Chapter 5: The Praying Mantis Hunts the Cicada, Unaware of the Yellow Bird Behind

  Chapter 1: Pangu Opens Heaven and Changes Fate

  At this time, Xuan Wei Dao Ren was observing from a distance and could be said to be the only one among all the people present who remained relatively calm. After all, an onlooker sees clearly. Xuan Wei Dao Ren obviously felt that the emergence of the Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure should not have attracted so many destined individuals, and most cultivators were just ordinary. However, the appearance of a loose cultivator with a Golden Attribute technique was unexpected, especially when a figure from the Dragon Clan appeared, with movements as mysterious as they were ruthless, clearly not ordinary. The cultivators from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans couldn't withstand more than a few moves, obviously an quasi-Saint cultivator. He killed whoever he saw in the chaotic battle, and demonic energy permeated everywhere, clearly one of the two people involved in the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Great Calamity, the demonic path's contender Luo Hou.

  At this time, the Phoenix saw that the situation was unfavorable to their side, so they took the Phoenix tribe's cultivators and retreated. Just as the Dragon and Phoenix tribes had just ended their battle, the ancestor Qilin suddenly thought of taking advantage of the fire to loot, and snatched the Qinglian treasure flag and ran away. "Ancestor Qilin, you are despicable!" The Ancestor Dragon had already given up on the Phoenix and chased after the Ancestor Qilin, but the latter had been conserving his energy and was not someone the Ancestor Dragon could catch up to, especially since the Ancestor Dragon's magical powers had been greatly depleted. As a result, the Ancestor Qilin disappeared into thin air with just one flash of his body, and the other Kirin tribe cultivators were also nowhere to be seen. The Ancestor Qilin had successfully stirred up trouble and then ran away, which was indeed a shady move, but it could only be described as the fisherman reaping the benefits while the snipe and clam fought.

  Unfortunately, there is a saying that goes, "Mantis catches cicada, while oriole lurks behind." And Zǔ Qí Lín was the mantis catching the cicada. He had already been targeted by an oriole, which was Luo Hù. Luo Hù was cautious and wouldn't leave any flaws in his plan. So, after the Dragon and Phoenix clans' cultivators chased Zǔ Qí Lín away, he suddenly made a move to kill the remaining cultivators on the scene, dispersing the entire East Sea's spiritual energy. At the same time, he also used a superior divine technique unique to the Qilin clan, disrupting the deep-sea essence that was suppressing the East Sea's spiritual energy, causing the East Sea to fall into chaos. Then, Luo Hù followed the mark he had left on the Qing Lian treasure flag to track down Zǔ Qí Lín.

  In Luo Ye's calculations, the dragon tribe cultivators who came to this place later would only find that the deep sea energy suppressed in the East Sea Eye was disrupted by a unique divine method of the Qilin tribe. As a result, the twice-calculated dragon tribe would naturally trigger a war between the three tribes in anger, and Luo Ye could take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Ancestral Qilin, making the Qilin tribe leaderless and causing the Qilin tribe to be destroyed by the angry Dragon and Phoenix tribes. In this way, the original balance of the Three-Legged Tripod in the Primordial Chaos would become a scene of two tigers competing with each other. Finally, Luo Ye only needed to stir up a little trouble, and the Primordial Chaos would fall into chaos.

  Let's not mention the shocking things Luo Yu did after leaving Haiyan for now, and instead shift our attention back to the main character, Xuan Wei. After Luo Yu killed the Longzu cultivators and wandering cultivators, he disappeared into thin air. Not long after Luo Yu left, Xuan Wei also arrived at the East Sea's Haiyan to collect the remaining treasures from the Longzu cultivators and wandering cultivators. He then further disrupted the surrounding energy, before immediately flashing away.

  Through the mysteriousness of the wordless heavenly book, he subtly sensed the greatness of Daluo Immortal and should be even more cautious in his actions in the future great calamity. He was well aware that the Dragon and Phoenix Great Calamity had already fully unfolded, and the calamitous energy would have an increasingly terrible impact on cultivators. Heaven knows when some fool would rush to his face and try to kill him.

