Chapter 231 The Chaos Five Elements True Scripture and the Sword Battle Agreement (Please Subscribe)
This is an unparalleled formation that contains the supreme position of the Holy Emperor, the Primordial Dao, the Great Dao of Chaos and the Five Elements of Heavenly Stems.

This was the first time such a thing had been seen in the entire prehistoric world, and even the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, Nuwa, and other sages were extremely curious about it.

Moreover, the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array itself was evolved from the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, one of the four great killing arrays of the primordial world, and the immeasurable divine power it contains is extremely terrifying.

Naturally, no one wanted to miss the opportunity to see it.

"Fellow Daoists, please!" Li Xuanyang nodded to everyone, waved his hand, and sent out a divine light that fell into the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array.

The array, which was originally just a chaotic five-colored divine light without any manifestation of power, suddenly shone brightly, revealing the five gates of the east, west, south, north, and center. Streams of chaotic divine light emerged, divided according to the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In an instant, one after another Taoist appeared, who were the Five Elements Dharma Bodies. Each of them held a Primordial Five Elements Flag and derived their own Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao and Primordial Dao, presenting a strange scene.

The entire Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array underwent a dramatic transformation. Each of the five gates revealed the corresponding five chaotic elements of the Great Dao: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The center was a chaotic expanse, clearly revealing the profound mysteries of the Hunyuan Dao.

Just as everyone looked surprised and was about to take a closer look at this,

"The Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions!" Li Xuanyang suddenly shouted, and the scene inside the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Formation changed again, suddenly turning into a chaotic void.

Boundless primordial and chaotic energy emanated from it, raging in all directions, causing everyone to unleash their divine light to protect themselves.

Even so, most of the cultivators in the arena still looked terrified and retreated, moving away from the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array to avoid being affected.

"This formation contains the Great Dao of Chaos and the Dao of Primordial Chaos. I urge all fellow Daoists to be careful so as not to trigger the power of the formation. As for those below the level of Quasi-Saint, they must not approach!" Li Xuanyang stood outside the Great Formation of Primordial Chaos and the Five Elements and Five Directions and addressed the crowd.

These cultivators who came were numerous, each with different levels of cultivation and supernatural abilities. The powerful ones, such as the Three Pure Ones and other saints and holy emperors, were naturally not afraid of mere primordial energy and chaotic energy.

Those below the level of a Quasi-Saint and a Divine Ability, whether they are Golden Crane, Silver Crane, Nine-Headed Feathered Insect, disciples of the four sects of Xuanmen, or the many cultivators who have come, do not have such abilities. If they are not careful, they will be eroded by the overflowing Primordial Qi and Chaotic Qi, and thus perish here.

"What a magnificent formation! What overwhelming power!" Seeing the changes before him, Fuxi was greatly impressed and couldn't help but praise it.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me." Hearing Fuxi's words, Li Xuanyang chuckled and then reminded everyone again, "Since none of you have yet comprehended the Dao of Primordial Chaos, please each choose a different path to study it."

This Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array is unlike any ordinary array. It is all-encompassing, and even a Quasi-Saint with great supernatural powers cannot comprehend it all. At most, one can choose a Primordial Five Elements that suits one's own attributes to comprehend.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!" The Queen Mother of the West and other quasi-saints with great supernatural powers bowed to Li Xuanyang to express their gratitude.

In an instant, everyone sat cross-legged in the void, revealing their three flowers of primordial spirit. Above the auspicious clouds, all kinds of divine light soared into the sky and fell into the five gates of the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, using their primordial spirit divine sense to comprehend the mysteries contained within the gates.

Many cultivators in the distance also closed their eyes, immersing their minds in their primordial spirits, letting a wisp of primordial spirit energy emanate from their bodies, sensing the profound aura and various mysterious changes emanating from the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array.

Aside from the Three Pure Ones and other sages, as well as Fuxi and Hongyun, Kong Xuan had the deepest understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos and the Five Elements.

Li Xuanyang was not surprised by this. After all, Kong Xuan's cultivation and supernatural powers had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Moreover, he had cultivated the Innate Five Elements Great Dao Law, the Innate Five Elements Five-Colored Divine Light, and the Innate Five Elements True Scripture. His understanding of the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao was naturally superior to those of these Quasi-Saints with great supernatural powers.

Apart from them, only Zhen Yuanzi had the deepest understanding.

Zhen Yuanzi not only broke through to the peak of Quasi-Saint realm, but also established his Dao foundation with the Innate Earth Dao and the Innate Wood Dao. His understanding of the Chaos Wood Dao and the Chaos Earth Dao is far superior to that of Kong Xuan.

The others also had their own insights, and many cultivators who were stuck at the Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal levels hoped to comprehend the innate Five Elements Laws this time in order to break through their own cultivation levels.

