Falling Phoenix Slope

He sat cross-legged atop the highest solitary peak, his mind settling into stillness as he cast aside all distracting thoughts, directly contemplating the pull that resonated so perfectly with his own Great Dao.

With a slight shift of his intent, a faint, ethereal chime rang out.

His companion treasure, the Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella, hovered above his head, shedding strands of mysterious light to protect his body.

In an instant, Yin-Yang Qi erupted from within Qing Huan, manifesting as two lively and incredibly agile Yin-Yang Dao fish that swam leisurely around him.

The profound Dao rhymes of the Great Dao Laws rippled outward like water waves, with him at the center, quietly permeating the mountains and earth for thousands of miles around.

At this moment, countless low-level creatures hidden within these mountains, and even the plant spirits that had only just gained sentience and transformed, were involuntarily drawn to this vast and pure Dao rhyme.

To them, this was no different from heaven-sent nectar, a blessing from the Great Dao!

Countless creatures held their breath, straining to capture the rhymes of the Great Dao Laws, viewing this as a monumental opportunity for rebirth.

Qing Huan's mind was completely immersed in his contemplation of the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Time flowed like sand through fingers, and in the blink of an eye, another five Huiyuan Eras passed.

His understanding of the Yin-Yang path grew increasingly profound and mysterious.

At a certain moment, inspiration struck, and the opportunity was ripe!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and two tangible beams of Yin-Yang divine light pierced through the void.

The Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella above his head trembled slightly, retracting its precious light and turning into a streak of light that submerged into his brow.

As his fortune and the alignment of his energy reached their peak, a sudden change occurred somewhere in the mountains below!

On the mountainside of an otherwise ordinary peak, the void rippled violently like water. Layer upon layer of complex and mysterious innate patterns suddenly lit up, outlining a massive restrictive light curtain that covered an area of millions of miles!

On the light curtain, innate Yin-Yang Qi and Five Elements Qi flowed ceaselessly, deriving, transforming, annihilating, and regenerating each other, forming a naturally occurring and unfathomably powerful Yin-Yang Five Elements Grand Formation!

"So that's it! What a magnificent Yin-Yang Five Elements Grand Formation! No wonder I always felt a sense of destiny pulling me here!"

A flash of joy crossed Qing Huan's eyes. With a slight sway of his body, he appeared before the light curtain on the mountainside as if teleporting.

The rich, pure aura of innate laws, perfectly aligned with his own path, rushed toward him, invigorating his spirit.

"Let me see what kind of Innate Spiritual Treasure or spiritual root is gestating within this formation."

Before his voice had even faded, Qing Huan had already begun to decipher the formation before him.

Although this formation was incredibly profound, it was not without clues.

Its core lay in the rotation of Yin-Yang and the mutual generation and support of the Five Elements, which happened to be his greatest strengths.

For Qing Huan, such a formation was not difficult to break.

After all, his primary cultivation was the Yin-Yang Great Dao, supplemented by earth, fire, wind, water, and lightning.

The Four Symbols evolve into the Five Elements, so the Five Elements Laws were a trivial matter for Qing Huan.

As for laws like space and destruction, Qing Huan had not delved into them much, as they were all incomplete laws.

Although it is said that one should comprehend the three thousand Great Daos, how many can truly do so?

Even the former Chaos Demon Gods needed to spend immeasurable epochs to attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin; how could the creatures of the Primordial world achieve this in a short time?

Even Great Immortal Yang Mei would not have known how long it would take to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin without his prior experience as a Chaos Demon God.

Perhaps he wouldn't have found the path even by the Primordial Magic Era.

And Great God Pangu was at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin; his Heaven-Opening was an attempt to attain the Great Dao Realm.

In the end, it is unknown if he succeeded, but his body transformed into all things, which is how the current Primordial world came to be.

Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

Within Qing Huan's primordial spirit, the complex formation patterns and restrictions were analyzed and stripped away layer by layer.

Finally, a smile of realization touched his lips. He took a step forward and passed through the seemingly impenetrable innate light curtain without any obstruction.

The scene inside the formation opened up!

Spiritual energy was so dense it turned into five-colored auspicious clouds lingering in the air; a single breath felt like an advancement in cultivation.

Innate Yin-Yang Qi and Five Elements essence intertwined here into brilliant Law Divine Chains, nourishing everything within the formation.

Spiritual herbs and fairy mushrooms covered the ground; though mostly postnatal, they were vibrant with spiritual energy due to the superior environment.

However, the most eye-catching sight was the Innate Spirit Pool in the center of the formation, formed by the convergence of chaotic spiritual liquid!

In the center of the pool, two giant eggs floated silently, like the eyes of a Yin-Yang fish.

One was covered in red, cyan, yellow, blue, and black light, with massive innate Five Elements Qi condensed into physical runes circling the shell;

The other was wrapped in pure, intertwined, yet distinct innate Yin-Yang Qi, forming a black and white Taiji Diagram that rotated slowly.

The innate Yin-Yang Five Elements Law power of the entire formation was continuously nourishing these two giant eggs, and the aura of their core origin was emanating powerfully from within!

"Hmm?"

Qing Huan's gaze sharpened, and he understood in an instant.

"Could this be... the sons of Yuan Feng, the leader of the Phoenix Clan—Kong Xuan and the Great Peng?"

At the end of the Tribulation of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, Yuan Feng was severely injured and on her way back to the Volcano of Immortality when she encountered the innate Five Elements Qi and innate Yin-Yang Qi, which entered her body, causing her to lay these two eggs halfway through her journey!

This place shall be known to future generations as Falling Phoenix Slope!

The Phoenix Clan, in order to atone for their monstrous Karma, saw the sliver of Yuan Feng's true spirit transform into the Dark Bird to protect the Yin Shang for eight hundred years, while the eldest son, Kong Xuan, sat guard at the Three Mountains Pass of the Yin Shang for eight centuries for the sake of the Phoenix Tribe's destiny...

"Tsk, tsk!"

Qing Huan's thoughts were clear, and he did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Since you have encountered me here, it is a fate ordained by Heaven!"

Qing Huan was no pedantic fool; having already transmigrated to the Primordial World, would he really let someone lecture him on Karma? That would be sheer insanity.

If he had feared Karma, he should have committed suicide the moment he arrived in this world.

The two giant eggs before him had yet to hatch, meaning they were untainted by the Phoenix Clan's Karma and possessed extraordinary potential.

If he took in the brothers Kong Xuan and Great Peng, he would have the destiny of the Phoenix Clan bestowed upon him.

Furthermore, to do so without being burdened by Karma... wasn't that a highly profitable deal?

"Since you share a bond with me, today I, Qing Huan, shall take you both as my personal disciples!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than a voice, tinged with wariness, emanated from the giant egg swirling with Five-Colored Divine Light:

"Who might you be, senior? To take us brothers as disciples, do you not know that we carry the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan? Even if we have yet to hatch and remain untainted by Karma, the causal ties are immense. Are you not afraid of being entangled by boundless karmic obstacles?"

"Haha!"

Qing Huan chuckled.

"Since I have spoken, I am naturally not afraid! What is mere Karma to me? Your path is similar and mutually reinforcing with the origin of my own Dao. With me as your master to preach and resolve your doubts, I can not only help you take human form sooner but also guide you to reach the origin of the Great Dao!"

He was determined to take these two brothers in today; if he nurtured them well, the future Great Peng would at the very least become a Quasi-Saint.

A brief silence followed.

The consciousnesses within the two giant eggs seemed to be engaged in an intense exchange.