  Xuan Wei sighed and said, "The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth has begun, everyone is fighting for a thread of life, there's no right or wrong, just survival. If you don't kill others, they'll kill you, it's not that heaven and earth are cruel, but rather, heaven and earth treat all equally."

  Xuan Wei Daoist said that it was just a wave of his sleeve to speed up and leave the East Sea, but as soon as he arrived on land, his heart moved and he sensed that there were things around him with which he had a connection. However, having just been deceived by Luo Hui, he was slightly careless, so he cautiously approached the place indicated by his senses, and finally found a strange location shrouded in an array of mysterious energy.

  "This formation is transformed from the essence of the five elements, with the ability to change reality and illusion, making it a top-notch innate formation. It's truly rare.

  To say that the cultivation of mysterious formations is not ordinary, but it's also impossible to easily see through the entrance of an innate formation. However, the formation in front of us is based on the five elements, so it can't deceive me, who has been transformed from a strand of the original source of the five elements."

  Xuanwei thought to himself, and immediately took out the Tianhua Miaozhui flag to protect his body. The treasure flag rose into the air, with streams of green light flowing around it, and clusters of green lotus flowers blooming. Xuanwei moved freely through the pre-heavenly array method, using the resonance of the wordless heavenly book and the five elements' origin to instantly understand the reality of the large array. In a moment, he decided on a direction and headed forward. Before long, he entered the center of the large array and arrived at a mountain valley. The surrounding area was filled with a layer of colorful cloud mist, which clearly showed that the five elements' spiritual energy in this place had condensed to the point of becoming visible as clouds.

  The Daoist, Xuanwei, was overjoyed and knew that this place must have a special connection with him. He walked into the valley, where there was a mouth of spiritual spring water emitting five-colored light. The spring was surrounded by a thick aura of the five elements, and next to it stood a pine tree with deep roots and straight trunk, reaching high into the clouds, its crown resembling a precious pagoda, its branches like a green dragon. On the tree were 36 five-colored pinecones, shining brightly like 36 precious jewels hanging from the pagoda, radiating colorful light. The pinecones were covered in scales, each shaped like a shield with wings on both sides. The seeds inside emitted a fragrance that was both rare and refreshing, filling the air and touching the heart, making one's mouth water and entering the depths of the soul. As Xuanwei's soul was filled with this fragrance, he felt invigorated, as if his mind had been cleansed, and his spirit expanded greatly.

  "Is the Primordial Five Needles Pine loose?!" Xuan Wei was greatly shocked. This Primordial Five Needles Pine is a top-grade Primordial Spiritual Root, which blooms once every 27,000 years and bears fruit once every 27,000 years. After another 27,000 years, it ripens, taking a total of 81,000 years to produce 36 fruits, each containing 108 pine seeds, all of which are extraordinary products of the immortal world, mysterious and extraordinary. Thinking of this, Xuan Wei's long-absent Dao heart fluctuated ceaselessly, unable to calm down for a long time.

  "However, it is my destiny, I will take it." The Mystic Microcosm thought to himself, planning to take out the Wanli Mountain and River Map to collect all the spiritual springs and roots. Just as he was about to do so, he inadvertently discovered a rare spirit beast approaching him. He put away the map and picked up the Heavenly Flower Flag, ready for battle at any moment. As the Mystic Microcosm observed carefully, he found that this beast was a plum blossom deer, but unlike ordinary plum blossom deer, its body was filled with five-colored divine light. Under the illumination of the divine light, the five elements' light and splendor flashed continuously, divided into green, red, white, black, and yellow colors, like colorful silk threads draped on its body.

