Hongjun arrived before the Saints, his expression blank.
He merely glanced around, seemingly still searching for Lin Yang's whereabouts.
However, in the end, Hongjun found nothing, as the chaos pearl could conceal all Heavenly Secrets.
Even Heavenly Dao could not discover it.
Moreover, this was within Chaos, and if the chaos pearl wanted to leave, Hongjun was helpless.
"How dare you enter this Chaos Five Elements Great Array?" Hongjun asked the Saints.
The Saints hesitated for a moment, then Laozi bravely said, "Disciple thought it was the Innate Five Elements Great Array."
"Teacher, what is the Chaos Five Elements Great Array?" Tongtian asked with some curiosity.
Hongjun did not answer him immediately.
Instead, he waved his large hand, and with a boom, the Saints felt a vast power descend.
This was Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao rumbled, and surging Heavenly Dao power continuously emerged, gradually condensing into a figure.
It was Nuwa.
She had been resurrected by Hongjun.
As long as Heavenly Dao does not perish, Saints do not die.
That was all.
"Disciple greets Teacher, thank you, Teacher." After Nuwa was resurrected, she immediately thanked Hongjun.
At this moment, Hongjun said, "The Innate Five Elements Great Array is set up with the Innate Five Directions Flags; this array can be compared to your Zhuxian Sword Formation."
"Although the Innate Five Elements Great Array is strong, it is easier to break if all five of you Saints enter the array together."
"However, this array is not the Innate Five Elements Great Array, but the Chaos Five Elements Great Array."
"On the basis of the Innate Five Elements Great Array, this person added another treasure, which led to its evolution into the Chaos Five Elements Great Array."
"The Chaos Five Elements Great Array possesses immense power; if I had not appeared this time and startled him away, you would all have likely died within the array."
The Saints couldn't help but break out in cold sweat and thanked Hongjun again.
Hongjun said no more and quickly departed after resurrecting Nuwa.
The Saints were helpless and could only leave individually.
Meanwhile, Lin Yang, before Hongjun arrived, had used the chaos pearl to escape.
He had now returned to the Great Desolation.
Within the chaos pearl, Lin Yang's Cultivation began to plummet rapidly, and the Celestial Venerable Da Luo Dao Fruit gradually became illusory.
He was falling from the Realm of Celestial Venerable Da Luo.
Even the magical power within his body was rapidly receding.
"I really can't bear to part with it!" Lin Yang said reluctantly.
If one has never possessed it, one would not know how good the Celestial Venerable Da Luo Realm is.
It was a pity that this was only temporarily attached to him by the System.
As soon as the battle ended, the System withdrew it.
His Realm, Dao Fruit, Cultivation, magical power, and his mastery of the Great Dao of Five Elements Law were also disappearing.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yang was reverted to his original state.
He was still just a Late Stage Quasi-Saint.
"Oh well, oh well, one day, I will Break through to Celestial Venerable Da Luo on my own!"
Lin Yang calmed down and, controlling the chaos pearl, flew into the Sun Star.
Now that he possessed the chaos pearl, it was equivalent to carrying a Heavenly Secret scrambler with him.
He no longer had to hide in Mount Buzhou as he did before.
And Lin Yang's first stop was the Sun Star.
"Wood within fire, truly formidable."
Deep within the Sun Star, in Tanggu, Lin Yang observed the Fusang Tree and couldn't help but praise it.
This Spiritual Root could be said to be unique, growing on the Sun Star and capable of absorbing Solar True Fire.
One must know that fire naturally counters wood; besides the Fusang Tree, there was no other tree in the world that could grow amidst a great fire.
But the Fusang Tree managed to do it.
"This is Reverse Five Elements!" Lin Yang murmured to himself with a sudden realization.
Originally, according to the Five Elements theory, fire counters wood, but with the Fusang Tree, the Five Elements were reversed.
Fire no longer countered wood but instead became fire generating wood.
If the Five Elements are Metal counters Wood, Wood counters Earth, Earth counters Water, Water counters Fire, and Fire counters Metal.
Then Reverse Five Elements would be Wood counters Metal, Earth counters Wood, Water counters Earth, Fire counters Water, and Metal counters Fire.
It was even more complex, like the Fusang Tree, where wood counters fire, and wood grows within fire, and so on.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang immediately fell into an Epiphany.
All sorts of principles related to the Five Elements came flooding in.
In a flash, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Yang finally awoke, and Five-Colored light flowed within his eyes.
He had gained much in the Great Dao of Five Elements.
To Lin Yang's eyes, the Five Elements were no longer just Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but encompassed much more, covering Heaven and Earth, a principle of transformation between substances.
"Boom!"
Behind Lin Yang, Five-Colored Divine Light flew out, with red, green, yellow, white, and black light continuously flowing.
It was clearly different from before.
The Five Elements seemed to transform into each other, and the five colors seemed to merge into one.
Lin Yang's thoughts stirred.
The red Fire Element Divine Light, like a whale swallowing, furiously devoured the Solar True Fire.
The Fire Element Divine Light grew thicker and thicker, its red color becoming richer, gradually overshadowing the other four-colored, four-element Divine Light.
But at this very moment, suddenly, a part of the Fire Element Divine Light began to flow towards the other four-element Divine Light.
The other green, yellow, white, and black colors also brightened.
The Five Elements re-established a state of balance.
"Five Elements generating each other, Five Elements countering each other, Five Elements complementing each other; I have finally reached this step."
Lin Yang controlled the Five-Colored Divine Light and changed it again; the red, green, yellow, white, and black Five-Colored Divine Light simultaneously absorbed Solar True Fire.
They absorbed Solar True Fire to strengthen themselves, without needing to go through the transformation of the Fire Element Divine Light.
This was something completely impossible in the eyes of others.
But with Lin Yang having comprehended the essence of the Great Dao of Five Elements, this situation truly happened.
Whether it was Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth, in Lin Yang's eyes, they were all a type of substance.
And since they were substances, they could be transformed.
Fire generating fire, fire generating wood, fire generating metal, fire generating earth, fire generating water.
This was precisely the principle.
"What a worry!"
Lin Yang sighed.
Suddenly, he found that his talent in the Great Dao of Five Elements seemed to have become very, very strong.
If he were to follow the Great Dao of Five Elements, perhaps he could truly attain the Dao through the Five Elements!
"But never mind, although the Five Elements are good, they are only a part of my Great Dao of Longevity."
"I cannot be fickle."
Lin Yang took a step, and immediately, he entered the Sun Star's core.
Within this star core, two figures were seen using the Solar True Fire to refine their bodies.
These were Lin Yang's two Ancestor Witch Incarnations—the Ancestor of Space Witch Pan Xuan and the Ancestor of Earth Witch Pan Huang.
"Greetings, Honored Self!" The two Ancestor Witch Incarnations greeted Lin Yang.
Lin Yang nodded, "You two continue your Cultivation, I'll also lie down here for a bit!"
With that, Lin Yang's form changed, and his true body manifested: a giant vine appeared within the star core.
As soon as the Gourd Vine appeared, it began to sizzle and smoke, as if it were about to be scorched by the great fire.
However, at this moment, Five-Colored Divine Light emerged from the Gourd Vine, enveloping it.
