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

The World Destroyer trembled as he said, "Master, you..."

Kong Xuan raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm fine."

"It's just in a different form."

"Where the Tao is, I am."

The World Destroyer knelt and kowtowed.

Kong Xuan entered the main room and sat on a futon.

Its figure was semi-transparent, yet its aura remained powerful.

Little White rushed in from outside the door and pounced on him.

"Owner!"

But her body passed right through him.

Kong Xuan is light, is the Way.

It cannot be touched.

Little White cried, "Master, you can't touch me anymore."

Kong Xuan lowered his head and looked at her.

"But you can still see me."

"You can still hear me."

That's enough.

Xiaobai wiped away her tears and nodded.

Kong Xuan looked out the window.

The sky was purple, dotted with stars.

Everything remains the same.

A slight smile played on his lips.

"The road ahead is still long."

"But I'm not in a hurry."

"Walk slowly."

Little White was lying at his feet; although he couldn't touch her, she was there.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the bamboo, not daring to utter a sound.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured by.

Everything remains the same.

However, Kong Xuan is no longer the same Kong Xuan.

But he's still here.

This is enough.

......

Kong Xuan sat in the main room.

Its silhouette was translucent, as if formed from condensed light.

Little White lay at his feet, its head resting on his shadow.

I can't touch her, but she's there.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the purple bamboo, his eyes open, gazing at the main house.

I'm afraid to sleep, I don't want to sleep.

It fears that when it wakes up, its owner will be gone.

Three days have passed.

Kong Xuan did not move.

Five days have passed.

It still didn't move.

Ten days have passed.

He opened his eyes.

There was neither light nor darkness in his eyes.

Only peace.

Little White looked up: "Master?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Mm."

Xiao Bai asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Kong Xuan said, "I'm thinking about what I am now."

Xiao Bai tilted her head: "Aren't you Kong Xuan?"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "Yes and no."

"I am Kong Xuan, and I am also the Dao."

"It's the path that seals the black hole."

"But my consciousness is still there, my memories are still there."

"I am still me."

Xiaobai didn't understand, but she stopped asking.

Kong Xuan got up and walked out of the room.

The footsteps were very light and silent.

His body was translucent; sunlight shone through him and fell to the ground.

Destroyer rose and bowed respectfully: "Master."

Kong Xuan nodded: "You've worked hard these past few days."

The World Destroyer bowed his head: "It's not hard work."

Kong Xuan walked out of the courtyard and onto the street.

The pedestrians hurried by, and no one paid him any attention.

Because we can't see it.

He is the Tao, the light, and the formless.

If you don't want anyone to see it, then no one can see it.

Kong Xuan walked slowly through the city.

I watched the passersby, saw the rows of shops, and saw the children playing.

Everything remains the same.

He walked to the Hongmeng Palace.

The palace doors were open, and Hongmeng sat on a chair.

Kong Xuan entered the hall, and Hongmeng looked up.

"You've arrived."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Can you see me?"

Hongmeng said, "I can see it."

"Because I am the Lord of the Primordial Chaos Palace."

"Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, my eyesight is still good."

Kong Xuan sat in the secondary seat, his figure semi-transparent.

Hongmeng looked at him with a complex expression.

"What are you now?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment: "The embodiment of the Dao."

"It has form but no substance, it has spirit but no body."

"But consciousness remains, memories remain."

"It can see, it can hear, and it can speak."

"I just can't touch it."

Hongmeng remained silent for a long time.

"Is it possible to recover?"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "I don't know."

"Maybe yes, maybe no."

"unimportant."

Harmony asked, "What's important?"

Kong Xuandao: "Living is the most important thing."

"I'm still alive, that's enough."

Hongmeng nodded and asked no more questions.

Kong Xuan got up and walked out of the Hongmeng Hall.

Walking on the street, passing through the city gate, and leaving the Purple Gold Domain.

Hongmeng followed him out, stood at the city gate, and watched his back.

The translucent figure was almost invisible in the sunlight.

But he kept walking without stopping.

Hongmeng murmured to himself, "Kong Xuan, oh Kong Xuan."

"You sealed the black hole, saving everyone."

"But you yourself have become like this."

Is it worth it?

No one answered.

Kong Xuan has already gone far away.

He walked through the Purple Gold Domain and the Azure Cloud Domain.

We traversed the Crimson Fire Domain and the Mysterious Water Domain.

We traversed the Thick Earth Domain and the Gentle Breeze Domain.

We traversed the Thunder Domain and the Netherworld Domain.

Finally, we arrived at the Celestial Realm.

He climbed up the spiral mountain step by step.

The footsteps were very light and silent.

The wind passed through his body, and leaves fell to the ground.

We reached the top of the mountain.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain sat cross-legged in the hall, closing his eyes and entering meditation.

Kong Xuan sat opposite him.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain opened his eyes and looked at him.

His gaze was deep, as if he could see through everything.

"You've arrived."

