Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

The second method is to personally enter the fray.

The Heavenly Dao is fifty, the Great Expansion is forty-nine, and every formation must have a "one" escape route, which is the gate of life or the weak point.

If one can delve deep into the formation, decipher its operating mechanism, and find a glimmer of hope, one can break free and even take control of the formation.

This method is undoubtedly more sophisticated, but it requires extremely high levels of cultivation, knowledge, adaptability, and even mastery of formations from those who enter the formation.

Once trapped in the formation, one will be either ensnared or, in severe cases, strangled by the formation's power, making it extremely dangerous.

Kong Xuan was not familiar with methods specifically for breaking formations, but he recalled what Xianzhi had said. This formation did not seem to have the ability to actively attack, but rather tended to "trapped" and "confuse". Otherwise, with Xianzhi's mere Xuanxian cultivation, it would have been impossible for him to be safely thrown out after only losing his five senses for a period of time.

"It seems that although this formation has the ability to protect, it is not a killing formation. It is more like a test or selection." Kong Xuan quickly judged in his mind, "I am equipped with the Five-Colored Divine Light and am sensitive to the Five Elements spiritual energy. Perhaps I can use this to find the veins in the formation."

Even if I am temporarily trapped, with my Golden Immortal cultivation and the protection of my Five-Colored Divine Light, I should have no problem protecting myself. It's better than launching a strong attack from the outside and causing a huge commotion.

Weighing the pros and cons, going into battle to find out for ourselves seems to be the best option at present.

Now that he has come here, the opportunity is right in front of him, how can he back down because of potential risks?

The path of cultivation is inherently fraught with peril.

Having made up his mind, Kong Xuan no longer hesitated.

He first spread a faint layer of five-colored spiritual light around himself, which served both as protection and as a connection to his own five elements.

Then, he took a deep breath, stopped probing with his divine sense, and stepped steadily toward the boundary that the immortal herb had described as causing the world to change once stepped into it.

The moment his foot landed, the ordinary mountain, rock, grass and tree scenery before him rippled, shattered and reformed like waves.

A mysterious power instantly enveloped his entire body, his consciousness was clouded, his five senses seemed to be stripped away, and the surrounding scenery completely disappeared, replaced by a chaotic and indescribable strange space.

Faced with the strange, chaotic space before him, which isolated his five senses, Kong Xuan remained calm and composed.

Now that we know there is no danger of attacking this formation, we only need to calmly comprehend it, find its underlying structure, and break its key mechanism.

With a slight thought, he stopped resisting the force that blocked his senses and instead focused his mind on his own origin.

In the next instant, a point of five-colored light suddenly appeared in the silent chaos, initially as small as a bean, but then it shone brightly!

"Buzz"

A dazzling and harmonious array of five divine lights—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—burst forth from Kong Xuan's body, not for attack, but gently yet firmly spreading in all directions.

As the divine light flowed, it subtly conformed to the fundamental principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, creating a delicate contact and resonance with the array power contained in this innate grand array, which also originated from the source of heaven and earth.

Wherever the five-colored light reached, the chaotic, isolated space seemed to be infused with vivid colors and lively rhythm.

The light did not forcibly dispel the chaos, but rather slowly seeped in, attempting to understand and outline the flow of the invisible array of forces, the energy nodes, and even... that sliver of life that had "vanished."

……

Beyond the great formation, on a desolate mountain peak.

The little fairy did not take the opportunity to escape as originally planned.

It hid behind a rock, nervously watching the patch of air where Kong Xuan had disappeared, its little face showing a constantly changing expression.

"This immortal... actually walked in like that?" it murmured to itself, its voice filled with disbelief and awe.

It had personally experienced the terrifying power of that formation; a Xuanxian cultivator within it was like an ant looking at the sky, instantly becoming lost.

But this immortal was not afraid at all. Instead, he took the initiative to step in, and even his body was radiating a mysterious and unpredictable five-colored immortal light that made his soul tremble and attract him!

"What earth-shattering immortal magic this must be..." A glint gradually appeared in the eyes of the little immortal. "If I... if I could follow this immortal, even just to gain a sliver of immortal affinity and hear a word or two of guidance, it would probably be far better than me toiling away in these mountains for ten thousand years!"

It recalled the rudimentary cultivation techniques it had acquired, which only allowed it to reach the level of a Mystic Immortal, and its path forward was blocked.

As a plant spirit with shallow origins, in this primordial world where the strong prey on the weak, I may have escaped calamity today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after? It's hard to say whether I might become the immortal talent of other creatures.

That fear of living a precarious life, of possibly perishing at any moment, had long been deeply ingrained in the depths of the soul.

As it gazed at the five-colored radiance faintly emanating from the array, a Daoist charm that it instinctively felt close to and longed for, a thought grew wildly in its heart, becoming increasingly firm.

"Wait! Wait for the immortal to come out!" It clenched its little fist and made up its mind. "Once the immortal breaks out of the formation, I will... I will swallow my pride and beg him to take me in!"

If I could be accepted as a disciple, even as a nominal one, it would be an immense blessing!

If all else fails... if all else fails, being a servant who sweeps the courtyard and guards the herb garden is better than living in fear here with no hope for the future!

It stopped thinking about escaping, found a clean rock, sat down properly, and stared longingly in the direction where Kong Xuan had entered the formation. In its heart, it began to weave words of request with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

……

Time flies, and in the midst of battle, one loses all sense of time.

For the outside world, more than fifty years have quietly passed, but for Kong Xuan, who was focused on breaking the formation, it was a long process of repeatedly testing, deducing, and perceiving with the five-colored divine light, and repeatedly working with the mysteries of the innate formation.

On this day, in that chaotic and inexplicable space, the ever-flowing five-colored light suddenly condensed, and then plunged forward along some mysterious trajectory!

"Buzz!"

Kong Xuan felt a lightness all over his body as the array force that isolated his five senses and confused his senses receded like a tide.

He stumbled and fell somewhat awkwardly into a completely new world.

Looking closely, the view suddenly opened up before me.

This is a hidden valley realm perfectly concealed by a primordial grand formation, a stark contrast to the desolate outside world!

The valley was filled with a tangible spiritual energy that transformed into a misty fog.

The spring water flows gently from a crevice in the cliff face, clear and sweet, meandering and nourishing the entire land.

Spiritual herbs grow abundantly by the spring, and exotic flowers bloom. Several spiritual fruit trees are laden with plump, glistening fruits, emitting an enticing fragrance.

In the very center of the valley, where the spiritual energy is most concentrated, a tea tree stands quietly.

Its branches are vigorous and ancient, resembling a coiled dragon, and its leaves are lush, each leaf displaying a warm, reddish luster, as if containing an inextinguishable spiritual fire.

The rich innate fire elemental energy flowed and breathed between the veins of the leaf like a living thing, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy to form tiny vortices with each breath.

"A top-grade innate spiritual root, the Da Hong Pao tea tree!"

Even with his calm and composed nature, Kong Xuan couldn't help but blurt it out, a hint of barely suppressed surprise flashing in his eyes.
