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

The Undying Volcano is located in the southern part of the prehistoric continent and is the ancestral home of the Phoenix Clan.

This place is shrouded in scorching lava and flames all year round, with towering flames erupting from the crater from time to time, as if to burn the heavens and the earth to ashes.

However, for the Phoenix Clan, this place is a sacred place for cultivation.

The Undying Volcano contains extremely rich innate fire spirit energy, which can greatly enhance the cultivation of the Phoenix Clan.

Kong Xuan appeared at the edge of the Undying Volcano, feeling the familiar scorching heat, and a sense of warmth welled up in his heart.

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

Every inch of this land, every wisp of fire, seems to be welcoming his return.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is far more abundant than that of the outside world.

For Kong Xuan, this place was no less than the other top-tier blessed lands in the primordial world.

Without delay, Kong Xuan flew directly into the depths of the Undying Volcano and found a place with the most abundant spiritual energy.

He then sat cross-legged and began to fully circulate his cultivation technique, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the spiritual energy from the Undying Volcano surged into his body like a tide, rapidly replenishing his depleted spiritual power.

Just a moment later, Kong Xuan felt that most of the spiritual energy in his body had been restored.

The spiritual energy of the immortal volcano is indeed extraordinary, far surpassing anything in the mortal realm.

Kong Xuan was secretly delighted and continued to circulate his cultivation technique, doing his best to restore the spiritual energy in his body.

The spiritual energy of the Undying Volcano is extremely rich. Since the birth of the primordial world, almost no living beings have cultivated here, which has led to the exceptionally rich spiritual energy here.

As the son of Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan has a natural affinity for flames, and the environment of the Undying Volcano is a sacred place for cultivation.

Before long, Kong Xuan felt that the spiritual energy in his body had returned to its peak state, even more abundant than before.

Kong Xuan was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to rush to improve his cultivation or the Five-Colored Divine Light, but instead to improve his own foundation.

After all, one's foundation is the basis of cultivation and determines the upper limit of one's future potential.

Moreover, Kong Xuan himself never intended to follow the path of a Quasi-Saint.

It's not too late to improve your cultivation level after you've rebuilt the Primordial Dao.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan no longer hesitated and immediately activated the "Sublimation" divine power within his body.

As his spiritual energy was rapidly depleted, a profound aura spread throughout his body, quickly altering Kong Xuan's foundation.

Kong Xuan felt as if his body was being reshaped by an invisible force, with every inch of flesh and every bone undergoing earth-shattering changes.

"not good!"

"The spiritual energy consumed is far greater than before!"

Kong Xuan was startled.

This was something I never expected.

I originally thought that each use of Ascension would only consume 90% of my spiritual power.

Kong Xuan even understood the consequences of rebuilding the Hunyuan Dao.

After all, if the spiritual energy consumption is not calculated based on 90% of one's own spiritual energy, but rather a fixed 90% of the spiritual power of a peak Quasi-Saint.

If I were to dissipate my Quasi-Saint cultivation, I wouldn't be able to use it for even one ascension.

Therefore, Kong Xuan placed the reconstruction of the Hunyuan Dao last.

But to Kong Xuan's surprise, the spiritual energy consumed far exceeded that before!

Without time to think, Kong Xuan quickly sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind, and frantically circulated his cultivation technique to replenish his spiritual energy.

Fortunately, being inside the immortal volcano, the spiritual energy was still able to replenish Kong Xuan's energy consumption.

As time went by, Kong Xuan felt that his foundation was gradually breaking free from the shackles of innate beings and moving towards a higher level.

Finally, when that mysterious aura completely merged into his body.

"It's done!"

"I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"

Kong Xuan was overjoyed and quickly checked the changes in his feet.

At this point, his foundation had been elevated to the level of a chaotic god or demon.

Although it only has the origins of the lowest-level, inferior Chaos Demon God, it has already far surpassed the scope of innate beings.

Kong Xuan felt that the laws of heaven and earth had become incredibly intimate with him, especially the Five Elements Laws that he had been cultivating, which were now flowing into his body on their own.

Although the effect was slight, it occurred even though Kong Xuan did not actively cultivate.

Kong Xuan originally possessed a top-tier innate talent, but now, thanks to the "Sublimation" supernatural power, he has been directly elevated to the level of a low-grade Chaos Demon God.

This means that his potential has far surpassed that of most creatures in the primordial world.

Even if the Three Pure Ones have their origins, they are not the origins of the Chaos Demon God.

However, since the Three Pure Ones are descendants of Pangu, and were transformed from the great god Pangu, their origins far surpass those of top-tier innate beings.

But it didn't quite reach the level of the Chaos God.

It is merely a foothold somewhere in between, and it possesses the merits of creation.

"The origins of the Chaos Demon God... are indeed extraordinary!"

Kong Xuan murmured to himself, feeling the new power within his body.

I have already embarked on a shortcut to the Great Dao, and my future cultivation path will be smoother.

However, Kong Xuan did not become complacent because of this.

He knew that although his foundation had been raised to the level of a Chaos Demon God, his cultivation and supernatural abilities were still his biggest weaknesses.

Especially in the face of the upcoming Investiture of the Gods, we must improve our strength as soon as possible in order to remain invincible in the upcoming great battle.

But now, another problem has arisen.

Although sublimation is a process of sublimation, it requires far too much spiritual energy.

Even though Kong Xuan has now risen to the level of a Chaos Demon God, he can contain several times more spiritual energy.

"hiss......"

After sensing the spiritual energy needed for the next sublimation, Kong Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

"Even if my spiritual energy were fully restored, it probably wouldn't be enough for another Ascension. Given the increasing amount of spiritual energy required for each use, I'm afraid I won't have enough for the next one!"

However, Kong Xuan didn't have a better solution for the time being.

Refining that system and obtaining such heaven-defying supernatural powers was already beyond Kong Xuan's expectations.

Fortunately, the sublimation I used earlier only improved the foundation.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough spiritual energy left for the next use.

Kong Xuan then pondered as he recovered his spiritual energy.

However, after Kong Xuan recovered his spiritual energy, he still did not make a choice.

To advance one's cultivation level is to reach the realm of a Heavenly Saint.

The Heavenly Sage has already left his mark on the Heavenly Dao, making it absolutely impossible for him to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Dao anew.

However, if he were to rebuild the Primordial Chaos Dao, he would fall to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he would not have enough spiritual energy to perform the sublimation.

After all, the difference in spiritual energy that a Quasi-Saint realm cultivator and a Great Luo realm cultivator can contain is like heaven and earth.

In the end, Kong Xuan looked at his innate divine power—the Five-Colored Divine Light!

"If we enhance the Five-Colored Divine Light, that wouldn't be bad; at least we'd have the power to resist even a saint!"

"In this way, I can be considered to have the combat power of a saint, although it is not as enduring."

"but......"

With this in mind, Kong Xuan made up his mind.

After all, the Tongtian Sect Leader was on the side of the Shang Dynasty.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian, wielded by the Tongtian Sect Leader, cannot be broken by any of the Four Sages.

If he possessed the combat power of a saint, holding off a saint wouldn't be a problem.

It's still uncertain who will win or lose at that time.

However, when Kong Xuan thought of Hongjun Daozu, he stopped what he was doing.

Just as Kong Xuan was pondering, an incomparably powerful force enveloped the Undying Volcano.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a karmic connection with the West."
