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

As the system's light spot dissipated, the lightning tribulation above Jinji Ridge also slowly disappeared due to the loss of its target.

"A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal-level system dares to be so insolent in front of me?"

Kong Xuan sneered inwardly, then felt a strange power surge from the system and merge into his body.

This power wasn't particularly strong, but it carried a mysterious aura, as if it could change everything.

"This is......?"

Suddenly, Kong Xuan discovered that he had gained a new talent, or rather, a unique innate ability.

sublimation!

Kong Xuan was startled, and information about this supernatural power surfaced in his mind.

Sublimation, as the name suggests, is the ability to elevate all things.

Whether it's cultivation level, magical treasures, supernatural powers, or even the essence of life, all can be elevated to a higher level through sublimation.

The only limitation is that it can only be used once.

After use, this supernatural power will completely dissipate.

It's equivalent to a one-time supernatural power.

"Such heaven-defying supernatural power!"

Kong Xuan was overjoyed, and his previous despair vanished.

With this supernatural power, he might actually be able to find a glimmer of hope in this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods!

Putting aside everything else, wouldn't elevating one's cultivation level be the direct path to sainthood?

Although Kong Xuan knew that the sages were nothing more than lackeys of the Way of Heaven.

However, he had already embarked on the path of Quasi-Saint. If he were to cultivate the path of Hunyuan, he would only be able to cripple his cultivation and fall back to the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility of rebuilding.

Moreover, Kong Xuan was still very uneasy about sublimating this supernatural power.

The fluctuations in that system were only at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

If he were to abolish his cultivation and the effect of the sublimation was so poor that he could only reach the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, he would be at a huge loss.

Moreover, the idea of ​​"raising it to a higher level" is too general.

If we're talking about cultivation level, is it a major realm advancement or a minor realm advancement?

The Quasi-Saint realm is essentially the same as the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

However, they simply took different paths.

He is now at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

Moreover, they have already reached this level countless eons ago, and are only one step away from becoming a sage.

Although it was just the final step, the destiny ordained by Heaven only included Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the two Western Saints.

Even the Primordial Purple Qi is limited.

Without the Primordial Purple Qi, you can't even be one toe short of the goal, let alone be just one step away.

Even if it's just a small upgrade to this supernatural power, as long as it helps me break through the shackles of my cultivation level, it's worth it.

At least, he was at the peak of Quasi-Saint at this moment, and even a small level would allow him to rise to the realm of Heavenly Saint.

The Heavenly Saint is already immortal and indestructible!

Even if someone is killed, the Heavenly Dao will revive them.

Although the restrictions are only in the primordial wilderness, my life is in danger now, so why worry about so much?

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan couldn't help but feel excited.

"If this move really works, then I'll have a way to break the deadlock."

However, Kong Xuan did not use this supernatural power directly.

Instead, carefully sense your innate supernatural power—the Five-Colored Divine Light!

The Five-Colored Divine Light is evolved from five natal feathers, and consists of five colors: blue, yellow, red, black, and white. It can brush away anything within the five elements.

Whether it's a magical artifact, a weapon, or a deity or demon, once it's caught, it will be captured and cannot escape.

Such an overpowered divine ability, combined with Kong Xuan's own peak Quasi-Saint cultivation, truly makes him worthy of the title of the strongest below the Saint.

Moreover, the Five-Colored Divine Light also has a defensive effect, although... it's rather useless.

If even the Five-Colored Divine Light cannot defeat it, then it must be a saint.

But when a sage intervenes, this level of defense is no different from having none at all.

"If we sublimate the Five-Colored Divine Light and enhance it, perhaps we can put up a fight against that cunning old man, Zhunti."

Kong Xuan's mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts, as if countless threads were tangled together, making it difficult to unravel.

Although he already possesses the heaven-defying divine power of "sublimation," which can help him break through to the realm of Heavenly Saint, this does not mean that he can completely escape his current predicament.

The fate of the Shang Dynasty remains uncertain, while the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods seems to have been predetermined.

As the son of Yuan Feng, he bears the karma between Yuan Feng and the Yin Shang Dynasty.

If the Shang Dynasty were to perish, he would inevitably suffer a tremendous karmic backlash.

"Even if I break through to the Heavenly Dao Saint realm, if the Yin Shang dynasty perishes, the karmic backlash will likely make it difficult to preserve my realm."

Kong Xuan pondered to himself.

Kong Xuan knew that the realm of a Heavenly Sage could not be maintained by power alone, but required the recognition and support of the Heavenly Dao.

Did you not see that the last wisp of primordial purple energy also disappeared with the death of Hongyun?

What does it mean when something disappears?

It's just that the way of Heaven is extremely unfriendly to variables.

Even if it means the last wisp of primordial purple energy disappears, they would rather not have one more Heavenly Saint.

If one were to forcefully break through through ascension and become a Heavenly Saint, but without the blessing of Primordial Purple Qi, the Heavenly Dao might not recognize his status.

Once the karmic backlash arrives, his cultivation level is very likely to plummet, or he may even be reduced to his original state.

At that time, given Zhunti's cunning nature, he will surely make another move to forcibly convert him and take him as his mount.

Thinking of this, a chill ran through Kong Xuan's heart.

Below the level of a saint, all are but ants. Even though he possessed the cultivation of a quasi-saint at its peak and his five-colored divine light could sweep away anything, he still appeared insignificant in front of a true saint.

As a saint of the Western Sect, Zhunti Daoist's methods are unpredictable. If he were to make a move again, Kong Xuan would likely find it difficult to withstand him.

"Am I truly unable to escape this dead end?"

Kong Xuan sighed inwardly.

Then he looked up at the sky, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope in the heavens.

However, Heaven is merciless. The Investiture of the Gods was ordained by Heaven to fill the divine positions in the Heavenly Court. The demise of the Shang Dynasty seemed to have been predetermined.

The defeat of the Jie Sect was already inevitable.

Even if he were to break through to the Heavenly Dao Saint realm, he would not be able to change the will of Heaven.

Kong Xuan fell into deep thought.

Sublimation can elevate everything, raising it to a higher level.

But it can only be used once.

This greatly limited Kong Xuan.

If it happened more often, Kong Xuan wouldn't be so worried.

With a complete upgrade of cultivation, supernatural powers, background, comprehension, and so on, and a period of quiet development, not to mention that guy Zhunti, even Hongjun Daozu might be able to put up a fight!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Kong Xuan.

Can sublimation sublimate everything?

If we use sublimation to sublimate "sublimation"...

Kong Xuan's eyes lit up, and he then used Sublimation.

If this is possible, why worry about the Investiture of the Gods and Zhunti?

And it's a good opportunity to test the effects of this supernatural power.

Is it about moving up a small level or a large level?

With his thoughts settled, Kong Xuan no longer hesitated and mobilized the spiritual energy within his body to activate this divine power.

"Sublimation!"
