Prehistoric World. East Sea.
Somewhere in an unseen, unknown space stood a top-tier Blessed Land.
Innate Restrictions flowed like glittering stars, emanating an aura of perfect, unblemished chaos.
Upon the Boundary Stele of this Blessed Land were Great Dao Runes, clearly inscribed with the words: Fangzhang Immortal Island!
Immortal mist curled through Fangzhang Immortal Island. Dense Innate Spiritual Energy had condensed into liquid form, nourishing every corner of the island. Dazzling treasure light swirled and flowed with wondrous radiance. Verdant mountains rose layer upon layer, strange peaks standing in clusters, all shrouded beneath dreamlike immortal mist.
Spiritual roots covered the ground, while orchids and herbs swayed in the breeze.
Medicinal fragrance, treasure light, and immortal fog intertwined, creating a natural masterpiece of Creation—a sacred realm that seemed utterly removed from the mortal world.
"Damn it! Which bastard posted that there was a cosplay convention on the highway?!"
A furious, vulgar voice shattered the atmosphere of this immortal paradise.
Beside a lake radiating Three-colored Divine Light, a round Azure Pearl bounced wildly through the air in anger.
It darted about erratically.
"Wait... where am I?"
"No, where are my hands? Where are my feet? Where did my style go?"
"Don't tell me I was refined into a human pill?"
The angry voice was replaced by panic.
All those sounds came from the Azure Pearl.
Lin Cang was panicking.
Visibly panicking.
Even his azure surface had gone pale with fright.
At this moment, he had no hands, no feet, and no style. He had become a pearl floating in midair.
Although he had no eyes, Lin Cang could observe his surroundings from every angle without a single blind spot.
"I remember going to a cosplay convention on the highway to cosplay as a speed bump, and then I got hit by a truck..."
"Gasp!"
At that moment, Lin Cang felt a stabbing pain surge through his mind.
A flood of information about heaven and earth poured into him.
After a long while, Lin Cang understood what had happened.
He... had transmigrated!
And he had transmigrated into the Prehistoric World that every Great Han citizen knew about!
Not only that, he had become the Spiritual Treasure of the Martial God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming—the Sea Calming Pearl!
No.
More accurately, he was one of the twelve Sea Calming Pearls that had been lost outside and whose existence had never been confirmed.
It was said that there were thirty-six Sea Calming Pearls, and every single one was a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Twelve Sea Calming Pearls combined could become a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls combined could become a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.
And a complete set of thirty-six Sea Calming Pearls could rival an Innate Supreme Treasure!
"Gasp!"
"I'm not human anymore?!"
Lin Cang was a little lost.
He had transmigrated, only to stop being human?
But his most urgent task now was to undergo Form Transformation!
To cultivate an Innate Dao Body!
Otherwise, as a Spiritual Treasure, once he was discovered by a powerful living being, his only fate would be to be refined.
Fortunately, he was only a pearl, ranked as a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
It would not be too difficult for him to undergo Form Transformation.
But if he were a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, forget the hellish difficulty of Form Transformation itself—Heavenly Dao would never just sit back and watch him succeed.
Heavenly Dao: I will not allow such an overpowered living being to exist!
Just look at those Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots. They could forget about ever undergoing Form Transformation. The instant they showed any sign of it, they would attract Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation and be destroyed... or dismembered.
Lin Cang declared firmly, "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. My top priority now is Form Transformation!"
"I want to transform!"
"I want to be human!"
"I want style!"

Lin Cang immediately began comprehending his own origin.
The origin of the Sea Calming Pearl consisted of three aspects: Water of the Five Elements, space, and Creation.
The Prehistoric World accounts Lin Cang had read in his previous life mentioned that Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls later fell into Daoist Randeng's hands. Daoist Randeng later defected from the Chan Teach and went to the Western Teach, where he used the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls and the Qiankun Ruler in his possession to create and evolve twenty-four Myriad Heavens Worlds.
They were also known as the Twenty-Four Buddhist Kingdoms.
Therefore, it was only natural for the Sea Calming Pearls to possess the origins of space and Creation.
