Chapter 229 The Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array (Please Subscribe)
At this moment, the human race's fortune gathered in the sky suddenly fell into Emperor Shun's three flowers of primordial spirit, causing the central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner to transform into a patch of dark yellow golden light, gradually surging out a mysterious aura that directly rushed into the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, merging with the innate divine light.

The next moment, various strange phenomena arose in the void. Emperor Shun slowly opened his eyes, looked at the central apricot-yellow flag on the three flowers of his primordial spirit, and softly proclaimed, "The five elements of the universe—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are the five directions and five elements. Now that the five emperors have returned to their positions, fellow Daoists, why don't you come quickly!"

Before the words were finished, the innate divine light that had rushed into the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens suddenly rushed into the Fire Cloud Cave, shining brightly and revealing the aura of the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner and the mysteries of the innate Wuji divine light.

The next moment, from the depths of the Fire Cloud Cave, four beams of innate divine light suddenly shot out, carrying the aura of the four great laws of metal, wood, water, and fire. They intersected with each other and then burst out of the Fire Cloud Cave, heading towards the primordial land.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun and Fuxi, who were meditating, suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts, opened their eyes and looked into the void. After a long while, they finally looked away, exchanged a glance, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"This is the Primordial Divine Light of Earth and Metal!"

"How come it looks like it was transformed from Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner?" Hong Yun looked puzzled, feeling that the innate Wuji divine light had completely merged with the other four innate divine lights, clearly manifesting the innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws.

However, what puzzled Hongyun was, "Moreover, why did these fellow Daoists suddenly experience such a change!"

“The Primordial Divine Light of Earth and Metal, the Four Primordial Divine Lights of Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire, and the Primordial Five Elements Great Dao Laws.” Fuxi’s eyes gradually brightened, and his guesses became clearer. In fact, apart from the central Earth and Metal Apricot Yellow Banner, he could also vaguely sense the aura of the other four Primordial Five Banners.

"So, this could be the change brought about by the return of Emperor Shun to his position in the primordial world, which brought together the Five Emperors and the Five Banners of the Primordial World!" Upon thinking of this, Fuxi immediately sensed the changes in the human destiny, which seemed to be converging towards the inner continent of the primordial world.

"Fellow Daoist!" Seeing Fuxi deep in thought, Hongyun couldn't help but ask, "Why did the return of the Five Emperors bring about such changes?"

"And why does it bear the aura of Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner?"

Hongyun was naturally not kept in the dark about Emperor Shun's return to the throne and the changes in the fortunes of humanity.

What puzzled him was that when the Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man returned to their rightful places, and when the previous Five Emperors returned to their rightful places, there was no such change.

Why did such a change occur when Emperor Shun attained enlightenment and returned to his position? It was even the divine light transformed from Li Xuanyang's Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.

They actually rushed into the Fire Cloud Cave, causing the other four Five Emperors to each transform into a beam of divine light, merging with it and heading towards the primordial land.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to overthink it." Seeing the puzzled look on Hongyun's face, clearly not yet guessing the relationship between the Five Emperors and Li Xuanyang, Fuxi chuckled and said to him, "Why don't you come with me on this trip? Then you'll naturally find out everything."

Upon hearing Fuxi's words, Hongyun was slightly taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully, rose up, and rode the cloud with Fuxi toward the primordial land.

At this moment, four beams of innate divine light descended, transforming into four great emperors of the human race: Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Diku, and Yao.

"Greetings, Four Great Emperors!" Upon seeing the four Great Emperors appear, the crowd was initially taken aback, then bowed respectfully to them in unison.

Seeing the four emperors standing alongside Emperor Shun, Kong Xuan's eyes blazed with golden light, further confirming his suspicions.

However, before Kong Xuan could think further, he saw the four great emperors of the human race—Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Diku, and Yao—first exchange a smile with Emperor Shun, and then each of them flashed with divine light, revealing the three flowers of their primordial spirit.

Above the three flowers of Shaohao's primordial spirit, the innate Gengxin metal divine light soared into the sky and transformed into the western plain-colored cloud banner; above the three flowers of Zhuanxu's primordial spirit, the innate Jiayi wood divine light soared into the sky and transformed into the eastern blue lotus treasure banner.

Above the three flowers of the primordial spirit of Emperor Ku and Emperor Yao, the innate water divine light of Ren Gui and the innate fire divine light of Bing Ding respectively burst forth, transforming into the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag and the Southern Li Di Flame Light Flag.

