Chapter 189 The Primordial Chaos Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and Myriad Strange Phenomena (Please Subscribe)
Apart from Fuxi, the others all looked at Li Xuanyang with strange expressions.

"What kind of method is this, fellow Daoist?" Shangqing Daoist couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyang. "Is it similar to the method of severing the three corpses taught by our teacher?"

Although the Taoist Shangqing did not know the specific mysteries of the Five Elements Dharma Body method, he could see the similarities with the method of severing the three corpses.

"Hehe, this method is called the Five Elements Dharma Body." Li Xuanyang chuckled and, without hiding anything, briefly introduced it to the group.

"It is precisely this method that I developed by combining the method of severing the three corpses with the Dao of the innate five elements."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Shangqing couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, how did this method transform into an independent entity?"

Entrusting the innate five elements laws to the innate five-directional flags is not complicated; it is nothing more than a method similar to severing the three corpses and forging a magic weapon for attaining enlightenment.

However, the idea that the Five Elements Dharma Bodies could be transformed into individual entities puzzled the Shangqing Daoist.

"It's nothing more than a spiritual intelligence formed from the primordial spirit's energy." As soon as Li Xuanyang finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood. "So it's actually the primordial spirit's energy!"

The primordial spirit is the innate consciousness that one is born with, and also a spark of innate spiritual light.

Therefore, Li Xuanyang combined it with the innate Five Elements Laws, and under the influence of the power of the laws, it was transformed into an independent entity, just as if it were giving birth to innate gods and demons.

In contrast, the three corpses of good and evil are the innate obsessions of living beings who cultivate themselves.

Therefore, the two are only superficially similar, but in fact they are not the same.

“Fellow Daoist, you have entrusted your own innate Five Elements Laws to the Five Innate Banners. Wouldn’t that damage your own cultivation and supernatural powers?” Zhen Yuanzi realized this as soon as he finished speaking.

Li Xuanyang possesses a wealth of supernatural powers, including the innate Five Elements Laws, the extremely domineering Chaos Undying Body, the unparalleled Tai Xuan Sword Scripture, and the innate Xuan Yang Dao.

Even if he were to unleash the innate Five Elements Laws and entrust them to the Innate Five Directions Flag, it would have no effect on his own cultivation and supernatural abilities.

"While it has an impact, it also possesses profound mysteries." Li Xuanyang chuckled at Zhen Yuanzi, then turned to look at the Five Elements Dharma Body, "I invite fellow Daoists to take a look at my Primordial Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array!"

The next moment, Li Xuanyang summoned the Innate Five Elements Array Diagram and combined it with the five Daoists transformed from the Five Elements Dharma Body, thus setting up the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array.

The group saw five Taoist priests, each holding a Primordial Five Directions Flag, sitting in their respective positions according to the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions. Primordial divine light emanated from their bodies, merging together and transforming the entire formation into chaos.

This is also different from the method of severing the three corpses. The Five Elements Dharma Body is inhabited by Li Xuanyang's innate five elements laws. Not only are the various supernatural abilities extraordinary, but they can also communicate with each other and complement each other. The innate five flags, which are the objects inhabited, are also a set of five innate spiritual treasures, which can be said to complement each other.

As long as Li Xuanyang had a thought, he could freely cycle and transform, with the five elements and five directions constantly changing, turning the area within the formation into chaos.

Even if one is thoroughly familiar with formations, once inside a formation, the interaction of the five elements and five directions makes it impossible to distinguish east, west, south, north, and center, or to know the difference between metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Seeing the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array before him, and the Five Elements Dharma Body Technique from before, Daoist Shangqing seemed to fall into deep thought, vaguely guessing the method Li Xuanyang had mentioned.

Fuxi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and Xuanyin Daoist all looked at the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array and began to meditate on it.

"Fellow Daoist is truly a great talent, actually using the Five Elements Dharma Body to guard the formation, achieving the innate Five Elements and Five Directions. What is most rare is that the innate Five Elements and Five Directions combine together to evolve the Chaos Method, which perfectly matches the mystery of the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation."

After a while, Daoist Shangqing, his face full of surprise, said to Li Xuanyang with a sigh, "Speaking of which, this formation is quite similar to my Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

“That’s right.” Li Xuanyang nodded in agreement. The Five Primordial Banners and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords were all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, all had array diagrams, all were based on innate spiritual treasures, and all were methods of evolving chaos. They were almost identical.

