Chapter 215 The Sun, Moon, and Stars Banner and the God of Fire, Zhurong, and the God of Water, Gonggong (Please Subscribe)
The original Purple Heaven Divine Thunder transformed directly into the Heavenly Divine Thunder, its power increasing several times over, even surpassing the power unleashed by Xuanyuan.

Countless ancient beings and cultivators were all shaken and looked up into the void.

Fuxi and Hongyun, inside the Fire Cloud Cave, were suddenly jolted awake. They opened their eyes and looked out of the cave, only turning their gaze away after a long while.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with horror.

"Such powerful force, such domineering divine lightning."

"It seems that another change has occurred in the primordial world, and there is truly no peace!" Fuxi sighed slightly, but a hint of doubt gradually appeared on his face.

"Why has the Heavenly Punishment been triggered once again in the primordial world?" A hint of doubt appeared in Hongyun's eyes.

However, the next moment, the two of them were shocked. They felt a chaotic sword light emerge from the darkness and fall into the heavenly punishment, unleashing supreme divine power that shattered the heavenly punishment and even turned the heavenly lightning into nothingness.

"Why does it feel like the aura of Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's Undying Chaos Body?" Fu Xi's eyes suddenly showed a strange light. He clearly sensed a familiar feeling from the Chaos Sword Light, which was extremely similar to the aura of Li Xuan Yang's Undying Chaos Body.

However, this chaotic sword light was even more majestic, and even faintly exuded a divine might that seemed to have created the heavens.

Even though Fuxi was the Holy Emperor of the human race, he still felt a sense of unease.

"Could this matter be related to Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang?" Hong Yun's heart stirred, and he also sensed a trace of the Chaos Undying Body's aura.

"If it really is Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang, how could it suddenly trigger Heavenly Punishment?" Hong Yun became increasingly puzzled by this.

"Could it be related to the Five Emperors?" Fuxi couldn't help but think of the Five Emperors, and subconsciously glanced into the depths of the Fire Cloud Cave before shaking his head.

If it is truly related to the Five Emperors, then Fire Cloud Cave must have been affected by divine punishment at this time.

When Li Xuanyang was refining the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact, Fuxi had already perished in the Great Calamity of the Witch and Demon, and Hongyun had not yet been reincarnated, so he was unaware of this matter.

Changxi, who was on the Taiyin Star, also frowned. She had been meditating and practicing her Qi, and her primordial spirit was wandering in the void when she was startled by the aura in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens. She was extremely horrified and withdrew her primordial spirit into her body, looking towards the void.

Dark clouds filled the void, countless bolts of lightning rolled and generated, and divine punishment manifested once again.

Just as Changxi was feeling a bit puzzled, she sensed the emergence of the Chaos Sword Light and immediately recognized it: "This is my teacher's Chaos Sword Light!"

The next moment, Changxi suddenly stood up, her body flashing with Taiyin divine light, transforming into a beam of light, and headed towards the location of the Heavenly Punishment.

However, when Changxi arrived, the dark clouds in the void seemed to be dissipating, and even the gathered divine lightning dimmed.

Li Xuanyang, amidst the Heavenly Punishment, gazed calmly at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, showing no sign of panic. Instead, a hint of a smile appeared on his face, causing Changxi to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Disciple Changxi greets Master!" Changxi dared not step into the area covered by the Heavenly Punishment, and could only bow to Li Xuanyang from afar.

"You've come at the perfect time!" Seeing Changxi arrive, Li Xuanyang chuckled, pointed to the Heavenly Lightning gathered by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and said to Changxi, "It's a good opportunity to experience the power of creation contained in the Heavenly Punishment and the Heavenly Lightning. It will be of great benefit to you when you refine the Heavenly Artifact in the future."

"A divine artifact for opening the heavens!" Upon hearing this, Changxi's face showed a look of realization, and she subconsciously blurted out, "Is this Heavenly Punishment and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment because of Master's divine artifact for opening the heavens?"

“That’s right!” Hearing Changxi’s words, Li Xuanyang nodded and said to Changxi, “This heavenly punishment was brought about by my Pangu Sword.”