As Lin Cang comprehended his own origin, his true body followed the instinct of Form Transformation and began madly devouring the Innate Spiritual Energy within hundreds of millions of li!
The commotion was immense. A "sea" blotted out the sky, forming a vortex of spiritual energy that Lin Cang absorbed into his body.
The place where Lin Cang was located was beside a lake.
Beside him was a Boundless Lake that radiated Three Lights.
Its end could not be seen at a glance.
At the center of the Three-colored Lake, a flawless white lotus slowly bloomed, spewing treasure light. From the inside out, it radiated a pure aura capable of cleansing the world!
"That Little Pearl developed intelligence ahead of time?"
"Wonderful! At last, a Spiritual Treasure can keep me company and talk to me."
"But... what is that Little Pearl muttering about? What is style? Do I have it?"
If Lin Cang had been here, he would definitely have recognized the identity of this white lotus!
Legend had it that after Great God Pangu's Creation Green Lotus shattered, one mature lotus seed and four half-mature lotus seeds scattered throughout the Prehistoric World.
The mature lotus seed became the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus!
It ranked among Innate Supreme Treasures.
Later, it was discovered and divided by the Three Pure Ones.
It became three Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures: the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Qingping Sword, and the Coiled Dragon Crutch.
They respectively belonged to Yuanshi, Shangqing Tongtian, and Taiqing Laozi.
They would later become their Dao Proving Spiritual Treasures.
The other four half-mature lotus seeds became four lotus platforms.
The Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus of Merit was later bestowed upon Daoist Jieyin by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, becoming the Spiritual Treasure that Suppressed Destiny for the Western Teach.
The Twelve-grade Karma Red Lotus was Old Ancestor Minghe's accompanying Spiritual Treasure.
The Twelve-Petal World Destroying Black Lotus was the Spiritual Treasure beneath the seat of demon ancestor Rahu.
And the last was the Twelve-Petal World Purifying White Lotus.
All four lotus platforms were Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures!
It was said that the Twelve-Petal World Purifying White Lotus had never appeared in the world. So it had been hidden in a paradise like Fangzhang Immortal Island all along.
And it was not only the World Purifying White Lotus. The Three-colored Lake beneath it was also a top-tier heavenly treasure!
It was said to be the supreme healing medicine capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to White Bone: Three Lights Divine Water!
One had to know that even Bodhisattva Guanyin's Jade Purification Vase in later ages only contained a few drops of Three Lights Divine Water for appearances' sake.
Yet here, there was an entire lake of Three Lights Divine Water!
Converted into drops... that was a whole, whole lot of drops.
The World Purifying White Lotus drew Lin Cang over.
It carefully placed him within its soft, white lotus heart.
The Innate Spiritual Energy from the Three Lights Divine Water Lake also surged over, helping Lin Cang comprehend his origin and attain the Dao through Form Transformation!
Time passed endlessly, beyond counting.
The Prehistoric World did not count years. In the blink of an eye, seas turned into mulberry fields.
One Yuanhui passed.
129,600 years.
On this day, Innate Spiritual Energy gathered within Fangzhang Immortal Island. Dazzling radiance blossomed from within the World Purifying White Lotus. Ten thousand rays of rosy light shone forth, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and Yingluo condensed into pearls as an azure figure slowly took form.
An azure rune appeared between his brows, and he radiated an ancient Dao aura from within. Clad in a water-blue daoist robe, he slowly opened his eyes.
He radiated the aura of a Golden Immortal!
His every gesture contained supreme power.
In the Prehistoric World, Golden Immortal beings already possessed the ability to create worlds.
Perhaps Golden Immortals were mere cannon fodder in the Prehistoric World, but in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, they were absolutely figures on the level of Dao Ancestors.
At that moment, Lin Cang came to a realization.
Heaven and earth bestowed upon him a name: Cangyuan!
Lin Cang sighed with deep emotion. "Since I have come here, Lin Cang is already a thing of the past. From this moment onward, I shall be known as Cangyuan!"
"Detected that the host has officially undergone Form Transformation. The Choice of Destiny system has bound itself to the host!"
