Inside the residence.

Kong Xuan, Nuwa, and Fuxi sat cross-legged atop meditation cushions, the atmosphere harmonious.

Kong Xuan spoke first, candidly stating that he was not someone who understood the overall situation of the Primordial World, and that he had only recently taken form and entered the world.

Moved by the majestic presence of Great God Pangu at Mount Buzhou, he had come to pay his respects, hoping to find his own fortune in this place where opportunities gathered.

At those words, a trace of disappointment flashed through Nuwa and Fuxi's eyes.

They had originally hoped that Kong Xuan, a great divine power cultivator who seemed to have traveled the Primordial World, could bring them reliable news from the outside.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan continued, "Though I do not know the specific state of the Primordial World, along the way, I saw very few who occupied mountains, ruled a region, and possessed Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation."

"I presume the War of the Three Clans that swept across heaven and earth has completely ended."

The moment those words were spoken, the disappointment in Nuwa and Fuxi's eyes was instantly replaced by immense joy!

The calamity had finally passed, and the gloom that had shrouded the siblings' hearts for countless years had finally dispersed.

This meant they could finally leave their dojo deep within Mount Buzhou without worry and travel the lands of the Primordial World.

The two immediately spoke, sincerely thanking Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan merely shook his head slightly and explained in an even tone, "This is karma. I previously attacked the formation of you two fellow Daoists by mistake; that was the cause."

"Today, answering your questions and dispelling the doubts in your hearts is the effect."

"Cause and effect balance each other. It is only natural."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa and Fuxi both understood and nodded in unison. "Good."

The Dao followed nature, and karma cycled endlessly. Such was the supreme principle of the Primordial World.

Afterward, the three casually discussed the sights and matters of the Primordial World.

Fuxi's gaze fell upon Kong Xuan. Though he only displayed the realm of an Early Daluo Golden Immortal, his aura was deep and steady, divine light contained within. The faint pressure emanating from him was far beyond that of an ordinary Early Daluo cultivator.

Fuxi's heart stirred, and he suggested, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, I see that your foundation is profound and your Dao arts are extraordinary."

"How about the three of us discuss the Dao here, verify one another's insights, and perhaps gain something from it?"

Fuxi's discernment was extremely sharp.

Kong Xuan cultivated the Five Elements Chaos Return Origin Scripture with his primordial spirit.

He cultivated the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique with his physical body.

With both his primordial spirit and body cultivated together, the solidity of his foundation, the depth of his mana, and the strength of his combat power far surpassed cultivators of the same realm who cultivated only their primordial spirits.

"Discuss the Dao?" Kong Xuan felt slightly puzzled.

After pondering for a moment, he recalled the Heaven-Defying Comprehension System bound to him.

He immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to trigger an insight.

He readily agreed at once. "Good!"

Nuwa and Fuxi also happily replied, "Good!"

Then Kong Xuan began to expound upon his fundamental Great Dao—the way of the Five Elements' cycle and the mutual aid of yin and yang.

As his words flowed forth, the sound of the Great Dao echoed through the residence. Behind him, the Seven-Colored Divine Light faintly circulated, evolving mysterious scenes of the Five Elements' generation and restraint, and the transformations of yin and yang, accompanied by the resonant sound of the Great Dao.

Then Nuwa calmed her mind and began to expound upon her Way of Creation.

Her voice was like the sound of a clear spring. Vitality brimmed between her words, as though the sprouting of all things and the growth of spirituality unfolded before their eyes, containing the supreme mysteries of creating life and enlightening myriad beings.

Fuxi continued by expounding upon the Way of Deduction and Evolution in which he was proficient.

His fingers moved slightly, as though plucking at the warp and weft of heaven and earth. His words revealed the paths of all things, the connections of karma, and the variables of the future, displaying the complex changes of heavenly secrets through clear Dao patterns, filled with the rhythm of wise deduction.

For a time, three utterly different yet faintly interconnected true meanings of the Great Dao lingered and intertwined within the residence.

Dao resonance filled the air. Heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses surged from the earth, as though the small residence had become a miniature world where the Great Dao evolved.

