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

Tree Face opened its eyes and looked at him.

"here we go again."

Kong Xuan nodded.

The tree-faced creature asked, "Where are we going this time?"

Kong Xuandao said, "In the beginning."

The tree-faced man remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"In the beginning, the origin of the Word."

"I have lived for countless years, and I have never been there."

"I don't dare to go."

Kong Xuan asked, "Why?"

Treeface said, "Because if you go, you might not come back."

"In the beginning was the beginning, and also the end."

"Once gone, it's time to be reborn."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Understood."

Treeface asked, "Are you still going?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Go."

The tree-faced creature remained silent.

After a long while, a leaf fell from the tree.

It's transparent, like crystal.

It fell into Kong Xuan's palm.

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

"Keep it with you, and it will ensure your memories remain."

"Even if you die in the beginning, you will remember who you are."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Thank you."

Tree Face said, "Go."

"If you don't come back, your little white dog will cry."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Turn around and keep going.

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.

That new page of text is still glowing.

"The beginning is the origin of the Tao."

Kong Xuan approached and placed his hand on the book.

My mind was completely absorbed in the book.

In an instant, he saw a road.

Starting from Taoist texts, it extends into the distance.

Passing through nothingness, passing through the void.

Towards the beginning.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and withdrew his hand.

Follow that road.

The road is long.

There is no end in sight.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Step by step, they walked steadily.

It's been ten years.

For ten years, there was only emptiness all around.

There was nothing there.

There was neither light nor darkness.

There is neither up nor down.

There is only a road.

The road was very narrow, only wide enough for one person at a time.

The floor is transparent, so you can see below.

Below is also nothingness.

Kong Xuan walked very slowly, but he never stopped.

Ten years later.

At the end of the road, a door appeared.

The gate was not large, and its height was no more than ten feet.

It is entirely white, with a restrained radiance.

There were no runes, no carvings.

It's just an ordinary door.

But Kong Xuan knew this was no ordinary matter.

Because his divine sense could not penetrate it.

Even a mid-stage Guixu cultivator's divine sense couldn't penetrate it.

Kong Xuan walked to the door and stopped.

He raised his hand and pushed the door open.

The door didn't move.

He channeled all his cultivation power, the strength of the mid-stage Returning to Nothingness realm, into his arms.

Push again.

The door moved.

It opened slowly, making a crisp sound.

Like jade objects colliding.

Behind the door, there was a ball of light.

White light, very bright, very pure.

It's so bright that people can't open their eyes.

Kong Xuan squinted and stepped inside.

He was enveloped in light.

Warm and gentle.

Like a mother's embrace.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and let Guang wrap him up.

I don't know how much time passed.

The light gradually dimmed.

He opened his eyes.

Before us lies a completely new world.

The sky was white, pure white like snow.

The earth was also white, pure white like jade.

There are no mountains, no water, and no trees.

There was only an endless white plain.

In the center of the plain, something is suspended in the air.

It is a bead.

It is about the size of a fist and completely transparent.

There is a light inside, very bright and pure.

Like the sun, like the stars.

Primordial Pearl.

Kong Xuan approached and raised his hand.

The beads did not resist.

It slowly floated into his palm.

It feels warm to the touch, like holding a ball of fire.

The Primordial Pearl disappeared into his palm.

Kong Xuan was startled.

An unprecedented power erupted within him.

Mid-stage of the Guixu period.

Later stage.

peak.

boom!

The Primordial Realm.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes, sensing the power within his body.

The power of the beginning is endless.

It's not a destination, it's a starting point.

The origin of all things.

He opened his eyes and gazed at the white world.

In the beginning, the origin of the Word.

He arrived.

But he understood that after the starting point, there would be another starting point.

The Tao has no end, only cycles.

From the starting point to the end point, and from the end point back to the starting point.

Round and round, endlessly.

Kong Xuan turned around and walked back the way he came.

After taking three steps, he suddenly stopped.

I turned around and glanced at this white world.

Thank you.

No one answered.

He continued walking.

Walk out of that door and walk back the way you came.

After ten years, I returned to the place where the Taoist scriptures were located.

The pages of the Taoist book continued to turn.

On the blank page, an extra line of text appeared.

"The Primordial Realm, the starting point of the Dao."

"Kong Xuan was the first person to get here."

Kong Xuan turned around and walked towards the Hongmeng World.

