Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 29. Yuan Feng Returns to the Great Silence, Kong Xuan? Kong Xuan?
"I want you to go to the immortal volcano."

Suzaku spoke slowly.

"An immortal volcano?"

"The place where Yuan Feng was suppressed?"

Ji Yuan inquired.

"That's right!"

Zhuque lowered her body and looked directly into Ji Yuan's eyes:
"Go to the Undying Volcano and take your sister's child away."

Ji Yuan asked in confusion:
"A child? Let me take him? They're stronger than me, aren't they? Do they need me?"

Zhuque shook his head, his expression somewhat sorrowful: "Of my sister's eight children, only one remains. He was born with a deficiency and his origin was always sealed and nurtured by my sister, which is how he was saved from death."

"Eight children?"

Ji Yuan was puzzled.

Shouldn't Yuan Feng have nine children?
They are respectively the peacock, golden phoenix, colorful phoenix, fire phoenix, snow phoenix, blue phoenix, thunderbird, great wind, and golden-winged roc.

So Ji Yuan asked, "Didn't Yuan Feng have nine children? Why is it now eight?"

Zhuque shook his head and sneered:
"You're talking about the Golden-Winged Roc, right? He only swallowed a drop of my sister's primordial blood when she was sensing the Five Elements."

"He's of no use whatsoever except for riding on the coattails of my Phoenix Clan. If we weren't trapped here, I would have killed him first."

"I see."

Ji Yuan suddenly realized why killing the Golden-Winged Roc had no significant consequences; it turned out to be a fraud, causing him to worry for nothing.

Then Ji Yuan asked:
"Then who is the son that the Divine Lord asked me to bring out?"

"His name is Kong Xuan. He was born from the combination of the five elements in his body and was the first peacock in the world."

Suzaku replied.

Ji Yuan was surprised; it was just as he had thought.

Kong Xuan, the number one person after the sages of later generations, possessed the great supernatural power of five-colored divine light, and was known as the one who could brush away everything in the world.

However, he remained expressionless and pondered for a moment:

"Why take him away? He should be better off in the Undying Volcano with his Phoenix bloodline."

Suzaku's eyes were deep as she slowly spoke:
"My sister is about to return to the Great Silence, her primordial spirit is in a state of half life and half death, leaving only her physical body to suppress the Undying Volcano. Such an Undying Volcano is not suitable for Kong Xuan to live in."

Ji Yuan nodded and asked:

"I can bring Him out, but what happens after that?"

"Let Him follow you in cultivation. Whether you make Him your subordinate, your brother, or your Daoist partner, it doesn't matter. The point is that He wants to be with you."

The Vermilion Bird cuts through the railway like nails.

"Huh? Brother? Daoist partner?"

Ji Yuan looked puzzled.

Suzaku then said:
"He has not yet distinguished between Yin and Yang; whether it is Yin or Yang is up to you to decide."

Ji Yuan suddenly realized that the situation was still in a state of flux.

"Okay, I agree."

It's just a matter of cultivation; it's just that the master has another disciple.

"it is good!"

Zhuque looked smug.

With a flap of its wings, a wisp of innate Bing Fire essence flew to Ji Yuan, who then put it into his pocket.

Then, Zhuque separated a wisp of Nirvana True Fire from its body and gave it to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan bowed and said:

"Then thank you very much, Divine Lord. I will set off now."

"Hey, wait!"

Zhuque stopped Ji Yuan.

"This is for you too."

A feather inscribed with golden runes detached from her body.

These are the Vermilion Bird's innate natal feathers, which are extremely precious.

Ji Yuan was pleasantly surprised; he had even gained something.

"Thank you, Divine Lord!"

"Go!"

With a flap of its wings, the Vermilion Bird instantly teleported Ji Yuan to the edge of the sea eye. After confirming his location, Ji Yuan set off towards Antarctica.

Like the easternmost point, the Antarctic is also shrouded in great calamity.

