The Primordial Path of Kong Xuanming

Kong Xuan possesses ten small worlds within him. When facing an enemy, these ten worlds overlap, making the world ten times more stable. However, no matter how powerful these worlds are, they still fall under the category of supernatural powers and are of little help to Kong Xuan's current cultivation level!

In Kong Xuan's cave in the martial arts world, Kong Xuan used technology and rules to create a set of virtual reality illusion array flags. This set of array flags is composed of nine low-grade acquired treasures and can be arranged into the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires Ten Thousand Lifetimes Reincarnation Array" that Kong Xuan deduced over countless years.

The seven emotions are joy, anger, worry, fear, love, hate, and desire; the six desires are birth, death, hearing, sight, taste, and smell.

The six desires refer broadly to the physiological needs or desires of intelligent beings. Intelligent beings need to survive, fear death, and want to live a vibrant and fulfilling life. Therefore, their mouths want to eat, their tongues want to taste, their eyes want to see, their ears want to hear, and their noses want to smell. These desires are innate and require no teaching. Buddhism refers to them as: "the desire for sight, the desire for hearing, the desire for smell, the desire for taste, the desire for touch, and the desire for thought—the six desires."

Within the Great Array of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Reincarnation, Kong Xuan sealed his own memories and experienced countless reincarnations within the array, enduring the trials of the seven emotions over countless years and the endless temptations of the six desires! Over countless years, his Dao heart reached a state of being undisturbed by countless events, fearless in the face of countless deaths, able to discern actions from appearances, and to know the essence of things from appearances!

Through countless cycles of reincarnation and memory, and through constantly understanding, recognizing, and transforming himself, Kong Xuan's Dao heart gradually became clear and transparent. He observed the workings of the universe and the destiny of heaven and earth, investigated the origin of all living things, and indulged in his seven emotions and six desires, all for the sake of roaming freely between heaven and earth!

Having understood his true nature, Kong Xuan felt his cultivation had advanced another step, reaching the early stage of Quasi-Saint. However, Kong Xuan did not cultivate the method of severing the three corpses, so in the eyes of other powerful cultivators, he was still a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal. Of course, Kong Xuan's overall strength at this time was equivalent to a Qi Refining cultivator who had severed two corpses!

Kong Xuan emerged from seclusion, having spent nearly a billion years in this retreat. The Three Pure Ones were no longer on the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, having gone to Hongjun to listen to his teachings. At this time, over eight billion years had passed since the creation of the primordial world, and the three major races of the primordial world were engaged in a full-scale war. After countless years of accumulation, more than ten members of the three major races had broken through to the initial stage of Quasi-Saint. The birth of Quasi-Saints dragged all cultivators of the three races into the battlefield. Quasi-Saints possessed limitless divine powers, capable of easily destroying billions of cultivators. The expansion of the battlefield resulted in the deaths of over a trillion low- and mid-level cultivators on both sides in just a few hundred million years, and the loss of several Quasi-Saints in high-level battles! The massive carnage burdened the high-level cultivators of the three races with karmic debts, and the countless deaths of numerous races within the three races severely weakened their cohesion, causing disunity and disloyalty among the various races! In an instant, the fortunes of the three major races plummeted!

For nearly two billion years since the three major races began their conflict, all three sides have been driven to madness. Unbeknownst to many, each race has lost nearly 40% of its inhabitants on the battlefield, and almost 30% of its high-end combat power. Just as the leaders of the three races decided to cease hostilities and recuperate, the entire periphery of the Eastern Continent was suddenly occupied by a force calling itself the Western Demonic Cult. In just a few hundred years, the Western Demonic Cult conquered one-third of the territories of the three major races, demonstrating strength no less than that of the three races at their peak.

The three major clans were shocked and gathered to discuss the matter. After decades of observation and deliberation, they finally decided to jointly launch a military campaign to punish the Western Demonic Sect, thus beginning a massive war. The three sides dispatched a trillion cultivators and ten quasi-saints to fight the Western Demonic Sect. However, the Western Demonic Sect seemed to be very familiar with the allied forces' every move. In the millions of years of fighting, the allied forces suffered heavy losses; of their trillion cultivators, less than five hundred billion remained—more than half were lost!
