A Strange Great Array-A Primordial Golden Immortal Expert Was Actually Living Here in Seclusion!

[Five Elements Demon God True Body: It can condense incarnations of the five great elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—in places rich in the Five Elements' origin! Each incarnation possesses eighty percent of the main body's combat power and can cultivate independently, with all insights gained returning to the main body!]

Five!

Incarnations possessing eighty percent of the main body's combat power!

They could even cultivate independently!

Su Ming's breathing came to a halt!

What level of strength did he currently possess?

Although he was only at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, with the enhancement of the Heart of Pangu, his true combat power was enough to contend head-on with a Quasi-Saint!

What did eighty percent of his combat power represent?

Each incarnation was at least a top-tier Grand Unity Golden Immortal. In some aspects, they might even rival experts who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm!

If all five incarnations emerged and formed the Five Elements Great Array...

It was simply unimaginable!

Su Ming forcibly suppressed his excitement and opened his eyes again.

The entire world looked different in his eyes.

He saw through the valley's surface and glimpsed its true origin beneath!

Deep underground, he saw five incomparably enormous spiritual veins stretching from east to west, resembling five slumbering divine dragons!

One shone with dazzling golden light, one was lush and green, one was a vast expanse of blue waves, one blazed with soaring scarlet flames, and one radiated a thick, heavy yellow glow!

They were actually five supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Veins!

The five supreme-grade spiritual veins intertwined, forming a natural Five Elements Great Array that seized the wonders of heaven and earth. At the core of the array, a wisp of Chaos energy so faint that it was almost imperceptible was slowly dissipating.

That was the last trace of the Five Elements Demon God's origin imprint!

At that moment, the system's notification tone rang out again.

[Prompt: This technique originated from the Chaos Demon Gods before the world was formed. Its profundity far surpasses the Primordial Wilderness's method of Slaying the Three Corpses.]

[The method of Slaying the Three Corpses requires Innate Spiritual Treasures to entrust the good corpse, evil corpse, and self corpse. It is not only restricted by the grade of the spiritual treasures but can also produce at most three Three Corpses Incarnations.]

[The Five Elements Demon God True Body requires no external objects. With the world's Five Elements origins as its foundation, its potential is limitless and far surpasses Slaying the Three Corpses!]

Seeing the system's notification, Su Ming's eyes lit up slightly.

At that moment, the figure of the future Dao Ancestor, Hongjun, surfaced in his mind.

In the future, Hongjun would become a Saint through the method of Slaying the Three Corpses. He would preach in the Purple Cloud Palace and even establish this method as the supreme orthodox technique of the Mystic Gate.

Yet now, the system was telling him that this method of attaining sainthood, revered as an absolute standard by countless cultivators of later generations, was simply trash compared with the Five Elements Demon God True Body he had just obtained!

It required an Innate Spiritual Treasure?

And could produce at most three corpses?

By comparison, the Five Elements True Body not only required no treasures, but could also directly produce five incarnations!

The difference was like heaven and earth!

Su Ming's gaze swept over the five imposing supreme-grade spiritual veins underground, and his eyes grew intensely heated.

"Kong Xuan, you are relatively familiar with Five Elements Valley. Do you know whether there is anything strange here? I want to take a look."

"Reporting to Master, it is at the very depths of Five Elements Valley. I passed through this place before, and the Five Elements origin within my body once produced a faint resonance with it. That feeling... was as if I had encountered something of the same origin."

Kong Xuan pointed toward the depths of the valley as he spoke.

Su Ming nodded and led the two of them toward the depths of the valley.

Five Elements Valley truly lived up to its name. The farther they went, the denser the Five Elements Spiritual Energy in the air became, almost condensing into tangible spiritual mist.

Deep beneath the earth under their feet, they could clearly sense five enormous spiritual veins coiled like five divine dragons. They intertwined with one another, forming a natural Five Elements circulation array.

