The Secret of Ancestor Five Elements

Ancestor Hongjun

Ancestor Five Elements was also a top-tier Chaos Demon God, second only to the Yin Yang Demon God.

However, according to the original trajectory of the Primordial World, there seemed to be no record of Ancestor Five Elements in later ages.

That is to say, this person most likely died, but exactly how he died, no one knew.

Li Xinghe had once calculated the Primordial Demon Gods who had not fallen—Karma, Yin Yang, Qian Kun—he had seen them all.

But that Five Elements Demon God was nowhere to be found. Being ranked among the top-tier Demon Gods meant none were simple, so Li Xinghe had been calculating his whereabouts all along.

Today, he finally deduced some information and brought Xuan Ming and Houtu along to chase him down.

Deep within the Primordial World, Ancestor Five Elements was attempting to steal the Five Elements power of the Primordial World. If he succeeded, his cultivation would skyrocket.

In a short time, he could even recover to the peak cultivation of his previous life.

Then the entire Primordial World would bow to him. Karma Demon God, Yin Yang Demon God, the Three Primal Races—none of them would be worth a glance in his eyes.

But at the critical moment, someone stopped him—someone he never expected.

"Hongjun, you dare block me?" Ancestor Five Elements said with a dark expression.

It wasn't that he feared Hongjun, but that he feared alarming the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.

Like the other Demon Gods, he had never taken Hongjun seriously. A mere Qu She, ranked dead last among the Three Thousand Demon Gods—what was there to fear?

"Five Elements Demon God, you dare steal the Five Elements Origin of the Primordial World? This is going against the will of Heaven," Hongjun said coldly.

"Going against Heaven? You and I are both Chaos Demon Gods. What does the Heaven of this Primordial World have to do with us? Better to destroy this realm and return the Primordial World to Chaos. Perhaps the Great Dao will bestow merit upon us."

Hongjun naturally could not agree with Ancestor Five Elements' approach. In Chaos, he was merely the lowest-ranked Chaos Demon God, but in the Primordial World, he had found his stride. Now he was no weaker than those reincarnated top-tier Demon Gods.

Moreover, the reason he had found Ancestor Five Elements this time was that he had vaguely received guidance from the Heavenly Dao.

Though the Heavenly Dao had not fully awakened, it could still sense some crises.

And it was precisely because of this that Hongjun gained the favor of the Heavenly Dao, later succeeding in slaying Luohu and attaining the Dao, becoming the first Saint of the Primordial World.

"Ancestor Five Elements, guess why I appeared here?" Hongjun said calmly.

Though the Chaos World had existed since time immemorial, this was the era of the Primordial World. Pangu's creation of Heaven and Earth was the unstoppable tide of fate, and this world held immense opportunities.

Those former top-tier Demon Gods were all still living in the past. In the end, they all hated Pangu. If not for him, they would all be Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin, roaming freely in Chaos.

Only Hongjun and Luohu were more pragmatic. In their eyes, the Primordial World was a great treasure trove. If used well, even reaching the Great Dao Realm was not impossible.

Ancestor Five Elements' face darkened. This was deep within the Primordial World, where the Five Elements Origin resided. The Heavenly mechanism was chaotic; ordinary people could never find this place.

There was only one possibility: guidance from the Heavenly Dao. In other words, his long-planned scheme held no secrets at all.

Even Li Xinghe, relying on his Chaos Supreme Treasure, could not calculate Ancestor Five Elements' existence.

First, there was no karmic link between them. Second, Li Xinghe had not found this person even in future timelines.

Who would have thought he was hiding in a place that could obscure the Heavenly mechanism?

"Enough talk, Hongjun. You think you can stop me? A fool's dream," Ancestor Five Elements sneered.

Since his reincarnation, Ancestor Five Elements had been cultivating in the Five Elements Origin of the Primordial World.

Over the years, he had already reached the Golden Immortal of the Origin realm, and Hongjun was at the same level now.

At the same realm, victory depended on treasures, laws, and combat experience.

