Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Postnatal Five Elements Great Extermination Divine Light
Indeed, Luo Yan had already noticed that the female voice he heard in the Pavilion Main Hall after passing the trial sounded like some sort of preset artificial intelligence.
Or, in terms of this world’s terminology, it could be “a mechanical artifact spirit with a rigid personality.”
If the female voice really belonged to an artifact spirit, then the entire Pavilion could very well be a giant magical treasure.
This giant magical treasure operated on fixed rules, periodically opened to the outside world, and the Penglai Yuqing Sect controlled part of its access privileges, using them for trials and cultivating disciples of Clarify Cult.
At the same time, this magical treasure possessed the ability to “recognize divine souls.” The evidence was that whether it was Meng Po in the Ten Halls of the Land of Fengdu or the Heavenly Demon’s sound in the Sixth Heaven Demon Lands, both would target Qiu Changtian while avoiding Luo Yan.
Because, in the judgment program of the Pavilion’s Prohibitions, Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan were the same person.
Then the question arose:
Normally, disciples of Foundation Establishment Rank who passed the Pavilion’s trial would be unable to re-enter the Pavilion for a short time after being teleported away.
The Pavilion would close after being open for only three days, and the period before it opened again often spanned hundreds of years.
By then, the previous Foundation Establishment Rank disciples who had been to the Pavilion would typically either have perished or reached Core Formation, naturally losing the qualification to enter the Pavilion.
So, theoretically speaking, a disciple is not supposed to enter the Pavilion twice.
Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan, recognized by the Pavilion’s Prohibitions as the same person, yet when the Pavilion opened, the Penglai Yuqing Sect “registered” them as two different individuals.
As a result, the female voice in the Pavilion Main Hall just now had made the mistake of declaring “Qiu Changtian as the first to pass,” “Luo Yan also as the first to pass.”

In a state of sudden enlightenment, Luo Yan almost instantly thought of this and immediately cried out “not good” three times in his heart.
To use a programming analogy, if there was a BUG, the program would probably crash and could not continue to run.
So, could this Pavilion artifact spirit also fall into a state of error, thereby being unable to teleport me out?
If that were the case, it would be terrible!
Just as Luo Yan was breaking out in a cold sweat, he heard the mechanical female voice say:
“Hmm… that’s not right, hmm… strange, hmm…”
It hummed for a long time, then suddenly lamented:
“So that’s how it is. Since you were able to borrow the Secret Transmission Formation, forcibly open the Restrictions, and return to my Pavilion, I suppose the Daoist lineage of my Clarify Cult has already perished outside.”
Luo Yan: ????????????
What? My Three Pure Ones Orthodox Sect has perished?
The female voice sighed again and said:
“Since that’s the case, I shall impart to you the Immortal Law ‘Postnatal Five Elements Great Extermination Divine Light,’ you must cultivate it well, and take self-preservation as the priority.”
“One day, if it is within your power, you must reestablish the sect, and carry on the ultimate teachings of the Clarify Cult’s lineage…”
Luo Yan was momentarily stunned, then shouted in his heart:
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!
It turned out that this Pavilion Secret Realm was not only the trial ground for Clarify Cult’s Foundation Establishment disciples but also a contingency plan left by an Ancient Power for when the Clarify Cult fell.
According to what the Pavilion artifact spirit said, there should be some “Secret Transmission Formation” within the Three Pure Ones Orthodox Sect.
If one day the sect faced extinction, they could send elite disciples back to the Pavilion to obtain its precious resources, preserve their lineage, and continue the teachings of the Clarify Cult.
And because of the Kunlun Mirror’s tricky manipulation, he had come to the Pavilion a second time and just happened to hit a logic loophole of the artifact spirit, making it mistakenly believe he had come using the Secret Transmission Formation—after all, under normal circumstances, a disciple couldn’t enter the Pavilion twice.
Luo Yan suppressed his excitement and continued to listen to it speak for a long while, but nothing descended.
He was bewildered for a moment, then suddenly realized what had happened and immediately swore sincerely:
“Disciple Luo Yan swears to diligently cultivate this law to maintain the Clarify Cult’s Daoist lineage unbroken!”
“Very good,” the female voice said with satisfaction, and then a light appeared in the air and rushed into his Spirit Mansion.
In an instant, Luo Yan felt a shock in his heart; the light entered his Dantian and immediately turned into red, green, yellow, black, and white colors, making his Spirit Mansion as bright as daylight.
After a good while, the five-colored speck of light finally sank deep into the Qi Sea, and his mind was now imprinted with a set of methods for cultivation.