A Blessed Land Cave Heaven of this level could be considered top-tier throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness. No wonder it had been able to give birth to such powerful restrictions.

Soon, they arrived at the very center of the valley.

The Five Elements Spiritual Energy was at its most abundant here, while the Five-Colored Divine Light intertwined and reflected off itself in dazzling splendor.

"Master, this is the place." Kong Xuan stopped.

Su Ming stood where he was and slowly closed his eyes. His vast Divine Sense, as immense as the sea, instantly swept out like mercury pouring across the ground, scanning every inch of the valley.

His Divine Sense was immensely powerful, enough to cover countless millions of miles of mountains and rivers. With a single thought, he could perceive even the smallest details.

Yet after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

Under the probing of his Divine Sense, aside from the five supreme-grade spiritual veins, the entire valley showed no abnormalities whatsoever.

He had not found the slightest trace of a restriction, let alone any fluctuation from an array.

"Interesting."

Su Ming thought to himself.

A restriction capable of evading his Divine Sense was of a level far beyond imagination.

Seeing Su Ming frown, Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng grew tense as well and did not dare make a sound to disturb him.

"Master, could I have been mistaken?" Kong Xuan asked uncertainly.

"No." Su Ming shook his head. "Your Five Elements origin would not resonate without reason. There must be something mysterious here; it is simply hidden extremely deeply."

It seemed ordinary methods would not be enough to find it.

With a thought, Su Ming sank into his sea of consciousness.

At the center of his sea of consciousness, a chaos-colored fragment of a jade disc floated quietly, radiating an aura of the supreme Great Dao.

It was precisely a fragment of the legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Creation Jade Disc!

"Rise!"

Su Ming activated the power of his primordial spirit and drew upon the strength of the Creation Jade Disc Fragment.

Buzz!

A profound and mysterious Dao resonance instantly spread from the fragment and merged into Su Ming's perception.

In an instant, the world in Su Ming's eyes changed.

Mountain rocks were no longer mountain rocks, and vegetation was no longer vegetation.

All matter was broken down and restored into the most fundamental lines of law. The circulation of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, the minute folds in the dimensions of space, the silent flow of the River of Time... everything became incomparably clear within his perception.

In this state, no disguise or concealment could escape detection!

Su Ming's perception once again covered the entire valley.

This time, he finally discovered something different.

In the void not far in front of him, there was an almost imperceptible fluctuation, like a slender spider's thread, completely out of place within the surrounding perfect web of laws.

Without the enhancement of the Creation Jade Disc Fragment, even if he had pushed his Divine Sense to its limit, he absolutely would not have been able to discover this trace that was nearly fused with space.

Found it!

Su Ming's heart stirred, and his Divine Sense followed the fluctuation deeper.

Soon, the outline of a huge and complicated restriction emerged in his mind.

This restriction had not formed naturally. It had been arranged by someone after the creation of the world. The arranger's skill was so exquisite, and their use of the Laws of Space and the Five Elements was so ingenious, that it was simply inconceivable.

"The person who set up this array is at least a top-tier Primordial Golden Immortal, and may even have already touched the threshold of sainthood."

Su Ming reached this conclusion inwardly.

A Primordial Golden Immortal was a terrifying existence on the same level as Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi!

He continued probing, his Divine Sense cautiously moving through the core of the restriction.

After a moment, Su Ming's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a glint flashed through his eyes.

There was actually no soul imprint left on this restriction!

This meant that the restriction's owner had most likely fallen during the endless passage of time.

The enormous treasure before him was ownerless!

This discovery improved Su Ming's mood considerably.

If the restriction had an owner, he would have needed to expend considerable effort and might even have formed a karmic connection with an ancient expert. But since it was ownerless, there was no need for him to be polite.

For the next three days, Su Ming did not act rashly.

He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his entire mind immersed in deducing and analyzing the enormous restriction.

Kong Xuan, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and the Six-Eared Macaque quietly protected him from the side, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.
