Chapter 228 Repairing the Spirit Wood Staff and the Return of the Five Emperors (Please Subscribe)
"Primordial Chaos Energy!" Li Xuanyang was suddenly shocked. "Primordial Chaos Energy is so profound that it can repair Primordial Chaos Treasures!"

"It's not for repairing the Chaos Treasure, but for the Spirit Wood Staff." Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, the Queen Mother of the West shook her head and then pointed out the difference between the two.

"The Spirit Wood Staff is the Spirit Wood Daoist's innate treasure, and you have probably already seen the Spirit Wood Daoist's true form, which is transformed from a Chaos Spirit Wood, so it can be repaired using Chaos Primordial Qi."

"I see!" Li Xuanyang nodded thoughtfully. No wonder the Spirit Wood Daoist was surprised when he saw the Chaos Primordial Qi last time, and even asked where the Chaos Primordial Qi came from.

"And primordial chaos energy can only be derived from the primordial chaos spiritual root." At this point, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly thought of the Yellow Plum and couldn't help but ask Li Xuanyang, "The branch you just took out, was it from the Yellow Plum?"

Faced with the Queen Mother of the West's question, Li Xuanyang smiled and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have insight. I am indeed Li of Huangzhong."

Li Xuanyang was not surprised that the Queen Mother of the West could recognize Huang Zhongli.

After all, in the primordial world, only the Yellow Plum and the Wutong Spiritual Root deep within the Undying Volcano possessed primordial chaos energy, and were even called primordial chaos spiritual roots.

The Huangzhong plum is very easy to identify; its leaves and flowers all have three shadows, and all bear the characters "Huangzhong".

Upon seeing Li Xuanyang admit it, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, and she suddenly said, "So, it seems that the Yellow Plum has now been obtained by you, fellow Daoist?"

If it were before Li Xuanyang broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, he would definitely have kept Huang Zhongli's matter a secret, but now there is no need to do so.

"What, fellow Daoist, are you also interested in Huangzhong Li?" Li Xuanyang simply admitted it directly, and even asked the Queen Mother of the West with a smile.

"I am indeed quite interested." The Queen Mother of the West smiled and nodded, saying, "Such chaotic spiritual roots are extremely rare, especially since the Yellow Plum is the foremost of the ten great innate spiritual roots of the primordial world. Naturally, I hope to have the opportunity to see it!"

"What's so difficult about that!" As he spoke, a burst of chaotic divine light flashed around Li Xuanyang, revealing the thirty-six worlds once more, and he extended an invitation to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Fellow Daoist, why not come inside and take a look!"

"Alright!" Upon seeing the thirty-six worlds revealed by Li Xuanyang, the Queen Mother of the West's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded in agreement, following Li Xuanyang into the Xuanhuang Realm.

As for the teacher mentioned by the Queen Mother of the West, Li Xuanyang did not ask any further questions, and the Queen Mother of the West did not mention it much either.

But Li Xuanyang had already guessed this in his heart; it was nothing more than related to the Great Immortal Yangmei.

It is not only the Space Demon God among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, but its true form is also a hollow willow tree with a chaotic spiritual root, which can generate chaotic primordial energy.

After witnessing the wonders of Huangzhong Li and Xuanhuang Realm, Xi Wangmu returned to the Five-Needle Pine Tree with Li Xuanyang.

Now that everything has come to an end, Li Xuanyang has no intention of leaving. Instead, he and the Queen Mother of the West stay here for a while, waiting for the Five Emperors to return to their positions and for the changes in the Five Elements Dharma Body and the Five Primordial Banners.

For a time, the two spent their days meditating, practicing their breathing, and discussing philosophy over tea, enjoying themselves immensely.

For this reason, Li Xuanyang specially opened up a cave near the Five-Needle Pine for cultivation.

More than a thousand years have passed in this way.

On this day, the Queen Mother of the West brought up the matter of repairing the spirit wood staff with chaotic primordial energy again, and Li Xuanyang naturally intended to give it a try.

If the spiritwood staff can be repaired, a complete and flawless chaotic spiritual treasure can be obtained to make up for the deficiencies of one's own innate spiritual treasure.

