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

As soon as Kong Xuan finished speaking, ninety percent of the spiritual power in his body was drained.

A profound power appeared before him and instantly surged into his body's origin.

hum! ! !

The space around Jinji Ridge began to tremble, as if it could not withstand the impact of this force.

Immediately afterwards, various strange phenomena began to appear in the sky above Jinji Ridge, with colorful rays of light intertwining and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surging wildly.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this scene, Kong Xuan felt a pang of anxiety.

Although the secrets of heaven are not revealed during the great calamity, the sages cannot deduce who caused the strange phenomena.

However, if this strange phenomenon were to take shape, the disciples of the Chan Sect who were fighting at Sishui Pass not far away would probably be able to detect it.

Moreover, it's unknown whether that cunning old fox Zhunti is currently in Sishui Pass.

If he discovers the source of the strange phenomenon, he might rush to Jinji Ridge and forcibly convert me.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately used all his remaining magic power. Five-colored divine light surged out instantly, transforming into a dazzling five-colored ray of light that shot straight into the sky.

Wherever the five-colored divine light passed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was instantly suppressed.

The strange phenomenon forming above Jinji Ridge was also dispersed by the five-colored divine light, and the world returned to peace.

Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt his innate divine power, Sublimation, advancing at an extremely terrifying speed.

In just a moment, Kong Xuan felt that the sublimation technique had changed.

"It really works!"

Kong Xuan was overjoyed.

Originally, I was just trying it out with the mindset of using sublimation to sublimate the supernatural power of "sublimation," but I never expected that it would actually succeed.

Moreover, the effect of the sublimation far exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, the effect of this supernatural power far exceeded Kong Xuan's expectations.

Because once the process of sublimation is complete, the limitations disappear.

The sublimation ability, which could only be used once before, has not disappeared but can still be used.

"This...this is simply defying the heavens!"

Kong Xuan was overjoyed.

With this supernatural power, what choice is there left?

Naturally, we want it all, and we want it all to be elevated!

In this way, one can completely dissipate the quasi-saint cultivation and start cultivating the Primordial Chaos Dao again!

Only the path of Hunyuan is the true path to the Great Dao.

The path to Quasi-Sainthood is merely a means by which the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun imprisoned the upper limit of beings in the primordial world.

Kong Xuan sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his energy to restore his spiritual power.

Although the "Ascension" ability no longer has a limit on the number of times it can be used, each use requires 90% of one's spiritual power.

He just used "Sublimation" to enhance the "Sublimation" supernatural power, and his spiritual power is now less than 10%.

If it is not restored in time, it will be impossible to use the supernatural power of sublimation.

As the cultivation technique circulated, Kong Xuan gradually felt the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly flowing into his body.

"Um?"

Kong Xuan was taken aback when he sensed the concentration of spiritual energy around him.

The spiritual energy in the mortal realm was shockingly thin, far less than one ten-thousandth of what he had cultivated in the Undying Volcano.

The Undying Volcano is a treasure trove in the primordial world, with extremely rich spiritual energy. It is a sacred place for cultivation, especially for the Phoenix Clan.

Moreover, the Dragon-Han Calamity ended with Yuan Feng and the rest of the Phoenix Clan suppressing the Undying Volcano, Zu Long leading the Dragon Clan to suppress the Four Seas, and Shi Qilin leading the Qilin Clan as the auspicious beasts to conclude the calamity.

As the son of Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan was born with a deep connection to the Undying Volcano.

The spiritual energy there was like sweet dew to him, quickly replenishing his energy reserves.

"The spiritual energy in the mortal realm is indeed thin; no wonder cultivators find it so difficult to cultivate."

Kong Xuan sighed inwardly.

He knew that if he cultivated in this environment, it would probably take several years to recover to his peak condition.

With this in mind, Kong Xuan no longer hesitated and decided to immediately return to the Undying Volcano to quickly restore his spiritual power with the help of the spiritual energy there, and then use sublimation to improve his cultivation and foundation.

Kong Xuan stood up, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He left a wisp of his divine consciousness at Jinji Ridge to ensure that he could sense any movement there at any time.

Although he is now the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, shouldering the important responsibility of guarding Jinji Ridge, improving his strength is the most urgent task at present.

Only those with sufficient strength can remain invincible in the upcoming Investiture of the Gods calamity.

