Chapter 568: Kun Peng’s Invitation

　　So powerful…

　　In Yun Xiao’s sleeve, Li Changshou looked at the battle at the edge of the Chaos Sea and could not help but sigh in admiration.

　　Two streams of light shuttled quickly at the edge of the Chaos Sea. Every time they clashed, they would cause layers of “waves” on the Chaos Sea. Countless black shadows were reduced to ashes by the various distorted and disorderly attacks.

　　It was the vibration of the Dao laws.

　　Kun Peng was born with extreme speed. Its speed in the Connate Dao Body state had almost exceeded the limits of the Primordial World’s laws. There were no restrictions at the edge of the Chaos Sea.

　　That made Li Changshou suspect that the old molting of Kun Peng that he had killed previously was actually a weakened version.

　　The Great Daoist Master held the Cosmic Ruler and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda above his head. He controlled the Great Dao of Cosmic Life and could barely follow Kun Peng through continuous teleportation.

　　The two of them chased each other. The Great Daoist Master’s figure kept flickering. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda suppressed his body and could not be invaded. The Cosmic Ruler in his hand could draw cracks in the Chaos Sea.

　　Kun Peng’s figure swayed and left behind afterimages. He dodged the Cosmic Ruler’s attack and condensed the power of the incomplete Dao law in his palm. He could punch and slap the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda until it trembled slightly.

　　Clearly, the current Demon Master Kun Peng was stronger than in the ancient times.

　　As soon as the battle began, the Connate Godfiends were about to surround the Great Daoist Master.

　　“Guard the Taiji Painting well.”

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit shouted softly. Her body turned into a golden ray of light and entered the black shadow.

　　In an instant, the sword cut through the sky. The image of an azure dragon, white tiger, and divine beast emerged from the jade ruyi and smashed towards the two Connate Godfiends.

　　Zhao Gongming immediately chased after him. The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls around him were dyed with endless blue. He said, “I’ll protect the Golden Spirit.”

　　Beside him, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit said gently, “Everyone, please attack. I have a way to protect this place.”

　　After saying that, he raised the jade flute in his hand and produced a sharp flute sound. It blasted the endless number of otherworldly demons into pitch-black “fireworks”.

　　That was not all. Green streams of light flowed from the entrance of the world below. They were like vines and branches that quickly intertwined. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a huge turtle shell that completely sealed off the entrance to the Primordial World.

　　Fairy Yun Xiao’s beautiful figure flashed and appeared among the Skyfiends. The Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in her hand shone brightly. Beams of light that carried the power of returning to the origin pierced through the world, causing the Connate Godfiends to subconsciously retreat.

　　Then, Perfected Yu Ding covered the sky with one hand. His broad back revealed an aura that could sweep through the universe. It made Perfected Huang Long’s heart race.

　　Perfected Huang Long shouted, “I’m going!”

　　“Hey.” Perfected Taiyi hurriedly pulled Huang Long. “Senior Brother, where are you going? Make sure there is always someone to guard the Taiji Painting.”

　　Perfected Huang Long blinked and Perfected Taiyi nodded with a solemn expression.

　　Perfected Huang Long muttered, “Why don’t we continue guarding here?”

　　Perfected Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves and sighed. “The glory belongs to them. We’ll just do some tiring work.”

　　At the side, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit’s flute sounded a little chaotic. She was speechless.

　　When the experts of the Dao Sect appeared, the situation changed.

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who could only defend, began to chase after Kun Peng. The Goddess of Golden Spirit and the other experts rushed to kill the Connate Godfiends and began to fight the otherworldly demons.

　　Li Changshou hid in Fairy Yun Xiao’s sleeve. He was prepared to appear when Fairy Yun Xiao was in danger, but he realized…

　　The strength of his Dao companion was a little beyond his expectations.

　　Yun Xiao did not have any defensive Dharma treasures. She was only surrounded by faint clouds. Her long dress flickered with cold immortal light. However, the surrounding otherworldly demons that were continuously rushing over would melt when they were a thousand feet away from her.

　　This was the edge of the Chaos Sea. The complete Dao law of the Primordial World was still there. The concept of distance was still clear.

　　The Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in Yun Xiao’s hand revealed its power without holding back. Beams of golden light swept tens of millions of kilometers, and large swaths of the void evaporated.

　　After an unknown period of battle, Yun Xiao appeared not far away from the Connate Godfiend, the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she pointed at the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.

　　A ray of golden light was like a sword shadow. It melted half of the Heavenly Demon Venerate’s huge body. The Heavenly Demon Venerate let out a sharp whistle. His body suddenly shrank and turned into a black light that entered the Chaos Sea.

