Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

"I originally intended to spare your lives, but I never expected you to seek your own death."

Before Kong Xuan could finish speaking, Jiao Yi had already launched his attack!

Its mouth opened wide, and a bright blue pearl rolled out from its throat, hanging in front of it, instantly filling the sea and sky with misty vapor.

It was this that refined over thousands of years into the "Water-Drawing Pearl," a supreme spiritual treasure of the world.

Almost simultaneously, the dragon armor also raised its head and roared, and a crimson bead, as red as fire, rose into the air, its scorching waves churning, clearly another fire-attribute acquired spiritual treasure.

When the two pearls appeared together, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred!

The once calm sea suddenly roared, and giant waves piled up one after another as if summoned, forming a water wall hundreds of feet high, blocking all directions.

The crimson pearl flew into the clouds, burst open with a roar, and transformed into a torrential downpour of blazing fire.

Water and fire, which are inherently mutually destructive, are now subtly merging into a vast killing array under the combined attack of the two spiritual treasures and the dragon.

Water, fueled by the fire, rises like mist, while fire, drawn by the water vapor, spreads endlessly, creating a situation where water and fire complement each other, sealing off the world!

Amidst the surging waves and falling flames, Kong Xuan stood alone in the void, his five-colored robes fluttering in the sea breeze and heat waves.

"Perfect timing!" Kong Xuan's eyes narrowed, and five-colored divine light suddenly bloomed behind him, like a magnificent feather unfurling, like an inverted rainbow, instantly filling the sky. "I'm in dire need of a spiritual treasure to protect myself!"

The moment those two menacing water and fire spirit orbs touched the five-colored halo, they instantly lost their brilliance and spiritual charm, falling straight down like ordinary beads, landing squarely in Kong Xuan's palm.

He glanced down at it, his tone indifferent: "Although it's something acquired later, it's still usable."

"My magical treasure!" Upon seeing this, Jiao Yi let out a mournful howl.

The dragon-armored creature, however, sensed something was wrong and roared hoarsely, "Brother, run!"

Before the words were finished, five-colored divine light descended like a curtain from the sky, completely enveloping its dragon body. Its nearly hundred-foot-long black and red body suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move an inch!

Jiao Yi finally regained full consciousness.

The fact that this "miscellaneous bird" could so easily take away the spiritual treasures they had refined over thousands of years suggests that its cultivation level is far beyond their comprehension.

But this realization came too late; the second divine light had already followed it like a shadow, immobilizing it on the spot.

Kong Xuan flicked his sleeve in mid-air, and as divine light flowed, the intelligence in the eyes of the two dragons vanished like smoke, leaving only two enormous dragon corpses silently floating.

He did not kill him completely, destroying his body and spirit, but only erased his consciousness, leaving his physical body intact.

"Although they did not gain any merit from the Heavenly Dao, these two Golden Immortal Flood Dragons did not work in vain."

Thinking about this, my gaze turned to the vast ocean all around me, and to the island beneath my feet that had been the site of my birth.

Since he took human form, all the innate five elements on the island were refined into divine light, and the innate grand array that originally concealed the secrets of heaven has almost dissipated.

Although this island is depleted of spiritual energy, it is still his birthplace. If it is abandoned and left to be eroded and destroyed by the primordial winds and rains, it will inevitably involve karma and shake his Dao heart.

With his mind made up, Kong Xuan swayed and revealed his true form as a peacock.

With its colorful plumage spread out and its tail feathers as magnificent as a rosy robe reaching to the sky, it stands proudly amidst the sea of ​​clouds, a divine bird.

He raised his head and inhaled lightly, and the entire island, along with the two dragon corpses, rapidly shrank, transforming into a ray of light that entered his beak and was absorbed into a small world within his body.

Immediately, he transformed back into human form, his five-colored robes fluttering in the sea breeze.

After taking one last look at the azure waves where he had cultivated in seclusion for many years, Kong Xuan stopped and transformed into a dazzling stream of light, speeding off towards what he believed to be the primordial continent.

Although slaying two dragons is nothing special in the South China Sea, it might still attract the attention of the Dragon Palace. It's best to leave as soon as possible.

