Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

Kong Xuan's heart stirred, and he immediately waved his hand toward the light in the water. As the stream rippled, the object quietly emerged from the water and landed steadily in his palm.

It was slightly cool to the touch, and its texture resembled jade but was not. However, upon closer inspection, Kong Xuan was slightly taken aback.

The object in his palm was a broken piece of jade, no bigger than the palm of his hand and irregularly shaped.

Its color was dull, its edges were jagged, and it had no spiritual energy fluctuations or Daoist aura. It was just like an ordinary piece of stubborn rock that had been washed by a stream for millions of years, so ordinary that it was completely out of place on this beautiful island.

"What is this?" Kong Xuan frowned, his doubts deepening.

An object that can evoke his interest and generate a clear feeling is definitely not an ordinary item.

In the primordial world, even a stubborn rock, nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over the years, should have developed some spiritual light by now, let alone something that appeared in such a peculiar way.

He dared not be careless, so he immediately held his breath and focused his mind, slowly extending a wisp of extremely pure divine sense, carefully wrapping it around the broken jade piece, wanting to explore its inner workings.

Unexpectedly, a strange change occurred!

The moment his divine sense touched the surface of the jade piece, the seemingly inanimate jade piece suddenly emitted a barely audible hum, and then its inner radiance burst forth. Before Kong Xuan could react, it transformed into a warm, flowing light and instantly entered his brow!

"Huh?!" Kong Xuan's body trembled, and he didn't have time to stop him.

Immediately afterwards, a vast, ancient, and extremely obscure information, accompanied by a supreme Dao rhythm, exploded deep within his mind, forcibly merging with his primordial spirit.

In a short while, the true meaning of this thing surfaced.

When he realized what this thing was, even with Kong Xuan's mind and temperament from two lifetimes, he couldn't help but be shocked. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes burst out with an incredulous and horrified light!

The minute information contained within that broken jade fragment pointed to a legendary name that resonated throughout the ages and drove countless deities to madness.

The Jade Disc of Creation!

Before the beginning of the primordial world, five supreme treasures were born in the chaos, known as the Chaos Treasures: the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Earth-Opening Chisel, the Chaos Green Lotus, the Chaos Pearl, and the Creation Jade Disc.

In the past, when the great god Pangu created the world, he slew three thousand demons and gods, and countless calamities followed.

Among the five great treasures of chaos, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe shattered, its blade transformed into the Pangu Banner, its back into the Taiji Diagram, and its handle into the Chaos Bell.

The earth was carved and scattered, and its origin merged with the primordial killing energy, transforming into the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

The Chaos Green Lotus disintegrated, and its lotus platform, seeds, and leaves transformed into various innate spiritual treasures.

Only the Chaos Pearl, by a twist of fate, managed to escape the calamity of creation and disappeared into the depths of endless chaos, its whereabouts unknown and untraceable.

The Creation Jade Disc shattered under the impact of the power of creation, turning into fragments of varying sizes that scattered throughout the nascent primordial world.

The warm jade piece that is quietly floating deep within Kong Xuan's primordial spirit is a fragment of the supreme Jade Disc of Creation!

At its peak, this disc contained the complete laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos, serving as a vessel for the manifestation of the Great Dao, and possessing infinite mysteries.

Hongjun found most of the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc in the early primordial era, using them to comprehend the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao, organize the laws of the primordial world, and finally attain sainthood, becoming the first saint in the primordial world to rule the Heavenly Dao.

Even the upcoming Zixiao Palace sermon, which will shake the world, contains a significant portion of the profound meaning of the Great Dao that Hongjun learned from the Daoist principles of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.

This shows just how incredibly valuable these fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation are!

Even if it is only a tiny piece, it is a symbol of supreme opportunity, a mere crack in the gate to the Great Way.

"Such a blessing...!" Even with his resolute will, Kong Xuan felt as if he were in a dream.

