Chapter 230 The Heavenly Stems, Five Elements, and Erasing Xuanyuan's Primordial Spirit (Please Subscribe)
Even the Shangqing Daoist felt a pang of regret when he looked at Li Xuanyang, as well as the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram in the void.

"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware of this!" Seeing Shangqing Daoist's expression, Li Xuanyang knew exactly what he was thinking. He smiled and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "The Three Sovereigns have returned to their positions, and the Five Emperors have been born. The position of Holy Emperor is no longer the same. This is the will of Heaven. It is not that I, this humble Daoist, intentionally occupied the position of Holy Emperor."

Even if Li Xuanyang had not reincarnated as one of the Five Emperors with the true spirit of the Five Elements Dharma Body, there would have been other innate gods and demons or quasi-saints with great supernatural powers who would have reincarnated as one of the Five Emperors. It would have been impossible for a fourth human emperor to attain enlightenment.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Shangqing Daoist suddenly felt the fog in the darkness dissipate, and the heavenly secrets about the Five Emperors were revealed, and he vaguely understood.

“No wonder I always felt that the matter of the Five Emperors was a mystery. I originally thought it was due to the protection of human fortune, but I didn’t expect it to be from the three of you.” Shangqing Daoist’s gaze fell on Li Xuanyang, Fuxi and Hongyun.

Clearly, the three of them already knew about the Five Emperors, and had even stirred up the human destiny to completely conceal the secrets of the Five Emperors.

Li Xuanyang, Fuxi, and Hongyun all smiled without saying a word, which made Shangqing Daoist reveal an expression of "I understand now".

"However!" Daoist Shangqing suddenly looked at the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram in the Human Realm, "Does Fellow Daoist have some deeper meaning behind this action?"

"Fellow Daoist, you will know soon!" Li Xuanyang didn't say much, just chuckled, stood in the void, and remained silent.

Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Shangqing Daoist's eyes, but he did not ask any further questions.

In a short while, Taiqing Daoist, Yuqing Daoist, the two Western Saints, and Nuwa arrived first, followed by Zhen Yuanzi, Xi Wangmu, Xuanyin Daoist, and other quasi-saints with great supernatural powers, as well as Zilian Daoist and Heilian Daoist, and many disciples from the four sects of Xuanmen.

These saints and quasi-saints, who are rarely seen in ordinary times, gathered once again in the primordial interior, even more than when they came to the Ancestral Witch Hall last time.

The crowd saw Li Xuanyang standing in the void with Fuxi, Hongyun, and Shangqing Daoist.

Not far away, the five emperors each revealed their primordial spirits and three flowers, which, together with the innate five flags and the innate five elements array diagram that evolved from each other in the human realm, and the gradually emerging trace of the chaotic great law and the primordial way, made him ponder deeply.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask what your intention is in doing this?" A strange light flashed in Yuqing Daoist's eyes as he cupped his hands and asked Li Xuanyang.

"I, Li Xuanyang, use the Five Elements Dharma Body method to evolve the Primordial Chaos Dao. Fellow Daoists, why don't you calmly observe and see what happens?" Li Xuanyang looked at the crowd without offering any further explanation.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang mention the Five Elements Dharma Body, Shangqing Daoist trembled, his eyes blazing with golden light. Looking at the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram in the Human Realm, as well as the Five Emperors not far away, he vaguely realized Li Xuanyang's plan.

The same applies to Zhen Yuanzi and Xuan Yin Dao Ren.

The others had different expressions as they all looked at the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram in the Human Realm.

After several dozen days, the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array in the human realm gradually evolved into perfection. Suddenly, a change occurred, causing Shao Hao, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Emperor Yao, and Emperor Shun to radiate divine light.

Immediately afterwards, the innate divine light above the three flowers of the primordial spirit converged together, gradually giving rise to a mysterious and profound feeling, and evolving into the mutual generation of the five elements.

First, Geng and Xin metal generate Ren and Gui water, then Ren and Gui water generate Jia and Yi wood, then Jia and Yi wood generate Bing and Ding fire, then Bing and Ding fire generate Wu and Ji earth, and finally Wu and Ji earth generate Geng and Xin metal again. This process continues to generate each other, forming a complete cycle, seemingly endless.

"This is derived from the innate Five Elements Great Dao!" Master Du'e couldn't help but exclaim, causing many cultivators in the arena to show surprise and sense it with their primordial spirits.

"No!" Upon hearing Master Du'e's exclamation, Kong Xuan frowned, vaguely noticing something unusual. It wasn't just a derivation of the Innate Five Elements Great Dao, but rather the perfection of the Innate Five Elements.

