Chapter 185 Chaotic Spiritual Root and the Evolution of Chaotic True Fire (Please Subscribe)
"The Laws of Chaos!" A look of understanding appeared on Li Xuanyang's face. No wonder the Ancestral Dragon used the Laws of Chaos as the main principle to derive earth, wind, water, and fire, and then transformed them into the three thousand innate laws.

"Therefore, the three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin can call themselves the Three Clans of Creation, each occupying the lands of the Four Seas, the southern part of the Primordial World, and the inland part of the Primordial World." Yuan Feng not only told Li Xuanyang about her own origins, as well as those of the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Qilin, but also mentioned one of the fundamental elements of earth, wind, water, and fire that each of them controlled.

The First Dragon controls the primordial water among earth, wind, water, and fire; the Primordial Phoenix controls the primordial fire; and the First Qilin controls the primordial earth.

However, they each control not only one of the fundamental elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, but also the Chaotic True Water, Chaotic True Fire, and Chaotic True Earth, which are combined with the laws of the Chaotic Great Dao.

"Fellow Daoist, you, along with the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Qilin, have occupied the origins of Earth, Water, and Fire. So why haven't any Chaos Divine Beasts been born from the remaining origin of Wind?" Li Xuanyang asked Yuan Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Fellow Daoist, you must have asked the wrong person. I am not clear about this matter either." Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Yuan Feng shook her head and pointed to the Undying Volcano outside, saying, "I was born from the depths of the Undying Volcano, the Ancestral Dragon was born from the Ancestral Dragon Land deep in the East Sea, and the Primordial Qilin was born from the inland land of the Primordial World. We are all different from each other, and we only became acquainted with each other during the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts after we attained Dao."

Li Xuanyang nodded, not wanting to dwell on the matter any further, and instead brought up Jidu, "I wonder what Jidu's background and origins are that made you say such a thing just now?"

"Since you just mentioned the Chaos Demon God, do you know about the Destruction Demon God?" Yuan Feng didn't directly talk about Jidu's background, but instead asked Li Xuanyang about the Destruction Demon God.

"Why do you ask about this, fellow Daoist!" As soon as Li Xuanyang finished speaking, he thought of the Heavenly Blade of Destruction that Jidu had unleashed, as well as the World-Destroying Millstone of the Beast Emperor Shenni, and an incredulous look appeared on his face. "Is Jidu the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor Rahu?"

"Ketu is not the reincarnation of the demon ancestor Rahu, but the two were originally one."

Yuan Feng then made a startling statement: "Although I do not know the reason behind this, I do recognize that Ji Du is the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and Rahu is also Ji Du."

"He is the reincarnation of the true spirit of the Destruction Demon God among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. He was born to wield the laws of the Great Dao of Destruction, and even created the Demonic Path from it, establishing the Demonic Path, which is almost as long as the Dao."

"Even with your current cultivation and supernatural powers, you could shatter its soul and destroy its true spirit, but it would be difficult to completely kill it. That's why I stopped you."

"May the Dao endure forever!" Li Xuanyang couldn't help but think of a saying from later generations: "When the demons rise, the Dao falls; when the Dao rises, the demons fall." Just like all living things in the universe, there is yin and yang, and they restrain each other, one rising and the other falling.

"No wonder Jidu possesses such profound knowledge and supernatural powers." However, upon saying this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but become curious, "Since Jidu is the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the reincarnation of the true spirit of the Destruction Demon God, why did his companion treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, fall into the hands of the Beast Emperor Shenni?"

There must be a reason for this, perhaps related to the great battle between Demon Ancestor Rahu and Hongjun Daozu, Yangmei Daxian, Yin Yang Daoren, and Qiankun Daoren.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng was greatly surprised. "The Chaos Treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, has actually fallen into the hands of Shen Ni?"

“Not bad!” Li Xuanyang nodded and said.

"How could this be!" Yuan Feng fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she turned to Li Xuanyang and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know why Jidu plotted against me this time?"

Upon hearing Yuan Feng's words, Li Xuanyang said thoughtfully, "Could it be related to the Beast Emperor Shen Ni?"

"It is related to Shen Ni." Yuan Feng said with a solemn expression, "Ji Du intends to use my divine powers to ignite the boundless sea of ​​fire contained in the Undying Volcano, wreaking havoc on the primordial world, in order to help Shen Ni attain enlightenment!"

