Volume One: The Lich's Calamity Chapter 207: Kong Xuan Descends, Great Powers Assemble

Near the southern edge of the Primordial Wilderness, within the Five Elements Realm, stood the Five Elements Peak. At this moment, countless forces of the Five Elements converged atop the peak. All innate elemental spiritual energies flowed toward a single point.

At the same time, at the Undying Volcano, within the Southern Bright Spirit Heaven...

“Elder, why do you look so troubled?” A Phoenix Clan elder asked the Great Elder Feng Ming, noticing his worried expression.

“Ah, during the great war of the three clans, the prince was born. The clan leader was overwhelmed and inadvertently left the two princes outside!” Feng Ming sighed deeply. “Lately, for some unknown reason, I’ve felt unsettled and recalculated the signs. It seems the prince is about to be born soon as well!”

When questioned by the elder, Feng Ming replied with a sigh, “Rest assured, Elder. The prince is a fortunate soul destined for heaven’s protection; nothing will go wrong!”

“Let’s hope so! We cannot leave the Undying Volcano; even if—there’s nothing we can do!”

Meanwhile, the prince Feng Ming mentioned—the son of the Primordial Phoenix—was facing numerous challenges.

At Mount Sumeru...

“Senior Brother, judging by the situation, this seems to be an extraordinary being just born. Though seemingly a postnatal life form, it rivals many innate divine beings. If not for its late birth, the impact it caused would almost match that of us innate divine beings! Why don’t we invite it to join us in the West?”

Just as the guide was about to speak, they realized that Zhunti was no longer on Mount Sumeru.

“Hey, Junior Brother, when will you change your ways? The West has completely transformed now. Sooner or later, it will catch up with the East. Why provoke so many great beings in the East?”

Yet, if Zhunti wasn’t like this, would he still be Zhunti Daoist? Perhaps even Zhunti himself was unaware of this.

In the Heavenly Court’s Lingxiao Palace...

“What is happening on the Primordial Earth to cause such a commotion?” Emperor Jun suddenly appeared on Lingxiao Palace, scanning the demon race below with imposing authority.

“Your Majesty, at the southern border, a gifted being seems to have been born!”

Emperor Jun did not take it entirely to heart.

“I sense it is time to sever the third corpse soon! Focus more on the Heavenly Court’s affairs. As long as this does not affect the court, decide as you see fit!”

“Congratulations to the Demon Emperor!” Many of the demon race congratulated Emperor Jun.

Yet in the next moment, Emperor Jun vanished from Lingxiao Palace.

Ultimately, Bai Ze chose to send a Demon Saint to investigate. Such a gifted being, if brought under their banner, would become a valuable asset to the Heavenly Court.

But would fate truly grant his wish?

Meanwhile, at Kunlun Mountain...

“Ah, such a gifted being still appears! Perhaps I should pay a visit.” Sensing the great momentum, Tongtian also noticed and intended to investigate.

Suddenly, Taishang spoke up.

“The being carries great fortune; no wonder the situation is as it is. Third Brother, if you wish, you may try, but do not force it if it resists.”

Taishang’s words were full of meaning.

“Elder Brother, do you know something?”

Hearing this, Tongtian and the others quickly looked toward Taishang.

Taishang shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say.”

Upon hearing this, Tongtian nodded and swiftly headed south.

After Tongtian left, Yuanshi asked, “Elder Brother, do you really know nothing?”

“I only have some guesses; that’s why I said so,” Taishang smiled mysteriously and closed his eyes to roam the Dao.

At Mount Buzhou...

Qingkong called Ao Qing over.

“Master seeks me? What is the matter?”

“Go to the Five Elements Peak! See if you can bring that youngster back. If he agrees, bring him; if not, let it be.”

Qingkong could only sigh at the predicament left by Wuyunmai. Though it was his doing, he was the one tasked to handle it!

Ao Qing agreed swiftly and set off toward Five Elements Peak.

Unbeknownst to Qingkong and Ao Qing, at Mount Wuyi...

A Daoist suddenly sensed something and chuckled.

“I was planning to go myself, but since you’ve already acted, I needn’t trouble myself!”

He then plunged back into Mount Wuyi. He was none other than Wuyun.

“Eh, so much time has passed, yet still no sign! Could it be that I have no destiny with this after all?” Wuyun muttered as she observed her surroundings.

She had come to Mount Wuyi seeking the lost treasure coins.

However, to Wuyun’s surprise, despite her long search, she still could not find the treasure.

On the Southern Continent, Five Elements Peak...

Countless bolts of thunder struck a magnificent multicolored giant egg. As the thunder crashed down, the giant egg gradually cracked open.

From within emerged a stunningly beautiful bird, which let out a proud cry, resolutely facing the thunder tribulation above.

It seemed utterly indifferent to the overwhelming storm, proudly lifting its head.

This was the first postnatal peacock, born with immense great fortune.

Though postnatal, it belonged among the innate beings.

As the thunder tribulation dissipated entirely, the surrounding innate elemental spiritual energy continuously gathered toward the peacock.

Simultaneously, countless primal elemental forces surged from within the Five Elements Realm, swiftly infused into the peacock’s body.

“So it is the first postnatal being bearing the ancestral phoenix bloodline—no wonder it possesses such great fortune! Yet this place feels somewhat special... and strangely familiar,” Tongtian, having reached the Five Elements Peak first, hid in the shadows, observing the peacock’s passage through the thunder tribulation.

“Ah, still a step late!” Just as Zhunti arrived at the peak, he spotted Tongtian lurking and was immediately noticed. He could only approach and greet him.

“So Senior Brother Tongtian has arrived first! Looks like your information is quite reliable!”

Zhunti’s voice carried directly to Tongtian’s ears.

“Ah, Junior Brother Zhunti!”

Before Tongtian could speak further, Zhunti, unfazed, said, “Senior Brother Tongtian, I suddenly sensed a being here connected to our West, so I hurried over. Who knew I was still a step behind you!”

Tongtian heard this and wasn’t sure how to respond. Everyone in the Primordial Wilderness knew Zhunti Daoist was shameless—whenever he saw a promising treasure, he’d claim some connection to it!

While the two conversed briefly, the thunder tribulation above had fully fallen.

Below, the peacock, having passed through the tribulation and with the storm clouds cleared, let out a cry and soared upward.

In an instant, countless innate elemental spiritual energies swirled rapidly, converging upon its form.

“What a profound talent in the Five Elements! Just born and already able to draw such a vast scale of innate elemental energy—its future is boundless!” Tongtian marveled upon witnessing this remarkable clarity.
