The Profound Mystery of the Great Dao of Earth, Endless Power of the Land!

After Ye Xuan made his choice, another electronic sound reached his ears.

[Ding dong!]

[Host has chosen to meet Daoist Houtu. Thirty percent of the Great Dao of Earth's laws are being distributed. Please check them yourself, Host.]

In the void, a trace of mysterious power entered Ye Xuan's Primordial Spirit.

Watching the thirty percent of Earth law comprehension added to his Primordial Spirit, Ye Xuan entered secluded cultivation, intending to first grasp it briefly.

Within the Way of Five Elements, a Great Dao True Seed of Earth already existed, and he already had some insights of his own into the Great Dao of Earth. He went straight into secluded cultivation. A thousand years later, a look of enlightenment appeared on Ye Xuan's face. Gazing at the endless continent in the West, it seemed to connect with the boundless earth beneath his feet, giving him a sense of being indestructible through countless kalpas and impervious to all evils.

Moreover, in Ye Xuan's perception, once his Great Dao of Earth was perfected, he could merge with the endless earth, gaining boundless Dharma power, inexhaustible and never-ending.

Half a day later, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, a hint of confusion on his face.

"Boundless Dharma power, inexhaustible and never-ending—how is this different from a Heavenly Dao Saint?"

For a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, to some extent, their power was also inexhaustible. But once they truly went all out, they too would tire. Emperor Taiyi and the others, working together and fully activating the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, would eventually fall into a disadvantage if the battle dragged on.

However, if the Great Dao of Earth were perfected, standing on the Western Land, Ye Xuan could use an Innate Supreme Treasure like a Saint.

"Is it because I saved the endless living beings of the West and repaired the Western Spiritual Veins, creating a connection with me, that this mystery occurs?"

Moreover, Ye Xuan was the Son of Destiny of the Western Continent. A method for becoming a Saint was profoundly mysterious. The Dao Ancestor had the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method, which he only comprehended with the help of the supreme treasure, most of the Jade Plate Fragments.

But in contrast, Ye Xuan had basically perfected his method on his own. Yet his talent wasn't that strong. Without the Power of Supreme Destiny of the West, Ye Xuan wouldn't believe it.

"Another unexpected joy. Under the Heavenly Dao, the power of variables is truly everywhere. If the Demon Emperor and the others, or the Twelve Ancestral Witches, had made some contribution to the Heavenly Dao and perfected the Great Dao of Earth, they could be like me, standing on the earth, inherently undefeated, surpassing even Daoist Zhenyuanzi!"

Ye Xuan shook his head. If Houtu and the others had realized this as early as he did, they might have had a sliver of hope to seize the position of overlord.

With the power of the endless earth in the East, Houtu alone could equal a Saint.

But it was already too late. In the confrontation between the Pangu True Body and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, they incurred a great Karma with countless living beings, losing their last chance at life. Mutual destruction was their only Fate.

Just as he was thinking, Daoist Houtu arrived at the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain from the Pangu Temple, requesting to see Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan ordered Golden Cicada to greet her at the door. Learning that she was one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Daoist Houtu, Golden Cicada was stunned again.

First someone from the Heavenly Court, now one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches—Master's face was truly great. Though Golden Cicada was shocked, he kept a calm expression and let her in.

"Daoist Houtu, a rare guest. What important matter brings you thousands of miles to my West?"

Seeing Houtu arrive, Ye Xuan set out Innate Spiritual Fruits and invited her to sit.

Hearing this, Daoist Houtu didn't stand on ceremony. She sat down and said with a smile, "Your strength, Daoist, is unmatched among the Innate God-Demons. I've long wanted to meet you. After all, blocking our full-force strike with just the Way of Five Elements—such talent is unparalleled!"

Beside her, Ye Xuan spoke, "It's nothing. I merely used a lingering trace of power. You, Daoist, have set up a supreme great formation with true Saint-level power."

"Daoist Houtu, coming to Spiritual Mountain to see me—do you wish to discuss the Dao?"

Hearing this, Daoist Houtu got straight to the point. "I came to seek you out. Discussing the Dao is only one aspect. Mainly, I want to ask if you're willing to join us in destroying the Heavenly Court. As for your demands, just speak them, and we'll do our best to satisfy them."

"I have set my ambition to be the first to attain the fruit of Sainthood. As for conquest, I will not participate."

"Once drawn into the Disaster Qi, countless years of cultivation are ruined. Ancestor Dragon, East King Duke—all are examples. Past lessons guide future conduct."

Seeing the calm expression on Ye Xuan's face, and that he truly hadn't allied with the Heavenly Court, Daoist Houtu showed a hint of a smile.

Ye Xuan had saved countless living beings in the West, so Daoist Houtu naturally felt some goodwill toward him. She didn't press further, choosing to trust him, and said directly.

"Good!"

"I am also somewhat curious about the mysteries of the Five Elements in your hands, Daoist. May I have the fortune to discuss the Dao with you?"

Seeing her take the initiative, Ye Xuan smiled.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Discussing the Dao with her could help him comprehend the Great Dao of Earth sooner, making rapid progress in this path. He certainly couldn't ask for more.

"The Great Dao of Earth, bearing virtue and nurturing all things..."

From Daoist Houtu's mouth came a Sound of the Great Dao, as she began to expound on the Great Dao of Earth.

In an instant, a look of enlightenment appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes.

Three thousand years later, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes. In his pupils, there seemed to be boundless continents rising and falling, with myriad mountains paying homage.

Within his Primordial Spirit, a Great Dao True Seed had been nurtured from countless profound yellow Great Dao Runes of Earth.

This Great Dao True Seed, in form, resembled the Buzhou Divine Mountain. Upon it was a map of the endless innate Spiritual Veins of the West. With every rotation, it gave a sense of bearing virtue and nurturing all things.

The thirty percent of Earth laws were now fully mastered. Moreover, from Daoist Houtu's words, there were additional insights into the Great Dao of Earth. Once integrated, he would grasp half of the Great Dao of Earth, surpassing even Houtu and Daoist Zhenyuanzi.

Seeing her stop, Ye Xuan also emitted a Sound of the Great Dao, expounding on the Great Dao of Earth, with a hint of the Five Elements' mystery.

"Wood is crooked and straight, Metal is reformative, Fire is flaming upward, Water is moistening downward, Earth is for sowing and reaping. The Great Dao of Earth also has the mystery of Yin and Yang. The Innate Ji Earth Qi, balanced and stored, can harmonize the forces of Yin and Yang..."

Hearing this, Daoist Houtu's face showed disbelief. She was the Earth Ancestral Witch!

Yet Ye Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of Earth surpassed her own?
