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

Kong Xuan stood in the courtyard.

Purple light fell on my shoulders, like a layer of gauze.

Little White woke up and ran out to rub against his feet.

"Master, you've been sleeping for a long time."

"Three days."

"It's not that long."

Xiao Bai tilted his head: "What's next?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment: "Let's go see the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain."

He flew out of the courtyard and headed towards the Heavenly Realm.

Little White perched on my shoulder, the wind whistling past my ear.

Celestial Realm, Spiral Mountain.

Kong Xuan went up the mountain, walking very slowly.

The mountain is still the same mountain, and the road is still the same road.

But the people at the mountaintop are different.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain sat cross-legged in the hall, his face pale.

His cultivation level has dropped to the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Like a light that's about to go out.

Kong Xuan sat opposite him, looking at him.

"How does it feel?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain opened his eyes and smiled.

"fine."

"His cultivation is gone, but he is still alive."

That's enough.

Kong Xuan remained silent.

After a long silence, he spoke: "I will help you recover."

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery shook his head: "No need."

"I have lived for countless years, that's enough."

Your life is more important than my life.

Kong Xuan looked at him but said nothing more.

Some things are better left unsaid.

The Celestial Realm Lord asked, "Has the Reverse Path been sealed?"

"It's sealed off."

"In Taoist texts."

The Celestial Domain Lord nodded: "That's good."

He closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

Kong Xuan got up and walked down the mountain.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I looked back at the summit.

Spiral Mountain remains the same, and so does the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain.

But Kong Xuan knew that things were different now.

He turned and flew back to the Purple Gold Domain.

Inside the courtyard, the purple bamboo grove had grown even denser.

The stream flows on and on, never ceasing.

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.

My mind sank into my body.

The seed of the Tao shines brightly, and the source of the Tao flows continuously.

The Wuji Bead slowly rotates.

His cultivation was stable, and his state of mind was peaceful.

Everything remains the same.

But Kong Xuan knew it was too peaceful.

It was abnormally calm.

The reverse path was blocked, and the black hole disappeared.

But I always felt that something was about to happen.

He couldn't explain it, he couldn't articulate it.

It's just a feeling.

Like the calm before a storm.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The sky was purple, dotted with stars.

"Hope is an illusion."

Little Whitey was lying at his feet, dozing off.

Mie Shi cultivated himself under the bamboo.

Everything remains the same.

Three days later.

HarmonyOS has arrived.

His purple robes fluttered in the wind, and his expression was solemn.

"Kong Xuan, something's happened."

Kong Xuan stood up: "What is it?"

Hongmeng said, "The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain is dead."

Kong Xuan's expression changed.

"How did he die?"

"have no idea."

"I went to see him this morning, but he was already dead."

"He is in good health and has no external injuries."

"It's like... something has been taken away."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

What was taken away?

Cultivation? Soul? Or the Dao?

He flew out of the courtyard and headed towards the Heavenly Realm.

HarmonyOS followed behind.

We arrived at the top of Spiral Mountain.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain sat cross-legged in the hall, his eyes closed.

His face was pale, but his expression was serene.

It looked like it was asleep.

Kong Xuan approached and raised his hand to check his pulse.

No.

I checked his breathing again.

No.

really dead.

Kong Xuan stopped and looked at the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

This person passed on his cultivation to him.

Then, he died.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is it cause and effect?

Kong Xuan didn't know.

He closed his eyes and probed his divine sense into the main body of the Heavenly Mystery Domain.

It's empty.

There was nothing there.

Without cultivation, without soul, without the Dao.

Like an empty shell.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes, his expression grave.

He did not die of natural causes.

Hongmeng asked, "How did they die?"

Kong Xuandao: "It was taken away."

"The soul has been taken away, the Dao has been taken away."

"Only an empty shell remains."

Hongmeng's expression changed drastically.

"Who did it?"

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

"But in the Primordial World, there are very few who can kill the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain."

"You and I, that counts as two."

"The seven domain lords might be able to do it if they joined forces."

"But did they have a motive?"

Hongmeng remained silent.

The seven domain lords had no enmity with the Heavenly Mystery Domain Lord.

Why kill him?

Kong Xuandao: "There is one more person."

Hongmeng asked, "Who?"

Kong Xuandao: "The opposite of the truth."

Hongmeng was taken aback: "Wasn't the Reverse Path blocked?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "It's been sealed off."

"But is it possible for even a wisp of it to escape?"

Hongmeng's face turned deathly pale.

A single wrong turn can cause chaos and disorder.

One more strand, and that's going to be terrible!

Kong Xuan said, "Go and take a look at the Taoist books."

The two flew out of the Heavenly Mystery Domain and headed towards the depths of the Boundless Realm.

After flying for three 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.

The black ball is still there, pressed under the words.

They did not escape.

Kong Xuan approached and examined it carefully.

The seal is intact and undamaged.

They did not flee.

Kong Xuan frowned.

If it's not the opposite, then who is it?

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of someone.

No, it's not a person.

It is the Primordial Chaos Spirit.

The last primordial chaos spirit is dead.

The power was passed on to him.

But there are still eight.

