Background
Yuan Feng was gravely injured following the decline of the ancient Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans. After encountering and absorbing Five Elements Qi while traveling toward Undying Volcano, Yuan Feng gave birth to Kong Xuan at Fallen Phoenix Slope. Five-colored light illuminated heaven and earth at his birth, after which he fled before the Primordial beings could reach him. Yuan Feng later died from her injuries. 520 984 1004
Kong Xuan was born alongside his younger brother, the Golden Winged Peng. Neither inherited the form of a True Phoenix, and the siblings separated while they lacked the strength to protect themselves. 520 802
Although unable to become a True Phoenix, Kong Xuan inherited the Phoenix Clan's exceptional talent. He cultivated from an acquired being to the peak Quasi-Sage realm, concealed himself for countless years through the fate-obscuring Five-Colored Divine Light, and remained unknown to most of the Primordial World until the Hongmeng Purple Gold List exposed his ownership of the Wu Tong Divine Tree. 72
The Five Virtues Qilin later proved central to Kong Xuan's rise. The Qilin's auspicious art brought Kong Xuan major opportunities, including the Wu Tong Divine Tree and mastery of the Five-Colored Divine Light. 803
Appearance
Kong Xuan can appear as an immense peacock or as a tall, striking humanoid clad in a Five-Colored Cloud Robe. His true peacock form is described as ten thousand feet tall. 72 505
- True form: A colossal peacock whose five-colored radiance illuminates heaven and earth. 72 505
- Humanoid form: Tall and slender, with an elegant yet formidable presence. 72
- Attire: A Five-Colored Cloud Robe; its protective properties helped him endure prolonged close-quarters combat with Ancestor Minghe. 72 904
- Weapon: Carries an oversized Green Dragon Crescent Blade, also called the Icy Beauty Saw. 73 76
Personality
Kong Xuan is intensely proud, direct, and unwilling to submit to intimidation. When Ancestor Minghe demanded the Wu Tong Divine Tree, Kong Xuan refused despite recognizing Minghe as a formidable opponent. His refusal to yield also defines his Blade Path: he views retreat or surrender as a threat to his Dao Heart. 72 902
Beneath this defiance, Kong Xuan is deeply protective of the Phoenix Clan. He spent countless years gathering scattered Phoenixes, sought the Vermillion Bird's essence blood to restore their True Phoenix bloodline, and intended to leave only after the clan could protect itself. 502 742 1005
He can be teasing and blunt with old acquaintances, particularly the Five Virtues Qilin and Huo Ling, but shows genuine affection toward his younger brother and respect for capable allies. 802 803 874

Blade Path

Conflict with Sage Zhunti
The Demon Clan informed Zhunti of Kong Xuan's appearance near the Human Clan, hoping to remove a powerful Human ally.

Zhunti sealed him, intending to bring him to the Western Land. 502 504 505
Suirenshi later exploited an opening created during his clash with Zhunti, escaping with Kong Xuan while Yanzi Shi held off pursuit. 519
