Chapter 001: Pangu Opens the Sky and Changes Fate

  After Xuanwei returned to the mountain, he saw two people, one big and one small, standing in front of the mountain gate. The bigger one looked like a handsome young man, wearing a green peacock feather robe, with five colorful feathers hanging behind his head, emitting a five-colored halo, making him look like a carefree immortal from the nine heavens. The smaller one was an adorable child, wearing a five-colored cloud-patterned Taoist robe, exquisitely carved and lovely, holding a small, delicate jade bell that continuously emitted waves of ripples, attacking the person in front of him, while beside him two sharp, colorful divine lights constantly flowed and cut off the surrounding five-colored divine lights.

  These two were precisely the two great disciples of Xuan Wei, Qu Ke and Kong Xuan. When they saw Xuan Wei return, they immediately rushed forward to pay their respects.

  Xuanwei gently stroked the two of them, and brought them to Xuanwei Temple. He said: "On the days when I was not here, you both had a good heart for cultivation. Xuan'er has already touched the threshold of Daluo, and Qianqi's disciple actually surprised me greatly, and also achieved the Golden Immortal Dao fruit."

  Qingqi listened and her delicate face turned red, she said in a soft and sweet voice: "Kong Xuan has already reached the threshold of Daluo, if I'm still wandering in the Tianxian realm, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

  Xuanwei nodded slightly and continued to praise Qiongqi, asking her a few questions. Kongxuan, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but feel envious, with a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes. Although it only lasted for a short moment, Xuanwei's extraordinary cultivation allowed him to notice it immediately. He then told Qiongqi to go and cultivate on her own, walked up to Kongxuan, patted his head, and asked with his back turned: "Xuan'er, since I helped you transform into your true form, except for the earliest period of time, I haven't been teaching you carefully, and instead let you lead the Peacock Clan on your own. Unlike Qiongqi, who has been by my side all this time, do you resent me for it?"

  Kong Xuan's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Xuanyi, then he composed himself and said: "I don't dare."

  Xuan Wei turned around and looked at Kong Xuan with a bitter smile: "It's not that I don't dare to blame, but rather there is no one to blame."

  Kong Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to want to say something. Xuán Wēi shook his head and said: "You don't need to say more, I understand your temperament as a teacher. When I sent you to command the Peacock Clan, it wasn't without calculation. With your pride, it's normal for you to have grievances. Never mind, now that the Heavenly Emperor position is settled, if the Peacock Clan wants to continue being independent, it will be difficult. If you're willing, bring the Peacock Clan back to Yuhua Xianshan. Humph, I don't believe that even with my protection, Di Jun would dare to come to Yuhua Xianshan to demand someone."

  With that, he waved his sleeve and looked at Kong Xuan, saying: "In this way, in the future, you can also avoid being busy with the affairs of the Peacock Clan all day long, neglecting your cultivation. You can stay by my side and listen to my teachings. What do you think?"

  Kong Xuan suddenly lifted his head and stared at Xuan Wei, who smiled slightly and rubbed Kong Xuan's head, laughing and scolding: "How about it, you're still not willing?"

  Kong Xuan hastily shook his head and stepped forward excitedly to thank him: "Disciple thanks Master."

  "Go, go." Xuan Wei waved his hand and said: "The sooner you solve the problem, the sooner you can understand these causes and effects. At that time, you will also be able to ascend to the Great Luo earlier. Haha, it seems that among the followers of Hong Jun's Dao Zu, our sect will be the first to produce a Great Luo Immortal."

  Kong Xuan met and paid his respects, then left to prepare to bring the Peacock Clan back to the Jade Flower Mountain. The migration of the Peacock Clan did not cause much commotion in the Hongyuan, after all, the Peacock Clan was not considered powerful among the hundred tribes of the Hongyuan, with only a few Golden Immortals who had attained the Dao, and no one had reached the Mahayana realm. Moreover, the direction of their migration was the Jade Flower Mountain, so no one in the Hongyuan was willing to provoke them.

  After the Peacock Clan settled down, Kong Xuan's mood improved significantly, and his cultivation became smoother. His understanding of Daluo also became more profound. The provocative Qiqi also closed herself in seclusion, which made the nearby Xuanwei look on with some relief.

  It was also because of this that thousands of years passed quickly, and on this day, Kong Xuan felt deeply that his own cultivation had reached a bottleneck. If he didn't go out to gain experience, it would be difficult to break through, so he went to the Xuānwēi Temple to pay respects to Xuānwēi.

  At this time, Qiu Qi was coquettishly leaning against Xuan Wei. Kong Xuan saw him and first bowed to Xuan Wei, then jokingly said: "Big Brother Master isn't thinking of trying again the effect of Master's Pre-Heaven Five Needle Pine?" Kong Xuan especially emphasized "Big Brother Master" and "trying again". Qiu Qi was so embarrassed that his face turned red like a ripe fruit, looking particularly lovely. He retorted in a crisp tone: "Isn't Second Brother Master wanting to try the effect of that Pre-Heaven Five Needle Pine?"

  This is a difficult question for Kong Xuan to answer, the pine tree in Xuan Wei's hand is an extreme product of the pre-heavenly five-needle pine, which is not much different from ginseng fruit, and contains the aura of the pre-heavenly five elements. For the Xuan Wei sect, it can be said that it has many benefits. If there is a chance to taste it, Kong Xuan will not hesitate to take a sip.

  Xuanwei smiled and handed two pine cones to Jingqi, saying: "Little glutton, don't you want to take one quickly?" Then he handed the other cone to Kongxuan, saying: "Xuan'er, take one too." The pine cones looked like five-colored precious pearls, shining with colorful light, covered in scales, each piece shaped like a shield, with wings on both sides. The pine seeds inside emitted a strange and refreshing fragrance that filled the air, making people's mouths water.

