Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 226 Millions of Years of Painful Cultivation Turned to Ashes (Please Subscribe)
"Heaven-Opening Divine Power!" Seeing that a mere beam of chaotic sword light had sent his innate treasure, the Spirit Wood Staff, flying and severely injuring his primordial spirit, the Spirit Wood Daoist was both shocked and furious. He disregarded the injury to his primordial spirit and forcefully activated his magic power, intending to summon the Spirit Wood Staff back.

However, no matter how much the Spirit Wood Taoist tried to activate his magic, the Spirit Wood Staff seemed to sink into the sea without any response.

In an instant, Daoist Lingmu's face turned deathly pale. He knew he absolutely could not continue fighting with Li Xuanyang, or he would surely perish here today. He hurriedly said to Li Xuanyang, "Fellow Daoist, your supernatural powers are vast. I admit that I am no match for you. Please show mercy!"

"How about we stop here!" Lingmu Daoist said again, but in his heart, he was thinking a thousand things. As long as he could get away today, he would definitely avenge this in the future.

Although Lingmu Daoren hated Li Xuanyang to the core, he dared not show it on his face. Instead, he was full of sincerity, hoping that Li Xuanyang would immediately wave his hand and get out of the Xuanhuang Realm. Therefore, he kept speaking kindly to Li Xuanyang.

"Fellow Daoist, you speak so nicely, but you're just hoping I'll spare you this time."

However, Li Xuanyang showed no sign of giving up. He simply smiled at Lingmu Daoist and said, "Now that you have witnessed my Xuanhuang Realm, Chaos Pearl, and the power of creation, how could I possibly let you leave?"

"Besides, if it weren't for my own Taoist skills and supernatural abilities, I'm afraid you would have almost ruined something important last time."

"If we were to meet again now, I could make you utterly destroyed, your soul scattered and your spirit extinguished." Li Xuanyang said this quite frankly, but it enraged Lingmu Daoist to the point of rage. His face flushed red, and he stared at Li Xuanyang with dark eyes, clearly indicating that there was no possibility of him backing down.

Li Xuanyang looked at Lingmu Daoist with a smile on his face and kept talking, "It's just a pity that you, fellow Daoist, have cultivated for countless eons and even witnessed the creation of the world by the Great God Pangu, yet now you are destined to die and your Dao disappear."

"It's truly pathetic and lamentable!"

Even I, a humble Taoist priest, felt a pang of pity.

"Li Xuanyang, how could you be so vicious?" These words shocked and enraged Lingmu Daoist, causing him to tremble with rage, his hair and beard standing on end. It even aggravated his primordial spirit injury, causing him to spit out another mouthful of golden blood essence. He pointed at Li Xuanyang and said with hatred.

"Don't be so smug. Even if I spend countless eons of arduous cultivation turning to ashes, I will never give up on you, so you will know that we, the Chaos Demons, are not to be trifled with by you!"

Enraged, Lingmu Daoren directly manifested the true form of the Chaos Demon God, which transformed into a giant spirit tree within the three flowers of the primordial spirit. The tree was surrounded by the laws of the Great Dao of Life and turned gray, clearly indicating that he intended to fight Li Xuanyang to the death.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, do you want to fight to the death? Unfortunately, I cannot grant your wish."

Seeing that Daoist Lingmu had revealed his true form again, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but smile and said, "Besides, since your true form as a Chaos Demon God no longer exists, how could you possibly fight me to the death with a body made solely from your primordial spirit and Daoist supernatural powers?"

After Li Xuanyang finished speaking, he stopped talking to him, swung the Pangu Sword in his hand, and once again brought it down towards the Spirit Wood Daoist, unleashing a chaotic sword light.

The next moment, a thunderous sword cry suddenly rang out in the Xuanhuang Realm, resounding throughout the entire world, causing the very source of the Xuanhuang Realm to faintly utter a mournful cry.

Within the chaotic sword light, the power of the creation of heaven and earth was fully displayed, containing infinite mysteries. It seemed to be able to create earth, wind, water, and fire, to evolve the pure and turbid energies, and to manifest the supreme Dao.

This demonstrates the immeasurable divine power of Li Xuanyang's creation of the world and the Pangu Sword.

Lingmu Daoist had already witnessed the power of the Heaven-Opening Divine Power, so how could he not know the terror of the Chaos Sword Light?

Seeing the chaotic sword light descending upon him once more, the Spirit Wood Daoist roared in anger, channeling his magical power and the laws of the Great Dao to their fullest extent. A jade-colored divine light shot forth from his spirit wood body, heading towards the chaotic sword light in an attempt to block it.

