Innate Leaky Qi Sacred Body, System is Not Human

Brain storage. Let's toss out our useless brains and enjoy the ride.

Lin Dong felt that he was probably the unluckiest transmigrator in history.

Other people transmigrated into princes and nobles, or were blessed with extraordinary talent. Even at their worst, they started with a broken engagement and an old grandpa in their ring. As for him? The moment he closed and opened his eyes, he went from a modern young man staying up late to read novels to... well, something that could barely count as an "Innate Being" inside a natural restriction at the foot of Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World.

The reason he could only barely count was that his foundation was atrociously bad.

At the dawn of the Primordial World, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so dense it practically could not disperse. With every breath, the Innate Gods and Demons drew in rivers and seas of spiritual energy, advancing at a tremendous pace. Yet when Lin Dong painstakingly gathered ten portions of Innate Spiritual Energy, one portion entered through the Baihui acupoint atop his head, while nine leaked out through the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his feet. Less than one-tenth ultimately remained in his dantian!

After dozens of epochs of arduous cultivation, he had gone from ignorant and confused to Refining Essence into Qi, then Refining Qi into Spirit, only to become stuck at Refining Spirit into Void, unable to advance another inch. No matter how hard he tried, the spiritual energy he absorbed was like air in a punctured ball—it simply would not stay inside him. Forget Refining Void into Dao, passing the legendary Immortal-Mortal Tribulation, and transforming True Qi into immortal power.

"Innate Leaky Qi Sacred Body... pfft!" Lin Dong looked at his nearly stagnant cultivation and felt like crying without tears. Others achieved Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and Five Qi Returning to the Origin; he got "leaking air and qi, accomplishing nothing." Compared to those Innate Gods and Demons who could summon wind and rain or move mountains and fill seas at will, he did not even qualify as the weakest of weaklings.

Just as Lin Dong gazed at Mount Buzhou's majestic, towering grandeur that upheld heaven and earth, lamenting how unbelievably terrible his foundation was and preparing to give up and lie flat until some great expert passed by and cleared him away like a weed, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind without warning.

[ Ding! Detected the host's strong potential for "not being a person" and willingness to give up. Binding requirements fulfilled. The "Unscrupulous System" has officially activated! ]

"Who?" Lin Dong jolted, his divine sense instantly sweeping through his entire body, yet finding nothing.

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

"A system?!" Lin Dong froze for a moment before bursting into delight. A transmigrator's essential cheat! Although the name sounded rather improper, it was still better than having nothing!

"System, what can you do? Do you have a beginner's gift pack? Can you solve my leaking problem?" Lin Dong asked impatiently.

[ Of course! This system specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction and helping the host walk the broad road of "not being a person"! The beginner's gift pack has been issued. Please claim it! Reminder: the gift pack rewards are related to the host's bound mentality. The sooner you recognize the essence of "not being a person," the more generous the rewards will be~ ]

Lin Dong could not be bothered to complain about the system's twisted sense of humor. He silently said, "Open the beginner's gift pack!"

[ Congratulations, host, on obtaining:

1. Primordial Grade Foundation: Primordial Dao Body (After fusion, spiritual energy affinity MAX, cultivation speed MAX, comprehension MAX. Comes with Primordial Dao Rhyme and is immune to all techniques... In short, you will never leak qi again!)

2. Pangu's Essence Blood ×12 drops (Contains supreme power and insights into the creation of heaven. After refinement, it can reshape the physical body and grant some of Pangu's traits.)

3. Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art ×1 (A Primordial Grade cultivation art that points directly to the Great Dao. It cultivates both body and primordial spirit, and possesses boundless power.)

4. Heavenly Secret Concealment Mask ×1 (Grade: ???. Can transform into any living being and imitate any aura. Those less than two major realms above the host cannot see through it.) ]

Looking at the rewards displayed on the virtual screen before him, Lin Dong felt as though he had stopped breathing.

Primordial Dao Body! Pangu's Essence Blood! A Primordial Grade cultivation art! And a mask whose grade could not even be determined... This beginner's gift pack was outrageously luxurious!

After the wild joy came an overwhelming urge to complain.

"Wait... System, these twelve drops of Pangu's Essence Blood?" Lin Dong's lips twitched. "As I recall, in the legends of the Primordial World, Great God Pangu transformed into all things after his death, and twelve drops of his essence blood merged with Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi to become the Twelve Ancestral Witches, right? Where did your twelve drops come from? You did not drain the unborn Ancestral Witches to death, did you?"

[ Hah~ ] The system gave a disdainful snort. [ Host, you are overthinking it. The Ancestral Witches are the Ancestral Witches, and essence blood is essence blood. This system has Vast Divine Abilities. What is wrong with stealing... cough, cough, extracting a few drops of essence blood? Why do you care where it came from? If I give it to you, use it. Why so much nonsense? Great God Pangu's reserves are abundant! ]

Lin Dong: "..." Yeah, right. As if I'd believe that! There is definitely something wrong with this system! If he were not afraid it would take back the rewards, Lin Dong would already be figuring out how to dig this thing out of his true spirit and dismantle it!

Suppressing the urge to dismantle the system, Lin Dong turned his attention to the mask, which looked plain and unadorned yet exuded a mysterious aura.

