Now That's a Rich Dog

Inside Hongjun's cave dwelling.

Looking at Xuan Yi beside him, and the branches of the Law of Space left by Yang Mei within Xuan Yi's body, Hongjun appeared somewhat helpless.

"Fine, your father will lend you a hand."

Yang Mei had already left such a grand gift for this child; it wouldn't do if he didn't show some acknowledgment.

Hongjun waved his hand, and countless rare heavenly treasures appeared: Peaches of Immortality, Immortal Apricots, and so on.

"Absorb these, and transform as soon as possible. Your father will protect you."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi stopped lingering and began circulating his cultivation technique to absorb the spiritual energy from these heavenly treasures.

It turned out the Primordial Chaos Bead contained a cultivation method called Primordial Chaos Grand Unity.

According to this cultivation method, a Mystic Immortal would possess combat power equivalent to a Saint in the Primordial World, a Golden Immortal would be equivalent to the Heavenly Dao, and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could contend with the Great Dao. A Grand Unity Golden Immortal, moreover, would be on par with Primordial Chaos.

The realms were divided into: Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, and Saint, each further divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages.

As the heavenly treasures were consumed, the Primordial Chaos Bead emitted an incredibly profound Dao light, stabilizing its previously declining grade.

"Next is transformation."

"Boom!"

A sudden, thunderous sound erupted, and an immensely powerful pressure directly bloomed from the Primordial Chaos Bead.

The originally hazy bead transformed into a man radiating Dao light all over his body.

This man was incredibly handsome, exuding immeasurable Dao light, with a vertical line between his brows that was exceedingly mysterious.

Carefully sensing his own condition, his current realm was early Earth Immortal, equivalent to early Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the Primordial World, and far more powerful than ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

The vertical line between his brows was a divine ability born from merging with a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

This divine ability was the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, capable of condensing the Primordial World's most powerful lightning force.

His physical body, due to the Primordial Chaos Bead, had reached the level of a Houtian Supreme Treasure; ordinary Quasi-Saint powerhouses couldn't harm him.

"Daddy."

Xuan Yi, now able to speak, shamelessly began calling him father.

"Hahaha."

"My son, come let your father have a look."

The feeling of blood connection made Hongjun's heart instantly bloom with joy.

"Strange?"

"After absorbing so many heavenly treasures, why is he only at the Earth Immortal realm, yet his physical body is so incredibly tough?"

Looking at Xuan Yi before him, Hongjun was very puzzled.

"Daddy, your son inherited the cultivation method within the Primordial Chaos Bead. The Earth Immortal realm is already equivalent to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but this cultivation method can only be cultivated by your son."

Perhaps sensing Hongjun's confusion, Xuan Yi spoke to answer him.

"So that's how it is."

"What?"

"Your true form is the Primordial Chaos Bead."

Because the Primordial Chaos Bead had hidden functions of its own, Hongjun had thought it was just an ordinary Houtian Supreme Treasure.

As a great deity who survived the Primordial Chaos era, Hongjun naturally knew of the Primordial Chaos Bead, but he harbored no greedy thoughts. After all, it had already transformed, and it was his own child.

"Good, good, good."

"My son, with such origins, you will surely surpass your father in the future."

Seeing his child's high talent, the old father was very pleased.

"You have the inheritance of the Primordial Chaos Bead, so my cultivation method is not worth showing off.

However, you are my, Hongjun's, son. You must have treasures that match your status."

With that, Hongjun began taking out spiritual treasures.

"This is the Qiankun Cauldron, a Xiantian Supreme Treasure, capable of transforming Houtian into Xiantian, its primary function is creation."

"This is the Taixu Armor, a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, its primary function is defense."

"This is the Yin-Yang Mirror, a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, capable of observing all things in the world and trapping and killing."

"This is the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, no, no, this is still useful."

"This is the God-Slaying Spear, its primary function is killing, but due to a great battle with Luohu, its grade has dropped to top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, yet it can still wound Saints.

It has a connection with you, so I shall bestow it upon you as well."

After all, Xuan Yi also had Luohu's bloodline, so giving the God-Slaying Spear to Xuan Yi could be considered him carrying on his father's legacy.

"Hehe, thank you, Father."

Hongjun truly lived up to his reputation as the wealthiest patron in the Primordial World, arming Xuan Yi to the teeth.

"Xuan Yi, go and refine these spiritual treasures.

Your father needs to go and tend to the injuries left by the great battle."

With that, Hongjun vanished.

"Sigh, this old man runs off just like that. Where should I go now?"

Xuan Yi didn't overthink it. He sat cross-legged and began refining the spiritual treasures.

"Whoa, what's going on?"

Xuan Yi, who had planned to spend thousands of years refining the spiritual treasures, couldn't help but curse.

It turned out that Xuan Yi had just infused his own magical power into the Taixu Armor. He had expected it to be a difficult process.

To his surprise, the Taixu Armor accepted it without hesitation, even appearing to be overjoyed.

The same was true for the Xiantian Supreme Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron.

This left Xuan Yi utterly bewildered.

Could it be because my true form is the Primordial Chaos Bead? Are these spiritual treasures like subordinates meeting their boss, willingly submitting?

"Forget it, I'll just cultivate," Xuan Yi decided.

As he spoke, Xuan Yi circulated the Primordial Chaos Grand Unity technique and began to cultivate. Heavenly spiritual energy instantly gathered above Xuan Yi's head. The concentration of spiritual energy was so dense it was almost liquid.

Under the enhancement of the Primordial Chaos Grand Unity cultivation method, the spiritual energy in the world surged into Xuan Yi's body. Hongjun, who was in seclusion, looked at the vortex formed by the spiritual energy tide around Jade Capital Mountain and couldn't help but gasp.

"This cultivation speed is too terrifying. Fortunately, he is my child. Otherwise, I would have to eliminate him no matter what."

After much thought, Hongjun made a decision: no matter how difficult it was, Xuan Yi must stay by his side. Yang Mei, who had fled, and Luohu from the Outer Demonic Realm, should not even think about snatching Xuan Yi away from him.

Meanwhile, the pitiable Luohu was still slumbering in the Outer Demonic Realm, completely unaware that his blood relative had appeared in the Primordial World.

Hongjun's injuries were originally minor, and in such a dense spiritual energy vortex, his wounds were also recovering at a terrifying rate. In just a few months, Hongjun's injuries were completely healed.

"Heavenly Dao, are you there?"

After recovering from his injuries, Hongjun began to call out to the Heavenly Dao.

"Jade Disc of Creation, appear!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao did not respond for a long time, Hongjun knew that it was still asleep. Only the Jade Disc of Creation, which shared the same origin as the Heavenly Dao, could awaken it.

Hongjun formed a series of profound hand seals. The Jade Disc of Creation above his head instantly emitted waves of Dao light, finally awakening the slumbering Heavenly Dao.

"Hongjun, Luohu has been eliminated. From now on, you will be the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao. You will now diligently comprehend the Jade Disc of Creation. When the three lectures are concluded, it will be the day you merge with the Dao."

The awakened Heavenly Dao, sensing that Luohu had been eliminated, immediately bound the hardworking Hongjun as its subordinate.

"Holy crap!"

The Heavenly Dao, which had no emotions whatsoever, was so shocked that it directly swore.

"What... what is this? How can he possess an aura that is a missing piece of mine, and even merged with it?

No, and there's also Hongjun's bloodline power, Yang Mei, Luohu? Hongjun, what have you done?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun smiled wryly and told the Heavenly Dao the entire story.