"But if what you say is true, Fellow Daoist, that the Great Millstone of Annihilation has fallen into Shen Ni's hands, why would Ji Du help Shen Ni prove his Dao?"

"Trigger the Undying Volcano!" Li Xuanyang was shocked. Ji Du was incredibly audacious. If he succeeded, it would surely unleash a catastrophe, turning the entire southern part of the prehistoric world into a forbidden zone for all living beings, and even affecting the entire prehistoric land.

No wonder Yuan Feng, trapped for tens of thousands of years, never agreed. This matter not only concerns all living beings in the primordial world, but also involves boundless karma and cause and effect.

Moreover, once such a calamity is brought about, neither the saints and emperors nor the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who has merged with the Dao, will stand idly by.

However, the Undying Volcano is the place where Yuan Feng took form, so only she can easily suppress this place.

Even if it commits such a calamity, it is unlikely that it will truly die and perish; it will simply continue to be eternally imprisoned in the immortal volcano.

"Jidu certainly devised a clever plan!" Li Xuanyang exclaimed.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Yuan Feng nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist is right, Jidu is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Although I do not know what happened to Demon Ancestor Rahu that caused the Great Millstone of Annihilation to fall into Shenni's hands, your plan has been thwarted by you. This will surely lead to other calamities. You must be careful in the future."

After the great calamity of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, Yuanfeng was imprisoned deep within the Undying Volcano and could not leave even for a moment. In addition, almost all the great supernatural beings in the Phoenix clan perished, leaving them with only a superficial understanding of many things in the prehistoric world.

"To my shame, even if Jidu and Shenni hadn't brought about the calamity, the primordial world still wouldn't have been able to settle down peacefully," Li Xuanyang said hesitantly.

This is no exaggeration. With the Earth Emperor returning to his throne, the Human Emperor will soon emerge. Whether it is the reincarnation of the true spirits of a group of quasi-saints and great supernatural beings and the second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen, or the true spirits of many innate gods and demons, or even the upcoming struggle for the orthodoxy of the human race, all of these will inevitably lead to a series of bloody battles.

Although it won't cause the same consequences as triggering an immortal volcano, it will still unleash countless killings, causing turmoil and chaos across the primordial land.

Seeing the hesitation in Li Xuanyang's tone, Yuan Feng knew that this matter was definitely not simple, and couldn't help but ask Li Xuanyang, "Is this matter related to you, fellow Daoist?"

"Exactly!" Li Xuanyang nodded with a wry smile and began to talk to Yuan Feng. Since the matter of the Human Emperor was already settled, there was no need to hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng frowned slightly. "The Human Emperor's attainment of the Dao and return to his rightful place is a matter of destiny. Even without your intervention, it would have brought about a calamity."

At this point, Yuan Feng suddenly changed the subject and spoke of Ji Du again, "I saw earlier that you, fellow Daoist, have already broken through to the peak of Quasi-Saint realm with your cultivation and supernatural powers, but it seems that you are being restrained by Ji Du's Destruction Heavenly Blade and Chaos True Fire!"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the method I cultivate is similar to that of the Ancestral Dragon, both based on the laws of the Chaos Great Dao. Now, I have even created a world as its vessel, but it is unfortunately countered by the Heavenly Blade of Destruction and the True Fire of Chaos." After saying this, Li Xuanyang directly revealed the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit. Above a cloud of auspiciousness the size of an acre, the divine light of chaos soared into the sky and fell upon his body.

It manifested its undying chaotic body and thirty-six worlds, turning the palace into a hazy gray, with streaks of golden light shooting out from time to time, and black and white flames falling down, accompanied by heavenly music.

Upon seeing Li Xuanyang display the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, Yuan Feng's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in admiration. Immediately, golden flames shot into the sky around her, and a cloud of auspiciousness, about the size of an acre, appeared. Golden light soared into the sky above it, and a phoenix cried out. Countless true fires fell down, burning fiercely and generating waves of heat.

The two manifested their primordial spirits, displaying various Taoist techniques and supernatural powers, and began to discuss the Tao with each other. The interior of the Undying Volcano was shattered by their auras, revealing countless strange phenomena. Amidst auspicious clouds and light, faint ethereal music could be heard.

More than a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye before they finally finished comprehending each other's Daoist scriptures and put away their respective auspicious clouds.

"I never expected that your method of proving the Dao through force, the Chaos Undying Body, would be so amazing. Not only does it require refining the Chaos Qi, but it also requires tempering the physical body with innate true fire. No wonder Kong Xuan asked me for the Southern Bright Fire when he returned," Yuan Feng said with admiration.