Who would have thought that such an earth-shattering fragment of a treasure would be hidden in an ordinary stream on an ordinary island on the edge of the South China Sea?

He carefully examined the jade piece within his primordial spirit.

It still contains no restrictions, no specific laws, and no imposing aura. It is as if it is just the purest carrier of the Great Dao, a blank "jade tablet" that contains infinite possibilities.

However, through the information transmitted when the fragments were integrated, Kong Xuan had already understood its most basic and core usage.

By consuming merit, one can deduce cultivation techniques and evolve supernatural powers!

This is neither a weapon for attack nor a tool for defense, but a "tool for enlightenment" and a "foundation for deduction" that points directly to the origin of the Great Dao.

For him, its significance even surpasses that of many top-tier spiritual treasures that combine offense and defense.

This means that his future path of cultivation, the perfection of his supernatural powers, and even the completion and transcendence of his fundamental laws have the most solid foundation.

However, the "merit" required is also something vast and hard to come by.

Fortunately, he was not entirely unprepared.

On the island where he was born, he did indeed accumulate a considerable amount of merit through his "inventions".

I had no idea what great use this merit would be, but now it seems to have been prepared specifically for this moment.

Although it is painful to consume merit, it is worth it to replenish and leap forward in order to improve the foundation of the Great Dao.

Having made up his mind, Kong Xuan had no more hesitation. He immediately sat cross-legged on the blue stone by the stream, calming his mind and spirit.

He focused his mind on his primordial spirit, activating the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc. At the same time, he poured all his innate divine abilities related to the Dao path, including the "Five-Colored Divine Light," the profound meaning of his self-created cultivation technique "Five Elements Containing Light Scripture," the newly acquired "Feathered Sun Ascension Method," and even "Universe in the Sleeve," into the jade disc without reservation.

Immediately, he communicated with the Heavenly Dao in the darkness, continuously pouring the golden light of his accumulated merits into the jade tablet.

The merits were being consumed faster than expected. As the golden light representing his accumulated good fortune rapidly dimmed and diminished, even Kong Xuandao, with his resolute heart, couldn't help but feel waves of throbbing pain.

These merits were hard-won, all obtained through carefulness and following the natural order in the past, but now they have vanished like flowing water.

However, such investment is unavoidable in order to build the foundation for the supreme Dao!

As a massive amount of merit burned, the originally simple and unadorned jade piece deep within the primordial spirit finally underwent a change.

Fine and mysterious runes gradually appeared on its surface, initially numerous and chaotic, flickering and changing like the birth and death of stars.

Guided by some supreme law, the runes constantly collide, combine, annihilate, and be reborn, undergoing ineffable deduction and purification.

This is a process of eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, simplifying the complex, and getting straight to the point.

Finally, as the last ray of golden light of merit was exhausted, the dramatic changes on the jade tablet came to an abrupt end.

All the complex runes and shadows converged and solidified, leaving only two perfectly formed core runes, imprinted with Daoist charm, quietly imprinted on the surface of the jade piece.

One rune shimmered with ever-flowing, multicolored light, while the other appeared more restrained, radiating an ethereal and mysterious "spiritual essence," seemingly both real and unreal.

Kong Xuan took a deep breath and carefully extended a wisp of his divine sense toward the five-colored rune.

The moment the divine sense touched upon it.

"boom!"

The vast and exquisite content, as intricate as the celestial tapestry, along with endless insights into the Great Dao and specific methods, surged into the depths of his consciousness!

This is no longer a collection of scattered insights or crude techniques, but a systematic, complete, and supreme lineage that points directly to the Great Dao!

With the Five-Colored Divine Light as its core origin, it perfectly integrates the Five Elements Law and the profound principles of Yin and Yang, fusing the essence of all previous cultivation methods into one, forming an unprecedented fundamental technique!

The information was so overwhelming that Kong Xuan had to immerse himself completely in it to digest and absorb it.

The stream babbles, the white deer cry, and time slips away quietly.
