Kunpeng sighed and said, "I waited outside the Purple Heaven Palace for three thousand years, originally wanting to see what level Old Ancestor Hongyun would reach after listening to the teachings. It was also because I calculated that there was a destiny of mine within the Purple Heaven Palace, which later materialized between Mystic Turtle friend and me. With Mystic Turtle friend bestowing a Dao principle of an immortal island, I was able to find this place."
"That's all in the past!"
"Who would have thought that in the three thousand years since I left North溟, the Ancestral Witches have been constantly invading the Primordial World's Demon Race. The two great Ancestral Witches, Gonggong and Zhujiuyin, along with their powerful subordinates Xiangliu and Fuyou, occupied my Old Ancestor's Palace."
"Gonggong and Zhujiuyin inherited Great God Pangu's ferocious bloodline; their physical bodies are immortal and indestructible. Although they lack primordial spirits, their combat power is terrifyingly immense. Especially since the Ancestral Witches are skilled at devouring members of the Demon Race to enhance their combat power, half of the Demon Race in my Old Ancestor's Palace were devoured, leaving the palace in a state of utter devastation!"
"But how could I, Old Ancestor Kunpeng, be easily provoked? After returning from the Purple Heaven Palace, I gathered my scattered generals and fought to the death with those two great Ancestral Witches. This battle lasted for a thousand years!"
"Over these thousand years, I, Kunpeng, devised countless strategies and finally forced the enemy to retreat. My Old Ancestor's Palace in the Northern Sea was also sunk to the deepest part of the Northern Sea, beyond the reach of even Gonggong and Zhujiuyin!"
"The Ancestral Witches are truly powerful. They have been locked in a struggle with me, Kunpeng, for these thousand years. Unable to reach my Old Ancestor's Palace territory, they waited outside North溟. If I emerged, they would join forces to launch a powerful assault, vowing to put me to death!"
"Heh heh!" At this point, Old Ancestor Kunpeng let out a hearty cold laugh. "Unfortunately, I, Kunpeng, was still the more cunning one. How could Gonggong and Zhujiuyin stop me? I managed to escape them, and that's how I came to Three Immortal Islands!"
Kunpeng's words revealed a crucial piece of information to Beichen: the Twelve Ancestral Witches had begun to forcefully deal with renowned great demons of the Primordial World, signifying that their conquest of the Primordial World had entered a critical phase!
Kunpeng was undoubtedly a famous and powerful demon in the Primordial World. Since the Ancestral Witches were so entangled with him, it meant that the Witch-Demon War was no longer in its early stages but had entered its middle phase.
It was imperative for the Demon Race to select a leader and unite all the myriad races!
Beichen merely understood this information and didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, even without his existence, the Demon Race would still follow the general trend of the Primordial World, select a Demon Emperor, achieve great unity, and embark on a tremendously brutal Witch-Demon War!
What he wanted to do was to save those beings in this great war who, in his opinion, should not perish!
According to the historical records of the Primordial World, too many powerful figures perished in the Witch-Demon War, including Dijun and Taiyi themselves.
And now, as their master, he, Beichen, was determined to find a way to change such a fate!
As for the other cultivators of the Primordial World who were connected to him, they would also become objects of his salvation!
And these cultivators would naturally become the "blood" of his faction.
All of this would depend on the actual situation and would be carried out gradually.
Currently, Beichen couldn't see through everything clearly, nor could he fully know who he had "destiny" with.
"May I ask Old Ancestor Kunpeng, how did you escape the blockade of the Ancestral Witches Gonggong and Zhujiuyin and their powerful subordinates?" Beichen was curious. "Although those two Ancestral Witches lack primordial spirits and cannot cultivate their Dao, their strength would certainly not be inferior to a peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal, right?"
During the great calamity of the Primordial World's Witch-Demon War, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, each of them was only slightly weaker than the Sanqing. If they joined forces, even the Sanqing would be utterly defeated and could only flee!
Kunpeng, who was currently at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, had actually escaped the blockade of two great Ancestral Witches; this was truly terrifying!
"Heh heh, since we are here, I, Kunpeng, will not hide anything from you, fellow Daoist!" Old Ancestor Kunpeng said proudly. "When Kunpeng transformed into a Divine Bird, not only did my origins undergo a fundamental change, but I also obtained nine fundamental feathers. My fundamental feathers flashed, emitting a Nine-Colored Divine Light. Wherever the divine light covered, nothing could be brushed away, nor could anything attack and enter."
