Primordial Wilderness: This poor Daoist Yun Xiao, Saint of Three Immortal Island!

"Open the Novice Gift Pack!" Lin Yun Xiao said directly.

The moment the words fell, a cascade of notification sounds exploded in his mind like thunder.

"Ding-dong, congratulations host, opening the Novice Gift Pack, you have obtained Top-grade Cave Heaven Blessed Land Map x1!"

"Ding-dong, congratulations host, opening the Novice Gift Pack, you have obtained Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Mysterious Yellow Star Silk!"

"Ding-dong, congratulations host, opening the Novice Gift Pack, you have obtained one million points of Great Dao Merit!"

Listening to the string of notifications in his mind, Lin Yun Xiao felt a surge of joy.

He had to admit, the rewards from this Novice Gift Pack were incredibly generous.

First, there was the Top-grade Cave Heaven Blessed Land Map!

When the Great God Pangu split open Chaos and evolved the Primordial Wilderness, countless Chaos Fragments fell into the Primordial Wilderness, forming the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands!

The most famous Cave Heaven Blessed Lands were the legendary Three Immortal Islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang!

However, every Cave Heaven Blessed Land was protected by Innate Restrictions, sealing and shielding all heavenly secrets!

Unless one's karmic opportunity arrived, even if a Cave Heaven Blessed Land stood right before you, you would never find it!

But now, with this Top-grade Cave Heaven Blessed Land Map, everything was completely different. By following the guidance on the map, one could smoothly locate a top-grade Cave Heaven Blessed Land. This was a great opportunity that would make even a Primordial Saint's heart race!

The second reward was the Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mysterious Yellow Star Silk!

According to the system's information, this spiritual treasure was formed from the combination of Innate Mysterious Yellow Qi and the Star Origin.

When offered in battle, the Innate Mysterious Yellow Qi was immensely heavy—a single strand weighed as much as a mountain—while the Star Origin could draw upon the power of the stars from all heavens, suppressing all enemies. It combined offense and defense, with terrifying might!

As for the third reward, one million points of Great Dao Merit, it made Lin Yun Xiao's eyes light up.

In the Primordial Wilderness, merit was incredibly precious. It could be used to enhance cultivation, refine spiritual treasure restrictions, and was essentially a universal remedy!

And the merit rewarded by the system this time was even more valuable than Heavenly Dao Merit—Great Dao Merit, pure and flawless. After using and refining it, there was no need to worry about any side effects!

"First, I need to take form as quickly as possible. Only then can I refine the Mysterious Yellow Star Silk and gain some initial ability to protect myself!"

As Lin Yun Xiao pondered, he instinctively began to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The vast Innate Spiritual Energy seemed to materialize, enveloping him completely, causing the first white cloud in this world to grow continuously, its faint glow becoming richer and richer!

In the Primordial Wilderness, time was immeasurable. In the blink of an eye, a million years had passed!

"No good, this speed is too slow!"

Lin Yun Xiao stopped. At this point, his "body" had expanded more than twice its original size, covering a full two acres—a fairly large white cloud.

But that was all. At this rate, if he wanted to take form, he would probably have to wait until the end of the Dragon-Han Tribulation.

This was normal, after all. The original Yun Xiao had only been able to take form during the Witch-Demon Tribulation!

"Let me try using the Great Dao Merit!"

With a thought, Lin Yun Xiao poured all one million points of Great Dao Merit from the Novice Gift Pack into his body!

Hum!

The next moment, a pillar of golden light, visible only to him, suddenly enveloped him. Bathed in the golden light, Lin Yun Xiao felt a warm glow all over, incredibly comfortable, as if soaking in a hot spring. At the same time, he discovered with pleasant surprise that his original two-acre "body" was now expanding at an unimaginable speed!

Two acres!

Ten acres!

One hundred acres!

One thousand acres!

The golden pillar appeared quickly and vanished just as fast!

By the time the golden pillar had completely disappeared, Lin Yun Xiao's "size" had directly expanded to nearly ten thousand acres!

Hum!

It was at this moment that a sudden, intuitive feeling arose in Lin Yun Xiao's heart.

The next instant, the vast white cloud spanning nearly ten thousand acres abruptly contracted, almost instantly returning to its original size of one acre.

But now, within this white cloud, a faint trace of life's mystery was evolving, as if a divine being was being nurtured inside. A sacred light emerged from within.

At the same time, the Great Dao rumbled, and Great Dao Talismans descended, swirling around the white cloud, as if expounding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth!

This was the era of the Fierce Beast Tribulation. The Heavenly Dao had not yet emerged, and the Great Dao still governed the Primordial Wilderness. With Yun Xiao's origin, he was undoubtedly a sacred being of heaven and earth. It was only natural that his birth would cause the Great Dao to resonate!

In the Primordial Wilderness, time was immeasurable. Another million years passed in the blink of an eye!

Hum!