"The artifacts of creation are not things of the primordial world. They are inherently contrary to the laws of heaven. If you intend to refine the artifacts of creation in the future, you must not do so in the primordial world, but must go to the chaotic void."

Among the disciples of the Xuan Yang Mountain lineage, only Kong Xuan and Chang Xi have cultivated the Chaos Undying Body Technique, and they may be able to refine the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact in the future.

"Pangu Sword!" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's instructions, Changxi was startled. Named after the great god Pangu, could it be that the divine artifact her teacher had forged was related to the great god Pangu?

"Did the teacher's Pangu Sword survive the heavenly punishment?" Changxi asked curiously.

"No!" Li Xuanyang shook his head and said, "My Pangu Sword, though it can obliterate heavenly punishment, cannot truly obliterate the will of the Heavenly Dao!"

Unless the will of Heaven is obliterated or concealed, or if it gains the approval of Heaven, the appearance of the Pangu Sword will surely attract the convergence of Heavenly Punishment once again.

Fortunately, Li Xuanyang possessed the Chaos Pearl and the Xuanhuang Realm, which allowed him to easily deceive the will of Heaven and dispel the Heavenly Punishment.

"Since Master's Pangu Sword did not survive the Heavenly Tribulation, why does the Heavenly Tribulation show signs of dissipating?" Hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Changxi was stunned for a moment, clearly not quite understanding.

"No need to overthink it. I merely obscured the Heavenly Dao's perception, preventing it from sensing the Pangu Sword for the time being," Li Xuanyang said to Changxi with a smile.

Despite this, Changxi became increasingly certain of the extraordinary nature of the Pangu Sword, and was even shocked by her teacher's methods of obscuring the will of Heaven.

Seeing Changxi's expression, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but say to her, "Why aren't you properly comprehending it!"

"Disciple will obey Master's decree!" Changxi immediately composed herself and quietly began to comprehend the creation power emanating from the Heavenly Thunder.

Several days passed in this way. In the void, the dark clouds had completely dissipated, and even the Heavenly Thunder had disappeared. Only a huge Heavenly Punishment Eye remained, still coldly staring at Li Xuanyang, seemingly somewhat unwilling.

"What is this?" Looking at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment in the void, Changxi felt a sudden shock and couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyang.

"It's alright!" Li Xuanyang looked up, then suddenly flicked his sleeve, sending a burst of merit-based energy towards the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. "Go!"

A moment later, the primordial energy of merit and virtue entered the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and both gradually disappeared.

Only then did Changxi dare to approach Li Xuanyang, bow to him, and say, "Teacher, did you previously use the Qi of Merit and Profound Yellow to obscure the will of Heaven?"

The Qi of Merit and Virtue is Heaven's reward for those who have accumulated merit, while the Eye of Heavenly Punishment is the manifestation of Heaven's will. The two can be considered to have the same origin.

"It's not the Qi of Merit and Profound Yellow!" Li Xuanyang chuckled, not mentioning the Chaos Pearl and the Profound Yellow Realm, but instead glancing at Changxi.

Seeing that its three flowers were in full bloom and its cloud aura was complete, it was clear that it had already forged a magic weapon for achieving enlightenment. It only needed one more opportunity to sever one of its three corpses (good, evil, and self) and break through to the quasi-saint realm.

Li Xuanyang nodded to Changxi with satisfaction and said, "I thought it would take a lot of hard work for you to break through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"I never imagined you would achieve so much."

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Changxi dared not take credit and bowed to Li Xuanyang, saying, "If it weren't for Master's Qiankun Cauldron, which allowed me to repair the Taiyin Divine Mirror and to oversee the Zhou Tian Star Array and wield the Zhou Tian Star Chart, enabling me to frequently comprehend the mysteries of the Zhou Tian Stars, I would never have achieved what I have today."

Li Xuanyang shook his head and said, "I have only guided you through the basics. As for your achievements, that depends on yourself."

