125: Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, troubled teenagers

The Gourd Vine's tendrils carefully wrapped around two divine eggs.

It chose two special nodes as placement locations, which were transformed from the six gourds it had originally borne.

One had a rich Five Elements aura, while the other constantly evolved the Yin and Yang Law, perfectly matching them.

The vine shook gently, and the nodes naturally formed two exquisite vine baskets, lined with soft spiritual leaves.

The two eggs were placed within them, beginning to absorb the essence of the nest the Gourd Vine had meticulously crafted for them.

Qing Wu watched from a distance and found that the Gourd Vine's care was far more delicate than imagined, even better than for the remaining gourd.

That gourd seemed to feel the competition, swaying its body from time to time, wanting to knock the two outsiders away.

But they weren't pushovers either; protected by the Five Elements and Yin and Yang Qi, the gourd couldn't move them.

Thus, about ten thousand years passed, and the five-colored divine egg was the first to show movement.

"This is... Kong Xuan is coming out!" Qing Wu couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

If one were to speak of whose reputation below the Saint level was the most resounding in later legends...

Kong Xuan was the undisputed choice.

Not only was his combat power outstanding, but his record was also very impressive, even earning him the title of the number one person below the Saint level.

A golden crack appeared on the surface of the five-colored divine egg. In an instant, ten thousand rays of divine light filled the valley, and the Five-Colored Divine Light soared into the sky, dyeing the entire sky into a magnificent colorful silk.

The moment the eggshell completely shattered, a beautiful figure flapped its wings and emerged—Kong Xuan was born.

His entire body flowed with Five Elements divine light, five long feathers naturally formed a crown on his head, and when his tail screen unfurled, the Five-Colored Divine Lights of green, yellow, red, black, and white interwove and flowed, reflecting the valley with ten thousand rays of light.

He stood tall upon the vine, his gaze sharp as lightning, his whole body exuding an innate arrogance.

Qing Wu watched from a distance, "Looking at this, there doesn't seem to be a problem."

This Kong Xuan not only inherited the Five Elements Origin and was favored by the Five Elements Law from birth, but coupled with an arrogance like that of Yuan Feng, he was already a perfect existence.

However, in the next moment, Kong Xuan's actions shattered this first impression.

Just as Kong Xuan emerged from the eggshell, after checking the surroundings, he immediately crawled back in.

He only left his head outside, constantly scanning the surroundings as if worried someone would suddenly launch a sneak attack.

This left Qing Wu completely bewildered.

Nowadays, the Immortal Volcano, aside from that Zixiao Palace, could be called the safest place in the entire Great Desolation.

With him here, who could possibly launch a sneak attack?

It seemed the defect Yuan Feng mentioned should be right here.

He didn't know what the Five Elements Fellow Daoist's Origin had experienced to leave Kong Xuan with such a lingering side effect.

However, after realizing everything around him was safe, Kong Xuan also stepped out from the eggshell.

He didn't start to Cultivate, but flew to the other side, landing beside the nest holding the Yin and Yang divine egg, seemingly waiting for Jin Peng's birth.

Not long after Kong Xuan settled down, that Yin and Yang divine egg suddenly vibrated violently.

Yin and Yang Qi interwove and flowed on the surface of the eggshell, and dao rhyme gradually dissipated.

With a crisp sound, a dazzling golden light broke through the shell and soared straight into the Nine Heavens—Jin Peng was born.

Unlike Kong Xuan's five-colored beauty, Jin Peng's whole body exuded a pure Yin and Yang divine charm, with twin fish patterns accompanying the flapping of his wings.

However, that pair of eyes was clear and foolish, looking very easy to deceive.

His entrance wasn't exactly graceful either.

He flapped his wings and hopped out of the eggshell, but missed his footing on the very first step, nearly falling from the edge of the vine basket.

Flapping his wings, he finally managed to stabilize himself.

At this moment, the long-waiting Kong Xuan gave a cheerful cry, spread his wings, soared up, and directly kicked him away.

Seeing this, Qing Wu couldn't help but facepalm.

This Kong Xuan, why is he such a Lao Liu?

And Jin Peng, a total Da Yuan Zhong.

A Lao Liu and a Da Yuan Zhong, another pair of frenemies.

Kong Xuan spiraled in the air, the five-colored brilliance forming a pattern of the Five Elements circulation.

Then he dove down, his five-colored divine feathers continuously drawing the five-colored brilliance, attacking towards Jin Peng.

In the air, Jin Peng shook his still-dizzy head, his eyes flickering with an ignorant light.

He seemed not to have figured out what happened yet.

But seeing Kong Xuan flying towards him, he immediately entered a combat state and began scuffling with him in the air.

Seven-colored feathers fell all over the ground.

Their battle attracted many creatures to watch.

Seeing this, Qing Wu shook his head again; they started fighting like this even before taking human form.

In the future, the two would probably always be like this.

But this also perfectly matched the frenemy nature of the two, Yin and Yang and Five Elements.

Just like the two who had fought for countless ages without a winner.

Kong Xuan and Jin Peng fought for a long time, still without a winner.

Many creatures watched for a bit, felt it was boring, and left.

Meanwhile, the Tengu watching the show from the side didn't mind making things bigger, constantly heckling.

Kong Xuan and Jin Peng seemed to reach an agreement, suddenly turning around and chasing after the Tengu.

Where had the Tengu ever seen such a scene? It was only here to watch.

Caught off guard, it even forgot that the two were just born and wouldn't be its match.

In its panic, the Tengu scrambled and crawled, howling as it bolted away.

The dignified General Tiangou now had not a shred of dignity left, becoming like a stray dog being chased everywhere.

Seeing the green-clad figure standing ahead, the Tengu saw its savior and hurriedly hid behind him, snitching to its master.

Seeing that the Tengu had backed down, Kong Xuan and Jin Peng immediately turned their spearheads back at each other, scuffling once again.

Five-colored brilliance surged, Yin and Yang Qi interwove; the scene was grand and spectacular.

This time, they were determined to decide who was the elder brother and who was the senior.

Suddenly, a sharp blade swept towards the two, trailing lightning arcs and piercing through the air.

The two reacted quickly, immediately splitting up to dodge, avoiding the dagger's edge.

The dagger plunged into the ground, serving as an anchor point.

In the next moment, two bolts of lightning fell, faint Zixiao Qi dissipating, accurately striking the two and knocking them down from the clouds.

"Before the Dao Venerable, how dare you be so insolent!"

Ling Ling tossed the two silly birds in front of Qing Wu.

Due to being struck by Ling Ling's divine lightning, Kong Xuan and Dapeng were both a bit dazed, unable to tell directions for a moment, and even struggled to stand up.

The helpful Gourd Vine extended two tendrils, propped them up, and conveniently infused some spiritual power, helping them recover some health.

Only then did the two shakily stand up, their consciousness slightly returning.

Only then did they remember that they had been so focused on their fight that they had ignored the presence of this person.

Long before they had even broken out of their shells, they had clearly sensed two powerful and gentle dao rhymes permeating the surrounding environment.

And the Gourd Vine had also given them prenatal education, telling them to pay respects to the two Dao Venerables after they were born.

They had forgotten it all.

Raising their heads, they happened to meet Qing Wu's slightly majestic gaze.

Both of them shrunk their necks, "Greetings... Dao Venerable..."
