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

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, then walked away.

There were many restrictions at the entrance of the cave.

Kong Xuan raised his hand and pressed down gently.

The restrictions were broken, as fragile as paper.

The great demon in the cave awoke with a start and roared in anger.

"Who dares to trespass into my cave!"

Before the words were finished, a red tiger charged out.

The tiger's body was enormous, like a mountain.

His entire body was wreathed in flames, scorching hot.

When Chi Hu saw Kong Xuan, he was taken aback.

He then sneered, "A mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal dares to come and die?"

Kong Xuan remained silent, simply standing with his hands behind his back.

Red Tiger squinted and sized up Kong Xuan.

Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, I became wary.

However, upon closer inspection of his cultivation level, it was indeed only at the mid-stage.

Chi Hu breathed a sigh of relief and grinned maliciously, "Since you're here, you're not leaving."

Before he could finish speaking, the tiger's claws shot out.

Flames blaze on its claws, capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

They went straight for Kong Xuan's face.

Kong Xuan did not move, but simply raised his hand.

Pointing out with one finger.

This gesture was unremarkable.

There was no light, no sign.

It's just a simple finger gesture.

But Chi Hu's expression changed drastically.

He sensed the power contained within that finger.

Horrifying, extreme.

Far exceeding the mid-term.

Even in later stages, it was not as good.

Red Tiger tried to hide, but couldn't.

That single finger gesture blocked all escape routes.

puff.

The force of the finger pierced through the tiger's claw.

Blood splattered.

The red tiger screamed and flew backward.

It crashed into the cave wall, creating a large crater.

Kong Xuan withdrew his hand and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Give me the jujubes."

His tone was calm, yet left no room for refusal.

Red Tiger got up, clutching his broken paw.

His face was filled with horror.

How could it be so strong in the mid-game?

That finger strike clearly possessed the power of peak strength.

Red Tiger was unwilling to accept this, but dared not fight again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Here, take it."

He turned and walked deeper into the cave.

He took a jujube and handed it to Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan took it and sensed it for a moment.

The jujubes are full of spiritual energy and have been aged for a sufficient period of time.

He nodded and put it away.

He turned to leave.

Chi Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

Kong Xuan took two steps, then stopped.

He turned around and looked at Red Tiger.

Chi Hu's heart tightened: "Is there anything else, Senior?"

Kong Xuan said calmly, "I want all three."

Red Tiger's expression changed: "You!"

Kong Xuan looked at him calmly.

Red Tiger gritted his teeth, his mind in turmoil.

Here you go, you've lost three jujubes.

If I don't give it to them, I might die.

In the end, he compromised.

Remove the remaining two jujubes.

I offer it with both hands.

Kong Xuan took them and put them away carefully.

He turned and left without looking back.

Chi Hu slumped to the ground, his face full of bitterness.

Ten thousand years of hard work, all lost in a single day.

But how?

In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak.

To be alive is already a blessing.

Kong Xuan left the cave and found a secluded place.

He sat under the tree and took out a jujube.

The jujubes are crimson red, like flames gathering.

It's warm when held in the palm of your hand.

Kong Xuan opened his mouth and took a bite.

The fruit pulp melts in your mouth, turning into a warm sensation.

It surged into every part of the body.

Where the heat flows, the meridians feel refreshed.

The internal Dao power increased slightly.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the ball of light flickered faintly.

It absorbed some of the power of the fire dates.

Kong Xuan finished eating in a few bites and closed his eyes to refine the food.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes.

His cultivation improved by a hair's breadth.

Although not obvious, there is indeed an improvement.

He took out another egg and fed it to the egg in his sleeve.

The eggshell automatically absorbs the jujube upon contact.

The jujube flesh transformed into a magical liquid, seeping into the eggshell.

The patterns on the eggshell gleamed slightly.

The aura inside had intensified.

Kong Xuan nodded and continued feeding.

After eating the second one, the egg became even shinier.

He took out the third one.

After hesitating for a moment, I fed it to the egg anyway.

The roc needs to grow.

May you take human form soon and begin your spiritual practice soon.

I'm not in a hurry; I have plenty of time.

Three jujubes, two of which were used to feed the eggs.

The patterns on the eggshell became 30% brighter.

The aura inside had increased by 30%.

At this rate, it will take another hundred years.

Then the roc can transform into human form.

Much earlier than the previous life.

