In the primordial era: the Wu tribe ceased its struggle for supremacy, and Hongjun collapsed!

Chapter 31 Kong Xuan kneels and begs for service

Tianxuan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were now so deep that they seemed to contain the ancient starry sky. What flowed within them was no longer just the simple threads of fate, but a more mysterious "Dao" that seemed to encompass all variables.

Reaching the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm is a natural progression.

His gaze fell on what was in front of him.

The little peacock, who usually held its head high and would never easily bow its head even in the face of a great immortal, was now kneeling respectfully on the ground, its forehead pressed against the cold rock, its body trembling slightly, yet exuding an unprecedented determination.

"What do you mean by this?" Tianxuan asked knowingly, a playful smile playing on his lips.

Kong Xuan took a deep breath, without raising his head, but his voice was clear and loud: "Junior Kong Xuan, I am grateful for your rescue and guidance along the way, from which I have benefited greatly. I know that the path to enlightenment is long and arduous, and without the guidance of a master, even the most ambitious person will find it difficult to escape the calamity of death and the dissipation of their cultivation."

At this point, he suddenly raised his head, his phoenix eyes burning with a fierce flame—an extreme thirst for power and boundless admiration for the person before him. "I have no way to repay your kindness, senior. I only wish to become your disciple, serve you, and listen to your teachings! Even if I were just a servant to bring you tea and water, I would be willing!"

In fact, along the way, Kong Xuan had long been impressed by Tian Xuan's unfathomable cultivation and his wisdom in casually revealing heavenly secrets.

He was the son of Yuan Feng, born with an arrogant spirit and a haughty attitude.

In this vast wilderness, the only people who could truly convince him, besides his deceased mother, were the man in the blue robe before him.

More importantly, he felt a kind of "inclusivity" from Tianxuan that he had never felt before.

Unlike those powerful figures who always coveted his five-colored divine light and wanted to refine him or take him as a mount, Tianxuan's gaze towards him was always peaceful, even carrying a hint of appreciation.

The feeling was like looking at a piece of raw jade, rather than a tool.

Tianxuan looked at the stubborn yet hopeful young man in front of him, and his heart stirred slightly.

He took Kong Xuan as his disciple?

This is indeed a good choice.

Although this peacock is unruly, in the original historical timeline, he was someone who dared to confront the saint Zhunti with his quasi-saint cultivation!

That audacity—"All men are but ants beneath the sages, yet I, Kong Xuan, dare to contend"—is unparalleled throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Some may find him arrogant, but isn't the Wu tribe the same?

They disrespect Heaven and Earth, only honoring the Father God, and dare to attack Hongjun.

Get up.

Tianxuan spoke calmly, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Kong Xuan's body trembled, and his eyes instantly flashed with wild joy. However, he did not get up immediately. Instead, he kowtowed three times heavily, each time making the ground tremble and drawing blood from his forehead.

"Disciple Kong Xuan pays respects to Master! May Master live a long and prosperous life!"

"Alright, no need for such a cliché."

With a wave of his sleeve, Tianxuan gently lifted Kong Xuan up, simultaneously healing the injury on his forehead. "Now that you've joined my sect, some rules need to be made clear. I dislike formalities, and you don't need to pay your respects every day. As long as you are upright and sincere, do not betray your master or ancestors, and do not bully the weak, you will be my good disciple."

"I will remember this!" Kong Xuan nodded repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement.

Tianxuan looked at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Now that I've taken on a disciple, I can no longer give him casual advice as before.

"Kong Xuan, do you know what your greatest reliance is?" Tian Xuan asked.

"Reporting to Master, it is this disciple's Five-Colored Divine Light," Kong Xuan answered without hesitation, a hint of pride on his face.

This is his innate supernatural power, capable of sweeping away anything. Even a powerhouse a level above him can suffer a great loss if they are not careful.

"Indeed, the Five-Colored Divine Light is indeed powerful."

Tianxuan nodded, then changed the subject, "But do you know that this is also your greatest constraint?"

Kong Xuan was taken aback: "Shackles?"

"Success and failure both stem from the Five Elements."

Tianxuan extended a finger and gently touched Kong Xuan's brow. "While your Five-Colored Divine Light is powerful, it is still fundamentally reliant on the innate Five Elements. If it encounters a force that transcends the Five Elements and is outside the Yin-Yang framework, or an existence whose cultivation far surpasses yours and who can overcome skill with brute force, your divine light will fail. What will you do then?"

"Please teach me, Master!" Kong Xuan said respectfully.

"You bear the inheritance of the Primordial Phoenix and walk the path of the Five Elements. This path is most suitable for you, and I will not force you to change to my cultivation method."

Tianxuan pondered for a moment, then continued, "But I can teach you how to push the Five Elements to their limit, and even—evolve the world."

"An evolutionary world?!" Kong Xuan's pupils shrank sharply.

"good."

A glint of wisdom flashed in Tianxuan's eyes. "The five elements flow and regenerate endlessly; this is the foundation of the world. Your current Five-Colored Divine Light can only swipe people and take things; at best, it's just a warehouse." But if you can comprehend the ultimate mystery of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, and create a Five-Element world within your body, then the Five-Colored Divine Light will no longer be a supernatural power, but a projection of the world—"

"At that time, what you will be brushing will no longer be material things, but the Dao!"

These words, like a resounding bell, exploded in Kong Xuan's mind, causing his very soul to tremble.

Evolutionary World!

What a grand vision this is!

He used to only think about how to make the divine light sharper and faster, but he never thought about evolving the divine light into a world!

"Disciple—understands!"

An unprecedented glint flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.

At that moment, he seemed to see a broad road leading to the highest realm unfolding beneath his feet.

For the next three thousand years, the master and disciple did not rush on their journey.

They walked and stopped, sometimes watching the clouds drift and unfold atop a high mountain, contemplating the changes of the five elements; sometimes observing the undercurrents at the bottom of the deep sea, understanding the softness and strength of water.

Tianxuan did not teach Kong Xuan any specific moves, but instead guided him to comprehend the five elements' operation in the natural world.

"Look at the volcanic eruption, fire generates earth, and earth extinguishes fire. This transformation is the generation and restraint of the five elements."

"Look at the withered tree that comes back to life, the wood that generates fire, and the fire that is extinguished that is passed on to the next generation. The vitality in this is the cycle of the five elements."

Under Tianxuan's careful guidance, Kong Xuan's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.

Because he had become a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, he vaguely felt that his cultivation was being enhanced by some kind of blessing, making his cultivation faster and smoother.

That is the destiny of the witch clan!

As the great ancestor of the Wu clan, Tianxuan himself carried a portion of the Wu clan's destiny.

Now that Kong Xuan has become his personal disciple, he has naturally become one of the beneficiaries of the Wu Clan's fortune.

Three thousand years later.

In a blessed land called "Five Elements Mountain".

"boom--!!!"

A terrifying aura erupted from Kong Xuan's body, soaring straight into the sky.