Yuan Feng was born with a portion of the Chaos Great Dao Laws, while Li Xuanyang's Daoist techniques and supernatural powers are now almost entirely based on the Chaos Great Dao Laws. Through mutual verification, they have both benefited greatly.

"Fellow Daoist, you have combined one of the fundamental elements of earth, wind, water, and fire with the laws of the Chaos Great Dao to create the Chaos True Fire, which is truly astonishing." Li Xuanyang also praised it highly. The Ancestral Dragon used the laws of the Chaos Great Dao to derive three thousand innate laws, and finally combined them into one.

The Phoenix's path directly combines the two, transforming into the Great Dao of Chaotic True Fire, giving birth to a golden Chaotic True Fire that is far more refined than Jidu's Chaotic True Fire.

"Fellow Daoist, why not merge your own innate Xuan Yang True Fire with the laws of the Chaos Great Dao, transforming it into a Chaos True Fire, and use it to temper your physical body instead of the innate True Fire?"

“This move will not only enhance the power of your Chaos Undying Body, but also make you unafraid of being burned by the Chaos True Fire,” Yuan Feng said, revealing his thoughts.

Hearing Yuan Feng's words, Li Xuanyang did not show any surprise. He had already sensed Yuan Feng's intention when the two were discussing the Dao.

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I once used the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire to create Chaos Fire, but I never used it to temper my physical body or cultivate the Chaos Undying Body."

Compared to the Primordial Profound Yang True Fire, Li Xuanyang prefers the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire. The reason is very simple: this true fire contains the Dao of Primordial Yin-Yang, and using it to evolve the Chaos True Fire can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In comparison, the Primordial Profound Yang True Fire, although extremely Yang and pure, lacks some of the mysterious variations of the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

"Fellow Daoist possesses two kinds of innate true fire, which can be described as a great opportunity. Even in the Phoenix Clan back then, no one had such an opportunity."

"However, although this Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire is extremely profound and its power is even greater than my Southern Bright Fire, it is after all just an external object and not your natal true fire. In this respect, it is far inferior to the Primordial Profound Yang True Fire."

Upon hearing Yuan Feng's words, Li Xuanyang subconsciously nodded, vaguely understanding Yuan Feng's meaning. It was simply that the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire was the true fire contained within the Innate Yin-Yang Lamp, and could not be transformed into his own natal true fire.

Therefore, for Yuan Feng and the Phoenix Clan, it is far inferior to their own innate true fire.

Although the former's power is more profound, it cannot increase in power like one's own natal fire, which can improve with the advancement of one's cultivation.

However, for cultivators like Li Xuanyang, their cultivation and supernatural abilities were not all contained in their natal true fire. Therefore, they didn't care too much about this matter. They could even entrust their cultivation to the Innate Yin-Yang Lamp and forge it into a Dao-attaining artifact, achieving the same effect. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist." Li Xuanyang nodded, acknowledging Yuan Feng's statement.

However, transforming the Innate Profound Yang True Fire into the Chaos True Fire is no easy task; otherwise, Li Xuanyang would have already evolved it long ago, instead of waiting until now.

Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the numerous chaotic true fires within the immortal volcano.

Li Xuanyang even vaguely felt that Jidu's Chaos True Fire and Chaos Demon Fire came from the Undying Volcano.

"Fellow Daoist is too kind. Compared to your taking my son Kong Xuan under your wing and protecting him, and your rescue this time, this matter is nothing at all." Yuan Feng shook her head. She was already extremely grateful to Li Xuanyang for protecting Kong Xuan and teaching him the Chaos Undying Body.

"Please follow me, fellow Daoist!" As she spoke, Yuan Feng rose and invited Li Xuanyang to walk out of the palace.

Along the way, the two rode on clouds, heading once again into the depths of the Undying Volcano.

"Does fellow Daoist know the origin of the Undying Volcano?" Standing atop the golden clouds, Yuan Feng suddenly asked Li Xuanyang.

"I have never heard of this matter!" Li Xuanyang shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of it.

"This immortal volcano was formed when the earth, wind, water, and fire were the origins of the world at the beginning of creation. They fell onto the earth and gradually gathered together, which is why its bottom can connect to the chaotic void."

"This is also where I took human form!" As Yuan Feng spoke, large and small spatial fragments and chaotic auras gradually appeared around the two of them. The deeper they went, the more they encountered, and it even evolved into a spatial storm, which was very similar to the area outside the Ancestral Dragon Land.