Whether it was ordinary living beings or cultivators, or quasi-saints and great supernatural beings like Zhen Yuanzi, or Kong Xuan when he cultivated the innate five elements, they all only cultivated Jia wood, Bing fire, Wu earth, Geng metal, Ren water or Yi wood, Ding fire, Ji earth, Xin metal, Gui water.

However, what the Five Emperors revealed before them was a combination of the two, which was no longer a derivation of the ordinary innate Five Elements Great Dao.

"This is derived from the Heavenly Stems and Five Elements of the Primordial Five Elements Dao." Taiqing Daoist glanced at Du'e Zhenren below and explained calmly.

Upon hearing this, Master Du'e blushed and hurriedly bowed to Daoist Taiqing, saying, "This disciple thanks Master for clearing up my doubts!"

"The Heavenly Stems and Five Elements are derived!" Upon hearing the words of the Taoist Master Taiqing, Kong Xuan seemed to have gained some understanding, and the innate five elements and five-colored divine light he revealed actually underwent a slight change.

The saints and quasi-saints with great supernatural powers in the void all showed expressions of surprise.

"Fellow Daoist has taken in a fine disciple!" As he spoke, Daoist Shangqing seemed to glance at Daoist Yuqing, a smile appearing on his face.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang nodded at Kong Xuan with satisfaction, and then said to him, "The Heavenly Stems and Five Elements are divided into Yin and Yang. Among them, Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are Yang, while Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui are Yin. When the two are combined, they form the Chaotic Five Elements Method, which can also be called the Primordial Five Elements Number."

Before the words were finished, the innate divine light on the three flowers of the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirit changed again, transforming from the Five Elements into the Five Elements' mutual restraint, fully demonstrating the wonder of the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements of the Heavenly Stems.

The next moment, it suddenly rushed into the human realm, landing on the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, and once again, changes occurred.

Suddenly, a faint gray light appeared on the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, gradually combining the elements of Geng and Xin (metal), Jia and Yi (wood), Bing and Ding (fire), Ren and Gui (water), and Wu and Ji (earth) in pairs.

Then, in conjunction with the Holy Emperor's throne, the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram transformed the Primordial Five Elements Great Dao Laws contained within them into the Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao Laws, even exuding the aura of the Primordial Dao.

"The five elements of chaos unite, and the primordial chaos becomes the Dao!" The five emperors shouted in unison, pointing to the innate five flags and the innate five elements array diagram in the human realm, transforming them into rays of light that fell into their respective primordial spirits and three flowers, merging with themselves.

In an instant, the five emperors gradually disappeared, leaving only the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram hanging high in the void, from which a faint sound could be heard.

"The Five Elements and Five Directions of Hunyuan Return to Their Positions!"

The next moment, the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array both emitted boundless chaotic divine light, illuminating an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles, displaying supreme divine might.

This chaotic divine light is different from Li Xuanyang's chaotic divine light. It is not a hazy gray, but rather has the colors of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and can be called the chaotic five elements five colors divine light.

"The Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions!" Upon seeing the changes before him, Li Xuanyang exclaimed with delight. The next moment, golden clouds flashed beneath his feet, and he arrived in front of him, revealing the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit.

"Fellow Daoists, why not take a look!" As he spoke, five innate five-directional flags and an innate five-element array diagram hung high above Li Xuanyang's three primordial spirit flowers, radiating billions of rays of light, revealing the profound mystery of the five elements and five directions of the primordial chaos, and actually forming an array.

Even though Li Xuanyang did not use the Chaos Pearl to suppress the great formation, the formation still contained the five elements and five directions of the Primordial Chaos, which reversed Yin and Yang and the five elements, giving rise to a chaotic world.

It can cover hundreds of millions of miles of void, where the chaotic elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth intersect and transform into the Primordial Dao, manifesting all sorts of incredible mysteries and presenting the five gates of the east, south, west, north, and center.

A blue lotus-colored flag hangs above the east gate, a fiery light flag hangs above the south gate, a plain-colored cloud-bound flag hangs above the west gate, a northern black-yuan water-controlling flag hangs above the north gate, and an apricot-yellow flag hangs above the central gate.

It was as if the five-colored divine light of chaos had emerged, but no power was manifested whatsoever.

It doesn't look like a supreme array; it's more like Li Xuanyang's Xuanhuang Realm.

However, everyone's expression changed, as if they sensed a chill in the darkness.