When Pangu created the world, he destroyed eight primordial chaos spirits.

Are they really all wiped out?

Or perhaps some escaped the net?

Kong Xuan turned around and flew towards Chaos.

HarmonyOS followed behind: "Where to?"

"chaos."

"Go find someone."

"Who?"

"The last possible primordial chaos spirit."

The two flew out of the boundless void, passed through the primordial chaos, and entered the primordial chaos.

Chaos surged, and the gray fog stretched endlessly.

Kong Xuan stood amidst the chaos, his divine sense probing outwards.

It covers the entire chaos.

Inch by inch, the search continues.

I searched for a whole day and night.

could not find it.

Kong Xuan withdrew his divine sense, his expression solemn.

"No longer in chaos."

Hongmeng asked, "Where would that be?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment: "The Primordial World."

"Hidden in some corner, waiting for the right opportunity."

Hongmeng's expression changed drastically.

In the primordial world, there lies a chaotic primordial spirit.

What does that mean?

The Primordial Chaos Spirit is an existence from the same era as Pangu.

The cultivation level must be at least that of a Primordial Ruler.

Even higher.

If it wants to kill, who can stop it?

Kong Xuan said, "Go back."

The two flew back to the Primordial World.

Purple Gold Domain, a residence.

Kong Xuan sat in the main room, his eyes closed in deep thought.

Little White lay prone at my feet, too afraid to make a sound.

Mie Shi stood guard outside the door, his face solemn.

Hongmeng sat under the purple bamboo in the courtyard, waiting for Kong Xuan to speak.

a long time.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

"Before his death, the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain must have deduced something."

"He saw the person who killed him."

But he didn't have time to say it.

Hongmeng asked, "What do we do now?"

Kong Xuandao: "Find it."

"We must search the entire primordial world to find it."

"Before it makes a move."

Hongmeng nodded and stood up.

"I'll have the seven domain lords search together."

Kong Xuan shook his head: "Don't make a fuss."

"If you stir up trouble, the snake will hide even deeper."

Hongmeng nodded and sat down.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and extended his divine sense once more.

This time, it's not about covering.

It's a meticulous search, inch by inch.

Let's start with the Purple Gold Domain.

Every city, every street, every house.

Every person, every animal, every tree.

Neither let go.

I searched for three days and three nights.

could not find it.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes, his face looking exhausted.

The spiritual energy was greatly depleted.

Xiao Bai handed over a pill.

"Master, take a rest."

Kong Xuan took the pill and put it in his mouth.

Close your eyes and regulate your breathing.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and continued searching.

Qingyun Domain.

Three days.

No.

Crimson Fire Domain.

Three days.

No.

Mysterious waters.

Three days.

No.

Thick soil domain.

Three days.

No.

Qingfeng Domain.

Three days.

No.

Thunderous Domain.

Three days.

No.

The Netherworld.

Three days.

No.

The search of the Nine Realms took twenty-seven days.

There was nothing there.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes, his expression grave.

Not in the Nine Realms.

Where is it?

He thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

"There's another place."

Hongmeng asked, "Where?"

"Secret Realm"

"The Primordial Realm".

The two flew out of the courtyard and headed towards the entrance to the secret realm.

The secret realm is now closed.

However, Kong Xuan is in the realm of Wuji, which can be forcibly opened.

He raised his hand, and white light condensed.

With a single palm strike, a crack appeared in the space.

A blinding golden light shone from within the crack.

Kong Xuan stepped in.

HarmonyOS followed behind.

In the secret realm, the sky is golden.

The earth is golden.

Everything remains the same.

Kong Xuan extended his divine sense, covering the entire secret realm.

Search carefully, inch by inch.

I searched for it all day.

No.

Kong Xuan frowned.

Not in the secret realm.

Where is it?

He closed his eyes and focused his mind on his body.

The seed of the Dao trembled, and the source of the Dao flowed.

The Wuji Bead slowly rotates.

he was thinking.

I wonder what the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain might have been divinations before his death.

The Reversal of the Dao? The Primordial Chaos Spirit? Or something else entirely?

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Taoist texts".

"Before his death, the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain may have been deducing the Daoist scriptures."

Hongmeng was taken aback: "A Taoist text?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "The Taoist books record the past, present, and future of the Tao."

"The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain wants to find out who killed him from the Daoist scriptures."

"But he was killed before he could even see it."

Hongmeng's expression changed: "I don't want him to see the person who killed him."

Kong Xuan nodded: "So, the answer is in the Taoist scriptures."

The two flew out of the secret realm and headed towards the depths of the boundless void.

After flying for three days, they arrived at the location of the Taoist scriptures.

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

Kong Xuan approached and placed his hand on the book.

My mind was completely absorbed in the book.

In an instant, a flood of information poured in.

He flipped through each page.

Chaos, primordial chaos, the boundless void.

I read each page very carefully.

He stopped when he saw the blank page.

The character "道" is still there.

The small print is still there.

Below the character "可", there is an extra item.

A single hair.

It is very thin, very short, and completely black.

It's not human hair.

It is the fur of an animal.

Kong Xuan took out the hair and examined it carefully.

A trace of aura was contained within the hair.