Together with the central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner above the three flowers of Emperor Shun's primordial spirit, they formed five innate five-directional banners.

"This is the Five Banners of the Primordial Heaven of True Man Xuan Yang!" Someone recognized the origin of the Five Banners of the Primordial Heaven and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"How could the Five Emperors have summoned the Five Innate Banners of True Man Xuanyang!"

"Could it be that the Xuan Yang Immortal lent it to the Five Emperors for protection?"

"So, it seems that True Man Xuanyang and the Five Emperors knew each other in their previous lives!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously, thinking of Fuxi and Hongyun, who were not without similar experiences.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Master Du'e glanced at Kong Xuan and the innate five elements and five colors of divine light in the air, and a sense of confusion arose in his heart.

Even though Li Xuanyang was familiar with the Five Emperors in their previous lives, and even helped them reincarnate as the Five Emperors of the Human Race, and lent the Five Primordial Banners to the group for protection.

But now that Emperor Shun has returned to his rightful place after fulfilling his merits, why is Kong Xuan so nervous? He even manifested the innate five elements and five colors of divine light, and had the golden crane, silver crane boy, and nine-headed winged insect protect him.

Just as everyone was discussing this, two beams of cloud light flew down from the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, and standing on them were two Taoists, Fuxi and Hongyun, who had come from the Fire Cloud Cave.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Kong Xuan felt relieved. With the two Holy Emperors, Fuxi and Hongyun, in charge, even if all the other sages came, they would be safe and sound.

"But!" Kong Xuan's eyes showed a strange light as he muttered to himself, "Why haven't we seen our teacher come yet!"

"The Five Primordial Banners!" As soon as Hongyun and Fuxi arrived, they saw five beams of primordial divine light soaring into the sky, as well as the Five Primordial Banners. Hongyun blurted out, "Could it be that the Five Emperors are related to Fellow Daoist Xuanyang?"

As soon as Hongyun finished speaking, a soft laugh rang in his ears, "Please forgive me, fellow Daoist, but the matter of the Five Emperors is indeed related to this humble Daoist!"

When Hongyun and Fuxi heard Li Xuanyang's voice, they looked up into the void and saw Li Xuanyang appear out of thin air.

"It was my fault this time, that I disturbed your peaceful cultivation." A golden cloud of light flashed beneath Li Xuanyang's feet as he arrived before the two, bowing and greeting them.

"Fellow Daoist, are you imitating Daoist Zhunti and Xuanyuan, reincarnating as the true spirit of the Five Elements Dharma Body?" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Hongyun could easily guess the relationship between the Five Emperors and Li Xuanyang, and couldn't help but cup his hands in return and ask.

“It is indeed the reincarnation of my Five Elements Dharma Body True Spirit,” Li Xuanyang nodded in acknowledgment.

"No wonder when you established the Five Emperors, you spoke of the Five Elements and Five Directions of the Heavenly Cycle. It turns out that you had already planned to reincarnate as the True Spirit of the Five Elements Dharma Body back then." At this point, Hongyun's eyes lit up, full of admiration for Li Xuanyang's idea.

He originally thought that a group of fallen innate gods and demons and quasi-saints who were reincarnated as true spirits would gain an opportunity for nothing, but he did not expect that Li Xuanyang would be reincarnated as the true spirit of the Five Elements Dharma Body.

"Fellow Daoist's Five Elements Dharma Body was created by entrusting the Five Elements Great Dao Laws of his own innate nature to the Five Directions Banner, which corresponds to the Five Elements and Five Directions of the Heavenly Cycle, as well as the Five Emperors." Fuxi was also deeply impressed by Li Xuanyang's Five Elements Dharma Body, and it was truly incredible that he could come up with such a profound method.

"Now that they have become the Five Emperors, there must be some mysterious changes."

Regardless, the Five Emperors all occupied the position of Holy Emperor.

If it were any other innate gods or demons, or quasi-saints with great supernatural powers, reincarnated as one of the Five Emperors, even if all five emperors gathered together, they would not be able to unleash the power of the Holy Emperor's position.

After all, each of the Five Emperors only occupied one-fifth of the Holy Emperor's position, and was not the Holy Emperor of the human race.

However, Li Xuanyang's Five Elements Dharma Body is different. It not only originates from one body, but also controls the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array.