Leaving aside how everyone comprehended the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, Li Xuanyang glanced at Yu the Great below, then transformed into a beam of divine light and landed in the center of the array. His body flashed with light, revealing thirty-six worlds, and he stepped inside.

"The Nine Cauldrons are meant to seal the destiny of all living beings in the primordial world; they cannot be forged by Yu the Great in his current state," Li Xuanyang muttered to himself, his mind once again filled with thoughts of the Nine Cauldrons.

While it is true that Yu the Great was the supreme ruler of the human race, he was not one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. His cultivation and supernatural powers were limited, and it was by no means easy for him to refine a supreme treasure of humanity.

Moreover, the supreme treasure of humanity used to suppress the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world must be of extraordinary quality.

"It seems that we can only refine the embryos of the Nine Cauldrons first, and then hand them over to Yu the Great to refine and nurture them, so as to suppress the human race in the Nine Provinces, integrate them into the human way, and seal the destiny of all living beings in the primordial world."

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang directly revealed his three primordial spirit flowers. Above a cloud of auspicious clouds the size of an acre, golden flames soared into the sky, which was none other than the Chaos Profound Yang True Fire.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang reached out and flicked his sleeve, taking out most of the copper he had collected from Shouyang Mountain years ago, and threw it all into the Chaos Xuanyang True Fire to refine and purify it.

The power of the Chaos Profound Yang True Fire is incredibly domineering.

Not to mention that the copper from Shou Mountain is just some copper essence, even Chaos Spiritual Materials cannot withstand the smelting of Chaos Profound Yang True Fire.

In a short while, the copper from the first mountain within the golden flames transformed into a mass of molten copper, which Li Xuanyang then refined into wisps of chaotic energy, innate divine runes, and various restrictions.

Only when the molten copper gradually exuded an ancient aura did Li Xuanyang retrieve some of the meritorious and mysterious energy from the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram and let it fall into the molten copper.

They gradually merged into one, transforming into enormous bronze cauldrons that floated and sank within the Chaotic Profound Yang True Fire, with innate divine runes and wisps of chaotic energy constantly being injected into their bodies.

Several decades passed in this way. Li Xuanyang changed his hand seals and unleashed a beam of chaotic divine light that broke through the barrier of the Xuanhuang Realm and fell into the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array. This caused the Kongtong Seal to shine brightly and manifest the human destiny.

The chaotic divine light unleashed by Li Xuanyang swept up wisps of human destiny, returning to the Xuanhuang Realm and merging into the nine bronze cauldrons, radiating dazzling brilliance.

If it weren't for being inside the Xuanhuang Realm, it would probably illuminate an area of ​​hundreds of millions of miles.

Even so, Fuxi and Hongyun, who were comprehending the Great Dao of Chaos and the Great Array of the Five Elements of Primordial Chaos, both showed a strange expression, as if they sensed the change in the fortune of humanity.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang, why did you use the Kongtong Seal to stir up the destiny of humanity!"

The two opened their eyes, their faces filled with doubt, and looked towards the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, but they did not see Li Xuanyang's figure. They could only suppress their doubts and close their eyes again to comprehend it.

At this moment, within the Xuanhuang Realm, the originally enormous bronze cauldron had transformed into numerous crystal-clear bronze cauldrons. Their bodies were clear and bright, like pure water, radiating a shimmering brilliance, revealing their extraordinary nature.

Looking at the nine bronze cauldrons that had been refined, Li Xuanyang nodded in satisfaction. "If they are nurtured by the merits and fortune of the human race for hundreds of millions of years, these nine bronze cauldrons may well transform into treasures of acquired merit."

The Nine Cauldrons were created to suppress the human race across the nine provinces and to seal the vital energy of all living beings in the primordial world; they are extraordinary in their own right.

In the future, as the merits and fortunes of the human race continue to nurture it, it will surely be transformed into a treasure of acquired merits. Its power and mystery may even surpass many innate spiritual treasures.

However, the current embryo of the Nine Cauldrons only contains a trace of the Qi of Merit and Humanity, and has not yet been nurtured by the merit and fortune of the human race.

"That's enough for now." Li Xuanyang waved his hand and put away the Chaotic Profound Yang True Fire and the Nine Cauldrons Embryo.

"Now that more than a hundred years have passed, it's time to leave." A golden cloud flashed beneath Li Xuanyang's feet, and he left the Xuanhuang Realm, returning to the formation and storing away the thirty-six worlds.

The next moment, a divine light suddenly burst forth from Li Xuanyang's three primordial spirit flowers, taking in the innate five elements flag, the innate five elements array diagram, and the Kongtong Seal, all of which were then absorbed into the three primordial spirit flowers.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuanyang's divine light subsided, the three flowers disappeared, the auspicious clouds dissipated, and he withdrew the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array.

