Chapter 232 The Primordial Dao and the Great Dao of Chaos, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements (Please Subscribe)
Li Xuanyang had his own plan for this matter. Whether it was the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Great Dao of Chaos, or the True Scripture of Chaos, they were all undeniably supreme paths.

But for Kong Xuan at present, it is too far away.

If the goal is simply to collect all the Heavenly Stems and the Five Elements, that's perfectly fine.

However, if one wants to gather the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements to derive the Great Dao of Chaos Five Elements...

It would be better to continue cultivating one's own innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws and sever the remaining Five Elements Dharma Bodies as soon as possible, rather than being greedy for more and more.

To be honest, if one wants to derive the Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao from the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, it would be best to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm and master the innate Five Elements Great Dao laws before even considering it.

Even with Li Xuanyang's cultivation level and possession of the Five Elements of Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements of the Primordial Five Elements, it was only through the guidance of the Holy Emperor's position that he was able to evolve it into the Great Dao of Chaos Five Elements.

This shows how difficult it is to cultivate the Great Dao of Chaos and the Five Elements.

After returning to Xuan Yang Mountain, Li Xuan Yang descended on auspicious clouds and entered a palace. He sat on a cloud bed, waved his hand, and took out the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, intending to refine them again.

Although Li Xuanyang had obtained the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram over countless years and had long since perfected them, otherwise he would not have been able to use them to entrust his own Primordial Five Elements Great Dao Laws and transform them into five Five Elements Dharma Bodies.

But now, not only has it acquired the Holy Emperor's position, it has also transformed into the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law, so it must be refined again.

Looking at the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram before him, Li Xuanyang suddenly unleashed a divine light that fell upon them. After being absorbed by the Five Primordial Flags and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, it caused golden light to overflow from them, illuminating several feet around them, with shimmering light flowing around them.

"What a wondrous transformation!" Li Xuanyang exclaimed in praise. Then, a flash of divine light appeared around him, revealing the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit. Above a cloud of auspiciousness the size of an acre, the Primordial Profound Yang Divine Light emerged and fell into the Primordial Five Directions Flag and the Primordial Five Elements Array Diagram, drawing them into the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, where they were continuously refined anew by the Qi of Primordial Spirit.

However, as soon as Li Xuanyang's primordial spirit came into contact with the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, he felt a massive primordial aura and chaotic aura rushing towards him.

It also contained a rich array of chaotic five elements laws, which gradually connected with Li Xuanyang's mind, allowing him to feel the changes in the innate five flags and the innate five elements array diagram, as well as the profoundness of the chaotic five elements laws.

Normally, chaos gives rise to Taiji, Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give rise to the Five Elements.

The Five Elements can also be transformed into Yin and Yang, which in turn give rise to Chaos. However, the laws of the Chaos Five Elements are different and cannot be derived from the ordinary Five Elements Yin and Yang.

Instead, it is necessary to first transform the Five Elements into the Heavenly Stems Yin and Yang Five Elements, so that they inherently contain the Way of Yin and Yang. In addition, when the Five Elements are perfected, chaos is generated within the Five Elements, and finally, it transforms into the Great Dao of Chaos Yin and Yang Five Elements.

"When the Five Elements are perfected, Yin and Yang are formed, which gives rise to Chaos!" Li Xuanyang felt the changes in the Five Innate Flags and the Five Innate Elements Array Diagram and couldn't help but smile. It was worth all the effort he had put in.

"This is similar to my Chaos Dao Law." Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang simply integrated the Chaos Five Elements Dao Law entrusted to the Five Primordial Banners into his own body, allowing it to slowly intertwine and evolve with the Chaos Dao Law he wielded, waiting for the two to gradually change.

Ultimately, within the chaotic Dao Laws he wielded, the Chaotic Five Elements Dao Laws gradually evolved, causing his body to radiate brilliant light, manifesting as the Chaotic Five Elements Divine Light soaring into the sky, even breaking out of the Xuan Yang Mountain range and directly entering the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens.

More than a thousand years have passed. Li Xuanyang has not only thoroughly refined the Five Primordial Banners and the Five Primordial Elements Array Diagram, but also integrated the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Laws into his physical body and primordial spirit. Combined with the Chaos Great Dao Laws he wields, it presents a very mysterious change.

This allowed Li Xuanyang to gradually gain some understanding of his own path to the Primordial Chaos.

