Seeing Wang Zheng acting like a child throwing a tantrum, the Peacock Demon King couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, okay... I know you're amazing, just consider this as me wanting to learn more about the situation from you."
I can only keep you for a few days at most. Tell me more about the interesting things from ancient times. I'll make sure you leave safely once I'm done with my busy schedule.
After all, I don't want to make an enemy of Zhang Eshan because of these idiots under my command.
At this point, Kong Xuan changed the subject and picked up the white jade wine cup in front of him.
"Let's not talk about these unpleasant things. I heard from Ling'er that you didn't eat or drink much at the banquet and even complained that the wine was bad."
I've specially prepared the finest wine and food; please don't refuse this time.
The moonlight was perfect, shimmering like water, and a cool mountain breeze seemed to create ripples.
The bright light reflected on the thick, amber-like dew, creating a faint halo around it.
"Come, this cup, I'll toast you first to the ancient secrets you brought me."
Seeing the Peacock Demon King's warm invitation, Wang Zheng really had no choice but to pick up the jade wine cup and drink the jade liquid inside in one gulp.
As the wine enters the throat, it feels as if a thousand flavors are flowing through the chest and abdomen, exuding a rich vitality.
Then a spicy aroma hit my nose, followed by an extremely rich fragrance that spread throughout my mouth, accompanied by a warm current that flowed directly into my stomach.
Wang Zheng glanced at the data panel and, sure enough, the upper limit of spiritual energy had increased by 5 points.
Although the effects of the spirit wine were remarkable, Wang Zheng could not and dared not indulge in it in order to maintain his public image.
He silently put down his wine glass, looked at the Peacock Demon King, and said calmly:
"Demon King, please ask whatever you want to know. I will tell you the truth to the best of my knowledge."
Kong Xuan slammed his hand on the table and, surprisingly, poured Wang Zheng a full glass of wine.
"Very well, speak your mind! I will no longer beat around the bush. Just who was my ancestor Kong Xuan, and what glory did he possess? And am I capable of cultivating the great supernatural powers of my ancestor's time?"
"I've only heard about your ancestor once from my father, so I don't know much about him. I'll just tell you what I know."
The Peacock Demon King nodded.
"That's natural."
Wang Zheng pretended to tidy up his disguise, then took the opportunity to drink a full glass, feigning to moisten his throat, and then said in a pretentious tone:
"Legend has it that in the primordial chaos, spirits were born, and in the beginning of time, all things were conceived."
After the great calamity of the dragon and phoenix, the first phoenix knew that its life was nearing its end, which led to the story of the phoenix raising nine chicks.
Kong Xuan was a descendant of the First Phoenix. He was the first peacock in the world, born in the primordial era, but he remained hidden from the world for tens of thousands of years before he cultivated his innate divine power.
He was born during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, wielding the Five-Colored Divine Light, which could sweep away anything, defeating countless masters of the prehistoric world, and even sweeping away the Second Master of the Western Sect.
Unfortunately, Kong Xuan's own magical power and cultivation were far inferior to that of the sage, allowing the other party to escape and be subdued. In the end, he seemed to have joined the Western Sect.
From then on, there was no more Master Kong Xuan, but in the West, there appeared a Bodhisattva called the Peacock King, who was also known as the Buddha Mother by her followers.
Upon hearing this, the Peacock Demon King felt as if his heart was being torn apart, with a thousand questions swirling in his mind that he desperately wanted to ask. So he quickly asked:
"What is this Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation? What is the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation? Are they the same as the tribulations you mentioned at the banquet earlier?"
And what kind of sect is the Western Religion? Is the Second Master very powerful? He is even called a saint. Has he left his name?
Finally, since my ancestor is called the Buddha Mother, could she be female? But how could a female have tail feathers?
Seeing the Peacock Demon King in front of him looking like a walking encyclopedia of questions, Wang Zheng pretended to scare him, fueled by alcohol.
"Hey, shut up! Demon King, remember that loose lips sink ships!"
Then Wang Zheng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the west, and said:
"The Western religion was founded by two saints who wanted to save all people and spread the faith to the human race."
As for how powerful the Sage Lord is?
To put it simply, since the beginning of time, the six strongest primordial beings have been these six lords.
As for the names of the sages, they should not be mentioned. Although these sages have been living in seclusion for several eons, we should still always hold them in high esteem.
Seeing Wang Zheng's serious expression, the Peacock Demon King quickly bowed three times to the west before sitting down again.
"Young friend, tell me more about the great calamity."
Wang Zheng quickly waved his hand.
"I don't know much about the great calamities of the world. I've only heard that there have been three so far, but my father said that it's time to face the calamity again."
"Three times? The Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, that's only twice, what about the last one?"
"The Dragon and Phoenix Calamity mainly affected the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan. The three clans, including the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Qilin lineage, fought for supremacy. In the end, under the great calamity of heaven and earth, they suffered heavy casualties and withdrew directly from the stage of the struggle for supremacy in the prehistoric world."
The second great calamity of the Lich Kings affected both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, resulting in countless casualties on both sides. Ultimately, the Human Clan established its dominant position in the world.
The third calamity was the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, which affected all living beings in the world. Even all kinds of innate beings could not escape the calamity and turned to ashes.
Finally, we've arrived at the present moment, and the fourth great calamity of heaven and earth has begun.