The Primordial Pearl slowly rotated within the body.

The white light is warm and gentle, like the warm sun in spring.

He walked very slowly.

Every step was taken firmly.

Ten years later, I returned to the Divine Tree of Limitless.

Tree Face opened its eyes and looked at him.

"You're back?"

Kong Xuan nodded.

Treeface asked, "Did you get it?"

Kong Xuan nodded.

Tree Face was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"it is good."

"very good."

"You are the first person to return from the beginning."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

The tree-face asked, "What did it look like in the beginning?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment: "White."

There's nothing there.

There is only one bead.

Tree Face nodded: "As expected."

"The starting point was originally empty."

Kong Xuan looked at it: "You've been there?"

Tree Face shook his head: "No."

"But I have seen men from the beginning of time."

Kong Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Who?"

The tree-faced figure said, "Pangu."

"Before he created the heavens, he went to the beginning."

"We obtained a wisp of the Primordial Pearl's essence."

"That's why they have the power to create the world."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Pangu.

That person who created the world.

I've been to Taichu before.

Treeface said, "But he only obtained a wisp of its essence."

"Unlike you, who got the whole bead."

"You are better than him."

Kong Xuan shook his head: "It's not about being strong."

"It's because we've gone far."

Treeface nodded: "That's true."

Kong Xuan turned around and continued walking.

Ten years later, we returned to the Hongmeng World.

Purple sky, golden land.

Everything remains the same.

He flew towards the Purple Gold Domain and landed at the entrance of the mansion.

The courtyard gate remains the same, and the purple bamboo grove remains the same.

The water still flows.

Little Whitey was lying on the doorstep, fast asleep.

Its tail was curled up around its body, and it huddled into a ball.

Kong Xuan squatted down and looked at her.

It's been ten years.

She waited another ten years.

Kong Xuan raised his hand and gently patted her head.

Xiao Bai woke up with a start and looked up.

Upon seeing Kong Xuan, he was stunned.

Then, they pounced on them.

"Master! You're back!"

Kong Xuan nodded: "You're back."

Xiao Bai asked, "Did you get it?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Got it."

Little White asked, "Where is the Primordial Pearl?"

Kong Xuan raised his hand, and a point of light appeared in his palm.

It's very bright and pure.

Like the sun, like the stars.

"Here, play with it as a bead."

Xiaobai took the light and held it in her palm.

The light was warm, shining on her face.

She smiled, a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"So beautiful."

"Even more beautiful than the Pearl of Return to Nothingness."

Kong Xuan got up and went into the main room.

Sit on the futon and close your eyes.

The power of the Primordial Realm flowed within his body.

It's not a rushing torrent, but a tranquil stillness.

Like a lake, it remains calm and undisturbed.

He opened his eyes and looked out at the purple bamboo forest.

The wind rustled through the bamboo leaves.

The stream flows on and on, never ceasing.

Everything remains the same.

Little White lay at his feet, playing with the luminous bead.

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

Everything remains the same.

But Kong Xuan knew that things were different now.

Because he has reached the starting point.

In the beginning, the origin of the Word.

But he understood that after the starting point, there would be another starting point.

The Way has no end.

Round and round, endlessly.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

This sitting has lasted for a century.

For a century, Kong Xuan remained unmoved.

Little White stood guard at the door, never leaving its side.

Mie Shi remained in the courtyard, not daring to utter a sound.

The purple bamboo forest has grown into a vast sea of ​​trees, covering the entire city.

The water flows on, never ceasing.

A hundred years later.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

His cultivation level has progressed from the early stage of the Primordial Era to the middle stage.

It's not fast, but it's very stable.

He got up and walked out of the house.

Sunlight streamed down, casting a purple glow like gauze.

Little White ran over: "Master, are we going out?"

Kong Xuan nodded.

Little White asked, "Where to?"

Kong Xuandao: "The primordial chaos."

"Go see your mother."

Little White jumped onto my shoulder: "I'll go with you."

Kong Xuan did not refuse.

A man and a fox flew out of the courtyard.

Destroyer followed behind.

Passing through the primordial chaos, passing through the primordial chaos.

Entering the primordial world.

The sky is azure, dotted with fluffy white clouds.

The land is vast and the mountains and rivers are like a painting.

Everything remains the same.

Kong Xuan flew towards the immortal volcano.

The flames still burned, and the sky was crimson.

