Chapter 1 The so-called Five Elements

The so-called Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but they are more than just metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Water represents moistening, fire represents destruction, metal represents gathering, wood represents growth, and earth represents fusion. This is the law of the evolution of all things, and the principle of the change of Yin and Yang.

Taiji (the supreme ultimate) embraces Yin and Yang, possessing both. The Five Elements are mutually generating and restraining. The generation of the Five Elements is the Yang of Taiji, and the restraint of the Five Elements is the Yin of Taiji.

One Yin and one Yang, changes in the Five Elements, that's how it is.

If the Five Elements Divine Light goes a step further, it must be the two energies of Yin and Yang, or even the Taiji Dao Light.

This Five-Colored Divine Light is An Qisheng's understanding of the process of Yin and Yang evolution.

The so-called 'brushing away everything' is nothing more than the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, and the method of Yin and Yang change.

Buzz~

A fair hand stretched across the sky, and between the opening and closing of five fingers, divine lights flowed down into the void. The first to meet it was a three-legged, two-eared cauldron, bronze in color but with a hint of dark gold.

As the cauldron's aura surged, it seemed to sense something, constantly impacting against the Five-Colored Divine Light.

An Qisheng's five fingers rose and fell, extinguished and struck, not like using supernatural powers, but more like playing an unprecedented melody.

But what shocked everyone who saw this scene was.

With just the suppression of five fingers and the circulation of five colors, the bronze cauldron seemed to be pressed down by countless mountains and rivers, staggering like a drunkard, losing its power to resist.

It was 'brushed' into the divine light flowing with five colors!

"Vacuum Cauldron!"

A direct disciple of the Vacuum Dao (Vacuum Path) had eyes wide open, wishing he could rush into the Kings' Platform Cave Heaven.

The Vacuum Cauldron is one of the 'Great and Small Vacuum King Cauldrons' of the Vacuum Dao, and is of great importance, but he never expected it to be 'brushed' away!

"Ah! My sect's Myriad Manifestations Diagram!"

A direct disciple of Li Luan Nunnery also cried out, resentment and anger intertwined.

The 'Yuan Yang Daoist' didn't stop once he made a move. After brushing away the Vacuum Cauldron, he went with the flow and brushed away their sect's Myriad Manifestations Diagram as well!

"You dare!"

High in the sky, the Li Luan Sect Leader was forced back a step by the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor, a flush flashed across her face, and her anger erupted.

Li Luan Nunnery doesn't have the foundation of Taiyi Gate or Myriad Dharma Tower. This Myriad Manifestations Diagram is one of her accompanying weapons!

"What wouldn't I dare?!"

The Heavenly Cauldron Emperor laughed wildly, resisting the attacks of the two Sect Leaders, a punch that shook the void had already crossed tens of thousands of miles, bringing the Li Luan Sect Leader into the circle as well:

"Seeing you so shocked and angry, this Emperor is extremely happy!"

There were hideous wounds on the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor's tyrannical physique, but he didn't care at all, becoming more and more fanatical in battle, and more and more joyous as he fought.

On the contrary, a group of Sect Leaders, including Qian Shisi and the Taiyi Gate Master, were extremely uncomfortable.

They all acknowledged that the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor was the number one person in the world, but it was naturally impossible for ten of them to be unable to defeat him alone.

It's just that their status is so lofty, and when the great changes in the world come, they are all qualified to be conferred marquises, or even kings.

Where would they want to die with him?

No one was willing to fight the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor to the death in exchange for one life.

As a result, an incredible record of one person overwhelming ten was created.

But this was destined not to last long.

Finally, with a cold snort from the Taiyi Gate Master, the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor was finally repelled for the first time under the shock of divine weapons.

But he looked down.

In a fleeting glimpse, he happened to see the 'Yuan Yang Daoist' standing on the Heavenly Stairway in the void of the Kings' Platform Cave Heaven, slowly withdrawing his hand.

Between his divine light-filled fingers, he was pinching the 'Mount Sumeru of Gold', one of the nine true form sources of Taiyi Gate.

This marquis-level spiritual treasure that once aroused so much curiosity in him.

At this time, he let it play, struggling and wailing, but to no avail.

Huff huff~

An Qisheng pinched Mount Sumeru of Gold, his expression indifferent, slightly raising his eyes. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate the void, seeing the Taiyi Gate Master looking down.

Twelve marquis-level treasures had already fallen into his hands.

In the cave heaven, apart from a few trembling direct disciples of various sects, there was no one else.

"Asking Heaven Sword, Heavenly River Whip, Myriad Manifestations Diagram, Vacuum Cauldron, Mount Sumeru of Gold... All twelve marquis-level treasures have been taken by him!"

"What exactly is that Five-Colored Divine Light? Even if no one is in charge, that's still a marquis-level spiritual treasure!"

"Yuan Yang Daoist, Yuan Yang Daoist! Who exactly is this person?"

Heaven's Pride City, and even the Heavenly Cauldron Kingdom, and those spying from various places in Dongzhou were all shaken by it.

