Chaos has no seasons, and the Primordial World does not count years.
Since the Great God Pangu created heaven and earth, immeasurable time has passed.
Some people die, yet they still live.
"Xuanqing Xuanyuan? I've become the Fourth Purity of Pangu, who shouldn't exist?"
Xuanyuan muttered to himself, looking around but finding he had no body. His Primordial Spirit was shrouded in a wisp of pure energy.
Not far away, three other wisps of pure energy swirled, vaguely revealing the forms of three Primordial Spirits within them.
An elder, a middle-aged man, and a youth.
"That's right, I must have transmigrated to the Primordial World and am being conceived alongside the Three Pure Ones."
With an Innate Foundation, he was born with knowledge.
Xuanqing Xuanyuan was one of the Four Pangu Purities formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit after he created heaven and earth. He possessed Heaven-Opening Merit and profound Fortune.
Transmigrating to the Primordial World and becoming one of the Four Pangu Purities at the start meant having a top-tier Innate Foundation, which brought both visible benefits and hidden disadvantages.
The benefit was that as the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, he inherited Heaven-Opening Merit and Luck, making him an undeniable person of great fortune.
Upon Form Transformation, he would directly become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, reaching a height that countless Living Beings could never attain in their lifetimes.
There were also disadvantages.
His becoming the Fourth Purity of Pangu meant his Heaven-Opening Luck was a coveted, hot potato. While his Innate Foundation was powerful, it also made him a target, attracting attention and risking being schemed against by Hongjun at any moment.
The Three Pure Ones achieved sainthood, only to be fed the Saint-Slaying Pill in the end. To scheme for the Heaven-Opening Luck, how could Hongjun let him, the Fourth Purity, go?
"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, there were originally no Four Pure Ones. However, my Destiny is illusory and protected by a supreme treasure, secretly aligning with the Great Dao's principle of 'one escapes.' "
"With this supreme treasure, Hongjun can forget about scheming against us."
Xuanyuan pondered, and within his Primordial Spirit, a misty gray bead spun.
This bead appeared ordinary on the surface, but it exuded a mysterious and profound Aura, as if containing the ultimate principles of Chaos.
Inside, fifty Chaos restrictions faintly flickered, perfectly matching the number of the Great Dao's fifty perfections.
This item was, in fact, the Chaos Pearl, one of the Four Chaos Supreme Treasures!
It was precisely because it concealed Heavenly Secrets and had the ability to traverse space-time, obscuring the senses of the Great Dao and Heavenly Dao, that Xuanyuan could live another life and become the Fourth Purity of Pangu in this Primordial World.
Furthermore, due to its special ability and its secret alignment with the principle of 'one escapes,' it was difficult for beings of Chaos and the Primordial World to obtain the Chaos Pearl.
Only an outsider transmigrator like Xuanyuan, whose Destiny was illusory and who had stumbled upon this chance, could obtain it.
The Jade Disc of Creation, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, and the Chaos Green Lotus were all shattered during the creation of heaven and earth, their grades diminished.
Therefore, this Chaos Pearl was not only one of the Four Chaos Supreme Treasures but also the only remaining Chaos Supreme Treasure!
It could be said that with the Chaos Pearl, as long as Xuanyuan could initially refine it, he would be in an invincible position from the start!
Didn't want to be schemed against? The Chaos Pearl naturally concealed Heavenly Secrets!
Immeasurable Calamity? The Chaos Pearl contained a world within itself; hiding inside, one could even evade the Great Heaven-Opening Calamity!
"Once I undergo Form Transformation and emerge, I will immediately begin refining this treasure."
"Whether it's Hongjun or the Heavenly Dao, they can forget about scheming against me or treating me as a pawn or a puppet. Heavenly Dao Saint? Saint-Slaying Pill? Heh!"
"I, the Fourth Purity of Pangu, am destined in this life only to prove the Hunyuan Dao Fruit of Great Freedom and Great Liberation!"
Through the protection of the pure energy, Xuanyuan could feel the dense Calamity Qi swirling between heaven and earth, along with the brewing malice.
But he also knew he couldn't rush; the time was not yet right.
Sensing heaven and earth through the pure energy, the general trend of the world flashed through Xuanyuan's mind, as if viewing patterns on his palm.
At this time in the Primordial World.
After Pangu created heaven and earth, the world changed, and conflicts were endless.
Vibrant life flourished, and all things thrived.
It was truly a time of constant change and succession.
The resentments of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods after their fall gave rise to countless Fierce Beasts on the Primordial World Earth.
These Fierce Beasts lacked intelligence, were savage and violent, destroyed all things, and devoured Living Beings. However, some of them possessed intelligence and understood cultivation.
The strongest Fierce Beast emperor was named Shenni. He obtained the Innate Supreme Treasure God-Slaying Spear, subdued the four great Fierce Beast kings—Taotie, Chaos, Qiongqi, and Taotie—established a Fierce Beast Dynasty, and intended to dominate the Primordial World.
However, the savage and violent Fierce Beasts were ultimately not favored by the Heavenly Dao.
The Fierce Beast Calamity erupted. Under the siege of Great Divine Powers like Hongjun and Luohu, as well as the Hundred Innate Races, the Beast Emperor Shenni was killed, the four great Fierce Beast kings were sealed, and the Fierce Beast Dynasty was ultimately destroyed.
