Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

Sunrise and sunset, the years pass by, and ten thousand years are but a fleeting moment in the vast universe.

On this day, Kong Xuan slowly opened his eyes in the quiet room.

Although his aura was several times stronger than before his seclusion, it was still floating and not yet solidified, which was a sign of entering the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm for the first time.

He did not rush to get up, but closed his eyes again, carefully experiencing the mystery of this new realm.

According to the "Five Colors Containing Light Scripture" deduced from the Jade Tablet of Creation, refining the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi into the Taiyi Dao Foundation is by no means a casual act.

The five elements generate and restrain each other; refining the five elements must proceed step by step in the order of generation.

If one acts willfully and disorderly, causing the five elements to clash, although one may achieve success temporarily, the foundation of one's path will be secretly damaged.

Although it may go unnoticed in the short term, the conflict will gradually emerge over time, becoming a hidden danger in both cultivation and combat, and even posing a risk to life.

Furthermore, refining each element of Qi requires the simultaneous advancement and harmonization of Yin and Yang.

Yin alone cannot produce life, nor can Yang alone grow; only when Yin and Yang complement each other can the right path be followed.

Although there is no strict order, if one only refines pure Yin or pure Yang Qi, the path to enlightenment is set, and it becomes easier than ever before.

From this point onward, every step requires the simultaneous cultivation of both Yin and Yang energies; otherwise, an imbalance of Yin and Yang will result in a drastic change in temperament at best, and at worst, confusion between body and spirit, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female.

If Kong Xuan wanted the Five-Colored Divine Light to eventually reach the state of "sweeping away everything" and not be countered by the Seven Treasures Tree, he would have to follow the path of cultivating both Yin and Yang. It is even said that he would have to cultivate the Great Dao of Yin and Yang in the future.

He now possesses the innate energies of Jia wood and Yi wood, as well as the energies of Bing fire and Ding fire.

According to the order of the five elements' mutual generation, one should first refine the yin and yang energies of the wood element, and then the fire element.

Once one has mastered one line, one enters the early stage of Taiyi; two lines represent the middle stage; and four lines signify the final stage.

Once all five elements are present, one can attempt to condense the three flowers at the top of the head and inquire about the path to becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, the realm of Daluo was still far away for Kong Xuan at this time.

Firstly, we lack the subsequent cultivation methods, and secondly, we haven't gathered all five elements of energy, so we won't dwell on it for now.

When the time is right, the future path can be deduced using the Jade Tablet of Creation, and things will naturally fall into place.

With his mind settled, Kong Xuan calmed his spirit and drew upon the innate Jia Wood and Yi Wood energies, slowly drawing them into the source of the five energies within his chest according to the method described in the "Five Colors Containing Light Scripture".

Then, azure and blue spiritual light rose from his palm, intertwining like spring vines and sprouting like ancient trees, gradually disappearing into his chest, circulating slowly along his meridians, and gradually merging with the magical power throughout his body...

And so, thousands of years have quietly passed.

On this day, the azure light emanating from Kong Xuan's body gradually subsided, and the innate Yin-Yang Wood Qi had been perfectly refined.

His eyes snapped open, and a fleeting glimpse of spring's budding life seemed to flash across them.

Just then, my mind stirred slightly, and from the depths of my being, a faint sense of opportunity wafted from afar, clearly discernible.

"Another opportunity..." Kong Xuan's eyes flickered, and he had already made up his mind. "The matter of innate fire energy is not urgent for now."

Now or never.

If we miss this moment, who knows when we'll meet again?

He rose and stood up, his eyes clear and bright.

At this moment, only ten thousand years remain until the end of the lecture at Zixiao Palace. Even if they continue to cultivate the fire energy in seclusion, time is still running out.

This feeling is probably the last chance for me in this period of time.

Once missed, it will be extremely difficult to encounter such an opportunity again.

Moreover, after the lectures at Zixiao Palace conclude, the number of people in the primordial world who know the secret of the "Five Qi in the Chest" will greatly increase. At that time, the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi will likely become something that everyone is vying for, and it will be extremely difficult to collect them again.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan also felt a sense of helplessness.

