Primordial Era: Reborn as Zhen Yuanzi, taking control of the underground passage

Chapter 207 The Five Elements Flag Helps Kong Xuan

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi did not approach Mount Sumeru to disturb its gestation. Instead, he found a quiet place outside the mountain, manifested a futon, and sat down peacefully.

He did not recount his profound "Earth Chaos Scripture" or the Five Elements and the Way of Reincarnation, but instead gathered his thoughts and slowly began to speak.

The voice was peaceful yet majestic, like the imperial decree of the Great Dao, directly penetrating the depths of Mount Sumeru, reaching the two nascent spiritual consciousnesses: "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of heaven and earth; named, it is the mother of all things—"

What he was talking about was the foundation of the Great Way, the beginning of cultivation.

From guiding qi into the body and refining essence into qi, it goes on to condensing the golden elixir and generating the primordial spirit;

From comprehending the laws and condensing the seed of the Dao, to the gathering of the three flowers at the top and the convergence of the five elements, the path leads to the attainment of the Great Luo Dao and transcendence of the long river of time and destiny!

What he said was not profound or unfathomable; on the contrary, it was all the most fundamental and core principles of cultivation in the primordial world.

But precisely because of its fundamental nature, it points directly to the essence of the Great Way, eliminating many extraneous details and errors, thus laying an incomparably solid and pure foundation for those who listen to the Way.

Especially for innate deities like Jieyin and Zhunti, this fundamental "Great Dao" is of immeasurable benefit to perfecting their foundation and clarifying their future path!

Zhen Yuanzi's sermons did not elicit any grand phenomena such as heavenly flowers falling or golden lotuses springing from the ground; they appeared simple and unadorned.

But the Great Dao Mantra, like a gentle stream, nourished silently and clearly imprinted itself on the nascent consciousness of Jieyin and Zhunti, clearing away many obstacles in their gestation process and pointing them in the initial direction.

He could sense that as the two beams of light listened to the Dao, their auras became more solid and active, and the speed of their formation seemed to have accelerated slightly.

And naturally, a feeling of closeness and gratitude arose towards him.

The sermon lasted for eighty-one days.

When the last Daoist phrase fell, Zhen Yuanzi stopped speaking, smiled slightly, and his figure slowly dissipated from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

Within Mount Sumeru, the two beams of light swayed slightly, seemingly expressing silent gratitude and farewell.

Zhen Yuanzi knew that this seed of goodwill had already been planted.

What the future holds, only fate will tell.

They left Mount Sumeru, which was the cradle of the future Western Lord.

Zhen Yuanzi did not linger. He transformed into a beam of Xuanhuang light and soon returned to the Wanshou Mountain Realm.

The mountains were shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy. Compared to the desolate wilderness he had encountered during his travels, it was a paradise on earth, peaceful and serene, which was refreshing and delightful.

The Old Ancestor Hongyun, who had sensed his presence beforehand, was already waiting to greet him at the temple gate. Upon seeing him return, he smiled and teased, "Fellow Daoist, has your journey been quite fruitful? What confidential matter did Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng invite you for that has kept you occupied for so long?"

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun walked into the temple side by side and came to the four-symbol banana tree in the backyard.

The gentle breeze and bright moon had already prepared fragrant tea.

Zhen Yuanzi sat down and sighed softly.

During the journey to the Undying Volcano, Yuan Feng's consciousness is awakened by the Bitter Bamboo, and she embarks on an adventurous rebirth.

The story unfolds as it recounts the eventual birth of two eggs imbued with the innate five elements and the essence of yin and yang, along with the various scenes of the deceased entrusting their orphans to others on their deathbed.

As Hongyun listened, the relaxed expression on her face gradually faded, replaced by solemnity and sighs.

He picked up his teacup, then put it down, and finally sighed: "Alas—think of that Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, how magnificent he was in the past, ruling the sky, with all birds paying homage, vying for supremacy in the primordial world with the Ancestral Dragon and the First Qilin, how spirited he was!"