As a top-tier Chaos Demon God, Ancestor Five Elements naturally did not take Hongjun seriously. Even if Hongjun had fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation, he was unafraid.

Ancestor Five Elements was no slouch either. He wielded the Chaos Spiritual Treasure Five Elements Pagoda, his companion spiritual treasure from his time as a Chaos Demon God.

After his fall, he found the Five Elements Pagoda and repaired it here.

The companion spiritual treasures of the higher-ranked Chaos Demon Gods were all immensely powerful, not much weaker than Innate Supreme Treasures.

Beyond that, he had obtained other treasures in this Five Elements Origin—something no weaker than an Innate Supreme Treasure.

To be precise, it was five items, each a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. These were the Five Innate Banners that would later shake the world.

They were the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Color Banner, the Southern Ground-Leaving Flame Light Banner, the Western Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner, and the Northern True Martial Black Eagle Banner, also known as the Xuan Yuan Water Controlling Banner.

These five banners were also transformed from the leaves of that great sucker, the Chaos Green Lotus. Well, lotuses have plenty of leaves.

"Then let's see!" Hongjun, guided by the Heavenly Dao, was now bursting with confidence.

The two powerhouses clashed directly, and their aura leaked, allowing Li Xinghe to calculate their location.

By the time Li Xinghe arrived, the battle had already reached its climax.

Ancestor Five Elements was indeed a top-tier Demon God. The Five Innate Banners combined gave him defensive power comparable to an Innate Defensive Supreme Treasure.

Even the fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation could not break through Ancestor Five Elements' defense.

In the shadows, Li Xinghe used the Law of Space to obscure the Heavenly mechanism. Xuan Ming was shocked: "Too powerful! The Primordial World is truly dangerous!"

"Adoptive Father, I finally understand your intentions," Houtu said, also terrified.

Either of these two could easily wipe out the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

They had originally thought that the Three Pure Ones, transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, were nothing special, believing themselves invincible. They had even considered causing trouble for the Three Primal Races.

"So this is what you call strong? Do you know that the leaders of the Three Primal Races—Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin—are all Golden Immortals of the Origin at the mid stage?" Li Xinghe continued to scare them.

Now they were even more frightened, and it was a good thing they hadn't gone to the Three Primal Races to demand treasures, or they wouldn't even know how they died.

Seeing that they were afraid, Li Xinghe said no more. The Three Primal Races were brimming with fortune and destiny; anyone who tried to provoke them now was just asking for death.

The three clan leaders had obtained the merit from the Fierce Beasts Tribulation and were even a step ahead of him, breaking into the mid stage of Golden Immortal of the Origin.

But realm didn't mean everything. If he wanted to break through, he could do so at any time.

And if it came to a real fight, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin combined wouldn't be enough to take him on.

In Yuanshi Tianzun's words, they were fools who cultivated only magical power and not merit.

The Three Primal Races were precisely obsessed with pursuing overwhelming strength, which led to the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation later on.

"You two wait here. Let your Adoptive Father go get you some good treasures." Li Xinghe said with a smile.

"Adoptive Father, maybe we should forget it. I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death." Houtu was kind-hearted and didn't want Li Xinghe to take the risk.

"That's right, Adoptive Father. Let's just go back to Pangu Temple and lie low. As long as we don't come out, no one can break in." Xuan Ming also said cautiously.

"Whoa, you two really underestimate your father! I'm robbing them today, no question." Li Xinghe immediately jumped up.

Who was he? The fusion of the Time Demon God and the Destiny Demon God, Pangu's brother, and more importantly, a transmigrator.

Saying he was inferior to Hongjun? That earthworm was nothing.

"I'm going to buy some oranges... ah, no, I'm going to rob them. You stay right here, don't wander off." Li Xinghe then steered the Chaos Pearl and slowly approached.

As the saying goes, a lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit, and besides, neither Hongjun nor Ancestor Five Elements were simple.

"I'm the number one sneak in the Primordial World—if I fight, I ambush, never face head-on. I wonder if I can kill Hongjun." Li Xinghe couldn't help but look up at the sky. He knew the Heavenly Dao was definitely watching this place.
