Purple Jade Sect:
Gu Hai frowned at the map the Purple Jade Sect Master handed over.
The world was significantly different from eight hundred thousand years later. Of course, he could still make out the general shape from the map.
The Divine Continent remained the same, but not the mountains and rivers or the locations of certain sects.
Gu Hai should be in the Thousand Islands Sea’s region. However, there was no Thousand Islands Sea here but a titanic continent.
“Everyone returned to where they were born?” Gu Hai’s expression changed as he recalled what Old Mister Guan Qi had said.
The place of birth?
I was not born in this world. However, the location I appeared at should be where I first arrived in the Six Paths Immortal Firmament when I transmigrated.
Is this the same for the others?
Gu Hai memorized the map. Then, he looked at the Purple Jade Sect disciples at the side.
Everyone was initially suspicious, feeling this was an undeserved catastrophe, when Gu Hai started studying the map seriously. Could this senior have been in closed-door cultivation for centuries? The Purple Jade Sect just had the bad luck to run into him?
Gu Hai looked at the Purple Jade Sect Master. After taking a deep breath, he said, “I am truly sorry for the destruction caused to your sect earlier.”
“No, not at all. Senior, it is just some plants, trees, and buildings. Nothing much!” The Purple Jade Sect Master immediately smiled obsequiously.
He did not dare to ask for compensation.
“How about this? I’ll help you perfect this Go Dao ritual array as compensation?” Gu Hai offered seriously.
“Ah?” Everyone felt startled.
Then, they saw Gu Hai extend his hand and nod.
Rumble…!
The Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array trembled, and visible purple threads appeared.
Buzz!
The ritual array suddenly withdrew and disappeared.
Previously, faint purple smoke could be seen. Now, it was like it did not exist.
Gu Hai extended his hand again and splattered some ink on a sheet of paper. Plenty of words and diagrams immediately appeared on that sheet.
“I helped you increase the power of the Go Dao ritual array by five times. Here is the ritual array diagram. You can study it.” Gu Hai proffered the ritual array diagram.
“Uh…oh! Alright. Alright!” The Purple Jade Sect Master received the diagram in confusion.
“Goodbye!” Gu Hai called out indifferently.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai soared into the sky and vanished.
Everyone watched Gu Hai leave. Then, they looked anxiously at the ritual array diagram in the Purple Jade Sect Master’s hand, showing strange expressions.
The Purple Jade Sect Master scanned the ritual array diagram and was amazed. Five times? It might be even more. Once I grasp it, not to mention a third-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator, even a fifth-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator might not be able to escape it!
Some plants and buildings? What are those worth? This ritual array diagram is a priceless treasure!
The sect’s foundational treasure, the Purple Jade Book, might not even compare to this ritual array diagram.
I initially thought it was a devastating calamity. However, it is actually a blessing from heaven!
“Sect Master, should we request the Six Paths Veritable Lord to pursue and kill that person?” a disciple whispered.
“You fool! My Purple Jade Sect did not lose anything. Also, spread the word. No one is to speak of what happened today. Otherwise, don’t blame this sect master for being ruthless!” the Purple Jade Sect Master shouted coldly.
“Yes!” the disciples answered.
——
Gu Hai flew quickly in the sky. As he did so, his mind raced.
“The first thing to do is to find the others. The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access is where Borderless Heavenly Capital would be. There’s no need to search for him. If he hides, no one can find him. Even if I go there, he will have left. Shangguan Hen? I don’t know where he was born. Furthermore, he is capable of seventy-two transformations, so he should be safe. With Mo Yike’s intelligence, he should be safe as well. This leaves Ao Shun and Kong Xuan. Ao Shun is definitely in the Northern Sea Dragon Palace. The current dragon race’s prime should be Ao Tianhuang’s past life. Given the father-and-son relationship, they should protect each other, right? As for Kong Xuan, he is definitely at the peacock race’s base, which should be near the Solar Divine Palace, and it is the closest to this place. He will be the easiest to find. I shall search for Kong Xuan first.” A grave gleam flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai quickly flew towards the peacock race’s base.
——
A seashore near the Solar Divine Palace, Divine Continent:
Boom!
Kong Xuan fell to the ground like a meteor.
Coo! Coo!
A large flock of peacocks immediately surrounded this meteor, glaring at what fell from the sky.
Kong Xuan rubbed his head as he climbed out of the rubble.
“Who are you?! Where are you from?!” a large peacock shouted furiously.
Kong Xuan’s daze cleared up somewhat. He raised his head and looked at the ferocious peacocks outside.
Although these peacocks acted ferociously towards Kong Xuan, he did not blame them. They were peacocks. He was the peacock race’s prime from eight hundred thousand years later, defending the peacock race. How could he be angry at them?
“Humph! The Southwest Peacock King just died, and we have not found the culprit yet. Now, this person of unknown origin appears out of nowhere. There must be something wrong with him!”
“That’s right! Capture him!”
“No one has ever dared to humiliate my peacock race like this!”
The peacocks were furious.
Suddenly, the leader flapped its wings.
Whoosh!
A beam of azure light appeared, swinging at Kong Xuan like a whip.
“Oh? You have already formed the azure light? Not bad!” Kong Xuan smiled.
As the azure light swung over, Kong Xuan flicked his finger.
Bang!
The azure whip suddenly exploded.
“What? What happened to First Elder Brother’s azure divine light?” The peacocks felt like they faced a great enemy.
Coo!
Kong Xuan let out a cry and flung out his hand.
Boom!
A five-colored divine light shot out at the group of peacocks.
