Chapter 1: The Birth of the Great Roc, the God of Weather

With Dao Lord Qingxuan establishing the Six Realms, all clans selected representatives to lead their respective peoples to live and survive in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Although none of them understood the significance of this decision, they all chose to obey.

When all the tribes arrived at the Earth Immortal Realm, they discovered that it was no different from the world they had originally inhabited in the Primordial World.

As a yet-unexplored world, the Earth Immortal Realm actually contained even more opportunities and fortuitous encounters.

Mount Buzhou.

Kong Xuan was led by Qingkong to the beneath the Creation Green Lotus, where he saw a giant black and white egg resting under the lotus.

"Is this my sibling, born of the same mother and naturally imbued with the primal source of Yin and Yang?"

As soon as Kong Xuan arrived, he felt a tugging sensation within his bloodline.

It was a feeling Kong Xuan had never experienced before, sending faint calls and resonance through his senses.

Thus, Kong Xuan stood beneath the Green Lotus, quietly observing the eggshell as it began to crack.

"Teacher was indeed not wrong; this is truly an extremely formidable Yin and Yang innate talent."

However, what Kong Xuan was thinking in his heart was that this younger brother was stupid enough to try and refine his own source into a spiritual treasure! If Wuyun had not told him, he might not even have wanted to acknowledge such a brother.

Kong Xuan waited here for nearly a millennium before Peng finally emerged into the world!

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and violent winds howled.

"It has actually directly triggered the descent of the Yin and Yang Qi. What is going on here?"

Watching the Qi of Yin and Yang subsequently and successively appearing in the sky, he could not help but mutter to himself.

The next moment, Qingkong suddenly appeared.

"Your younger brother... precisely because his talent is too powerful, it led to the foolish idea of refining his origin source into a spiritual treasure."

Kong Xuan then stared at Qingkong with a face full of confusion. Seeing this, Qingkong could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Think about it. Your Five Elements talent is already immensely strong. If another being with Yin and Yang talent were to appear as well, it would be unfair to both the heavens and the other clans! To put it simply, all of this is merely the self-regulation of the heavens and the earth!"

Upon hearing Qingkong's words, Kong Xuan suddenly came to a great realization, and then looked towards Peng, who was currently undergoing his heavenly tribulation.

Then, as if thinking of something, Kong Xuan asked Qingkong, "However, hasn't Peng's source already recovered now?"

"You are thinking too simply. Although Peng still possesses the Yin and Yang talent, no matter what, it is still a notch lower than being innate. This is why he required such a long time to gestate before being born! Coupled with the fact that heaven and earth have already been altered a great deal by the Honored One, you should already be aware of this!"

Only then did Kong Xuan nod in sudden enlightenment.

"Crack!" "Chirp!"

A huge roc suddenly burst forth from the giant egg, followed by a sharp, piercing cry.

Its wings nearly blotted out the sky, and it flew directly to meet the thunder descending from the heavens head-on.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan could not help but have the urge to cover his face with his hand. This is just too stupid, Kong Xuan thought to himself.

However, although Peng was somewhat reckless, its strength was quite impressive. The lightning falling from the sky was directly dispersed and annihilated as its dual wings flapped, conjuring countless black and white forces of Yin and Yang.

When the thunder tribulation finally passed, Peng's ordeal was not yet over, as countless streams of Yin and Yang Qi continuously converged upon it.

Even Kong Xuan could not help but feel worried upon seeing this.

However, this Qi of Yin and Yang seemed like nourishment added for Peng; the roc opened its mouth wide and swallowed it all directly into its belly.

Seeing this, Qingkong laughed and scolded, "Absurd! Is the Qi of Yin and Yang so easily digested?"

Nevertheless, Qingkong quickly cast a beam of creation green light, which instantly descended upon Peng.

Only then did Kong Xuan see that the Qi of Yin and Yang, which had been intermittently threatening to burst through Peng's belly, finally quiet down.

Clearly, with Qingkong's assistance, the roc managed to digest it. The roc suddenly emitted a joyful cry.

The next moment, a handsome, elegant, and extraordinarily striking young man casually appeared beside Kong Xuan and Qingkong.

"Are you my elder brother?" As soon as Peng took human form, he questioned Kong Xuan with an imposing and aggressive aura. That tone sounded more like interrogation than a gentle greeting.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan suddenly allowed a rich, five-colored brilliance to bloom from his body, which descended upon Peng the next moment.

"You—how can you launch a sneak attack!"

No matter how Peng struggled, he was completely unable to move freely, and could only glare angrily at Kong Xuan.

"Since we are blood brothers born of the same mother, I, as your elder brother, must shoulder the responsibility of educating you.

"I need to make you understand that this is no proper way to greet an elder brother!"

With that, Kong Xuan ignored Peng completely.

"Since you have already been born and are Kong Xuan's younger brother, from now on you shall follow Kong Xuan to temporarily reside on the Five Elements Peak. It will just give Kong Xuan a chance to discipline you, lest you retain such a lawless temperament!"

Seeing this, Qingkong merely smiled as he spoke to the two of them.

"But isn't the Five Elements Peak the teacher's Daoist sanctuary?" Kong Xuan asked with apprehension.

"Wuyun rarely stays on the Five Elements Peak anyway; that place is just right for your cultivation."

Qingkong spoke in a tone that allowed no room for refusal.

In the end, Kong Xuan had no choice but to agree.

"I, Jinchi, refuse to submit! How can the two of you decide my coming and going so casually? I actually think this place is quite suitable for my cultivation!"

Jinchi, which was to say Peng, pouted and muttered in dissent.

However, neither of them bothered to listen to his opinion.

In the end, Qingkong pointed directly into the void, and a spatial passageway rapidly materialized.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan understood and quickly led Jinchi into it, disappearing from Mount Buzhou.

At the same time, Chenrui arrived in the Netherworld space to see Houtu.

"Houtu greets Uncle!"

"Very well. I have come because I want the souls of Fengbo and the others. You should have collected their souls!"

Chenrui waved his hand dismissively and asked Houtu directly.

Hearing this, Houtu nodded at Chenrui, then asked with a face full of doubt.

"I wonder what Uncle wants with the souls of the Great Wizard Fengbo and the others?"

"Although heaven and earth operate by themselves, there are inevitably flaws and omissions. This requires us, cultivators, to regulate and adjust them.

"This is why Hongjun harmonized with the Heavenly Dao, and why you preside over the Netherworld space. You should understand this better than I do!"

Houtu nodded in acknowledgment.

Then Chenrui continued speaking.

"Now that the Primordial World has evolved and gradually perfected, the deities responsible for operating heaven and earth are about to be born, and Fengbo and the others are the best candidates for this. Coupled with the Honored One's order for all clans to move into the Earth Immortal Realm, the need for celestial deities to regulate things is even greater!

"The deities of the four seasons have always been served by Jumang and the others; now that they have attained the Dao, it is much more convenient for them to handle matters, but positions like the weather and lightning punishments cannot do without personnel entirely."

Hearing this, Houtu suddenly understood. She waved her sleeve, and four souls immediately appeared before Chenrui.

Seeing this, Chenrui nodded.

Then, golden light emerged from Chenrui's body, and he pointed his finger successively at the souls of the four Great Wizards.
