemed to see through the thoughts of the Antarctic Immortal and couldn't help but mention the innate Yin-Yang Qi.

Since the Antarctic Immortal has chosen to cultivate the Primordial Yin-Yang Law, it would be best to use the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi or a Primordial Spiritual Treasure containing the Primordial Yin-Yang Law to forge a Dao-enhancing artifact.

Although the innate ninth-grade white jade lotus is excellent, it is far inferior to the innate Yin-Yang Qi for the Antarctic Immortal.

"The Primordial Yin-Yang Qi!" The Antarctic Immortal firmly memorized it and planned to refine the Primordial Ninth Grade White Jade Lotus. Following Li Xuanyang's instructions, he set off to travel through the prehistoric world to find the whereabouts of the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi.

"No need to overthink it, just try your luck." Seeing the Antarctic Immortal deep in thought, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but give him a word of advice. Opportunities are never something that can be forced, and nowadays, innate treasures in the prehistoric world are becoming increasingly rare. Finding innate Yin and Yang Qi is by no means an easy task.

"Alright, you shall accompany me to the Heavenly Court." Li Xuanyang calculated the time and suddenly said to the Antarctic Immortal.

Nearly three hundred years have passed since they parted ways with the Xuanyuan tribe, and the time to go to the Heavenly Court is fast approaching.

Li Xuanyang plans to take the Antarctic Immortal with him this time, so that he can take the opportunity to finalize the matter of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

After Li Xuanyang finished speaking, the Antarctic Immortal was somewhat puzzled, wondering why his teacher would take him to the Heavenly Court.
"Teacher, is your journey to the Heavenly Court for the sake of Haotian and Yaochi?" The Antarctic Immortal carefully put away the innate ninth-grade white jade lotus, and suddenly thought of the Wu Clan's attack on the Heavenly Court. Could it be related to this matter?

"You'll understand when the time comes, no need to ask any more questions!" As he spoke, Li Xuanyang got up from the cloud bed, led the Antarctic Immortal out of the palace, summoned the Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants, waved his hand to take out the Bitter Bamboo, and instructed the two of them.

"This is a Bitter Bamboo, a plant with innate spiritual roots. You two should find a place where innate spiritual energy gathers, plant it in innate spiritual soil, and water it with innate spiritual water every day. Do not neglect it!"

The Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants had followed Li Xuanyang for many years and had even taken care of the banana tree and the innate gourd vine, so they were no strangers to innate spiritual roots.

When he saw the Bitter Bamboo with its innate spiritual root, he still looked surprised. His eyes were fixed on the remaining section of the Bitter Bamboo. After examining it for a long time, he nodded to Li Xuanyang and said, "Don't worry, Master. We still have plenty of innate spiritual water left in our mountains, enough to irrigate this Bitter Bamboo with its innate spiritual root."

Seeing the appearance of the Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants, Li Xuanyang gave them a few more detailed instructions. Then, a golden cloud flashed beneath his feet, and he led the Antarctic Immortal away from Xuanyang Mountain, heading towards the Heavenly Court.

"Where did you obtain the innate spiritual root, the Bitter Bamboo, from, teacher?" Above the golden clouds, the Antarctic Immortal was astonished by the innate spiritual root, the Bitter Bamboo, that Li Xuanyang had just taken out.

Innate spiritual roots are extremely rare, even rarer than innate spiritual treasures. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanyang casually took out an innate spiritual root, the Bitter Bamboo.

Although only a section of bamboo and its root system remain, it is still undoubtedly a naturally occurring spiritual root.

"This matter is related to the Human Emperor!" Upon hearing the words of the Antarctic Immortal, Li Xuanyang chuckled and told the Antarctic Immortal about the origins of the Bitter Bamboo, but did not mention the Bodhi Daoist.

"So it was obtained from one of the two Western Saints, the Guide Daoist." The Antarctic Immortal was speechless. Given his teacher's relationship with the two Western Saints, this request was definitely not a polite one, and might even be related to the Western Yi tribes and the Battle of Zhuolu.

Thinking of this, the Antarctic Immortal once again thought of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan and couldn't help but ask Li Xuanyang, "I have always had some doubts about the Human Emperor. May I ask you, Master, to enlighten me?"

"Hehe, do you want to ask about Xuanyuan and the human way?" Li Xuanyang glanced at the Antarctic Immortal and asked him with a smile.

"Master, you are wise!" The Antarctic Immortal said with a slight hesitation, "According to what Xuanyuan said that day, transforming the Way of Humanity into the Way of all living beings in the primordial world would benefit both of our senior uncles and you, Master. Why do you stop this?"

Not to mention the Antarctic Immortal, even many second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen sect present, and even quasi-saints with great supernatural powers, had doubts and questions.

