Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

Kong Xuan put away the token and ignored it.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to practice his internal energy cultivation technique.

Although the spiritual energy of the Immortal Volcano has been exhausted, Jin'ao Island is a sacred place with abundant spiritual energy.

With the added blessing of the spirit-gathering array in the hall, spiritual energy surged into his body like a tide.

The Chaos Demon God unleashed its full power.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is welcomed without reservation, and the laws of the five elements are naturally compatible.

A chaotic halo appeared around Kong Xuan, and the aura of the Great Dao was faintly visible.

His breathing recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally depleted meridians gradually became full.

The listless spirit was revitalized.

......

at the same time.

Undercurrents are swirling throughout Jin'ao Island.

Several figures gathered in a side hall of Biyou Palace.

Wuyun Xian, Changer Dingguang Xian, Qiushou Xian, Lingya Xian, Jinguang Xian...

The seven immortals gathered together.

Long-eared Dingguang Immortal's face was gloomy:

"Fellow disciples, what is your opinion on Master bestowing the position of Vice Leader upon Kong Xuan?"

The Golden Hoop Immortal sneered:

"What else can we say? Master has made his own decision; how dare we interfere?"

Despite saying that, his tone was full of resentment.

The dragon-headed immortal said in a deep voice:

"Kong Xuan was appointed as the vice leader as soon as he joined the sect. How could the disciples be convinced of this?"

Spirit Tooth Fairy nodded:

"Brother Qiu Shou is absolutely right."

"The position of vice leader is related to the power of the Jie Sect."

"Kong Xuan is strong, but his origins are unknown. If he harbors ill intentions..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Guangxian interrupted him:

"Be careful what you say!"

"Since Master has made his decision, there must be a reason for it."

"As disciples, we should obey our master's orders."

Long-eared Dingguang Immortal shook his head:

"Brother Jin Guang, you are mistaken."

"It's not that we disagree with our master's decision, but we are worried about the future of the Jie Sect."

"Kong Xuan has offended the two Western Saints, and now that he has joined our Jie Sect, he may bring disaster upon the sect."

"In the midst of a great eon, it's better to avoid trouble."

The immortals fell silent.

What Chang Er Ding Guangxian said was exactly what they were worried about.

The Jie Sect was already in grave danger due to the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Now, with the addition of Kong Xuan as another variable, the situation is even more complicated.

The Golden Hoop Immortal suddenly said:

"The investiture ceremony is in three days. Will you all attend?"

Qiu Shou Xian sneered:

"Of course I'll go."

"I'd like to see what abilities this Kong Xuan has to deserve the position of Vice Leader!"

A glint of light flashed in Lingya Xian's eyes:

"I heard that Senior Brother Duobao personally led him into the side hall with a respectful attitude."

"Even Senior Brother Duobao is like this, what about us..."

Long-eared Immortal Dingguang sneered:

"As the eldest disciple, Brother Duobao naturally obeys his master's orders."

"But we are different."

"The position of vice leader is a matter of face for the Jie Sect."

"If Kong Xuande is unworthy of his position, wouldn't our Jie Sect become a laughingstock throughout the primordial world?"

The immortals looked at each other, each seeing the deep meaning in the other's eyes.

......

The main hall of Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood with his hands behind his back in front of the palace, looking towards the side hall.

Daoist Duobao stood to one side and whispered:

"Master, the gathering of Chang Er Ding Guangxian and others may be detrimental to Kong Xuan."

The Master of Heaven said calmly:

"I am aware of this."

"Let them make a scene."

"Let's see what Kong Xuan's methods are like."

Duobao hesitated:

"But what if things get too big..."

The Master of Heaven turned to look at him, his gaze profound:

"Duobao, do you know why I bestowed the position of Vice Master upon Kong Xuan?"

Duobao shook his head:

"Your disciple is dull-witted."

The Master of Heaven gazed into the void, his voice ethereal:

"During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect appeared to be surrounded by a gathering of immortals, but in reality, it was in grave danger."

"Laozi and Yuanshi joined forces with the two Western sages, and with the four sages pressing in, even the powerful Zhuxian Sword Formation was ultimately fighting alone."

"The appearance of Kong Xuan is both a variable and a source of hope."