The only difference is that one focuses on the changes of the five elements and five directions, while the other focuses on swordsmanship and killing.

“Fellow Daoist, you may use my Five Elements Dharma Body method to entrust the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. This will enhance the power and mystery of the formation.” Li Xuanyang explained his method.

Of course, Shangqing Daoist is different from him. The Four Swords of Zhuxian are not like the Five Banners of the Primordial Elements, which contain the laws of the Five Elements.

Therefore, Li Xuanyang only proposed one method. As for how Shangqing Daoist would combine his own laws with the Four Swords of Zhuxian as a means to unleash the sword, that was beyond Li Xuanyang's consideration.

Li Xuanyang did not hold back on explaining the mysteries of the Five Elements Dharma Body to the Shangqing Daoist.

Using the laws of the Great Dao of Space as a guide, the text also explains the innate Five Elements laws above and the chaotic Great Dao laws below.

However, the Taoist Shangqing's cultivation and supernatural powers, as well as the attributes of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, are different from those of Li Xuanyang and the Five Elements Flag. Therefore, he cannot completely follow the Five Elements Dharma Body method to cut out the Five Elements Laws of the Primordial Heaven. Moreover, he cannot gather the essence blood of the five Ancestral Witches at present.

Therefore, Shangqing Daoists only need to know a little about the principles of the Five Elements Dharma Body.

Even so, several years passed after this explanation.

"My Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and Fellow Daoist Xuan Yang's Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation are ultimately different." Daoist Shangqing suddenly sighed. Although Li Xuan Yang's Five Elements Dharma Body Technique could be used in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it encountered a problem.

The Taoist Shangqing possessed numerous Taoist skills and supernatural abilities, and had comprehended many laws, but when it came to compatibility with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he found it difficult.

Li Xuanyang and the others were all exceptionally knowledgeable and naturally understood Shangqing Daoist's meaning, so they couldn't help but ponder it.

"Not only must it be entrusted to the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but it must also achieve an effect similar to Fellow Daoist Xuanyang's Five Elements Dharma Body Method and the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, so that they can be combined together to form a self-circulating cycle. I'm afraid only the methods of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire and the Four Symbols can achieve this." Fuxi slowly began to speak.

Among them, the power of the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire methods is the strongest, while the power of the Four Symbols methods is much weaker, but all of them can form their own cycles, complement each other, and even transform into chaos.

However, both of them have different attributes from the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Sword Formation, so it is by no means an easy task to attach them to the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

"I do have an idea," said the Taoist priest, "that my four disciples could each wield one of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords to enhance the power and mystery of the formation." The Taoist priest also offered a suggestion that wasn't really a solution.

“This method is inappropriate.” After pondering for only a moment, Daoist Shangqing shook his head and said.

This method seems very easy. The Jie Sect has many disciples, enough to select four to assist the Shangqing Daoist in setting up the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

But putting aside whether the disciples of the Jie Sect can achieve perfect harmony of mind and whether their individual cultivation and supernatural powers can complement each other, the fact that they need at least the cultivation and supernatural powers of a quasi-saint is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

“There are indeed some issues.” Li Xuanyang shook his head, thinking of his Tai Xuan Sword Scripture and sword techniques, and suggested to Shangqing Daoist, “Fellow Daoist, you are proficient in sword techniques. Why not study the Four Swords of Zhuxian and deduce four true sword scriptures? When you have cultivated them to perfection, they can be transformed into sword laws and entrusted to the Four Swords of Zhuxian.”

This method can already be called the sword dao dharmakaya, which not only complements each other, but also matches the attributes of the four swords of Zhuxian, thus achieving an effect similar to the innate five elements and five directions grand formation.

However, to deduce the four true sword manuals and cultivate them to perfection is not something that can be done overnight, nor is it an easy task.

Of course, there are also benefits. Not to mention that it can enhance the power and mystery of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the mere fact that the four sword dao true scriptures were derived will greatly benefit the inheritance of the Jie Sect lineage.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you and I have the same idea." Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Daoist Shangqing suddenly burst into laughter. "However, fellow Daoist Xuanyang's method is not without reason."