This applies to the Three Pure Ones, the Two Western Saints, Nuwa, and other saints and emperors such as Fuxi and Hongyun.

"The Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation!" Before Li Xuanyang could speak, the Shangqing Daoist blurted out the name of the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation, his expression filled with delight.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyang, your mastery of array formations is truly unparalleled in the primordial world, far surpassing my own by several levels."

Shangqing Daoist didn't think much of Li Xuanyang's earlier evolution into the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array. He only thought of his own Zhuxian Sword Array and the Hunyuan Zhuxian Sword Array that Fuxi had mentioned that day, which made him even more excited and determined to obtain the Chaos Bell.

"This is the Five Elements Dharma Body Method!" Daoist Taiqing looked at the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array in front of him, but was thinking about the Five Elements Dharma Body Method that Li Xuanyang had just mentioned, as well as the changes that the Five Emperors and the Primordial Five Directions Flags had produced, and fell into deep thought.

The expressions of Yuqing Daoist and the two Western Saints changed, and a hint of apprehension appeared in their eyes.

Li Xuanyang was already difficult to deal with because he possessed many innate spiritual treasures and the Chaos Undying Body. Now that he has transformed the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array into the Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, he will likely be even more difficult to deal with.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array?" Fuxi's face showed a strange expression, vaguely sensing something amiss. It seemed that the Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array before him was not yet perfect.

However, even with Fuxi's Taoist cultivation, supernatural powers, and mastery of formations, he could not see through the mysteries of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Formation at this moment, relying only on a slight intuition.

"The Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Evolution!" Within the formation, Li Xuanyang suddenly pointed to the Primordial Five Elements Formation Diagram, using it to activate the Primordial Five Directions Flags. Instantly, the entire Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation transformed into countless divine lights that spread and fell into the human realm.

"Kongtong Seal!" Li Xuanyang shouted again, manifesting the Kongtong Seal from the human realm and placing it into the formation.

A moment later, Xuanyuan's voice faintly echoed from within the human realm.

"Chaos evolves, the five elements generate and restrain each other, and the five directions change endlessly!"

"This is the innate five elements and five directions formation!"

"Wait, it even contains the Primordial Chaos Dao and the Five Elements of Chaos!"

"This is the Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Formation!"

"Heh, you do have some knowledge!"

"Then do you know what I plan to do next?" Li Xuanyang said with a light laugh, pointing at the Kongtong Seal that had fallen into the formation. He used it to suppress the formation, and together with the Five Primordial Banners, he directed them toward the Human Realm occupied by Xuanyuan.

"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps intend to use the Kongtong Seal as a guide to erase my primordial spirit and true soul, which I have entrusted to the human realm, with the power of the formation?" Xuanyuan chuckled, as if he had already guessed Li Xuanyang's actions.

"So what if it is!" As soon as Li Xuanyang finished speaking, the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array started operating completely.

The crowd outside the formation was taken aback, and they all looked puzzled, wondering why Li Xuanyang was acting this way.

Fuxi and Hongyun exchanged a glance and simultaneously recalled what Li Xuanyang had said earlier. Could it be that he really intended to use the power of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array to completely erase Xuanyuan's primordial spirit from the human realm?

If this is true, it will not only eliminate hidden dangers in humanity, but may even reverse the trend of transforming into the path of all living beings in the primordial world.

Who knows, he might even regain the title of Holy Emperor, completing the three emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

However, as the chaotic divine light derived from the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array fell, the fortune gathered by all living beings and the various laws contained in the human path were all refined into nothingness by the chaotic divine light, gradually revealing a trace of the primordial spirit that Xuanyuan had entrusted to it.

"What?" Xuanyuan was shocked. He felt that not only was the power of humanity occupied by the Kongtong Seal eroding the power of humanity he occupied, but the Five Banners of the Primordial Chaos had also occupied a portion of the power of humanity at some point. It descended with the divine might of the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array of Hunyuan, intending to refine all the traces of his primordial spirit and the fortune gathered by all living beings in the prehistoric world.

"Li Xuanyang, I underestimated you."

"I never imagined that you would be able to seize a portion of the power of humanity with the Five Primordial Banners and even entrust it to them. You even managed to deceive me. You are truly skilled."

"But you have forgotten one thing. I am one of the three emperors of the human race, and I once established the way of humanity for all living beings in the primordial world. I am protected by the merits and fortune of the human race and all living beings in the primordial world."

At this point, Xuanyuan couldn't help but reveal a cold smile, "Even if you can use the Kongtong Seal and the Innate Five Elements Flag to activate the power of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array and refine the laws of humanity and the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world."