Li Xuanyang possesses numerous innate spiritual treasures, but he has never had the opportunity to obtain a supreme innate treasure, let alone a chaotic spiritual treasure. His only supreme chaotic treasure, the Chaos Pearl, is not primarily used for attack and slaughter.

Furthermore, Li Xuanyang had long suspected the mysteries of the Chaos Treasure, and now he could verify and compare it with the Chaos Pearl and many other high-grade innate treasures.

During this period of seclusion and meditation, Li Xuanyang spent most of his time in the Xuanhuang Realm, where he manifested the three flowers of his primordial spirit atop his head. Auspicious clouds and light shone forth, and a golden innate Xuanyang divine light soared into the sky. Above the three flowers, a jade-colored spirit wood staff hung high, radiating countless rays of light that illuminated a range of billions of miles, attracting wisps of chaotic primordial energy to gather and fall upon it, gradually merging into the spirit wood staff.

In a short while, golden petals fell from the Xuanhuang Realm, transforming into golden lotuses with a wonderful fragrance and the faint sound of heavenly music. Rare and exotic beasts appeared, and some even transformed into huge spiritual trees, like chaotic spiritual roots, comparable to the Yellow Plum on the side.

Even outside the Xuanhuang Realm, inside the cave dwelling that Li Xuanyang had created, over time, bursts of light emanated from the thirty-six worlds, gradually spreading throughout the entire cave heaven.

"Primordial Chaos Energy!" Seeing the many strange phenomena appearing in the direction of Li Xuanyang's cave, and even being able to clearly sense a trace of Primordial Chaos Energy, the Queen Mother of the West whispered enviously.

"I never expected that in just a few hundred years, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang would have repaired the Spirit Wood Staff to such an extent. It is truly unbelievable."

"However, the chaotic primordial energy derived from the Yellow Plum is not inexhaustible; it is ultimately finite and cannot be used entirely to repair the Spirit Wood Staff. Moreover, the Yellow Plum is about to mature, so it is impossible to forcibly generate and gather chaotic primordial energy at this time." Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West closed her eyes and sat down to meditate again.

Cultivation knows no years; time stands still in the mountains. Within the Xuanhuang Realm, there is no connection to the sun, moon, or stars, nor the cycle of the four seasons. There is only the ever-changing spirit wooden staff and the increasingly rich fragrance emanating from the Huangzhong plum.

As time went by, the chaotic primordial energy surrounding Huang Zhongli gradually became thinner.

Li Xuanyang gradually opened his eyes, and two divine lights, one golden and one silver, emerged. His aura subsided, the divine light receded, the auspicious clouds dissipated, and the three flowers disappeared.

"No wonder Chaos Treasures and Chaos Supreme Treasures are so rare. It turns out that treasures of this quality cannot be formed in the primordial world. Rather, they are born in accordance with the destiny of the Great Dao and are naturally endowed with the laws of the Great Dao, which is why they are so rare."

Li Xuanyang waved his hand and summoned the spirit wooden staff into his hand. He already understood some of the mysteries and differences between Chaos Spiritual Treasures and Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Normally speaking, top-grade innate spiritual treasures are already the pinnacle of the primordial world. They are either born from the fortune of heaven and earth or are companion spiritual treasures of innate gods and demons. They inherently contain various laws and powers, and can all be considered to be uniquely endowed by heaven.

As for innate treasures, they are beyond the reach of the primordial world.

Whether it's the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Chaos Bell, or the God-Slaying Spear, they are all derived from fragments of Chaos Treasures, not born from the primordial world.

Chaos Spiritual Treasures and Chaos Supreme Treasures also differ in that the Great Dao Laws they contain are almost all complete and flawless.

For example, the life Dao Law contained in the Spirit Wood Staff, and the Chaos Dao Law and Space Dao Law contained in the Chaos Pearl, are almost complete and flawless, like another manifestation of the Chaos Demon God.

In contrast, the laws contained in innate spiritual treasures vary to varying degrees and are not entirely complete, far inferior to chaotic spiritual treasures and chaotic supreme treasures.