However, as the chaotic sword light fell, a sword cry suddenly rang out, directly shattering the jade-colored divine light and causing it to fall into the physical body that the Spirit Wood Daoist had transformed into, erupting into a deafening roar that shook the entire Xuanhuang Realm once again.

The Spirit Wood Daoist, who was struck by Li Xuanyang's Chaos Sword Light, was devoured by the sword light in the blink of an eye. His three flowers were annihilated, his auspicious clouds dissipated, and his physical body and primordial spirit were turned into nothingness by the Chaos Sword Light. Even the last trace of his true spirit was annihilated by the overflowing divine power of creation, leaving no trace of his true spirit.

In just a short time, a powerful quasi-saint with three corpses, a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, met such an end.

Li Xuanyang glanced at it, then waved his hand and unleashed a beam of chaotic divine light that fell into the void, sweeping the spirit wooden staff that had been sent flying deep into the Xuanhuang Realm into his presence.

This spiritwood staff is not only a chaotic spiritual treasure, but also the life-bound treasure of the Spiritwood Daoist. It has been refined by him for countless years, and must contain a trace of the Spiritwood Daoist's true spirit.

Li Xuanyang would naturally not let it go unpunished, leaving it with a sliver of life. Instead, he would ensure its complete annihilation, erasing its true spirit imprint and preventing it from ever being reborn.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and unleashed a golden flame that landed on the spirit wood staff. In the blink of an eye, it burned away all the restrictions on the spirit wood staff and reduced the true spirit imprint left by the spirit wood Daoist to ashes. Only then did he absorb it into his primordial spirit along with the Chaos Xuanyang True Fire and disperse the Chaos Undying Body.

"This Pangu Sword truly lives up to its reputation as a divine artifact that created the world; it is indeed awe-inspiring and powerful."

Li Xuanyang was extremely satisfied with the power of the Pangu Sword. With just two strikes, he had annihilated a quasi-saint with three corpses who was the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God. He was overjoyed, feeling that all his painstaking efforts in refining the sword had been worthwhile.

Whether it's the earliest twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Banners and the Chaos Divine Iron, or the later Buzhou Mountain body and the Chaos Profound Yang True Fire, they can all be classified as Chaos Spiritual Materials, making them extremely precious.

However, looking at the Pangu Sword in his hand, a trace of regret suddenly flashed across Li Xuanyang's face. "It's just that I can't bring the Pangu Sword into the Primordial World. Each time, I can only trap it in the Xuanhuang Realm before I can take the Pangu Sword out. Otherwise, it will definitely cause the Heavenly Punishment to appear again."

Otherwise, Li Xuanyang would have wanted to test the power of the Pangu Sword, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble with the Spirit Wood Daoist.

He had already unleashed the Chaos Profound Yang True Fire outside, and with the cultivation and supernatural powers of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he directly killed him.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang waved his hand and put the Pangu Sword into the Chaos Pearl. Then he hid the Chaos Pearl in the Xuanhuang Realm and wanted to leave this place.

Suddenly, I felt that the innate spiritual light emanating from Huang Zhongli was becoming more and more intense, and even the primordial chaos energy was increasing.

This prompted Li Xuanyang to scrutinize it, a strange light gradually appearing in his eyes. "This yellow plum seems to be almost ripe!"

When Li Xuanyang obtained the Yellow Plum in the depths of the desolate sea, it would have taken at least two Yuanhui (a unit of time) for it to ripen, and another Huiyuan (another unit of time) before it could be harvested and eaten. It would have taken at least hundreds of thousands of years for it to fully ripen.

Now, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, but the Huangzhongli plum has still not fully matured.

Li Xuanyang didn't think much about this, after all, he used Huangzhongli as the support for the Xuanhuang Realm, carrying the Chaos Pearl.

Even with the continuous flow of chaotic energy emanating from the Chaos Pearl as a source of nourishment, it was inevitably affected in some ways.

However, to his surprise, the Huangzhong plum is now showing signs of ripening.

Li Xuanyang did a rough calculation and concluded that within ten thousand years at most, the nine yellow plums would be fully ripe and ready to be harvested.

"Nine Huangzhong plums may seem like a lot, but in reality, they probably wouldn't be enough to host a Huangzhong plum banquet." Li Xuanyang shook his head, thinking about the preciousness and extraordinary nature of Huangzhong plums, and couldn't help but think of the five-needle pine trees outside.

The Five-Needle Pine, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World, can produce fifty fruits every fifteen thousand years; Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree can produce thirty fruits every ten thousand years; and the Ren Water Peaches in the Heavenly Court produce even more fruits.

Only the Huangzhong Plum takes three cycles of time to produce nine fruits, making it extremely rare.

Throughout the entire primordial world, since the beginning of time, there have probably been very few great supernatural beings who have had the opportunity to taste even a fraction of it.