　　The otherworldly demons that filled the sky were defeated. The Connate Godfiends that had been retreating continuously fled.

　　The fact that they were able to escape from the Heavenly Tribulation showed that the living beings of the Chaos Sea, who were “casually growing”, were not weak at escaping. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

　　At that moment, the Great Daoist Master and the Demon Master Kun Peng were still fighting.

　　Kun Peng’s eyes contained a hint of ruthlessness. A pitch-black ball of light condensed in his palm. His body dodged the Cosmic Cracks that could devour him at any time and pressed down on the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.

　　Outside Xuandu City, black light flashed everywhere. The Great Daoist Master was temporarily blocked.

　　A wave-like Dao rune rippled and circulated at the edge of the Chaos Sea. Kun Peng’s hoarse voice accompanied the spiritual will and sounded in the hearts of the Dao Sect experts.

　　“That foreigner!”

　　Li Changshou, who was originally conducting the research on the second stage of the Extraterrestrial Demon, frowned when he heard that.

　　That title was so suggestive.

　　“Do you want to know the truth about the Primordial World? Come to the Chaos Sea to look for me! Hahaha! Hahahaha!”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　The immortals of the Dao Sect were speechless.

　　He could basically confirm that Kun Peng was definitely Senior Lang’s “direct connection”!

　　The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched.

　　He suddenly had the urge to bow and apologize to the native living beings of the Primordial World on behalf of his fellow seniors.

　　At the edge of the Chaos Sea, Kun Peng’s figure had already disappeared.

　　The moment the black light erupted, Kun Peng revealed its main body. Its huge Dao Body exceeded the immortals’ vision.

　　Then, the Dao Body seemed to tremble and instantly disappeared at the edge of the Chaos Sea, leaving behind surging Chaos aura that left the boundary of all their detection methods.

　　That was the true speed, the extreme of a Great Dao!

　　“Ah…”

　　Perfected Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back and muttered softly, “Even a Saint might not be able to defeat this Kun Peng in the Chaos Sea.”

　　Cold sweat broke out on Perfected Huang Long’s forehead. “Be careful with your words. You can’t say that casually.”

　　Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “We are not in the Three Realms now. Our words will not be heard by the Saints. Why should we be afraid?”

　　“Well, don’t have such thoughts.”

　　Perfected Huang Long said that. Several streams of light flew over from above. It was the Great Daoist Master and the others returning on their own.

　　The Taiji Painting slowly enlarged and enveloped the entire Xuandu City.

　　The Great Daoist Master made a gesture and sank into the Taiji Painting with the experts from the Dao Sect who had come to help. They landed on a relatively flat ground and exhaled softly before sitting down.

　　“Thank you, Junior Brothers and Sisters.” The Great Daoist Master cupped his hands and his aura was a little weak. “I almost could not hold on. Teacher’s Taiji Painting really consumes too much Dharmic power.”

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit, Perfected Huang Long, and the experts of the two sects bowed. The Great Daoist Master waved his hand coolly and gestured for them to not be overly polite. He pointed out seven meditation cushions.

　　Zhao Gongming said in a low voice, “How is this Demon Master Kun Peng so powerful?”

　　Fairy Yun Xiao pondered for a while and gave the correct answer.

　　“It’s the origin of the Primordial Phoenix.”

　　Seeing the curious gazes of her fellow disciples, Fairy Yun Xiao told them about how she had entered the Chaos Sea with Li Changshou and encountered the old molting of Kun Peng.

　　Yun Xiao’s eyes lit up as she said gently,

　　“When we returned from the Chaos Sea, he had once said that it might not be Kun Peng’s main body, but the old molting that Kun Peng used to confuse the living beings of the Primordial World. The origin power of the Primordial Phoenix that Kun Peng stole was also gone.

　　Now that I think about it, his deduction is completely correct… In terms of intelligence, even Kun Peng is inferior to him.”

　　“Ahem.” Zhao Gongming said softly, “Second Sister, take it in. You’re almost praising it.”

　　The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Changgeng’s schemes are indeed not weak. Did Changgeng inform you to come over?”

　　In Yun Xiao’s sleeve, Li Changshou stuck his head out and cupped his fists at the Great Daoist Master. Then, he flew out of his sleeve and transformed into the size of a normal person. He smiled and said, “Senior Brother is in trouble. How can I not come?”

　　The Great Daoist Master scolded jokingly, “Then why didn’t you appear and use your Great Dao of Equalization just now? If you can leave Kun Peng behind, the Primordial World will be greatly reduced.”

　　“This…”

　　Li Changshou looked helpless and said, “I don’t want to meet Kun Peng. I don’t want to be bewitched by his demonic words.”

