With the Chaos Bell by his side, Lu Ya felt a bit more confident.

Among the three Innate Supreme Treasures, the Pangu Banner had sharp offense, the Taiji Diagram unparalleled defense, while the Chaos Bell was both offensive and defensive.

However, from another perspective, the Chaos Bell's offense couldn't match the Pangu Banner, and its defense couldn't match the Taiji Diagram, making it somewhat awkward.

Furthermore, due to insufficient Primordial Spirit Cultivation, he hadn't completely refined the Chaos Bell.

Currently, out of the Chaos Bell's forty-nine innate restrictions, less than half had been refined.

Stepping into this chaotic Primordial Great Array, his vision immediately turned a hazy gray.

It was a violent aura evolved from Chaos Primordial Qi, far less dangerous than the Outer Chaos.

Lu Ya was being overly cautious, not needing the Chaos Bell at all.

Auspicious Cloud appeared above Lu Ya's Mud Pill Palace, with Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, and profound light shielding him completely.

The surrounding violent aura couldn't get close.

He strolled through the array as if walking in a garden.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed. Lu Ya's expression shifted, and he rode a beam of light towards it.

After a while, Lu Ya steadied himself, gazing at the treasure light not far away.

Mysterious pale purple primordial energy coiled around an object, which turned out to be a jade-green ruler.

Its innate spiritual light was dazzling, profound Dao Charm flowed, and auspicious clouds and colorful rays floated, its light and shadow shimmering, truly extraordinary.

With just one glance, Lu Ya recognized it as an Innate Spiritual Treasure, likely of high grade.

At this moment, a wisp of the mysterious pale purple primordial energy transformed into a large amount of Chaos Primordial Qi.

"This..." Lu Ya's eyes widened.

It was evident that this pale purple primordial energy was of a higher level than Chaos Primordial Qi.

Chaos Primordial Qi was of a higher level than Innate Spiritual Qi, thus, a wisp of Chaos Primordial Qi could transform into a large amount of Innate Spiritual Qi.

Innate Spiritual Qi was of a higher level than Postnatal Spiritual Qi, so a wisp could transform into a large amount of Postnatal Spiritual Qi.

Now, the mysterious primordial energy that could transform a wisp into a large amount of Chaos Primordial Qi was right before Lu Ya's eyes, making him unable to remain calm.

After a moment of thought, Lu Ya had a guess.

It must be Primordial Qi.

The so-called Primordial was before the division of heaven and earth, when time and space did not exist, it was the origin of all concepts and the primordial state of all time and space.

It's easy to confuse Primordial and Chaos, but there is still a difference.

Primordial is generally an 'era,' while Chaos is a 'state.'

Before Pangu's Creation was the 'Primordial Era,' and the state at that time was 'Chaos.'

As the saying goes, "Before Chaos, heaven and earth were in disarray, vast and boundless, unseen by anyone; since Pangu broke the Primordial, creation began, distinguishing the clear from the turbid."

As for Primordial Qi, it can be seen as Chaos Primordial Qi containing the 'Great Dao.'

By constructing the 'Great Dao' with Dao Charm and merging it with Chaos Primordial Qi, Primordial Qi can be evolved.

No wonder it would not be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

Chaos Primordial Qi in the Primordial Era would transform into Innate Spiritual Qi, let alone Primordial Qi, which was of a higher level than Chaos Primordial Qi?

If it weren't for being enshrined in an Innate Spiritual Treasure, this mass of Primordial Qi would not have existed until now.

Looking at the Innate Spiritual Treasure again, it hadn't fully gestated yet, but it was close.

Taking a step forward, he reached the spiritual treasure and grasped it.

His divine sense probed out.

The Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, currently had forty-three innate restrictions.

When this treasure is fully gestated, it will have forty-four innate restrictions.

However, if it lost the Primordial Qi, it would only be the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and its grade would drop to High-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

This spiritual treasure also had a profound mystery: for example, it could absorb Postnatal Spiritual Qi and convert it into Innate Spiritual Qi, and then convert the Innate Spiritual Qi into Chaos Primordial Qi.

When a large amount of Chaos Primordial Qi integrates with the Primordial Qi, the grade of this treasure can be improved.

It wouldn't be difficult to upgrade it to at least forty-eight innate restrictions.

But upgrading it to an Innate Supreme Treasure would be difficult.

After all, even converting Postnatal Spiritual Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi is not easy; few in the Primordial Era could achieve this.

As for converting Innate Spiritual Qi into Chaos Primordial Qi, it's likely no one currently has the means.