Unexpected changes can occur.

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you, fellow Daoist.” Hearing Fuxi’s words, Li Xuanyang looked at the Five Emperors not far away and said, “Besides dealing with the matter of Xuanyuan and the Dao of All Beings, there are indeed other mysterious changes.”

At this point, Li Xuanyang didn't elaborate, but instead withdrew his gaze and said to Fuxi and Hongyun, "You two fellow Daoists might as well observe the situation quietly for now, and you will naturally know the details of the changes in due time."

It wasn't that Li Xuanyang didn't want to talk about it, but rather that he was only guessing and experimenting with the changes in the Five Elements Dharma Body and the Innate Five Directions Flags. Even he wasn't sure if he could transform the Innate Five Elements into the Chaotic Five Elements, or even if he could evolve the Zhou Tian Five Elements into the Chaotic Five Elements.

Although they seem to have no difference, the former contains a far greater mystery than the latter.

The former can not only transform the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array into the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, but also enhance the Daoist cultivation and supernatural powers of the Five Elements Dharma Body, and lay the foundation for improving the quality of the Innate Five Directions Flags in the future.

The latter, at most, could use the mysteries of the Chaos Pearl to transform the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array into the Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array. Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Hongyun and Fuxi both revealed curious expressions and looked towards the Five Emperors not far away.

The innate divine light emanating from the Five Innate Banners grew ever more magnificent, gradually spreading out from the Three Flowers of the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirits. Then, the five innate divine lights slowly merged together.

Suddenly, it transformed into countless rays of light, falling upon each human until it merged with the fortune of every human.

The five emperors shouted in unison, "The five emperors return to their positions, and humanity is restored!"

As soon as the words fell, countless human fortunes materialized out of thin air, were gathered together by the Five Emperors, and fell into the void, thus revealing the human way.

The next moment, each of the five emperors pointed to the Five Primordial Banners within the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, transforming them into a divine light that rushed into the human realm, entrusting them to the human realm.

"Use the Five Primordial Banners to replace the primordial spirit and entrust it to the human realm!" Fuxi was stunned for a moment, then understood Li Xuanyang's plan.

Although the position of Holy Emperor is desirable, Li Xuanyang is a Primordial Golden Immortal. If he were to entrust the primordial spirit of his Five Elements Dharma Body to the human realm, he would inevitably be subject to some human constraints, which would be counterproductive.

The Five Banners of the Primordial Chaos are different; they are merely Primordial Spiritual Treasures. Even though they are subject to the constraints of human nature, they have no effect on Li Xuanyang.

Moreover, Li Xuanyang had been in charge of the Kongtong Seal for countless years, so he naturally knew that innate spiritual treasures were subject to the constraints of human morality and were almost dispensable.

Unless one day humanity perishes and is completely transformed into the way of all living beings in the primordial world, it will not affect the innate spiritual treasure itself.

However, as the Five Primordial Banners gradually took root in the human realm and occupied a position of Holy Emperor, a trace of the laws of chaos and the aura of the Primordial Chaos gradually emerged from them.

Such a sight naturally caused everyone's expressions to change slightly, and they all looked towards the Five Banners of the Primordial Heaven.

In an instant, the five primordial flags shone brightly, each emanating a powerful aura that caused auspicious energy to suddenly fill the void, its radiance illuminating the entire primordial land.

All the humans knelt down and kowtowed towards the Five Emperors and the Five Primordial Banners, shouting, "May the Five Emperors live forever!"

At this moment, all the saints and quasi-saints with great supernatural powers in the primordial world, as well as countless living beings and cultivators, all looked up at the void above.

Such an astonishing phenomenon, such overwhelming power, all clearly indicate that one has attained sainthood and, to be precise, the position of a saintly emperor.

Surprisingly, besides the Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man, there are also Holy Sovereigns among the human race who have attained enlightenment.

At this moment, countless living beings and cultivators rode the clouds and flew towards the location of the Five Emperors.

The Five Emperors remained indifferent to this, and from their respective three flowers of primordial spirit, a ray of innate divine light burst forth and fell into the human realm.

It actually manifested the Innate Five Elements Array Diagram, which fell together with the Innate Five Directional Flags, gradually merging and merging with each other, causing even the Innate Five Elements Array Diagram to undergo subtle changes.

"The Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram!" Fuxi exclaimed softly, recognizing the Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram at a glance. "The Primordial Five Directional Flags and the Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram!"