"After I have deduced the general outline of the four sword dao scriptures, it will be appropriate to pass them on to my disciples for cultivation, and temporarily replace my sword dao avatar to wield the four swords of Zhuxian."

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Shangqing suddenly unleashed a burst of magical power into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, which then entered the formation.

The next moment, the sword formation suddenly changed, and four Taoists appeared within the formation, each wielding one of the four Zhuxian swords. Together, they generated a hazy sword light, making the Zhuxian sword formation a unified whole from the inside out.

It should be noted that this was merely a scene conjured up by Shangqing Daoren based on the method of sword dao fa tai, not a real display of the scene, yet such a sight still appeared.

This demonstrates the enhancement this method brings to the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Looking at the drastically changed Zhuxian Sword Formation, Fuxi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly said to Shangqing Daoist, "Fellow Daoist, in the future, may you find a supreme treasure that is a unified whole of chaos, or a supreme treasure that contains the laws of the Great Chaos, to use as the object to suppress the great formation."

"In this way, this formation can be called the Primordial Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

As he spoke, Fuxi subconsciously looked at the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array that Li Xuanyang had set up, recalling the Primordial Spirit Pearl that had been unified with the Primordial Chaos.

"The Primordial Chaos Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!" Upon hearing Fuxi's words, the Shangqing Daoist's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply to Li Xuanyang and Fuxi in gratitude, "Thank you both very much!"

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need for that.” Li Xuanyang didn’t notice Fuxi’s strangeness. Instead, he was thinking about what Fuxi had just said. The Primordial Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation reminded him of his own Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation, which was suppressed by the Chaos Pearl, making it a supreme treasure of the Primordial Unity.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, we can follow the example of Yuanfeng, Zulong and Shiqilin, transform the innate five elements into the chaotic five elements, and then use the Chaos Pearl to suppress the great formation. Wouldn't that also become the Hunyuan Five Elements Five Directions Great Formation?"

"What about the Chaos Bell?" At this moment, the Shangqing Daoist suddenly thought of the Chaos Bell and couldn't help but ask Fuxi.

"The Chaos Bell!" The group thought of it simultaneously, recalling the battle between Shangqing Daoist and the World-Destroying Millstone. "The Chaos Bell is one of the Three Treasures of Creation. It was originally formed from the broken Pangu Axe of the Great God Pangu. It can evolve the power of 'Heavenly Dao Mysteries' and refine the power of 'Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.' It can be used to suppress the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation." Fuxi's previous life was Xi Huang in the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race. He had also worked with Di Jun to deduce the Zhou Tian Star Array. Therefore, he was naturally very clear about the various mysteries of the Chaos Bell.

"Fellow Daoist is quite right." Li Xuanyang nodded in agreement. The Chaos Bell is infinitely mysterious and its power is boundless.

It can not only imprison time and suppress space, but it is also immune to attacks from any magical treasures and ignores the damage from all supernatural powers and spells. It possesses both offensive and defensive capabilities and can even be used to suppress formations.

Most importantly, the Chaos Bell itself is a unified whole.

"Shennie!" Upon hearing Fuxi and Li Xuanyang's words, Shangqing Daoist suddenly felt a surge of killing intent, becoming even more determined to obtain the Chaos Bell from Shenni and the others.

Although the Chaos Bell did not fall into Shen Ni's hands, which was slightly different from what Li Xuanyang said, Shangqing Daoist did not think much of it.

After all, during the previous battle with Shen Ni, one of the unfamiliar Taoists used the Chaos Bell to come and help, which shows that he must have been closely related to Shen Ni.

"Where did you encounter Shenni, my friend?" Li Xuanyang asked Shangqing Daoist.

"Previously, I traveled to various places in the prehistoric world, but I could not find any trace of Shen Ni. So I went to the Netherworld and the Nine Netherworlds. Unexpectedly, I encountered Shen Ni in the Nine Netherworlds." Shangqing Daoist did not hide anything and told Li Xuanyang how he met Shen Ni.

"So it was in the Nine Netherworld. I should have realized it sooner." A look of annoyance and regret appeared on Li Xuanyang's face. He had only suspected Shen Ni and the others before, and had been hiding in the chaos. He never thought that it was in the Nine Netherworld.