Even the Chaos Spiritual Treasure and the Chaos Supreme Treasure are not the same. The completeness of the Great Dao Laws contained in the Chaos Pearl is obviously far superior to that of the Spirit Wood Staff.

“No wonder Daoist Lingmu wanted to find the primordial chaos energy to repair the Spiritwood Staff.” Li Xuanyang’s eyes revealed a hint of understanding. Although Daoist Lingmu was the reincarnation of the true spirit of the Chaos Demon God, he was ultimately no longer the original body of the Chaos Demon God, and the laws of life he wielded were flawed.

If one wishes to advance further, one must either cultivate the true form of the Chaos Demon God anew to make up for one's deficiencies, or repair the Spirit Wood Staff and use it once again as a means of proving one's Dao, using the life Dao laws it contains to complete oneself.

With that thought in mind, Li Xuanyang got up and left the Xuanhuang Realm, heading towards the place where the Queen Mother of the West was cultivating.

As soon as Li Xuanyang left the cave, the Queen Mother of the West sensed that many strange phenomena had disappeared, withdrew her primordial spirit, and got up to leave the cave.

Just then, they saw Li Xuanyang walking along, as if he had merged into the space, as if the primordial space was guiding him. With each step he took, Li Xuanyang would appear in the next space, slowly approaching.

"It's been a thousand years since we last met. Fellow Daoist's laws of space are becoming increasingly profound and unpredictable." The Queen Mother of the West's tone revealed a hint of surprise, and she became even more curious, wondering how Li Xuanyang wielded the laws of space.

Previously, the Queen Mother of the West had been very curious about this. Not to mention why Li Xuanyang chose to take charge of the laws of space, she couldn't understand how he did it.

It should be noted that powerful beings have long since mastered all the laws of space.

Of the three thousand Great Daos, those who attained the Dao first have almost completely eliminated the possibility of proving one's Dao through the laws of spatial Dao.

But Li Xuanyang not only mastered the laws of space, but also became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang didn't notice the unusual tone in Xi Wangmu's voice and didn't take it to heart at all.

Furthermore, Li Xuanyang chose to wield the Chaos Great Dao Law, but the Chaos Pearl is a supreme treasure of chaos, possessing extraordinary qualities. In addition to containing the Chaos Great Dao Law, it also contains the Space Great Dao Law.

The Queen Mother of the West naturally couldn't guess it.

"Speaking of which, I was able to comprehend the laws of space entirely thanks to your help, fellow Daoist." As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Li Xuanyang's hand, and he took out a willow branch about half a foot long, which he handed to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Please take this item back, fellow Daoist!"

This willow branch was originally lent to Li Xuanyang by the Queen Mother of the West for his study of the laws of space. Now, after countless years, it is no longer of any use to Li Xuanyang, but he has not yet found a suitable opportunity to return it to the Queen Mother of the West.

“No need for that!” Looking at the willow branch that Li Xuanyang handed over, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West. The spatial laws contained on it had not diminished over the years, but had instead become slightly more intense.

"Fellow Daoist, you might as well take this back and keep it to bestow upon your disciples in the future, so they can use it to comprehend the laws of space," the Queen Mother of the West said to Li Xuanyang, shaking her head slightly instead of reaching out to take the willow branch.

"Then I, on behalf of my disciples, thank you, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang did not refuse and put the willow branch away again. He planned to give it to Kong Xuan when he returned, so that Kong Xuan could comprehend the laws of space and combine it with the innate five elements and five-colored divine light.

To prevent the suppression space formed by the innate five elements and five colors of divine light from being easily broken by a powerful being in the future.

"I suppose you wish to bid me farewell, fellow Daoist? Are you returning to Xuan Yang Mountain?" the Queen Mother of the West suddenly asked Li Xuan Yang.

“Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken this time. I intend to travel to the human race.” Li Xuanyang did not hide his intentions. In any case, once the Five Emperors returned to their positions, there would definitely be a great commotion. Even if he could not hide it, he might as well tell the Queen Mother of the West directly.

"Humans!" The Queen Mother of the West was taken aback for a moment, then remembered what Li Xuanyang had mentioned earlier about controlling the floods, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Although the Heavenly River Weak Water has extraordinary properties, ordinary living beings and cultivators are helpless against it.

