Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned

Transported into the primeval wilderness, Kong Xuan awakens as the first peacock of the prehistoric era and the direct offspring of the Phoenix Ancestor, Yuan Feng. Blessed with cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, he stands peerless and invincible against all below the Saint level—a formidable advantage in any age. Yet his arrival coincides with the tumultuous Investiture of the Gods, as the bitter feud between the Chan and Jie Sects threatens to spill directly onto Jinji Ridge, placing him squarely in the path of an oncoming storm. Just as the crisis looms, a newly bound system manifests before Kong Xuan—only to take one terrified look at the prehistoric world and immediately attempt to flee. Unwilling to let his only advantage slip away, Kong Xuan seizes the errant system and refines it on the spot, claiming its sole reward: the supernatural ability "Ascension." Though it can be used but once, its power is absolute—able to elevate anything to a higher state of existence. In an instant, his Five-Colored Divine Light is sublimated into the Divine Light of the Great Dao, and his innate foundations are reforged to rival those of ancient Chaos Gods and Demons. With the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect now gathering at Golden Rooster Ridge, Kong Xuan stands ready to unleash his ascended might—and leave even the highest powers of the heavens utterly astonished.
