The Birth of a Primordial Treasure

When the Purple-Gold Qi blanketing the skies above the Primordial World boiled once more.

All the great beings of the Primordial World erupted in excitement as well.

Everyone stared intently into the skies above the Primordial World, wanting to see exactly what was happening.

Moments later, three beams of golden light descended at once.

This sent the crowd into an even greater uproar.

"Three beams of golden light?"

"Doesn't that mean there are three treasures?"

"First the Seven-Colored Gourds, then the Six Spirit Divine Lamps, then the Five Elements Banners, and just now the Four-Sided Lotus Platform. What treasures are these three beams of golden light now?"

Everyone began discussing fervently.

The three beams of golden light gradually gathered and took shape in the sky.

When many saw the treasures that had formed, realization dawned upon them.

"These are... books?"

"Other than the Hetu Luoshu... the remaining book-type treasures..."

"The Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man..."

As soon as those words were spoken.

Everyone was thrown into an uproar.

A set of three book-type treasures...

Was that not precisely the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

The Hongmeng Purple Gold List truly had ranked them well.

There was not the slightest error.

Grand Dao Script began descending from the sky.

["The Book of Heaven, known as the 'Investiture of the Gods' or the 'True Spirit Sage List.' Its auxiliary treasure is the God-Striking Whip. It records the Heavenly Dao. It is an artifact used to restrain the gods and eliminate the karmic causes of the great calamities of heaven and earth. Whenever a Measure Calamity begins, it can confer titles upon three hundred and sixty-five righteous principal gods, two thousand deputy gods, and eighty-four thousand divine fiends, celestial guards, heavenly soldiers, and heavenly generals. The Investiture of the Gods is primarily used to eliminate karmic sin from the world! Owner: Yuanshi!"]

["The Earth Book, known as the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' or the 'Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.' Its auxiliary treasure is the 'Earth Membrane.' It records the Earth Dao. Beyond that, it records all living things and phenomena between heaven and earth. There is nothing it does not know, nothing it does not understand! At the same time, it possesses boundless defensive power. So long as one stands upon the earth, one receives endless blessings from the Earth Dao. Owner: Zhen Yuanzi!"]

["The Human Book, known as the 'Book of Life and Death' or the 'Book of Three Lifetimes.' Its auxiliary treasure is the Judge's Pen. It records the Human Dao. Beyond that, it records the names of every human and beast in the Primordial World, including the duration of their lifespan in the world of the living and the duration of their lifespan in the underworld. It is primarily used to control life and death. Its chief function is to determine life and death and judge yin and yang. Owner: Sanqi!"]

Everyone gazed at the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man that covered the sky.

The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Everyone's emotions were a tangled mess.

They had long heard of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Now, they had finally witnessed their true functions.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi of Five Villages Temple on Longevity Mountain began trembling all over.

The excitement in his heart was impossible to express.

Just moments ago, he had thought that his treasure had failed to make the rankings.

His disappointment and dejection had nearly buried him.

After all, he only had two treasures worth displaying.

One was a Spiritual Root.

The other was the Earth Book.

He had originally thought that his Earth Book would fail to make the list.

He had not expected it to finally enter the Treasure Ranking.

If he, Zhen Yuanzi, truly had failed to make the rankings.

Then he would have become a complete joke.

Still, his Earth Book had not disappointed him after all.

At that moment, the concluding Grand Dao Script descended as well.

["Twenty-fourth on the Treasure Ranking: the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. They are Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. When the three books merge into one, they can form the Chaos Book. Thus, they rank twenty-fourth on the Mystic Treasure Chart."]

As soon as the Grand Dao Script appeared.

Many people felt as though thunder had exploded in their minds.

"They can merge into one?"

"The Chaos Book?"

"The Hongmeng Purple Gold List is truly insane. It even knows secrets like this..."

"Where did the Hongmeng Purple Gold List come from? Why can no secret remain hidden from it?"

"How have we never even heard of it?"

Even so, many great beings remained relatively calm...

After all, the shock that the Hongmeng Purple Gold List had brought them had already far exceeded the limits of what they could bear.

They were practically numb by now.

Yet everyone was filled with endless questions.

Other than the three or four Primordial Treasures that had yet to appear.

Everything that should have appeared had already appeared.

They truly could not think of any other powerful treasures that had not shown up on the rankings.

