Chapter 158 Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag
The more the Yin-Yang Taoist deduced, the more certain he became.
Zhen Yuanzi follows the way of the earth, using the earth as his foundation, but isolated yang cannot produce life, and isolated yin cannot grow.
If one can obtain the assistance of the Water Element Treasure, with the water and soil complementing each other and yin and yang in harmony, one's cultivation will surely reach a higher level.
"This item is probably even more important to him than some weapons of war!"
"The Yin-Yang Daoist is almost certain that this Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag is a gift that Zhen Yuanzi will find hard to refuse at this stage!"
This thing seemed to be born to belong to him, to gather the five directions from it, and he himself was the best candidate to deliver this crucial link!
So, what's the price?
The Yin-Yang Taoist quickly calmed down and made a more realistic assessment.
"This flag is good, but for me, it is somewhat tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away."
"He looked inward and saw the Yin and Yang energies flowing within his body, evolving into endless mysteries."
"I possess the innate treasure Taiji Diagram to protect me. When it is unfolded, the earth, water, fire, and wind are all stabilized, while the yin and yang and the five elements are in disarray. It is the most supreme defensive and suppressive treasure in the primordial world. The defensive power of the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag is merely icing on the cake for me, overlapping but of little use."
The Taiji Diagram is one of the three treasures created by the creation of the world, ranking among the supreme innate treasures, and its power far surpasses that of the Five Banners of the Primordial Heaven.
Since obtaining this treasure, the Yin-Yang Taoist has comprehended it for countless eons, and has already fully unleashed its power.
With the Tai Chi diagram in hand, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag does indeed seem rather useless.
"In the realm of offense and conquest, my innate supreme spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Sword, combines with my other swords, splitting light and shadow, severing Yin and Yang, possessing boundless power, and perfectly aligning with my Great Dao."
He shook his head slightly, and with a thought, the yin and yang energies in his body naturally transformed into two sword lights, one black and one white, which slowly swirled within his dantian.
These two sword lights were his natal magic weapons, which accompanied him at birth and were connected to his mind and spirit, making them as easy to use as his own limbs.
In comparison, although the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag is also a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, it is ultimately not in harmony with his Dao.
"As for gathering all five flags... how easy is that?" The Yin-Yang Taoist sighed softly and continued his deduction.
"The apricot-yellow flag is in Zhen Yuanzi's hands, while the blue lotus-colored flag is in the west, its aura obscure; "
The plain-colored cloud banner has disappeared without a trace, perhaps in the hands of someone favored by Heaven.
The Southern Flame Banner is rumored to be connected to the Phoenix Clan, but its exact whereabouts are unknown. Forcibly pursuing it would be a waste of energy and karma, a losing proposition.
As the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, he was most aware of the power of cause and effect.
At their level, every karmic connection they form requires immense effort to resolve.
If we were to forcibly gather all five flags, we would likely incur countless karmic consequences in the primordial world, ultimately resulting in more harm than good.
"Since I cannot gather the complete set, a single Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag offers only limited improvement to my strength. Rather than letting it gather dust in the treasure vault, I would rather use this precious treasure to gain the friendship of a powerful ally with boundless potential and compatible paths!"
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Yin-Yang Taoist, and he made up his mind.
"Providing help in times of need is far better than adding flowers to brocade." The Yin-Yang Taoist was once again convinced of this belief.
"Now the three races are powerful, Rahu is eyeing them like a tiger, Hongjun is profound and mysterious, and Yangmei is ethereal."
Although Zhen Yuanzi is powerful, his foundation is newly established and his peripheral forces are just beginning to take shape, so he needs allies.
Now is the perfect time to bring generous gifts to express sincerity in forming an alliance.
If we wait until the five flags are gathered on their own, or until the earth is fully formed and their power shakes the primordial world, then we can establish an alliance with them. The significance of that would be entirely different.
"6
He even considered the possibility that Zhen Yuanzi might refuse, but the chances were extremely slim.
Such a precious treasure, such a gift that perfectly suits his path and needs, coupled with his own humble attitude and clear intention to form an alliance, would leave Zhen Yuanzi with no reason to refuse, provided he had a long-term vision. At most, he might deliberate on the specific terms of the alliance.
