A Trace of Painting Demon God Origin; the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation Is Broken!
Dao Seeking Palace, a primordial aura flowed around Ye Xuan, making him seem like an unchanging ancient rock.
However, just as he was in Secluded Cultivation, a familiar Electronic Sound entered his ears once again.
[Ding-dong!]
[The Daoist Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming, and the Daoist Nuwa have been detected en route to the Dao Seeking Palace, wishing to engage in a Daoist discussion with the host. Please select from the options below.]
[Option 1: Ignore them, let Nuwa and the others leave, complete the task, and you will receive one Chaos Bead Fragment.]
[Option Two: Meet Nuwa and the others, discuss the Dao with them, complete the task, and you will receive one Origin Power the Painting Demon God!]
Hearing the Electronic Sound again, Ye Xuan, who was in Secluded Cultivation, opened his eyes and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
It was within Nuwa's expectations that they would choose to shake hands and make peace.
However, Ye Xuan was quite surprised to find himself inside the Dao Seeking Palace.
However, upon further reflection, Ye Xuan realized that although it was unexpected, it was also within reason.
In the Primordial World, all the sages had already entered the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. In the Primordial World, only the Western Continent remained a pure land.
Furthermore, the Great Dao of Nuwa and others is related to Ye Xuan.
Xuanming Xiubing reached the pinnacle of ice cultivation, freezing all things. He was once instructed by Ye Xuan and only then was he able to comprehend the changes between movement and stillness. Relying on the unorthodox Yin-Yang path, he attained the Primordial Chaos Dao. The shadow of Ye Xuan was entirely present in his Great Dao.
As for Houtu, she governs Reincarnation, life and death, and the Yin-Yang Flow. She and Ye Xuan's Great Dao of Yin-Yang complement each other and are interdependent.
The Great Dao of Creation and the Way of Destruction are inherently opposed yet unified, carrying a hint of the Great Dao of Yin-Yang.
"The Life and Death Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Ice..."
"My Great Dao lies in the Three Thousand Heavens; this is the Dao Fruit."
"If we could discuss the Dao, it would be of some benefit to my understanding of the Great Dao."
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan immediately spoke up.
"I choose the second option: to discuss the Dao with Houtu and others."
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound entered his ears.
[Ding-dong!]
[The host has chosen to engage in a philosophical discussion. The Origin Power, a complete Painting Demon God, is being distributed. Please review it yourself.]
Buzz!
In the void, a mysterious and profound Origin Power also emerged.
On this Origin Power, it was as if a series of paintings were slowly unfolding, with mountains and rivers, as well as the Sun, Moon, and Stars, birds, beasts, insects and fish. Every stroke contained the great power of creation, and every ink contained the mystery of destruction.
The Great Dao of Painting unfolds across the heavens!
If it is the Great Dao of Painting, it can truly open up Three Thousand Worlds. Like Ye Xuan, each of the Three Thousand Worlds can use a Great Dao to Demotion the Three Thousand Great Daos, and there is even a glimmer of hope to transcend the Above the Great Dao.
However, only Ye Xuan dared to try this method of attaining enlightenment.
Each of the Three Thousand Heavens and earth was elevated to the Great Thousand World in one go. Even Yang Mei and the others dared not attempt it. As for mastering the Three Thousand Great Daos and then each mastering the other Three Thousand Great Daos, that was even more of a pipe dream.
However, while he dared not attempt to use the Painting Demon God, he could help Ye Xuan perfect his own Dao Fruit.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan waved his hand, and the power of the Painting Demon God, one of its Origin Power, entered Ye Xuan's palm.
"Yuan Yao!"
After finishing, Ye Xuan's voice traveled through layers of void and into a quiet cave.
"Disciple is here, Master!"
A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in an emerald green fairy dress, her entire body shrouded in a powerful aura of life, appeared instantly outside the main hall, bowing respectfully. She was none other than Ye Xuan's eldest disciple, Daoist Yuan Yao.
Ye Xuan looked at Daoist Yuan Yao and, seeing her strength, realized she had also reached the Quasi-Saint Peak, and spoke up.
"At the foot of Spirit Mountain, three more distinguished guests have arrived. Go and receive them. Fellow Houtu is in charge of the Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation, while Fellow Daoist Nuwa is in charge of the Way of Creation. Their teachings are remarkably similar to the Great Dao of Life that you cultivate. If you can glean even a little insight from this discussion, it will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuan Yao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately accepted the order and left.