Unexpectedly, under the great calamity, it ended up like this—its consciousness was forever suppressed, silent like the volcano, leaving only two eggs of Nirvana mutation in the world. How tragic, how lamentable!

He looked at Zhen Yuanzi with admiration in his eyes: "However, it is wise of her to think of you at this last moment and entrust the continuation of her bloodline to you. It is also a sign of her absolute trust in you as a person and as strong as you."

Fellow Daoist, by agreeing to this matter, you not only fulfill your past friendship through discussions on the Dao, but also accumulate great merit and karmic benefit. However…

He then changed the subject, his voice tinged with worry, "These two children have extraordinary backgrounds, but that also means they are involved in a great deal of karma. Teaching them will probably not be an easy task."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded, indicating that he understood: "What Fellow Daoist Hongyun said is absolutely right."

Good fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger of good fortune.

"Now that they have entered my tutelage, I will guide them diligently, dissolving any remaining karma within them and leading them onto the righteous path. This is also a test of my own resolve and abilities."

Having said that, he moved his mind, and the Xuanhuang Qi of the Earth Book circulated, taking out the two radiant giant eggs from the Earth Book space.

It was carefully placed in the core area under the Four Symbols Banana Tree, where the spiritual energy was most abundant.

The moment the two eggs appeared, they immediately stirred up the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Four Symbols Banana Tree sensed the pure innate five elements and yin-yang energy.

The branches and leaves moved swiftly without wind, and the flow of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind seemed to become more lively, subtly resonating with the two eggs.

Zhen Yuanzi first looked at the egg that was emitting chaotic five-colored light.

He pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his sleeve, five divine lights flew out from his body—the very Five Primordial Banners!

The Azure Lotus Banner of the East transformed into a wisp of azure wood energy, hovering over the east of the egg, scattering endless vitality and a chilling Daoist aura.

The Southern Flame Banner transformed into a streak of fiery red light, hovering over the egg, providing pure fire element and transformative power;

The central apricot-yellow flag stands above the egg, with ten thousand golden lotus phantoms hanging down, providing an unbreakable foundation and the energy of the central fertile earth;

The western plain-colored cloud banner transformed into a beam of Geng-gold white light, hovering over the west of the egg, radiating a destructive and cutting power;

The Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag transformed into a beam of black Gui water, hovering above the egg, providing the gentlest nourishment and the essence of ice.

The five flags stood in five directions, slowly rotating according to a mysterious trajectory, instantly setting up a small innate five elements spiritual array!

The purest and most refined innate five elements were continuously drawn from the void and from the primordial earth.

After being transformed and purified by the grand formation, it becomes the most suitable nutrients for the Five Elements Egg to absorb, like a giant Five Elements placenta, enveloping and nurturing it.

Furthermore, the boundless Daoist principles of the Five Elements naturally permeate the egg as the Qi of the Five Elements circulates, helping it to perfect its own origin and comprehend the wonders of the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements.

Within the formation, the five-element eggs shone with a brighter and more harmonious five-colored radiance.

The patterns on the eggshell seemed even clearer and more vibrant, as if a thirsty creature was greedily and comfortably absorbing this unique nourishment.

After arranging the five elemental eggs, Zhen Yuanzi turned his gaze to the egg that was clearly black and white, with the yin and yang energies flowing continuously.

Although the Yin-Yang Dao was not his specialty, he had some knowledge of it and knew that its profound mysteries were no less than those of the Five Elements.

To better guide and nurture this egg, ensuring its healthy development of yin and yang, it undoubtedly requires a master with extremely high attainments in this field.

He immediately thought of his ally—the Yin-Yang Taoist!

The Yin-Yang Daoist wields the Taiji Diagram and the Yin-Yang Sword. His "Yin-Yang Balance" has reached the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, making him a leader in cultivating the Yin-Yang Dao in the primordial world.