Whether it's the Holy Emperor of all living beings in the primordial world or the transformation of the Kongtong Seal into a supreme treasure to suppress the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world, it's all a good thing. Li Xuanyang smiled and said to the Antarctic Immortal, "For me, this matter seems to be a good thing, as it can enhance the power of the Kongtong Seal. But how easy is it to use the Kongtong Seal to suppress the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world!"

The reason why the Kongtong Seal can suppress the human race's fortune, or even the fortune of humanity, is that it was created in response to the times, and the destiny of heaven is in harmony with the human race's fortune.

However, if the Way of Humanity is transformed into the Way of all living beings in the primordial world, then the human race is merely one of all living beings in the primordial world. How could the Kongtong Seal suppress the destiny of all living beings in the primordial world?
"Besides, it's not a good thing for your two senior uncles." Li Xuanyang sighed softly as he said this, seemingly with some emotion.

After hearing Li Xuanyang's words, the Antarctic Immortal became even more puzzled. How could the Holy Emperor of all living beings in the primordial world not be a good thing!
"This disciple is somewhat puzzled?" the Antarctic Immortal asked Li Xuanyang again.

“Your two senior uncles are holy emperors of the human race, which is why they can gather the fortune of the human race and entrust their primordial spirit to the human path. They are not holy emperors of the primordial beings.”

"Once the way of humanity is transformed into the way of all living beings in the primordial world, it will inevitably affect one's own cultivation. Unless one can gain the recognition of all living beings in the primordial world, one cannot truly become the Holy Emperor of all living beings in the primordial world for even a day."

"After all, the human race is just one of the many beings in the primordial world." Li Xuanyang explained the differences between the human way and the way of the primordial beings to the Antarctic Immortal.

To put it bluntly, once humanity becomes the way of all living beings in the primordial world, if Fuxi and Hongyun want to secure their position as Holy Emperors, they must not only gain the recognition of all living beings in the primordial world, but also remain secluded in the Fire Cloud Cave and not be tainted by the karma of all living beings in the primordial world.

Even if one wishes to transcend in the future and forge the Primordial Dao Fruit through one's own cultivation, one must settle the karmic ties with all living beings in the primordial world, which is extremely difficult.

Humanity is different; it is merely the convergence of the human race's fortune. In the primordial world, there is no eternal protagonist. Sooner or later, a new race will emerge, replacing humanity and becoming the new protagonist of the primordial world.

When the human race's fortunes decline, it will be the perfect time to break free from the shackles of humanity.

Furthermore, regardless of the circumstances, both of them are of human origin in this life, so how can they sit idly by and watch the way of humanity transform into the way of all living beings in the primordial world!
On the contrary, Xuanyuan not only integrated the aura of the Heavenly Dao, but also personally established the Way of the Primordial Beings, becoming the Holy Emperor of the Primordial Beings and wielding the new Way of Humanity or the Way of the Primordial Beings.

The Antarctic Immortal was dumbfounded. He never imagined that there were so many mysteries in the Way of Humanity and the Way of All Living Beings in the Primordial World, which even concerned the three Holy Emperors and could affect the overall situation of the Primordial World.

"Then why does this matter still conform to the will of Heaven?" The next moment, the Antarctic Immortal thought of another question.

"Hehe, this matter cannot be discussed!" Upon hearing the words of the Antarctic Immortal, Li Xuanyang merely chuckled and shook his head.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, transforming the Human Dao into the Dao of all living beings in the primordial world aligns with the Heavenly Dao's order, preventing the human race from achieving lasting prosperity and also limiting the human race's Holy Emperor, and even the Human Dao itself.

However, these are things that should be kept in mind but not spoken aloud.

After all, among the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the path of Heaven is supreme, followed by the path of Man and the path of Earth.

As they spoke, a golden cloud flashed beneath Li Xuanyang's feet, and they passed through the South Heavenly Gate, arriving outside the Lingxiao Palace. He descended the cloud and led the Antarctic Immortal into the palace.

The saints, Fuxi, and Hongyun had been there for some time. Even the two Western saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Nuwa from the Nuwa Heaven, had all appeared. Only the Shangqing Daoist had not yet arrived.

"Fellow Daoists, you've arrived very early!" Li Xuanyang glanced at everyone, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Why is Fellow Daoist Shangqing not here?"

"Fellow Daoist Shangqing is probably still in seclusion," Fuxi said after returning Li Xuanyang's greeting with clasped hands.

Li Xuanyang nodded. "When Fellow Daoist Shangqing emerges from seclusion, we should perhaps have a discussion with him about the Dao and see his swordsmanship."

The Four Swords of Zhuxian are inherently sword arts of slaughter. If they were to be transformed into a true sword scripture, they would be extraordinary and comparable to Li Xuanyang's Tai Xuan Sword Scripture.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Fuxi thought of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and nodded in agreement.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang’s words are excellent.” Hong Yun said with a joyful expression, “We can return to the overseas region and once again engage in a sword duel and discuss the Dao, allowing Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang and Fellow Daoist Shang Qing to compare their sword cultivation.”