Kong Xuan nodded.

The Celestial Realm Lord asked, "What are you now?"

Kong Xuandao said, "The Way."

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery nodded: "As expected."

"You took a path that no one had ever taken before."

"By embodying the Way, the Way resides within humanity."

Kong Xuan asked, "Is there still a road?"

The Celestial Realm Lord countered, "Do you want more?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "I'd like to."

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain remained silent for a moment.

"have."

"Above the Tao, there is another Tao."

"Your current path is the Path of Limitlessness."

"Above the limitless, there is also the primordial chaos."

"Above the primordial chaos, there is the boundless primordial chaos."

"Above the primordial chaos, there is the Great Dao Returning to One."

"Layer upon layer, endlessly."

Kong Xuan asked, "And what happens when we reach the end?"

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery shook his head: "There is no end."

"The Way has no end, it only goes further."

"The word you wrote when you sealed the black hole is the answer."

Kong Xuan remembered that word.

Road.

There is only one word: Dao (the Way).

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain said, "The Dao is not the end."

"It's the starting point."

"You start from the Tao and walk towards a more distant Tao."

"Every step is a new beginning."

Kong Xuan remained silent for a long time before standing up.

"I understand."

The Celestial Realm Lord asked, "Where to?"

Kong Xuandao said, "Keep going."

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery nodded: "Go."

"You have a long way to go."

Kong Xuan turned around and walked down the mountain.

Little White jumped onto my shoulder and held on tightly.

Although I can't catch her, she's there.

"Master, where are we going?"

Kong Xuandao said, "Go to the depths of the boundless."

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "Going again? Wasn't the black hole sealed off?"

Kong Xuandao said, "It's sealed off."

"But there is still a road there."

"Black holes are the opposite of Tao."

"The negative side is over, it's time to move on to the positive side."

Xiaobai didn't understand, but she didn't ask anymore.

Kong Xuan left the Heavenly Secrets Domain and entered the Void.

There was neither sky nor earth, neither light nor darkness.

Only nothingness.

His body was translucent and almost invisible in the dark.

But he can see it himself.

Because he is the Tao.

Where there is the Way, there is light.

It took ten days to travel.

The Boundless Divine Tree appeared ahead.

The tree is very large, with lush branches and leaves, and twinkling stars.

The face on the tree trunk opened its eyes and looked at Kong Xuan.

You've changed.

Kong Xuan nodded.

The tree-faced creature asked, "What are you now?"

Kong Xuandao said, "The Way."

Tree Face was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"it is good."

"very good."

"I have lived for countless years and have met countless people."

"But I have never seen anyone transform themselves into the Dao."

"You're the first one."

A leaf falls from the tree.

It's not golden; it's transparent.

Like crystal, like light.

It fell into Kong Xuan's palm.

The tree-faced creature said, "The Limitless Divine Leaf, its ultimate form."

"Carry it with you; it can help you attain enlightenment."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Thank you."

Tree Face said, "Go."

"The path of the Tao has no end."

"But every step counts."

Kong Xuan continued on his way.

After traveling for ten days, they arrived at the location of the Taoist scriptures.

The Taoist book floated in mid-air, its pages still turning.

On the blank page, the character "道" (Dao) was still there.

It's bigger and brighter.

Kong Xuan approached and placed his hand on the book.

My mind was completely absorbed in the book.

This time, he saw something different.

It's not information, it's a picture.

There is a person in the picture.

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black robe and with black hair.

Standing at the edge of the black hole, I jumped in.

A beam of white light shot into the sky, sealing the black hole.

That person was himself.

Kong Xuan watched calmly.

That's the path he walked.

No regrets.

The images flow.

The origin of the Tao.

Before chaos was created, before the primordial order was established.

A ball of light, suspended in nothingness.

That ball of light is the starting point of the Tao.

It split apart, transforming into countless points of light.

Scattered in chaos, scattered in primordial chaos, scattered in the boundless void.

Every point of light is a path.

Some people take this road, some people take that road.

No one went all the way to the end.

Because the Tao has no end.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and withdrew his hand.

He got it.

Taoist texts are not books.

This is a record of the Tao.

Everyone who embarks on the path of enlightenment leaves a page in the book.

Some leave behind chaos, some leave behind primordial chaos, and some leave behind the boundless void.

What did he leave behind?

He turned to the blank page and looked at the character "道" (Dao).

The words are glowing, they are pulsating.

It looks alive.

Kong Xuan raised his hand and wrote a line of text below the main text.

"To transform oneself into the Dao, seal the black hole, and save all living beings."

No regrets.

The handwriting is faint, but still legible.

After I finished writing, the pages of the book trembled.

The character "道" (Dao) shone even brighter.

Kong Xuan stopped and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked at the Taoist book.

The pages turned, making a rustling sound.

On the blank page, the line of text was glowing.

Kong Xuan smiled slightly and continued walking.

We have traversed abysses and cities.