“Since it is possible to transform the innate Five Elements Great Dao Law into the Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao Law, then naturally it is also possible to transform the innate Yin-Yang Two Elements Great Dao Law into the Chaotic Yin-Yang Two Elements Great Dao Law in the same way, so that the Chaotic Great Dao Law contains the Chaotic Yin-Yang Five Elements, presenting a perfect state,” Li Xuanyang muttered to himself.

This method is similar in principle to the method of deriving three thousand innate laws from the laws of the Great Chaos.

The difference is that one transforms the laws of the Great Chaos into three thousand innate laws, which are then contained within the laws of the Great Chaos, transforming them into the Primordial Dao, forging the Primordial Dao Fruit, and thus breaking through to the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

One is the chaotic yin and yang and the five elements contained within the chaotic great law that it governs, which ultimately present a state of chaotic perfection.

Li Xuanyang had a vague feeling that as long as he gathered the chaotic yin and yang and the five elements within the chaotic laws he controlled, he could break through to the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

The primordial chaos, yin and yang, and the five elements are originally one, which is why they possess such profound mysteries.

"Now that the Primordial Five Elements Great Dao Law has been completed, as long as it is cultivated to perfection, we can try to transform the Primordial Yin-Yang Two Elements Great Dao Law into the Chaotic Yin-Yang Two Elements Great Dao Law."

“However…” Li Xuanyang frowned, he had no clue how to transform it into the Great Dao Law of Chaos Yin and Yang.

The reason why we were able to obtain the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law this time is due to the mystery of the Innate Five Directions Flag and the Holy Emperor's position, as well as the trace of the Chaos Great Dao Law origin contained in the Innate Five Directions Flag itself. Therefore, the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law was derived.

"Perhaps it will land on the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Diagram." Thinking of the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, which also contained a trace of the origin of the Chaotic Great Dao Law, Li Xuanyang's eyes lit up. It could be transformed into the Chaotic Yin-Yang Divine Diagram.

"After I've perfected my cultivation of the Five Elements of Chaos, it seems I'll need to make a trip to the depths of the Chaos Void." A thought struck Li Xuanyang as he suddenly recalled the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror he had encountered in the depths of the Chaos Void.

The true form of that Yin-Yang Daoist was formed from a wisp of Yin-Yang energy in chaos. The Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror itself is not only a chaotic spiritual treasure, but also contains the laws of the chaotic Yin-Yang Great Dao, which can replace the Holy Emperor's position as a catalyst.

The innate Yin-Yang duality divine diagram underwent a transformation, becoming the chaotic Yin-Yang duality divine diagram, which was then integrated into the chaotic Great Dao Laws under Li Xuanyang's control, truly achieving the completeness of chaotic Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.

"This matter is not urgent!"

"Besides, I still have an appointment to duel with Daoist Shangqing." Li Xuanyang glanced towards the direction of the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, then closed his eyes again to continue nurturing the Five Innate Banners and the Five Innate Elements Array Diagram, as well as cultivating the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law.

Another thousand years passed, and the time for the duel and discussion of swordsmanship drew ever closer.

Li Xuanyang's understanding of the laws of the Five Elements of Chaos became increasingly profound. He even gradually combined his own Tai Xuan Sword Scripture with the laws of the Five Elements of Chaos, creating the Five Elements of Chaos Sword Scripture, which he used to compare with the four sword dao true scriptures comprehended by Shangqing Daoren.

At this time, Xuan Yang Mountain gradually became lively. First, the Golden Crane, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect returned to the mountain to take care of a group of spiritual roots and immortal herbs. Then, the Three Absolutes Daoist and Kong Xuan returned to the mountain one after another.

This has made Xuanyang Mountain even more lively.

Over two thousand years, Kong Xuan assisted Yu the Great in gradually measuring every mountain and river in the prehistoric interior, dividing it into nine provinces, and even nurturing the Nine Cauldrons to perfection before bringing them back to Xuanyang Mountain.

"Disciple Kong Xuan requests an audience with Master!" Outside the palace, Kong Xuan was startled. He suddenly sensed an extremely sharp sword aura emanating from it, which seemed to contain a trace of the Chaos Great Dao Law and the Innate Five Elements Great Dao Law, making it extremely mysterious.

"Teacher, he is in seclusion to study the true essence of swordsmanship!" Thinking of this, a strange feeling flashed through Kong Xuan's mind.

The feeling he got from this sword energy was clearly not that of the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture, but rather that it resembled the aura of the Chaotic Five Elements Great Dao Law contained within the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Great Array.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Li Xuanyang's voice rang out from inside the palace, "Come in!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Kong Xuan composed himself, bowed towards the palace, and stepped inside.