At the foot of Spirit Mountain, as soon as Daoist Yuan Yao descended the mountain, she felt a ripple in the void. Although no extraordinary phenomena occurred, she could still sense, with her powerful strength, that a powerful being was approaching from the void.
His Quasi-Saint Peak strength made him feel a bit of pressure only from Sage, who must be the distinguished guest his master mentioned.
Buzz!
Within the space, another surge occurred, and three peerless figures appeared out of thin air.
The person in the center is none other than Daoist Houtu; to her left is Saint Nuwa, whose body exudes the Qi of Creation; and to her right is Ancestral Witch Xuanming temperament is as cold and aloof as eternal ice.
"Yuan Yao has met the Saint Nuwa, the Saint Houtu, and the Sage Xuanming!"
Daoist Yuan Yao dared not be negligent and bowed gracefully.
Upon hearing this, Houtu and the others also turned their gazes to Yuan Yao.
Sensing the aura emanating from him, Empress Houtu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but speak.
"After some time apart, Junior Nephew Yuan Yao's cultivation has actually reached the peak of Quasi-Saint Peak, and she is beginning to faintly touch the threshold of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal..."
Upon hearing this, even the usually aloof Ancestral Witch Xuanming showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The strength of Daoist Yun Xiao, the Second Younger Brother of Ye Xuan, has already shaken the Primordial World. Relying on the power of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, he can even contend with Sage.
However, this still requires the use of external force.
However, Daoist Yuan Yao was different; his strength was the result of his arduous cultivation.
His strength had actually reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint Peak.
He is not far from becoming Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. Once he truly comprehends the Great Dao of Life, he can rely on the Three Corpses Unification to enter the realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"Esteemed Sage, you flatter me greatly. This disciple has only just reached the Quasi-Saint Peak, and there is still a huge gap between me and the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm."
Daoist Yuan Yao chuckled softly before speaking.
"Your temperament is exactly like that of Brother Jieyin."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Nuwa finally spoke and asked.
"Yuan Yao!"
"But did Fellow Daoist Jieyin send you out to receive us?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Daoist Yuan Yao replied, "It was my master who sent me. Esteemed seniors, my master has prepared tea at the Dao Seeking Palace, awaiting the arrival of the three Sage."
Upon hearing that Daoist Yuan Yao had arrived at Ye Xuan's behest, the group exchanged glances.
Although it was expected, it still left me somewhat shocked.
The group came to the Dao Seeking Palace mainly to avoid the eyes and ears of Primordial Heavenly Venerate and others. They specially joined forces to use great supernatural powers to conceal their auras. They even left a clone in the endless Chaos Qi. Even Taiqing Laozi, who is also a Sage, would not be able to detect their whereabouts unless he went to the endless chaos.
However, Ye Xuan had already figured everything out before even leaving the palace, and had even sent someone down the mountain to meet him.
Such ability to deduce the secrets of heaven is simply unfathomable!
However, Ye Xuan's immense strength was a well-known fact in the Primordial World.
Although there was a slight shock, considering it was Ye Xuan, it wasn't too surprising.
Thinking of this, Daoist Houtu calmed himself down before smiling and speaking.
"Good!"
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin has been waiting for us for a long time, so let's not keep him waiting any longer and set off as soon as possible!"
After he spoke, everyone nodded in agreement. The three of them followed Daoist Yuan Yao and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the Daoist Dao Seeking Palace on the mountaintop, which looked simple and unadorned but contained Qiankun.
"Squeak!"
As the Dao Seeking Palace slowly opened, a refreshing fragrance of the Great Dao wafted into the air, instantly invigorating the senses.
Ye Xuan sat upright on the cloud bed without getting up. He simply raised his hand slightly, gesturing for everyone to sit down, a smile on his lips, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"The presence of three fellow Daoists is an honor to my humble abode!"
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. We apologize for Fellow Daoist Jieyin and not find it offensive that we have disturbed your Secluded Cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head.
"It's hardly an intrusion!"
"Without the arrival of my three fellow Daoists, my strength has reached its limit. Advancing to the next realm will not be achieved in a day."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a hint of curiosity, Daoist Houtu finally spoke up to ask.
"Fellow Daoist, with your strength, could it be that you have already reached the ninth level of the Primordial Nine Heavens Realm?"
Houtu ask a question, Ye Xuan shook his head and replied.
"Primordial Nine Heavens?"
"My current strength is only at the Primordial Seven Heavens. I will need countless years to advance to the next realm."