"I wonder what Huangzhongli tastes like!" After saying that, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle. He thought of Hongyun. It seemed that even he couldn't help but feel a little craving for Huangzhongli.

Outside the Xuanhuang Realm, the Antarctic Immortal, along with the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect, noticed that Li Xuanyang had not emerged after a long time and couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety.

Although Li Xuanyang is a Primordial Golden Immortal, his cultivation and supernatural powers are extremely astonishing. In addition, he is wealthy and has many innate spiritual treasures to protect him, so he will certainly not encounter any accidents.

However, since the Spirit Wood Daoist was the reincarnation of the true spirit of the Chaos Demon God and possessed the Spirit Wood Staff, a treasure born of him, the four of them couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Although Master possesses many innate spiritual treasures, only the Kongtong Seal and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel can be considered top-grade innate spiritual treasures, far inferior to the Spirit Wood Staff, which is a Chaos spiritual treasure!" The Silver Crane Boy's small face was full of worry as he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Master's Kongtong Seal has long been used to suppress the use of human energy, while the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel is on True Person Zilian and Senior Sister Changxi." The Golden Crane Boy also started to mutter to himself, even revealing the whereabouts of the Kongtong Seal and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel.

"Even the Primordial Yin-Yang Lamp has not been retrieved."

"At present, it is estimated that only a few high-grade innate spiritual treasures remain to protect me, such as the Five Banners of the Primordial Directions, the Divine Diagram of the Primordial Yin and Yang, the Moon Devouring Soul Sword, the Qiankun Sword, the Treasure Basin, and the Lotus Lantern."

"Don't forget, there's also the Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus of the Innate Realm. As for the remaining few high-grade Innate spiritual treasures, they're all with True Person Purple Lotus and True Person Black Lotus," Silver Crane Boy interjected. As Golden Crane and Silver Crane Boys continued their explanation, the Antarctic Immortal was dumbfounded. "No wonder all the beings and cultivators in the prehistoric world say that their master is incredibly wealthy, even surpassing the saints and emperors."

"I never imagined there would be so many top-grade innate spiritual treasures."

However, these top-grade innate spiritual treasures are only those that Li Xuanyang uses regularly. In addition, there are other top-grade innate spiritual treasures such as the Panwang Pearl, the Panwang Yuanyu Banner, and the Innate Pure Yang Treasure Mirror, which are unknown to outsiders.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's wealth is truly immense!" A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West. She seemed to glance towards the direction above the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, vaguely thinking of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace, who also possessed numerous innate spiritual treasures.

“What the fairy says is true.” The Golden Crane Boy said with a bitter face, “But although my master has many high-grade innate spiritual treasures, he has never had an innate supreme treasure to protect him, let alone a chaotic spiritual treasure.”

"If I had known I would encounter Daoist Lingmu, I should have gone to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and borrowed the God-Slaying Spear, the innate treasure of Venerable Zhulong."

Upon hearing the Golden Crane Boy's words, the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Pointing to the thirty-six worlds not far away, she said, "With your master's cultivation and supernatural powers, why would he need a mere innate treasure!"

"Besides, how do you know that your master doesn't have a spiritual treasure of innate supreme quality to protect him?"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but think of the thirty-six chaotic heavens she had seen before, as well as the sword that Li Xuanyang had once taken out.

The former was so mysterious that even the Queen Mother of the West couldn't fathom its origins, and now it seems to have transformed into the thirty-six worlds before us. The latter once collided with the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror without being damaged.

Clearly, neither of them can be compared to ordinary high-grade innate spiritual treasures.

"Moreover, although the Spirit Wood Daoist's Spirit Wood Staff is indeed a Chaos Treasure, it may not be in perfect condition." Before the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, a soft laugh came from the thirty-six worlds.

"Fellow Daoist is right, this spirit wood staff is indeed not perfect."

As the sound rang out, Li Xuanyang stepped out from the thirty-six worlds, holding a jade-colored wooden staff in his hand, which was none other than the Spirit Wood Daoist's companion treasure, the Spirit Wood Staff.

At this moment, the spiritwood staff was not only covered with cracks, but also had a very clear sword mark, which almost split the entire spiritwood staff in two, breaking it into two pieces.

"A Chaos Treasure, a Spirit Wood Staff!" The Antarctic Immortal, along with the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect, exclaimed in unison, overjoyed.

Even the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when she looked at the jade-colored wooden staff that Li Xuanyang was playing with.

Li Xuanyang smiled without saying a word at their fuss, waved his hand to put away the thirty-six worlds, and walked towards them.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West and the four immortals under the five-needle pine tree stepped forward to greet Li Xuanyang, each bowing to him.