In the Phoenix Palace, Yuan Feng was cultivating.

After a century apart, her cultivation has improved once again.

The peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal realm.

We are only one step away from the boundless chaos.

Upon seeing Kong Xuan enter, Yuan Feng stood up.

"Child, you've come."

Kong Xuan nodded: "I've come to see you."

Yuan Feng laughed: "Once in a hundred years, it's more punctual than anything else."

Kong Xuan took something out of his sleeve.

A leaf, transparent.

The Ultimate Divine Leaf, its final form.

"Mother, this is for you."

Yuan Feng took the leaf and was startled.

The power contained within the leaves far exceeded her imagination.

"This is……"

"The Divine Leaf of Limitless Infinity"

"Keep it with you, and your memories will remain."

Even after death, I will remember who I am.

Yuan Feng nodded and accepted the leaf.

Kong Xuan then took something out of his sleeve.

A flower, golden.

The Flower of Infinity.

"Mother, this is the Flower of Infinity."

"Refining it will allow one to break through the Chaos Limitless Realm."

Yuan Feng took the flowers, her hands trembling slightly.

"Child, you..."

Kong Xuan waved his hand: "No need to say more."

"You are my mother, that's only right."

Yuan Feng's eyes reddened slightly as she accepted the flowers.

Kong Xuandao said, "Mother, I should go now."

Yuan Feng was taken aback: "You're leaving so soon after arriving?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "I have other things to do."

"What is it?"

"Return to the Primordial Chaos."

"Someone is waiting for me."

Yuan Feng remained silent and nodded.

"Go."

"Your mother is waiting for you."

Kong Xuan turned around and walked out of the hall.

They stopped at the palace gate.

"Mother, the soup is delicious."

"I'll drink again next time I come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped out.

Yuan Feng stood in the hall, watching his back.

Tears streamed down her face.

But she smiled.

Her son went to the beginning.

I still remember her soup.

enough.

Kong Xuan flew out of the Immortal Volcano and headed towards Hongmeng.

Little White perched on my shoulder and asked, "Master, shall we return to Hongmeng?"

Kong Xuan nodded.

Xiaobai asked, "And then?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment: "Then, let's keep going."

"Beyond the beginning, there is a path."

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "There's another way?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "The Way has no end."

"In the beginning was just the starting point."

"Beyond the starting point, there is another starting point."

Xiao Bai seemed to understand but not quite, and didn't ask any more questions.

Kong Xuan flew into the chaos, passing through the primordial chaos.

Return to the Hongmeng world.

Purple sky, golden land.

Everything remains the same.

He landed at the entrance of the mansion.

Push the door open and enter.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured.

Everything remains the same.

Kong Xuan sat on a futon in the main room with his eyes closed.

The power of the Primordial Realm flowed within his body.

He suddenly remembered something.

What is above the beginning?

There is no record of this in Taoist texts.

The Heavenly Secrets Domain Master could not deduce it.

Even the tree-faced tree didn't know.

He'll have to find it himself.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The sky was purple, dotted with stars.

"No rush."

Take your time.

This sitting has lasted for another hundred years.

For a century, Kong Xuan remained unmoved.

Little White stood guard at the door, never leaving its side.

Mie Shi remained in the courtyard, not daring to utter a sound.

Everything remains the same.

A hundred years later.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

His cultivation level has progressed from the middle stage of the Primordial Beginning to the late stage.

He got up and walked out of the house.

Little White ran over: "Master, are we going out?"

Kong Xuan nodded.

Little White asked, "Where to?"

Kong Xuandao: "Taoist texts."

"Go find the answer."

A man and a fox flew out of the courtyard.

Destroyer followed behind.

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.

The words on that page about the beginning are still glowing.

Kong Xuan approached and placed his hand on the book.

My mind was completely absorbed in the book.

He's looking for it.

What lies beyond the beginning?

Overturning chaos, overturning primordial darkness.

Overturning the boundless void, overturning the primordial chaos.

Turn over the beginning.

There's one more page after that.

Blank.

There was nothing there.

Kong Xuan frowned.

A blank page means that no one has walked this path.

They don't even know the Taoist scriptures.

He withdrew his hand and stared at the blank page.

long silence.

"Since the Taoist scriptures don't know, I'll go on my own."

He turned and flew towards the direction of the beginning.

Little White cried out, "Master, wait for me!"

Kong Xuan did not stop.