God's rebellion!
Upon hearing the conversation between Shangqing Daoist and Li Xuanyang, and recalling the Shenni that Shangqing Daoist had mentioned earlier, the group couldn't help but show expressions of doubt.

"The Shen Ni you two fellow Daoists are referring to, is it the unfamiliar Daoist who fought with Fellow Daoist Shangqing earlier?" Hongyun asked Daoist Shangqing and Li Xuanyang.

"It is indeed this person!" Daoist Shangqing nodded, revealing a solemn expression, and said, "This Shenni was not only a great supernatural being in the early days of creation, but also once commanded countless ferocious beasts in the primordial world and ruled the primordial land. He should be the Beast King. Moreover, the time when he attained the Dao was even earlier than that of the Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin clans."

"Beast Emperor Shen Ni!" The expressions of the group changed slightly. They had not expected Shen Ni to have such a background. No wonder he not only possessed the Chaos Treasure World-Destroying Millstone, but was also able to fight alongside the Shangqing Daoist all the way from the Nine Netherworlds to the void.

"I am also unaware of the origins of the other three Daoists." As he spoke, Daoist Shangqing couldn't help but look at Li Xuanyang.

Sensing the gaze of the Shangqing Daoist, Li Xuanyang smiled, waved his hand to remove the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Array, and returned the Five Elements Dharma Body, the Innate Five Directions Flag, and the Innate Five Elements Array Diagram to his Yuan Shen Three Flowers before speaking: "That Daoist who wielded the Chaos True Fire was none other than the Ji Du Daoist who once blocked my path in the Chaos Void!"

"So this person is the Jidu you mentioned, fellow Daoist!" Daoist Shangqing frowned, suddenly thinking of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

"That wielder of the Hunyuan whisk and..." Li Xuanyang paused slightly, not revealing the name of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, and continued, "He claimed to be the Nine-Winged Daoist, and according to Fellow Daoist Zhulong, this Nine-Winged Daoist was one of the great supernatural beings under the Ancestral Dragon in the past, and his true form was the ferocious beast Nine-Winged Heavenly Dragon."

"A great supernatural being under the command of the Ancestral Dragon!" The group was once again taken aback. Although they had never seen the Ancestral Dragon and did not know what kind of supernatural powers he possessed, they were very familiar with his name.

Li Xuanyang nodded and spoke again: "As for the Taoist who wields the Chaos Bell, he is Ri Biao, the leader of the eight ferocious beasts under the command of the Demon Ancestor Rahu!"

Li Xuanyang did not hide much about the origins of the group, but he did not mention that the Chaos Demon God and Jidu were Rahu.

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, a glint of light flashed in Shangqing Daoren's eyes. This was the second time he had heard the name of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, aside from Shen Ni.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the origins and background of this Demon Ancestor Rahu?"

Upon hearing Shangqing Daoist's words, Li Xuanyang hesitated. "I do know a little about the background of Demon Ancestor Rahu, but I cannot say much about it."

"If you really want to know about this, you might as well go to Zixiao Palace in the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens and ask your teacher in person!" After saying that, Li Xuanyang stopped talking.

"Zixiao Palace!" The group of people were all shocked and fell silent. Since it concerned Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it was indeed not appropriate to say too much.

But then he thought of Hongjun, who was known as the Dao Ancestor, and Luohou, who was the Demon Ancestor.

There must be a reason for this.

However, the next moment, Fuxi and Hongyun were suddenly startled and looked at the void outside the Fire Cloud Cave.

At the same time, Li Xuanyang also felt his primordial spirit tremble. The Kongtong Seal suddenly manifested on its own, fell into the air, and transformed into a sky full of golden divine light, revealing countless human fortunes. It took a long time for it to gradually subside.

The three of them exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with horror.

"Such a strong baleful aura, such a dense killing intent."

"Could it be that another upheaval has occurred in the primordial world?" Daoist Shangqing also sensed it. Outside the Fire Cloud Cave, malevolent energy permeated the air, and murderous intent soared to the heavens for billions of miles. A calamity was about to be unleashed once again in the primordial world.

"Fellow Daoist is right, a change has indeed occurred in the primordial world." Fuxi sighed softly, his expression somewhat grim.

