In fiction · Investiture of the Gods
Originally a general of the Shang dynasty at Sanshan Pass, his true form was a peacock. He cultivated the five-colored divine light, capturing famous generals of Xiqi and immortals of the Chan sect, blocking the Zhou army. Eventually, he was subdued by the Daoist Zhunti.
History vs. fiction
The Combination of the Five-Color Divine Light and the Peacock King
In the「封神演义」, Kong Xuan is depicted as a top-tier combatant, whose five-color divine light can brush away anything. Chapter 071 of the novel records: “准提道人将孔宣用丝绦扣著他颈下，把加持宝杵放在他身上，口称：‘道友，请现原形！’霎时间，现出一只目细冠红孔雀来。” This plot design directly borrows from the Buddhist belief in the Great Peacock Ming King. The「史记」records that the Shang-Zhou war involved only mortals on both sides, with no mention of a peacock spirit serving as a general. Kong Xuan's deeds are entirely fictional creations of the novel.