Kong Xuan was satisfied and got up to continue his westward journey.

We learn and grow along the way.

Seize the opportunity when it arises.

Avoid danger.

I will intervene when I encounter injustice.

When faced with a strong enemy, we will fight.

The days passed by.

His cultivation level steadily improved.

The bottleneck of the mid-stage peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It's getting looser.

It was just one step away from victory.

On this day, Kong Xuan traveled to a vast sea.

The sea is vast and boundless.

The seawater was deep blue, with surging waves.

Kong Xuan stopped and looked out at the sea.

This sea is the East China Sea.

One of the four great seas of the primordial era.

Deep in the East China Sea lies a Dragon Palace.

There are countless sea creatures.

There are countless opportunities.

After a moment's thought, Kong Xuan decided to go to sea.

Although the East China Sea is dangerous, it also offers many opportunities.

In his previous life, he gained many benefits in the East China Sea.

Perhaps in this life, I will meet someone even better.

Kong Xuan lifted his foot and stepped into the sea.

The seawater parted automatically, making way for the road.

He walked step by step into the deep sea.

The further down you go, the greater the pressure becomes.

But the physical body of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is sufficient to withstand it.

Upon reaching a depth of a thousand feet, all around was utter darkness.

However, Kong Xuan's divine sense was more effective than his eyes.

The entire area, spanning thousands of miles, is within our perception.

There are mountains and valleys on the seabed.

There is coral and seaweed.

There are swimming fish and giant beasts.

Kong Xuan crossed the trench and traversed the sea mountain.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Ahead, there is an underwater canyon.

The canyon was deep and dark.

But deep within the canyon, there was a faint light.

Kong Xuan probed with his divine sense and was overjoyed.

At the bottom of the canyon, there is a rock.

The stone is the size of a fist and completely transparent.

There was a ray of light inside, constantly flowing.

Innate Qi.

It is also innate energy.

Moreover, it's richer and purer than the last one.

Kong Xuan lifted his foot and walked towards the canyon.

The further down you go, the greater the pressure becomes.

But he ignored it and went straight down.

Reaching the bottom of the valley, he reached out to grab a stone.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

A dark shadow darted out from the mud and sand beside the rock.

It moved with lightning speed, heading straight for Kong Xuan's throat.

Kong Xuan remained expressionless and raised his hand to block.

clang!

The sound of metal clashing.

The dark figure was forced back, and Kong Xuan also took a step back.

He looked down at his hand and saw a white mark on the back of it.

It almost broke the skin.

Kong Xuan squinted and looked at the dark figure.

It's a snake.

The snake was not large, about three feet long.

Its entire body is jet black, and its scales are as hard as iron.

Its snake-like eyes were blood red as it stared at Kong Xuan.

It flicked its tongue and hissed.

Kong Xuan was slightly startled.

This snake is not a demon.

It is an ancient, exotic species.

The Sky-Swallowing Python.

Although he is not yet an adult, he already possesses the strength of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The Devouring Python is known for its ability to devour.

It can even swallow the sky, let alone a person.

Kong Xuan dared not be careless and focused his attention.

The Devouring Python stared at Kong Xuan, then looked at the stone.

Clearly, it is also protecting this innate energy.

Kong Xuan said, "Give me the stone, and I'll leave."

The Devouring Python hissed twice, its eyes filled with ferocity.

No.

Kong Xuan sighed, "Then we'll have no choice but to fight."

Before the words were even finished, the Devouring Python made its move.

The snake sprang forward like an arrow.

The speed is extremely fast.

Kong Xuan stepped aside to avoid it.

The giant python lashed out with its tail, aiming for the back of Kong Xuan's head.

Kong Xuan lowered his head and avoided the view.

The Devouring Python launched a continuous barrage of attacks, one after another.

It is incredibly fast and incredibly powerful.

Far surpasses others in its class.

Kong Xuan fought and retreated, inwardly praising the victory.

This Sky-Devouring Python truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient and exotic species.

If it were someone else, they would be a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

They've already lost.

Unfortunately, it encountered Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan stopped in his tracks and refused to retreat.

He raised his hand and pointed out with one finger.

This single finger strike contained seventy percent of his Dao power.

With finger strength like a sword, it pierced the seven-inch mark of the Heaven-Swallowing Python.

The Devouring Python dodged in a flash.