"This plan is feasible!" The Yin-Yang Taoist made up his mind completely.
Without further hesitation, he sent a faint Yin-Yang Dao pattern flying out from his sleeve and disappearing into the void. This was to send a message back to his Daoist temple, instructing the attendant left behind to retrieve and prepare the treasured Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.
Although he did not carry the flag with him, with his supernatural powers, he had the means to retrieve objects remotely whenever he thought of them. He could summon it when he was close to Longevity Mountain to avoid leaking his aura along the way and causing unnecessary trouble.
Having settled the most crucial step, the Yin-Yang Daoist felt much more at ease, as if the road ahead had suddenly become clear.
The slight stagnation and oppression brought about by the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have dissipated considerably due to this clear plan.
By following the natural order, cultivating positive relationships, and seizing opportunities within this trend, the path becomes increasingly clear.
He no longer deliberately concealed his aura, but instead increased his speed by three points. Yin and Yang energies circulated around him, drawing a faint, almost imperceptible trail of light in the void.
He wanted Zhen Yuanzi to sense his arrival in advance, to show openness rather than appearing abruptly and suspiciously.
As he drew closer to the east, the landscape of the primordial land became increasingly clear in his Daoist perception.
Through the barrier of the void, he could "see" the vast, primordial land below, with its magnificent mountains and rivers, abundant spiritual energy, but also turbulent undercurrents.
In his Daoist perception, at the boundary of the three races' territories, the aura of calamity surged like an undercurrent.
Although temporarily suppressed due to the establishment of the Heavenly Order, those subtle frictions and local conflicts are still like sparks, constantly accumulating destructive power.
In the eastern seas, dragons roam, their scales gleaming and their might overwhelming.
Dragons would occasionally leap from the water, creating towering waves and demonstrating the dragon race's absolute dominance over the four seas. Yet, within that vast aquatic energy lay a touch of domineering aggression.
In the southern immortal volcano, the Phoenix Clan soars, their feathers dazzling, surrounded by divine fire.
After Yuan Feng swore to rule the sky on behalf of Heaven, the Phoenix Clan's fortune soared to its zenith. However, within that sacred flame of rebirth lay a hint of unassailable arrogance.
In the central land, a qilin walks, auspicious energy pervades, and the way of benevolence and virtue is proclaimed.
After the First Qilin swore to govern the primordial land, the Qilin clan's fortune became connected to the earth, appearing incredibly stable. However, within that heavy essence of the Earth element, there was also a hint of xenophobic conservatism.
The domineering nature of the Dragon Clan, the arrogance of the Phoenix Clan, and the seemingly benevolent but actually xenophobic nature of the Qilin Clan are all amplified in this increasingly tense situation.
Although the three races maintain peace on the surface, friction between them is increasing behind the scenes.
Small-scale conflicts have been occurring frequently in the border area. Although they are quickly suppressed by their respective leaders, the atmosphere of tension and hostility is growing stronger.
"A great calamity is about to begin, and no one can remain unscathed." The Yin-Yang Daoist sighed inwardly, becoming even more determined to form an alliance with Zhen Yuanzi.
The pure land of Wanshou Mountain, protected by the Earth Book, may become a rare haven in the face of future calamities, and also an excellent base for observing the situation and seizing opportunities.
His Daoist thoughts continued to extend, crossing the boundaries of the three races' forces, and finally landed on the Longevity Mountain Range, which was shrouded in the hazy essence of the Earth element.
This sight moved the Yin-Yang Taoist slightly.
In his perception, a large number of creatures with mixed auras but full of vitality had recently gathered in the area surrounding Longevity Mountain.
There are running beasts, birds perched on branches, and plant spirits breathing in and out spiritual energy.
Although their cultivation levels are generally not high, most are still at the Celestial Immortal or True Immortal level, and there are very few Golden Immortals.
However, the order was well maintained, guided and constrained by a gentle yet firm essence of Earth, a faint imperial dragon aura, and the true water aura of the Mysterious Netherworld.
These creatures were clearly newly arrived, as evidenced by the traces of Buzhou Mountain they still carried.
It must have been after Zhen Yuanzi preached that he moved all the beings who listened to his teachings to this place.
