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

Kong Xuan stood by the pool, still pondering Tongtian's indifferent attitude.

Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian neither refused nor agreed to anything.

He simply said, "You may leave now."

These words are exactly the same as those spoken in the illusion.

Kong Xuan wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or something else.

He gazed at the pool, its surface calm, reflecting the sky and clouds.

Suddenly, the water surface moved.

It wasn't blown by the wind, nor swam by the fish.

A vortex arises from the very center.

The vortex was initially very small, only the size of a fist.

In the blink of an eye, it expanded to cover the entire pool.

The speed was unbelievable.

Kong Xuan frowned and lifted his foot to step back.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, it froze in mid-air.

A suction force surged from the vortex and enveloped him.

The suction power is not strong; in fact, it can be described as gentle.

But Kong Xuan's expression changed.

He is at the peak of Quasi-Saint.

There are few things in this world that can move him.

There are even fewer things that can make him act against his will.

But now he was caught in a whirlpool that he couldn't control.

His body slowly leaned forward under the suction.

He channeled his Dao power, trying to break free.

The power of the Dao surged forth like a torrent or a tsunami.

But when the Dao force touched that suction force, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

They disappeared without a sound.

Kong Xuan felt a slight unease.

He then activated the power of his primordial spirit to protect his sea of ​​consciousness.

But as soon as the primordial spirit moved, the suction force seeped into the body.

Like a spring breeze on the face, like a gentle rain nourishing all things.

It is gentle, yet irresistible.

Kong Xuan's pupils constricted slightly.

He activated his sublimation supernatural power.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a bright ball of light shone forth, its radiance boundless.

Light burst forth, resisting the suction force.

This was Kong Xuan's last resort.

The power of sublimation can sublimate everything.

If even the Dao can be elevated, what about mere suction force?

But when the light touched the suction, the suction trembled slightly.

The light was then bounced back.

Kong Xuan was completely stunned.

The attempt to sublimate supernatural powers proved ineffective.

This has never happened before.

Since gaining supernatural powers, I have never made a mistake.

But this time, it failed.

Kong Xuan didn't have time to think, and the suction suddenly increased.

His figure was pulled into the vortex.

Water splashed everywhere, then returned to calm.

The pool has been restored to its original state, its surface as smooth as a mirror.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But Kong Xuan has already disappeared.

My vision went dark for a moment, then brightened again.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and found himself standing in a desolate wilderness.

The sky and earth are vast and desolate.

The ground beneath my feet was dark red.

It looked like it had been soaked through with blood.

There was no sun or moon in the sky, only a layer of hazy gray light.

The air was heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and probed out with his divine sense.

Divine consciousness surged like a tide, spreading in all directions.

Ten thousand miles, a hundred thousand miles, a million miles.

Then, Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

A look of shock crossed his eyes.

He discovered that there were no saints in this world.

not a single one.

Even quasi-saints are pitifully few.

The beings with the highest cultivation levels are some ancient beings.

Their aura is ancient, savage, and brutal.

He was completely different from the Taoist practitioners of later generations.

These scents reminded Kong Xuan of something.

Some things from a very long time ago.

In his previous life, he had read it in a fragment of a scroll.

Those tattered scrolls record the oldest secrets of the primordial era.

After the creation of heaven and earth, the world was first formed.

The chaotic energy had not yet dissipated, and ferocious beasts roamed freely.

That was the first great eon in the primordial world.

A calamity caused by ferocious beasts.

Kong Xuan paused slightly in his breathing.

He got it.

He time-traveled again.

And this time, it's even further than the last time.

He traveled to the era of the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts.

The primordial world had just stabilized, and the myriad races had not yet risen.

The dragon, phoenix, and qilin are still dormant.

The lich has not yet been born.

Humanity is even more distant and unimaginable.

Kong Xuan lowered his head and looked at his hands.

His cultivation level is still there.

Peak Quasi-Saint.

The ball of light was still there in my mind's eye.

It shines like a star and is undamaged.

