Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

"Thank you for your guidance, Vice Leader!"

Bixiao was overjoyed and bowed deeply in greeting.

She knew that Kong Xuan's move had shown her a clear path.

If the Golden Dragon Scissors can truly give birth to a weapon spirit, even if it is only in its rudimentary form, its power will increase dramatically!

Upon seeing this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao exchanged a glance and bowed in unison.

"Thank you, Vice Leader."

Zhao Gongming also cupped his hands and said:

"Vice Master, Great Virtue."

Kong Xuan waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all."

He looked at Bixiao:

"However, this matter cannot be rushed."

"The birth of a spirit requires a long period of nurturing, and even more so, a special opportunity."

"Go back and refine it diligently; perhaps you will achieve something."

Bixiao nodded emphatically:

"yes!"

She put away the golden dragon scissors, her eyes filled with excitement.

Yunxiao tugged at her, and the three sisters bid farewell and left with Zhao Gongming.

Inside Biyou Palace, only Tongtian Jiaozhu, Kong Xuan, and Duobao Daoren remained.

Daoist Duobao was silent for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"Vice Leader, thank you for earlier..."

He was thanking Kong Xuan for his handling of Chang Er Ding Guangxian.

Duobao and Chang'er have always been at odds, a fact known to all of the Jie Sect.

Long-eared is adept at flattery and often considers himself an "elder" of the Jie Sect, while secretly ostracizing his senior brother, Duobao.

Now that Long-Eared has been cut off, Duobao felt a sense of relief.

Kong Xuan looked at Duobao, his gaze deep:

"No need for such formalities."

"Long Ears brought this upon himself; it has nothing to do with anyone else."

He paused, then said:

"Your cultivation has reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and you are only one step away from becoming a Saint."

"If an opportunity arises in the future, I may try to prove my Dao through force and walk the path of Hunyuan."

Duobao was taken aback.

Proving the Way through force?

The Path to Primordial Chaos?

He never thought of it.

Since the beginning of time, there have only been three ways to become a saint: becoming a saint through merit, becoming a saint by severing the three corpses, and proving the Dao through force.

Both of the first two have precedents.

Nuwa created humans, and her merits made her a saint.

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West all attained sainthood by severing their three corpses.

The only way to prove one's Dao is through force, and since the great god Pangu created the world, no one has succeeded in doing so.

This road is too difficult.

But Kong Xuan's mention of this at this moment must have a deeper meaning.

Duobao's heart stirred, and he looked up at Kong Xuan:

"What the vice-leader means is..."

Kong Xuan shook his head:

"Just a reminder."

"The eldest brother has his own destiny; there's no need to force it."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the Tongtian Sect Leader and bowed, saying:

"Master, if there is nothing else, I would like to return to the side hall for seclusion."

The Master of Heaven nodded:

"Go."

"You have just obtained the position of vice leader and have gone through a series of battles, so you do need to consolidate your cultivation."

"If needed, you may come to Biyou Palace to find me at any time."

"Thank you, Master."

Kong Xuan bowed again, then turned and left.

Daoist Duobao watched his figure disappear, lost in thought.

"Master."

He whispered:

"What Kong Xuan just said..."

The Master of Heaven's gaze was far-reaching:

He's targeting you.

Duobao was taken aback.

The Grand Master of Heaven slowly said:

"Kong Xuan was a man of extraordinary luck."

"His words and actions must have a profound meaning."

"His statement about proving the Dao through force and following the path of primordial chaos may be an implication that... the path of the Heavenly Dao Saint is no longer feasible."

Duobao was startled.

Not feasible?

Why is it not feasible?

The Master of Heaven noticed his confusion and sighed:

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, you think it's just about filling the positions of gods in the Heavenly Court?"

"No."

"This is the way of Heaven cleansing the primordial world."

"The Dragon-Han Great Calamity cleansed the three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin."

"The Lich Cataclysm wiped out the Lich and Lich races."

"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is now purging... the three sects of Taoism."

"Under the laws of Heaven, even sages are merely pawns."

"Why do you think there are only seven strands of Primordial Purple Qi?"

"Why do you think the last wisp of primordial purple energy disappeared along with the falling red clouds?"

The more Duobao listened, the colder he felt.