Just as this incomparably mysterious atmosphere of Dao discussion reached its peak, the dormant Heaven-Defying Comprehension System within Kong Xuan's sea of consciousness was suddenly triggered!

[Ding!] [The host has listened to Nuwa expound upon the Way of Creation, touched upon the supreme mysteries of creating life and enlightening all things, and entered a state of deep immersion, triggering Heaven-Defying Insight...] [Analyzing Creation Dao marks... integrating the host's Five Elements origin and the principles of yin-yang circulation... deducing a creation divine power...] [Deduction successful!] [Congratulations to the host for comprehending the supreme creation divine power—Mediating Creation!]

A mysterious insight concerning creation, granting life, and enlightening all things instantly flooded Kong Xuan's heart.

It was the foremost of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Great Divine Powers: Mediating Creation, an unrivaled divine power capable of creation itself.

[Ding!] [The host has listened to Fuxi expound upon the origin of the Way of Deduction and Evolution, touched upon the core of heavenly secrets' operation, the paths of all things, and karmic connections, triggering Heaven-Defying Insight...] [Analyzing deduction Dao marks... integrating fragments of the host's information from his past life and the Heaven-Defying Comprehension System's computational power... deducing a supreme method of deduction...] [Deduction successful!] [Congratulations to the host for comprehending the supreme deduction secret art—Innate Eight Trigrams!]

In an instant, an enigmatic scroll composed of the eight trigrams Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui unfolded deep within Kong Xuan's primordial spirit, encompassing all phenomena and explaining the principles behind the transformations of all things.

This Innate Eight Trigrams contained supreme powers of deduction, allowing one to perceive heavenly secrets and deduce the past, present, and future paths of all things in the world!

The long years seemed to stretch infinitely before passing in the blink of an eye amid the profound exchange of the Great Dao.

The Dao discussion between Kong Xuan, Nuwa, and Fuxi gradually came to an end amid a sense of perfect Dao resonance.

Both Nuwa and Fuxi wore expressions of joyful harvest and astonishment.

Nuwa spoke first, sincerely praising him. "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan's Dao of the Five Elements and yin-yang mutually generates and supports itself. The depth of your foundation and the subtlety of its workings are truly rare. We have benefited greatly."

Fuxi also nodded in agreement. "Fellow Daoist possesses vast divine powers and profound Dao arts. Through this Dao discussion, my younger sister and I have gained much."

Hearing this, Kong Xuan replied, "You two fellow Daoists flatter me."

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa's Way of Creation is unfathomably mysterious and contains the immense power of creation, while Fellow Daoist Fuxi's way of deduction exhaustively probes heavenly secrets and perceives the changes of all things."

"Kong Xuan has also had his eyes opened and gained greatly."

After this round of sincere mutual praise, the atmosphere grew even more harmonious.

Suddenly, Kong Xuan recalled their previous plans and asked, "You two fellow Daoists previously mentioned wishing to travel the Primordial World. Do you intend to set out now?"

Nuwa and Fuxi exchanged a glance and readily answered, "Indeed. That is precisely our intention."

After considering it, Kong Xuan had already wanted to venture into the Primordial World and see whether he could find other opportunities.

It seemed that none of Mount Buzhou's opportunities belonged to him.

Even so, Kong Xuan refused to believe that there were no opportunities meant for him in the vast lands of the Primordial World.

He then said, "I have only recently entered the Primordial World and also wish to travel about and broaden my horizons."

"I wonder whether you two fellow Daoists would mind if I traveled with you, so that we may look after one another."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa and Fuxi fell into thought.

During the Dao discussion just now, the siblings had already keenly sensed Kong Xuan's true strength as an Early Daluo Golden Immortal.

He cultivated both his primordial spirit and physical body, and his mana was incomparably vast. His true combat strength was absolutely comparable to that of a Middle Daluo cultivator, perhaps even greater!

As for the two siblings, their strength was likewise at the Middle Daluo realm.

With the initial calamity having only just passed and the situation in the Primordial World still unclear, traveling with a fellow Daoist of the same realm like Kong Xuan—one with formidable strength, a clear Dao heart, and seemingly no ill intent—would undoubtedly be far safer.