"If he can harm Zhunti, he can harm other saints."

"With him here, the situation of the Four Saints breaking the formation may be reversed."

Duobao was startled.

He finally understood his master's profound meaning.

The position of vice-leader is both a means of winning over and a means of binding.

This completely binds Kong Xuan to the Jie Sect, so that they share both prosperity and adversity.

"Disciple understands."

Duobao bowed.

The Master of Heaven waved his hand:

"Go and keep an eye on them. As long as they don't die, that's fine. As for the rest... don't interfere."

"Yes."

Duobao accepted the order and withdrew.

The Master of the Heavenly Sect stood alone before the palace, gazing towards Mount Kunlun, and sighed:

"well......"

......

Inside a side hall of Biyou Palace, Kong Xuan sat cross-legged.

A chaotic halo enveloped his body, and the aura of the Great Dao was faintly visible.

He focused his mind on his body, carefully sensing the depletion he had suffered in the battle against the Undying Volcano.

His spiritual energy was nearly depleted, and his meridians ached faintly.

But the regenerative power displayed by the Chaos Demon God far exceeded his expectations.

"The spiritual energy of Jin'ao Island is indeed extraordinary."

Kong Xuan secretly praised him.

As the sacred site of the Tongtian Sage, Jin'ao Island gathers the top spiritual veins of the primordial world.

In addition, the side hall of Biyou Palace is equipped with a spirit-gathering array, and the concentration of spiritual energy far exceeds that of the Undying Volcano.

In just half an hour, Kong Xuan felt that his spiritual power had recovered by 30%.

He did not stop and continued to practice his exercises.

The Five Elements principles are autonomous and compatible, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows into the body like rivers flowing into the sea.

Five colors of light—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—flowed around him, gradually merging into a chaotic color.

Although the divine light of the Great Dao has not yet been unleashed, the Daoist essence is already manifesting outwardly.

The sword image on the wall sensed this aura and trembled on its own, the sword energy resonating faintly with the chaotic halo.

This is the Daoist imprint left by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Kong Xuan remained unmoved, his mind focused.

What he needs to do is to completely improve his foundation!

Previously, elevating his innate foundation to the level of a low-grade Chaos Demon God had already caused his cultivation speed to skyrocket.

But the lowest level is just the beginning.

Chaos demons also vary in strength.

Before the great god Pangu created the world, three thousand chaotic demon gods held sway over the laws of the Great Dao. Among them, the strongest, such as Shichen Daoren and Yangmei Daxian, were all top-tier chaotic demon gods.

Their strength far surpasses that of ordinary saints.

"If I could elevate myself to the level of a top-tier Chaos God..."

A burning desire flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.

But he did not act immediately.

Each use of the Ascension Divine Power requires 90% of spiritual power, and the required spiritual energy increases as the level of the object being ascended increases.

The foundation of cultivation lies in one's roots, and the spiritual energy required for advancement is inevitably terrifying.

He needs to get into peak condition.

time flies.

Kong Xuan's aura grew increasingly powerful.

The spiritual energy inside the side hall was almost solidified, turning into swirling mist.

The Spirit Gathering Array was operating at full power, drawing upon the spiritual veins of Jin'ao Island.

The entire side hall was shrouded in a chaotic halo of light, and the aura of the Great Dao became increasingly intense.

The main hall of Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the side hall.

"Good lad, you actually managed to activate one-tenth of the spiritual veins of Jin'ao Island."

A slight smile played on his lips, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Jin'ao Island is a top-tier blessed land in the primordial world, with abundant spiritual veins that can easily supply the cultivation of all the immortals of the Jie Sect, including many quasi-saints at the peak such as Duobao.

Kong Xuan, who was only a quasi-saint, was able to draw upon one-tenth of the spiritual veins for his own use.

This speed at which they absorb spiritual energy is no less than that of a saint!

"The origins of the Chaos Demon God are indeed extraordinary."

The Master of Heaven muttered to himself.

He flicked his fingertips, and a sword intent pierced through the air, disappearing into the spirit-gathering array in the side hall.

Instantly, the power of the Spirit Gathering Array surged, increasing the speed of extracting spiritual veins by another 30%!

Inside the side hall, Kong Xuan seemed to sense something.