One day, a sacred light suddenly burst forth, enveloping millions of miles in all directions. At the same time, countless Great Dao Talismans descended, manifesting endless auspicious divine beasts—cranes, True Dragons, True Phoenixes—all lifelike, racing and leaping without pause.

Soon, the white cloud exploded with a bang, and all the strange phenomena dissipated. A figure of peerless beauty slowly emerged from the dispersing cloud!

This figure was a stunningly beautiful woman. Her face was exquisite beyond compare, and a divine light shone from her luminous forehead, where a Great Dao Talisman was vividly inscribed, representing the meaning of clouds. The exploded white cloud transformed into a white dress that wrapped around her, making her appear even more sacred, as if she were a divine being of heaven and earth, every movement in perfect harmony with the principles of the universe!

"To have just taken form and already be at the Golden Immortal Realm—this is indeed the origin of the first white cloud in the Primordial Wilderness!"

"Since I've inherited Yun Xiao's origin, from today onward, I shall call myself Yun Xiao!"

Lin Yun Xiao spoke aloud. In the Primordial Wilderness, a name inherently aligned with one's own origin and the principles of heaven and earth.

Of course, he did not proclaim it to the Great Dao; he merely thought it to himself.

As a transmigrator, if he actually announced it to the Great Dao, and a bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder came crashing down, that would be nothing short of courting death!

"Ding-dong, detected that the host has currently taken form and completed the first stage quest. Partial rewards from the Supreme Treasure Chest may be claimed. Claim? Yes or no?"

Taking form and emerging into the world brought great joy!

At this moment, Yun Xiao was immersed in that joy!

Just then, the system's prompt sounded, startling her for a moment before an even richer joy spread across her face.

That was right—she had successfully taken form and could now claim part of the reward!

What was she waiting for?

"Claim!"

Yun Xiao answered without hesitation.

The moment the words fell, a crisp chime rang out!

"Ding-dong, congratulations host. You have claimed partial rewards from the Supreme Treasure Chest and obtained Hongmeng Purple Qi (The One That Escapes) x1."

???

Hearing the chime in her mind, even with Yun Xiao's composure, she was stunned on the spot.

She had never imagined that the rewards from the Supreme Treasure Chest could be this terrifying!

Hongmeng Purple Qi was the legendary foundation of the Great Dao, a treasure for attaining enlightenment!

Back when Dao Ancestor Hongjun lectured at the Purple Cloud Palace, he had bestowed seven strands. Six of them were used by the Six Saints of the Primordial Wilderness to attain enlightenment as Primordial Saints. The seventh strand fell into the hands of Daoist Hong Yun. But how could such a supreme treasure belong to a mere Quasi-Saint? In the end, Hong Yun was besieged and forced to self-destruct under Kunpeng's coercion. That strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi shattered into eight pieces—three long, five short—which later corresponded to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of later ages!

Of course, that was a story for another time.

But the fact that a single strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi could force a Quasi-Saint to self-destruct showed just how terrifying its value was!

If it appeared in later ages, even a Primordial Saint would be unable to resist coming down to seize it!

What astonished Yun Xiao even more was that the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Supreme Treasure Chest was no ordinary strand.

It was the legendary "One That Escapes," which could be used directly to attain enlightenment as a Great Dao Saint, not a Heavenly Dao Saint. Once enlightenment succeeded, one would not be bound under the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness!

The value of such a treasure was in no way inferior to an Innate Supreme Treasure!

And this was only part of the Supreme Treasure Chest's rewards. It was hard to imagine what terrifying rewards lay within a fully opened chest!

Hum!

Lost in thought, Yun Xiao sat cross-legged on the spot. A strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi, brimming with infinite profundity, appeared before her. Without hesitation, she directly refined it into her Primordial Spirit.

To begin comprehending such a treasure of enlightenment, one would need at least to reach the perfection of the Golden Immortal of the Origin realm before one could start grasping the principles of enlightenment it contained!

This was the era of the Fierce Beast Tribulation. Hongjun had not yet attained sainthood, nor had he lectured at the Purple Cloud Palace or passed down the Three Corpses Severing Method.

Thus, in the Primordial Wilderness at this time, there was no Quasi-Saint realm. Instead, it was replaced by the Golden Immortal of the Origin realm!

Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Golden Immortal of the Origin, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!

These were the current cultivation realms of the Primordial Wilderness, and there were no Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin—that is, no beings at the saint level—yet!

For Yun Xiao to have just taken form and already reached the Golden Immortal Realm was already quite impressive!

"Next, I'll refine the Mysterious Yellow Star Silk, then travel the Primordial Wilderness to find that top-tier Blessed Land!"

After storing away the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Yun Xiao moved her mind. A square silk cloth swirling with Mysterious Yellow Qi appeared directly before her. On the cloth, countless jewels shimmered in various colors, dazzling and brilliant, their infinite radiance seeming to illuminate millions of miles around. But upon closer inspection, those were no jewels at all—they were clearly miniature stars, drawing upon the power of countless ancient celestial bodies. A single tiny jewel likely weighed tens of millions of tons!
