Primordial Treasure Appears

When the purple-gold qi that blanketed the Primordial World's sky began to seethe once more...

All the great powers of the Primordial World seethed along with it.

Every gaze locked onto the sky above the Primordial World, straining to see clearly.

Moments later, three beams of golden light descended simultaneously.

This time, the commotion grew even fiercer.

"Three golden beams?"

"Does that mean 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 golden beams now?"

Everyone buzzed with discussion.

The three golden beams gradually coalesced into forms in the sky.

Many who saw the assembled treasures had a sudden epiphany.

"These are... books?"

"Aside from the Hetu Luoshu... the remaining book-type treasures..."

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

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire crowd erupted in uproar.

A combination of three book-type treasures...

Wasn't that exactly the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

This Hongmeng Purple Gold List was truly well-arranged.

Not a single flaw to be found.

The Grand Dao Script began to descend from the sky.

["Heaven Book: Named 'Investiture of the Gods' or 'True Spirit Sage List,' auxiliary treasure: God-Striking Whip. Records the Heavenly Dao. Used to constrain the gods and eliminate the karmic instruments of great tribulations in the world. At the start of each Measure Calamity, it can enshrine three hundred and sixty-five main righteous gods, two thousand deputy main gods, and eighty-four thousand divine-sha soldiers and heavenly troops. The Investiture of the Gods is primarily used to eliminate worldly karmic debts! Master: Original!"]

["Earth Book: Named 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' or 'Heaven-Earth Precious Mirror,' auxiliary treasure: 'Earth Membrane.' Records the Earthly Dao. Additionally, it records all the myriad things between heaven and earth. It knows all things, understands all things. At the same time, it possesses boundless defensive power. Standing upon the earth, it draws on infinite earthly Dao support. Master: Zhen Yuanzi!"]

["Human Book: Named 'Book of Life and Death' or 'Book of Three Lifetimes,' auxiliary treasure: Judge's Pen. Records the Human Dao. Additionally, it records the names of all people and livestock in the Primordial World, including their lifespans in the yang realm and yin realm. Its main function is to control life and death, determining one's life and judging one's yin and yang. Master: Sanqi!"]

The crowd stared at the Heaven, Earth, and Man Books that blotted out the sky.

The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Everyone's heart churned with mixed emotions.

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

Now, at last, they witnessed their true functions.

At this moment, in the Five Villages Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi trembled all over.

The excitement in his heart was beyond expression.

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

The disappointment and dejection had nearly buried him.

After all, he only had two treasures worth showing off.

One was a spiritual root.

The other was the Earth Book.

He had originally feared his Earth Book would be left off the list.

But it had finally made it onto the Mystic Treasure Chart.

If he, Zhen Yuanzi, had truly failed to rank...

That would have been a huge joke.

But his Earth Book, at least, had not let him down.

Just then, the summarizing Grand Dao Script descended.

["Mystic Treasure Chart Rank Twenty-Four: The Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Ranked as Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. When the three books merge, they form the Chaos Book, thus ranking twenty-fourth on the Mystic Treasure Chart."]

As the Grand Dao Script appeared.

Many felt as if thunderbolts were rolling through their minds.

"They can merge into one?"

"The Chaos Book?"

"This Hongmeng Purple Gold List is truly incredible—it even knows secrets like this..."

"Where did this Hongmeng Purple Gold List come from? Why can no secret hide from it?"

"How have I never heard of it before?"

But even so, many great powers remained composed...

After all, the shock the Hongmeng Purple Gold List had brought them had already far exceeded their capacity to bear.

They were practically numb by now.

Yet everyone was filled with endless questions.

Aside from the three or four Primordial Treasures that had yet to appear in this world.

Everything that should have appeared already had.

They truly couldn't think of what other powerful treasures were still missing from the ranking.

So what exactly were those twenty-plus remaining treasures?