Postnatal Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light, harnessing the generative and overcoming forces of the Five Elements, could melt metal, cut wood, cover water, extinguish fire, and bind earth, possessed of infinite might!
Any magical treasure, magic sword, spell… as long as it falls within the Five Elements, nothing is unbreakable!
“Now that the evil demons are rampant in the Nine Provinces, and the legacy of Clarify Cult has been destroyed, it seems there are no safe places left outside,” the woman’s voice continued in a deep tone, “If you wish to stay here longer, then stay.”
“If you wish to go somewhere, I can transmit you there using the Pavilion Formation. You can go anywhere in the East Sea.”
They’re even giving out a return ticket to the city, huh?
Luo Yan thought long and hard, weighing all the various factors before choosing to be transmitted to the front entrance of the Pavilion.
In the whirl of heaven and earth, he soon reached the boundary of the water membrane.
Aside from Qiu Changtian, the others had yet to emerge.
Following the rainbow light back to the deck, he saw that the Ziwei Sect Leader was no longer there—she must have returned to the treasure ship on the Kunlun side.
True Person Shi Ding beckoned him over, said a few words, and then asked about the rewards for passing the trial.
Luo Yan had already thought it through while inside:
The Postnatal Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light, according to the Artifact Spirit of the Pavilion, was a technique capable of founding a sect and continuing the legacy of the Clarify Cult.
If his master knew it was a technique of Immortal Law, he would surely become suspicious.
Therefore, Luo Yan could only choose to surrender one of his spoils of war, the Jade Emperor Bell.
“Hmm.” Gazing at the Jade Emperor Bell, Elder Shi Ding appeared somewhat surprised.
The Jade Emperor Bell, a Tenth Rank magical treasure, immensely powerful in defense, was a normal reward for the Pavilion trial.
However, with Qiu Changtian acquiring the Five Thunder True Law, that was a hard act to follow; compared to that, Luo Yan’s reward as the second finisher of the Pavilion trial seemed rather meager.
But Elder Shi Ding had no suspicions regarding this. After all, Luo Yan was always honest and, having been exposed to various knowledge on artifact refining at the Heavenly Craft Workshop, it was only natural for him to favor magical treasures.
Thus, he warned Luo Yan with a few words, essentially advising, “Don’t become reckless just because you have a defensive magical treasure,” to which Luo Yan naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
It was only when he returned to his cabin and closed the door that he couldn’t contain his excitement and began to search his Sea of Consciousness again.
The Postnatal Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light, according to the general outline of the mental method given by the Pavilion, was created in imitation of the Innate Five Elements Great Chaos Divine Light.
That Innate Five Elements Great Chaos Divine Light was the innate divine ability of the Peacock Clan from the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm, renowned for its ability to cleanse anything.
No matter what magical treasure or magic sword you have, if it can’t transcend the Five Elements, a swipe can erase its divine powers and essence, a force even immortals fear greatly.
As for this Postnatal Desolation Divine Light, though not as powerful as the Innate Chaos Divine Light, it’s on the same level of Immortal Law, boasting the ability to break everything.
If an opposing magical treasure or magic sword approaches, a swipe can heavily damage it. Continue swiping a few more times, and its power would nearly match a single swipe of the Innate Chaos Divine Light.
If the Green Duckweed Sword is the Life-bound Sword Artifact of Ling Yunpo, then the Postnatal Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light could serve as Luo Yan’s Life-bound Daoist Magic, worthy of dedicating his entire life to master!
“Who would’ve thought it would be the Postnatal Five Elements Ultimate Extermination Divine Light?” the Kunlun Mirror also exclaimed.
“Hmph, Ah Jing,” Luo Yan arrogantly said, “What do you think of this technique of Immortal Law?”
Not liking his attitude, the Kunlun Mirror retorted stubbornly:
“To call it strong, it’s not that strong. Compared to Kon Xuan’s Innate Five Elements Great Chaos Divine Light, it’s certainly inferior.”
“If you cultivate this technique to a profound level, at most, it will be on par with one of his five feathers, roughly equal in power to a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.”
“A Postnatal Spiritual Treasure is enough,” Luo Yan pondered, “I’m not a peacock, so how could I possibly obtain the Innate Chaos Divine Light?”
“Speaking of that, my Mirror Flower Water Moon does record the innate divine abilities of the Peacock Clan, but it can only be activated at the Nascent Soul Rank.”
“Oh, and what’s the corresponding persona?”
“Conceited.”
“Alright, enough said, store it away.”