There were also many who gloated over it, and naturally some people were very happy to see the people of the Ten Great Sects deflated.

"Little Gold!"

Mo Baobao exclaimed, his voice trembling, full of reluctance.

"That supernatural power..."

Lan Shuixian slowly exhaled a long breath. The Heavenly River Whip he was in charge of was also suppressed by the 'Yuan Yang Daoist'.

He also felt a touch of unreality in his heart.

Although marquis-level spiritual treasures can only fully recover and show their edge in the hands of a Guiyi (Return to One) expert, marquis-level spiritual treasures are so powerful.

Even if they are not fully recovered, they are enough to make great cultivators change color.

To be suppressed like this, he still couldn't calm down.

If he was like this, then Xue Tianfeng, Meng Xiantian, Wu Erlang, Fa Wushe and other direct disciples would naturally be even more so.

At this time, looking at An Qisheng standing at the end of the Heavenly Stairway, their expressions were complicated, but they were all silent.

Under this person's brilliance, they had all become the most insignificant backgrounds in this Kings' Platform, or even just one of them.

"How long has it been? Unbelievable, unbelievable."

Wu Erlang was empty-handed, but he didn't care at all about the Halberd of Heaven that was suppressed by An Qisheng. His eyes were burning like flames, and his body trembled with excitement:

"The great era, the great era is really coming! With such talent and aptitude, even the ancient Sage Emperors were no more than this, right?"

He deeply remembered that when he first met several years ago, this Yuan Yang Daoist was certainly powerful, but it seemed that he was not much different from himself.

But at this time, the gap between the two had already become worlds apart. This is definitely not something that can be explained by chance encounters.

There is no doubt that this Yuan Yang Daoist is very likely to possess one of the legendary physiques. Otherwise, it would be impossible to progress so much.

And the emergence of such a physique undoubtedly indicates that the great era predicted by the Saint Lord of the Underworld Moon is about to come.

"Five Elements, Five Colors, Five Directions Cave Heaven, this kind of supernatural power..."

In a small teahouse somewhere in Heaven's Pride City, the eyes in the shadows of the hooded man flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was deducing something.

"Could it be him?"

He muttered to himself softly, but he had already disappeared like a bubble under the sun in the terrified eyes of the teahouse owner.

"Little brother he..."

Yuan Duxiu took a deep breath and barely calmed down.

He still had countless questions in his heart, but he was still full of joy. He was naturally very happy that his little brother had achieved such success.

But there was also a hint of worry.

Although the Ten Great Sects' plan to suppress the Kings' Platform had not failed thanks to the suppression of the Gate of Myriad Wonders, he had still completely offended several major sects.

"My Little Gold."

Mo Baobao jumped up and down, his heart aching as if he was about to cry, but seeing An Qisheng's powerful aura, how dared he go up?

After turning around a few times, he immediately looked at Yuan Duxiu:

"Brother Yuan, we saved you when you fainted before..."

Yuan Duxiu came back to his senses.

With just one glance, he saw through Mo Baobao's thoughts, and immediately shook his head: "I will repay your kindness."

He naturally knew what Mo Baobao wanted to say.

But he would not interfere in his little brother's affairs at all, not to mention that there was no slightest bit of mercy when Mount Sumeru of Gold was used to smash people. Now that it has been suppressed, he wants to take it back.

This is unreasonable.

"Brother Yuan."

Mo Baobao looked at Yuan Duxiu pitifully. He himself didn't want to attack that 'Yuan Yang Daoist' at all, but he couldn't control Mount Sumeru of Gold.

Yuan Duxiu turned his head away and didn't look at him.

With a movement of his body, he activated his spirit form and landed on the Heavenly Stairway again, took a deep breath, and stepped up.

Mo Baobao still wanted to say something, but Lan Shuixian had already shaken his head: "If you fail to kill someone and get suppressed, whether it's a person or a treasure, you have to admit defeat.

If you have the ability to snatch it back, that's your ability. If you can't, there's no reason to ask someone to return it for nothing."

As he said that, he also landed on the Heavenly Stairway.

But he had no intention of climbing, but sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind and blood, and slowly recovered his vitality.

In the previous collisions, even this cave heaven was completely torn apart, and even with the protection of marquis-level spiritual treasures, their consumption was also extremely large.

Not only Lan Shuixian, but Xue Tianfeng, Meng Xiantian, and others also fell down one after another, sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Stairway. They couldn't sense what was happening outside.

But they were very clear that earth-shattering collisions must be happening outside.

Perhaps the battle between that Heavenly Cauldron Emperor and the Sect Leaders had already begun.

Before the collision ends, or before a winner is decided, they will not be able to get out unless they die.

And even with a stand-in, who would want to die once?

Naturally, even madmen like Wu Erlang had no intention of going to the Heavenly Stairway at this time to provoke that Yuan Yang Daoist.

Huff huff~

The closer Yuan Duxiu got to the end of the Heavenly Stairway, the more unspeakable the shock in his heart became.