　　The immortals from the Dao Sect looked at each other and recalled Kun Peng’s words.

　　The Great Daoist Master was puzzled. “He called you a foreigner. When you were sleeping beside Teacher, I heard him mention it. However, why did he ask you to go to the Chaos Sea to look for him? He even said the truth about the Primordial World.”

　　Li Changshou frowned and shrugged. He spread his hands. “Perhaps he’s lonely.”

　　The immortals could not help but laugh, but they did not ask further.

　　According to the rules of the Primordial World, it was a taboo to investigate others.

　　Since the experts were there, they could not ignore the mess in the Xuandu City.

　　Under Master Zhao’s initiative, Perfected Taiyi and Perfected Huang Long, who were good at array formations, became the “main immortals” who repaired the array formations in Xuandu City.

　　He could not let them come for nothing. He had to create some value.

　　Zhao Gongming and the others sat down and discussed the Dao with the Great Daoist Master. Li Changshou looked up and saw that the scenery was magnificent. The ruins were filled with the thick aura of the “prehistoric human language”. He invited Fairy Yun Xiao to take a stroll together.

　　Yun Xiao naturally agreed happily and went to the city with Li Changshou.

　　Li Changshou said, “Can you use the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice to conceal my figure?”

　　“Huh?” Yun Xiao was a little confused. However, when she saw Li Changshou frown slightly, as if he did not understand something difficult, she immediately took out the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and put him inside.

　　Following that, a wisp of Yin and Yang Qi floated over and sealed outside the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.

　　It was the same as when Qi Yuan had died and Li Changshou had used the excuse of recuperating to hide in the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice to perfect his Great Dao of Equalization.

　　However, this time, Li Changshou did not summon his Great Dao. Instead, he sat there in a daze.

　　A moment later, Li Changshou cursed Kun Peng in a low voice. He took out a blank scroll and began to write.

　　Senior Lang was indeed with Kun Peng…

　　It was very difficult to believe that Senior Lang was a “kind person”.

　　That’s right.

　　Senior Lang was considered a Connate lifeform in the Primordial World. After staying in the Primordial World for a long time, it was normal for his thoughts and opinions to change.

　　Judging from the reaction of Senior Brother and Yun Xiao just now, it was obvious they knew nothing about Senior Lang.

　　Li Changshou had already guessed that. That information could confirm Senior Lang’s “state” back then.

　　He should have nurtured a second essence soul and hid it in the same body as the second essence power. He had absolute control over his Dao Body and second essence soul!

　　Based on Senior Lang’s personality, he might be a famous expert in the Primordial World!

　　It was a brilliant concealment technique.

　　Then, the experts of the Primordial World that disappeared in the ancient times might be Senior Lang…

　　Demon Emperor? No, there is no need to poach Xi He.

　　Uh, there are two Demon Emperors.

　　This suspicion is worth keeping. Although the probability is not high, there is indeed such a possibility.

　　From the information I obtained, Senior Lang is not a good person.

　　Perhaps the morals of such good people and bad people are too shallow. It’s not easy for them to survive in the Primordial World.

　　However, it was precisely because of his superficial sense of right and wrong that he could remain true to himself. Li Changshou could then tell himself that he was different from other living beings.

　　What did Kun Peng say just now?

　　It was very simple. Kun Peng knew everything that happened back then. It possessed the latter half of Senior Lang’s “yearbook” and knew the secret of Senior Lang’s madness.

　　Apart from that, as long as he went to the place where he encountered Kun Peng previously, he would most likely be able to obtain clues about Kun Peng.

　　Li Changshou could not help but ask himself three questions.

　　“What can I obtain by knowing this? What is my goal for reaching this point? What is Kun Peng’s goal for causing trouble so openly?”

　　The answers were:

　　“The satisfaction of curiosity. A lifetime of peace. He might be using me to plot something.”

　　Then, why should I respond to Kun Peng? Why should I explore the Chaos Sea?

　　At that moment, Kun Peng was already a huge obstacle to his retirement plan. This fellow always wanted to pull him into strange karma.

　　In fact, this was the “lingering charm” left behind by Senior Lang. It was a “disturbance” left behind by Senior Lang during the long years of the Primordial World. Due to the “coexistence” between him and Senior Lang, all the “variables” left behind by Senior Lang were drawn towards him.

　　That concept was a little abstract and seemed to be destined. It gave Li Changshou a headache.

　　I have to think of a way to avoid being disturbed…

　　“What’s wrong?”

　　Fairy Yun Xiao’s soft voice spread into his ears. “Did you encounter any difficulties?”