He had neither a master to rely on nor close friends to accompany him. As for the Phoenix Clan... although they were once the overlords of the prehistoric world, they must have accumulated wealth within the clan. However, he avoided them like the plague, so how could he dare to actually "recognize relatives"?

The Phoenix Clan carries immense karma and guards the Undying Volcano. If they are involved too deeply, even the karma that has already faded on their bodies may be re-formed.

Since Yuan Feng had used her unfathomable powers to remove the karma from his body, she naturally did not want him to become too deeply involved with the Phoenix Clan again.

"Never mind." Kong Xuan sighed softly, suppressing his distracting thoughts. "There's always a way out. Right now, it's more important to seize the opportunity."

Having made up his mind, he pushed open the door and went out. He saw a vast expanse of sky, a boundless sea of ​​clouds, verdant mountains, and the chirping of kingfishers and cicadas.

This time, upon leaving the mountain, I will first go to the place indicated by fate to seize its opportunities, and then head to the Southern Continent of the Primordial Wilderness to find a quiet and secluded place to concentrate on consolidating my cultivation.

Once the foundation is solid and the five elements are initially formed, one can then observe the general trend of heaven and earth, seek opportunities, or continue to travel throughout the eight wastelands to collect spiritual treasures. All decisions can be made calmly.

"Zhitong, let's go."

As soon as Kong Xuan finished speaking, the spiritual soil in front of the cave entrance began to rise slightly.

Suddenly, Zhitong emerged from the soil with a "poof," carefully holding a deep blue pearl in his hand—the very same water-drawing pearl that Kong Xuan had given him before his seclusion.

The little guy looked the same, but the expression on his face as he held the beads was exceptionally precious.

Although it was only a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, it was already an extraordinary protective item for Zhitong, who was still of ordinary background.

Since acquiring the bead, he often held it in his palm, examining it from all angles, its precious light reflecting off his round face with great joy.

Unfortunately, apart from Kong Xuan, no other living beings came and went around this cave, so his show-off intentions were ultimately unappreciated.

Even so, Zhitong remained undeterred. Upon hearing the call, he quickly tucked the bead into his bosom, leaped out of the ground, and cheerfully replied, "Coming!"

Seeing his appearance, Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible smile. Without saying anything, he simply flicked his sleeve, and a five-colored cloud lifted the master and servant, slowly rising into the air.

Zhitong gripped Kong Xuan's clothes tightly and couldn't help but look back at the cave dwelling where they had lived for so long.

He had lived in Zhou Mountain for over ten thousand years, always secretly hoping that the master could settle there permanently and create a grotto-heaven.

However, seeing that after the master came out of seclusion this time, he was still in a hurry as usual, and there was no sign of him building a mansion here for a long time, it can be known that although this ancestral vein of the prehistoric world is good, it is ultimately not worthy of the master's attention.

The little guy suppressed his slight melancholy and began to look forward to the future.

"I wonder what kind of blessed land, a place of spiritual beauty and natural wonder, Your Excellency will choose as the site for your ritual?"

As my thoughts drifted by, the clouds had already swept a thousand miles away.

Kong Xuan was unaware of Zhitong's subtle thoughts. He focused on following the lead of that opportunity, but the deeper he went, the more his brows furrowed.

The direction they were heading was straight towards the mountainside of Zhou Mountain.

The area halfway up Zhou Mountain is a place where the oppressive power left behind by the great god Pangu is quite profound.

Even though he had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Kong Xuan still dared not be careless.

This time, I left the seclusion in haste, and the original spiritual treasure restrictions have not yet been refined. If I really encounter danger, I will inevitably be helpless.

However, such opportunities and serendipity are like a wisp of smoke in the wind, fleeting and unpredictable. If one does not follow closely at this moment, they may vanish into the mysterious workings of fate and be difficult to find again.

"Never mind, the opportunity is more important. Let's go and investigate first, and then decide on the next move."
