Emerging into the World

More than a thousand Kalpas passed before the Primordial Land regained its vitality. Yet the Northern Continent had 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 Origin Golden Immortal.

Unfortunately, his Karma with the Primordial Heaven and Earth ran too deep. Having used fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation several times, 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 yet to emerge into the world, he could already influence all living beings through the Jade Disc of Creation. Hongjun was one of the Heavenly Dao Spokespersons he had chosen.

After countless years of slaughter by Fierce Beasts and Imperial Dynasties, the Earth Veins of the Prehistoric Era had been damaged, disrupting the evolution of the Prehistoric Era.

Though the Heavenly Dao was merely a collection of rules, he realized that he could not allow all living beings to continue wreaking such havoc. It was detrimental to his growth.

The Heavenly Dao decided to seize control of the wills of all living beings early on, taking the strongest forces into his grasp to influence the creatures of the Prehistoric Era. He transmitted his intent to Hongjun, cutting off the path of planting a Great Luo Dao Seed ahead of time.

(The Great Luo Dao Seed was the path of cultivating Great Dao Law. The Heavenly Dao had yet to emerge, and the Great Dao was managing the Prehistoric Era in his stead, so he could only carry it out through Hongjun.)

Relying on the Heavenly Dao's inheritance and his insights into 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 split his Dao Seed into three, transforming them into goodness, evil, and Obsession, and comprehending the Heavenly Dao's malice toward the Prehistoric Era.

He severed an Evil Thought and entrusted it to the Jade Disc of Creation, turning it into an Evil Corpse and attaining Quasi-Sainthood.

(The protagonist had finally arrived!)

Zhou Xiaoqin awoke from his unconsciousness. The Heaven-Opening had already entered its ninth Chaos Tribulation, and the inheritance memories told him that eight tribulations had passed.

Those born in the Prehistoric Era under the Great Dao's administration inherently knew the timeline.

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

Threads of azure mist drifted from the Green Lotus of Creation and merged into his Primordial Spirit, while the Dao Coffin above his head also released silver-gray luminous mist.

"Damn!"

Upon carefully examining his Primordial Spirit, he occasionally saw three tiny patterns 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, and his Primordial Spirit trembled with excitement.

After countless years, he had been granted new life. This was a second chance, so naturally he had to be different from his mundane former 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 Law. The Great Dao passed down information: this was still the era when the Great Dao administered the world, and the restriction on Grand Luo Golden Immortals taking 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 form as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. With that, he prepared to begin taking form.

The moment this intent spread out, his Primordial Spirit began madly absorbing the surrounding Innate Spiritual Qi. The Green Lotus of Creation also rose with countless spiritual lights, helping 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 and enveloped Xuan Qing.

A flash of azure light passed, revealing a man eight feet tall. Countless streams of Innate Spiritual Qi gathered into a pale azure robe.

His jet-black hair was tied up, his bright eyes brimmed with vitality, and his sharply defined face carried an extraordinary air. Standing atop an azure lotus, he was impossible to look away from.

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

"Later Stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, with the cultivation of an Early Stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Not bad, not bad!"

"Put in a little more effort, and I'll soon become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"

Xuan Qing sensed his realm. It was extremely stable, with none of the usual problems of an unstable foundation.

The Green Lotus of Creation brimmed with life force. When it condensed his body, it directly fused with Innate Wood Origin Essence, raising his cultivation straight to the Early Stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

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

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

Xuan Qing began inspecting his body after taking form. It was perfect; his Primordial Spirit fit his flesh exceptionally well, leaving him immensely satisfied.

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

One's appearance arose from one's heart, so he was unaffected by the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

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

Eight tribulations had passed since he took form from this Green Lotus of Creation, yet its Origin appeared undamaged.

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

Though it was not complete, it 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 own Root Origin? Did it surpass those Heaven and Earth Demon Gods and the future Three Pure Ones?

Understanding dawned on him.

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

Before he could think further, the roots of the Green Lotus of Creation disintegrated, its leaves withered, and then they began merging into the seedpod, 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 into descendants, directly turning the Spiritual Root into a Spiritual Treasure.

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

Each Lotus Throne possessed a destiny. Only when one was completely destroyed could one of its descendants inherit that destiny. They were eternally unique; unless the Great Dao Rules were broken, not even the Chaos Green Lotus could change that.

Xuan Qing began carefully studying the Green Lotus of Creation. Because it had discarded part of its Origin, it should originally have been able to produce fifty-two restrictions, but unfortunately, it now had only fifty.

As Xuan Qing's Companion Spiritual Treasure that had also nurtured him, the Green Lotus of Creation was extraordinarily compatible with him.

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

Only Primordial Origin 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 draw upon the Green Lotus's Origin to refine one restriction.

In the blink of an eye, five Kalpas passed.

Xuan Qing finally refined that restriction and imprinted his Primordial Spirit into the Green Lotus of Creation. This way, he would not have 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, would require a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to attack with full force 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, so he could only give up and continue examining the Dao Coffin of Time and Space.

The Dao Coffin of Time and Space ignored him completely. When his Divine Sense probed it, there was only emptiness.

Yet he could see that it was 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 help Xuan Qing comprehend the Dao, but its killing power was also formidable. It was the most versatile of all Lotus Throne Spiritual Treasures.

While his strength was insufficient, Xuan Qing did not dare use it for offense. If enemies coveted it and its existence leaked out, the great powers would all scheme against him.

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

If it were accidentally discovered, he would directly silence every enemy. He could not leave a single survivor, or the entire Prehistoric Era would try to kill him.

The Heaven and Earth Demon Gods born in the Prehistoric Era all possessed inherited knowledge of the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures and the five great Lotus Thrones. Even if they did not recognize it, they could guess what it was from its power.

Keep a low profile and develop steadily—don't get cocky! Quietly raise his strength, and once he was strong enough, anyone who dared covet his Spiritual Treasure would get the Green Lotus of Creation smashed 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 attack methods in battle, and that would be far too frustrating. He had to prepare a few trump cards.

When he traveled through the Prehistoric Era in the future, 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 would not emerge for a long time yet. He could get there first and snatch them away.

There were so many famous Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. He wanted to collect them too and satisfy his collector's obsession.

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

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