"What does Master mean...?"

"Heaven does not wish for more saints."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's voice was deep:

"At least, I don't want any more Heavenly Saints."

"That's why Kong Xuan reminded you to follow the path of Hunyuan."

"Because that is a path that is not bound by the laws of Heaven."

Duobao remained silent for a long time, then bowed and said:

"Disciple understands."

"Go."

The Master of Heaven waved his hand:

"Cultivate yourself diligently, for the great eon is approaching; prepare early."

"Yes."

Duobao, step down.

Inside Biyou Palace, only the Tongtian Sect Leader remained.

He looked toward the side hall, his eyes flashing with the light of a sword.

"Kong Xuan..."

"How much do you actually know?"

......

Side hall.

Kong Xuan sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by a halo of chaotic light.

He did not immediately go into seclusion, but instead focused his mind on his body, carefully sensing the Jie Sect's fortune within the Vice Leader's order.

The token hangs above the dantian, resonating with the primordial spirit.

On the jet-black token, the ancient seal script character "截" emitted a faint light, subtly echoing the Four Swords of Zhuxian deep within Biyou Palace.

A wisp of fortune emanated from the token and merged into Kong Xuan's essence.

That was the fortune of all the immortals of the Jie Sect. Although it was only a portion of their fortune, it was still as vast as the sea.

"With this blessing of fortune, the success rate of rebuilding one's cultivation after disintegration can be increased by 30%."

Kong Xuan pondered this in his heart.

Rebuilding one's skills after losing them carries extremely high risks.

Especially after falling from the peak of Quasi-Saint to the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and then cultivating again to become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

If one is not careful during this process, the foundation of one's cultivation will be completely destroyed, and there will be no hope of recovery.

But with the protection of the Jie Sect's fortune, at least his true spirit can be preserved.

"and......"

As soon as Kong Xuan had a thought, the divine light of the Great Dao appeared behind him.

Now, he has the backing of a Chaos Demon God, the protection of the Great Dao Divine Light, and the blessing of the Intercepting Sect's fortune.

Rebuilding one's skills after losing them is risky, but worth a try.

"Only a Primordial Golden Immortal can truly contend with a Sage."

A resolute look flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.

Although the Heavenly Saints are said to be immortal and indestructible, they are in reality bound by the Heavenly Dao.

After Hongjun merged with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao Saints became like puppets, and every word and action had to follow the will of the Heavenly Dao.

But the Primordial Golden Immortal is different.

That was a true sage of the Great Dao, transcending the Dao of Heaven, living a carefree and unfettered life.

Although equally difficult to achieve, once successful, their combat power far surpasses that of a Heavenly Dao Saint of the same level.

"Let's begin."

Kong Xuan no longer hesitated.

He formed hand seals, and the spiritual energy within his body began to flow in reverse.

How powerful is the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint at the peak?

To reverse one's cultivation technique at this moment, to dissipate one's power and start over, would be tantamount to destroying one's own Great Wall.

But Kong Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and his mind sank into his dantian.

"Buzz!"

The spiritual energy surged back from the meridians like a burst dam.

Wherever it passes, the meridians break inch by inch.

A sharp pain shot through Kong Xuan's forehead, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

But he gritted his teeth and continued to reverse the situation.

To dissipate one's power, it must be done thoroughly.

Otherwise, even a trace of the Daoist essence of a Quasi-Saint would affect the purity of the Primordial Path.

time flies.

Inside the side hall, the chaotic halo of light grew stronger and stronger.

Kong Xuan's breath was steadily declining.

Peak Quasi-Saint... Late Quasi-Saint... Mid Quasi-Saint...

With each drop in his cultivation level, a bloody gash would appear around his body.

How powerful is the physical body of the Chaos Demon God?

But at this moment, he was damaged due to the dissipation of his power.

Blood stained his Taoist robe, but Kong Xuan seemed oblivious.

His mind was completely absorbed in the reversal of the cultivation technique.

......

The main hall of Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the side hall.

"Um......"

Kong Xuan's life force was rapidly waning inside the side hall.

He fell from the peak of Quasi-Saint.

The senses were so profound that they were astonished.

I helped Kong Xuan stabilize his cultivation, so why did Kong Xuan's aura still drop?