At this point, Li Xuanyang changed the subject and suddenly asked Changxi, "Now that you have forged the Dao-attaining artifact, have you considered what to entrust with your three corpses of good and evil?"

"This disciple hasn't decided yet!" Changxi shook her head. Normally speaking, whether it's the innate spiritual treasure Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, the Taiyin Divine Mirror, or the innate spiritual treasure Xuan Yang Glazed Lamp, they would all be very suitable.

Among them, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which can be divided into the Sun Wheel and the Moon Wheel. Each of them is a high-grade innate spiritual treasure and they are all of the same origin. The Taiyin Divine Mirror is Changxi's Dao-attaining artifact, and the Xuan Yang Glazed Lamp is one of the three lamps of Heaven, Earth and Man, and it is also a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Each of these innate spiritual treasures or magical artifacts for attaining enlightenment can be used to entrust one's good and evil self (the three corpses).

His wealth surpasses that of many quasi-saints and great supernatural beings.

However, Li Xuanyang once said that if one wants to break through to the Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, sever one's ego, and achieve the unification of the three corpses, one must possess innate spiritual treasures of the same origin.

This put Changxi in a difficult position.

"Please enlighten me, teacher!" Changxi asked Li Xuanyang, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle and said to Changxi, "I don't have any good methods either. It's just that I can use the Taiyin Divine Mirror and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel to entrust the three corpses of good and evil, or use the Xuanyang Glazed Lamp as an entrustment."

The former will inevitably face the challenge of severing their own obsessions and uniting with the three corpses in the future, while the latter will need to gather the three lamps of heaven, earth, and humanity.

"Besides this!" Li Xuanyang said, and then he couldn't help but think of the Sun, Moon, and Star Banner that he had Zixiao Daoist nurture within the Zhou Tian Star Array. He vaguely understood Changxi's plan. "You've come up with a good idea!"

"But you want to ask your master for the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner!" Li Xuanyang asked Changxi with a smile.

"This disciple dares not!" Changxi blushed when Li Xuanyang asked her this. She often presided over the Zhou Tian Star Array and had also controlled the Zhou Tian Star Chart and her own Sun and Moon Essence Wheel. She was extremely clear about every move in the array and naturally could easily spot the Sun, Moon and Star Banner.

"Very well, then you shall accompany your master on a journey to the outer starry sky!" After saying this, Li Xuanyang unfurled golden clouds beneath his feet and led Changxi toward the outer starry sky.

Upon arriving in the outer void, Li Xuanyang waved his hand towards the depths of the countless stars in the heavens, unleashing a beam of light that activated the Zhou Tian Star Array, causing countless stars to shimmer and shine brilliantly.

Suddenly, three divine lights shot into the sky from the Zhou Tian Star Array: one was the light of the sun, one was the light of the moon, and one was the light of the stars. They intertwined with each other and gradually emitted countless innate spiritual lights, illuminating the entire outer starry sky with light, just like the phenomenon when an innate spiritual treasure is born.

If it weren't for its location in the distant outer space, it would likely have been mistaken by the beings and cultivators of the primordial world as an anomaly caused by the birth of a primordial spiritual treasure.

Before long, three beams of divine light gradually descended in front of Li Xuanyang, transforming into three spirit flags.

One of the spirit flags was particularly dazzling. It was about three feet long, with a black background and a golden surface. It was embroidered with patterns of the sun and stars, containing the radiance of the sun and shining brightly. It could connect with the sun and stars and draw down supreme power.

It is the Sun and Stars Flag from the Sun, Moon and Stars Flag!

On each side is a spirit flag, which looks very similar to the Sun and Stars Flag. Each flag is embroidered with patterns of the Moon and the stars of the celestial sphere, and is called the Moon and Stars Flag respectively.

"The sun, moon, and stars gather!" Looking at the sun, moon, and stars flag before her, Changxi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and there was even a hint of longing in them.

"These Sun, Moon and Stars Banners are an innate spiritual treasure that I obtained in the Thirty-Six Heavens. They are called the Sun and Stars Banner, the Moon and Stars Banner, and the Stars Banner. They can also be called the Three Stars Banners. They were formed from the origin of the sun, moon and stars and can all be included in the innate numbers." Li Xuanyang pointed to the Sun, Moon and Stars Banners and introduced them to Changxi.