Flying over nothingness, flying over the Boundless Divine Tree.

Fly over Guixu, fly over that white gate.

Entering the beginning.

The white world stretched as far as the eye could see.

Kong Xuan stood in the void, looking around.

There was nothing there.

Only white.

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

The Primordial Pearl slowly rotated.

The power of the primordial chaos surged within his body.

He is feeling.

Feel the end of this world.

One day.

Three days.

Ten days.

100 days.

Kong Xuan remained completely still.

Little White perched on my shoulder, too afraid to utter a sound.

Annihilation followed behind, not daring to disturb them.

At some point 100 days later.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

He sensed it.

At the end of this white world, there is a crack.

It is very small and very thin.

You can't see it at all unless you look closely.

Kong Xuan flew toward the crack.

It flew for a long time.

The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.

From the front line to the palm of one's hand.

From a palm to an arm.

From an arm to a person.

Within the crack lies nothingness.

It is not the nothingness deep within the infinite.

It is a more complete nothingness.

There was neither light nor darkness.

There is no Tao, no law.

There was nothing there.

Kong Xuan stood at the edge of the crack, gazing at the void.

A feeling I had never experienced before welled up inside me.

It's not fear.

It's unease.

He didn't know what existed in the void.

They don't even know the way.

Kong Xuan turned around and glanced at Xiao Bai.

"Wait for me here."

Little White nodded: "Master, be careful."

Kong Xuan stepped into the crevice.

He was enveloped in nothingness.

There is no direction, no distance.

there is no time.

He didn't know how long he had been walking.

It could be a moment, or it could be ten thousand years.

suddenly.

A glimmer of light appeared ahead.

It is very small and weak.

It stands out conspicuously in the endless void.

Kong Xuan walked toward that point of light.

The light grew larger and brighter.

Closer now, I can see it clearly.

It is a bead.

It is about the size of a fist and is completely black.

There was a faint light inside.

Like a light that's about to go out.

The bead floated in the void, slowly rotating.

Kong Xuan approached and raised his hand.

The beads did not resist.

It slowly floated into his palm.

It feels icy cold to the touch, like holding a piece of ice.

The bead disappeared into his palm.

Kong Xuan was startled.

An unprecedented power erupted within him.

Late Primordial Period.

peak.

boom!

The Realm of Chaos.

It is not chaos.

It is the chaos of the origin of chaos.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes, sensing the power within his body.

The power of chaos is endless.

It is neither the beginning nor the end.

It is the origin.

The origin of all things.

He opened his eyes and stared at the void.

"The Pearl of Nothingness".

"So you were here."

No one answered.

Kong Xuan turned around and walked out of the crack.

Step out of the crack and return to the white world.

Little White rushed over: "Master, are you alright?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "It's alright."

Xiao Bai asked, "Did you get it?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Got it."

Little White asked, "What is it?"

Kong Xuandao: "The Pearl of Emptiness".

"Older than the Primordial Pearl."

Xiaobai asked, "What's it for?"

Kong Xuandao said, "It can prove the state of chaos."

"Beyond the beginning, beyond the void."

"Beyond everything."

Xiao Bai seemed to understand but not quite, and didn't ask any more questions.

Kong Xuan turned around and flew towards the Hongmeng World.

Little White perched on his shoulder, with Annihilation following behind.

It flew for a long time.

Return to the Hongmeng world.

Purple sky, golden land.

Everything remains the same.

Kong Xuan landed at the entrance of the residence.

Push the door open and enter.

The purple bamboo grove rustled, and the stream murmured.

Everything remains the same.

He sat on a prayer mat in the main room, with his eyes closed.

The Void Pearl slowly rotated within the body.

The power of chaos flows through the meridians.

He suddenly remembered something.

The Void Pearl is the origin.

What lies above the origin?

do not know.

But he believed it must exist.

Because the Tao has no end.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The sky was purple, dotted with stars.

"No rush."

"Walk slowly."

Little White lay at my feet, playing with the Primordial Pearl.

The light beads rolled between her claws, emitting a soft white light.

Her eyes were bright, like two stars.

"Master, this bead is so beautiful."

"It's even more beautiful than the Pearl of Return to Nothingness."

Kong Xuan did not answer.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his body.

The power of chaos is flowing.

He is feeling.

Feel the essence of the origin.

To experience the essence of the Tao.

This sitting has lasted for a thousand years.
