Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 116 Heavenly Court Operation: Kong Xuan Takes Action!

In the southern part of the prehistoric world, there is a desolate land where, as far as the eye can see, there are one huge volcano after another. This is the Nanming Immortal Volcano.

This is the place where the Phoenix Clan used to atone for their sins after the war between the three clans.

The area is constantly plagued by sandstorms, hot and dry conditions, making it an extremely harsh environment.

Of course, as one of the three innate races, the Phoenix Clan, with the most proud character, would not willingly live in such a harsh environment.

Several quasi-saint cultivators of the Phoenix Clan, led by the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Ancestor, worked together to create a miniature world deep within the Undying Volcano.

All the Phoenix Clan members cultivate in the small world, which is no less than the top-tier blessed lands of the primordial world.

At this moment, in the Phoenix Clan's small world, as far as the eye can see, there are densely planted phoenix trees everywhere.

The phoenix clan chooses trees to roost in, and their cave dwellings are the phoenix trees.

The thicker the trunk of the parasol tree, the stronger the Phoenix Clan members living on it are.

In a dense forest of phoenix trees, on a phoenix tree very close to the Phoenix Clan's sacred temple built of phoenix trees.

A golden wing fluttered upwards and finally landed quietly on the trunk of a sycamore tree.

A short while later, a very powerful aura erupted from the trunk of the sycamore tree.

A handsome young man dressed in white, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, slowly picked up a golden wing and frowned.

"What trouble has this guy gotten into this time?"

Kong Xuan felt incredibly troubled; his younger brother was quite talented as well.

But instead of cultivating properly and preparing for the revitalization of the Phoenix Clan.

Instead, he spends all his time wandering around outside, hanging out with a bunch of shady friends.

Every time he gets into trouble, I have to clean up his mess.

Kong Xuan glanced at the address the Golden-Winged Roc had given him, and his expression changed slightly.

"On the shores of the East Sea, could it be that he has offended the Dragon Clan?"

During the great calamity of the Dragon-Han era, the three races fought a great war, and the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin all perished in the battle, severely weakening the three ancestors.

Although hundreds of millions of years have passed since the Dragon-Han Calamity.

However, the relationship between the three races remained very delicate, with almost no contact between them.

If the Golden-Winged Roc offends the Dragon Clan, then this matter will be difficult to handle.

After a moment of contemplation, Kong Xuan's five-colored halo flashed slightly behind him, and he rushed towards the Phoenix Clan's Holy Temple.

This is a serious matter; we should go and report it to the Seven-Colored Divine Wind Ancestor.

Not long after, Kong Xuan emerged from the Phoenix Clan's sacred temple.

The power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal tore through space in an instant and disappeared into the Undying Volcano.

On the shore of the East China Sea, Kong Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, following the aura left by the golden-winged roc in its golden feathers.

They continued forward and soon arrived at the territory of the human race.

From a distance, the Golden-Winged Roc saw his elder brother arrive and his eyes welled up with tears. He cried out loudly.

"Big brother, come save me!"

Kong Xuan frowned, realizing that the one who had captured the Golden-Winged Roc was not a member of the Dragon Clan.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; as long as he hadn't offended the dragons, it was fine.

He breathed a sigh of relief, ignored the Golden-Winged Roc, and looked at Zhao Gongming and the three ancestors of the human race, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan greets fellow Daoists. The Golden-Winged Roc is my younger brother. I wonder what crime he has committed that warrants his arrest."

Zhao Gongming said, "I am Zhao Gongming, the chief disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain. This is the ancestor of the human race, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi. As for what your brother did, you can ask him yourself."

"The first disciple of the Shangqing lineage?" Kong Xuan's face became more solemn. The Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain were famous throughout the prehistoric world. Their disciples were not to be underestimated, not to mention himself, even by the Phoenix Clan.

Kong Xuan nodded slightly to Zhao Gongming, his expression becoming more solemn.

"So it's Gongming, Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan. Greetings, fellow Daoist."

After he finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the Golden-Winged Roc, "You idiot, what heinous crime have you committed this time?"

The Golden-Winged Roc looked at Kong Xuan like a mouse seeing a cat, too scared to even breathe and not uttering a single word.

Seeing the Golden-Winged Roc in this state, Kong Xuan was even more furious.

"If you don't talk, I'll have to ask for family discipline."

The Golden-Winged Roc shuddered violently before it began to speak.

It turns out that the reason why the Golden-Winged Roc came to wander around the human race every few days was because he made a good friend hundreds of years ago.

That friend was a Great Luo Demon God in the Heavenly Court, commanding hundreds of Taiyi Golden Immortal Demon Kings and thousands of Golden Immortal Demon Generals, a truly awe-inspiring figure!

The demon god said that as long as he brought some humans over regularly, his demon race could study them carefully.

Five hundred years later, he was promised the title of Demon King.

The Golden-Winged Roc had been roaming the Undying Volcano for tens of thousands of years. Although he was the direct descendant of the Yuan Phoenix, countless members of his clan looked down on him.

Originally, the human race was created by the sage Nuwa, which the Golden-Winged Roc did not want to agree to.

But the Golden-Winged Roc looked at the Demon King under the Demon God, who was majestic and had hundreds of subordinates who were respectful wherever they went.

Unable to resist such temptation, he immediately agreed.

Then came everything that happened in the ancestral land of humanity.

However, the Golden-Winged Roc was not stupid. Knowing that the human race was created by Nuwa, it dared not kill a single one and sent them all back.

Zhao Gongming slowly looked towards the Heavenly Court, lost in thought.

It's likely that the Golden-Winged Roc was used as a pawn by the Heavenly Court.

As for why the Heavenly Court doesn't take matters into its own hands and capture humans for research?

It's highly likely due to the subtle relationship with Nuwa.

The demon race, using the power of cause and effect, schemed against Nuwa and pulled Fuxi into the Heavenly Court's camp, which has already angered Nuwa.

If we were to attack or study the human race again, it would inevitably push Nuwa and the demon race further apart.

So the demon race devised a plan to use the phoenix race to study the human race!

Of course, it's also possible that a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court wanted to research the mysteries of the human race to present to the Demon Emperor in order to gain favor; these are all possibilities.

After hearing what the Golden-Winged Roc said, Kong Xuan's face turned pale with anger.

"You blockhead, you don't even realize you're being used as a pawn!"

The golden-winged roc hung its head and didn't say a word.

The faces of the three human races now showed a solemn expression.

The Heavenly Court is an insurmountable mountain for the human race today!

Let alone the two Demon Emperors, the Ten Demon Saints, or even the 365 Great Luo Star Lords, just one of the more than 10,000 Taiyi Star Lords could easily wipe out the human race!

This is the foundation of the Heavenly Court today.

Suiren sighed, "Taking a step back opens up a whole new world. The Heavenly Court is not something the human race can afford to offend, so let's just forget about it."

Zhao Gongming shook his head and instead passed the question to Kong Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, how do you intend to handle this matter?"

Kong Xuan looked at Zhao Gongming, pondered for a moment, and said, "How about I investigate the situation and then give you an explanation?"

When it came to the Heavenly Court and sages, even Kong Xuan could not remain calm.
