Kong Xuan traveled across the primordial continent, flying to its center and reaching a height of millions of miles. He then dropped the Primordial Stele, which rapidly expanded during its descent, growing to tens of thousands of miles high and hundreds of miles wide upon contact with the primordial earth. Without a deafening sound, the Primordial Stele quickly merged with the earth, remaining enormous despite being partially absorbed. Once the merging was complete, a myriad of colorful clouds appeared in the sky, and a vast expanse of primordial yellow energy descended. Kong Xuan absorbed twenty percent of it, taking in the remaining eighty percent.
At this moment, several lines of text appeared on the Primordial Stele: Deeds Ranking: 1. Pangu Creates Heaven and Earth; 2. Hongjun Educates the Primordial Beings. The Divine Weapon Ranking and Cultivation Technique Ranking require the blood of the holder of the magical treasure or the owner of the cultivation technique to appear. However, there was nothing on it. This is because magical treasures belong to oneself; if one were to reveal them to others, wouldn't one suffer losses in a fight?
After the matter was completed, Kong Xuan returned to the mountain to report back and handed over the Xuanhuang Merit Qi to his master, asking him to refine it into a magic weapon.
The gods and demons took three-tenths of the merit, the Five Elements Divine Armor, the Five-Colored Feathers, and a lotus seed from the Chaos Green Lotus. They refined it with the Primordial Purple Fire for a hundred years to create two treasures. The first is the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, which is immune to all evil and is mainly for defense. It cannot be broken except by innate supreme treasures.
The Five-Colored Feather Fan can be used to destroy innate magical treasures. It contains a five-colored space and cannot be broken by anyone other than a quasi-saint.
Kong Xuan thanked his master and entered the Kong Xuan Heavenly Palace to refine the magic weapon and cultivate his techniques.
Chapter 25, Part 11: Divine Punishment of Heaven and Earth, The Seal of Longing (Part 2)
Sages are the primordial chaos, the core of the universe. Their joys and sorrows are constantly reflected in the primordial chaos. While the primordial chaos is absent, another world experiences a rain of longing. December 12th, 2060, China. The sky is clear, the sun smiles on the branches, and white clouds dance high in the sky. Suddenly, a fine rain begins to fall, very soft and delicate, drifting and swirling in the air, never to touch the ground.
Shennongjia was a place devoid of clear skies and gentle rain, only thick, dark clouds, rumbling thunder, and an aura of fear permeating the entire space. Beneath these clouds, a young girl stood quietly on the verdant grass, embracing a man. Gazing at the flashing lightning, she softly said, "Do you know, the day you left, some inexplicable words suddenly appeared in my mind. I don't recognize them, yet I clearly understand their meaning. And so I began my cultivation, and learned that there was a vaster world beyond. But… I don't know if I'll ever see your smile again, hear your words again. Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I'm about to undergo my tribulation. But when will you wake up? I've cried for you time and time again. I miss you so much. I will always be with you, even in death, I will hold you in my arms, because I promised you, 'I will always be with you, until the moment my soul returns to the underworld.'"
The heavenly tribulation showed no mercy, only indulging in its fury and venting its pent-up emotions, paying no heed to the girl's prayers.
Boom, boom, boom... In the blink of an eye, eight bolts of heavenly lightning roared past. The girl coughed up blood, but she still held the man and said softly, "I can't go on. Since I can't overcome the heavenly tribulation, let's stay together and hold each other as we go to meet in another world."
The dark clouds grew thicker, and violent lightning raged across the entire space, enveloping the girl in an aura of death.
A bolt of lightning, tens of feet thick, struck the girl...
Suddenly, it started to rain—a drizzle, a rain of the heart, or whispers from the soul. Was it longing, persistence, or love?
At that moment, a persistent longing transcended time and space, wandering through this world as if searching for something. Everywhere it went brought tears and sorrow; this was the allure of its wounded essence. It swept across the entire world, including her beneath Shennongjia.
In the drizzle, who sighs? In unwavering devotion, who sheds tears? In whispered words, who yearns? In the rain of the heart, how much helplessness lies beneath? Fine raindrops fall silently, each drop a whisper of the heart, piercing the entire world. When longing fades into the distance, will she in this world receive it?
Suddenly she smiled, a sweet and beautiful smile. She gently savored that longing, caressed that longing. She understood its meaning: in the days she was here, I didn't wait for her; in the days I left, I didn't wait for her either. Longing and yearning, accompanied by tears and unwavering persistence, wander in endless space, just to find you, the one I once knew. Longing, like a gentle stream, clings so tightly, so tightly. I don't know when I can return, when I can see my beloved in the distance. The yellow sand may age the years, but it cannot age my longing. So many days and nights, I dream of returning to my hometown.
Who sighs softly in the darkness? Who murmurs under the moonlight? Who buries a faint sorrow in the snowflakes? And who knows whose reflection lingers in each teardrop?
On the vast and desolate land, suddenly the Great Sage Equaling Heaven roared once more, "In my name, I awaken the heart of time, and accelerate the passage of years!" The Great Sage Equaling Heaven then rapidly faded away and disappeared with the wind.
"Master!" Kong Xuan cried out in anguish.
Within the Divine Punishment Hall, the cocoon of light trembled uneasily, its immense aura soaring into the sky and echoing throughout the entire Penglai Island, causing the spirit beasts to tremble in fear.
The drizzle continued in Shennongjia, but suddenly the entire space was filled with rays of light, golden lotuses bloomed, and a figure appeared in the space. He waved his hand and the dark clouds disappeared, and the tribulation lightning vanished.
"Ke'er, I'm here," a soft whisper conveyed a myriad of sorrows and endless longings.
The girl's tightly closed eyes snapped open, and seeing the familiar figure before her, she flew up...
A roar echoed from the heavens: "The Limitless Seal of the Heavenly Dao!" Instantly, a bead shimmering with seven-colored light appeared, emanating a terrifying suction force that pulled at the entire space...