The group, who were deep in meditation, were suddenly shaken and felt the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array disappear. They were awakened from their meditation and withdrew their three flowers of primordial spirit. The strange phenomenon in the void then dissipated.

However, the group did not get up immediately. Most of them were still savoring their insights. It wasn't until quite a while later that they gradually opened their eyes and stood up.

Seeing that Kong Xuan had regained consciousness, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but ask him, "Did you gain any insights this time?"

Kong Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I have indeed gained something. I plan to find a strand of innate Jia wood energy to replace the innate Yi wood energy for cultivating the Five Elements Dharma Body!"

The two Five Elements Dharma Bodies that Kong Xuan created were formed by combining the innate Earth Qi and the innate Water Qi with his own innate Fire Qi.

If one were to gather the innate Jia wood energy and the innate Geng metal energy, it would perfectly correspond to the Yang elements among the Five Elements of the Heavenly Stems, and even transform one's own innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws and innate Five Elements Five-Colored Divine Light into the innate Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren Great Dao Laws and innate Divine Light. "However!" At this point, Kong Xuan's face showed a hint of difficulty, and he suddenly asked Li Xuanyang, "Teacher, do you know the whereabouts of the innate Jia wood energy?"

The whereabouts of the innate Geng metal energy is common knowledge and needs no further explanation.

Kong Xuan had never heard of the whereabouts of the innate Jia wood energy.

"Hehe, speaking of which," Zhen Yuanzi said to Li Xuanyang as he saw Li Xuanyang and Kong Xuan discussing the innate Jia wood energy, "I also intend to find a trace of innate Jia wood energy and innate Ji earth energy in order to try to improve my own cultivation!"

Among the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, Zhen Yuanzi possesses the Innate Wood Great Dao Law and the Innate Earth Great Dao Law. If he could gather the Innate Wood Great Dao Law and the Innate Earth Great Dao Law, with Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation and supernatural powers, he might be able to derive the Chaotic Wood Great Dao Law and the Chaotic Earth Great Dao Law.

"Fellow Daoist, please do not ask me about this matter." After hearing their words, Li Xuanyang chuckled, seemingly glancing at the Queen Mother of the West, and then transmitted his voice to Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the Five-Needle Pine?"

"What?" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up. The five-needle pine was not only an innate spiritual root, but also contained the innate five elements energy, which was the yang element in the yin-yang five elements of the heavenly stems, and had the innate wood energy.

Zhen Yuanzi remained expressionless and asked Li Xuanyang telepathically, "Fellow Daoist, have you obtained the Five-Needle Pine?"

"It's not me," Li Xuanyang shook his head and said, "After this matter is over, you might as well pay a visit to Fellow Daoist Xi Wangmu!"

After saying this, Li Xuanyang said no more, only glancing at the Queen Mother of the West once more, his meaning self-evident.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but look towards the Queen Mother of the West.

"Teacher!" Seeing Li Xuanyang suddenly fall silent, Kong Xuan couldn't help but call out to him in a low voice.

"There's no need to ask further. You'll understand when the time comes." Li Xuanyang shook his head and didn't say anything more to Kong Xuan. In any case, given Kong Xuan's cultivation level, there was no rush.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, a strange expression flashed across Kong Xuan's face, clearly indicating that Li Xuanyang's words seemed to contain a deeper meaning.

"Fellow Daoist's Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, as well as the Primordial Five Elements Great Dao and the Heavenly Stems Yin Yang Five Elements, are truly wondrous beyond words." Shangqing Daoist suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to Li Xuanyang.

"Alas, it is probably not easy to gather all the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements." At this point, Daoist Shangqing shook his head, revealing a hint of regret.

The Heavenly Stems, representing Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, include Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, Ren, Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui. The former are Yang, while the latter are Yin.

It requires gathering ten kinds of innate five elements laws or innate five elements energies, which is no easy task.

Not to mention that innate resources are becoming increasingly scarce in the primordial world today, even at the beginning of time, gathering ten kinds of innate energy would probably not have been an easy task.

The same applies to comprehending the ten innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws out of thin air.

Even with the knowledge of the Daoist Shangqing, he had only seen Li Xuanyang's Five Elements Flags, which contained the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.

In comparison, even Kong Xuan's innate Five Elements Spirit Pearl only contains the Yang Five Elements.

“Fellow Daoist is right. It is not impossible to gather all five elements of the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.” Fuxi nodded in agreement. “Most of the innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world that contain all five elements are of the Yang element, and there are very few of the Yin element.”

