Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 69 A Fortuitous Encounter: The Five Emperors and Demons Scripture

"Big sister, you refine the spiritual treasure!" Zhao Gongming said.

Yunxiao shook his head and refused: "I already have enough Hunyuan Golden Cauldron bestowed by my master. You should refine it, elder brother."

Zhao Gongming said urgently, "I have the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl protecting me, so I don't need any other spiritual treasures. You should refine it quickly to avoid attracting others."

Before the two could finish speaking, a golden light shot in from the north. When the light dissipated, a man with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows was revealed.

"I never expected to have such a fortuitous encounter, witnessing the birth of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. I want this treasure!" Two swords flew up from behind the man, pressing down on the seal.

Bixiao shouted, "Guangchengzi, didn't you see that we discovered the spiritual treasure first?"

The newcomer was none other than Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect. He chuckled and said, "What does it matter who discovers the treasure first? We'll each rely on our own methods to see who can win it!"

The relationship between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect was already bad, so Zhao Gongming and his group naturally wouldn't let Guang Chengzi get the treasure.

"Then I'll experience your Chan Sect's Great Law!" Zhao Gongming said, and five-colored rays of light rose from behind him, flying towards Guang Chengzi. Guang Chengzi remained calm and unhurried, striking the light with his sword. The light flashed more than ten times, each time striking Guang Chengzi's sword, and Guang Chengzi was knocked back more than ten miles.

"What a powerful magic weapon!" Guang Chengzi's expression turned serious. In his hand were the twin swords bestowed upon him by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. These two swords were innate spiritual treasures, possessing immense power. However, they were no match for Zhao Gongming's magic weapon!

Zhao Gongming was also not at ease: "I didn't expect that you, fellow Daoist, would actually break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, ranking alongside Senior Brother Duobao."

Guang Chengzi said, "Since that's the case, fellow Daoists should know when to back down."

"Don't even think about handing over this innate spiritual treasure!" Qiongxiao shouted. She summoned the Golden Dragon Scissors, which flew into the air and transformed into two golden dragons. The two dragons were connected head to tail and cut towards Guangchengzi from above and below.

Guang Chengzi's expression turned solemn. He summoned the Soul-Slaying Bell, and as it rang, sonic waves struck the two golden dragons, slowing them down. Qiong Xiao snorted coldly. The golden dragons struck the Soul-Slaying Bell, which trembled as if letting out a mournful cry before returning to Guang Chengzi's hand.

"Using such a weapon against a fellow disciple is utterly disrespectful!"

Guang Chengzi was also enraged. The two swords behind him transformed into two streaks of light, their sword beams flickering and terrifying.

"go!"

Two innate swords, each ten thousand feet in size, descended upon Zhao Gongming and his companions. Each sword was a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, but each contained the principles of Yin and Yang; when combined, their power was no less than that of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Guang Chengzi, a master of the sword path, further amplified the power of the swords in his hands.

Zhao Gongming's expression changed, and he released the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl struck the sword light, causing it to pause. In terms of level, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was comparable to the Twin Swords combined, but Zhao Gongming's magical power was far inferior to Guang Chengzi's, so the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl could not break the Twin Swords.

Qiongxiao then ordered the golden dragons to cut off the twin swords. The two golden dragons seized the twin swords, but the twin swords emitted powerful sword energy, blocking the golden dragons' scissors.

Seeing this, Yunxiao had no choice but to take action. She summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, which flashed with golden light and used it to hold back the flying sword that was ten thousand feet long.

Although Guang Chengzi's cultivation level was higher than that of Zhao Gongming and the other three, the four of them joined forces and possessed three supreme treasures, so Guang Chengzi could not defeat them for the time being.

The newly created seal, freed from Zhao Gongming and his companions' suppression, immediately broke through space and flew elsewhere. Zhao Gongming and Guang Chengzi only then realized what was happening and tried to stop it, but it was too late; the seal had already vanished.

Upon seeing this, Guang Chengzi immediately sheathed his twin swords and transformed into a golden light, departing. This was the Chan Sect's "Golden Light Across the Earth" technique, perfectly suited for traveling.

Bixiao was furious: "Elder brother, elder sister, this matter absolutely cannot be left like this. Guangchengzi not only disregarded the friendship between the three religions, causing us to lose a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but he is also arrogant and conceited. We absolutely cannot let him off the hook like this."

Yunxiao said, "Although Guangchengzi is arrogant, he is truly extraordinary. He actually broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. In our sect, only Senior Brother Duobao can surpass him."

Zhao Gongming was also very angry: "Let's go back into seclusion immediately. Next time we meet, we must teach Guang Chengzi a lesson."

After traversing mountains and valleys, Lei Ming found a large rock to sit down and rest.

"The South, the South, the wilderness is so vast, where can I find opportunities?"

