Innate Leaky Qi Sacred Body, System is Not Human

Deposit your brains at the entrance; let us discard our useless minds and start enjoying the thrill.

Lin Dong felt he was perhaps the unluckiest transmigrator in history.

Others transmigrated as royalty or generals, or possessed heaven-defying talents; at the very least, they started with a broken engagement and a grandfather figure in their ring. And him? He closed his eyes and opened them to find that he, a modern youth who stayed up late reading novels, had become a... well, barely an "Innate Being" inside a natural barrier at the foot of Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World.

The reason he was "barely" one was that his foundation was outrageously poor.

When the Primordial World first opened, the Innate Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was so dense it was almost solid. Innate Gods and Demons would inhale and exhale rivers and seas of energy, their cultivation progressing a thousand miles a day. But he, Lin Dong, would toil to draw in ten portions of Innate Spiritual Energy, only for nine to leak out from his Yongquan acupoint after entering through his Baihui acupoint. In the end, less than one-tenth remained in his dantian!

Dozens of epochs of bitter cultivation! He had progressed from ignorance to Refining Essence into Qi, then to Refining Qi into Spirit, only to get stuck at the stage of Refining Spirit into Void, unable to advance even an inch. No matter how hard he tried, the spiritual energy he inhaled was like air escaping a punctured ball; it could never be stored, let alone allow him to Refine Void into Dao and survive the legendary Immortal-Mortal Tribulation to transform his True Qi into immortal power.

"Innate Leaky Qi Sacred Body... bah!" Lin Dong looked at his stagnant cultivation, wanting to cry but having no tears. Others had Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and Five Qi Returning to the Origin, while he was "leaking wind and qi, achieving nothing." Compared to those Innate Gods and Demons who could summon wind and rain or move mountains and seas at will, he wasn't even a bottom-tier existence.

Just as Lin Dong was staring at the majestic, heaven-supporting sight of Mount Buzhou, lamenting his abysmal foundation and preparing to give up and wait for some great power to pass by and clear him away like a weed, a voice rang out in his mind without warning.

[Ding! Detected the host's strong potential for being "unscrupulous" and a willingness to give up; binding requirements met. The "Unscrupulous System" is officially activated!]

"Who?" Lin Dong jumped, his Primordial Spirit instantly scanning his surroundings, but he found nothing.

[Dear, stop looking. This system is deep within your true spirit~] The voice carried an indescribable... sleaziness?

"System?!" Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then overcome with wild joy! The essential golden finger for a transmigrator! Although the name sounded a bit improper, it was better than nothing!

"System, what functions do you have? Is there a newbie gift pack? Can you solve my leaking problem?" Lin Dong asked impatiently.

[Of course! This system specializes in curing all kinds of defiance and helping the host walk the broad road of being "unscrupulous"! The newbie gift pack has been issued; please check it! Hint: The rewards are related to the host's mindset upon binding. The sooner you recognize the essence of being "unscrupulous," the more generous the rewards will be~]

Lin Dong couldn't even be bothered to complain about the system's weird sense of humor. He silently recited in his heart: "Open the newbie gift pack!"

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining:

1. Primordial Grade Foundation: Primordial Dao Body (After fusion, max affinity with spiritual energy, max cultivation speed, max comprehension, comes with Primordial Dao Rhyme, immune to all laws... in short, you will never leak again!)

2. Pangu's Essence Blood x 12 drops (Contains supreme power and insights into the creation of the world; after refining, it can reshape the physical body and grant partial Pangu characteristics.)

3. Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art x 1 (Primordial grade technique, points directly to the Great Dao, dual cultivation of body and Primordial Spirit, infinite power.)

4. Heavenly Secret Concealment Mask x 1 (Level: ???. Can transform into any being's form and aura; cannot be seen through unless the observer is two major realms higher than the host.)]

Looking at the rewards displayed on the virtual light screen, Lin Dong felt his breath hitch.

Primordial Dao Body! Pangu's Essence Blood! A Primordial grade technique! And this mask of unknown level... this newbie gift pack was absurdly luxurious!

After the initial ecstasy, a strong urge to complain surged in his heart.

"Wait... System, this Pangu's Essence Blood... twelve drops?" Lin Dong's mouth twitched. "I remember in Primordial World legends, Great God Pangu transformed into all things, and his twelve drops of essence blood merged with Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi to become the Twelve Ancestral Witches? Where did these twelve drops... come from? You didn't drain the yet-to-be-born Ancestral Witches to death, did you?"

[Pfft~] The system let out a disdainful scoff. [Host, you're overthinking it. Ancestral Witches are Ancestral Witches, and essence blood is essence blood. This system has Vast Divine Abilities; what's wrong with stealing... ahem, extracting a few drops? Don't worry about where it came from; just use it. Why so much nonsense? Great God Pangu has plenty in stock!]

Lin Dong: "..." I don't believe a word of that! This system is definitely suspicious! If he weren't afraid it would take back the rewards, Lin Dong would want to study how to dig this thing out of his true spirit and dismantle it right now!

Suppressing the urge to dismantle the system, Lin Dong turned his gaze to the mask, which looked simple and unadorned yet radiated a mysterious aura.