　　Li Changshou sighed and sat at the bottom of the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. He shook his head and sighed. “I’m thinking about whether to roast Kun Peng wings with a little bit of spices or a moderate amount of spice.”

　　“Huh?”

　　“It’s fine, it’s fine. Just let me calm down for a while.”

　　“If you have any difficulties, tell me. I can help you share some of the burden.”

　　Fairy Yun Xiao looked at the golden ball in her palm that was spinning slowly and a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. She said gently, “I’ve been here all along.”

　　“Yes.” Li Changshou’s response came from the golden battle. Yun Xiao did not say anything else and just stood there quietly.

　　After an unknown period of time, Perfected Taiyi and Perfected Huang Long repaired all the array formations that could be repaired. They rode a cloud and floated back to where Zhao Gongming and the other immortals were.

　　Li Changshou still did not come out of the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit looked in the direction of Yun Xiao and frowned. “Eldest Senior Brother, what is Changgeng’s relationship with Kun Peng?”

　　“As far as I know, it’s not related.”

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du replied with a thoughtful expression.

　　Perfected Huang Long was puzzled. “Then why did Kun Peng appear this time? It seems to be looking for Junior Brother Changgeng?”

　　The experts of the Dao Sect pondered and could not explain.

　　“Why are you thinking so much?”

　　Master Zhao smiled brightly. “Who doesn’t know Changgeng? Don’t say that behind his back. Otherwise, Changgeng will be unhappy. Changgeng is currently a person who is undergoing the God-Conferment Master Tribulation. He must know many things that we don’t.”

　　Perfected Yu Ding said, “I know a little.”

　　With a whoosh, gazes as sharp as knives gathered on Perfected Yu Ding.

　　Perfected Yu Ding smiled bitterly and said, “In the ancient times, there was a huge battle outside of what we know. At that time, I sensed that a powerful living being was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao. It happened before and after Grandmaster’s Dao Integration.”

　　The immortals had different expressions when they heard that.

　　The Goddess of Turtle Spirit muttered softly, “If it’s related to Grandmaster, it’s best that we don’t talk about it.”

　　Perfected Huang Long frowned and asked, “Are you sure Changgeng is not the reincarnation of an ancient mighty figure?”

　　“Changgeng is a primordial soul,” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said. “When I first met Changgeng, his cultivation level was still low and his Great Dao was not obvious. I had once investigated his background before I could trust him.”

　　“He has reached his current cultivation level in a few hundred years. What he cultivates is a Great Dao that we can’t even imagine. He is closely related to the Heavenly Dao…”

　　Perfected Taiyi paused and looked helpless. He sighed and said, “If this fellow was born in the ancient times, he would probably not be of the same generation as our Grandmaster.”

　　The experts of the Dao Sect frowned and looked at Perfected Taiyi. Their expressions were a little unhappy.

　　Perfected Taiyi silently leaned towards Perfected Yu Ding with a warm smile.

　　…

　　In the unknown Chaos Sea, a few spiritual wills intertwined. They were naturally the Connate Godfiends who had just defeated the Xuandu City. They were questioning Kun Peng.

　　If translated into the common language of the Primordial World, it would probably say,

　　“You said that you could take down the Xuandu City and let us enter the Primordial World to plunder the power of living beings. Why did you keep delaying and not attack? Why did you deliberately attract those Dao Sect disciples?”

　　Kun Peng said coldly, “Are you teaching me what to do?”

　　The spiritual will instantly left his heart and remained silent.

　　Kun Peng snorted and seemed to be a little annoyed. In order to appease the Connate Godfiends, he replied perfunctorily, “I’m just fishing for the big fish. No living being can resist the temptation of seeing the truth of history. Living beings were like that. They always felt that the past could be changed. They were just trying to obtain more information about their passing to prove their greatness and obtain hypocritical pleasure. Just wait. The living being that I summoned will definitely come to the Chaos Sea to look for me. I am certain.”

　　The few spiritual wills fell silent.

　　Another spiritual will asked, “What can we do if we obtain this living being?”

　　Kun Peng was silent for a while. “At the very least, you can laugh at Hong Jun.”

　　A few spiritual wills immediately became excited and let out ear-piercing whistles.

　　Among the sharp whistles, a gentle spiritual will asked weakly, “Master, do you need to eat?”

　　“There’s no need. You’ve exhausted too much. Fill yourself up first.”

　　“Ah ~ Master is so gentle.”

　　“Shut up! If you speak again, I’ll swallow you!”

　　The few spiritual wills immediately quietened down. Only a few huge bodies swam in the Chaos Sea like dead objects.

　　Then, Kun Peng and his companions began a long, endless wait.