He could deeply sense the Dao蕴 (Dao charm) and laws that had not yet dissipated in the void, and the vast and invincible aura made his mind sway.

He had had this feeling before, but that was when he met Qian Shisi, the Sect Leader of the Myriad Dharma Tower.

Little brother, has he already shattered the vacuum?

He suppressed the shock in his heart and stepped onto the top of the Heavenly Stairway.

The moment he reached the top, he saw An Qisheng standing at the end of the Heavenly Stairway with his hands behind his back, as if looking into the extremely distant places.

Seeing his little brother again, the many distracting thoughts in his heart had disappeared.

An invisible aura penetrated deep into his bones and soul, smoothing out all the shocks in his heart.

His heart was warm.

This was his only relative in the world.

"Lin Yanlong died just like that, it was a bit of a waste."

An Qisheng said softly, with his back to Yuan Duxiu.

He had no intention of killing Lin Yanlong. Killing Lin Yanbai was only because this person's calculations back and forth annoyed him.

However, since he had already bumped into him, he naturally had no intention of leaving him to Yuan Duxiu to kill.

Nor was it necessary.

Just a Lin Yanlong, there was no need to kill him specifically, but if he bumped into him, he would be killed.

"It's the same whether you or I kill him."

Yuan Duxiu shook his head, not caring.

He could avenge his family himself, and his little brother could too.

He stepped forward two steps and saw the twelve marquis-level treasures placed on the side of the Heavenly Stairway. Including Mount Sumeru of Gold, all twelve spiritual treasures had lost their spiritual light.

Like dead objects, they lost their movement.

"You can have whichever one you like."

An Qisheng's eyes opened and closed, peering through the deep void.

Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see the gate of the 'Gate of Myriad Wonders' that stood on the ground and reached the sky, heavy enough to suppress hundreds of cave heavens on the Kings' Platform.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders is said to be a Supreme Treasure of Heavenly Reverence obtained by the founder of Taiyi Gate from an ancient ruin. It is said to be a Supreme Treasure left by the ancient mighty figure, Heavenly Reverence Taiyi.

Taiyi Gate got its name from this.

Supreme Treasures of Heavenly Reverence cannot be easily driven. Compared with Supreme Treasures of Heavenly Reverence, even those who have condensed cave heavens, or even shattered the vacuum, are too insignificant.

It is like a mortal child exhaling to blow away the sun, moon, and stars. How easy is it to shake?

He could use the Five-Colored Divine Light to take away many marquis-level spiritual treasures, but he did not try whether he could shake the phantom of this Supreme Treasure of Heavenly Reverence.

Because there was no need at all, it was bound to be impossible to shake.

However, such a treasure, even if it is just a wisp of insignificant shadow, contains deep Dao蕴 (Dao charm) and laws. If there is a chance, one can even comprehend the inheritance of the technique from it, just like the founder of Taiyi Gate.

An Qisheng naturally believed that he had this 'chance'.

"These are your spoils of war, I can't take them."

Yuan Duxiu shook his head.

Who doesn't want a marquis-level spiritual treasure?

Yuan Duxiu was naturally no exception, but he was very clear that even in the Ten Great Sects, only the Sect Leader, the Millennium First Direct Disciple, a few elders, and the Supreme Elders were qualified to be in charge.

Even if he was given one, he would not be able to keep it.

He had no attachment to the marquis-level spiritual treasure, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes as he looked at An Qisheng.

But just as he was about to speak, An Qisheng's voice came again:

"The Great Sun Myriad Dragons Fist, you have to practice diligently. I heard that there is a Heavenly Dragon coiled above the Myriad Dharma Dragon Tower. You can watch more, contemplate more, and comprehend its form, its meaning, its soul..."

He was clear-minded and naturally knew what Yuan Duxiu wanted to say.

But he never took risks in his actions, and was always the most cautious. Even the seemingly dangerous scene before had actually been deduced thousands or tens of thousands of times in his dreams.

He naturally had his considerations in taking action this time.

Dongzhou has been controlled by the Ten Great Sects and the Three Great Holy Lands for hundreds of thousands of years. For such a long time, their rule has long been deeply rooted.

Rising up without joining them will naturally attract suppression and hostility.

Regardless of whether you have really offended them, it is the same.

"I don't plan to go back to the Myriad Dharma Tower."

Yuan Duxiu shook his head again.

He was very clear that after today, it was impossible to return to the Myriad Dharma Tower. Not only the Myriad Dharma Tower, but I'm afraid other sects would also regard him as an enemy.

Unless...

"You have to go back, you still have to go back."

An Qisheng looked into the distance, his expression slightly dignified. Above the sky outside the Kings' Platform, the battle was fierce.

After suffering an injury, the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor had already spilled blood in the sky, and it seemed that the battle was about to come to an end.

Speaking of this, An Qisheng changed the subject:

"I heard that you have a Dao companion, and you are very likely to become the next Millennium First Direct Disciple of the Myriad Dharma Tower..."

Yuan Duxiu opened his mouth, and two streams of turbid air spewed out of his nostrils:

"...Yes."