Countless Primordial World great powers, though calm on the surface, had their expectations secretly reaching a peak.

A moment later, infinite golden light once again descended from the sky.

This time, the scale of the golden light was even more vast.

It almost felt like flowers raining from heaven and golden lotuses springing from the earth.

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

The treasures ahead were growing more and more powerful.

And naturally, the phenomena they caused were becoming grander and grander.

Seeing this sight, everyone murmured to themselves.

This time, it wasn't multiple treasures.

It had returned to a single one.

So what exactly was this treasure?

What kind of treasure could overpower the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

A moment later, the golden light finally manifested a treasure.

It was a great bell radiating majestic heavenly might.

The bell's exterior was encircled by sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind.

Within the bell, mountains, rivers, and the myriad races of the Primordial World flickered into view.

Five-colored divine light illuminated the heavens, and the sacred might of Chaos shook the cosmos.

The two Honored Ones in the Heavenly Court abruptly rose upon seeing this bell.

Incredulity flashed in their eyes.

In their memory, this treasure was a contender for the top of the list.

Why was it appearing now?

Emperor Jun looked at Taiyi with a grim expression:

"Brother, your Chaos Bell is only ranked twenty-third? That's truly unbelievable, isn't it?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face was equally ugly.

His lips trembled, but he couldn't form words.

This Chaos Bell of his was a Primordial Treasure.

Why was it appearing now?

Did this Primordial World truly have over twenty Primordial Treasures?

Wasn't that far too unbelievable?

No matter how he looked at it, he found it hard to accept.

At Golden Turtle Island's Biyou Palace, Sage Tongtian also rose abruptly from his cloud seat upon seeing this treasure.

He knew this treasure very well.

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

While the Four Swords of Zhuxian in his hands were number one in slaughter.

They were the very embodiment of spear and shield.

He hadn't expected this treasure to appear now.

Wasn't this far too early?

After all, this treasure was a Primordial Treasure.

And now the Chaos Bell had shown up...

Didn't that mean his Four Swords of Zhuxian would also appear soon?

If so, would his Four Swords of Zhuxian not even rank in the top twenty?

Master Tongtian's expression turned extremely grim.

If that were truly the case, it would be nothing short of a disaster for them, the sages.

The Primordial World concealed at least twenty-odd Innate Treasures...

What a terrifying existence that was?

Within the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun likewise shot to his feet.

His gaze locked tightly onto the Chaos Bell in the sky.

The Chaos Bell had appeared...

Did that mean his Pangu Banner would also appear soon?

He naturally understood what this signified.

Many great powers of the Primordial World were stirred to excitement in that moment.

The Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had all finished ranking.

The next rankings would be the existence of Innate Treasures...

The endless purple qi soon evolved into Grand Dao Script.

["Treasure Ranking, twenty-third place: Chaos Bell. Innate Treasure. The Chaos Bell holds boundless mystery and infinite creation. It can freeze time, suppress space, rebound any divine weapon or treasure's attack, and ignore all damage from divine powers and spells. It integrates offense and defense into one; when worn atop the head, one stands undefeated. Its bell tolls vast and mighty, the cosmos resplendent, heaven and earth losing color, the universe shaken. Master: Taiyi!"]

"As expected, the Innate Treasure Chaos Bell only ranks twenty-third."

"That means from the twenty-third place onward, at the very least, they are all Innate Treasures..."

"The Primordial World still hides over twenty Innate Treasures..."

"Thinking about it is really damn terrifying..."

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

"The Chaos Bell, which I originally thought could take the top spot, has appeared this early... Isn't this just a total rip-off?"

"What in the world are the ones ranked higher?"

"It's truly unimaginable..."

All across the Primordial World's sky, all sorts of chaotic voices rang out without end.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the next treasure.

Though only a brief moment had passed, everyone felt as if a year had dragged by.

Finally, the purple-gold qi that filled the heavens began to seethe once more.

Another treasure manifested...

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