Kong Wenxuan refined three of his Five Elements Divine Swords, fought at the Flamingo Lie Household’s ruins, and traveled beyond the Demon-Suppressing Pass to help the Kong Household secure a Vermilion Fruit tree. After defeating Lang Household pursuers with the Kong Household’s illusion formations, the group returned with the tree and fruits, refusing the Du Household’s offer to take the tree.
Kong Wenxuan helped the Kong Household besiege the Lang Household, then returned to the Demon-Suppressing Pass as a Demon Beast horde gathered and the Du Household’s threat became clear. He secretly reached Foundation Establishment, raised the Peacock Bloodline to Ninth-Grade True Spirit, and passed the trial to defend his new star.
Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household survived the Du Household’s bloodline-sacrifice scheme, claimed territory in the collapsing Cuckoo Secret Realm, and fought off a wolf-led beast tide. As Kong Wenxuan pursued the wider crisis, he discovered a fox demon and a chameleon demon had laid a trap for his household.
Kong Wenxuan helped the Fire Crow Ya Household defeat a Demon Race ambush at Demon-Suppressing Pass, then returned to rebuild the Kong Household’s strength and establish its standing among the region’s True Spirit lineages. As the Kong Household prepared for a measured expansion, the Bifang True Spirit Star appeared and sent Dao Soldiers south toward the pass.
After the Bi Household killed a Fifth Tier demon, the Kong Household prepared to expand into the southern mountains, where Kong Wenxuan and Kong Yushuo discovered hostile cultivators, a dangerous Demon Race presence, and rumors drawing people toward Flying Peak. The arc left cultivators gathering for an expedition as Kong Wenxuan suspected the surviving Demon Race was behind the growing lure.
The Kong Household joined the Ya Household’s campaign to clear Flying Peak, where the Du Household and Cuckoo Demon Race revealed a trap aimed at Cuckoo County. After fighting through the eastern peak and helping break the Five Elements Demon Array, Kong Wenxuan stayed behind as the demons fled and Ya Zhaoying was ambushed by a hidden Third Tier Earth Dragon.
After Flying Peak collapsed, Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household chose a new territory, captured a Stone Disc Turtle, and began building Peacock County. Two years of expansion brought heavy losses and financial strain, while Kong Wenxuan completed the Crimson Fire Divine Sword’s advancement and neared the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household defended their new county from a coordinated assault, completed its boundary defenses, and helped allied cultivators establish their foundations. They then opened the Peacock Secret Realm, where they fought waves of Devil Creatures and drew an Otherworldly Origin Fragment into the growing realm.
Kong Wenxuan led the Kong Household through the corruption of a world fragment, the creation of its secret realm, and a wave of Foundation Establishment breakthroughs. After settling in Peacock County, the Lineage organized its new responsibilities, built trade connections, and established a presence in Bifang Commandery City, where its relations with other lineages began to take shape.
Kong Wenxuan traced the Cuckoo Demon Race to a hidden realm beneath South Lake and helped the Bi Household invade it. After fighting through demon-blood clans and the Red Fox city, he saw the Du Household begin a ritual to revive the False Phoenix.
Kong Wenxuan survived the destruction of the Demon Race’s secret realm and helped repel an invasion from the True Martial World before advancing to the Third Tier. He then led the Kong Household through the Peacock True Spirit Star’s trials, raising it to Eighth-Grade Upper-Class rank and gaining a promotion, as neighboring lineages began sending congratulations.
The Kong Household rose to Eighth-Grade True Spirit status, expanded Peacock County, and strengthened its forces while Kong Wenxuan refined his Five Elements Divine Swords. As the Peacock Secret Realm grew, the household fought off Devil Creatures, but a coordinated invasion by the Demon Race and True Martial World breached the realm’s defenses.
Kong Wenxuan helped annihilate the invaders in the Peacock Secret Realm, strengthened the Kong Household, and led reinforcements to rescue the He Household and reclaim Black Crane County City. The allied households then pursued the retreating enemies into the Eastern Forest Great Marsh, where a Ten Thousand Demons Formation blocked their advance.
Kong Wenxuan helped Bifang Commandery destroy the True Martial Hall and claim its Origin Fragments, then returned to cultivation as the Ya Household rose to Seventh-Grade rank. After surviving a fresh Demon Race attack, the Kong Household celebrated Kong Yuyin’s breakthrough and mourned Kong Yushan’s fall to demonic backlash.
Kong Wenxuan advanced his sword arts while the Kong Household joined campaigns in Qinggeng and Azure Sparrow Counties. The Geng Household’s grand formation trapped the invaders in a forest realm, where Kong Wenxuan reached the current peak of his sword techniques and turned toward the wider battle.
Kong Wenxuan returned from battle, healed Kong Changlan, and advanced to the Golden Core Stage before leading the Kong Household through the Peacock True Spirit Star’s Rank Advancement Trial. After the star reached the Seventh-Grade True Spirit Heaven, he began refining his divine swords and welcomed visiting lineages to contests meant to test the Kong Household’s younger cultivators.
Kong Wenxuan helped the Bi Household build a protective array, cleared the South Lake Mountains, and led the Kong Household through years of territorial expansion. When the Peacock Secret Realm reached the Fourth Tier, a Demon force invaded, leaving Kong Wenxuan to defend the realm as the unfinished formation came under attack.
Kong Wenxuan strengthened the Kong Household, helped Patriarch Kong Changgeng reach Golden Core, and led their defense against repeated invasions of the Peacock True Spirit Star. After the fighting spread to Black Crane County, the Kong Household joined the war at Demon-Suppressing Pass, where a golden-armored giant ape emerged as a dangerous new opponent.
Kong Wenxuan helped defeat the invasion through the Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven rift and used his battle merits to advance the Crimson Fire Divine Sword. After the war, Kong Yushuo reached the Golden Core Stage, and the Kong Household attended the Bi Household’s celebration of its advancement to a Fifth-Grade True Spirit Lineage.
Kong Wenxuan refined his swords and joined the Bi Household caravan, then became a pivotal fighter when the Demon Race and martial cultivators invaded. He saved allied forces across several battlefields, but was grievously injured before the attackers’ banner collapsed and the invaders retreated.