[Heavenly Secret Concealment Mask]: After wearing, one can transform form and simulate aura at will; karma remains hidden, and heavenly secrets are difficult to predict. Unless the cultivation level exceeds the host by two major realms, there is absolutely no possibility of being seen through. (Current host realm: Refining Spirit into Void; mask's effective concealment limit: late stage of Refining Void into Dao / peak of Earthly Immortal.)

Good stuff! It was a supreme tool for killing and looting... ah no, for traveling the Primordial World and protecting oneself!

"Fuse with the Primordial Dao Body! Cultivate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art!" Lin Dong didn't hesitate.

In an instant, an indescribable, vast Dao Rhyme descended from the void, enveloping him completely. He felt his body transform into a bottomless pit, crazily devouring the surrounding Innate Spiritual Energy. It was no longer the slow absorption and severe leakage of the crude techniques he had inherited before, but a whale-like gulping! The spiritual energy around Mount Buzhou even formed a massive vortex, pouring into him.

His body was being reshaped; his bones became like jade, his blood like gold, his meridians like a galaxy, and every cell contained majestic vitality and Dao Power. The "leaking" sensation that had plagued him for dozens of epochs vanished completely, replaced by a sense of perfect harmony with the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Following this, the twelve drops of dark-gold blood, radiating a terrifying aura as if they contained small worlds, merged into his newly born Primordial Dao Body. A massive force exploded, tearing him apart and reshaping him. The intense pain almost made him faint, but the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art operated on its own, guiding this power of creation to temper every inch of his flesh and his Primordial Spirit.

Time lost its meaning in this deep seclusion.

Eighty-one million years passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lin Dong opened his eyes again, scenes of the Primordial World opening and galaxies rotating flashed through his pupils. Feeling the majestic magic power surging like a great river and condensing like mercury within him, an unprecedented sense of power filled his heart.

Forget the Immortal-Mortal Tribulation; I'm directly at the late stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

Relying on the Primordial Dao Body, Pangu's Essence Blood, and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art, he had jumped from Refining Spirit into Void, bypassing Refining Void into Dao, Earthly Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, and Profound Immortal, reaching the late stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal! In the early Primordial World, where time was counted in epochs, this was an incredible miracle!

"Is this... the feeling of powerful strength?" Lin Dong clenched his fist, causing the space to emit a faint hum. His Primordial Spirit scanned outward, expanding more than ten thousand times wider than before; the majesty of Mount Buzhou and the vastness of the Primordial World were all "in his eyes."

Power brings ambition. Since he possessed a Primordial grade foundation and a technique pointing directly to the Great Dao, then attaining the Dao of the Origin and transcending heaven and earth was no longer an unreachable dream.

He began to ponder his future path to the Dao.

The method of Slaying the Three Corpses? Dao Ancestor Hongjun's path, which supposedly required spiritual treasures of the same origin to host the Three Corpses, and merging them in the end was fraught with difficulties and significant hidden dangers. The Dao of Merit? Becoming a Sage through Heavenly Dao Merit seemed like a shortcut, but it was deeply constrained by the Heavenly Dao, making one a "Heavenly Dao Sage" without true freedom. The Dao of Incense and Vow Power? Relying on the faith of all living beings meant the sage position remained as long as the faith did, but it was equally restrictive and prone to backlash from the faith.

"Then, what remains is the Dao of Strength and the elusive Dao of Worlds," Lin Dong mused.

The Dao of Strength, emulating Pangu, used absolute power to break the shackles of heaven and earth to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, the strongest sage, free and unfettered, not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. But the difficulty was the greatest; even Pangu failed (though he succeeded, he exhausted his strength and perished).

The Dao of Worlds involved opening up a true Great Thousand World within or outside one's body, using the power of the world to feed back into oneself, becoming a World Lord with a status equal to or even exceeding a Heavenly Dao Sage. This method was profound and had extremely high requirements for comprehension, opportunity, and a carrier.

After much deliberation, a flash of determination crossed Lin Dong's eyes.

"Since I have the Primordial Dao Body, carry Pangu's Essence Blood, and cultivate the Primordial Profound Art, I should have the spirit to encompass the universe and break all laws with force! I choose the path of the Dao of Strength!"

Since the path was set and constant seclusion could no longer provide rapid improvement, it was time to leave seclusion, travel the vast Primordial World, collect rare treasures, and meet those legendary great powers.

However, going out to cause trouble... ah no, to travel, one needed a resounding name.

"Dongyunzi? No, no, too tacky, sounds like a roadside fortune teller."

"Daoist Taichu? No, that doesn't capture my playful, free-spirited nature of wandering through the mortal world."

"Xuan Wazi? Mysterious and profound, yet mischievous and troublesome... ah, this is the one!" Lin Dong clapped his hands and chuckled, "Without this 'Wazi' character, how would the living beings of the Primordial World know that I am the prankster they love to hate, the ultimate troll?"

"From this day forth, I am—Xuan Wazi!"

Having settled on his Daoist name, our fellow Daoist Xuan Wazi smoothed out his robes, which were devoid of any dust, a playful smirk of anticipation on his face as he stepped out of the natural barrier that had protected him for dozens of Yuan eras and eight hundred and ten thousand years.

Primordial World, are you ready? Xuan Wazi, who is Not Being a Person, has arrived!