This shows the power of the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

Of course, no matter how good a Magic Treasure is, it depends on the user.

Without Great Magic Power, even with the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler in hand, it would be difficult to convert Postnatal Spiritual Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi.

"This item is good, but unfortunately, it is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao," Lu Ya said with great helplessness.

It all came down to the 'Primordial Qi'.

It seemed the best method was to use it for cultivation.

Absorb the Primordial Qi and refine it.

This could increase magic power and comprehending the 'Great Dao' could advance Dao Cultivation, a win-win.

However, by refining the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, one could also comprehend the 'Great Dao' contained within the Primordial Qi.

The current problem was that the Heavenly Dao did not permit the existence of Primordial Qi.

How could this be resolved?

Sealing it on the Sun Star was an option.

But to possess a treasure and be unable to use it, wouldn't that be frustrating?

After much thought, Lu Ya could only think of one method: Merit.

Merit could solve it, but it would require a constant consumption of Merit.

Fortunately, Lu Yang received Merit income daily, so it wasn't a major issue.

On the Sun Star, a ball of Merit wrapped around the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

Sensing the consumption of Merit, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief as it was less than he had imagined.

By consuming the Merit earned these past few days, the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler could be nurtured.

If it were to naturally nurture, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to be ready.

Next was to split his divine sense and refine the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

While refining the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, Lu Yang also had an idea: to use the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler as a medium to guide the Outer Chaos Qi and then transform it into Innate Spiritual Qi.

This would benefit the Primordial Era, which would also be a great merit.

In comparison, the small amount of Merit consumed for the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler was insignificant.

Of course, this action would cause quite a stir, and the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler might be exposed.

Careful consideration was still needed.

This was not something to be done on a whim.

First, the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler had to be completely refined.

Since it was to be used as a medium, complete refinement was crucial.

How to conceal it was also very important.

Deceiving the Ancestor Dragon and Rahula was not easy.

It was only possible on the Sun Star.

Speaking of which, no one in the Primordial Era had seen through Lu Ya being an avatar. On one hand, the Golden Crow possessed the Origin of the Sun Star, coupled with the Sun Star's immense magic power for concealment, and Merit also played a role.

But just because no one could see through it now, didn't mean it would be the same in the future.

Grand Unity cultivators couldn't see through it, but what about Quasi-Sages? And Sages?

Actually, Lu Yang wasn't afraid of others seeing through it.

If they realized Lu Ya was just an avatar, it would make them deeply wary of the true body behind the scenes.

The unknown was the most terrifying.

Therefore, it wasn't that the Golden Crow avatar couldn't be exposed, but rather that once exposed, it would be quite troublesome.

The worst-case scenario would only be Lu Yang's situation being revealed.

So what if they knew the Sun Star was inhabited by a living being?

Seal the Sun Star?

Destroy the Sun Star?

The Sun was a part of the Primordial Era, and an extremely important one at that.

It could even be said that Lu Yang and the Heavenly Dao shared a common destiny.

Under these circumstances, what was Lu Yang afraid of?

Well, there was something he was afraid of.

He was afraid of boredom.

He was afraid of the Immeasurable Calamity.

When the Immeasurable Calamity arrived, all things in heaven and earth would return to Chaos, including the Sun Star.

After teleporting the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to the Sun Star, Lu Ya continued his travels on Buzhou Mountain.

The search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures also continued.

After passing through the Gale Layer, they arrived at the Thunder-Fire Layer.

Heavenly Thunder roared, its power coursing through the void, dense and abundant, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Heavenly Fire had transformed into vast seas of flame.

The violent power was enough to threaten True Immortals.

But with Lu Ya's current Cultivation, he could easily resist it with his Magic Power.

Due to the rampant Thunder and Fire, everything in sight was almost barren, with no flowers, grass, trees, or any birds or beasts.

His divine sense spread for hundreds of millions of miles, and he detected a deposit of Innate Profound Gold.

This was not the first time Lu Ya had sensed an Innate Grade mineral deposit on Buzhou Mountain. Besides Profound Gold, there was also Crimson Copper and Grand Unity Golden Crystal.

Innate Profound Gold was also a good material for artifact refining.

Lu Ya retracted his divine sense and went to mine.

Although he already had a considerable amount of Innate Profound Gold, one could never have too much of it.

"This Profound Gold deposit isn't large enough; it might not even yield a hundred billion tons of Innate Profound Gold," Lu Ya thought to himself as he mined.