"Fellow Daoist, you have quite the idea!" Upon hearing Hongyun's words, Li Xuanyang was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly at Hongyun. How did a perfectly good discussion on the Dao of Derivation turn into a sword duel between him and Daoist Shangqing?

Watching Li Xuanyang, Fuxi, and Hongyun chatting and laughing about Shangqing Daoist and the Dao of Swords, the group couldn't help but show strange expressions. It seemed that Shangqing Daoist had gone into seclusion to comprehend the Dao of Swords.

At this moment, Daoist Zhunti suddenly smiled and said to Daoist Taiqing, "This time, Emperor Xuanyuan has attained enlightenment and transformed the human way into the way of all living beings in the primordial world. This is in accordance with the will of Heaven. As the leader of the Human Religion, you can use this to educate all living beings in the primordial world. I would like to congratulate you!"

However, before Taiqing Daoist could speak, Nuwa coldly snorted at Zhunti Daoist, "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish to offer your congratulations to me?"

Aside from Li Xuanyang, Fuxi, and Hongyun, the person most affected by this matter is Nuwa. She is the Holy Mother of the Human Race and occupies a portion of the Human Race's fortune. She cannot simply transform into the Holy Mother of all living beings in the primordial world!

Even if Nuwa were willing, this would be absolutely impossible.

"Fellow Daoist is too kind!" Daoist Zhunti bowed slightly to Nuwa to express his apology.

Seeing this, Nuwa snorted coldly again and ignored Zhunti.

"Human matters are none of your concern, fellow Daoist." Daoist Taiqing glanced at Daoist Zhunti, said this indifferently, and then ignored him.

"Haotian and Yaochi invited us here, why have you been avoiding us all this time!" Yuqing Daoist suddenly said, glancing at the doorway.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Sage Yuqing."

The next moment, as the voice rang out, Haotian and Yaochi stepped into the Lingxiao Palace, cupped their hands and bowed to the crowd, saying, "Our cultivation and foundation have been damaged, which has caused us some inconvenience. That is why we are a little late. Please forgive us, sages, emperors and Xuan Yang Zhenren!"

When the topic turned to the foundation of one's cultivation, a hint of hatred flashed in Haotian's eyes, not only towards Zhu Rong and the other members of the Wu clan, but also towards the Purple Lotus Daoist and the Supreme Lord Laozi for their indifference.

Otherwise, with the Purple Lotus Daoist and the Supreme Lord Laozi presiding over the Heavenly Court, and the Zhou Tian Star Array protecting it, let alone the four Ancestral Witches such as Zhu Rong and a group of Great Witches, even if Di Jiang and Ping Xin came together, they would have a hard time conquering the Heavenly Court.

Everyone seemed to ignore Haotian's gaze and paid him no heed.

Even without the Wu tribe's attack on the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi would have had to reincarnate sooner or later, enduring hardships along the way.

This is the will of Heaven. Without experiencing all kinds of hardships in the world and tasting all the bitterness, spiciness, sourness, and sweetness, how can one manage the vast multitude of beings?

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Haotian's expression grew increasingly grim. However, he had no choice but to speak again, saying to everyone, "The reason I have invited all the saints, holy emperors and Xuan Yang Zhenren here is because Yaochi and I are about to be reincarnated and start cultivating again. Only after our merits are complete can we return to the Heavenly Court."

"During this period, we request that all the Sages, Holy Emperors, and True Man Xuanyang temporarily take charge of the Heavenly Court!"

Upon hearing this, even though everyone was prepared and had already guessed that Haotian and Yaochi were reincarnated and rebuilding their cultivation, this statement was met with disbelief.

However, his expression still changed slightly at this moment. After all, managing the affairs of the Heavenly Court was not something to be taken lightly. Not only could he wield the power of the Heavenly Court and manage the operation of the prehistoric world, but he could also take the opportunity to appoint living beings and cultivators to positions in the Heavenly Court, or even take charge of the group of Ren Water Peach Spirit Roots in the Peach Garden.

Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly said to Haotian and Yaochi, "The affairs of the Heavenly Court can be managed by the Ziwei Emperor and the other six Imperial Emperors."

"Furthermore, my disciple, the Antarctic Immortal, is born with the aura of good fortune and is perfectly suited to assume the position of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, thus completing the number of the Six Imperial Emperors!"

"What are the opinions of Your Majesties and fellow Daoists?"

"The Antarctic Longevity Emperor!" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, the Antarctic Immortal was greatly surprised. His teacher had actually appointed him as one of the Six Emperors of Heaven, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.
