Three Lives Divine Lotus Source Lord Fan, Seeking the Great Thousand for the Ultimate Peak

"You possess boundless confidence in surpassing those who came before you, so why ask me about your talent? A fledgling phoenix sings more clearly than an old phoenix; each generation surpasses the last! Let me tell you: Saint Grade is not the limit. Your goal should not stop there!"

A vast, nine-colored sea of stars spilled across the sky above the sealed world. Kong Xuan, clad in luxurious palace robes, appeared alongside the Golden-Winged Great Peng and descended beneath the starlight.

She was graceful and dignified, her peerless beauty resembling that of an immortal empress or divine maiden. Between her brows lay the majesty of an unparalleled powerhouse of old.

Hearing this, Ye Kong straightened his posture and cupped his fists solemnly toward this elder who held such high expectations for him.

"When the sea reaches its end, the sky becomes its shore; when mountains reach their ultimate peak, I shall stand as the summit! Since the day I began cultivating, I have never lost to anyone. Nor do I believe that these realms can bind my path ahead!"

After saying that, Ye Kong relaxed and said with a smile, "Mainly because saying I want to become an unrivaled powerhouse sounds pretty embarrassing. Saying I have Saint Grade potential sounds more normal."

"That is more like it. Since you possess such ambition and talent, I shall naturally assist you with all my strength."

Kong Xuan took out the Nine-Colored Feather Fan and gave the howling Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor a light wave.

The downward motion of the fan was gentle, yet Ye Kong, watching from the side, felt as if an entire continent were collapsing. Its power was infinitely vast, far beyond the limits of his current understanding.

The radiant fan feathers released Nine-Colored Divine Light, evolving into Divine Fire, black lightning, hurricanes, tsunamis, and countless other cataclysmic phenomena that descended upon the Demon Emperor within the cage and this demonized world.

These heavenly disasters were far beyond anything ordinary. They seemed to have been formed from the most primordial World Will between heaven and earth, carrying an incomparably ancient and chaotic aura.

After screaming like a ghost for so long without dying, the Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor's physical body was annihilated for the sixth time the instant it came into contact with those primordial disasters. Not even another scream escaped him.

Ye Kong saw clearly that after his body was destroyed, a Demon Soul desperately shot outward, only to fail to escape the fate of being erased by heavenly lightning and earthly fire, vanishing into ashes.

At the same time, the land that had been polluted by demonic energy for tens of thousands of years was rapidly purified. The disasters, which contained endless destructive power, displayed the ability to create life, restoring the cracked earth and dim sky.

Though Ye Kong had long known that Heavenly Sovereigns possessed the literal ability to reverse heaven and earth, witnessing it in person still drew him in completely.

This was far more unfathomable than the methods of the Heavenly Sovereign Lu Shengjun had defeated several years ago!

"So, kid? Aunt Xuan's little move scare you?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng smiled, patting Ye Kong on the shoulder. "You seem to know a thing or two, so I am not worried you will fail to understand. Aunt Xuan's Source Lord Pure World Fan is a Saint Grade peerless sacred artifact with boundless renown fifty thousand years ago.

"Back then, in order to deal with Aunt Xuan, a Heavenly Demon Emperor ranked among the top fifteen in the sequence joined forces with three other Heavenly Demon Emperors. They laid layer upon layer of traps and even used the living beings of this trial ground as bait, only then forcing Aunt Xuan to the brink of death.

"Even so, Aunt Xuan slew one Heavenly Demon Emperor and heavily injured the other three. Now, she has completely erased all of them. You could say they have reunited after fifty thousand years."

Master's wife really was a peerless ruthless figure. The road ahead is long and arduous. I need to work even harder to level up and make money.

As Ye Kong considered his future path, he cupped his fists toward the man in golden robes and asked, "May I ask, Senior, what kind of powerhouse were you back then?"

"Hehe, calling me Senior is no fun. It makes me sound old for nothing. By the age standards of our Divine Beast clan, I was very young when I died."

The handsome, masculine man in golden robes, who indeed looked quite young, rubbed his nose and laughed. "Aunt Xuan and Uncle Zhi found me and raised me since childhood. You are Uncle Zhi's fifth disciple, so we are of the same generation. My name is Peng Chaoyang. Just call me Bro Peng.

"As for my cultivation back then, it was nothing much—merely Mid Immortal Grade. Now I am only a remnant soul without a physical body. Thanks to you, I can barely exert the strength of a Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign."

Damn, another big shot—and one with an incredibly deep network of connections!

Ye Kong's heart surged with excitement, and he hurriedly said, "Bro Peng, although the Golden-Winged Great Peng Tribe is gone, the Sky Peng Tribe, descendants of your clan, still exists. Their current Young Clan Leader is my little brother. If he knew I had found an ancestor like you for them, he would definitely be thrilled.

"If you think they are too shabby, you can ask that Brother Zong outside to guide you. His grandfather is the ninth elder of the Kunpeng Tribe, so he has some influence.

"Of course, if you do not mind going to the ape tribe, I can take you to meet my big brother. He is the Young Clan Leader of the Heaven-Reaching Ape Tribe. His grandfather has been desperate for allies lately; he even had me capture Beast Tribe geniuses to form Bloodline Links. If he learned that an ancient prodigy like you had arrived, he would certainly use resources to help reconstruct your body."

