Yin-Yang Power, a Xiantian Formation with an Owner?

Primordial World.

Mount Buzhou.

Outside the cave, the seasons turned and the stars shifted.

Within the cave, Kong Xuan sat like an eternal boulder, immersed in selfless cultivation.

Time was not counted in the Primordial World. To Daluo Golden Immortals with vast lifespans, even thousands or tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

The long years slipped by like a white colt passing through a crack.

On this day, a tyrannically powerful surge of Qi and Blood Power suddenly erupted from the depths of the cave dwelling, which had been silent for many years!

"Roar—!"

A deep, forceful roar emerged from Kong Xuan's throat. It was not a soundwave, but the result of pure physical power shaking the void!

His tightly shut eyes flew open, divine light flashing within them like lightning and piercing the cave's gloom.

A faint dark-golden radiance flowed around his body. Beneath his skin, it seemed as though dormant divine dragons lay coiled, brimming with explosive strength.

With every movement, space itself warped slightly, producing delicate ripples.

A heavy, unyielding, immortal aura naturally spread from him, as though he himself were a miniature Mount Buzhou!

"The seventh turn is complete!"

Kong Xuan slowly rose to his feet, sensing the immense power surging through him, nearly bursting from his body.

At this moment, relying on physical strength alone, he was already capable of directly contending with ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals!

The seventh layer of the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique corresponded to a Daluo Golden Immortal-level body!

He lightly clenched his fist, crushing the air in his palm with a muffled thunderclap.

This power was countless times stronger and more condensed than when he had first taken form as an early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal reliant on mana and divine abilities!

"Mount Buzhou truly lives up to its name as the pillar of the Primordial World and the source of all paths!"

"The fortune and pressure of this place have spared me the bitter effort of countless yuanhui."

Kong Xuan was delighted, but his gaze soon turned profound.

"Now that my physical body has taken initial form, my foundation is secure."

"Mount Buzhou was formed from Pangu's spine, the first divine mountain created when heaven and earth were opened. The Xiantian Spiritual Treasures, Spiritual Roots, and even Great Dao opportunities nurtured within must be earth-shattering."

"Since I have come here, how can I return empty-handed?"

Kong Xuan's fame would spread through later generations during the Investiture of the Gods, but that was long after the Dragon-Han Cataclysm and the Wu and Yao tribulation.

Now, the Primordial World stood at the delicate juncture where the Dragon-Han Tribulation had just ended and the Wu and Yao were beginning to rise. The residual Xiantian aura between heaven and earth still remained, and many heaven-defying treasures from the dawn of creation had yet to gain owners.

He was the Direct Descendant of Yuanfeng and possessed the Heaven-Defying Comprehension System.

Furthermore, both his primordial spirit and physical body had reached the Daluo Realm, and he wielded a supreme divine ability like the Seven-Colored Divine Light. How could his fortune and opportunities possibly be inferior to anyone else's?

"My opportunity should lie within this mountain!"

A sharp gleam flickered in Kong Xuan's eyes as his divine sense spread like a tide toward the depths of Mount Buzhou.

He stepped out of the cave dwelling. Seven-colored divine light shielded his body as he ignored Pangu's still-formidable pressure, transforming into a streak of light and flying deeper into Mount Buzhou.

The long years passed in a blink.

Kong Xuan had expected abundant gains from exploring Mount Buzhou, but his harvest turned out to be pitifully small.

He occasionally came across a few immortal flowers and strange fruits containing pure spiritual qi, or several unusual ores containing faint Dao principles. To ordinary cultivators, these were already priceless treasures.

But to Kong Xuan, they were little more than tasteless scraps.

Gradually, a trace of anxiety rose in Kong Xuan's heart.

"How strange!"

"I am the Direct Descendant of Yuanfeng, the first peacock in heaven and earth, born bearing the Primordial Five-Element Origin. My fortune should not be poor."

"Yet on Mount Buzhou, I have not found a single Xiantian Spiritual Treasure?!"

"Never mind. I'll keep looking. I am bound to find something."

