Consuming the Great Path is very domineering.
The intangible aspect can consume auspicious virtues, temperament, and fate lines, while the tangible aspect can swallow immortals. When this path reaches the commanding level, even the entire Hundun world can be swallowed in one gulp. However, it's obvious that such a path cannot develop, as Hongjun Taodao places a very significant restriction on him.
At the end of the era of the initial dragon and phoenix calamity, Kunpeng obtained a piece of the Great Path sound on this giant mountain topped by Deng ChanYu. He used the Great Path sound to strengthen his path of consumption, raising the originally just a seed of the Great Path to a relatively high degree.
At that time, he swallowed those whose auspicious virtues and talents were high.
Kunpeng accumulated the auspicious virtues of many divine beasts and auspicious beasts onto himself, turning every misfortune into good luck and every difficulty into blessings. During this stage, he seized the opportunity as the calamity was about to end and swallowed Da Peng, the seventh son of Yuan Feng born at the same time as Kong Xuan.
He seized Da Peng's life pattern, auspiciousness, root, and talent. Afterward, without pause, he consumed the North Sea giant fish, Kun.
When he tried to swallow another divine beast, Hong Jun and Mogao Luo Hou finally decided on a winner, and Hong Jun became a saint.
His path of consumption was immediately restricted.
Before, it was as simple as wanting to swallow someone and then doing so, as long as they could be defeated.
Now, it had evolved to the point where those with great auspicious virtues could not be swallowed. Kunpeng was directly rendered speechless; in the Hundun world, anyone with some capability actually possessed some level of auspicious virtues. As long as there were auspicious virtues, they were considered greatauspicious virtues in the eyes of Taodao.
The ones left without auspicious virtues are all minor soldiers and lesser creatures. Swallowing a thousand or ten thousand of them won't bring any significant progress, and it might even accumulate bad karma, making them more dangerous during the great calamity.
When he was in Zixiao Palace, Kunpeng relied on the accumulated auspicious virtues from consuming numerous divine beasts and snatched the Seated Platform of the Dao. He even wanted to become a disciple of Hongjun, and he said, "Don't target me, I will be your disciple; we will become one family. What do you think?" Hongjun's answer was not good; it was "get lost!"
Kunpeng could not be whitewashed and had to find a way on his own.
He used part of his origin essence and blood to "create" the Winged God, making him bear the karma of destroying the Hundun world by the Phoenix race. He swallowed the title of the King of Birds and seized a portion of the Feng clan's qi yun.
At the end of the ancient war, the strength of the Dragon and Phoenix races was roughly equal. However, now the Dragon race occupies the Four Seas with countless dragon sons and grandsons, while the Phoenix race is desolate with only a few big and small cats. The reason for this is that Kunpeng, using the identity of Da Peng, swallowed away what was left of the Feng clan's qi yun. Moreover, Yuan Feng and her sisters are completely unaware of this.
Similarly, in the Ku family, he also created a group of descendants of Ku, and entrusted them with the qi yun while keeping the karma for himself.
He also joined Di Jun's Heavenly Court and participated in various major battles.
In fact, he always had the intention to be purified, but unfortunately, the primordial world was unwilling to accept him, and he was also unwilling to abandon his fundamental path of consumption.
At present, he is stirring up disputes between the dragons and the tortoises, sending Kun Dao Ren to seize the newly emerged Great Path Sound, and eventually swallowing the newly born True Blue Sea Dragon as his third avatar with the help of a Great Path Sound that surpasses one level above Hongjun's Tao.
Mission accomplished!
But his plan was utterly disrupted, and now he's even worse off. Not only did he not get the True Blue Sea Dragon, but the Great Path Sound was also stolen, and even Ku Dao Ren awakened his self-awareness and ran away!
Kun Dao Ren ran away! His evil corpse is gone!
This is no longer the matter of "losing the wife and soldiers," but a complete setback, pushing him back to the era of Dragon and Phoenix Initiation.
