Emerging in Human Form

Another thousand-odd Kalpas passed before the Primordial Land regained its vitality. However, the Northern Continent had, after all, been the den of Fierce Beasts, and its earth veins had suffered tremendous damage.

Compared to the other three continents, the Northern Continent was far more desolate. Many living beings had left the north.

Hongjun had long since condensed his Great Luo Dao Seed and was preparing to attain the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Unfortunately, his Karma with the Primordial Heaven and Earth ran too deep. Having repeatedly used the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment, he had long been tainted by the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

"Alas, this is the only way. What a pity!" Hongjun sighed unwillingly.

Although the Heavenly Dao had not yet been born, it could already influence all beings through the Jade Disc of Creation. Hongjun was one of the Heavenly Dao Spokespersons It had chosen.

The earth veins of the Prehistoric Era had been ravaged by the Fierce Beasts and countless years of warfare between dynasties, disrupting the evolution of the Prehistoric Era.

Though the Heavenly Dao was merely a collection of rules, it had realized that it could not allow all beings to continue wreaking such havoc. It was detrimental to the Heavenly Dao's growth.

The Heavenly Dao decided to take control of the will of all beings early on, grasping the strongest forces in its hand to influence the living beings of the Prehistoric Era. It sent its will to Hongjun, cutting off the path of cultivating the Great Luo Dao Seed in advance.

(The Great Luo Dao Seed was the path of cultivating Great Dao Laws. The Heavenly Dao had yet to be born, and the Great Dao was managing the Prehistoric Era in its stead. It could only act through Hongjun's hand.)

Relying on the Heavenly Dao's inheritance and his comprehension of the Jade Disc of Creation, Hongjun began deducing the Heavenly Dao's path of cultivation. It was under such circumstances that Severing the Three Corpses began to emerge.

Using the Jade Disc of Creation, Hongjun divided his Dao Seed into three, transforming it into goodness, evil, and Obsession, comprehending the Heavenly Dao's malice toward the Prehistoric Era.

He severed his Evil Thought, entrusting it to the Jade Disc of Creation. It transformed into his Evil Corpse, allowing him to become a Quasi-Saint.

(The protagonist is finally here!)

Zhou Xiaoqin awoke from his unconsciousness. The ninth Chaos Tribulation since the opening of heaven had already arrived. The inheritance information in his memories told him that eight Measure Tribulations had passed.

Under the Great Dao's management, beings born in the Prehistoric Era inherently knew the current point in time.

Zhou Xiaoqin discovered that he was in the state of a Primordial Spirit. Beneath his Primordial Spirit, a Twenty-Four Petaled Jade Green Lotus of Creation grew within Three Lights Divine Water, while above his head floated the Chaos Exotic Treasure, the Dao Coffin of Time and Space.

Wisps of green mist drifted from the Green Lotus of Creation and merged into his Primordial Spirit, while the Dao Coffin above his head also emitted silver-gray radiant mist.

"Holy shit!"

Upon examining his Primordial Spirit more closely, he occasionally saw three tiny lines emerge: one silver-gray, one blue-violet, and one pale gold.

His Primordial Spirit seemed different. These should have been left behind by Supreme Laws. His Primordial Spirit trembled with excitement.

After countless years, he had been given new life. This was a second chance at life, one that would be different from the mundane existence of his previous life. Since he had come to the Prehistoric Era, he would call himself Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing began to sense the realm of his Primordial Spirit. A Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

He had not reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm? Weren't Innate Divine Beings all Grand Luo Golden Immortals upon emerging into the world? Then he could not fall behind others.

After calming down, he began comprehending Great Dao Laws. The Great Dao transmitted information to him: this was currently the era in which the Great Dao managed all things, and the restriction on Grand Luo Golden Immortals taking human form had yet to be lifted.

He could not cultivate while in his Primordial Spirit state, but he could comprehend realms.

Since he could not reach the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he would take human form as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. With that, he prepared to begin his transformation.

The moment this thought arose, his Primordial Spirit began madly absorbing the surrounding Innate Spiritual Qi. The Green Lotus of Creation also released countless spiritual lights to help him condense a Dao body.

More than ten Kalpas passed. A Dao Sound rang out, and its suppressive force could be felt across hundreds of millions of miles. The Law of Creation descended from the heavens, enveloping Xuan Qing.

A flash of azure light passed, revealing a man eight chi tall. Countless strands of Innate Spiritual Qi gathered to form a pale azure robe.

His jet-black hair was tied up, his bright eyes brimmed with vitality, and his sharply defined features gave him an imposing bearing. Standing atop an azure lotus, he was so striking that no one could help but be captivated.

"I've finally taken human form. After countless years of waiting!" Xuan Qing was overjoyed.

"Later Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Early Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation.

Not bad, not bad!

With a little more effort, I'll soon reach the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Xuan Qing sensed his realm and found it extremely stable, with none of the usual instability in one's foundation.

The Green Lotus of Creation was overflowing with vitality. When it condensed his body, it directly fused with Innate Wood Origin Essence, pushing his cultivation directly to the Early Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

His realm had also reached the Later Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, so he did not need to worry about flaws appearing after his cultivation improved.

After drifting through Chaos for countless years, his lonely heart had finally found something to cling to.

Xuan Qing began inspecting the body he had gained after taking human form. It was perfect, and his Primordial Spirit fit his fleshly body exceptionally well. This delighted him greatly.