Li Xuanyang was sitting on the cloud bed, meditating with his eyes closed. Chaotic Five Elements Divine Light and sword energy soared into the sky around him, presenting an extremely mysterious scene, as if the Chaotic Five Elements Divine Light had been transformed into five Chaotic Five Elements Swords.

Its sharpness seemed to surpass even that of a top-grade innate sword, yet it also exhibited a state of harmony of the five elements, resembling a chaotic five-element formation.

Kong Xuan was startled by what he saw and instinctively tried to immerse himself in it, to feel the mysteries it contained.

Hearing Kong Xuan's footsteps, Li Xuanyang gradually opened his eyes and looked at Kong Xuan below, asking, "Is there something you need to do upon returning to the mountain?"

"Greetings, Master!" Upon seeing Li Xuanyang open his eyes, Kong Xuan quickly stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "Disciple, I have returned this time for the matter of the Nine Cauldrons!" As he spoke, Kong Xuan flicked his sleeve and took out nine bronze cauldrons, saying to Li Xuanyang, "Now that the Nine Provinces have been divided, the Nine Cauldrons have been nurtured to perfection as instructed by Master."

"Not bad." Looking at the nine bronze cauldrons in front of him, Li Xuanyang nodded with a smile, clearly very satisfied.

"You step aside!"

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Kong Xuan dared not be negligent and immediately took a few steps back, looking at the Nine Cauldrons.

"Go!" Li Xuanyang suddenly unleashed a beam of chaotic divine light at the nine bronze cauldrons, covering them. The light then transformed into nine beams of divine light, which shot out of Xuanyang Mountain, arrived above the East Sea, merged into space, and headed towards the inland land of the prehistoric world.

Eventually, it fell into the depths of mountains and rivers, transforming into a huge bronze cauldron.

A moment later, beams of divine light shot out from the cauldron and fell into the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, forming the Nine Palaces. They gathered the power of human destiny and the laws of humanity, and with a roar, they transformed into a Nine Palaces Grand Array, covering the entire prehistoric inland land.

In an instant, the fortune and power of humanity flourished, filling every corner of the nine provinces of humanity, and gradually giving rise to various wondrous changes.

Immediately afterwards, the Nine Cauldrons flashed with light and gradually disappeared, seemingly merging into the human realm or the world of the Nine Provinces.

This caused countless powerful beings in the prehistoric world to show surprise, not knowing what had happened. They only felt that there seemed to be a slight change in the inner continent of the prehistoric world, but they could not put their finger on it.

"Teacher, what is this?" Kong Xuan was startled and couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyang on the cloud bed.

"It's nothing more than using the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the fortune of the human race across the nine provinces. There's no need to ask any further questions." Li Xuanyang subdued his magical power and said to Kong Xuan with a light laugh.

However, he only told half of it. In addition to suppressing the Nine Provinces, he also used the Nine Cauldrons to seal the fortune of all living beings in the primordial world that had been integrated into the human way, and even set up an array in the Nine Provinces using the Nine Cauldrons.

Although this formation is just an ordinary nine-palace formation, it contains the power of human destiny and the laws of humanity.

Over time, this formation can be transformed into a barrier over the Nine Provinces, suppressing invading beings and cultivators, including the Witch and Demon races, the remaining ancient creatures, as well as other cultivators, demonic cultivators, and so on.

"Suppress the destiny of the human race across the nine provinces!" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Kong Xuan was clearly taken aback, wondering why Li Xuanyang would do such a thing.

If the purpose was to suppress the human race's fortune, then why would they need to use nine bronze cauldrons to suppress the human race's fortune across the nine provinces if they didn't already possess the Kongtong Seal?

What about the human races beyond the primordial inland lands?

Li Xuanyang did not explain the doubts in Kong Xuan's heart, but suddenly asked Kong Xuan: "I did not ask you to talk about the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao, as well as the matter of deducing and comprehending the true scriptures of the Dao. Do you have any complaints?"

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's question, Kong Xuan was startled and immediately bowed respectfully to Li Xuanyang, saying, "This disciple dares not. Since Master forbade this disciple to mention it, there must be a reason. How could I dare to harbor any resentment!"

"No need to panic, I was just asking casually." Li Xuanyang said to Kong Xuan with a light laugh, "After being under my tutelage for countless years, you have achieved some success with your innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws and the innate Five Elements Five-Colored Divine Light."

"Even the Chaos Undying Body has incorporated the innate Five Elements Great Dao Laws and comprehended its own path. Many quasi-saints and great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world may not be able to defeat you."