On the other hand, Deng ChanYu was singing high, and Kunpeng felt his innermost spirit of Da Peng was also touched. He worried that Zheng YuanZi and others would rush over, and now that he was only at the level of cutting down one body realm, he couldn't beat Zheng YuanZi at all. Howling him as someone who only knows defense and doesn't know how to attack was useless anyway; there was a huge gap between their realms, which could not be compensated for with magic or experience alone. If he added YunXiao and Zhao GongMing as some assistants, he would definitely die here.
No need to say more, let's run!
Without even looking at the winner of Xuan Wu's final victory, he ran as fast as he could.
The tremors caused by the Great Path Sound entered the main world of Hundun.
Deng Jiugong laughed heartily, "It's all over, pay up! Pay up!"
Huang Feihu, Huang Feibiao, and Huang Gonglao Senior had to reluctantly take out their money.
In the unseen places, the qi yun of Han was surging wildly.
For the first time, the qi yun of Han's 100 birds was the first to suppress that of the three northern states. The Phoenix Sound of Zhou, Xuaniao of Shang, and Longxiang of Qi were all suppressed. Zhou's qi yun and Shang's qi yun appeared somewhat humble in the face of Han's qi yun, as if there was a hint of "offering tea to a senior." Qi's Longxiang showed dissatisfaction, but it was useless at this point. Whether friend or foe around them, it was Feng Clan qi yun; only Qi had one Dragon Clan qi yun.
Previously, Han could fight to a draw with any two of the northern states. Now, it was the first time Han had the ability to suppress all three simultaneously, at least as far as qi yun was concerned.
The Supreme Taoist of the Jade Clearance Palace, Yuanshi, saw this scene and was not pleased. He had said many times that he wanted to restore Zhou and overthrow Shang, but here they come again?
He waved his hand and wanted to suppress the flourishing qi yun of Han.
With his power as a Saint, it was only a matter of whether he wanted to do it or not, not whether he could.
Nu Wa coughed in the Wu Palace and said, "Brother, are you involved in earthly matters too deeply? This may not be the path of purity."
In the presence of equals in the realm of sainthood, Yuanshi would not invoke the concept of heaven's will. What is heaven's will? It is what a sage says you have that you have, and what he says you don't have that you don't have.
"What do you mean, sister?"
"The event of promoting Zhou and overthrowing Shang is feasible."
Yuanshi retracted his hand, with no smile or sadness on his face: "Well."
"Promoting Zhou and overthrowing Shang" has always been the term used by the Orthodox School, while the Separatist School does not recognize it. You say promote Zhou and it will be promoted? Who are you? But because this matter is not important, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa, as well as Taiqing and the two Western Saints all give face to Yuanshi. Ah, that's right, whatever you say is right.
The succession of a mundane political regime is not worth the concern of the sages.
A sage's seclusion lasts for an element (an elemental time unit) each time, while the human realm has a thousand-year dynasty?
It's not necessary to spend energy studying the alternation of dynasties in the human realm. It's like the common people of the heavenly court, in their eyes, whether it's a black uncle in Rwanda who rules or a general or a commander, they all look the same.
Now Nu Wa has given face and recognized the "promoting Zhou and overthrowing Shang" theory. Yuanshi also stepped back appropriately. As long as I can get by on the surface, it's okay as long as Zhou "prosper" once. After that, he won't care about anything else.
The Phoenix of Xuanhuang, with the Great Path Sound in its possession, finally restored half of its former splendor as the Crimson Phoenix.
As the King of Birds, the phoenix's cry resonated with all avian creatures in the primordial world, prompting them to respond.
This was just an idea. In fact, besides the ordinary birds in the mortal world, many powerful beings in the Hundun World, such as the Ninth Heaven Divine Woman and Qingluan, were shaking their heads and smiling. The Feng Clan had indeed moved on, just like how the ancient Fuxi was no longer the same as today's Phoenix. Today's Phoenix is different from the Crimson Phoenix.
She does not have the authority to command all birds in the world, and the Heavenly Tao of the primordial world does not permit her to have such power.
However, as a returning ruler of the deceased, Nu Wa decided to give her disciple a boost. My disciple is the King of Birds; she is an adopted brother of Zhenyuan Zi. How impressive! Although Yuanshi also took Zhuo as a disciple, they are not on the same level as Zhenyuan Zi.
Nu Wa was very happy.