Although what Ye Xuan said seemed insignificant, Houtu and the others had already reached the Realm of Sages.
As for the Hunyuan Realm, the difficulty of advancing to the next level is already well known. Seeing his strength and his advancement to the Primordial Seven Heavens Realm, he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
The Primordial Seven Heavens realm is the Late-Saint Stage, which is not the same as the Mid-Saint Stage.
Thinking of this, Daoist Xuanming also asked.
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, who do you think will ultimately emerge victorious in this Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?"
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is incredibly powerful, but Primordial Heavenly Venerate and his group consist of four Sage. Once the battle begins, the outcome remains to be seen!
"The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Saints."
"However, within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, there are four Sage. The one who ultimately triumphs, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will likely be the Primordial Heavenly Venerate."
"However, there is still a slight Variable Number at play; it all depends on how much skill the Tongtian Sect Master has acquired under my guidance..."
When Ye Xuan spoke, a strange look appeared in everyone's eyes.
As early as when the Tongtian Sect Master set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, all the Sage knew that the Tongtian Sect Master had not lied back then, and that the endless strange phenomena of heaven and earth that occurred had nothing to do with him, but were the work of others.
As for who created the grand formation back then, although everyone suspected it was Ye Xuan, they only had a slight doubt. After all, Ye Xuan not only comprehended the Three Thousand Great Daos, but his strength was also at the forefront of everyone. Where would he have the spare energy to create an unparalleled and ferocious formation?
However, judging from Ye Xuan's tone, the great formation that seemed to have been meant to slaughter the entire Primordial World back then was actually created by him.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, was the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Formation, which produced endless Great Dao of Slaughter phenomena in the Primordial World, also your doing?"
Daoist Xuanming's face showed a hint of disbelief.
"It's my work!"
"However, its true name should be the Heaven-Slaying Array."
"The four Divine Sword of slaughter are each a Innate Killing Supreme Treasure, representing a Supreme Great Dao."
"The Way of Destiny, the Way of Karma, the Way of Time and Space, and the Great Dao of Strength."
"If one is Daoist Tongtian, one can comprehend even a fraction of the secrets of my Heaven-Slaying Formation. Even if one cannot truly slaughter Sage, it can still greatly enhance one's combat power."
When Ye Xuan revealed that the Heaven-Slaying Formation was set up using four Innate Supreme Treasure, everyone was once again filled with disbelief.
"Four Innate Supreme Treasure?"
Furthermore, each of these Innate Supreme Treasure contains the supreme Dao.
The foremost of the Three Thousand Great Daos is the Great Dao of Strength!
Among the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Way of Space, which ranks second, and the Dao of Time, together form the Dao of Spacetime.
There are also the Dao of Fate, ranked fourth among the Three Thousand Great Daos, and the Way of Karma, ranked fifth.
Once this supreme formation is set up, it is likely comparable to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
"It's not four Innate Supreme Treasure, it's five Innate Supreme Treasure."
"The Heaven-Slaying Formation Diagram is also a Innate Supreme Treasure."
After explaining, Ye Xuan waved his hand again, transmitting a Supreme Dharma Gate into the primordial spirits of Yuan Yao and the others.
"This Supreme Dharma Gate is called the Demonic God Artifact Refining Method!"
"I obtained it by chance. If any of you possess a Chaos Wonder, you too can forge your own Innate Supreme Treasure."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they thanked Ye Xuan profusely. Such Supreme Dharma Gate was casually bestowed upon him; he was truly generous and wealthy.
"No need to be polite. While the others are still within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, let's have a discussion!"
"If the Tongtian Sect Master and the Primordial Heavenly Venerate were to lose, they would likely want to reopen the Earth, Fire, Water, Wind. You could also participate and gain immense Power of Merit."
After Ye Xuan spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.
Both the Tongtian Sect Master and the Primordial Heavenly Venerate had already reached the edge of the cliff, with nowhere to retreat!
If you fail, you lose everything.
To the Establish Sect and become a saint is not like Daoist Nuwa, Molding Clay to Create Humans; it requires fulfilling Heavenly Dao Great Oath.
Especially for Primordial Heavenly Venerate, since he Establish Sect, the General Trend of Heavenly Dao has been constantly changing, and he needs to follow the General Trend of Heavenly Dao to fulfill his oath to the Heavenly Dao and act on behalf of Heaven.
With this in mind, everyone began to discuss the Dao.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand years had passed, and once again, an Electronic Sound entered Ye Xuan's ears.
[Ding-dong!]