[Heavenly Secret Concealment Mask]: Once worn, it can freely alter the wearer's form and imitate any aura. Karma remains hidden, and heavenly secrets cannot be divined. Unless one's cultivation exceeds the host's by two major realms, there is absolutely no possibility of seeing through it. (Current host realm: Refining Spirit into Void. Effective concealment limit: late-stage Refining Void into Dao / peak Earth Immortal.)

Good stuff! It was practically the ultimate tool for murder and robbery... ahem, no, for traveling through the Primordial World and protecting oneself!

"Fuse the Primordial Dao Body! Cultivate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art!" Lin Dong no longer hesitated.

In an instant, an indescribably vast Dao Rhyme descended from the void and enveloped him completely. He felt as though his body had become a bottomless abyss, madly devouring the surrounding Innate Spiritual Energy. No longer did he slowly absorb spiritual energy with the crude cultivation method inherited by his soul before, suffering massive losses along the way. Instead, he devoured it like a whale swallowing the sea! The spiritual energy around Mount Buzhou even formed an enormous vortex as it poured into him.

His body was being remade. His bones became like jade, his blood like gold, his meridians like rivers of stars. Every cell contained surging vitality and Dao Power. The sensation of "leaking qi" that had plagued him for dozens of epochs vanished completely, replaced by a seamless sense of harmony with the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Immediately afterward, twelve drops of dark golden blood radiating terrifying auras, each seemingly containing a tiny world, merged into his newly formed Primordial Dao Body. Vast power exploded within him, tearing him apart before remaking him. The agonizing pain nearly made him faint, but the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art circulated on its own, guiding that heaven-opening power to temper every inch of his flesh, blood, and primordial spirit.

Time lost all meaning during this deep seclusion.

Eight hundred and ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lin Dong opened his eyes again, a vision of primordial chaos opening and galaxies revolving seemed to flash through them. Feeling the immense dharma power coursing through his body like mighty rivers, dense and condensed like liquid mercury, an unprecedented sense of strength filled his heart.

What Immortal-Mortal Tribulation? I went straight to the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

With the Primordial Dao Body, Pangu's Essence Blood, and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Profound Art, he had leaped from Refining Spirit into Void, crossed Refining Void into Dao, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, and Profound Immortal, and reached the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal in one bound! In the early Primordial World, where time was measured in epochs, this was simply an unimaginable miracle!

"So this is... what it feels like to possess great power?" Lin Dong clenched his fist, and space itself let out a faint hum. His divine sense stretched out, becoming more than ten thousand times broader than before. Mount Buzhou's grandeur and the vast desolation of the Primordial World were all laid bare before his "eyes."

Power brought ambition. Since he possessed a Primordial Grade Foundation and a cultivation art that pointed directly toward the Great Dao, attaining the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and transcending heaven and earth were no longer unattainable dreams.

He began to consider his future path to attaining the Dao.

The method of severing the Three Corpses? That was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's path. It was said that one needed spiritual treasures of the same origin to house the Three Corpses, and that merging them into one at the end was extremely difficult, with no small number of hidden dangers. Dao of Merit? One could become a sage through Heavenly Dao Merit. It seemed like a shortcut, but it left one under the deepest control of the Heavenly Dao, making one a Heavenly Dao Sage without true freedom. The path of Incense and Vow Power? It relied on the faith of all living beings. As long as faith endured, one's sacred position would not fall, but it was likewise immensely restrictive and easily invited backlash from faith.

"Then all that remains is the Dao of Strength and that ethereal Dao of Worlds," Lin Dong murmured.

The Dao of Strength imitated Pangu, using absolute power to shatter the shackles of heaven and earth and attain the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. It was the path of the strongest sage, free and unfettered, beyond the Heavenly Dao's jurisdiction. Yet it was also the most difficult path. Even Pangu had failed at it—though he had succeeded, he had also exhausted himself and perished.

The Dao of Worlds involved opening a true greater world within or outside one's body, allowing the power of that world to nourish oneself in return, becoming the lord of a world with a status equal to or even surpassing that of a Heavenly Dao Sage. This path was profound and mysterious, demanding extraordinarily high comprehension, opportunities, and a suitable vessel.

After thinking it over again and again, a trace of determination flashed through Lin Dong's eyes.

"Since I possess the Primordial Dao Body, have inherited Pangu's Essence Blood, and cultivate a primordial cultivation art, I should have the spirit to encompass the universe and shatter all techniques with strength! I choose the Dao of Strength!"

Now that his path had been decided, continuing to cultivate in seclusion would not rapidly improve his strength. It was time to leave seclusion, travel through the boundless Primordial World, collect heavenly treasures, and meet those legendary great experts.

However, if he was going out to cause trouble... ahem, to travel, he needed a resounding name.

"Dongyunzi? No, no, too vulgar. It sounds like a fortune-teller by the roadside."

"Daoist Taichu? No, it does not show this humble Daoist's mischievous, carefree nature."

"Xuan Wazi? Profound beyond profundity, mischievous and troublesome... Hey, that is good!" Lin Dong clapped his hands and laughed. "Without the word 'mischievous,' how would the countless beings of the Primordial World know that I am the kind of sneaky troublemaker who loves pranks and makes people both love and hate me?"

"From this day onward, I shall be—Xuan Wazi!"

Having chosen his Daoist title, Daoist Xuan Wazi straightened his dustless robes, wore an eager, mischievous smile, and took a single step out of the natural restriction that had protected him for dozens of epochs and another eight hundred and ten thousand years.

Primordial World, are you ready? Xuan Wazi, who was not being a person, had arrived!