The only difference was that the surrounding area was filled with chaotic true fire, which had gradually turned into a golden yellow color.

Even before he arrived, Li Xuanyang could feel a dense aura of chaos emanating from afar, unlike that of the Ancestral Dragon Land.

This place is not a self-contained space, but a huge, flame-like spiritual root that goes straight into the chaotic void. Its enormous canopy, with its lush branches and leaves, covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. Half of it falls into the Undying Volcano, and the other half falls into the chaotic void.

It actually pierced through the barrier between the primordial world and chaos, forcefully enveloping an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles around, transforming it into a chaotic spiritual land.

Inside, there is also a sizable spiritual spring, which is also filled with rich innate spiritual energy, and even has a trace of chaotic energy.

"Chaotic Spiritual Root!" Upon seeing the innate spiritual root before him, Li Xuanyang was slightly surprised. He saw that the branches and leaves on the tree crown were absorbing the chaotic energy from the chaotic void, transforming it into an extremely rare spiritual energy. It not only contained a trace of the origin of chaotic energy, but also had a rich innate spiritual energy of fire attribute.

It can be considered a kind of chaotic spiritual energy.

The scene was extremely similar to when Li Xuanyang met Huang Zhongli in the past. He even vaguely sensed that Huang Zhongli in the Xuanhuang Realm seemed to have a strange movement.

However, the difference is that the chaotic spiritual energy emanating from the Yellow Plum contains many attributes, resembling a chaotic void, while the chaotic spiritual energy emanating from this Chaotic Spiritual Root is of the fire attribute.

"Fellow Daoist, you actually know about the Chaos Spiritual Root!" Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Yuan Feng's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she pointed to the innate spiritual root in the distance and began to introduce it.

"This innate spiritual root is called Wutong. Although it is not included in the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World, it can be considered as half a Chaos Spiritual Root. It also originated from the beginning of chaos, when the primordial world was first divided and heaven and earth were not yet created."

"When the Great God Pangu created the world, he let this phoenix tree spiritual root fall into this place and grow alongside me. It can be considered my symbiotic spiritual root."

"In addition, there is a primordial spring, which has also been tainted with a trace of chaotic energy."

"The phoenix will not perch on anything but the parasol tree, nor will it drink anything but the sweet spring!" This phrase involuntarily came to Li Xuanyang's mind.

"Fellow Daoist, this is truly a wonderful opportunity!" Li Xuanyang exclaimed. The Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix are indeed extraordinary. In the land of the Ancestral Dragon, there is an Ancestral Dragon Palace, which is made of Chaos Divine Stone. In the place where the Primordial Phoenix took shape, there is a Wutong Spirit Root and a Primordial Sweet Spring.

To be honest, this phoenix tree spiritual root is not stronger than the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world. It was only by chance that half of it fell into the primordial world, while the other half of the tree trunk was in the chaotic void, which is why it was able to become a half-chaotic spiritual root.

Otherwise, in a real comparison, let alone being comparable to Huang Zhongli, it is probably not even as good as Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree.

Therefore, this innate phoenix tree spiritual root can only be described as a stroke of luck and good fortune.

“Fellow Daoist, you can stay here for a period of time to cultivate in seclusion and transform your Innate Profound Yang True Fire into Chaos True Fire!” Yuan Feng pointed to the golden Chaos True Fire around him and said, “The Chaos True Fire around here is extremely pure and can be fused with your Innate Profound Yang True Fire.”

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Li Xuanyang bowed to Yuan Feng in thanks before descending upon the Wutong Spirit Root with a flash of golden light beneath his feet.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities!" Yuan Feng smiled and nodded at Li Xuanyang's retreating figure before turning and riding away on a cloud.

As soon as the auspicious clouds descended, Li Xuanyang immediately felt an extremely dense chaotic spiritual energy surging towards him, a dense mass resembling clouds and mist.

Even with Li Xuanyang's cultivation and supernatural abilities, he could faintly feel a bit of heat and couldn't help but praise again, "As expected of the spiritual energy emanating from half a Chaos Spiritual Root, it is indeed extraordinary."

This kind of chaotic spiritual energy is extremely precious, especially for living beings who cultivate fire-attribute Daoist techniques and supernatural powers; it is no less than a rare innate spiritual object.

