794: Chapters 556-557 Xuan Yuan Water Control_2
After probing meticulously, Xin Yun discovered that the law contained within this flag was incredibly powerful and unique, fiercely dominant, able to thoroughly command the energy of all Water Series within a certain range.
As for how vast this range was, it was determined by the strength of the person wielding this magical artifact.
It could be said that this flag was essentially a key; with this key, one could harness the water-element energy between heaven and earth within a certain range.
The extent of this range was affected by multiple factors, such as Xin Yun’s strength, spiritual power, Soul Force…
In short, the stronger Xin Yun was, the greater the area this flag could cover!
Staring at the flag in his hands speechlessly, Xin Yun was truly stunned this time; the fluctuations of the laws within the flag were too strong, even stronger than the Kongtong Seal by a notch, but…
the Kongtong Seal was already top-tier, second only to Innate Spiritual Treasures.
So what could this small red-black flag possibly be?
Although he could hardly believe it, Xin Yun had to face the reality: spiritual treasures stronger than the Kongtong Seal were exceedingly rare.
And since it was also a flag-type magical artifact, what else could it be?
A flag-type magical artifact stronger than the Kongtong Seal didn’t need guessing; aside from the Five Directions Banner, there couldn’t be any other.
Speaking of strength alone, below Supreme Treasures, it was the Five Directions Banner!
Especially when the Five Directions Banner were united, their existence would surpass that of Supreme Treasures, which was not an exaggeration at all.
Unfortunately…
it was fated by the heavens that the Five Directions Banner could never become one.
The day they united would be the day the world restarted!
The Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner?
That’s impossible…
The Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner is tied to a great destiny, it might not even have appeared in the world yet, and if it did, it could only fall into the hands of its predestined owner.
Moreover…
its color could absolutely not be red-black; red-black represents dark energy, this is a fact known even by Earth People.
Since it’s not the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner, it naturally couldn’t be the Levitating Flame Light Flag, the Blue Lotus Treasure Color Flag, or the Yuxu Apricot Yellow Flag either.
The color doesn’t match, and neither do the functions; it definitely couldn’t be any of these.
If the first four were not it, then there was only one possibility left, correct…
it was that most mysterious one, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag that had been lost since the distant ancient times!
The Five Directions Banner consisted of the Central Wuxu Banner, also known as the Yuxu Apricot Yellow Flag (Primordial Being), the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner, also known as the Gathering Immortals Banner (Golden Mother of the Jasper Lake), the Blue Lotus Treasure Color Flag (Amitabha Buddha), the Levitating Flame Light Flag (Taiqing), and the most mysterious and never-seen-before Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag!
They were all top-tier Spiritual Treasures, and apart from the Four Great Innate Treasures, as well as the Heaven-and-Earth Mystical Yellow Wondrous Treasure Pagoda, these Five Directions Banners were the strongest!
Of course, ‘the strongest’ here refers to their individual might.
If the Five Directions Banners were gathered together, their combined power would likely only be comparable to the union of the Innate Supreme Treasures, reformed into the Pangu Axe.
Once any one of the flags was hoisted above, they were indestructible by anyone less than a Saint.
Even for Saints, they would have to rely on Innate Supreme Treasures to forcefully break through.
If the Five Directions Banners were complete, with the Five Elements united beneath them, only the Pangu Axe could break them, but the Pangu Axe was already dismantled, meaning that there was nothing in the world that could break them!
Not only did these Five Directions Banners possess incredibly strong defense, but they also each had powerful functionalities.
Nothing below the Saint Level could break them…
and they possessed both offensive and supportive abilities.
Yuxu Apricot Yellow Banner—originally kept at Yuxu Palace with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, later lent to Jiang Ziya for the investiture of the gods.
“Spread the Apricot Yellow Banner, and thousands of golden lotuses will appear.”
Levitating Flame Light Flag—kept with Taishang Laojun at Mysterious Capital Cave, lent to Guang Chengzi to subdue Yin Jiao.
“Wave the Levitating Flame Light Flag, this treasure of the Mysterious Capital, arrange it according to the Five Elements’ marvels.”
Blue Lotus Treasure Color Flag—kept at the Western Paradise World with the Guide of Souls, lent to Guang Chengzi to subdue Yin Jiao.
“When the Blue Lotus Treasure Color Banner is waved, such a treasure, with white mist hanging in the air, and beams of golden light, a Shariputra shall appear.”
Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner — This banner is known as Cloud Boundary, another name is Gathering Immortals.
When going to the feast at the Jasper Lake, this banner would be raised, and all immortals would know to come to the auspicious gathering at the Jasper Lake, hence called the Gathering Immortals Banner.
Kept with the Queen Mother of the West at Jasper Lake, borrowed by the Southern Extreme Immortal to subdue Yin Jiao.
“Unfurl the Gathering Immortals Banner, this is the treasure of the Jasper Lake, only to see mist enveloping the ground, a unique fragrance shrouding above.”
Last is this Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag; upon summoning, it would be as if dark clouds covered the heavens, and with this flag, one could control all Water Series energy within a certain range, reversing clouds and rain, omnipotent.
However, it was quite clear that the previous owner of this magical artifact hadn’t figured out its use, apart from condensing myriad black clouds, there was nothing more.
If he had truly understood, with the defense of the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, the Thunderbolt Drill would indeed have to return without achieving anything.
In terms of power, the Thunderbolt Drill was streets behind the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, incomparable at all.
Among all the Five Directions Banners, this Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag had never been revealed.
Legend had it that it was owned by the Water God Gonggong, but it had never been seen being used, and later, he met his demise crashing into Mount Buzhou, and the flag was lost.
In the battle of divine investiture, Yin Jiao, the eldest son of King Zhou of Shang, a disciple of Guang Chengzi, wielding the Seal of Heaven, the Soul-Capture Bell, the Male and Female Swords, and obeying his teacher’s order, descended from the mountain to assist Western Qi in their campaign against King Zhou.
Swayed by the words of Shen Gongbao, upon hearing that his brother Yin Hong had perished to dust by the Tai Chi Diagram, he was enraged and attacked Western Qi, defeating Nezha, capturing Huang Tianhua, vanquishing Huang Feihu, driving Guang Chengzi away, and causing a great defeat to the army of Western Qi.
The Seal of Heaven was invincible; Lantern Taoist offered a strategy to set up the Five Directions and Five Colors Banners, borrowing the Blue Lotus Treasure Color Banner from the Guide of Souls, the Levitating Flame Light Flag from Laozi, the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner from the Golden Mother of the Jasper Lake, and Jiang Ziya held the Yuxu Wuxu Apricot Yellow Flag.
With one banner missing, leaving the north open, it was through this gap that Yin Jiao escaped.
