P.S. Fellow Daoists, this book's rating is somewhat too low. Please, fellow Daoists, move your lucky fingers and help me raise the rating. I'm so grateful.

……

With curiosity in her heart, Nuwa followed the green vine and soon arrived at the spiritual medicine garden. She first bowed deeply to Chen Xuan, and then spoke.

"Master, Qing Teng said that there is a peacock inside this egg. But shouldn't a phoenix egg hatch a phoenix? How could it be a peacock? And what is a peacock? I have never heard of it before."

It’s no wonder that Nuwa didn’t know what a peacock was. After all, there were no peacocks in this ancient world.

Not to mention Nuwa didn't know, I'm afraid even Hongjun hadn't seen it. So Chen Xuan naturally just smiled faintly.

Then he said to Nuwa, "A phoenix egg will naturally hatch a phoenix. But these two phoenix eggs you brought were not hatched by a phoenix."

"They are two eggs with phoenix bloodline that were conceived by Yuan Feng in his dying moments, combining the yin and yang energies with the five elements."

"Because they only have a portion of the Phoenix bloodline, the offspring they hatch will naturally not be a Phoenix, but a Peacock or a Roc."

"Although they are not phoenixes, their achievements are no less than that of a phoenix. Especially this peacock, his future achievements are limitless."

While Chen Xuan was explaining to Nuwa why it was a peacock and not a phoenix, the phoenix egg under the Five Elements Fruit Tree finally cracked.

As the phoenix egg cracked, a radiant five-colored light instantly shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire sky with a myriad of colors.

This inevitably made Chen Xuan smile and say: "As expected of the first peacock in the world, it caused such a big commotion just after it hatched."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan waved his hand towards the newly hatched peacock, sending the corpse of the Five Elements God and Demon directly in front of the peacock.

Then he spoke to the peacock and said, "You were born from the five elements, and you are the first peacock in the world. From now on, you will be called Kong Xuan."

"This is the corpse of one of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, the Five Elements God and Demon. Consider it my gift to you upon your birth."

"Within the corpse lies a complete law of the Five Elements. You only need to devour the corpse to inherit the law of the Five Elements."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the dazzling five-colored divine light began to recede. Soon, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only a colorful peacock.

Although this peacock is not a phoenix, it looks very majestic, especially its five-colored feathers, which makes it not much worse than a phoenix.

Especially when the peacock spread out its huge tail, even Nuwa was stunned for a moment.

"Master, this peacock is truly beautiful. Even my golden phoenix pales in comparison."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "In fact, the Golden Phoenix is not of pure Phoenix bloodline. Otherwise, how could the Seven-Colored Phoenix give birth to a Golden Phoenix?"

Nuwa naturally knew that the Golden Phoenix was not of pure Phoenix bloodline. However, apart from the Phoenix Clan leader Yuan Feng, who was a seven-colored Phoenix, there was no other seven-colored Phoenix in the entire Phoenix Clan.

However, Nuwa did not say anything about this, her eyes still lingered on the peacock, not wanting to leave for a moment.

At this moment, Peacock had already swallowed the corpse of the Five Elements God and Demon in front of him into his stomach.

Then, the peacock once again shone with five-colored light. It then transformed into an incredibly handsome young man. The young man came before Chen Xuan, knelt respectfully, and spoke to him.

"Thank you for the name, Senior. From now on, I will be Kong Xuan. I also want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me, which allowed me to master the principles of the five elements at birth."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a breeze lifted Kong Xuan up. Then he looked at Nuwa and spoke.

"Kong Xuan devoured the corpses of the Five Elements Gods and Demons, allowing him to obtain a complete holy scar. He can use the Five Elements Laws of the Great Dao to achieve the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

"You brought him here, so it's up to you to decide where he should go. However, I don't recommend that he return to the Phoenix Clan's Nanming Volcano."

Nuwa nodded after hearing this. "With the Phoenix Clan now, they can barely protect themselves. How can they provide adequate protection for Kong Xuan before he grows up?"

"If others knew that Kong Xuan possessed a holy scar, it would surely attract countless people to fight for it. Even the disciples might not be able to protect him then."

"So, I hope Master can leave Kong Xuan and the other Dapeng on Qinglian Island together."

Nuwa still had some self-awareness, knowing that she, a saint, could not protect Kong Xuan at all.

As for whether she could keep the secret of Kong Xuan's possession of the Holy Mark, Nuwa had never even considered it.

At the very least, even if they could hide it from the Six Heavenly Saints, they couldn't hide it from Hongjun. Sooner or later, this matter would be known to the entire world.

Only by letting him stay by Chen Xuan's side can those people with ulterior motives not dare to have any bad intentions towards Kong Xuan.

Chen Xuan was also very satisfied with this. After all, Nuwa had this self-knowledge, which was enough to make Chen Xuan feel relieved.

So he immediately said, "Since you want him to stay on Qinglian Island, he needs a proper status. How about this, you take him in as your disciple?"

Just as Chen Xuan finished speaking, before Nuwa could agree, the Three Pure Ones had already arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

After all, Kong Xuan's birth had caused such a big commotion that it naturally alarmed the Three Pure Ones. Tongtian, who was in retreat, was also alarmed by it.

He didn't even care whether he would be punished by his master for intruding into the Spiritual Medicine Garden. He impatiently came to the Five Elements Fruit Tree.

After performing the master-disciple ceremony with Chen Xuan, Yuanshi Tianzun then spoke to Nuwa, "Junior Sister Nuwa, I have a request. Could you please give him to me?"

After hearing this, Nuwa smiled and said to Yuanshi Tianzun, "Junior sister, I founded the Human Religion, so my disciples should naturally be mainly human."

"But Master did say that Kong Xuan has the potential to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian realm in the future. His background is no worse than ours."

While speaking, Nuwa did not forget to look at Chen Xuan. After all, it was not her who proposed to take Kong Xuan as her disciple, but Chen Xuan's assignment.

Therefore, in the end, Chen Xuan had to agree to this matter. At the same time, Nuwa was also telling Yuanshi Tianzun how outstanding Kong Xuan was.

To put it bluntly, Yuanshi Tianzun had to take some concrete action. He couldn't just give away a disciple with the potential to be a saint to him for nothing.

Chen Xuan was naturally aware of this. He smiled and said, "You guys decide on this matter. Oh, and ask Kong Xuan for his opinion."