Kong Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

His cultivation level and supernatural powers remain.

Not too bad.

He looked up and gazed into the distance.

At the edge of the wilderness, the shadows of mountains loomed.

Above the mountain shadows, dark clouds rolled in.

The silhouette of a giant beast could be vaguely seen passing by in the dark clouds.

That giant beast was a thousand miles long.

With a spread of its wings, it blots out the sky and the sun.

The sheer power of the aura put pressure on even Kong Xuan.

He squinted, trying to discern the origin of the giant beast.

Then, he recognized him.

That is one of the ferocious beasts.

Its name is Qiongqi.

An ancient ferocious beast that delights in devouring humans.

In later generations, Qiongqi had long since disappeared.

Occasionally, they appear, but they are descendants with diluted bloodlines.

But the one in front of me is purebred.

It is a true innate ferocious beast.

Its aura was so strong that it was comparable to that of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.

Kong Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

Even a single Qiongqi is already like this.

How powerful must the king of those ferocious beasts be?

Chaotic beasts that existed since the beginning of chaos.

What level of cultivation is it?

Kong Xuan was unaware of this.

But he knew exactly where he was.

The most dangerous period of the primordial era.

It was more dangerous than the Lich War.

It was even more brutal than the Investiture of the Gods.

At that time, there was no sage to oversee things.

There is no balance in the natural order.

It's just a naked survival of the fittest.

Only the most primal killing and devouring.

Kong Xuan took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

They come, the security.

This isn't the first time I've traveled through time.

I've experienced too many illusions.

Whether it's true or false, survival comes first.

He lifted his foot and stepped into the air.

Golden lotuses bloom beneath one's feet, each step a lotus blossom.

Every step takes you a thousand miles.

He needs to find a safe place.

First, we need to understand the situation of this place.

We'll make further plans.

Kong Xuan headed east.

After flying for half an hour, it suddenly stopped.

Ahead, there is a mountain range.

The mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, rich in spiritual energy.

There are countless caves in the mountains.

But those caves were all empty.

Kong Xuan probed the cave with his divine sense and discovered that there were still traces of life remaining in the cave.

There are ferocious beasts and demon cultivators.

But they all left.

Kong Xuan frowned.

He landed on a hilltop and stood with his hands behind his back.

Looking down, the mountains are silent.

There was no other sound except for the wind.

But Kong Xuan felt a vague unease in his heart.

It's too quiet.

It was unusually quiet.

He extended his divine sense with all his might, covering the entire mountain range.

Then, he discovered it.

Deep in the mountains, there is a canyon.

In the canyon, many skeletons lay scattered about.

There are ferocious beasts and demon cultivators.

The bloodstains were still wet, indicating that the person had not been dead for long.

Kong Xuan lifted his foot and walked towards the canyon.

He stopped at the mouth of the canyon.

The stench of blood was overwhelming, so thick it was almost tangible.

In the canyon, bones piled up like mountains.

The minimum cultivation level is Taiyi Golden Immortal.

There are dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

There was even a skeleton of a quasi-saint in the early stage.

Kong Xuan's gaze was solemn.

In the early stages of Quasi-Sainthood, he would have been a regional overlord in later generations.

But here, he died.

There were teeth marks on the skeleton.

It looked like it had been devoured by some giant beast.

Kong Xuan squatted down and carefully examined the teeth marks.

The teeth marks were huge and neatly arranged.

It resembles a wolf, and also a tiger.

But each tooth is as thick as an arm.

Kong Xuan stood up, his gaze deep.

He recognized the teeth marks.

Taotie.

Taotie, a ferocious beast.

It is known for its voracious appetite; it eats everything.

They even dare to swallow the sky.

Taotie's cultivation level is at least at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Even higher.

Kong Xuan was on high alert.

The presence of Taotie here indicates that the area is unsafe.

He turned to leave.

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Heavy footsteps, one after another.

The earth was shaking.

Kong Xuan turned around, his pupils slightly contracted.

At the end of the canyon, a giant beast emerged.