We walked past the sacred tree, and then through nothingness.

Return to the Hongmeng world.

Purple Gold Domain, a residence.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the bamboo. When he saw Kong Xuan return, he stood up and bowed.

Kong Xuan nodded and walked into the main house.

Sit on the futon and close your eyes.

He did not practice spiritual cultivation.

I'm just thinking about it.

I thought of that line in the book.

The choice to transform oneself into the Tao.

Is it worth it?

The answer is yes, it is worthwhile.

Saving the people is not for the sake of the people.

It's for myself.

For that little something in my heart.

It's hard to explain, hard to define.

But it is.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The sky was purple, dotted with stars.

He suddenly remembered Yuan Feng.

I remember that bowl of soup.

It reminds me of the flames of the immortal volcano.

"Mother, your son is unfilial."

"We can't go back for soup."

"But my son doesn't regret it."

"Because my son saved many people."

"Including you."

The voice just fell.

Outside the window, a figure landed.

Dressed in white, with flowing white hair.

Yuan Feng.

She came from the beginning of time.

Kong Xuan was taken aback.

Yuan Feng stood in the courtyard, looking at the main house.

Gazing at that semi-transparent figure.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

"child."

Kong Xuan got up and walked out of the room.

Standing in front of Yuan Feng, his figure was semi-transparent.

Yuan Feng raised her hand, wanting to touch his face.

The hand passed through him.

I can't touch it.

Yuan Feng's tears fell silently.

"Child, you..."

Kong Xuan said, "I'm fine."

"It's just in a different form."

Yuan Feng shook her head: "You're lying to me."

"You sealed the black hole, saving everyone."

"But you yourself have become like this."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Yuan Feng asked, "Is it worth it?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "It's worth it."

"Because I saved my mother."

"They saved Little White."

"It saved everyone in the Hongmeng world."

Yuan Feng looked at him, tears streaming down her face.

But she didn't ask anymore.

She knew this son.

Once a decision is made, it will not be changed.

Kong Xuandao said, "Mother, the soup is delicious."

"Even though I can't drink it anymore."

"But I remember that taste."

Yuan Feng nodded and took out a bowl from her sleeve.

The bowl contains soup.

It was still steaming.

"Child, I brought some soup."

"Even though you can't drink it."

"But it might be good for you to take a look."

Kong Xuan lowered his head and looked at the bowl of soup.

The soup was very hot and smelled delicious.

He smelled it.

Although he is the Way, he is the Light.

But he could smell it.

That's the taste of my mother.

Kong Xuan smiled.

Her smile was faint, yet genuine.

"It tastes good."

Yuan Feng smiled too.

A smile through tears.

Mother and son faced each other, speechless.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured.

Little White lay on the threshold, watching them.

Tears welled in her eyes, yet the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the bamboo, head bowed.

I dare not look, I cannot bear to look.

As night deepened, the purple light became soft.

Yuanfeng put away the bowl and stood up.

"Child, I must go now."

Kong Xuan asked, "Where are we going?"

Yuan Feng said, "Return to the Primordial World."

"The Phoenix Clan needs me."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Take care, Mother."

Yuan Feng gazed at him for a long time.

"The same to you."

She turned and took flight.

Disappeared into the purple sky.

Kong Xuan stood in the courtyard, gazing in the direction she had disappeared.

He remained motionless for a long time.

Little White came over and rubbed against his shadow.

"Master, are you sad?"

Kong Xuandao: "I'm not sad."

"Because we'll meet again."

Xiao Bai asked, "When?"

Kong Xuandao: "I don't know."

"It definitely will."

He turned and went into the main house.

Sit on the futon and close your eyes.

The power of the Limitless Realm circulates within the body.

Although he no longer has a body.

Where there is truth, there is power.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light appeared at his fingertips.

White light, very weak, very pure.

He placed that little bit of light between Xiaobai's eyebrows.

Xiao Bai shuddered.

A warm power surged into my body.

Her cultivation level began to surge.

Early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Mid-term.

Later stage.

peak.

boom!

The Supreme Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos!

Little White's eyes widened: "Master, you..."

Kong Xuan said, "You've been with me for so many years."

"It's time to give you something."

Little White cried, "I don't want cultivation, I want my master to recover his body!"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "It will recover."

"It just takes time."

Xiaobai asked, "How long?"

Kong Xuandao: "I don't know."

"But I will wait."

He closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

Little White lay at his feet, gazing at him.

The translucent figure was almost invisible in the darkness.

But she can see.

Because he is the master.

Because she's a novice.

I will never leave.

Forever and ever.

I will not leave.

one year later.

Kong Xuan remained seated in the main house.

The translucent figure is even fainter than it was a year ago.

Like a thin mist, it could dissipate at any moment.

Little White lay at his feet, guarding him day and night.

She could see her owner fading.

But she didn't dare to say it.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the purple bamboo, his expression solemn.

He saw it too.