If the three sun, moon and star flags could be gathered together, they could not only be transformed into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but could also form a sun, moon and star formation.

This formation contains the principles of the sun, moon, and stars, and can generate a celestial sphere of stars, transforming into a star field within the formation, similar to the Celestial Sphere Star Formation.

"This Sun, Moon and Stars Banner is very similar to my Sun and Moon Essence Wheel!" Changxi felt that the starlight emanating from the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner was almost identical to her own Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, except that it had a star banner and starlight.

"Both were born from the stars in the heavens and are both celestial treasures, so they naturally have similarities."

"However, the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner is only a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and it is still inferior to the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel." Li Xuanyang explained the profound mystery of the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner to Changxi.

"However, if you entrust your good and evil self to the three corpses, it will indeed be of great benefit to breaking through the three corpses quasi-saint realm and the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, but the cultivation of the good and evil self three corpses will be somewhat inferior."

This is also the shortcoming of the Sun, Moon and Stars Flag. After all, it is only a high-grade innate spiritual treasure as a whole. If it is divided into the Sun and Stars Flag, the Moon and Stars Flag, and the Stars Flag, each one can be considered a low-grade innate spiritual treasure at most, which is far inferior to the Xuan Yang Glazed Lamp.

The better the quality of the innate spiritual treasure that embodies the three corpses of good and evil, the stronger one's spiritual cultivation and supernatural powers will be.

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly flew from the Zhou Tian Star Array and landed in front of Li Xuanyang. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I wondered who had activated the Zhou Tian Star Array. I didn't expect it to be you, fellow Daoist!"

As they spoke, Daoist Zilian glanced at the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner and Changxi, a hint of understanding appearing in his eyes. He couldn't help but say to Changxi, "Don't hesitate. Even your senior brother Kong Xuan used the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearl as his spiritual support, which is also a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

Innate spiritual treasures of the same origin are extremely rare. Even with Li Xuanyang's wealth, he currently only possesses the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner.

Kong Xuan was forced to ask Li Xuanyang for the Five Elements Dharma Body Method, and thus chose the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearl as his vessel.

Apart from these, only the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which Li Xuanyang created into the Xuanhuang Realm, can be considered as innate spiritual treasures of the same origin.

Speaking of which, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are innate top-grade spiritual treasures. In terms of quality, they are even superior to the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner. However, since they contain the same laws and attributes, they are inferior to the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner in this respect.

"Please grant my request, Master!" Changxi bowed deeply to Li Xuanyang. Even if the Purple Lotus Daoist hadn't said anything, she would have chosen the Sun, Moon, and Stars Flag as the embodiment of her three corpses representing good and evil.

Even though the cultivation level of the three corpses (good, evil, self, and self) is slightly lower, they can still break through to the realm of the three corpses quasi-saint, or even the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Good!" Li Xuanyang smiled and glanced at Changxi, then pointed at the Sun, Moon and Stars Flag, turning it into three beams of light that rushed into Changxi's brow.

"Thank you, teacher!" Changxi bowed deeply to Li Xuanyang again, then with a flash of light, she took out the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel and handed it to the Purple Lotus Daoist.

"This disciple plans to go into seclusion to refine the Sun, Moon and Stars Banner and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. I'm afraid I won't be able to take charge of the Zhou Tian Star Array, so I'll entrust the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel to the True Person!"

Looking at the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel that Changxi handed over, Daoist Zilian couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, and said to Changxi with amusement, "You're actually willing to part with it?"

"The True Man is the Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star, and is rightfully in charge of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel." Hearing the words of the Purple Lotus Daoist, Changxi chuckled and said, "This disciple already possesses the Sun, Moon, and Stars Grand Array, why would I need the Zhou Tian Stars Grand Array!"

"I suppose I will have to learn from you in the future and use the essence of the sun, moon and stars to create a sun, moon and star map to perfect the formation. At that time, I will have to ask the True Man for some star essence."