"Unless it's a true Saint, a being as powerful as Dao Ancestor Hongjun, otherwise, I, Kunpeng, fear no one!"
"It's because of fellow Daoist Kunpeng's origins, no wonder!"
Beichen marveled, his mind recalling the description of Kunpeng: "In the North溟 there is a fish, its name is Kun, the Kun is so large, I know not how many thousand li it is. It transforms into a bird, its name is Peng, the Peng's back is also so large, I know not how many thousand li it is. When it rages, it flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky..."
Kunpeng was born from a fish and evolved into a Peng by relying on the luck of the Primordial World. He was a rare variant in the Primordial World whose origins could evolve.
His origins were already powerful, and after that evolution, he became one of the supreme beings in the Primordial World, capable of suppressing all heroes!
It was also because Kun evolved into Peng that he comprehended countless heavenly secrets, making Kunpeng extremely cunning and wise, beyond the grasp of many great powers in the Primordial World!
This was also why, when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he took Dijun's River Map and Luo Book, becoming the primary beneficiary of the Witch-Demon Calamity.
It was also because of his machinations, instigating the Ancestral Witches Gonggong and Zhurong, that Gonggong shattered Buzhou Mountain, creating a massive black hole in the heavens and earth, causing countless Witches and Demons to perish. This led to the end of the Witch-Demon Calamity, and the Witches and Demons withdrew from the stage of the Primordial World.
And Kunpeng, due to his profound cunning and astonishing wisdom, became one of the very few great powers to survive this Witch-Demon Calamity.
In the future, he would remain in hiding, not emerging until the Saints returned to the Great Yu, and he withdrew from the Primordial World. He remained in hiding, living peacefully.
All these events were enough to illustrate how profound and terrifying Kunpeng was!
Beichen knew all this, serving as a reminder: he must be careful of Kunpeng and not be tricked by him!
Kunpeng continued, "Alas, fellow Daoist Mystic Turtle, please don't mention origins anymore. No matter how strong one's origins are, if one's strength is insufficient, they will be strangled in the cradle!"
"My Nine-Colored Divine Light can only be used for defense. Because my realm is insufficient, I cannot unleash very powerful attacks. In terms of combat power, I, Kunpeng, am truly too weak."
"Heh heh, late stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal... indeed, too weak!"
Beichen gave a wry smile, with a hint of sarcasm and mockery.
The late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal was considered a very powerful existence for countless Grand Unity powerhouses!
But compared to the absolute top powers in this Primordial World, it was a relatively inferior realm, neither here nor there!
Beichen smiled faintly, took out the Divine Turtle Shell, and handed it to Kunpeng: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, there's no need to worry! My Divine Turtle Shell contains Dao Ancestor Hongjun's three thousand years of Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao. Listen to it, and you will surely reach the peak of Grand Unity!"
"Ah! Thank you, fellow Daoist Mystic Turtle! Fellow Daoist Mystic Turtle's great kindness is something I, Kunpeng, can never repay!"
Kunpeng stopped talking nonsense and immediately began listening to the Great Dao.
He repeatedly skipped through the content of the Great Dao, starting from the late stage of Grand Unity.
If the accelerated listening to the Dao by Six-Eared Macaque could quickly digest the content of the Dao, which was defying the heavens, then Kunpeng's act of repeatedly skipping was even more heaven-defying!
"Alas, this Old Ancestor Hongjun's Dao is nothing special, too basic. I need to listen from the later parts directly!"
Kunpeng sighed with boredom as he skipped.
Only when he reached the stage of peak Grand Unity did he focus, nodding slightly, and digesting all the Dao principles.
It only took Kunpeng a hundred years to soar to the heavens and reach Grand Unity perfection.
After another hundred years of digesting Hongjun's Great Dao, refining and innovating, he suddenly stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm!
"Kunpeng is truly terrifying. With such a powerful foundation, he'll never worry about his cultivation! It's now twelve hundred years after Hongjun's first sermon. I'm afraid Hong Yun has only just entered the Quasi-Saint realm. He definitely won't be stronger than Kunpeng!"
Beichen couldn't help but sigh.
Just then, on Yingzhou Island, brilliant light erupted, shaking the Three Islands and overshadowing the commotion of Kunpeng's breakthrough to Quasi-Saint!
Kunpeng and Beichen's gazes were involuntarily drawn to the spectacle