But Kong Xuan's second finger had already arrived.

Third finger, fourth finger.

The fingers pointed in quick succession, like a torrential downpour.

The Devouring Python couldn't dodge in time and was struck by a finger.

Scales shattered, and blood splattered.

The Devouring Python hissed, its eyes gleaming with even greater ferocity.

He opened his mouth and spat out a beam of black light.

Where the black light passed, the seawater evaporated.

Even the void trembled.

Kong Xuan dared not take the blow head-on and dodged it.

The black light missed its target and struck the seabed.

It blasted out a huge crater, the bottom of which was nowhere in sight.

Kong Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

The Devouring Python's innate divine ability: Devouring Light.

If you get hit, everything will be swallowed up.

Even the primordial spirit cannot escape.

We can't fight head-on; we have to outsmart them.

Kong Xuan moved swiftly, weaving through the canyon.

The Devouring Python pursued, continuously spewing out its devouring light.

The canyon was riddled with holes from the bombing.

Kong Xuan dodged while observing, looking for a weakness.

Finally, he discovered it.

Each time, the Devouring Python spews out a light of devouring.

There will be a momentary stiffness.

Though short, it is enough.

Kong Xuan took a deep breath and made a decision.

He deliberately created an opening to lure the Heavenly Python into attacking.

The Devouring Python fell for the trick and opened its mouth to spew out black light.

Kong Xuan was prepared and dodged away.

Then, they rushed to the Devouring Python at top speed.

One finger touched its seven-inch spot.

This time, I used all my strength.

puff.

The finger pierced through the snake's body.

The Devouring Python screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Kong Xuan stopped and took a few steps back.

The Devouring Python struggled a few times, then stopped moving.

He's not dead, but he's seriously injured.

Kong Xuan looked at it, feeling a pang of pity.

Cultivation is not easy, so why strive so hard?

He raised his hand and forced out a drop of blood from his fingertips.

It was flung into the mouth of the Heaven-Swallowing Python.

"This is the essence of the Phoenix Clan; it can help you heal your injuries."

"I'll take the stone as compensation."

The python swallowed the blood essence, and its wounds began to heal.

It looked up and glanced at Kong Xuan.

The fierce glint in his eyes had vanished, leaving only a complex expression.

Turn around and swim into the darkness.

Kong Xuan watched it leave, then turned and picked up the stone.

The stone felt cool to the touch, and possessed a rich, innate energy.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the ball of light flickered violently.

Desire, eagerness.

Kong Xuan gripped the stone tightly, not in a hurry to absorb it.

Let's leave here and find a safe place.

He lifted his foot and swam upstream.

After leaving the canyon, we found an underwater cave.

He sat in the cave and took out the stone.

Circulate the energy through the practice, guiding the innate Qi.

The primordial energy surged into the sea of ​​consciousness, and the ball of light absorbed it.

One strand, two strands, three strands.

The light cluster grew brighter and brighter.

The innate energy within the stone gradually dried up.

Finally, the stone shattered.

All the innate energy was absorbed.

The light cluster brightened by another 20%.

The light now shines twice as brightly as it did at first.

Brilliant as the blazing sun.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, radiant light shone forth.

Kong Xuan looked inward and felt joy in his heart.

At this rate, it won't be long.

Supernatural powers can transform one.

At that time, the sublimation effect will double.

Breakthroughs in cultivation will also be faster.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

It has just absorbed the innate energy.

It needs to be consolidated and refined.

Spiritual energy surged into the cave.

The power of Tao flows and circulates, like rivers and streams.

The bottleneck of the mid-stage peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It's getting looser.

It seemed as if it would shatter at any moment.

Kong Xuan was not in a hurry; he would accumulate experience gradually.

Once you've accumulated enough experience, you'll naturally break through.

Forcing a breakthrough will only destabilize the foundation.

In this life, he will proceed steadily and surely.

Every step was taken firmly.

Each layer was perfected.

Only in this way can we reach the state of Hunyuan.

Only then can one reach the highest point.

Only then can one see the true nature of this world.

Only then can we break through the great terror that Lao Tzu spoke of.

Kong Xuan immersed himself in cultivation, forgetting about time.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

His eyes gleamed with golden light.

Late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It became.

The power within his body surged like a great river.

It is more than ten times stronger than in the middle period.

Kong Xuan clenched his fist, feeling the power.