"The surge of human destiny must be due to the birth of the Human Emperor." Li Xuanyang was slightly silent. Just now, even the Kongtong Seal and the two human holy emperors, Fuxi and Hongyun, were affected by the human destiny, which shows that this matter is no small thing.

Seeing the expressions on Li Xuanyang's, Fuxi's, and Hongyun's faces, Shangqing Daoist knew that this matter was no ordinary one, and couldn't help but say, "Since the Human Emperor has been born, why don't we go and pay him a visit?"

As he spoke, Daoist Shangqing waved his sleeve at the Zhuxian Sword Formation, retrieving the four Zhuxian swords and the Zhuxian Formation diagram.

Upon hearing Shangqing Daoist's words, Li Xuanyang nodded, "Fellow Daoist's words are exactly what I was thinking. With the birth of the Human Emperor, the calamity is already set, and internal strife among the human race is bound to erupt. We must go there."

“Indeed, we should make the trip.” The group praised in unison, packed their belongings, and rode away from the Fire Cloud Cave on auspicious clouds.

As soon as they arrived outside the Fire Cloud Cave, they felt the pervasive malevolent aura and murderous intent, with waves of calamity rushing towards them.

Strangely, all the malevolent energy, killing intent, and calamity aura were blocked by the aura emanating from the Fire Cloud Cave, and could not fall into the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Fire Cloud Cave truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost of the thirty-six primordial caves; it is truly wondrous."

The Taoist Shangqing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise, "By secluded cultivation here, one can avoid being tainted by calamities and evil spirits, and remain untouched by right and wrong, cause and effect. No wonder Fellow Taoist Xuanyang chose this place as the cultivation ground for Fellow Taoists Fuxi and Hongyun."

Fuxi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and Xuanyin Daoist all showed expressions of surprise, never expecting that Huoyun Cave would contain such mysteries.

Even Li Xuanyang looked surprised. He hadn't expected the Fire Cloud Cave to be so mysterious. No wonder the three emperors of the human race in later generations all secluded themselves in the Fire Cloud Cave to cultivate. It seems that not only was this place far away from the prehistoric land, but the Fire Cloud Cave itself also had its own mysteries.

However, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt in their eyes, as if they had sensed something.

Hongyun was about to speak when Zhen Yuanzi shook his head slightly, "Let's go back to the Primordial World first!"

Hongyun nodded, and then he and the others rode auspicious clouds through the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, arriving on the primordial land.

At this moment, countless strange phenomena arose on the primordial land, almost filling the entire void. Purple energy spread, golden light arose, auspicious clouds covered the land, and auspicious signs were everywhere.

There was no sign of any impending calamity.

However, Li Xuanyang and his companions, who had just arrived in the primordial land, were greatly surprised.

"How could this be!" Hongyun felt that after countless human fortunes gathered together, they all fell into the hands of each human, as if every human born had been recognized by the human fortune and would become the next human emperor.

Logically speaking, even if something unexpected happened during the birth of the Human Emperor, Hongyun was the Earth Emperor among the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and his primordial spirit was entrusted to the fortune of the human race, so he would definitely not escape his perception.

Even Hongyun can't tell who the real Human Emperor is now.

"Countless tribes are vying for the Human Emperor!" Fuxi sighed softly, for the first time he sensed the perilous calamity that lay ahead of the Human Emperor's return to the throne.

“It’s not just countless tribes!” Li Xuanyang shook his head, looking at the constantly emerging strange phenomena, and said softly, “It’s more like thousands of innate gods and demons vying for the Human Emperor.”

Every human who has merged with destiny is either the reincarnation of a quasi-saint or a great supernatural being, or a second-generation disciple of the Xuanmen sect or the reincarnation of an innate god or demon.

Therefore, whether it is the upcoming struggle for the Human Emperor or the struggle for the Human Emperor that Li Xuanyang heard about in his previous life, it does not only affect many tribes of the human race.

Even the many Xuanmen cultivators and witch clans, and even the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan, could not remain uninvolved.

At this moment, the quasi-saints and great supernatural beings in various blessed lands and grotto-heavens, along with numerous second-generation disciples of the Xuanmen, all flew into the void. Gazing at the scene before them, they were dumbfounded, as it was completely different from the scenes of the previous two births of the Human Emperor.
