Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Xuan Du landed in front of the Five Elements Cave.

As soon as he steadied himself, the ever-flowing five-colored barrier at the entrance of the cave silently parted, as if it had anticipated his arrival.

Kong Xuan, dressed in a five-colored Taoist robe, stood in front of the cave entrance, his expression calm, his eyes gleaming with restrained light, and his aura even more profound and unfathomable than it had been a hundred years ago.

"Junior Brother Xuandu."

Kong Xuan cupped his hands in greeting, his voice calm, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible doubt.

"Having emerged from a century of seclusion, instead of consolidating your cultivation, you come seeking me... What brings you here?"

Xuan Du smiled slightly and returned the greeting:

"I apologize for my intrusion, senior brother. I have important matters to discuss with you. May I ask if we can come inside for a talk?"

Kong Xuan's gaze lingered on Xuan Du for a moment.

Such a speed of cultivation...

I had only heard about it, but now that I've felt Xuandu's aura, I truly understand how powerful Xuandu's talent is.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and stepped aside:

"please."

The two entered the cave.

There were no luxurious decorations inside the cave, only the five-colored stone walls that shone naturally, reflecting a rosy glow throughout the room.

A futon sits in the center, with a stone table beside it and two cups of tea, creating an atmosphere filled with spiritual energy.

Kong Xuan led Xuan Du to his seat and raised his hand to pour tea.

The aroma of tea, carrying the essence of the five elements, is refreshing and invigorating.

"Junior brother, your visit this time must not be just for tea."

Kong Xuan put down the teapot, looked directly at Xuan Du, and got straight to the point.

Xuan Du didn't beat around the bush, picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then slowly said:

"There is indeed something I would like to ask my senior brother about."

He paused, his gaze clear:

"A hundred years ago, my junior brother went to the Undying Volcano to invite my senior brother to join our Jie Sect."

"At that time... it seems that I did not see my senior brother's younger brother, the Golden-Winged Roc."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the cave suddenly froze.

Kong Xuan paused slightly in the hand holding the cup, his eyes flashing with five-colored light, a hint of surprise in them.

He looked up at Xuan Du, his expression now more scrutinizing:

"My junior brother actually knows about my younger brother?"

Although the Golden-Winged Roc and he were from the same lineage of the Primordial Phoenix, their personalities differed greatly from birth due to their different origins.

He inherited the five elements and transformed into five-colored divine light. He loved purity and spent many years cultivating in seclusion deep within the immortal volcano.

The Great Roc, possessing extreme speed and the dual energies of Yin and Yang, is naturally unruly, restless, and difficult to tame.

After transforming into human form, he rarely stayed in the volcano, spending most of his time traveling and adventuring, and his reputation remained unknown.

In the primordial world, very few people knew about the relationship between the Golden-Winged Roc and him.

Xuan Du has only been a disciple for a hundred years, yet he is able to reveal this matter?

Xuan Du remained calm:

"By chance, I heard some rumors."

"Yuan Feng's two sons, one a peacock and the other a roc, both possess unparalleled supernatural powers."

He looked at Kong Xuan, his tone sincere:

"I remembered this matter when I saw my senior brother that day. But I was in a hurry and didn't have time to ask more."

Kong Xuan remained silent for a moment, then slowly put down his teacup.

"I see."

He nodded slightly, the surprise in his eyes fading into a soft sigh:

"My younger brother is indeed the Golden-Winged Roc, inheriting our mother's source of extreme speed and possessing the talents of Yin and Yang. His potential is no less than mine."

"only......"

Kong Xuan paused, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"He was unruly and disliked being restrained. After taking human form, he rarely stayed in one place."

"When my junior brother came a hundred years ago, he was traveling and seeking an opportunity to refine his Yin and Yang energies, so we did not meet."

He looked up at Xuandu, his gaze already carrying a hint of understanding:

"Junior brother came here specifically to inquire today... could it be that you want to...?"

The words were unspoken, but the meaning was clear.

Xuan Du nodded calmly:

"Exactly."

His eyes were clear and bright, and his tone was sincere:

"Now that you have joined my Jie Sect, you should know the spirit of our sect."

"All immortals come to pay homage, teaching is available to all without discrimination, and a glimmer of hope is seized; this is the supreme teaching of the Tongtian Master."

"The Golden-Winged Roc possesses both Yin and Yang energies and innate supernatural powers. If it can join my Jie Sect and receive guidance from a sage to comprehend the Great Dao, its future will be limitless."

"and......"

Xuan Du paused slightly and looked at Kong Xuan:

"Brothers joining the same religion, supporting each other, and jointly exploring the Great Way—is this not a wonderful thing?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.