But Li Xuanyang had already sent his disciples to assist him, so why did he need to go in person? Moreover, with Li Xuanyang's current level of cultivation and supernatural powers, let alone the remaining Heavenly River Weak Water...

Even when Mount Buzhou collapsed and countless rivers of the Milky Way fell into the primordial land, it could still be completely collected.

"Fellow Daoist, is this about the Five Emperors?" The Queen Mother of the West's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but think of the Five Emperors of the Human Race.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist will naturally know in time!" Upon hearing Xi Wangmu's words, Li Xuanyang chuckled lightly, without mentioning the Five Elements Dharma Body and the Five Primordial Banners, since the Five Emperors had not yet returned to their positions and the secrets of heaven could not be revealed.

"When did you become like this, fellow Daoist?" The Queen Mother of the West looked at Li Xuanyang with amusement, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

In response, Li Xuanyang just smiled and said nothing.

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother of the West, he left the grotto and traveled all the way to the South China Sea, and then from the South China Sea towards the inland wilderness.

Since Kong Xuan assisted Yu the Great in controlling the floods, the Immortal of Crossing the Calamity first came, followed by the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect.

Over the course of two or three thousand years, people have carved out countless waterways and even moved mountains to open roads, bringing back a great deal of spiritual materials from Xuan Yang Mountain.

Among them was a naturally occurring soil that transformed into riverbanks to intercept floods.

During this time, he also went to the Heavenly Court to borrow the River Map from the Purple Lotus Taoist, marking the direction of the primordial rivers and waterways, and refined several spiritual treasures for measuring waterways and opening mountains.

Only when all the remaining Heavenly River and Weak Water around Buzhou Mountain are diverted into the East Sea via several rivers will the task be considered complete.

Next, Emperor Shun attained enlightenment and returned to his position, going to the Fire Cloud Cave in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens for secluded cultivation, while Yu the Great succeeded him as the common ruler of the human race.

On this day, above the thirty-three outer heavens, five-colored light emanated, and the sound of phoenixes rang out. A magnificent chariot, radiating dazzling golden light, streaked across the void and slowly landed on the altar.

Above the void, the innate five elements and five colors of divine light manifested, taking the shape of an auspicious cloud.

Kong Xuan stood on it, flanked by golden and silver crane attendants. They landed above the altar and bowed to Emperor Shun.

Kong Xuan gave a light shout and said, "By the decree of the Xuan Yang Patriarch, the Wondrous Dao Heavenly Venerable, Emperor Shun is hereby conferred the title of one of the Five Emperors of the Human Race, and shall forever enjoy the merits and fortune of the Human Race. He shall immediately go to the Fire Cloud Cave in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens to cultivate!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Shun showed an excited expression and respectfully stepped forward to bow to Kong Xuan on the auspicious cloud, saying, "Shun respectfully obeys the decree of the Heavenly Venerable!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a loud bang resounded in the void, and countless rays of light in shades of black and yellow spread out, attracting the fortune and merit of the human race to gather there. In the blink of an eye, it spread over hundreds of millions of miles, illuminating a golden light.

The next moment, the merit-based aura that had emerged from the void fell into the sky above the altar and suddenly split into several parts.

About 80% of them fell towards Emperor Shun, 10% towards Yu the Great, and the remaining 10% fell towards those who assisted Yu the Great in controlling the floods, such as Kong Xuan, the Immortal of Du'e, the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect.

"The Qi of Merit and Profound Yellow!" Upon seeing the Qi of Merit and Profound Yellow descending upon him, Master Du'e's face lit up with joy. He quickly summoned a cyan spirit pearl and collected it all.

The others either brought out their own magical treasures, intending to collect them, or let them fall into their bodies to increase their cultivation and magical power.

Kong Xuan then revealed the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, taking in the falling Xuanhuang Qi of Merit and Virtue and absorbing it into the Three Flowers. This caused the Innate Five Elements Spirit Pearl and the Innate Five Elements Five Color Divine Light in his Primordial Spirit to rise high, along with the Xuanhuang Qi of Merit and Virtue obtained by the other Five Emperors when they returned to their positions, and combined them with the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit.