His Dao body had fused with a trace of the Dao Rhyme of Creation and was also extraordinarily compatible with the will of the Sentient Beings of the Human Dao.

One's appearance came from one's heart, so he was not affected by the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

Afterward, he began examining the Green Lotus of Creation that had nurtured him.

Eight Measure Tribulations had passed, and he had taken human form from within this Green Lotus of Creation, yet its Origin appeared to be undamaged.

He extended his Divine Sense into the Green Lotus of Creation and saw fifty Chaos Restrictions. One of them had not fully evolved and remained illusory.

Though it was not complete, it had surpassed an Innate Supreme Treasure. He understood that this was the Great Dao's suppression of Chaos Spiritual Treasures being born within the Prehistoric Era.

Then what about his Root Origin? Had it surpassed those Heaven and Earth Demon Gods and the Three Pure Ones of later generations?

Understanding dawned upon him.

He had been nurtured by a Chaos Exotic Treasure and a Chaos Spiritual Root. Although he was suppressed by the Great Dao, his Origin was still Chaos Origin, making him unique within this Prehistoric Era.

Before he could think further, the roots and stem of the Green Lotus of Creation disintegrated, its lotus leaves withered, and then they began merging into the lotus pod, transforming into a Lotus Throne.

Brothers, put an illustration here!

Because it was too heaven-defying, the Great Dao restricted the lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus from evolving descendants, directly turning the Spiritual Root into a Spiritual Treasure.

The other four Lotus Thrones were born in the same manner.

Every Lotus Throne possessed a destiny. Only when one was completely destroyed could one of its descendants inherit that destiny. It was eternally unique, unless one could break the Great Dao Rules—even the Chaos Green Lotus could not accomplish that.

Xuan Qing began carefully studying the Green Lotus of Creation. Because it had given up part of its Origin, it could originally have produced fifty-two restrictions, but unfortunately, it now possessed only fifty.

As Xuan Qing's Companion Spiritual Treasure, and having also nurtured him, the Green Lotus of Creation was exceptionally compatible with him.

He prepared to refine its restrictions and temper the Spiritual Treasure.

Only Primordial Golden Immortals could comprehend and refine Chaos Restrictions. Even Grand Luo Golden Immortals were helpless when faced with Chaos Spiritual Treasures.

As his Companion Spiritual Treasure, Xuan Qing could still stir the Azure Lotus's Origin and refine one restriction.

In the blink of an eye, five Kalpas passed.

Xuan Qing finally refined that restriction and imprinted his Primordial Spirit upon the Green Lotus of Creation. This way, he no longer had to fear someone snatching it away during battle.

The Green Lotus of Creation flew directly into his Primordial Spirit and sank into his Sea of Consciousness, protecting him.

With a Spiritual Treasure like the Green Lotus of Creation, no one would be able to directly injure him in future battles.

To break through the Green Lotus of Creation's barrier, given Xuan Qing's current cultivation, one would need at least a Grand Luo Golden Immortal unleashing their full power for several Kalpas.

With such a Spiritual Treasure protecting him, Xuan Qing finally felt a little safer about traveling through the Prehistoric Era.

Xuan Qing could not comprehend the Green Lotus of Creation's second restriction at all and could only give up. He had no choice but to continue examining the Dao Coffin of Time and Space.

The Dao Coffin of Time and Space paid him no attention whatsoever. When his Divine Sense probed it, he found nothing but emptiness.

Yet he could see that it rested within his Sea of Consciousness. This was a domain Xuan Qing could not touch at present.

The Green Lotus of Creation was an all-purpose Spiritual Treasure. Not only could it condense Three Lights Divine Water and assist Xuan Qing in comprehending the Dao, it also possessed formidable offensive power. It was the most versatile among Lotus Platform Spiritual Treasures.

With his strength still insufficient, Xuan Qing did not dare use it for offense. If an enemy coveted it and word got out, the Great Powers would all scheme against him.

A common man was innocent, but possessing treasure made him guilty. Xuan Qing did not dare casually bring out the Green Lotus of Creation to fight enemies. It was enough for it to protect him within his Primordial Spirit, ensuring he would not have to worry about sneak attacks.

If it was accidentally discovered, he would have to silence every enemy at once and leave no survivors. Otherwise, the entire Prehistoric Era would want him dead.

The Heaven and Earth Demon Gods born in the Prehistoric Era all possessed inherited information about the supreme treasures from the opening of heaven and the five great Lotus Thrones. Even if they did not recognize it, they could guess its identity from its might.

Keep a low profile, don't get cocky! Quietly build up his strength. Once he was strong enough, anyone who dared covet his Spiritual Treasure would get the Green Lotus of Creation smashed straight into their face.

Although he now possessed a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, he could not easily reveal it to others and could only use it for defense.

At the very least, he needed an offensive Spiritual Treasure. Otherwise, he would lack attacking methods in battle, which would be far too frustrating. He had to prepare a few trump cards.

When he ventured into the Prehistoric Era later, he would definitely seek out several fine Spiritual Treasures. Many Spiritual Treasures had yet to emerge into the world, so he still had many opportunities.

There were so many Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Prehistoric Era, and Innate Divine Beings had not yet emerged. He could go intercept them first.

There were so many famous Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and he wanted to collect them too, satisfying his collecting obsession.

To hell with Karma. Before the Heavenly Dao took control of the Prehistoric Era and marked those Spiritual Treasures, he needed to act quickly.

At present, Spiritual Treasures went to those fated to obtain them. Whoever had strength was the fated one.