……

Several months after Kong Xuan left, deep in the South China Sea, at the bottom of a dark abyss.

The crystal palace stands silently, constructed entirely of millennia-old cold crystals and coral chalcedony, its radiance flowing and its translucency like glass.

The palace was filled with the melodious sounds of silk and bamboo instruments. On the main seat, a young man with jade-colored dragon horns and dressed in snow-white robes leaned against the throne. His face was handsome but with a hint of languor. He was none other than Ao Lin, the seventh prince of the South Sea Dragon Palace.

He casually accepted the emerald-green spirit fruit offered by the mermaid beside him, his gaze falling on the clam maiden dancing gracefully beneath the prince.

The sheer fabric, like mist, accentuated her graceful figure, and the light and shadow shimmered and danced on the water.

"Report!"

A sharp announcement abruptly shattered the languid atmosphere.

A crab general strode into the hall, his golden armor clanging, his claws opening and closing with lingering currents.

It lowered its body, its voice deep yet clear: "Reporting to the Seventh Prince, the patrolling sea dragon generals, Jiao Jia and Jiao Yi, have been out of contact for several days."

Your subordinates went to investigate the area he was stationed in, but found it completely empty and devoid of any sign of life. We are here to report!

Ao Lin frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure: "They were just two mixed-blood dragons. Perhaps some powerful figure passing by casually killed them, or perhaps they foolishly stumbled into a deadly situation. Is such a trivial matter worth disturbing my peace?"

He casually waved his hand, causing ripples to spread across the water from his sleeve: "Just send two more people to fill the vacancies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Lin added calmly, "Continue playing the music, continue dancing!"

The music resumed, the clam maiden's gauze dress swirled open like a flower, the crystal palace still shimmered with light, in the silent deep sea, as if nothing had ever happened, and there was nothing to worry about.

Only the crab general who remained lying on the ground trembled almost imperceptibly beneath his carapace.

"Yes, sir!"

……

At this moment, Kong Xuan was traveling on light between the boundless sea and sky, but his brows gradually furrowed.

He had been flying away for who knows how many days, and as far as the eye could see, there was still only the vast blue waves reaching the sky, and the clouds churning as before.

The primordial world was simply too vast. Even with his cultivation at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, it would take him countless years to cross the boundless South China Sea and reach the mainland, even if he worked day and night without rest.

"I can't keep flying blindly like this." He thought to himself, "I need to find a living being to ask for directions and directions. Otherwise, if I wander aimlessly like this and accidentally enter some dangerous place or a powerful being's abode, I'll be courting death."

More importantly, he still doesn't know exactly when the primordial era is.

Has the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic been resolved? Has the sermon at Zixiao Palace begun? What is the current state of the world? These are all questions he urgently needs to know.

Only in this way can we proceed with the next steps.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have spared the lives of those two evil dragons. Even if I hadn't killed them, I could have used their divine sense to find out the location of the South China Sea, and even the current situation... I miscalculated."

But what's done is done, and regret is useless now.

Kong Xuan suppressed his emotions, only secretly reminding himself that in the future, he should be more careful in his actions, and make decisions only after careful consideration.

Just as he was about to set off to seek out living beings and ask for directions, an immense and boundless pressure suddenly descended, as if the entire sky were collapsing down!

It was not oppression directed at any one person or thing, but rather the noble will originating from the very source of the Heavenly Dao, causing countless beings in the primordial world to tremble, kneel, and bow their heads from the depths of their true spirits.

Kong Xuan felt his body radiate five-colored divine light to resist, but he still felt his breath catch in his throat and almost wanted to prostrate himself.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred in the sky.

Boundless purple mist arose from nothingness, vast and boundless, instantly dyeing the entire sky.

Amidst the flowing purple light, a calm and indifferent voice, yet resounding throughout every corner of the primordial world, slowly descended, each word like the imperial decree of Heaven: "I am Hongjun, and I have now attained the Dao and achieved sainthood."

Ten thousand years later, the Great Dao will be expounded in the Purple Cloud Palace of the Outer Heavens. All beings of the primordial world who are destined to hear it are welcome to come and listen.