What exactly were those remaining twenty-odd treasures?

Though countless Primordial Great Beings appeared fairly calm on the surface.

Their anticipation had actually reached its peak.

Shortly afterward, endless golden light descended from the heavens again.

This time, the scale of the golden light was even greater.

It almost felt as though heavenly flowers were scattering while golden lotuses surged from the earth.

After all, the Treasure Ranking had already reached the twenties.

The treasures ahead were becoming increasingly powerful.

Naturally, the phenomena they created grew increasingly grand as well.

Upon witnessing such a sight, everyone muttered to themselves.

This time, it was not multiple treasures.

It had returned to a single treasure.

What kind of treasure was this one?

What sort of treasure could suppress the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

Moments later, the golden radiance finally manifested into a treasure.

It was a great bell emanating majestic heavenly might.

The sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind circled the outside of the bell.

Within the bell lay mountains, rivers, and land, with the myriad races of the Primordial World faintly visible inside.

Five-colored divine light illuminated the heavens, while holy Chaos might shook the universe.

The two Honored Ones in the Heavenly Court abruptly rose to their feet when they saw this great bell.

Disbelief filled their eyes.

In their memories, this treasure had been a contender for first place.

Why had it appeared now?

Emperor Jun stared at Taiyi with an ugly expression.

"Worthy brother, your Chaos Bell only ranks twenty-third? Isn't that utterly unbelievable?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression was equally terrible.

His lips trembled, yet he could not utter a word.

His Chaos Bell was a Primordial Treasure.

Why had it appeared now?

Could it be that there were more than twenty Primordial Treasures in the heavens and earth of the Primordial World?

That was simply too unbelievable.

No matter how he thought about it, he found it difficult to accept.

At Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island, Sage Tongtian also abruptly rose from among the clouds upon seeing this treasure.

He understood this treasure extremely well.

After all, it was known as the number one defensive treasure in the Primordial World.

Meanwhile, the Four Swords of Zhuxian in his possession were number one in slaughter.

They were the very embodiment of spear and shield.

He had never expected this treasure to appear so soon.

Was this not far too early?

This treasure was a Primordial Treasure.

Now that the Chaos Bell had appeared...

Did that not mean his Four Swords of Zhuxian would appear soon as well?

Would his Four Swords of Zhuxian then fail to even rank among the top twenty?

Master Tongtian's expression became exceedingly grim.

If that were truly the case.

It would be nothing less than a disaster for them Sages.

The Primordial World concealed at least twenty Primordial Treasures...

What a terrifying prospect that was?

Yuanshi Tianzun within Jade Void Palace also rose abruptly.

His gaze remained fixed on the Chaos Bell in the sky.

The Chaos Bell had appeared...

Would his Pangu Banner not appear as well?

Of course, he knew what that implied.

At this moment, many Primordial Great Beings became thoroughly excited.

The rankings for Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had all been completed.

The upcoming rankings would be for Primordial Treasures...

The endless purple qi swiftly transformed into Grand Dao Script.

["Twenty-third on the Treasure Ranking: Chaos Bell. Primordial Treasure. The Chaos Bell possesses infinite profundity and boundless creation. It can imprison time and suppress space. It can rebound the attacks of any treasure or divine weapon and ignore the damage of all divine abilities and spells. It combines offense and defense; place it above one's head, and one stands invincible from the outset. Its bell toll is vast, the cosmos resplendent; heaven and earth lose their color, and the universe trembles. Owner: Taiyi!"]

"Sure enough, the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell only ranks twenty-third."

"In other words, from twenty-third onward, there are at least Primordial Treasures..."

"The Primordial World still hides more than twenty Primordial Treasures..."

"Just thinking about it is fucking terrifying..."

"Indeed... I feel like I've been screwed over by a dog right now..."

"The Chaos Bell, which originally seemed capable of taking first place, has appeared already... Isn't this fucking ridiculous?"

"What exactly are the things ranked ahead of it?"

"It is truly unimaginable..."

All kinds of chaotic voices rang endlessly through the skies of the Primordial World.

Everyone awaited the next treasure.

Though only a brief moment passed, everyone felt as if each day lasted a year.

At last, the Purple-Gold Qi filling the sky boiled once more.

Another treasure manifested...

"Ah... I never expected it to be this thing?"