He picked up the teacup, gently stroked the inside, and fell into deep thought.

Xuan Du's words are all reasonable.

Although he had only been a member of the Jie Sect for a century, he had already deeply felt the vastness and opportunities of the sage's lineage.

The last time the Tongtian Sect Leader preached, he pointed directly to the origin of the Great Dao, which greatly advanced his understanding of the Five Elements.

With the blessing of the Jie Sect's fortune, his cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort. In just over a hundred years, he had already touched the threshold of the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm.

Such a speed of cultivation, if one were to explore on their own outside, it would probably take ten thousand years to achieve.

Dapeng's talent is no less than his. If he could join the Jie Sect and receive guidance from a sage, he might truly be able to evolve Yin and Yang to their ultimate potential.

And as Xuandu said, brothers in the same sect can look after each other, giving them more confidence when traversing the prehistoric world in the future.

only......

Kong Xuan frowned slightly and slowly spoke:

"I am aware of my junior brother's feelings."

"If Dapeng can join the Jie Sect, it will be an opportunity for him."

He looked up at Xuan Du, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes:

"But my younger brother... is really hard to tame."

"He was born arrogant and looked down on everyone, and he didn't respect anyone except his mother."

"Before my mother passed away, she told me to take care of him, but he... doesn't always listen to me."

Kong Xuan gave a bitter smile:

"Over the years, he has traveled through the wilderness, causing a lot of trouble and incurring many karmic consequences."

"I have advised him several times to restrain his temper and find a place to meditate quietly, but the effect was minimal."

"It's difficult to get him to willingly join the Jie Sect and be bound by its rules."

Xuan Du listened, his expression unchanged, but instead smiled slightly:

"I understand what you mean, senior brother."

"The Golden-Winged Roc's arrogance is its nature, and also the essence of its Daoist heart."

"Our teachings emphasize seizing the last chance of survival, struggling through countless calamities, and transcending bondage."

"When accepting disciples, the master has never been bound by any particular style, valuing the true nature of the disciple rather than appearances."

"If the Golden-Winged Roc can enter with his original intention, Master may not be displeased."

He paused, his tone turning somber:

"Moreover, in the primordial world today, the aura of calamity is growing stronger, the witches and demons are locked in a standoff, and a great war is about to break out."

"Under the great calamity, all living beings are like ants, and even a Great Immortal cannot remain unscathed."

"Although the Golden-Winged Roc has high talent, he has not yet become a Quasi-Saint. If he is involved in the Great Tribulation, he may be in danger of perishing."

Xuan Du looked at Kong Xuan, his gaze intense:

"Entering the Jie Sect will grant you the protection of a sage and the blessing of the sect's fortune. Although there are some restrictions, it will help you avoid calamities and ensure a stable path to enlightenment."

"I'm sure you understand the implications better than I do, senior brother."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Xuan Du's words struck a chord with him.

The great calamity is approaching, and the world will lose its color. How could he not know this?

Although the Roc is strong, it is still vulnerable when facing behemoths like the Lich King or the lurking old monsters in the calamity.

If one could join the Jie Sect and receive the protection of the Sage Tongtian, it would certainly be the safest choice.

only......

"How could I not know what you're saying, junior brother?"

Kong Xuan sighed softly:

"But the roc's whereabouts are elusive, and even I find it difficult to pinpoint its exact location."

"The last time he sent me a message was after I joined the Jie Sect. He said he was looking for a place in the North Sea where primordial Yin and Yang would meet, and he wanted to use it to hone his supernatural powers."

"After that, there was no further news."

He looked at Xuandu and said helplessly:

"The North Sea is vast and boundless, with countless dangerous and perilous places, filled with chaotic energy, which even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would find difficult to cross."

"Finding him is like searching for a needle in a haystack."

Xuan Du frowned slightly upon hearing this.

North Sea?

Where is Kunpeng located?

He did know that place.

Resources are scarce and life is rare; even a Great Immortal would not easily set foot there.

Where did the Golden-Winged Roc go?

However... with his Yin and Yang energies protecting him and his supernatural speed abilities, it's not surprising.

"Beihai Yao..."

Upon hearing this, Xuandu fell into deep thought.

For me personally, it doesn't matter.

Having become a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, not to mention Kunpeng, even Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me.

Moreover, the final battle between the Lich Kings has not yet begun. Mount Buzhou has not yet collapsed.

Beihai also has a special existence.

I just don't know if its supernatural powers are top-tier.

Even if one isn't at the top level, joining the Jie Sect can still lead to many plans.

After all, the merit of mending the sky is a valuable thing.