"But it cannot last long, otherwise it will certainly damage one's own merits and fortune, not to mention erasing my primordial spirit and true soul."

“Fellow Daoist is right. This action will indeed damage my own merits and fortune. I cannot completely erase your primordial spirit and true soul.” Upon hearing Xuanyuan’s words, Li Xuanyang actually nodded and said.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang's tone changed, and he suddenly laughed, "But when did I ever say that I would only rely on the power of the formation?"

Before Xuanyuan could react, a surge of power suddenly erupted from Li Xuanyang's body. It was none other than the pressure of Pangu and the divine might of creation. He integrated it into the three flowers of his primordial spirit, transforming it into a beam of chaotic divine light that descended toward the human realm.

Although the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array is powerful and majestic, it also has the Innate Five Directions Flags, the Kongtong Seal, and the Suppression Array, which can draw upon the power of humanity.

However, it will ultimately damage Li Xuanyang's own merits and fortune.

However, the pressure of Pangu and the divine might of creation are different. Both of them are derived from the heart of Pangu and are left behind by the great god Pangu. The heavens and earth and all living things in the primordial world all originated from the great god Pangu, so they will not damage Li Xuanyang's merits and fortune.

Previously, the use of the Kongtong Seal and the Five Primordial Banners to draw upon the power of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array was merely to refine some human power and the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world, and to reveal a trace of Xuanyuan's primordial spirit.

In an instant, the chaotic divine light unleashed by Li Xuanyang, containing the pressure of Pangu and the divine might of creation, fell directly into a wisp of Xuanyuan's primordial spirit.

Before Xuanyuan could react, it transformed into an unparalleled divine power, obliterating him into ashes and erasing him completely from the realm of humanity.

However, Li Xuanyang frowned. The place where Xuanyuan had originally occupied was still being filled with wisps of the primordial fortune of all living beings, as if it were an endless source.

"This matter is rather troublesome!" Li Xuanyang glanced into the void and frowned slightly.

"Transforming the Way of Humanity into the Way of All Beings in the Primordial World is the cycle of Heaven, which can be said to be the destiny of Heaven. Even the Holy Emperor and the Five Emperors of the Human Race could not completely stop it. At most, they could only seal it down again, using the fortune of the Human Race to block the fortune of all beings in the Primordial World. Only in this way can we ensure that the Way of Humanity is not lost."

However, neither Li Xuanyang's Kongtong Seal and the Five Banners of the Primordial Realm, nor Fuxi's Eight Trigrams Diagram and Hongyun's spiritual treasure can be used indefinitely to suppress the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world.

As for the Human Emperor Sword, it was ultimately Xuanyuan's artifact used to prove his Dao, and it was not suitable for use here.

Unless another human treasure or a supreme treasure of the human race is forged.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but think of Yu the Great and the Nine Tripods of the human race in later generations, which were used to suppress the fortune of the nine provinces of the human race.

No matter how the primordial land changes in the future, the nine provinces that the primordial interior has become have all been occupied by the human race, and this has remained the case even after countless years.

"Nine Cauldrons, that's not a bad idea!" With that thought, Li Xuanyang withdrew the power of the formation, concealed his humanity, created a portal, and stepped outside.

Upon seeing Li Xuanyang emerge, Fuxi and Hongyun's eyes lit up. They could naturally sense the changes in the human realm just now, and they nodded to Li Xuanyang, exchanging a smile.

Although the mission was not entirely successful, a trace of Xuanyuan's primordial spirit was erased regardless.

However, neither Li Xuanyang, nor Fuxi, nor Hongyun mentioned this matter.

After all, this concerns the throne of a Holy Emperor. If the other Holy Ones were to learn of this, it would surely cause a great uproar.

Moreover, the portion of humanity that Xuanyuan originally possessed still has strands of the primordial fortune of all living beings gathered from it, and it must not be taken over by outsiders, otherwise, the events of Xuanyuan might be repeated.

"With the Five Elements Dharma Body, the Primordial Five Elements Flags, the Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram, and the Holy Emperor's Venerable Position, I transformed the Primordial Five Elements Five Elements Grand Array into the Primordial Five Elements Five Elements Grand Array."

Li Xuanyang glanced at everyone, then turned and pointed to the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, saying, "If any of you fellow Daoists have any questions, you may wish to take a look here!"

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all bowed to him, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist!"

Although it was only a glimpse from outside the formation, rather than an opportunity to enter and gain insights, everyone still didn't want to miss it.