Peng Chaoyang's expression turned somewhat strange. He stared at Ye Kong and asked, "You are a human prodigy. How did you manage to become sworn brothers with so many Beast Tribe prodigies? As I recall, the Flying Bird Tribe has always been rather exclusionary."

"Things depend on the people involved. Everyone in the Spirit Beast World is talented and speaks pleasantly. I really love dealing with them." Ye Kong rubbed his hands together, feeling that his efforts over this period had not been wasted.

"Since you are most familiar with the ape tribe, then we will go to the ape tribe. Those fellows have always been straightforward and do not play tricks. It is much more peaceful than the Flying Bird Tribe. We can return to the Flying Bird Tribe after we recover."

After Kong Xuan finished dealing with the aftermath, she turned around and made the decision. "Give me your Demon Slaying Token."

"Sure!" Ye Kong hurriedly handed it over, so moved he nearly cried.

This was the first time a big shot had treated him so well and stood up for him. If he did not want to suddenly gain another godfather along the way, he might have wanted to follow Jinjiu Master's example and acknowledge a godmother!

After she infused a wisp of the Illusion Soul Profound Demon Emperor's Demon Soul into it, Ye Kong's "low-level Demon Slayer" instantly rose to "Senior Demon Slaying Master." He was now only five thousand Demon Slaying Points away from becoming a Demon Slaying King.

Elegantly tossing the Demon Slaying Token back to Ye Kong, Kong Xuan smiled faintly. "It is not that I am stingy or unwilling to put the other three fellows' Demon Souls in there. You put in all your effort to take down this demon, so it is fine for me to help you.

"Although you helped me capture those three, they were not ultimately slain by your hand. It would not be appropriate for me to give them to you now. The Great Thousand Palace would not recognize a Demon Slaying King who has not even reached the Supreme realm."

"Then what do you mean, Master's wife?" Ye Kong held his breath.

"At the very least, wait until you become an Earth Sovereign. By then, the Great Thousand Palace might just pinch its nose and accept it. I am quite looking forward to them having the weakest Demon Slaying King in history.

"Haha, besides, those three old monsters fought me for so long. Letting them find no peace even after death sounds quite nice."

Kong Xuan waved the Source Lord Pure World Fan. As she smiled over her mischievous scheme, she resembled a peerless demon empress, breathtakingly radiant.

Ye Kong wiped away a bead of sweat and turned away, not daring to look further at this exquisitely poised and devastatingly beautiful master's wife.

No wonder that master of his, whom he had never met, had broken his vows. He had probably been expelled from the mountain gate by the Mountain Lord under some respectable and proper pretext, just like Ye Kong.

"Do not be so surprised, Little Huan Kong. Aunt Xuan was a peerless witch back then. She pranked nearly every Beast Tribe prodigy of that generation, and even quite a few old fellows who failed to act their age were taught a lesson by her.

"I heard that when Aunt Xuan became infatuated with Uncle Zhi, even many people from the Nine-Colored Peacock Tribe breathed a sigh of relief."

Seeing that Ye Kong hardly dared to look at Kong Xuan, Peng Chaoyang, who was used to it, began telling him stories of the past.

"So Master's wife became much more restrained after getting married?" Ye Kong blinked.

"No! Quite the opposite!" Peng Chaoyang shook his head gravely, sighing in silent mourning for those people of the past. "After Aunt Xuan married, she became even more lawless. Uncle Zhi's cultivation was powerful, but unlike other human powerhouses, he did not restrain his wife at all. Instead, he obeyed Aunt Xuan in everything, following wherever she led.

"As a result... some people secretly said that Uncle Zhi had the highest cultivation among the Nine Emperors, yet was also the least respected.

"The two of them were not only ultimate Late Saint Grade powerhouses, but each commanded one of the two Super Powers, the Nine-Colored Peacock Tribe and Spiritual Mountain. No one in the world dared provoke them. Even the Immortal Great Emperor, who was vaguely revered as the foremost of the Nine Emperors, had to give them some leeway.

"'Three Lives Divine Lotus Source Lord Fan, seeking the Great Thousand for the ultimate peak!' Those words described Uncle Zhi and Aunt Xuan back then."

I get it now. White moonlight plus a life-saving debt plus a top-tier rich woman plus centuries of affection plus evenly matched strength plus peerless beauty... Master's wife had stacked her buffs to the absolute limit.

Ye Kong suddenly understood. He no longer looked down on that master of his whose Buddhist resolve was weak and whose manhood had faltered. In his previous life, even a certain Hongwu Great Emperor had nearly cried himself to death after his wife died.

Suddenly, Kong Xuan's mature, smiling voice rang out. "It seems you have finished listening to the story. Little Huan Kong, are you ready to undergo the Phoenix Blood Baptism?"

"What baptism?"

Ye Kong turned around and discovered that his master's wife had somehow produced a huge cauldron. Beneath it burned nine-colored flames, while inside, boiling water roiled furiously.

Kong Xuan looked at Ye Kong with a smile. "The Phoenix Blood Baptism. Are you ready to get into the pot?"

Ye Kong: "..." (⊙_⊙)