“Ah!” the peacocks screamed as the threat of death flooded their minds.
However, the five-colored divine light did not touch any peacock. They remained safe.
Buzz!
The five-colored divine light vanished.
The peacocks no longer felt any fear but great joy instead. “Was that a five-colored divine light earlier? Something that only an elder-class peacock can bring out? Elder?”
“Salutations, Elder. We have been rude!” the peacocks immediately saluted respectfully.
“Alright. Bring me some clothes!” Kong Xuan said indifferently.
“Yes!”
A group of peacocks flew off and quickly found clothes for Kong Xuan. Then, they prepared a bath and a place to change for him.
Since Kong Xuan appeared to be a peacock race elder, the peacocks naturally obeyed him.
After bathing and changing clothes, Kong Xuan stepped onto a mountain peak and looked around. The peacocks behind reported all the recent news to him.
“Eight hundred thousand years ago? I have indeed returned!” Kong Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he surveyed the area.
“Elder, what did you say?” a peacock at the side asked in confusion.
“This is a small tribe of the peacock race? Haha! Time changes all things. It has changed. I wonder how the peacock race is now!” Worry flashed in Kong Xuan’s eyes.
After all, the peacock race was pitifully small in number eight hundred thousand years later.
“Elder must have been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, right? My peacock race is a great race among the bird spirits. In this world, only the phoenix race can compare to it. How could the other races compare to my peacock race? Furthermore, a super peacock deity appears in my peacock race every ten thousand years, guaranteeing that my peacock race will never go into decline!” said a peacock behind Kong Xuan, smiling.
“A super peacock deity?” Kong Xuan repeated with a frown.
Why have I not heard of it before? What super peacock deity?
“Elder does not know?”
“Cut the crap and speak!” Kong Xuan frowned.
“Right! Right! A super peacock deity can cultivate a six-colored divine light. A sixth color!”
“A sixth color?”
“Indeed. Elder’s five-colored divine light can cut all things. However, when the sixth color emerges, it can even cut the cycle of reincarnation. Nothing can stop it. None of the bird spirit races dare to contest with my race, save the phoenix race. The current prime has the six-colored divine light, a super peacock deity!” that peacock explained.
“Six-colored divine light?” Kong Xuan frowned slightly. This was his first time hearing of it.
“Unfortunately, Prime is approaching the limit of his lifespan and will be returning to the cycle of reincarnation. For some reason, the peacock race has been under constant attack. One after another, peacock kings are being killed,” that peacock said with an unsightly expression.
“Oh?” Kong Xuan frowned slightly.
“Prime has sent people to investigate. The peacock race is currently in danger!”
“Prime? You say that he is approaching the limits of his lifespan. What do you mean?” Kong Xuan asked.
“I hear that it might be within these two months. I’m not sure about the details,” that peacock sighed softly.
“So soon?” Kong Xuan exclaimed.
“Indeed. However, my peacock race has deep and vast accumulations. The various elders are powerful. We just need to wait ten thousand years, and the next super peacock deity will be born.” That peacock smiled.
“Is there a Solar Divine Palace nearby?” Kong Xuan asked.
“Uh…yes. The Solar Divine Palace has been expanding extremely aggressively these years. They have two palace masters, one is called the Supreme Singularity, and the other is the Supreme Genesis. I heard that they are formidable, especially the Supreme Singularity. He used his great strength to subdue several animal spirit kings,” that peacock said.
Coo! “Save me!” A large peacock in the distant sky roared at the peacock base as it was flying over. All its feathers had been ripped out.
A golden-winged roc was chasing it.
The golden-wing roc grabbed that peacock’s back with its claw.
“Ah!”
That peacock could not escape, looking like it would be taken away.
“Ah! That’s the peacock king managing Mao City! Oh no! Hurry, save the Mao City Peacock King!” the peacocks suddenly cried out.
However, how could the surrounding peacocks be as fast as a golden-winged roc? By the time they flapped their wings and soared into the air, the golden-winged roc had already flown forty-five thousand kilometers away.
“Halt!”
“Quickly inform the elders!”
“Oh no! Stop it!”
Countless peacocks cried out in alarm as they rushed out. However, that golden-winged roc was too fast. No one could catch up.
“Humph!” Kong Xuan snorted coldly.
He stepped forward, taking action.
Boom!
Kong Xuan arrived before the golden-winged roc nearly instantaneously, moving at an incredibly horrifying speed.
“Roar!” That golden-winged roc suddenly stopped, showing horror on its face.
“Who are you? How dare you block me?!” The golden-winged roc looked at Kong Xuan coldly.
“My identity is not important. The important thing is that you angered me!” Kong Xuan said with a ferocious expression.
“Angered you? You are seeking death!”
The golden-winged roc was holding the Mao City Peacock King with one claw, so it used the other claw to attack Kong Xuan.
With a ferocious expression, Kong Xuan flung out a hand.
Whoosh!
A beam of five-colored divine light flashed, cleanly cutting off that golden-winged roc’s two claws and making them vanish.
Bang!
Blood spurted from the golden-winged roc’s legs. The golden-winged roc’s expression twisted.
“My claws! Argh! You are dead now!” the golden-winged roc roared ferociously in pain. Apparently, it had a powerful backer.
“Still not enough?” Kong Xuan said coldly.
Whoosh!
The five-colored divine light shot out again. One of the golden-winged roc’s wings disappeared.
“Argh!” The golden-winged roc retreated in pain.
“Again?” Kong Xuan sneered.
Whoosh! Another beam of five-colored divine light shot out.