  When the two of them finished eating, Xuan Wei said to Kong Xuan: "Xuan Er, I know the purpose of your visit this time, and I don't want to stop you. However, I hope you can take Qian Qi with you to gain some experience. After all, Qian Qi has been by my side since childhood and hasn't experienced those dangers. Now that Hong Huang is about to become turbulent again, it's better for you two to gain more experience."

  As they spoke, Xuan Wei transformed into a motherly figure, repeatedly advising and reminding the two of them. Jing Qi and Kong Xuan were both moved and helpless. When Xuan Wei finally stopped talking and took a sip of tea, Jing Qi immediately said with a serious face: "Master, we've remembered your words. Can Kong Xuan and I leave now?" He then prepared to pull Kong Xuan away.

  Xuanwei smiled and said, "Alright, I know you don't like to hear these things, but Master still has one more thing to say." Looking at Jie Qi's sulky face, Xuanwei couldn't help but tease her a bit. He then waved his hand and took out several treasures, saying to the two of them, "Jie Qi, although you already have the Yuan Magnetic Light Shears, an extreme-quality acquired spiritual treasure that Master refined, and the Five Elements Cloud Chime Bell, your innate pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, it's still better to bring more treasures when going out. That's the truth."

  Upon seeing Gui Qi's eager demeanor, Xuan Wei took out a jade wheel with a blue gemstone-like color. The wheel's surface sparkled with silver light, resembling the starry night sky. Xuan Wei said: "This treasure is called the Celestial Star Jade Wheel. It was obtained by my master from the Treasure Rock and is a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure with 28 pre-heavenly divine seals. Once activated, it can transform into a cloud of starlight, shielding one's body with 108 strands of starry light, making it an excellent defensive spiritual treasure. Gui Qi, your Five Elements Cloud Bell is not suitable for defense, and the Magnetic Light Scissors are a killing treasure. This Celestial Star Jade Wheel will be given to you for protection."

  Jade saw it and was overjoyed, holding the jade wheel in her hand and playing with it. In a soft and gentle voice, she thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for giving me this treasure."

  Then, he took out an ordinary branch of Wutong tree. As soon as the Wutong appeared, Kong Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of resonance, his eyes slightly red, and said to Kong Xuan: "I suppose you also felt it, this treasure is called Miao Hua Wutong, it was created by Master using your mother's pre-heavenly Wutong branch as the foundation after she passed away. It was refined with several self-produced treasures from the Pre-Heavenly Spirit Rock and has become a Pre-Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Inside, there are 33 Pre-Heavenly God Seals, which are most skilled at combining with the Five-Colored Divine Light. It can be used to brush people or objects, offense and defense as one, its uses are endless. Master left some room for improvement when refining it initially, if you were to merge the pre-heavenly five-colored divine light on your back into it in the future, then Miao Hua Wutong would not be inferior to any Sect Master-level Pre-Heavenly Spirit Treasure."

  Saying that, Xuanwei took out a five-colored treasure mirror and said to Kongxuan: "Although the Miao Hua Wutong is for the master's sacrifice and refinement, it is ultimately left by your mother. Today, I will give you a spiritual treasure, called the Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Mirror. It is an extremely high-quality acquired spiritual treasure, which was collected with the Yuanchi Magnetic Divine Light Shears in the extreme south and refined with the essence of heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years. At this time, compared to the Yuanchi Magnetic Divine Light Shears, although it is not sharp enough, its power is stronger, and the Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light contained within is more skilled at dissolving all things. I hope you will use it with caution in the future."

  Kong Xuan took the two objects and bowed to say, "Thank you, Master, for the precious gifts." Qiong Qi saw this and looked at Xuan Wei with eyes that were red all over, her tears welling up in her eyes as she complained, "Master, why did I only get one? Kong Xuan got two. Does Master not like me anymore?????" As she spoke, she was about to throw a tantrum, causing Kong Xuan and Xuan Wei to exchange amused glances, knowing that Qiong Qi was being playful and coquettish again.

  Xuan Wei smiled and said, "Alright, alright, since that's the case, Master will give Qiu Qi another treasure." He took out a small hammer and handed it to Qiu Qi, saying, "This treasure is called the Hengdi Hammer, also one of the pre-heavenly spiritual treasures obtained by Master from the Treasure Rock. It has 24 pre-heavenly divine seals, its power is extraordinary, take it, later Master still has something to say to Xuan Er, you go outside and wait for a while." Qiu Qi heard this, happily accepted the small hammer, and skipped out to the outside.

  "But it's strange, why does Master treat Qian Qi so well?" Xuan Mi said with a glance at Kong Xuan.

  Kong Xuan glanced at Xuan Wei and saluted: "Please, Master, point out."

  Xuan Wei sighed and said, "Don't look at Xie Qi as a Golden Immortal, in fact, I only recently found out that he is still not mature. Back then, I used my own life force to awaken his potential, which was both helpful and harmful to him. Since then, I have kept him by my side, but without experiencing some things, his spiritual intelligence has developed slowly, and even now, he is still like a child. So, this time you can go out, I also hope that Xie Qi can experience some things..."

  Xuanwei finished speaking and took out three Ling symbols, handing them to Kong Xuan: "Each of these three Ling symbols contains a hint of my divine thought. You can use it to unleash a full-force attack. I'll let you have them, as I've calculated that you will encounter some calamities on your journey and will need to use them." Having said this, Xuanwei waved his hand and dismissed Kong Xuan.
