Some people couldn't react in time.

Even the Great Dao Script's introduction was extremely vague.

Let alone the utterly bewildered Primordial beings.

Primordial?

So what exactly was this "Primordial" thing?

Was Primordial also a magic treasure?

Used by someone as a magic treasure?

Chaos, the source of all things in the Primordial world.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

What exactly was this thing?

And what kind of power did it possess?

This was something beyond the scope of their understanding.

Although the Primordial beings had little idea what this "Primordial" actually was!

The Sages and Quasi-Saints, however, understood it perfectly well.

The origin of the world was originally Void.

Void gave birth to Primordial, Primordial gave birth to Chaos, Chaos opened into the Primordial world.

The Magic Treasure Ranking had finished listing the third position, the Chaos Supreme Treasures.

So the second position had become a Primordial Supreme Treasure: Primordial?

Then what supreme treasure occupied the top spot?

Could it be a Void-level Supreme Treasure?

Thinking of this, even the Sages' faces turned grim.

Especially Taishang Laozi, who possessed the deepest cultivation.

Starting from the eighth position, the Jade Plate of Creation, the treasures had already become Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Now this second position had completely exceeded their understanding.

They still didn't know what the first position was.

The Primordial beings unconsciously grew tense.

All of them stood up from the ground, staring intently at the Primordial Violet Gold List in the sky.

Next.

It was time for the first position on the Magic Treasure Ranking...

Truly, it came only after a thousand calls and ten thousand summons.

At last, the most thrilling moment had arrived.

After a long time.

The Violet Gold Qi in the sky began to churn once more.

All the Violet Gold Qi that filled the entire void joined in this process of manifestation.

It seemed extremely difficult to manifest this treasure.

After a very, very long time.

This treasure was finally manifested successfully.

Then it condensed into a palace.

This palace in the sky opened its grand halls, displaying the virtue of its saintly master. Lofty gates rose in jagged splendor, floating twin towers in the Supreme Clarity. A magnificent pavilion stood in mid-heaven, connecting flying galleries to the Western City.

Overlooking the long flow of the Zhang River, gazing at the lush growth of gardens and fruits. Twin terraces stood on left and right, with a Jade Dragon and a Golden Phoenix. Two bridges linked east and west, like a rainbow spanning the sky. Looking down upon the splendor of the imperial capital, gazing at the drifting clouds and mists. Rejoicing in the gathering of many talents, harmonizing with the auspicious dream of the Flying Bear. Looking up at the gentle spring breeze, listening to the mournful cries of a hundred birds.

The celestial walls were already erected, fulfilling the family's wishes. Spreading benevolent transformation throughout the realm, showing utmost reverence in the Upper Capital. Even the flourishing reigns of Duke Huan and Duke Wen—how could they compare to this sage brilliance!

How wonderful, how beautiful! Favor and grace spread far and wide.

Wings aiding my royal house, bringing peace to the four corners.

Matching the measure of Heaven and Earth, shining with the radiance of Sun and Moon. Eternal honor without end, equal to the lifespan of the Eastern Emperor. Riding the dragon banner to roam, turning the phoenix carriage to wander.

Grace transforming the four seas, blessing abundance and the people's peace. May this terrace stand forever, joy unending through the ages.

Truly, it was a palace of jade and towers of gemstone, with celestial music drifting, pavilions and terraces shimmering in layers!

The billions upon billions of Primordial beings, gazing at the celestial pavilion in the sky, fell into a trance of enchantment.

Everyone was immersed in it, unable to break free.

The aerial pavilion was boundless in its magnificence.

Its beauty was infinite.

Words could hardly capture the wonder of this pavilion.

A moment later, the Great Dao Script finally descended:

["Magic Treasure Ranking First Place: Heavenly Machine Tower: Void-level magic treasure. Function unknown. Master: Changkong!"]

"Holy crap..."

"Heavenly Machine Tower?"

"What the hell is that?"

"What kind of thing is this? Just a name? Heavenly Machine Tower? Function unknown?"

"Can't even the Primordial Violet Gold List detect the Heavenly Machine Tower's specific function?"

"Isn't this a rip-off? We waited all that time just to get a 'function unknown'?"

"Alright... this is good enough. Being able to show it off for you to see is already a rare feat..."

"Well said. Without this Primordial Violet Gold List, we'd probably still be like frogs at the bottom of a well, thinking the Jade Plate of Creation was the strongest treasure!"

"Isn't this information enough? At the very least, it told us the name and the treasure's grade—that's already extremely precious..."

"I wonder what kind of power this Void-level Heavenly Machine Tower actually has?"

"No matter what power this thing has, it's definitely far stronger than that so-called Primordial level..."

"Now I finally understand the origin of the world."

Void—Primordial—Chaos—Primordial Era...

The Primordial beings erupted into complete uproar.

Each voiced their own feelings.

Some felt disappointed.

Others felt satisfied...

All kinds of emotions, varied and countless.

At that moment, within the Purple Cloud Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat in the seat of honor, staring intently at the list.

His eyes grew darker by the moment.

He had originally thought that treasures like the Jade Plate of Creation and the Sky-Opening Axe were the strongest.

He never imagined there was something above the Sky-Opening Divine Axe and the Jade Plate of Creation—the Primordial level.

And above the Primordial level, there was the Void-level Heavenly Machine Tower...

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's heart trembled inexplicably.

These treasures—let alone others, even he, a Dao Ancestor, had never heard of them.

At the same time, he developed a deep interest in this person called Changkong Daoist.

What kind of existence could possess such a treasure?

He would have to see.

Just who was this Changkong Daoist?

What virtue or ability did he have to own so many supreme treasures?

If his strength was insufficient, these treasures would likely change hands completely.