Unaware of the gloomy Lei Ming's gaze, a beam of light descended from the sky. By the time he looked up in alarm, he was struck by it.

"Who is so uncivilized as to throw things in the sky?" Lei Ming, who was knocked unconscious, had only one thought in his last moments.

After an unknown amount of time, Lei Ming slowly woke up, his face filled with ecstatic joy.

"This is truly a case of sitting on a rock and treasure falling from the sky!" Lei Ming laughed loudly. "The opportunity the sage spoke of is indeed true!"

Lei Ming's primordial spirit appeared in the Five Elements Space. Within the Five Elements Space, an ancient mirror hung high in the sky. It was the Kunlun Mirror. Below the mirror was a jade seal. The jade seal was five-colored, square, and had no carved patterns. It looked very simple.

In fact, this jade seal is not simple; it is the Five Elements Imperial Seal, a primordial spiritual treasure!

Lei Ming's primordial spirit removed the jade seal and played with it in his hand. Like the Kunlun Mirror, the Five Elements Imperial Seal actively recognized Lei Ming as its master. However, its grade was not as high as the Kunlun Mirror, and Lei Ming cultivated the Five Elements Laws, so he could temporarily activate the jade seal within the Five Elements Space.

"This Five Elements Imperial Seal is actually the magic weapon of the Five Elements Ancestor, containing the Five Elements Ancestor's inheritance." Lei Ming was somewhat excited; he finally had a complete inheritance.

Lei Ming learned from the Five Elements Imperial Seal that the Five Elements Ancestor was also a supreme being after the creation of the world, who later perished in the Great Calamity. However, his cultivation technique, the "Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture," was passed down through the Five Elements Imperial Seal.

Lei Ming obtained half of the Five Elements Origin and was of the same lineage as the Five Elements Ancestor, which is why the Five Elements Imperial Seal recognized him as its master.

"The Five Emperors and Gods Scripture—this is a supreme cultivation technique that leads directly to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!" Lei Ming used his primordial spirit to peruse the Five Elements Ancestor's legacy, becoming incredibly excited. At the same time, he also learned a great deal of common knowledge about cultivation.

In the primordial world, cultivation realms begin with refining essence into qi, then refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into the Dao, followed by Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, and Saint. In the mortal world, refining qi and foundation building correspond to refining essence into qi, while forming the core and nascent soul correspond to refining qi into spirit. Lei Ming's current spirit transformation stage corresponds to refining spirit into emptiness, but he is only in the middle stage of refining spirit into emptiness.

Having obtained the cultivation technique, Lei Ming immediately sought a secluded place to cultivate. He carved out a cave dwelling in the mountains and then concealed it with the Five Elements Grand Array.

"This *Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture* is perfect for me!" Lei Ming studied the *Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture* for over a decade before beginning his cultivation. The *Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture* follows a path of dual cultivation of body and spirit. Internally, one cultivates the primordial spirits of the Five Emperors, comprehends the laws of the Five Elements, and ultimately merges these laws into one. Externally, one cultivates the physical body of the Five Emperors, tempering the body with the power of the Five Elements, ultimately achieving perfect perfection.

"I have five nascent souls, which can perfectly transform into the primordial spirits of the Five Emperors!"

The first step in cultivating the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirits requires dividing the primordial spirit into five parts, a process that is extremely dangerous and painful. Lei Ming refined five Nascent Souls, which made it much simpler to use them to create the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirits.

Following the methods of the "Five Emperors and Gods Scripture," Lei Ming infused the five elements of light into the five nascent souls. The nascent souls and the five elemental spirit beasts dissolved and transformed into primordial spirits. The five primordial spirits wore imperial robes and flat crowns, exuding extreme majesty! As soon as the five primordial spirits were formed, they ascended to Lei Ming's spiritual platform and sea of ​​consciousness, which immediately expanded considerably.

"Is this the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirit?" Lei Ming sensed it and found that the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirit was indeed extraordinary. Through the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirit, he found it much easier to comprehend the Five Elements Law.

Having completed the cultivation of the Five Emperors' Primordial Spirits, Lei Ming had only finished the first step of the "Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture." Next, Lei Ming would absorb the spiritual power of the Five Elements to temper his physical body. His physical body was already very powerful after being strengthened by that drop of strange essence blood, but using the methods of the "Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture" to temper it still expelled many impurities.

"As expected of the Five Elements Ancestor's legacy, my physical body has become 20% stronger after just one cultivation session!"

With a wave of his hand, Lei Ming sent a water dragon sweeping over his body, clearing away all the impurities.

"Continue your cultivation and strive to become an Earth Immortal as soon as possible!"

More than 500 years later, an overwhelming aura erupted from the mountains, and auspicious clouds appeared in the sky. Lei Ming emerged from seclusion, laughing heartily; he wore a long black robe and exuded confidence!

"I have finally become an immortal!" Lei Ming shouted.