As Fuxi sensed the gradual changes arising from the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array, a horrifying thought began to form in his mind. He couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyang and said, "Fellow Daoist's Five Elements Dharma Body first used the Five Primordial Banners to replace the primordial spirit and entrust it to the human realm. Then, it summoned the Five Primordial Elements Array and placed it on top of the array, where they evolved together."

"But is it for the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array?"

Upon hearing this, Hongyun was greatly surprised. The Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Formation was one of the four great killing formations of the prehistoric world, second only to the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation of the Wu Clan and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of the Shangqing Daoist.

Now that he has obtained the Holy Emperor's position, the power he wields is beyond even Hongyun's comprehension.

"It's all for the sake of the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array!" Li Xuanyang nodded and said to Fuxi and Hongyun, "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Fellow Daoist Fuxi."

Back then, the Taoist Shangqing visited Li Xuanyang and Fuxi at Huoyun Cave, intending to enhance the power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Finally, Li Xuanyang explained the Five Elements Dharma Body Method, while Fuxi revealed the Primordial Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

This reminded Li Xuanyang of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array.

Li Xuanyang explained his plan to Fuxi and Hongyun in detail, and also recounted the transformation of the Five Elements of Zhou Tian into the Chaos Five Elements.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, both Fuxi and Hongyun were dumbfounded, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Especially when he thought of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, Fuxi's expression changed, and he actually began to deduce it directly with his primordial spirit.

"In that case, wouldn't your Innate Five Directions Flag and Innate Five Elements Array Diagram be able to transform into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!" Hongyun exclaimed in surprise, actually thinking of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

"Fellow Daoist is joking." Hearing Hongyun's words, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but chuckle. "This humble Daoist only intends to transform the Five Elements of Zhou Tian into the Five Elements of Chaos, not into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

Although the Holy Emperor's position is extremely precious, it is far from enough to transform the Innate Five Directions Flags and the Innate Five Elements Array Diagram into Chaos Spiritual Treasures; in fact, it is not even possible.

The key to becoming a Chaos Treasure is not the Holy Emperor's position, but the almost complete and flawless Great Dao Laws.

The Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram are merely objects of human existence, and at most they can be transformed into human treasures similar to Heavenly Treasures, rather than Chaotic Spiritual Treasures.

After a long while, Fuxi suddenly exclaimed in amazement, "Fellow Daoist possesses that supreme treasure of primordial unity, which is sufficient to suppress the great formation. In addition, the changes in the Primordial Five Directions Flags and the Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram are enough to set up the Chaos Five Elements Five Directions Great Array."

The Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array is essentially a combination of the five elements and five directions, evolving into the method of chaos.

Once it is transformed into the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array according to Li Xuanyang's plan, its power and mystery will be no less than that of the Hunyuan Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array.

With the blessing of the Holy Emperor of Humanity, its power is probably even greater than that of the Primordial Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"Once the evolution of the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array is complete, I hope you will be able to display the Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array..." At this point, Fuxi suddenly hesitated, as he naturally intended to take a look at such a grand array.

However, given the profound mysteries of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, Fuxi feared that Li Xuanyang would refuse.

"Even if you hadn't said anything, I still intended to reveal this formation and erase a trace of Xuanyuan's primordial spirit from the human realm." Li Xuanyang didn't seem to care, but his tone was filled with a hint of killing intent.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Fuxi was overjoyed and was about to bow to Li Xuanyang in gratitude when he saw Li Xuanyang suddenly glance at the void and say, "Here they come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light flew from the direction of the East China Sea coast, approaching from afar, and fell into the void, transforming into a Taoist priest.

Seeing the evolved human way, along with the innate five flags and the innate five elements array within, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Entrust the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram to the Holy Emperor of Humanity!" Shangqing Daoist was greatly surprised. Then, a flash of cloud light appeared beneath his feet, and he arrived in front of Li Xuanyang and the other two. His tone was indescribably complicated.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

As he spoke, the Shangqing Daoist's gaze fell upon Li Xuanyang. "Fellow Daoist's actions are truly unexpected!"

The Holy Emperor's position is so precious that it is almost comparable to the Primordial Purple Qi.

It is enough to enable any quasi-saint with great supernatural powers to prove their Dao and become the fourth saint emperor of the human race, breaking through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

However, Li Xuanyang used the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram as his means of support, thus wasting the position of a Holy Emperor.