He noticed the change in the spirit-gathering array and understood.

This is the Tongtian Sect Leader helping him.

"In that case, let's not delay any longer!"

Kong Xuan took a deep breath; his spiritual power had reached its peak.

How immense is the spiritual power of a Quasi-Saint at the peak?

At this moment, the spiritual energy within his body was like a vast ocean, surging and turbulent.

But Kong Xuan knew that this was not enough.

With a thought, five-colored divine light emerged from behind him.

The five fundamental life feathers transformed into five pillars of light—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—rooted in the void, frantically devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although the Great Dao Divine Light was not unleashed, the Five-Colored Divine Light itself possessed the ability to devour spiritual energy.

At this moment, operating at full power, the speed at which spiritual energy flows in increases several times!

The side hall shook.

The sword image on the wall emitted boundless sword light, stabilizing the palace.

Throughout Jin'ao Island, countless disciples of the Jie Sect felt the same way.

"What's going on? Spiritual energy is converging towards Biyou Palace!"

"It's towards the side hall! Is that newly appointed vice sect leader cultivating?"

"This speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy... is simply terrifying!"

Wu Yunxian stood in front of the cave, his expression solemn.

His divine sense swept towards the side hall, but was blocked by a chaotic halo of light.

"Kong Xuan... what exactly are you doing?"

Inside the Long-Eared Immortal's Cave, the rabbit's ears stood up, and a cold glint flashed in its eyes.

"Such blatant absorption of spiritual energy—does the Jie Sect really think it's your backyard?"

He was filled with resentment, but dared not act rashly.

Since the Tongtian Sect Leader had allowed Kong Xuan to cultivate, he could not openly obstruct him.

The seven attendants, including Qiu Shou Xian and Ling Ya Xian, were all observing in secret.

In the main hall of Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed loudly:

"Pass down the order: all spiritual energy on Jin'ao Island is at the Vice Master's disposal."

"No disciple is allowed to approach within three days!"

The sound echoed throughout Jin'ao Island.

All the disciples were astonished.

Master actually went to such lengths for Kong Xuan?

Daoist Duobao accepted the order and personally guarded the outside of Biyou Palace to prevent any spying.

Inside the side hall, Kong Xuan had no more worries.

His spiritual energy had reached its limit, and his meridians were throbbing with pain.

But not enough.

"The spiritual energy required to establish oneself as a top-tier Chaos Demon God must be terrifying."

"We must compress our spiritual energy to its absolute limit!"

Kong Xuan's mind stirred again, and the five-colored divine light reversed.

The spiritual energy that had been absorbed no longer surged into the body, but was instead frantically compressed within the five-colored divine light.

The five colors of light—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—intertwined and gradually transformed into a chaotic color.

The aura of the Great Dao grew increasingly strong.

Finally, when the spiritual energy was compressed to the critical point, Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light!

"Now!"

"sublimation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, ninety percent of his spiritual power was instantly drained!

Inside the side hall, the chaotic halo of light suddenly contracted, turning into a single point.

That tiny speck, as small as a speck of dust, is as heavy as the myriad worlds.

The void twists, and time stands still.

The sword image on the side hall wall trembled violently, and the sword energy almost dissipated.

The Master of the Heavenly Sect frowned and waved his hand.

The phantom images of the Four Swords of Zhuxian appeared, suppressing the void.

The side hall was finally secured.

At this moment, a tremendous change is taking place within Kong Xuan's body.

That profound power surged into the source, reshaping the foundation.

Every inch of flesh and blood, every bone, and even every wisp of primordial spirit is undergoing transformation.

The origins of a low-grade Chaos Demon God already surpass those of all living beings in the primordial world.

But at this moment, Kong Xuan's foundation is moving towards a higher level.

In a short while, he advanced to the level of a mid-grade Chaos Demon God.

Kong Xuan did not relax and continued to recover his spiritual power and perform the sublimation.

Three days later.

After undergoing two more sublimations, Kong Xuan's foundation also reached the level of a top-tier Chaos Demon God.

The feeling of spiritual energy being drained returned, but Kong Xuan didn't care; instead, he was extremely excited.

"It's finally done!"

However, Kong Xuan had no idea what kind of scene Jin'ao Island had experienced in the past three days.