"If the Chan Sect and the Xiqi army attack Jinji Ridge, I will rush back immediately."

Kong Xuan thought to himself.

For him, who was at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, the distance from the Undying Volcano to the Golden Rooster Ridge was not far, and he could arrive in a short while.

Moreover, according to the original trajectory of the Investiture of the Gods, there was still some time before the Xiqi army attacked Sanshan Pass, which was enough time for him to improve his strength.

Without further hesitation, Kong Xuan flashed into a streak of multicolored light and sped toward the immortal volcano in the south.

He was incredibly fast, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

On Golden Rooster Ridge, only a wisp of divine consciousness remained, observing everything.

Outside Sishui Pass.

"Um?"

A figure slowly emerged from the void, looking in the direction where Kong Xuan had left.

The man was dressed in a cassock, his bald head was particularly striking, and he had no aura whatsoever.

"Peak Quasi-Saint... Could it be that Duobao has joined the fray?"

When Zhunti tried to deduce and investigate, he could not deduce anything.

During the great calamity, the secrets of heaven are not revealed.

But Zhunti can be certain that it was definitely not about stealing treasure.

"Strange, this aura is neither that of Daoist Duobao, nor a disciple of the Jie Sect, nor any of the peak Quasi-Saint experts I know."

Zhunti Daoren pondered to himself.

As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, Zhunti naturally knew everything about the powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

Especially those who reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, were all beings who listened to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun preach together in Zixiao Palace.

But the aura he had just experienced felt unfamiliar to him.

"Could he be a newly promoted peak Quasi-Saint?"

Zhunti Daoist's heart stirred, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was in turmoil, and many reclusive powerhouses appeared, trying to get a share of the spoils in this great calamity.

If a quasi-saint at the peak could be converted, the strength of the Western Sect would surely increase greatly.

Thinking of this, a strong desire arose in Zhunti Daoren's heart.

As a saint of the Western religion, he has always strived for the growth of the Western religion.

Although the Investiture of the Gods was a perilous event, it also presented an excellent opportunity for the rise of the Western religion.

If more powerful individuals can be converted during this great calamity, the future of the Western Sect will surely be brighter.

However, Master Zhunti did not act rashly.

In the Investiture of the Gods, the various forces are intertwined and complex, and a slight misstep could lead to disaster.

The owner of that aura was clearly no ordinary person.

Taking action rashly could lead to unnecessary trouble.

"Let's investigate first."

Zhunti Daoren thought to himself.

If we cannot deduce it, then we will use our divine sense to investigate!

Zhunti slowly closed his eyes, and the saint's divine consciousness surged out like a tide, spreading towards Jinji Ridge.

Just as his divine sense was about to reach Golden Rooster Ridge, a golden light suddenly appeared, blocking his divine sense from reaching it.

"Um?"

Zhunti Daoist frowned, secretly surprised.

The power contained in that golden light was extremely strong, even making him feel a slight tremor in his heart.

As a saint, his divine sense was incredibly powerful, yet it was blocked by a golden light, which he found unbelievable.

"Is this... the Mysterious Bird of Fortune from the Shang Dynasty?"

Zhunti Daoist carefully sensed the aura of that golden light and immediately understood.

As the imperial dynasty of the human race, the Shang Dynasty possessed extremely powerful fortune, especially the Black Bird of Fortune, which was the symbol of the Shang Dynasty and suppressed the fortune of the entire dynasty.

This is also why sages cannot interfere in mortal affairs.

If one forcibly interferes in matters of the mortal realm, the dynasty's destiny will intervene, and even a Heavenly Saint will suffer a backlash.

That golden light just now was clearly the power of the Qi Luck Mystic Bird.

"That creature is actually related to the Shang Dynasty."

Zhunti Daoren pondered to himself.

The Black Bird of the Shang Dynasty's fortune would not obstruct his divine sense without a reason.

Clearly, the owner of that aura had a very deep connection with the Shang Dynasty.

Zhunti shook his head slightly:

"If it's related to the Shang Dynasty, then that would be troublesome."

"However, during this great calamity, the secrets of heaven are not revealed. The matter that Fellow Daoist Laozi discussed with me..."

Having made up his mind, Zhunti headed towards the direction of the figure he had just seen.