With that, Kong Xuan transformed into a streak of light once more and wandered Mount Buzhou.

And so, an unknown amount of time passed.

On this day, Kong Xuan was passing over a strange valley shrouded in chaotic currents.

Jagged rocks filled the valley, and not a blade of grass grew there. Only Xiantian Spiritual Qi so dense it had reached the extreme intertwined with a mixed, chaotic aura.

Just as he was about to pass over it, his divine sense swept across an inconspicuous stone wall deep at the valley floor—and suddenly halted!

A concealed yet exceptionally pure and ancient fluctuation faintly emanated from behind that stone wall.

That fluctuation... contained a supreme and noble Xiantian Dao rhythm. Yin and yang circulated without end, generating and restraining one another, yet existing as a perfect whole!

It was not the aura of a living being. It was more like the natural rhythm emitted in slumber by a Xiantian spiritual object nurtured at the dawn of creation and containing the origin of the Yin-Yang Great Dao!

"Yin-Yang Power? A Xiantian Spiritual Treasure?!"

Kong Xuan's pupils abruptly contracted, and the desire he had suppressed for so long was instantly ignited!

Kong Xuan hesitated almost not at all. The seven-colored rainbow suddenly turned back, plunging straight to the valley floor and stopping before the seemingly ordinary stone wall.

The stone wall was smooth as a mirror. The natural patterns upon it faintly formed a mysterious, complex design, perfectly merging with the surrounding mountain, earth veins, and even the chaotic currents drifting through the void.

Had his divine sense not been so sharp, and had he not possessed the Yin-Yang Origin, he would have found it almost impossible to notice anything unusual.

This was clearly a naturally formed Xiantian Formation!

Its intricacy was far beyond anything postnatal cultivators could arrange. It had been born of heaven and earth's creation itself, meant to protect the treasure nurtured within.

"A Xiantian grand formation. There must be a great treasure inside!"

Kong Xuan was certain of it, divine light bursting from his eyes.

After years of searching, he had finally seen a glimmer of hope. His excitement nearly burst from his chest.

With an opportunity before him, how could he let it slip away?

Kong Xuan had always acted decisively!

"Open for me!"

His clear shout rang through the valley!

Kong Xuan no longer held back in the slightest. The vast mana of an early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal erupted with a roar!

He fiercely spread his wings, and the seven tail feathers behind him that represented his origins suddenly shone brilliantly!

Azure, crimson, yellow, white, black, yin, and yang!

Seven divine lights as thick as heavenly pillars and condensed to the utmost soared from his tail feathers. They were not defensive in nature, but carried an invincible, all-brushing murderous intent!

The Seven-Colored Divine Light intertwined into a world-destroying torrent. Like a divine spear that had opened heaven and earth, it savagely struck the stone wall bearing the Xiantian Formation!

Rumble—!!!

The entire chaotic valley shook violently!

Violent shockwaves of energy swept in every direction, instantly clearing away even the chaotic currents raging within the valley!

The seemingly indestructible stone wall erupted with blinding black-and-white radiance under the washing of the Seven-Colored Divine Light.

Countless yin-yang runes flickered wildly, brightening and dimming. The entire Xiantian Formation swayed violently like a small boat amid raging winds and waves, groaning under the unbearable strain as spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across its light barrier!

A fierce glint flashed through Kong Xuan's eyes as he poured his mana into the attack without reservation, further amplifying the Seven-Colored Divine Light!

He intended to break this tottering formation completely in one push and seize the Xiantian Spiritual Treasure containing the Yin-Yang Origin!

At the critical instant when the formation's light barrier was about to shatter completely!

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?!"

A cold voice carrying suppressed anger and supreme majesty suddenly rang out from the core of the nearly shattered formation, like a frigid spring from the Ninth Heaven!

The voice was not loud, yet it imprinted itself clearly upon Kong Xuan's sea of consciousness.

Kong Xuan's mind shook fiercely!

This voice... could not possibly have come from an ownerless spiritual treasure! This place... was actually someone else's Daoist sanctuary?!

In that flash of lightning, countless thoughts raced through Kong Xuan's mind.
