Primordial: I Was Exposed After Hiding for Eons

"This isn't necessarily true. After all, this is a Saint Artifact, while the Chaos Bell is merely Eastern Emperor Taiyi's treasure. The wielder is different, so naturally the power will be different too..."

Everyone gazed up at the Heavenly Vault, discussing and debating without end.

It was simply because the treasure in the sky was called the Pangu Banner.

Everyone knew the Pangu Banner very well.

They also understood its origins.

The Pangu Banner had been transformed from the blade of the Sky-Opening Divine Axe.

Its power was boundless.

The Sky-Opening Qi Blade embodied the essence of "shattering." When used, it could tear apart chaos, split space and time, and open up the boundless Primordial World.

The Creation Mystic Light embodied the essence of "establishing." When used, it could separate yin and yang, order the five elements, and give rise to boundless "earth, water, fire, and wind."

The Primordial Boundary Barrier embodied the essence of "suppressing." When used, it could throw primordial chaos into disorder, obscure Qiankun, and transform the endless Primordial Chaos World.

Heaven-Earth Lament embodied the essence of "annihilation." When used, it could shatter heaven and earth, end the past and present, and destroy countless "Universe Worlds."

No amount of ornate language could describe the Pangu Banner's godlike power.

Everyone looked up at the enormous banner in the sky.

They were utterly entranced.

They had long heard of the Pangu Banner's renown.

But this was the first time they had truly witnessed it!

"The Pangu Banner is so awe-inspiring..."

"They say that in terms of actual destructive power, it's no weaker than the Immortal Slaying Four Swords..."

"They say that in terms of single-target destructive power, the Pangu Banner is actually number one..."

"Which do you think is stronger, the Pangu Banner or the Chaos Bell?"

"Who knows? I've heard those two treasures share the same origin, so they wouldn't fight each other."

The Primordial Great Powers all chattered among themselves.

Soon, the Great Dao Script appeared.

"Magic Treasure Ranking, number twenty-two: Pangu Banner. Innate Supreme Treasure. The Pangu Banner possesses the power to tear apart chaos and shatter the space and time of the myriad heavens. It embodies the boundless Way of Creation, commands the mysteries of all techniques, and can open up heaven, earth, and the universe. It can also control the might of heaven and earth; its offensive power is unmatched, and its power of creation is endless. Master: Primeval Lord of Heaven!"

After seeing the Great Dao Script, many of the mighty figures found themselves once again thinking the same thing:

"The Chaos Bell and the Pangu Banner have both appeared. The Taiji Diagram should be next, right?"

"You're right, brother... These three treasures share the same origin. Now that the Chaos Bell and Pangu Banner have appeared, the Taiji Diagram should naturally follow close behind..."

"Let's wait and see..."

Everyone watched the sky, feeling tense.

Before long, another beam of golden light descended.

A diagram appeared in the sky.

It was none other than the renowned Taiji Diagram of the Primordial World.

"It really is the Taiji Diagram..."

Everyone murmured to themselves...

"This Taiji Diagram really is magnificent..."

"Can the Taiji Diagram really outshine the Chaos Bell and the Pangu Banner?"

"How would I know? I'm just a little idiot..."

"Little idiot..."

Some people couldn't help laughing at that.

The Taiji Diagram separated the clear from the turbid and settled earth, water, fire, and wind, encompassing all things.

"Magic Treasure Ranking, number twenty-one: Taiji Diagram. Innate Supreme Treasure. Unable to withstand the resistance of opening heaven, the Sky-Opening Divine Axe transformed into the Taiji Diagram. Its defensive power is boundless, and it contains the profound principles of yin and yang, mysterious beyond measure. It embodies the Four Images of Taiji and the endlessly changing ways of transformation: Whatever one wishes to see will appear; whatever one thinks of will come to pass.

"Once brought forth, it repels all evil and withstands all techniques, allowing its wielder to remain undefeated. It also possesses the power to suppress boundless fortune. Master: Taishang!"

"Heaven and earth were originally without limit... From the limitless came Taiji... From Taiji came yin and yang... From yin and yang came the Four Images... The Four Images transformed into the Eight Trigrams... And so it was called the Taiji Diagram..."

The voice of the one named Xiao Erbi rang out...

"Not bad, Xiao Erbi... I didn't expect you to understand such profound principles... You really have some cultivation. I'm impressed, I'm impressed..."

"Get lost! Who gave you permission to call me Xiao Erbi?"

For a moment, the entire Primordial Chaos Land erupted in laughter.

Inside the Heavenly Machine Tower, in that mysterious place,

the woman in black was also laughing so hard she doubled over.

"Master... Is that person really called Xiao Erbi? He's quite amusing..."

The young man glanced up at the sky.

A trace of amusement showed in his tipsy, unfocused eyes:

"That fellow... is the sworn enemy of that Hypocrite... Of course he's interesting..."

"The Hypocrite's sworn enemy?"

Sanqi seemed to understand something...

The amusement in her eyes grew even stronger...

"The Chaos Bell, Pangu Banner, and Taiji Diagram have all appeared..."

"Next... it should be the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, right?"

"But... all these Innate Supreme Treasures have appeared... There are still more than twenty above them... What kind of absurd treasures could they be?"

"Brother, keep your voice down. Those Sages are already in a foul mood. If you accidentally anger them, they might make an example of you..."

"Let's stop discussing it and watch the rankings..."

"I'd like to see what kind of treasure could possibly outrank the Heaven-Opening Three Treasures..."

The entire Primordial Chaos Land was now in an uproar.

The Heaven-Opening Three Treasures had actually ranked only in the twenties...

This had completely shattered the understanding of everyone in the Primordial World.

How could there not be an uproar?

Tai Yi and Di Jun in the Heavenly Court looked just as grim...

They had never imagined that the Chaos Bell would rank only twenty-third...

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had always been immensely proud, found this almost impossible to bear.

In his heart, the Chaos Bell had always been the number-one treasure.

Now it had landed in twenty-third place.

That meant at least twenty-two treasures were more powerful than the Chaos Bell.

How could Eastern Emperor Taiyi not be furious?

Primeval Lord of Heaven, in Jade Void Palace, likewise felt humiliated.

In his mind, the Pangu Banner had unquestionably been among the top three.

Only his teacher's Jade Plate of Creation could rank above the Pangu Banner.

He hadn't even been willing to accept the Taiji Diagram ranking ahead of the Pangu Banner.

Yet he had never expected his Pangu Banner to rank only twenty-second.

The gap was simply too great, wasn't it?

At that moment, he turned his head toward another part of the sky.

His senior brother, Taishang, was in that direction.

"Senior Brother Taishang... Your Taiji Diagram ranked only twenty-first. I wonder what you think of that?"

Primeval Lord of Heaven murmured as he gazed in that direction.

Just as Primeval Lord of Heaven had expected.