"This humble servant greets fellow Daoist!"

"The disciple has met the teacher!"

"Golden Crane, Silver Crane, and Nine Feathers greet you, Master!"

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities!" Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West's face was pale and her aura was disordered, Li Xuanyang clearly had suffered a serious injury. So he waved his hand and sent out a divine light that landed on the Queen Mother of the West.

As the divine light entered her body, the injuries within the Queen Mother of the West healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The Queen Mother of the West, sensing the changes within herself, bowed to Li Xuanyang once again to express her gratitude.

"Why did you, fellow Daoist, engage in a conflict with the Spirit Wood Daoist?" Li Xuanyang asked, a look of confusion on his face as he looked at the Queen Mother of the West.

When Shennong was born, Lingmu Daoren and Xi Wangmu were already acquainted and could be considered like-minded friends. How could they suddenly start fighting each other?

"This is a long story. Fellow Daoist, why don't you sit down under the tree first, and I'll explain in detail later?" The Queen Mother of the West did not immediately answer Li Xuanyang's question, but instead pointed to the five-needle pine tree not far away and invited him to speak.

Since that's the case, Li Xuanyang didn't ask any more questions. He simply nodded to the Queen Mother of the West and walked towards the Five-Needle Pine.

From afar, one could see stone tables and chairs placed beneath the five-needle pine trees, all carved from innate spiritual jade, with extremely exquisite designs.

The two walked over and sat down together.

As soon as he sat down, Li Xuanyang examined the five-needle pine and exclaimed in praise, "This spiritual root must be the five-needle pine, one of the ten great innate spiritual roots of the primordial world!"

"Truly extraordinary!"

In the past, Li Xuanyang also searched for the whereabouts of the Five-Needle Pine, and Shangqing Daoist even ordered a group of his disciples from the Jie Sect to search for it in various parts of the prehistoric world.

Surprisingly, the five-needle pine is located here.

"Could it be that Daoist Lingmu came for the Five-Needle Pine?" Li Xuanyang suddenly asked the Queen Mother of the West.

“It’s not a five-needle pine!” Upon hearing Li Xuanyang’s question, the Queen Mother of the West chuckled, then waved her hand and sent out a divine light that landed on the tree canopy, swirling up the fruits and sending them falling.

"However, the fruit of these five-needle pines does have some flavor. Fellow Daoist and your young friends might as well try some!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine-headed winged insect shook its nine heads, its eyes fixed on the fruit that had fallen onto the stone table, revealing a greedy look on its face.

"Why aren't you all thanking Fellow Daoist Xi Wangmu?" Seeing the appearance of the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but say to the four of them in an annoyed tone.

"Thank you, fairy!" The four were startled and quickly bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.

“Young friends, there’s no need for such formalities.” The Queen Mother of the West waved her sleeve, sending out a divine light that lifted the group up. Then, her gaze fell upon the Antarctic Immortal. “Young friends, have you come here seeking the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi?”

Before Li Xuanyang arrived, the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect had mentioned the Primordial Yin and Yang Qi, which was overheard by the Queen Mother of the West.

Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West's words, the Antarctic Immortal immediately looked embarrassed. How could he not know that this place was already owned? How could he possibly dare to speak of the primordial Yin and Yang energies?

"Hehe!" Upon seeing the appearance of the Antarctic Immortal, the Queen Mother of the West chuckled and waved her hand, sending out a divine light into the void, revealing the previous innate formation.

Suddenly, in the center of the formation, the innate Yin-Yang Qi and the innate Five Elements Qi manifested, constantly transforming and evolving with each other.

First, the innate two polarities are transformed into innate Yin and Yang, and then combined with the innate five elements to form the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements Great Dao Law, which presents many mysteries.

"This is the innate Yin and Yang formed from the innate Yin and Yang principles!" With just one glance, Li Xuanyang vaguely discerned the profound mystery of this innate formation.

The innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements laws contained within it are formed by the innate Yin-Yang energy, which is then combined with the innate Five Elements energy gathered from the Five Needle Pine.

It can be said that the innate Yin and Yang Qi and the Five Needle Pine are the foundation of the suppression array.

In addition, there should be another object at the center of the formation, containing a rich array of spatial laws, which suppresses the formation.

Li Xuanyang vaguely thought of willow branches.

"It's not appropriate to bestow all of this primordial Yin-Yang Qi upon you, young friend," said the Queen Mother of the West, gazing at the primordial Yin-Yang Qi.

Upon hearing this, the Old Man of the South Pole couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but fortunately, he had already prepared for this, so he wasn't too disappointed.

But the next moment, the Queen Mother of the West continued, "But it would be alright to give you a strand of it to forge a magical artifact for your enlightenment!"