It was very faint, so faint that it was almost non-existent.

But Kong Xuan sensed it.

That was the aura of the primordial chaos spirit.

He had seen it.

On that little man in the abyss of chaos.

The same.

Kong Xuan gripped his hair tightly, his expression grave.

It really is the Primordial Chaos Spirit.

There were also those who slipped through the net.

Hongmeng asked, "Who is it?"

Kong Xuandao said: "The Primordial Chaos Spirit."

"The one who escaped the calamity when Pangu created the world."

"It has been hidden for countless years, and now it has revealed itself."

Hongmeng asked, "Why did it want to kill the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain?"

Kong Xuan said, "Because the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain is looking for it."

"It doesn't want to be discovered."

"Therefore, it's best to strike first."

Hongmeng remained silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "How did you find it?"

Kong Xuan looked at the hair in his hand.

"Its scent lingers on this."

"I can find it by following its scent."

He closed his eyes and activated his cultivation.

The power of the Limitless Realm surged into his hair.

His hair trembled and emitted a ghostly light.

A wisp of breath wafted out from it.

Like a line, stretching into the distance.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and flew in the direction of the aura.

HarmonyOS followed behind.

The breath passed through nothingness, through the boundless, through the primordial chaos.

Finally, it landed in the primordial world.

Purple Gold Domain.

Kong Xuan's residence.

Kong Xuan stopped and looked at his own residence.

His expression changed drastically.

The end of the breath is here.

The primordial spirit of chaos was hidden in his residence.

Kong Xuan landed and pushed open the courtyard gate.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the bamboo, closing his eyes to cultivate.

Upon seeing Kong Xuan return, he rose and bowed.

"Owner."

Kong Xuan stared at him, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"Stand up."

Destroyer was taken aback and stood up.

Kong Xuan walked up to him and raised his hand.

White light gathered in his palm.

"Chaotic Primordial Spirit, how long are you going to keep up this act?"

Annihilation's expression changed.

"Master, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Kong Xuan did not answer.

He struck out with his palm.

A white light struck the chest of the World Destroyer.

The world-destroying creature flew backward and crashed into the purple bamboo forest.

The bamboo broke, and the leaves fell.

He got up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

But he was not injured.

Because that palm strike was blocked.

What blocked it was a layer of light.

Black light.

Destroyer lowered his head, gazing at the black light on his chest.

Then, I laughed.

His smile was cold and sinister.

"How did you find out?"

Kong Xuan said, "The death of the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain."

"There aren't many people who can kill him."

"You're one of them."

Destroyer nodded: "Anything else?"

"That strand of hair."

"Found it in a Taoist book."

"My aura matches yours."

After a moment of silence, the World Destroyer smiled.

"Old man Tianji, even on your deathbed you were plotting against me."

"He deliberately went to the Taoist temple and deliberately left that strand of hair."

"It's so that you can discover me."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

The World Destroyer raised his hand and tore off the skin from his face.

A stranger's face appeared.

Old, cold, with eyes like snakes.

The Primordial Chaos Spirit.

the last one.

Kong Xuan looked at him: "How long have you been hiding in the Primordial Chaos World?"

The Primordial Chaos Spirit said, "Endless years."

"When Pangu created the world, I was seriously injured."

"Hiding deep within chaos to heal its wounds."

"Now that my wounds have healed, there is no place for me in the chaos."

"Then he blended into the primordial world and became a rogue cultivator."

"Later, when I met you, I went with the flow and became your servant."

Kong Xuan asked, "Why did you want to kill the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain?"

The Primordial Chaos Spirit said, "Because he is deducing me."

"He's almost found me."

"I can't let him say it."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Understood."

He raised his hand, and white light condensed.

The Chaos Primordial Spirit also raised its hand, and black light condensed.

The two faced off.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured.

Little White hid inside the house, too afraid to make a sound.

Hongmeng stood in the courtyard, his expression solemn.

Kong Xuan asked, "How do you plan to fight?"

The Primordial Chaos Spirit said, "You can't beat me."

"You've just recovered, and your cultivation is unstable."

"I have nurtured myself for countless years, and my cultivation has long surpassed that of the Primordial Ruler."

Kong Xuan shook his head: "We'll only know if we try."

With a single palm strike, a white light flashed like a ribbon.

The Chaos Primordial Spirit met the attack with a palm strike, its black light as inky as ink.

Black and white collided and exploded with a deafening roar.

The house was razed to the ground.

The purple bamboo forest has been reduced to fragments, and the flowing water has ceased.

Kong Xuan staggered back ten steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The Chaos Primordial Spirit took three steps back, its expression unchanged.

"I told you, you can't beat me."

Kong Xuan wiped away the bloodstains and remained silent.

They made their move again.

This time, we're going all out.

The power of the Limitless Realm is unreserved.

White light condensed into a long sword, twelve feet long.

He slashed down with a single stroke.

The Chaos Spirit raised its hand, and black light condensed into a shield.

The blade struck the shield, sparks flying.

A crack appeared in the shield.

It wasn't broken.

The Chaos Spirit struck Kong Xuan in the chest with a backhand palm strike.

Kong Xuan was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.