At this point, Li Xuanyang's tone changed, and he suddenly asked Kong Xuan, "But do you know what the Primordial Chaos Dao is!"

"The Way of Primordial Chaos!" Kong Xuan was startled, a hint of hesitation arising in his mind. He couldn't help but think of the method of severing the three corpses and the Five Elements Dharma Body.

But since Li Xuanyang asked about the Primordial Chaos Dao, he was not referring to either of the two, but rather to the Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal Dao.

"I only know that by uniting the Three Corpses and the Five Elements Dharma Body, one can generate the Primordial Chaos Dao and break through to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm." Kong Xuan explained his understanding of the Primordial Chaos Dao one by one.

Hearing Kong Xuan's words, Li Xuanyang nodded slightly and said, "What you said is not wrong. This method can indeed help one break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm."

"However, after the Three Corpses merge into one and the Five Elements Dharma Body merge into one, before truly breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, a choice still needs to be made!"

"Make a choice?" Kong Xuan was startled, as if he had realized something, and quickly asked Li Xuanyang, "Is what Teacher said related to the laws of the Great Dao?"

“Not bad.” Li Xuanyang gave Kong Xuan a compliment before saying to him, “There are three thousand Great Daos. You must choose one. Whether it is the merging of the three corpses or the merging of your five elemental bodies, you must choose a Great Dao law to govern and make it your foundation for cultivating the Primordial Dao.”

"One can only choose one Great Dao Law to wield!" Kong Xuan said as if to himself. "In that case, the stronger the Great Dao Law one chooses to wield, the stronger one's cultivation and supernatural powers will be after breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm!"

"You could say that," Li Xuanyang paused for a moment, then looked at Kong Xuan calmly.

There are three thousand great paths, each with its own level and distinction.

"Then may I choose to wield the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law in the future?" Kong Xuan subconsciously voiced his intentions.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Just as he had expected, Kong Xuan was extremely fascinated by the profound mystery and power of the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law.

“Logically speaking, it is not possible, but…” At this point, Li Xuanyang’s gaze sharpened, and he said to Kong Xuan in a deep voice, “When choosing the Great Dao Law, in addition to the various Great Dao Laws related to one’s own cultivation, it is also related to the Dao-establishing artifact, and it needs to be in harmony with it.”

"Your innate five elements spirit pearl, although it contains the innate five elements great laws, is not the chaotic five elements great laws. How can you choose to wield the chaotic five elements great laws!"

"As for the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Laws, it's not too late to cultivate them after you break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm."

If it were just a single chaotic law of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, that would be fine. But the chaotic five elements law of yin and yang, which includes all five elements, can only be easily cultivated by Primordial Golden Immortals, Saints, and Saint Emperors.

“Even if you can gather the Heavenly Stems, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, and thus transform your own innate Five Elements Great Dao Law into the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law, I still do not recommend that you cultivate at this time.” As soon as Li Xuanyang finished speaking, Kong Xuan looked at Li Xuanyang with a puzzled expression once again.

“There are three thousand Great Daos, and the first to attain the Dao are the first to achieve it. I have already mastered the Chaos Great Dao Laws and used them to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao. Other cultivators naturally cannot choose to use the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Laws to prove their Dao.” Li Xuanyang said to Kong Xuan again.

This applies to both the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law and the Chaos Yin Yang Great Dao Law. Unless one can find a Chaos Treasure similar to the Chaos Pearl as a Dao-proving artifact, it must contain either the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law or the Chaos Yin Yang Great Dao Law.

Otherwise, the only option is to take control of the innate Five Elements Great Dao Law and the innate Yin-Yang Great Dao Law.

Of course, once one breaks through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, one can cultivate the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law and the Chaos Yin Yang Great Dao Law, but one will not be able to master them.

Furthermore, the Chaos Five Elements Great Dao Law and the Chaos Yin Yang Great Dao Law that Li Xuanyang cultivates are slightly different from each other.

Li Xuanyang wields the Chaos Great Dao Law, so naturally he takes the Chaos Great Dao Law as his main focus, encompassing it within the Chaos Great Dao Law, and generating Yin and Yang and the Five Elements from within the chaos.

The latter is based on the innate Five Elements Great Dao Law and the innate Yin-Yang Great Dao Law, and includes the Chaos Great Dao Law, from which chaos is derived.

When Kong Xuan suddenly heard Li Xuanyang explain the profound mysteries of the Hunyuan Dao, his expression changed drastically, clearly stunned by Li Xuanyang's words.

After countless years of cultivation, Kong Xuan had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, but only now did he learn the secret about breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