His physical body has also become much stronger.

His bones were like jade, and his veins like dragons.

The blood circulated, making a rumbling sound.

He got up and walked out of the cave.

The seabed was dark, but to him it was as bright as day.

His divine sense reached out, covering a million miles.

Deep in the East China Sea, countless sea creatures roam.

There are dragons, mermaids, and giant beasts.

There was a powerful aura, and also faint creatures.

Kong Xuan withdrew his divine sense and lifted his foot upward.

It's time to get ashore.

Three years of seclusion yielded fruitful results.

With a breakthrough in cultivation, one's supernatural powers become even stronger.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the light shone as brightly as the blazing sun.

It is three times brighter than before.

The transformation is just one step away.

Kong Xuan walked on the water, and the waves parted automatically.

Half a day later, they arrived at the shore.

He landed and looked back at the East China Sea.

The sea was calm and the waves were not turbulent.

But deep in the ocean, undercurrents surge.

Just like this primordial wilderness.

On the surface, all is calm, but beneath lies a deadly undercurrent.

Kong Xuan turned around and continued westward.

After walking for half a day, a city appeared ahead.

The city is not large, but it is magnificent.

The city walls are high and the city gates are wide.

Three large characters are carved on the city wall.

Xi Kunlun.

Kong Xuan paused, a slight thought stirring within him.

Xikunlun is the sacred site of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West is a primordial deity.

He was at the peak of Quasi-Saint, just one step away from becoming a Saint.

In his previous life, Kong Xuan had been here.

At that time, he had already been granted sainthood and came here to seek a miraculous medicine.

This life has come early.

Kong Xuan thought for a moment, then stepped into the city.

The city is bustling with activity, people coming and going.

Most of them are demon cultivators, with a small number of humans as well.

The market was bustling with activity, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares filled the air.

Kong Xuan strolled through it, his divine sense sweeping over everything.

Most items didn't meet his standards.

Suddenly, he stopped.

There's a stall ahead.

On the stall, there was a fragment of bronze.

The fragments were about the size of a palm and covered in rust.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy; it was completely unremarkable.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the light cluster flickered violently.

Kong Xuan was overjoyed.

It's good stuff again.

He walked over, squatted down, and picked up the shards.

It feels heavy and cold to the touch.

When divine sense probed in, all that remained was chaos.

I can't perceive anything.

But the light shone even brighter.

"How many?"

The stall owner was an old ape, a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Seeing Kong Xuan ask about the price, he smiled and said:

"Senior has a good eye; I picked up this fragment from the ruins."

"It is something I do, yet it is incredibly hard."

"Even a strike from a quasi-saint could not leave a trace."

Kong Xuan nodded: "How much?"

The old ape thought for a moment: "Five hundred high-grade spirit stones."

Kong Xuan was taken aback.

More spirit stones.

In his previous life, he had nothing.

In this life, I am penniless.

He paused for a moment, then spoke:

"If you don't have spirit stones, you can exchange them for other items."

The old ape sized up Kong Xuan and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing.

He smiled and asked, "What do you possess, senior?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment and took something out of his sleeve.

It is a piece of jade, about the size of a thumb.

It is entirely emerald green and has a smooth, lustrous texture.

It was the embryonic form of the innate spiritual treasure that we obtained last time.

After three years of nurturing, the jade's spiritual light shines even brighter.

Kong Xuan originally intended to use it himself.

But the fragments are even more precious.

He made a choice.

"A potential innate spiritual treasure can be cultivated into an innate spiritual treasure."

The old ape's eyes lit up.

A primordial spiritual treasure is a rare and precious gem.

Although it is only an embryo, it is priceless.

"Change!"

The old ape took the jade and carefully put it away.

Kong Xuan picked up the shards and turned to leave.

I left the market and found a quiet corner.

Take out the fragment and examine it carefully.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the ball of light flickered incessantly.

Kong Xuan circulated his internal energy, guiding the contents of the fragments.

The fragments vibrated, and the rust crumbled off.

Its true appearance was revealed.

It is a piece of bronze with ancient patterns engraved on it.

The intricate patterns embody the essence of Taoism.

Kong Xuan examined it carefully and was startled.

This is a fragment of a primordial treasure.

Although it is only a fragment, it contains a trace of the power of a supreme treasure.

It's a hundred times stronger than the spirit treasure fragment from last time.