  As soon as the mysterious Daoist saw this deer, it seemed to have a sense of awareness, turned its head towards the Daoist, and showed warmth in its eyes. It let out a clear cry, and the five-colored silk strips on its body suddenly disappeared into its back, transforming into divine stripes that emitted a faint aura of five colors. Then, there was another burst of joyful cries as it ran to the side of the mysterious Daoist and nuzzled against his leg.

  The Xuanwei Daoist saw this and also relaxed his vigilance, squatting down to gently stroke the small deer's head, and he knew the deer's origin. The five-colored divine deer was born from the entanglement of the primordial five elements' essence, skilled in displaying the Five Elements' Annihilation Divine Light and other great divine abilities. Unfortunately, due to the entanglement of the primordial five elements' essence within its body, it suppressed its spiritual wisdom, unable to open up its spiritual intelligence; otherwise, the future Hongyuan would have had another powerful being.

  Xuanwei looked at the five-colored divine deer and couldn't help but think that his journey had already accumulated a lot of merit and good fortune. At this time, the chaos of the Hongyuan was fully unfolding, and it was the most chaotic moment. He thought it would be better to hide here and rely on the pre-heavenly array method and the power of the Pre-Heavenly Five Needle Pine to suppress the influence of the tribulation energy and evil energy. After cultivating for a period of time, when the chaos outside began to stabilize, his cultivation would also improve slightly. At that time, it would be safer to go out. With this thought, Xuanwei led the five-colored divine deer to the Pre-Heavenly Five Needle Pine to start cultivating.

  Xuanwei was protected by the pre-heavenly formation of Wu Zhen's Five Needles, and he could cultivate with peace of mind. However, outside, things were indeed chaotic. First, the Dragon Clan was furious for some reason and prepared to attack the Qilin Clan. Then, Zu Qilin suddenly disappeared without a trace. Taking advantage of the situation, the Phoenix Clan also launched an attack on the Qilin Clan. Finally, the Qilin Clan lost its rationality and defended its territory in all directions.

  In the desperate battle of the Qilin clan, although the Qilin clan was ultimately wiped out with all its masters killed, only a few bloodlines remained because they were scattered among various powerful sects as mounts and disciples. However, the Long and Feng clans, who had annihilated the Qilin clan, also suffered heavy losses. The Qilin clan's masters self-destructed their magical treasures and physical bodies before dying, greatly damaging the power of the Long and Feng clans.

  Because the Dragon Clan suffered more severe losses than the Phoenix Clan in the battle of annihilating the Qilin Clan, the advantage of having a large number of powerful dragons was lost. The strength of the two clans began to approach equilibrium, and both sides retreated to their own territories to lick their wounds and wait for an opportunity. As a result, the entire Honghuang fell into silence, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm. The two high-pressure zones of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans only needed a spark to ignite them.

  Ps1: The Pre-Heavenly Ten Great Spiritual Roots and Treasures have different sayings, this book does not specifically point out the Pre-Heavenly Ten Great Spiritual Roots and Treasures, but instead refers to them as the most well-known existence among the Honghuang Immortals. It doesn't necessarily represent the strongest power, but it is indeed the most famous one. If the reputation is not enough, it can't be called one of the Pre-Heavenly Ten Greats. For example, the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree should be a Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure in the Honghuang world, but in "The Buddha is the Tao" Chapter 212, "Treading on Auspicious Clouds and Traveling the Four Seas", Zhou Qing once said: "If Zhunti can use an ordinary Bodhi tree branch to refine the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree into a treasure, I, Zhou Qing, can also turn an ordinary bamboo stick into a more powerful magical instrument. Since I am now cultivating my own self-created technique, the treasure should also be self-created." Although this bamboo stick is far from the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree, it will eventually surpass it.

  Let's take a middle ground and determine the origin of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree: The Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree was created by combining Zhunti's original Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Root, the Western Golden Bodhi Tree, with the Pre-Heavenly Seven Treasures. It is Zhunti's proof of attainment as a Daoist and his magical instrument.

  PS: The above is just a joke, everyone just laugh and don't take it seriously??????