The behemoth was as large as a mountain and a thousand miles long.

It has two horns on its head and eyes like blood moons.

Its mouth opened wide, revealing a snarling array of sharp teeth.

Blood and flesh remnants still clung to the sharp teeth.

Taotie.

Kong Xuan's heart sank.

Taotie stared at Kong Xuan, its blood-red eyes filled with greed.

Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth and fell to the ground.

It hissed and corroded the ground.

Clearly, it mistook Kong Xuan for food.

Kong Xuan remained motionless, standing with his hands behind his back.

His cultivation at the peak of Quasi-Saint level circulated within his body.

He did not run away.

Running away will only unleash the Taotie's ferocity.

Faced with ferocious beasts, there is only one option: fight.

The Taotie let out a low roar and pounced suddenly.

Its speed was completely disproportionate to its size.

A mountain-like body appeared before him in the blink of an eye.

It opened its mouth wide and swallowed Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan raised his hand and pointed out with one finger.

This single finger strike contained the full power of a Quasi-Saint at the peak.

The force of the fingers cuts through the air, like a sword or a spear.

It stabbed at the center of Taotie's forehead.

The gluttonous beast did not flinch, but opened its mouth and bit.

The force was swallowed into the mouth and disappeared silently.

Kong Xuan's expression changed slightly.

The Taotie's devouring power was stronger than he had imagined.

It can devour Dao power and primordial spirit.

It can even devour the Great Dao.

No wonder it is called the king of ferocious beasts.

Kong Xuan flashed away, retreating a thousand miles.

The gluttonous beast chased after them and took another bite.

Kong Xuan retreated again, dodging once more.

Despite repeated attempts, Taotie could never catch up.

But Kong Xuan couldn't do anything about it.

The power of Tao was swallowed, and the magic treasures were swallowed.

Even his supernatural powers have been weakened by three points.

Kong Xuan pondered this in his heart.

A direct confrontation won't work; we have to outsmart them.

Taotie has weaknesses.

Ancient records describe the Taotie as a gluttonous beast that knew no restraint.

Once they encounter delicious food, they don't care about anything else.

Just distract it with something enticing enough.

Then there will be an opportunity.

Kong Xuan took something out of his sleeve.

It is the embryo of that innate spiritual treasure.

It is entirely emerald green and shimmers with light.

He held it in his hand, and it radiated spiritual energy.

The Taotie was indeed attracted.

His greedy eyes were fixed on the jade.

Saliva started flowing even faster.

Kong Xuan released his grip, and Yu Fei flew to the left.

The Taotie turned and chased after it, opening its mouth to swallow it.

Just then, Kong Xuan made his move.

He rushed to Taotie's back at top speed.

He raised his finger and pointed it at the back of the Taotie's head.

This single finger strike contained the full power of the Dao.

No reservations were made.

puff.

The finger force pierced through the skull.

The Taotie's enormous body crashed to the ground.

The earth shook violently, and dust flew everywhere.

It struggled a few times, then stopped moving.

Kong Xuan stopped and let out a long sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and took back the jade.

The jade is intact and still glowing.

Kong Xuan carefully put it away and walked to the Taotie corpse.

The Taotie is dead, but its corpse still has value.

Its body is that of a ferocious beast, and every part of it is a treasure.

Bones can be used to forge weapons, and flesh can be used to refine elixirs.

Blood can temper the body, and skin can be used to make armor.

Kong Xuan raised his hand and put the Taotie's corpse into his sleeve.

A universe within a sleeve, capable of containing mountains and seas.

After tidying up, Kong Xuan turned and left.

This canyon is unsafe; the smell of blood will attract even more ferocious beasts.

You should leave as soon as possible.

Kong Xuan was about to leave.

He stopped as soon as he started to move.

Three auras were rapidly approaching from afar.

The aura is weak; he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Yet the Daoist essence emanating from that aura was extremely pure and righteous.

Kong Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, he stopped walking, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Three figures arrived in an instant.

The leader was a man with a handsome face and wore a black robe.