The next moment, a beam of azure innate divine light shot into the sky from Kong Xuan's three primordial spirit flowers, intersecting with an innate water spirit pearl, gathering all the merit and primordial energy into one place, transforming into a blue-robed Taoist.

Its appearance is exactly the same as Kong Xuan's, and its body is surrounded by the innate divine light of Ren water, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, as if it were in harmony with heaven and earth.

The blue-robed Taoist landed in front of Kong Xuan, bowed to him, and said, "This humble Taoist greets fellow Taoist!"

"We are one, why be so formal?" Kong Xuan said, his face beaming with joy as he returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

The blue-robed Taoist nodded with a smile, then transformed into a beam of azure divine light and entered Kong Xuan's three primordial spirit flowers.

"Thanks to Junior Sister Changxi and Junior Brother Antarctic Immortal, who spent a lot of effort to obtain this innate Ren water energy from the Peach Garden, otherwise it would have been quite a lot of hard work."

"In addition, with the existing innate wood and fire elements, and now only the innate metal element remaining, we can complete the innate five elements to support the five elements Dharma body."

If last time, Kong Xuan only managed to create a Five Elements Dharma Body, it could only be said that he barely broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Now that he has also unleashed the Innate Ren Water Divine Light, he has undoubtedly stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm.

Just as Kong Xuan was beaming with joy and sensing the changes within himself, he suddenly heard the two attendants, Golden Crane and Silver Crane, exclaim in unison, "How could it be Master's Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan opened his eyes and saw that the innate divine light filled the sky, spreading throughout the void and covering an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles, reaching directly into the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens.

"Where did this innate divine light come from?" Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment, then felt that the aura emanating from this innate divine light was much purer than his own innate Wu Earth divine light, and even contained both innate Wu and Ji elements, but he did not see the central Wu Ji apricot yellow flag.

"Senior brother, look down quickly!" the Golden Crane and Silver Crane attendants exclaimed again.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan looked down and was immediately shocked, exclaiming, "The Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner!"

At this time, Emperor Shun had already manifested the three flowers of his primordial spirit, and the auspicious cloud that he transformed into, which was half an acre in size, gradually underwent a change, almost becoming a full acre in size.

A palm-sized spirit flag appeared on it, with a very peculiar appearance. The flag was about 1.7 feet long, and its color was dark yellow, displaying ten thousand golden lotuses, which could not be broken by anything.

It was the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, one of the Five Innate Banners that were Li Xuanyang's most precious protective treasures.

"How could it be the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner?"

Everyone present, including Master Du'e, Golden Crane, Silver Crane Boy, Nine-Headed Feathered Insect, and others, were all taken aback by Emperor Shun and the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, completely bewildered by the situation.

Upon seeing this, Kong Xuan frowned, thinking of his teacher's Five Elements Dharma Body. "I haven't seen my teacher's Five Elements Dharma Body for a long time, and it corresponds exactly to the Five Emperors."

In addition, there was the Central Plains Yellow Banner before him, and the matter of how he had been instructed to assist Yu the Great in controlling the floods when he personally came to the human race last time.

Kong Xuan subconsciously muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Five Emperors are the reincarnations of my teacher's Five Elements Dharma Body?"

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan was horrified. Immediately, divine light soared into the sky from his body, revealing the five elements and five colors of innate divine light, which transformed into five colors of light: green, yellow, red, black, and white, blocking the people who were about to step forward.

"No one is allowed to step forward, or don't blame me for not showing any mercy." Kong Xuan's tone was extremely cold, and his eyes swept over each of the cultivators present. Even True Person Du'e felt a chill in his heart and dared not make any move.

"Golden Crane, Silver Crane, Nine Feathers, the three of you must go quickly to protect the Dharma, and do not make any mistakes!" Kong Xuan suddenly turned around and shouted at the Golden Crane, Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect in the distance.

Upon hearing Kong Xuan's words, the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect, though somewhat puzzled, dared not ask any further questions. They all descended from the auspicious clouds and came to Emperor Shun's side to protect him.
