"Ah, Heavenly Dao, you dare to scheme against me! The incarnation of the Primordial Chaos manifests!" With that, a Taoist appeared, his body radiating purple light. With a wave of his hand, the purple-glowing Taoist rushed towards the man in the girl's arms. In an instant, the two merged into one, absorbed into the seven-colored light pearl.

The Taoist priest picked up the girl and shouted, "Time Reversal - Time Without a Trace!" The figures of the Taoist priest and the girl began to fade and seemed to disappear.

"Ah, you can't escape! Heavenly Dao Slash!" A blade of energy radiating a soft white light slashed towards the two from the heavens above. With a deafening boom, the Taoist and the girl vanished, leaving a pool of blood on the ground. The entire world trembled suddenly and was absorbed into the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl, disappearing in a flash.

At Mount Buzhou, a Taoist appeared, spitting blood. Instantly, a terrifying aura filled with sorrow flowed out. The Taoist roared, "Ke'er, Ke'er..." and collapsed to the ground. A sword from Youyi appeared on the Taoist's body, carrying him and transforming him into a purple beam of light that shot eastward.

A low, faint whisper, like a call from a thousand miles away, appears and disappears, hazy and indistinct, vague yet familiar. Who is shouting there? Who is calling out softly? Who wants to grasp the fleeting years? Who is grieving alone in the autumn wind? The wind is silent, the rain is speechless; deep longing and faint sorrow are all carried away by the autumn wind, unasked and unclaimed.

In the Heaven and Earth Palace, a flash of purple light appeared, and a Taoist appeared. Kong Xuan, who was weeping and grieving in the Heaven and Earth Palace, immediately rushed over and hugged the Taoist, shouting, "Master, Master, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Suddenly, Kong Xuan was thrown away, and a blue lotus flower emerged from beneath the Taoist. Thirty-six blue leaves instantly enveloped the Taoist, who floated in the air and slowly rotated.

Looking at his master, whose mouth was full of blood and whose body was in a sorry state, Kong Xuan silently vowed in his heart: Master, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and avenge you.

Kong Xuan stepped out of the Heaven and Earth Palace and saw that the entire palace was emanating a faint chaotic aura. Instantly, countless formations formed around it, creating the Primordial Limitless Formation, which enveloped the entire Heaven and Earth Palace.

Kong Xuan walked into the island and picked eighty-eight fruits, including Star Fruit, Peaches of Immortality, and Ginseng Fruit. No matter what kind, the fruit disappeared upon entering his mouth, instantly transforming into boundless energy that surged through his body. Kong Xuan immediately activated the Five Elements Technique, absorbing only a tiny fraction of the spiritual energy. Suddenly, Kong Xuan swelled into a sphere tens of feet in diameter, blood flowing from his seven orifices. He cried out "Help!" and fainted. A young man appeared in the Heavenly Palace and said softly, "This kid, to increase his strength, he eats so much, isn't he afraid of bursting?" The young man flashed to Kong Xuan's side, placed his hand on Kong Xuan's back, and used his own energy to help him circulate the Five Elements Technique. Kong Xuan slowly shrank, and at the same time, five-colored pillars of light appeared around him. As the Five Elements Technique circulated, his body gradually shrank, while the pillars of light deepened and grew larger. When Kong Xuan regained his true form, the five-colored pillars of light quickly gathered and condensed into five feathers, disappearing behind him.

The young man waved his hand, and a chair appeared. He sat down and waited for Kong Xuan to wake up.

Section 26, Chapter 13: The Sage Preaches the Dao; Digging for Treasure in the Primordial World

When Hongjun attained sainthood, the Zixiao Palace appeared, and all the great supernatural beings of the primordial world rushed to the chaotic void in order to hear the saint preach and break through their own realms and cultivation.

Our protagonist, along with Kong Xuan, headed towards Buzhou Mountain to search for the gourd root and banana tree from the creation of the world.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, a million cultivators jostled and pushed each other, vying for a good seat. The seats were arranged in three rows of six each. At the head sat Laozi of Taiqing, Yuanshi of Shangqing, and Tongtian of Yuqing; below them sat Nuwa, Hongyun, and Kunpeng. Then, the familiar scene unfolded: two Daoists arrived in a flurry. One had a long, white beard, a face like jade, and was slightly thin; the other was taller, with a sallow complexion and a pained expression. These were undoubtedly Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin. Zhunti cried and shoved for a long time before the kind-hearted Hongyun gave up his seat. Kunpeng was also implicated and gave up his seat to Jieyin. Thus, the feud between Kunpeng and Hongyun was formed unknowingly—Hongyun was unaware of it, but Kunpeng was not.

The second row is occupied by nine people: Taiyi, Dijun, Kunpeng, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Fuxi, Minghe, Jehovah, Houtu, and Xuanming.

The third row consists of minor figures from the primordial world, such as the Great Luo Golden Immortals and below, who are not worthy of the sage's attention.

After everyone was seated, a figure appeared on the altar of Zixiao Palace; it was none other than Hong Jun, the sage of the primordial world. The ancestor gave a soft shout, and the bustling crowd below immediately quieted down.

Hongjun, the Ancestor, began his discourse from the beginning of chaos: "In the beginning of chaos, there was no knowledge of the Dao. It was only when Pangu separated heaven and earth, and perished, that the Dao became clear. In the beginning, the Great Dao was formless, yet the Dao of Heaven was eternal. All things possessed the Dao's heart, moving freely through the void. All things gave birth to the Dao, and the Dao is also all things; all things are also the Dao… The Dao that can be spoken of, the name that can be named, the Dao is Heaven, the Dao is Earth; Heaven is the Dao, Earth is the Dao; the Dao is Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth are the Dao."

Beneath the Great Dao, within the Dao of Heaven, all things are the Dao. The Dao follows Heaven, Heaven follows Earth, Earth follows Man, Man follows the Dao, and the Dao follows Nature…

A thousand years later, Hongjun stopped preaching and said to the crowd, "I have been preaching for three thousand years, and I will preach again in a thousand years." After saying this, his figure disappeared.

Seeing that the patriarch had left, everyone had no choice but to leave as well.

The gods and demons led Kong Xuan around and around Mount Buzhou, but they couldn't find them. Kong Xuan asked, "Master, do you even know where they are?"

"Wait, just a little longer, we'll be there soon."

"I knew it! This is the gourd root, only it only had seven gourds growing on it, and three of them have already been picked."
