Chapter 125 The Five Elements Ancestor Visits
"The Demon God of Heaven and Earth?"
On a mountain peak in the west, brimming with spiritual energy, Rahu, carrying the God-Slaying Spear on his back and standing on a black lotus flower, calmly gazed at Mount Buzhou.
"Able to create hundreds of life forms, this universe must already be at the peak of the Great Luo realm."
Rahu's gaze was indifferent; he didn't take Xu Qiankun too seriously.
Although He is currently only at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and has not yet fully mastered the demonic path, He has already found His own path and will soon break through the Great Luo realm and advance to the half-step Primordial Realm.
"Since this is the primordial world, that realm cannot be called half-step Primordial Chaos, but rather Quasi-Saint."
A glint of light flashed in Luo Hou's eyes, revealing an ambition that was hard to conceal deep within them.
He entered the primordial world, took control of heaven and earth, and used the entire primordial world to practice His Way.
"Haha, Pangu, if you knew that the primordial world you painstakingly created was just a stepping stone for me, what would you think?"
......
"Fellow Daoist Qiankun? We had a pretty good relationship during the Chaos Era, so I might consider giving him a visit."
Within the valley shrouded by the Primordial Five Elements Grand Array, a five-colored stream of light shot into the sky, flying towards the direction of Mount Buzhou.
On the Taiyin Star, Wang Shu held an ancient bronze mirror that emitted a strong Taiyin power, and hesitated on her face. "The prehistoric world is undergoing great changes. It is possible to kill ferocious beasts and gain merit. Should I go and compete for it?"
By creating the Taiyin Jade Rabbit clan, she gained a massive amount of Heavenly Dao merit, which propelled her strength to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
However, if she wants to advance to the peak of the Great Luo realm, she might need billions of years of arduous cultivation.
The innate gods and demons are indeed very strong, especially their true forms. Their strength at the Great Luo realm is enough to fight against quasi-saints of later generations.
However, the true form of gods and demons is not obtained out of thin air; it requires a massive amount of energy.
Even if innate gods and demons are powerful and can absorb energy quickly, they still need a long time to accumulate it.
"Let's go take a trip to the prehistoric world."
Wang Shu finally decided to go to the prehistoric world. She packed up her treasures and came to the outside of a primordial formation.
"Xihe, Changxi, please keep an eye on these little ones for me."
"Don't worry, Star Lord, I'll take good care of them."
Two stunningly beautiful women with a cool and aloof demeanor flew out of the innate formation and responded respectfully.
"it is good"
Wang Shu nodded slightly, and in a flash, she transformed into a beam of moonlight and flew towards the Primordial World.
......
"After tens of thousands of years, we have finally fully mastered the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
Inside a palace in Taiyi Immortal City that appeared to be only a hundred feet tall, Xu Qiankun suddenly opened his eyes, his expression one of great excitement.
At this time, He was still only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but His aura had become much more harmonious and natural.
With a slight thought, He concealed all His aura, making Him appear as an ordinary mortal being.
After spending hundreds of thousands of years, He finally used the power of the Great World of Heaven and Earth to sort out the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as a whole, and truly mastered this Great Dao.
"Next, we should strengthen the foundation of all aspects of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so that it can undergo a transformation, thereby advancing to the half-step Hunyuan stage or even proving the Hunyuan stage."
Xu Qiankun's goal has always been to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, not to become a saint in the primordial world.
The sages of the primordial world are indeed very powerful, but this place has too many pitfalls, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.
The victors of this era may become someone else's prey in the next.
The risks and rewards are completely disproportionate. On the contrary, taking the path of enlightenment and achieving primordial unity means more work and more reward, and at least you can have peace of mind.
"Father God, a great Luo has come from outside the city, claiming to be your old friend."
Just as Xu Qiankun was about to devote all his efforts to comprehending the Great Dao of Life, Mu Qing's voice came from outside the Heavenly Array Divine Palace.
"My old friend?" Xu Qiankun exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be Wang Shu who has arrived?"
With his divine sense spread out, he immediately saw the being floating in the air outside Taiyi Immortal City.
He was a powerful figure emanating the aura of the Five Elements Dao. He wore a Five Elements robe, had a peaceful expression, deep eyes, and appeared to be in his thirties or forties. He carried a sword on his back.
"The Five Elements Ancestor"
Although it was the first time they had met, Xu Qiankun recognized the person instantly.
He flashed and vanished from the spot in an instant.
Before the Five Elements Ancestor, the space trembled slightly, and Xu Qiankun's figure appeared before Him.
"Haha, old friend, it's been a long time since we last met, since we parted ways in the chaos."
Upon seeing Xu Qiankun appear, the Five Elements Ancestor was overjoyed.
"Qiankun greets fellow Daoist." Xu Qiankun frowned slightly, a look of doubt in his eyes. "Isn't this the first time we've met?"
"My old friend doesn't recognize me?"
The smile on the face of the Five Elements Ancestor faltered slightly, and the Five Elements spiritual light shone in his eyes as he looked at Xu Qiankun.