Hongjun, Luohu, Old Ancestor Qiankun, Old Ancestor Yin Yang, Old Ancestor Five Elements, Old Ancestor Yang Mei, and others obtained the Heavenly Dao Merit for eliminating the Fierce Beasts and each went into seclusion to improve their cultivation.
After the destruction of the Fierce Beast Dynasty, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes among the Hundred Innate Races rose to prominence.
Each of the three tribes dominated the sea, land, and air, none yielding to the others, all wanting to become the rulers of the Primordial World.
Thus, under Luohu's scheming instigation, the three tribes ignited the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity. A bloody war swept across the entire Primordial World, filling the heavens and Earth with Calamity Qi, Sha Qi, and Killing Intent.
In the end, the Dragon Race retreated to the Four Seas, the Phoenix Race retreated to the Volcano of Immortality, and the Kirin Race became auspicious beasts of the Primordial World. All three of their founders perished.
With that, the three tribes withdrew from the historical stage, the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity was declared over, and the Dao-Demon Conflict began.
Luohu used the blood sacrifice of the three tribes to establish the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which only the Four Saints could break.
Hongjun sought the aid of the Old Ancestors Yin Yang, Qiankun, and Five Elements. All three Old Ancestors died within the formation. Hongjun used his Three Corpses Incarnation to replace them and broke the formation in one fell swoop, gaining the upper hand.
Luohu refused to accept this. He self-destructed, destroying the Western Spiritual Veins and heavily wounding Hongjun, causing the Western Land to become barren. He then made a great oath, established the Demonic Dao, opened the Demon Realm, and became an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.
From then on, the All Beings of the Primordial World faced a Demonic Tribulation, and with the slightest carelessness, they risked falling into demonic ways.
As the Dao declined, the Demon rose; as the Demon declined, the Dao rose. The Demonic Dao would never be extinguished.
"The Dao-Demon Conflict has ended. The Primordial World is outwardly calm, but inwardly turbulent. The even more ferocious and more exciting Witch-Demon Tribulation is about to erupt."
"Fortunately, it is also time for me to undergo Form Transformation and emerge into the world."
Watching the vast changes over endless years.
Xuanyuan emerged from his communion with Heaven and Earth, looking at a strand of Mysterious Yellow Qi that had somehow become entwined with the clear Qi. He smiled faintly.
It was precisely the remaining Mysterious Yellow Qi from Pangu's Heaven-Opening, which, after conceiving two Merit Supreme Treasures, had come to assist them, the Four Pure Ones, in their Form Transformation and emergence.
The time was ripe.
"Buzz!"
Between Heaven and Earth, four divine lights suddenly shot forth.
The first divine light fell into the Grand Pure Qi. In an instant, the clear Qi surged like a tide, coalescing into a Dao embryo body. It was surrounded by Mysterious Yellow Qi, with a faint image of Taiji circulating around it.
"I am the Grand Pure One Laozi. My three virtuous brothers, if not now, when?"
A soft chant, as if resonating with Heaven and Earth, echoed. Soon, the Grand Pure Qi converged, and an elder wearing a simple Dao Robe with an ancient and gentle face underwent Form Transformation.
"I am Yu Qing Yuan Shi. I pay my respects to Eldest Brother."
The Jade Pure Qi converged, and a middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold crown emerged from the clouds. He glanced at the remaining two masses of clear Qi and bowed slightly to Laozi. His face was majestic, and his eyes were sharp, this was Yuan Shi.
"Hahaha, I am Upper Pure Tongtian. How are all my brothers?"
The Upper Pure Qi churned, and a black-robed youth let out a hearty laugh. His face was handsome but carried a hint of rebelliousness.
"I am Xuanqing Xuanyuan. Greetings to my three elder brothers."
The Profound Clarity Qi was completely absorbed into Xuanyuan's body. Although he did not speak much, a connection originating from Pangu's Primordial Spirit resonated quietly.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the Primordial World was newly established, and the Great Dao was faintly visible. The instant the Four Pure Ones emerged, ten thousand rays of divine light descended upon Heaven and Earth. Innate Spiritual Qi surged towards the four like a tide, as if celebrating them.
"We are the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, blessed with profound Fortune, born from the Great Dao Merit of Heaven-Opening. We possess the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from birth. However, we must not be arrogant. Let us first enter seclusion to stabilize our realms and avoid easily clashing with outsiders,"
Laozi said with a calm expression, stroking his beard.
With a gentle lift of his palm, an exquisite pagoda, entirely Mysterious Yellow in color, flew out from his Primordial Spirit.
It was his companion treasure, one of the two Houtian Merit Supreme Treasures, born from one-tenth of the Heaven-Opening Merit combined with Mysterious Yellow Qi – the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, which possessed unparalleled defense!
"Eldest Brother, we share the same origin. Why do the auras of Third Brother and Fourth Brother seem a notch weaker?"
Looking at the Merit Supreme Treasure in Laozi's hand, a hint of envy flashed in Yuan Shi's eyes. He cupped his hands, drawing closer to Laozi and subtly distancing himself from Tongtian and Xuanyuan.
