Chapter 1334: Creation of Heaven and Earth

Nowadays, Zhang Shen’s Immortal Dao is still incomplete; for him, creating a world is difficult, far from having the power to do so. But Zhang Shen has a Golden Finger, doesn’t he?

Coupled with the shortcut provided by the Queen Mother, Zhang Shen has just a glimmer of hope for creating a world.

He doesn’t need to develop the entire chaos; he only needs to create a void within the chaos and then fill it with the Authority of the Five Elements to transform it. In due time, a small world naturally emerges.

Zhang Shen thought of the Five Directions Banner. If he could gather the Five Directions Banner, combined with the power of the Authority of the Five Elements and the Golden Scissors, it would be enough to help him create a small space complete with the Five Elements, which would then evolve into a whole small world.

“Madam, may I borrow the Five Directions Banner?” Zhang Shen asked the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn’t reply, but suddenly five streams of light flashed from all directions of heaven and earth, entering Zhang Shen’s room and hovering in front of him—it was indeed the Five Directions Banner.

The Five Directions Banner originally belonged to the Queen Mother, although during the later catastrophic events of heaven and earth, it was scattered. Now that the Queen Mother has revived, reclaiming the Five Directions Banner is just a matter of thought.

White Lotus Sect

Flood Banner

The Master of the Flood Banner was cultivating Divine Techniques. Beside him, the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner shimmered with divine light, empowering his Water Element power. As his cultivation approached a peak state, suddenly he saw the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner flash and unexpectedly abandon Chen Zhifei to turn into a stream of light.

“My treasure!” Chen Zhifei was shocked and dismayed to see his protective supreme treasure fly away. He quickly turned into a stream of light to chase after it, but how could his flying speed match that of the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner?

He just flew for a brief moment, but the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner had already vanished.

“Not good, losing the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner might make my position in the sect less stable than before. The Hall Master’s position is likely in jeopardy, I must prevent anyone from knowing that I lost the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner!” Chen Zhifei stood there with a sullen expression, his eyes staring into the distance, filled with a murderous look:

“No matter where the Profound Yuan Water Control Banner goes, I must at all costs recover it.”

Looking at the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner flying away, Chen Zhifei’s eyes were clouded with shadows and an unspeakable apprehension. The other party could forcibly take away the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner without allowing him any time to react, surpassing his imagination of strength. Facing such a powerful being, if he challenges them directly, it means his death—how could he have the means to reclaim it?

Although he resents it, muttering about retrieving the Northern Profound Yuan Water Control Banner, he has decided in his heart to stop pursuing the matter, fearing it might lead to grave consequences.

He felt silent bitterness for this inexplicable loss, yet in spite of the oppressive feeling, he could not act on it. After a moment, his eyes shifted: “The Innate Water God is coveting my Profound Yuan Water Control Banner. Perhaps, I can lead the Innate Water God into the fray and let them take the fall.”

With this thought in mind, Chen Zhifei’s figure vanished from the spot.

At this moment, all the flags representing the Innate Five Elements within the White Lotus Sect Five Elements Banner abruptly disappeared in an instant, shocking the five Great Banner Masters of the White Lotus Sect, who chose unanimously to swallow their anger and suppress the news, for once losing their protective magical artifacts, many in the shadows would covet their positions with possible trickery from allies.

Zhang Family

Zhang Shen knew nothing of the White Lotus Sect’s upheaval, nor that the Innate Five Directions Banner was obtained by the White Lotus Sect. Zhang Shen quietly stared at the Five Directions Banner suspended in front of him, marveling at the mighty power of the Queen Mother, such an unimaginable existence at the Primordial level.

With a thought emerging from Zhang Shen’s mind, the Authority of the Five Elements was deployed, instantly taking control of the Five Directions Banner. The banner was seized by Zhang Shen, falling into his grasp.

Zhang Shen wields the Authority of the Five Elements, and the Innate Five Elements Banner was born to respond to the innate Five Elements—a Spiritual Treasure fitting into Zhang Shen’s control. As long as the Five Directions Banner is in his hands, even the Queen Mother, the owner of the Five Directions Banner, can’t compete with Zhang Shen for authority.

As Zhang Shen commands the Five Directions Banner, the Five-Colored Divine Light behind him slightly vibrates, sensing the birth of the connection with the Five Directions Banner. Then, the Five Directions Banner transforms into five streams of light, merging with the Five-Colored Divine Light on Zhang Shen’s back. Under the coordination of the Authority of the Five Elements, in just a day, the two completely fused. The Power of the Five Elements interweaves, expanding a hazy, multicolored space behind Zhang Shen. This multicolored space, entirely composed of the Five Elements, devours the Five Elements Energy between heaven and earth as soon as it forms.

“This is a naturally born dimension space seed! Quickly throw it into the small chaos, watering and nurturing it with the Qi of Chaos,” the Queen Mother’s urgent voice echoed beside Zhang Shen’s ear.

Zhang Shen hurriedly sent the multicolored space behind him into the chaos of the small world. As soon as the space drops into the chaos, it begins a frenzy of energy absorption and decomposition from the chaos.

Chaos is one; one bears two, two becomes yin and yang.