Behind them were two people, one in a green robe and the other in a white robe.

The three stood side by side, exuding an extraordinary air.

Kong Xuan looked at the three of them and understood.

Lao Tzu, the Primordial Beginning, the One Who Connects with Heaven.

These are the Three Pure Ones.

At this time, however, they were only three Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Having only recently taken human form, his cultivation is still shallow.

The three landed at the edge of the canyon and were shocked to see the bones scattered all over the ground.

Upon seeing the enormous corpse of the Taotie, the three were even more stunned.

Tongtian stepped forward, circled the Taotie's corpse, and then turned to look at Kong Xuan.

"Did you kill this Taotie?"

His tone was filled with disbelief.

Kong Xuan nodded lightly: "Mm."

Tongtian took a deep breath, his eyes filled with admiration.

"The Taotie is one of the four ferocious beasts, with a cultivation level of mid-stage Quasi-Saint."

"You were able to kill him all by yourself, that's incredibly strong."

Kong Xuan remained silent, merely observing the three of them.

In his previous life, he had met the Three Pure Ones.

But by then the Three Pure Ones were already saints.

High above, with profound authority.

These three are now young and energetic, with clear eyes.

It has not yet undergone the test of time.

He has not yet attained the Primordial Chaos.

They were just three teenagers who had just embarked on their journey through the primordial world.

Yuan Shi stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"

Kong Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Kong Xuan."

Yuan Shi was taken aback: "Kong Xuan?"

He turned to look at Lao Tzu, who also shook his head slightly.

Clearly, they had never heard of this name before.

Kong Xuan was not surprised.

At this time, the initial tribulation of the dragon and phoenix had just passed, and the phoenix clan had retreated

He had not joined the Jie Sect and had not made a name for himself.

It's perfectly normal that Sanqing had never heard of him.

Tongtian, however, became interested and walked around Kong Xuan twice.

"Are you from the Phoenix Clan?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Yes."

Tongtian's eyes lit up: "Didn't the Phoenix Clan go into seclusion? What are you doing here?"

Kong Xuan did not answer, but simply looked into the distance.

"This place is not safe to stay long; the deathly aura of the Taotie will attract even more ferocious beasts."

"If you have nothing else to do, leave as soon as possible."

Lao Tzu nodded slightly: "What you say is true, senior."

He turned to his two junior brothers and said, "Let's go."

Although Yuanshi and Tongtian wanted to ask more questions, they also knew the importance of the matter.

The three bowed to Kong Xuan and turned to leave.

After taking a few steps, Tongtian stopped again.

He turned to look at Kong Xuan, his eyes filled with eagerness.

"Senior, do you have a cave dwelling?"

"The three of us had only recently taken human form and found a mountain to settle down on."

"If you don't mind, could you please offer some guidance?"

Kong Xuan looked at Tongtian, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

At this time, Tongtian had not yet built Biyou Palace, nor had he recruited ten thousand immortals.

He wasn't the leader of the Jie Sect yet.

He was just a novice monk.

Their desire for the Way is fervent and sincere.

Kong Xuan was silent for a moment before asking, "Where do you live?"

Tongtian was overjoyed: "A thousand miles ahead, there is a mountain called Kunlun."

"So we settled down there."

Kong Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

Kunlun Mountain.

The future sacred site, the place where the Three Pure Ones attained enlightenment.

Right now, it's just a mountain.

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Lead the way."

Tongtian smiled and turned to lead the way.

The four of them walked on air and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.

Tongtianzui never stopped along the way.

Asking all sorts of questions, curious about everything.

Yuan Shi was much quieter, only occasionally interjecting with a word or two.

Lao Tzu walked last, silent and taciturn.

Kong Xuan could sense that Laozi's gaze was constantly scrutinizing him.

There was curiosity and scrutiny in those eyes.

There was still something that Kong Xuan couldn't see through.

Kong Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

Lao Tzu was indeed extraordinary.

Even though he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal at this moment, his insight was still remarkable.

He has far surpassed his peers.