"In my humble opinion, rather than painstakingly gathering all the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, it would be better to gather one or two of them and use them to comprehend the Great Dao of the Chaos Five Elements," Hongyun said, looking at Zhen Yuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao is too profound. For an ordinary cultivator to be able to gather one or two of the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements is already an immense opportunity, enough to comprehend one aspect of the Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao." Daoist Taiqing greatly agreed with Hongyun's words. If one could gather one or two of the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements from the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even for the quasi-saints and great supernatural beings present, this is a great opportunity, enough to comprehend the Great Dao of the Five Elements of Chaos.

"Why don't you transform the Chaos Five Elements Dao contained in this formation into a Daoist scripture?" Shangqing Daoist thought of the four sword Dao scriptures he had created from his understanding of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

The Five Elements of Chaos contained within the Five Primordial Banners can also be used to comprehend a true Daoist scripture. Its power and mystery must be extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, everyone pondered, realizing that what Shangqing Daoist said made sense, and they all looked at Li Xuanyang.

Kong Xuan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Xuanyang with great anticipation.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Li Xuanyang was somewhat amused and exasperated. He said to Shangqing Daoist in a somewhat irritable tone, "Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten that it was I who reminded you last time to use the Four Swords of Zhuxian as a guide to deduce the true essence of the sword path!"

"Moreover, as my fellow Daoists have already mentioned, it is by no means easy to gather the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements. Even if I were to comprehend a true Daoist scripture from it, how would I then guide my disciples to cultivate it?"

"Besides, I am not lacking in a true Daoist scripture." After Li Xuanyang finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Leaving aside the difficulty of gathering all the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, Li Xuanyang's Chaotic Undying Body, the Innate Profound Yang True Scripture, the Innate Five Elements True Scripture, and the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture alone are enough for his disciples to cultivate.

Why bother to painstakingly comprehend a Taoist scripture that cannot be practiced?

Only Kong Xuan seemed hesitant to speak, clearly having a different opinion.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Shangqing Daoist couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. I have almost perfected those four sword dao scriptures."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun's eyes lit up, and he immediately suggested to Daoist Shangqing, "Why don't you have a duel with Daoist Xuanyang's Tai Xuan Sword Scripture, so as to recreate the sword duel agreement at Buzhou Mountain!"

The duel at Buzhou Mountain!
Everyone looked towards Li Xuanyang and the Shangqing Daoist.

Although most of them had never participated in the sword duel at Buzhou Mountain, they had heard about it countless times.

Now that Hongyun has suddenly proposed to recreate the sword duel at Buzhou Mountain, it could be a grand event in the prehistoric world.

"Excellent!" The Shangqing Daoist's eyes gleamed brightly as he laughed and said to Li Xuanyang, "I have long wanted to see Fellow Daoist Xuanyang's Tai Xuan Sword Scripture and sword techniques again. I just don't know what you think?"

"Since you have invited me, I will gladly oblige!" As he spoke, a sword's cry rang out around Li Xuanyang, clearly indicating that he also wanted to witness the power of the four sword dao scriptures that Shangqing Daoist had comprehended.

"Three thousand years from now, we will return to Mount Buzhou and once again duel and discuss the Dao." Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's agreement, the Shangqing Daoist immediately set the date for a duel and discussion of the Dao three thousand years later.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Li Xuanyang's Tai Xuan Sword Scripture and sword skills are beyond question; they are unparalleled in attack and defense. Shangqing Daoren's sword skills are also unmatched in the primordial world. Furthermore, he comprehended four true sword scriptures using the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

The two of them engaging in a sword duel and discussing philosophy must have been no small matter.

Even the usually silent Yuqing Daoist, the two Western Saints, and Nuwa revealed a hint of surprise.

As Li Xuanyang and the Shangqing Daoist made their agreement to duel and discuss Dao, everyone rose to take their leave.

After a short while, only Li Xuanyang, Kong Xuan, Jin He, Yin He Tongzi, and Jiu Tou Yu Chong remained in the arena.

"Give this item to Yu the Great, and let him collect the essence of the five elements, then nurture it with the merits and fortune of the human race, and use it to divide the primordial inland land and suppress the land of the nine provinces."

Before leaving, Li Xuanyang handed over the embryos of the Nine Cauldrons he had refined to Kong Xuan and gave him instructions on dividing the nine provinces of the human race and nurturing the Nine Cauldrons.

"Disciple will respectfully obey Master's decree!" After bowing to Li Xuanyang, Kong Xuan suddenly hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang naturally understood that Kong Xuan's hesitation was nothing more than the matter of the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Great Dao of Chaos and the Five Elements, and even the True Scripture of Chaos and the Five Elements.

"Instead of overthinking, it's better to focus on cultivating your own path," Li Xuanyang said to Kong Xuan. A golden cloud flashed beneath his feet, and he headed towards the East Sea.
