[World-Suppressing Sword Formation, Essence of Wood]

The power of yin and yang was endless, but the might of the sea of thunder was even more vast. Especially the "Purple Firmament Divine Thunder" unleashed by the Purple Lightning Hammer, which contained a trace of the Heavenly Dao's might.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng's face was extremely grim. He had originally believed that with his unparalleled speed and the "Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle" refined from the innate yin and yang energies that accompanied him, he would be invincible in the Taiyi Realm. However, he never expected that there would be someone like Xuan Qing in this world who, at the same cultivation level, was not inferior to him in either magic treasures or speed.

"Rumble!"

Perhaps the Golden-Winged Great Peng's refining technique was too crude. The perfectly good yin and yang energies, comparable to a top-grade Spiritual Treasure, were refined by him into merely a high-grade Spiritual Treasure.

At this moment, with the emergence of the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, it immediately exceeded the absorption limit of the "Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle," and the yin-yang black hole it evolved instantly vanished into smoke.

"What a waste of heavenly resources!"

Seeing this, Xuan Qing couldn't help but shake his head. Comparing people is disheartening, and comparing goods is even more so. The Golden-Winged Great Peng was not even half as good as his elder brother, Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light was said to be able to brush away anything, and even a Saint of the Heavenly Dao could only withstand a couple of blows.

Yet, the Golden-Winged Great Peng had actually refined the innate yin and yang energies that accompanied him into a Spiritual Treasure, and his technique was subpar, only managing to create a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Although he really didn't want to get involved in karma, since the Golden-Winged Great Peng had actively sought trouble, he would not show any fear. No matter how great the deterrence of the Phoenix Clan Crown Prince was, in front of the Intercepting Sect, and in front of Sect Master Tongtian, it was still not enough.

"Sword Light Differentiation!"

Xuan Qing channeled the power of thunder into the magic sword in his hand, and in an instant, twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty peerless sword lights appeared in the void.

These sword lights, imbued with the power of thunder, perfectly matched the number of one Yuan Hui. Arranged in a peculiar manner, they instantly formed a magnificent and vast thunder sword formation.

"Supreme Clarity World-Suppressing Sword Formation!"

The sword lights interlocked, forming an impenetrable barrier, like a heavenly river pouring down, like sword qi dragons, stirring up the universe. They instantly transformed into a torrent that pierced through the Golden-Winged Great Peng's body.

"No!"

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was filled with regret. He possessed the world's fastest speed, traveling ninety thousand li with a single flap of his wings, believing no one in the Taiyi Realm could capture him.

He never expected that Xuan Qing's speed was not inferior to his at all. Furthermore, due to a moment of carelessness, he was paralyzed by the lightning and then trapped within the sword formation.

"If you dare to attack this Daoist, you must be prepared to lose your life!" Xuan Qing sneered, immediately activating his divine powers, annihilating both the Golden-Winged Great Peng's physical body and Primordial Spirit. He then circulated the Supreme Clarity immortal light, drawing the "Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle" and the golden halberd in the opponent's hand towards him. "As expected, seeking opportunities is not as fast as snatching them!"

Murderers amass fortunes, while those who build bridges and repair roads are often left unburied. Many people accumulate good deeds, but without the means to protect themselves, the treasures they obtain often fall into the hands of others.

This was even more true in the Great Desolation, a world where the strong prey on the weak. No one knew where a cultivator who wanted to take your life might suddenly appear.

Xuan Qing had spent hundreds of years in the East Sea, believing he had rarely provoked trouble. Now, after just a trip to the East Sea Dragon Palace, he had been targeted by the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

If he hadn't had some means, perhaps all his magic treasures would have benefited the other party.

"The best strategy is to retreat!"

After killing the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Xuan Qing did not linger at the scene. After using the "Innate Eight Trigrams" to disrupt the heavenly secrets, he directly fled for millions of li.

After all, the other party was the Phoenix Clan Crown Prince and had a background. Although he, as a disciple of a Saint, was not inferior in any way, he was afraid that someone might not take Saints seriously.

If he were bullied by someone stronger, Xuan Qing would have no recourse. He couldn't possibly expect Sect Master Tongtian to destroy the Phoenix Clan to avenge him after his death!

