126: Transformation
Qing Wu looked at these two silly birds who had made themselves look disheveled—one a schemer, one an unlucky one, definitely two problem youths.
No, they haven't transformed yet, so they can't be called youths; they should be called adolescent birds.
However, although they had personality flaws, their gestation period wasn't that long.
But because their Origin was truly powerful, they had already reached the Golden Immortal Perfection Realm, able to step into the Taiyi Realm at any time, and their transformation was just around the corner.
"Come, since you have been born, I shall preach the Dao to you once. I hope you can transform soon and not fall short of..."
Originally, Qing Wu wanted to say not to lose the face of those two Fellow Daoists.
But on second thought, the two Fellow Daoists, Five Elements and Yin and Yang, were already dead; the two before him were just two beings born from their Origin and Great Dao.
To a certain extent, they were already brand new lives.
Five Elements and Yin and Yang were, after all, Chaos Gods and Demons, making it difficult to seek transcendence in the Great Desolation.
Kong Xuan and Jin Peng are creatures of the Great Desolation recognized by heaven and earth, making it possible for them to grasp that sliver of life.
The two cannot be compared.
The two birds stretched their necks blankly, waiting for Qing Wu to finish his unfinished sentence.
Qing Wu smiled faintly, "Listen well, I shall begin the lecture now."
Hearing this, the two birds immediately raised their heads and listened intently.
This lecture was about the Great Dao of Five Elements and Yin and Yang, exactly what he had gained during the Dao Discussion with those two Fellow Daoists back then.
However, it was combined with Qing Wu's insights after the changes in the Great Desolation. Passing it on to Kong Xuan and Jin Peng now was perfectly appropriate.
The two birds were enveloped in seven-colored brilliance, frequently entering a state of enlightenment, and their Aura rose steadily.
Ling Ling also listened quietly on the side; although her Dao didn't perfectly match what was being taught, she could still gain something.
Additionally, Tiangou also lay prone beside Qing Wu.
Feeling its master's dao rhyme, it fell into a sweet sleep.
This lecture lasted for ten thousand years.
Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, full of gains, could no longer suppress it; a Breakthrough was imminent.
Suddenly, Jin Peng looked at Kong Xuan, who was still seriously enlightened, and let out a sharp cry, instantly triggering a change in heaven and earth.
The Yin and Yang Qi of heaven and earth fell like a waterfall, continuously gathering around him.
Radiant golden light and deep mysterious light intertwined, together forming the infinite mysteries of Yin and Yang.
With an even louder cry, Jin Peng flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
His body gradually blurred within the Yin and Yang Qi, every golden feather bursting with blinding divine light, and his pair of golden wings became increasingly brilliant.
Jin Peng's form began to change; feathers turned into a golden battle robe, sharp claws became sturdy limbs, and his entire body gradually revealed the outline of a handsome Innate Dao Body.
Amidst the golden light filling the sky, a golden-robed youth stood in the air, his entire body exuding an unstoppable Aura.
With a gentle flap of the wings on his back, countless Yin and Yang Qi were naturally generated, leaving lingering traces in the Void Realm.
Jin Peng laughed heartily towards the sky, his laughter filled with heroic spirit.
"In the end, I'm first, I won..."
Before he could finish, he saw that the one sitting below was no longer a peacock, but a gentle and elegant youth wearing a five-colored robe, looking at him with a wicked smile.
It had to be said, a schemer is a schemer; while Jin Peng triggered the phenomena of heaven and earth to make his transformation's display even more grand...
Kong Xuan had restrained the phenomena as much as possible and completed his transformation with lightning speed, now giving Jin Peng a slight smile.
"What are you saying, my dear little brother?"
Hearing this, Jin Peng was about to explode with anger, "You... when did you!"
Saying so, he gripped a handful of black and white feathers, making a move to attack again.
But feeling the faint rolling thunder above the Nine Heavens, a bad premonition emerged, and Jin Peng suppressed his anger.
"The two younger brothers have transformed!"
Jin Feng and Qing Luan also saw the phenomena of heaven and earth during their transformation and hurried over.
"Greetings to Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Eldest Senior Sister!" Kong Xuan bowed to them.
After some sorting out, he had figured out the hierarchy within the Immortal Volcano.
The two Dao Reverends were the highest, followed by the sisters Jin Feng and Qing Luan, then the Disciples taken by the two Dao Reverends: Eldest Senior Sister Ling Ling and Second Senior Brother Lu Shu, who was studying abroad.
Finally, it was his and Jin Peng's turn.
It seemed complicated, but it was actually easy to remember; simply put, it was arranged in chronological order.
But there was an exception, which was that dog.
Although he had followed the Dao Reverend very early, he basically had no status.
Since it existed as a pet, it was the type that everyone could step over.
So it could just be placed at the end.
Actually, Kong Xuan didn't care about the rest; as long as his status was above Jin Peng's, he had already won.
Similarly, Jin Peng was naturally very indignant about losing to Kong Xuan because he was born just a little bit later.
But on such an occasion, he could only accept it.
Bowing to them, he said, "Greetings to Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Eldest Senior Sister."
"And... Third Brother..."
Then, both of them bowed respectfully to Qing Wu, "Greetings, Dao Reverend!"
Seeing everyone under him so harmonious, Qing Wu also nodded with relief.
But he had a bad premonition that there would likely be many issues between these two problem youths.
He would need to pay more attention in the future.
He gave a few instructions, telling Kong Xuan and Jin Peng to just Cultivate according to the guidance within their Origin.
With their current Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, it might be difficult to Cultivate the Great Divine Abilities, Five-Colored Divine Light and Yin-Yang Divine Light.
But as long as they were willing to work hard, they would eventually succeed.
He had seen those two Fellow Daoists casually perform these two Divine Abilities; one could brush away anything, and the other could dissolve anything, truly extremely powerful.
As for Magic Treasures, there was no need to worry.
A certain old geezer would come knocking on the door.
He owed the Karma for Five Elements and Yin and Yang's help back then; now, for Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, who were born from their Dao, Hongjun would have to show some appreciation!
A supreme treasure on the level of the taiji diagram was impossible; after all, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng were not those two Fellow Daoists reincarnated.
But getting a few top-grade Spirit Treasures each was still possible.
Cultivation continued, duels continued, and time passed quickly.
Qing Wu lay under the Star Fruit Tree, listening to it recount what the many Spiritual Roots in the Immortal Volcano were thinking.
Ever since this fellow learned the Divine Ability of Qingmu Sound, it often used it to flirt with other Spiritual Roots.
For example, asking bitter bamboo why it was always shrouded in a kind of sorrow.
Showing off its newly mastered Divine Ability to the yellow center plum.
And asking the Gourd Vine why it sent away six gourds—was it because it didn't like them?
...And so on, all questions that touched on sore spots.
Because of this, this attention-seeker received many complaints from other Spiritual Roots.
However, with its influence, many Spiritual Roots became more active.
Their intelligence unconsciously became more enriched.
Regarding this, Qing Wu did not stop it.
On this day, Qing Wu suddenly looked up and saw that looming palace appearing again in the Chaos beyond the heavens.
"The second lecture is almost here..."