The immortal volcano in Antarctica is the largest volcano in the primordial world, suppressing endless subterranean fire. If the fire were to erupt, it would cause enormous destruction to the primordial world.

However, the Phoenix Clan was born with fire and was least afraid of flames. Therefore, Yuan Feng made a vow to the Heavenly Dao to forever suppress the Undying Volcano, thereby resolving the Phoenix Clan's karma and obtaining merit from the Heavenly Dao.

While he was thinking, Ji Yuan soon saw a towering volcano that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth.

You can feel the immense heat even from a great distance.

"Where am I supposed to find Kong Xuan when there's such a huge mountain?"

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

They flew forward for a while longer.

"唳~"

A phoenix's cry rang in his ears.

In an instant, Ji Yuan arrived inside the Undying Volcano.

Ji Yuan stopped in his tracks, and Yuan Feng was standing right in front of him.

At this moment, Yuan Feng's feathers were dull, her divine fire was dim, and her eyes were full of fatigue. Overwhelming karmic force suppressed her spirit and energy, and scattered her fortune.

Even a top-tier powerhouse like Yuan Feng could not fully bear it.

Ji Yuan bowed and said, "Senior, I've arrived."

Yuan Feng nodded.

He was secretly surprised.

"This disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master is not highly skilled, but his luck is truly abundant. Whether my child can completely resolve his karma depends on him."

Then Yuan Feng let out a soft cry, and a feather radiating five-colored divine light appeared.

It was the Phoenix Feather, a top-grade acquired magic weapon that she had crafted.

It can be used as a sharp weapon to injure people's bodies, and it can unleash divine fire to burn people's souls. It also has a great suppressive effect on all birds in the world.

Yuan Feng moved the phoenix feather to Ji Yuan's front and slowly spoke:

"Young friend, consider this my reward to you. You don't need to refuse. This item is no longer of any use to me. I only hope that you can take good care of my child."

"This……"

"Then thank you very much, senior."

After much deliberation, Ji Yuan accepted the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Seeing that Ji Yuan accepted the magic weapon, Yuan Feng showed a relieved expression.

She breathed flames, and from the flames appeared a giant egg that was half the height of Ji Yuan.

The giant egg swayed slightly, as if greeting Ji Yuan.

"Is Kong Xuan still an egg?"

Kong Xuan was born a very, very long time ago. Ji Yuan always thought he had already taken human form, but he never expected that he was still in an egg.

Seeing the doubt in Ji Yuan's eyes, Yuan Feng slowly explained:
“In the past, when I was traveling in the primordial world, I sensed the primordial five elements and in the darkness, Kong Xuan was born.”

"Unfortunately, Kong Xuan was injured by the impact of the subterranean fire, which caused him to lose his source."

"But fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and only I, the child, survived."

"Now, I am also about to enter into great silence, and I will entrust Kong Xuan to you, my fellow Daoist."

Yuan Feng's eyes began to dim, and with a flap of her phoenix wings, Ji Yuan and Kong Xuan were moved outside the Undying Volcano.

Ji Yuan also had an extra fire seed in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Chaos Divine Fire Seed.

"I never expected that a trip to the South China Sea would yield two top-tier divine flames, a supreme acquired spiritual treasure, and a fellow Daoist destined to become a Quasi-Saint."

"Indeed, the most suitable way for me to cultivate is still to find treasures everywhere."

Ji Yuan was overjoyed. He opened his mouth and swallowed the fire seed, then put Kong Xuan's egg into his small world and headed towards Buzhou Mountain.

Watching Ji Yuan leave, Yuan Feng revealed a slight smile.

"Wow!"

She let out a sharp shriek, her body slowly growing larger until it enveloped the entire Undying Volcano. Her dull feathers became vibrant again, and the ethereal flames roared to life.

Yuan Feng looked up at the sky and slowly closed her eyes.

Only a faint murmur remained.

"The way of heaven..."