In fact, there were quite a few witnesses to his battle with the Golden-Winged Great Peng in the East Sea. With billions of living beings in the sea, Xuan Qing couldn't possibly kill them all.

He had accumulated a lot of merit, but he didn't want to add to his karma because of it.

As long as the other party didn't resort to bullying him with superior strength, Xuan Qing would not be afraid even if they came looking for him.

Before taking action, ask Sect Master Tongtian's Four Immortal Slaying Swords!

Moreover, the Golden-Winged Great Peng had initiated the attack this time, so the Phoenix Clan was in the wrong.

What was there to fear?

After confirming that there were no pursuers, Xuan Qing immediately found a small island, casually opened up a temporary cave dwelling, and began to examine the spoils from killing the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

That golden halberd was merely a high-grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, but it contained a trace of the True Essence of Li Fire, possessing considerable power. It had been wasted in the hands of the Golden-Winged Great Peng!

As for the "Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle," it made Xuan Qing grit his teeth in annoyance. The precious innate yin and yang energies now, which should have had infinite potential, had been wasted by the Golden-Winged Great Peng into such a thing.

"I wonder if it's possible to return it to its origin and restore it to its original state as innate yin and yang energies?"

Xuan Qing sighed.

He himself was certainly incapable of doing so. He could only wait until he returned to Kunlun Mountain and see if Sect Master Tongtian, as a Saint, possessed the ability to turn decay into magic.

If even a Saint couldn't do it, then perhaps only the legendary Qiankun Cauldron possessed such an ability!

After simply imprinting his mark on the two Spiritual Treasures, Xuan Qing then examined the Essence of Wood that Lord Mengzhang had gifted him in the Land of the Eastern Extremity.

The Azure Dragon belonged to wood and resided in the east, constantly emitting innate wood qi. The Essence of Wood, on the other hand, required the consumption of tens of thousands of wood qi to condense.

Its preciousness was self-evident!

Most importantly, the Essence of Wood contained a trace of the true meaning of creation, an unending vitality. Perhaps it could allow his "Creation Yuan Gong" to achieve a breakthrough.

This cultivation technique was imparted by Nuwa and was also the foundation for his melting of all methods. With this technique reaching a higher level, his Forge of Creation and Refining Dao would also become stronger.

It was a pity that Sect Master Tongtian, who established his Dao through the sword, did not have profound attainments in the Dao of Creation. Xuan Qing did not gain much after seeking his advice.

He could only explore it himself!

"Refine!"

With a thought, Xuan Qing directly guided the Essence of Wood into his dantian and then circulated the "Creation Yuan Gong" in an attempt to completely refine it.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. With the Innate Eight Trigrams and the "Golden Cloud Crown" obscuring the heavenly secrets and karma, he was not worried about the Phoenix Clan coming to trouble him.

Before leaving the mountain, he specifically consulted Sect Master Tongtian. The two combined, along with the chaotic heavenly secrets during the tribulation, made it difficult even for a Saint to deduce his whereabouts.

This was his confidence!

With the help of the Essence of Wood, his "Forge of Creation" had become even more powerful. With every movement, wisps of Creation Yuan Qi would surround him.

Xuan Qing stepped out of his cave dwelling and walked on the earth. He did not restrain the Creation Yuan Qi emanating from him. Wherever he passed, plants immediately experienced vigorous growth.

"Not bad!"

Xuan Qing evaluated himself, then he summoned his sword light and instantly appeared thousands of miles away.

The opportunity in the East Sea was likely not meant for him. He also knew he couldn't force it. With a slight shift of his thoughts, he decided to return to the Human Race tribe first.

Currently, Saint Nuwa's decree to protect the Human Race for one epoch was still in effect. Coupled with the fact that Grand Pure One Laozi established the Ren Sect and passed down the Golden Core Great Dao, many powerful beings, despite their curiosity, dared not openly research the Human Race.

The Human Race's current life was actually quite alright, so Xuan Qing did not return.

Furthermore, although the current Human Race practiced Spiritual Power and spells, there were still many who lived like savages, eating raw meat. A subtle barrier always existed between him and the Human Race of this era.

This was also something he was unwilling to face and found somewhat difficult to accept.