Xu Qiankun immediately felt being spied on, but he did nothing and let the Five Elements Ancestor investigate. After a while, the spiritual light in the Five Elements Ancestor's eyes faded, and his expression became dejected.
"Fellow Daoist, I was presumptuous."
"It's alright," Xu Qiankun waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since you've come to my immortal city, why don't we go inside and have a chat? Our great paths complement each other, so could we discuss the Dao?"
"Fellow Daoist, I was presumptuous."
"It's alright," Xu Qiankun waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since you've come to my immortal city, why don't we go inside and have a chat? Our great paths complement each other, so could we discuss the Dao?"
"It is something I could never have desired."
The Five Elements Ancestor nodded slightly.
Although the god and demon before him were not the one in his memory, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was real, and through mutual verification, it would also benefit his cultivation.
Under Xu Qiankun's warm hospitality, the Five Elements Ancestor entered Taiyi Immortal City and then came to Xu Qiankun's Heavenly Array Divine Palace.
"Fellow Daoist is actually skilled in weapon crafting?"
Looking at this palace, which was clearly not a primordial spiritual treasure, yet whose power was no less than that of a top-grade primordial spiritual treasure, the Five Elements Ancestor showed a look of surprise.
"It's just a fancy trick, not worth mentioning."
Xu Qiankun said modestly.
"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken," the Five Elements Ancestor shook his head slightly. "I see that your palace, besides the Dao of weapon crafting, also possesses a power that connects heaven and earth, which is extremely similar to the innate formation that protects us. This should be the Dao of formations, right?"
"Fellow Daoist has good eyesight," Xu Qiankun nodded, and then introduced, "This formation is called the Five Elements Grand Formation. It was created by me after comprehending the innate formation. Later, I was rewarded with merit from the Heavenly Dao, and some of the merit was integrated into this formation, which is how this palace came to be."
"A treasure of acquired merit, fellow Daoist, you are truly fortunate," the Five Elements Ancestor couldn't help but praise, then eagerly asked, "This array formation is extremely compatible with my cultivation; I wonder if you could teach me?"
"Of course, there's no problem."
Two innate gods and demons arrived at a world within the Heavenly Array Divine Palace and sat facing each other.
The Five Elements Ancestor took the initiative to ask Him for guidance on the art of formations, and Xu Qiankun did not hold back, imparting all of His understanding of formations to Him.
The Five Elements Ancestor also took the initiative to reveal the Great Dao of the Five Elements to Him.
The Five Elements Great Dao is one of the most powerful Daos in the Chaos, and it is extremely important to Xu Qiankun's Qiankun Great Dao. Although the Five Elements Ancestor is only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he has only mastered two branches, 'Five Elements Balance' and 'Five Elements Generation and Restraint', it is enough for Xu Qiankun.
He absorbed all the profound mysteries of the Five Elements Dao that he had comprehended and integrated them whole into the Great World of Heaven and Earth, allowing the Great World of Heaven and Earth to absorb and digest them, transforming them into part of the rules governing the operation of the world.
Time passed, and soon thousands of years had gone by.
On this day, Xu Qiankun looked at the Five Elements Ancestor whose aura suddenly surged, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on advancing to the late stage of the Great Luo realm!
Xu Qiankun smiled and offered his congratulations.
Haha, congratulations to you too!
The Five Elements Ancestor stroked his beard, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
His aura was rapidly increasing, and Xu Qiankun was certain that the Five Elements did not improve their cultivation by accumulating energy, but by using Heavenly Dao merits.
What puzzled Xu Qiankun was that the other party had been discussing the Dao with Him for thousands of years, so where did he get so much merit?
Seemingly sensing Xu Qiankun's doubts, the Five Elements Ancestor explained while breaking through his own limits, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but my Five Elements Great Dao is divided into five branches. You have already comprehended the balance of the Five Elements and the generation and restraint of the Five Elements. The remaining three branches are the annihilation of the Five Elements, the differentiation of the Five Elements, and the transformation of the Five Elements."
"Among them, the Five Elements Differentiation means that the Great Dao of the Five Elements can be divided into five Great Daos: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each Great Dao can be transformed into a clone."
"After breaking through to the Great Luo realm, although I did not master the Five Elements Differentiation lineage, I obtained the supernatural power of this lineage in advance, which allows me to transform into five individuals."
"The one discussing the Dao with you here is just one of my avatars. The other four avatars are slaying ferocious beasts and accumulating merit in the primordial world."
"I see"
Xu Qiankun nodded slightly, becoming even more interested in the Five Elements Dao.
"Reporting to Father God, another Great Luo Golden Immortal has come to visit from outside the city. He claims to be Hongjun Daoist."
Just then, Mu Qing entered the Heavenly Array Divine Palace and reported to Xu Qiankun.
"Hongjun Daoist?" Xu Qiankun's mind was shaken, but he did not show any flaws on the surface. He looked at the Five Elements Ancestor and said, "Fellow Daoist, you can focus on your breakthrough. I will go and meet this new fellow Daoist."
"it is good"
The Five Elements Ancestor nodded slightly, then focused all his efforts on breaking through, while Xu Qiankun teleported away with Mu Qing.
