Chapter 1380: Kun Peng (2/2)
This was a seemingly empty void. However, those who grasped the profundities of the grand dao would come to understand that this void was everything. It could give birth to time and s.p.a.ce and all kinds of creatures. Everything in the world originated from the void.
This void meant that everything was possible. It was the origin of all. The mysteries of the grand dao started here as well.
“Grand Primordial Dao.” Li Qiye sighed after seeing this nothingness: “Kun Peng, a supreme existence capable of shouldering everything. Alas, it was born in the wrong era. Otherwise, it would be able to evolve across time like all other creatures.”
The Grand Primordial Dao was the innate gift of a Kun Peng. Alas, weaker cultivators couldn’t understand its mysteries or uses. Only Immortal Emperors or existences like Li Qiye would be able to ponder it.
This was a mighty and mysterious creature. Rumor has it that since the start of time, only around three Kun Pengs appeared every epoch. This was a species rarer than even phoenixes.
There weren’t that many records of them either, thus people had a very limited understanding of this beast. Some emperors didn’t know the real profundities behind its innate gift either. For example, this boundless continent made from its corpse contained endless mysteries.
Just this Kun Peng alone was obscured enough. No one knew where it came from or how it lived. For millions of years, Li Qiye had been to countless places and read many ancient books in addition to observing murals and monuments. He even knew the writings of the earliest people that no one else was privy to.
For example, this particular Kun Peng had great ties with the colossal race. One particular scroll stated that their race protected this Kun Peng when it was very young and tiny. Another stated the exact opposite, that this Kun Peng was the one that protected their race because they had a supreme bloodline…
No one could find out which statement was correct since it was too old to be traced. Nevertheless, it was worth pondering. If the colossal race was protecting this Kun Peng, it would mean that the beast was still a child. This beckons the question, just how large would an adult Kun Peng be? What was the ultimate limit of its size?
If it was indeed young and its corpse was already tens of millions of miles long, wouldn’t an adult Kun Peng be able to devour the nine worlds just by opening its mouth?
As the mirror has shown, a Kun Peng could swim among the stars. Everything else seemed insignificant in comparison.
Li Qiye also knew of one more secret. If this Kun Peng was still young, then it could only be said that it was born in the wrong era. If it had completely matured, it wouldn’t have died in this place. This would have changed the wheel of time. Countless eras would have been different, and the same goes for all of the inhabitants. History itself would have to be rewritten.
Of course, these were mere speculations. Moreover, the beast itself had always been mysterious and hid in the river of time.
Li Qiye sat cross-legged while looking at the mirror in order to ponder the obscured void. He entered a state of zen and immersed himself within.
The endless dao took form in his eyes. It was as if this was the start of the oldest derivation of the dao. The most subtle transformation took place here. This void contained everything in this world. One would be able to find all merit laws, techniques, and branches of the dao in this place.
Perhaps this was the true beginning of the fundamentals of the grand dao.
