Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words "Innate Grand Array," Kong Xuan showed no fear; instead, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes!

In the primordial world, wherever there is a primordial array protecting a place, there must be primordial spiritual objects within it!

This is the ultimate truth of the Way of Heaven.

All things born in the primordial world possess a spirit. Before they are ready to be born, either to conceal themselves or to be favored by the Great Dao, the laws of heaven and earth around them will naturally evolve to form a protective array that matches their attributes, concealing their form, restraining their breath, and protecting their Dao.

This is both a test and a testament to opportunity.

He himself is the best example.

Born on the island in the South China Sea, if he hadn't been born prematurely, the innate Five Elements Formation would have been enough to perfectly conceal him. The evil dragon had been entrenched in the nearby waters for countless millennia without being detected in the slightest.

Now, there is actually a primordial array hidden in the Wuyi Mountains!

Even if it wasn't the treasure-dropping coin he was primarily looking for, it must have been a naturally occurring treasure or a rare innate spiritual root!

How could we miss such an opportunity?

At that moment, Kong Xuan stared intently at the immortal mushroom in his palm: "Tell me the details of that innate grand formation in detail, without omitting a single thing."

Seeing his expression, the little fairy's face fell even more. He was unwilling, but dared not disobey, so he had no choice but to tell him everything he knew about the great formation.

He described in great detail how he discovered it, the feeling when he got close, the blurry scene around the formation, the location where he was thrown, and so on.

After listening, Kong Xuan lowered his head slightly and pondered.

This immortal spirit's cultivation is shallow, only at the Profound Immortal realm. It's already lucky that it was able to discover the great formation. To try to find out the true nature of the formation is simply wishful thinking.

Therefore, it seems that he should be the one to break this formation, and he should also be the one to obtain what is inside.

"Hmm, what you've said is quite detailed." Kong Xuan raised his eyes, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority. "Take me to the location of that great formation, and I'll spare your life."

Upon hearing this, the little fairy immediately turned from worry to joy, nodding and bowing repeatedly: "Thank you for your grace, Immortal! Thank you for your grace, Immortal! I will guide you immediately and will not dare to make any mistakes!"

Kong Xuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the result.

He had no intention of casually killing such spirits and monsters that had already gained sentience and whose cultivation was not easy.

In the primordial world, cause and effect were paramount. To kill sentient beings without cause and unjustly incur karma was not the act of a wise person.

"No rush," he said, his gaze sweeping over the valley filled with spiritual energy and teeming with immortal mushrooms. "I will wait until I have harvested all the mature immortal mushrooms in this valley before I set off." Since they were unclaimed and of excellent spiritual quality, there was no reason for him to let them go.

Upon hearing this, the little fairy became anxious again and repeatedly bowed and begged, "Immortal, have mercy! Immortal, have mercy!"

These... these immortal mushrooms, though lacking sentience, are still of the same origin, and can be considered descendants. We humbly beseech the immortals to have mercy and grant them a chance to live, allowing them to continue growing here!

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at the bewildered little man, and then at the thriving fairy mushrooms filling the valley.

This valley is truly blessed by heaven and favored by destiny to nurture this intelligent and spiritually enlightened fairy mushroom spirit.

Forcibly extracting all the nutrients might truly sever the life force of this place's spiritual energy.

"Very well," he nodded, his tone softening slightly, "Since you plead so earnestly, and considering your merit in leading the way and our shared origins, I will make an exception and not take them."

This fairy spirit is familiar with the local energy flow, yet it is timid and values ​​its life; perhaps it will be of use in the future.

Forcibly harvesting all the herbs will only yield temporary benefits; leaving this blessed land intact may bring long-term advantages.

"Let's go, take me to that innate grand formation." Kong Xuan didn't delay any longer, gently lifting the immortal mushroom in his palm to indicate the direction.

The little fairy was relieved and quickly pointed to the west. His little face showed both lingering fear and a hint of relief that he had saved his descendants.

Then, Kong Xuan's body glowed with a faint five-colored light, and carrying the small guide, he sped towards the location of the innate grand formation that might hold a great opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, he led the little fairy mushroom figure, following the guidance, to a seemingly ordinary mountain peak.

Looking around, one sees only bare rocks, ordinary vegetation, and a thin spiritual aura, completely out of place with the surrounding Wuyi Mountains' beautiful scenery. It lacks any trace of natural treasures and is nothing special, resembling a forgotten and desolate corner.

"So that's how it is..." Kong Xuan understood upon seeing this. "No wonder no one noticed the mystery of this place. Judging from its appearance alone, no one would have thought that a grand innate formation was hidden beneath this inconspicuous desolate mountain."

It truly is a case of "divine things concealing themselves," not revealing themselves outwardly.

He knew that in the primordial world, the more precious the innate spiritual object, the better its protective formation was at disguising itself and blending into the ordinary environment around it to avoid being spied on.

Often, a short separation can lead to a world of difference; the inner workings are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

Don't be fooled by the desolate mountains and lack of spiritual energy before you. Once you step into the area of ​​that innate grand formation, what you see and feel will likely be a completely different kind of blessed land.

This outward "ordinary" is precisely the most brilliant "unusual" aspect of that innate grand formation.

Without further hesitation, Kong Xuan placed the trembling little fairy figurine in his palm to a safe place and instructed, "Wait here and don't wander off."

Upon hearing Kong Xuan's instructions, the little fairy's eyes darted around, and it nodded hurriedly in agreement, putting on a well-behaved and obedient appearance.

However, he secretly pondered whether he should take the opportunity to escape as far away as possible once this evil immortal plunged into that strange innate formation, or wait for him to come out.

For a moment, a conflicted expression flashed across his little face.

Kong Xuan had no time to pay attention to the little monster's thoughts at his feet.

His entire focus was on exploring the seemingly ordinary but actually mysterious area ahead.

The divine sense of a Golden Immortal slowly seeped into that area and indeed sensed an invisible barrier that was naturally formed and closely connected to the spiritual energy of the surrounding earth veins.

This is the external manifestation of the innate grand formation; unless deliberately investigated, it is almost indistinguishable from nature.

Kong Xuan had no systematic knowledge of methods for breaking formations, but he did know a little about common methods of breaking formations in the prehistoric world.

The most common approach is to launch a strong attack from the outside.

By gathering supernatural powers or borrowing the might of spiritual treasures, one can continuously bombard the nodes of the great formation until their spiritual energy is exhausted and their operation becomes sluggish, at which point the great formation will naturally collapse.

This method is straightforward and is the first choice for most cultivators in the prehistoric world when facing unknown formations.

However, Kong Xuan immediately rejected this option.

There are two reasons.

First, a forced attack would be too noisy, with surging magical power and dazzling light, easily attracting the attention of surrounding creatures and even passing by, thus increasing the variables. Second, the time required is hard to predict. If the formation has a deep foundation, it could take hundreds or even thousands of years. What he lacks most right now is time.