This move was modeled after the Zhou Tian Star Chart refined by Li Xuanyang, and used as the array diagram for the Zhou Tian Star Array.

"Hehe, this is simple!" Daoist Zilian chuckled and waved his hand to put away the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, not taking the essence of the stars to heart at all.

With the Zhou Tian Star Array, the essence of the Zhou Tian stars can be continuously gathered, so there is no shortage of star essence.

"This disciple intends to return to the Taiyin Star for seclusion..." Changxi had not finished speaking.

Suddenly, strange phenomena soared into the sky in the primordial void, even penetrating into the outer starry sky. Two voices rang out, spreading throughout the primordial land.

"I am Zhurong, the ancestral witch who was transformed from the bloodline of the father god Pangu. Seeing that the Five Immortals of the Zhou Dynasty were lost and that the survival of all living beings in the primordial world was difficult, I wish to transform into a primordial deity, to wield the law of fire in heaven and earth, to control all fires in heaven and earth, to be conferred a divine title, and with the witness of the Heavenly Dao, I am Zhurong, the God of Fire!"

"I am Gonggong, the ancestral witch who was transformed from the bloodline of the father god Pangu. Seeing that the Five Immortals of the Zhou Dynasty were lost and that the survival of all living beings in the primordial world was difficult, I wish to transform into a primordial deity, to govern the laws of heaven and earth and water, to manage the rivers and waters, to confer titles upon deities, and with the witness of the Heavenly Dao, I am Gonggong, the Water God!"

Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out.

"We, the Fire God Zhurong and the Water God Gonggong, now transform our Wu tribe into deities, becoming one of the Five Immortals of the Heavenly Realm, in charge of the merits and thoughts of all living beings in the primordial world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly rang out in the void, and countless laws of heaven and earth emerged, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles, and the entire Ancestral Witch Palace was enveloped by the power of the laws.

At the same time, the merits and thoughts of countless beings from the primordial world converged and fell upon Zhurong, Gonggong, and many other witch clans.

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong immediately revealed their true forms, roared to the sky, and each of them merged all their power of law and merit into the true form of the Ancestral Witch.

As if there were no end in sight, no matter how much power of laws and merit fell into the body, it was all absorbed by the true body of the Ancestral Witch.

The rest of the witch clan followed suit, all looking up to the sky and roaring, merging the power of the laws and the power of merit into their bodies.

This strange phenomenon lasted for several hours before gradually disappearing, alarming countless ancient beings and cultivators.

At this moment, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, imbued with countless laws and meritorious thoughts, stood above the Ancestral Witch Hall, seemingly undergoing enlightenment. Only after all the strange phenomena in the void dissipated did Zhu Rong and Gong Gong open their eyes.

The next moment, the appearance of their Ancestral Witch true forms changed drastically. The originally terrifying Ancestral Witch true forms and the surrounding turbid earth evil energy gradually disappeared, leaving only the power of the Great Dao Laws.

Zhu Rong's eyes were bright and piercing, his face was majestic, and he was surrounded by myriad flames, radiating boundless divine light that illuminated the primordial world. It seemed that every move he made was in harmony with the Great Dao, just like a primordial fire god.

In contrast, Gonggong was surrounded by water, resembling a primordial water god, no longer resembling the true form of the ancestral witch.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated from Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, and thunderous sounds echoed in the void once more. Divine light spread, instantly illuminating the entire prehistoric world.

Countless primordial beings knelt before the Ancestral Witch Hall, bowing to Zhurong and Gonggong, shouting, "Long live the Great Gods Zhurong and Gonggong!"

"Haha, the innate deities coexist with the Dao. From now on, I am the God of Fire, Zhu Rong, commanding all the fires and deities of the primordial world!" Zhu Rong felt the changes within himself and the power of the Great Dao Laws he wielded, and laughed heartily to the sky.

"We are primordial deities, in charge of the laws of heaven and earth. We should invite all living beings of the primordial world to come and celebrate together, and proclaim to the primordial world that our Wu clan has returned to the primordial land!"