Yin and yang rotate smoothly, potentially transforming into Five Elements, while Five Elements reverse into yin and yang.

It can be said that Yin Yang is the Five Elements, and the Five Elements are Yin Yang; they are just manifested in different forms.

That small world of Five Elements is rooted in the Five Directions Banner, swallowing the power of chaos in the midst of chaos, it fundamentally does not require the transformation of Yin Yang, and can directly rely on the Five Elements Banner to swallow the energy of Yin Yang Qi.

One sees that the ethereal and hazy Five Elements world decomposes chaos energy, swiftly forming a layer of the membrane of heaven and earth, and within the membrane, vast energy churns, space fluctuates, and the barrier of heaven and earth slowly forms.

Accompanying the formation of the membrane, the condensation of the barrier of the world, the barrier can swallow the power of chaos, construct the Five Elements foundation of the small world, forming the framework of the small world.

It does not require the division of clarity and turbidity, directly using the power of chaos to condense the earth, using the power of chaos to condense the sun, moon, and stars.

Zhang Chen’s Authority of the Five Elements is in motion, constantly influencing the formation of the world. Along with the subtle influence of its Authority of the Five Elements, the small world gradually fully solidifies, transforming into a world of ten miles square.

At the moment when the small world fully solidifies and forms, the entire chaos trembles slightly. Zhang Chen observes the small world from across the chaos, a hint of contemplation showing in his eyes:

“It’s just a small space capable of evolving life, hardly a true small world. Even the river of time and the river of fate have not evolved, but it’s enough for me.”

What he needs is merely a small space to plant the Peach Tree and Tree of Life. As for truly condensing a complete world, it is not important to him.

Zhang Chen’s eyes fall upon the small world, seeing the world of ten miles square, within which there is only an endless sandy land, no rivers, no springs, no mountains, no minerals—only boundless emptiness and desolation.

Because the entire small world lacks a sun, it appears dim and obscure, like the twilight of dusk.

However, Zhang Chen does not mind. Although lacking various essentials, it is enough for him because whatever the world does not naturally generate, he can create after the fact.

Then Zhang Chen casually points, and the Fire Spirit Pearl flies out from chaos, landing within the small world, hanging above the sky, bursting with infinite heat, evolving into a great sun.

With another point, the Water Spirit Pearl flies out, embeds within the earth, and one sees that the earth starts to have springs, with underground rivers being formed.

With another point, the Earth Spirit Pearl flies out, landing within the small world, causing the earth to tremble; the Earth Spirit Pearl generates Dragon Vein Qi, nourishing the sandy land, transforming it into fertile soil, with mountain ranges and ore veins slowly condensing and forming.

Within the tiny small world, eight Innate Spiritual Treasures are buried, namely the Five Elements Banner and Zhang Chen’s three spirit pearls for creation.

Accompanied by the return of eight Innate Spiritual Treasures, the entire small world experiences a subtle transformation, as if gaining a profound foundation. The eight Innate Spiritual Treasures invisibly drive the operation of the small world, causing the small world to frantically swallow chaos energy for expansion, and every quarter of an hour, it trembles with a roar, increasing the land by a mile.

“Excellent! Excellent! With these eight Innate Spiritual Treasures, this small world will one day restore to the size of the eighteenth heaven of the Spiritual World.” Zhang Chen praises upon seeing this:

“But this small world is too barren, without a trace of vitality. I still need to add some vitality to it.”

Then Zhang Chen waves his hand, and the Tree of Life mysteriously falls, rooting within the small world. With the addition of the Tree of Life, the operation of the Wood Element Law within the small world significantly strengthens, the entire small world gains inexplicable vitality, with a thread of emerald green appearing out of nowhere.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen further places the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu into the small world, where it lands and roots, and as soon as it touches the ground, countless roots start frantically spreading across the earth, soon covering every corner of the earth. The Heaven-Reaching Jianmu stands towering, with its lush trunk now extending to cover the entire world. Countless branches stretch into unknown chaos, into unknown time and space, converting chaos energy, with the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu’s respiration visibly drawing a vast amount of Primordial Qi, which infuses the entire small world.

Since the birth of Innate Qi, the entire small world flashes with lightning and thunder, as if it possesses a soul, and the whole small world comes to life. The speed of the small world barrier swallowing chaos Qi increases a hundredfold, especially everything within the small world undergoes incredible changes under the permeation of Innate Qi, acquiring innate properties.

Underground, innate river water is born, in the soil, innate copper ore nurtures, and even innate wood and grass Qi condense into Reishi Immortal Grass, rooting upon the earth.

Further driven by Zhang Chen’s Power of Time, the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu grows quickly, entirely enough to cover the sky of the small world, at this time Zhang Chen gazes afar, seeing the rain-like innate spiritual Qi with the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu’s breathing.

‘Boom~’

The small world shudders, under the fostering of the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu, the small world frantically expands, increasing to a hundred miles in a breath, expanding tenfold.

“What a Heaven-Reaching Jianmu, truly worthy of being called a World Tree, simply an unparalleled divine object.” Zhang Chen looks at the expanded hundred-mile small world, his eyes full of praise.