However, the chaotic spiritual energy contained here is too rich, and it also contains a trace of the origin of earth, wind, water and fire. Not to mention cultivators with the cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, even ordinary cultivators with the cultivation level of Daluo Golden Immortal cannot stay here for long-term seclusion and cultivation.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang stepped to the base of the Wutong Spirit Root, looked it over briefly, and then sat down cross-legged. He began to organize his insights from his discussion with Yuan Feng, using them to deduce the method to transform the Innate Profound Yang True Fire into Chaos True Fire.

"Based on the innate Xuan Yang True Fire, and then using the method of generating Xuan Yin from Xuan Yang to achieve the harmony of Yin and Yang, the Chaos Great Dao Law is derived from Xuan Yang and Xuan Yin, and finally merged with the Chaos True Fire contained in this place, combining them into one, transforming it into a kind of natal true fire similar to Yuan Feng, becoming a Chaos True Fire of extreme purity and Yang."

This Chaos True Fire is different from Ketu's Chaos True Fire, and even different from Yuanfeng's Golden Chaos True Fire. It not only contains the laws of the Chaos Great Dao and is extremely powerful, but it is also extremely yang and pure, and contains the method of Xuan Yang generating Xuan Yin.

"This Chaos True Fire can be called the Chaos Profound Yang True Fire!" Li Xuanyang deduced the entire evolution process and couldn't help but show joy. Then, a divine light flashed around his body, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above a cloud of auspiciousness about an acre in size, a golden innate true fire soared into the sky. It was Li Xuanyang's companion true fire, the Innate Profound Yang True Fire.

"Rise!" Li Xuanyang pointed at the Innate Profound Yang True Fire, causing it to spread out above the auspicious clouds, transforming into a golden curtain of fire.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang suddenly activated the Innate Profound Yang True Scripture within his body, channeling a stream of magical power into the Innate Profound Yang True Fire, and softly uttered, "Profound Yang generates Profound Yin!"

The next moment, a change gradually emerged from the golden innate Xuan Yang True Fire filling the sky, from which a trace of Xuan Yin Law was faintly generated.

It is precisely because there is yin within yang that mysterious yang gives rise to mysterious yin, and mysterious yang and mysterious yin complement each other, thus achieving the state of embracing yin while carrying yang.

If other quasi-saints or great supernatural beings were to witness this scene, they would be greatly astonished.

It is quite common for cultivators to derive laws such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements based on their own Daoist techniques and supernatural powers, since these are merely Daoist techniques and supernatural powers.

However, the Primordial Profound Yang True Fire is born from the beginning and is filled with the Profound Yang Law in its origin, making it almost impossible for it to undergo any changes.

However, Li Xuanyang managed to derive a trace of the Profound Yin Law from the Innate Profound Yang True Fire using his own cultivation and supernatural powers, demonstrating his boundless cultivation and supernatural powers.

However, Li Xuanyang did not transform all of it into the Xuan Yin Law. He only achieved the transformation of Xuan Yang into Xuan Yin. Immediately afterwards, the Daoist scripture circulating in his body changed and became the Chaos Undying Body Technique, using Xuan Yang and Xuan Yin to evolve a trace of the Chaos Great Dao Law.

Within the Primordial Profound Yang True Fire, an ancient and unchanging aura suddenly emanated, with a subtle change within it, as if a layer of mist was slowly rising from the golden flames.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang suddenly unleashed another burst of magical power into the Innate Profound Yang True Fire, completely activating it and transforming it into a golden flame, carrying a layer of misty fog, which spread outwards towards the Chaos True Fire.

In an instant, countless golden innate Xuan Yang True Fires and Chaos True Fires collided and devoured each other, sometimes annihilating each other and sometimes devouring each other, emitting rumbling sounds, tearing space apart, and causing the earth, wind, water, and fire to churn, creating an extremely terrifying scene.

Fortunately, this place is located at the deepest part of the Undying Volcano, and outside is the chaotic void. No matter how much noise is made, outsiders will not notice it at all.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang formed countless hand seals, casting the talismans transformed from the Chaos Undying Body and the Innate Profound Yang True Scripture into the Innate Profound Yang True Fire, causing them to evolve towards the Chaos True Fire.

Time passed in this way, and the golden flames that were originally like a layer of mist gradually turned into a golden yellow, which seemed to be very similar to Yuan Feng's Chaos True Fire.

However, the two only look similar; in reality, they are completely different. One is based on the innate Xuan Yang True Fire, while the other is one of the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire.
