Primordial Points Break Ten Thousand Again

This shield appears illusory, yet it contains the weight and immortality of Chaos. This is the divine ability of the Chaos Spirit Root—the Chaos Shield!

Triggered passively, it can resist all attacks below the late stage of Golden Immortal!

This is practically another life-saving trump card!

Before he could fully recover from this immense surprise, the 7200 Primordial Points, combined with the 2800 points remaining from killing fierce beasts, totaled a staggering ten thousand points!

[Primordial Points: 10000]

Looking at this perfect number, Zhao Gongming's heart began to beat wildly.

Ten thousand Primordial Points!

This was enough for him to perform an unprecedented grand deduction!

His gaze immediately fell upon the "Sea-Calming Divine Pearls"!

"System, deduce the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls!"

[Detected that the host possesses a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls. Deduction to Innately Supreme Treasure level requires 5000 Primordial Points. Confirm?]

Innately Supreme Treasure!

Zhao Gongming's breath hitched, and he unhesitatingly chose to confirm!

"Confirm deduction!"

Hum—

Five thousand Primordial Points vanished. The twenty-four azure Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew out of his sleeve on their own, hovering in the middle of the cave abode.

In an instant, a more brilliant and vast Innate Divine Light erupted than before, illuminating the entire cave abode into a sacred, azure realm!

Within each pearl, the previously blurry starry seas now appeared incredibly real! Great stars were burning, galaxies were revolving, as if twenty-four true great worlds were gestating and evolving within!

The Great Dao of Water contained within, infused by the Primordial Origin, surged madly, breaking through the boundaries of Post-Natal and Innate, transforming into the true... Innate Great Dao of Water!

At this moment, the aura of the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls merged into one. The oppressive aura had surpassed the scope of a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, emitting a Supreme Treasure divine might that suppressed all heavens and defined the universe!

Attack and defense power, increased tenfold!

Zhao Gongming beckoned, and the twenty-four pearls, having transformed into Innately Supreme Treasures, fell into his palm. They were as smooth as jade yet as heavy as a universe.

He could clearly feel that his connection with the divine pearls had reached a perfect state of telepathic understanding, controllable as if they were an extension of his own arm!

Holding ten thousand Primordial Points, with five thousand remaining. Possessing the Chaos Spirit Root and now with an Innately Supreme Treasure by his side, Zhao Gongming felt unprecedentedly powerful and confident. He left Jin'ao Island once more. This time, his goal was clearer—to seek opportunities in the Primordial World, temper himself, and completely transform this surging strength into his own Dao!

Several months later, Zhao Gongming arrived at a fierce land called "Profound Water Black Marsh."

The water elemental energy here was extremely dense, yet it was mixed with endless resentment and bloodlust, clearly the lair of a water-elemental fierce beast.

As soon as he approached, the ten thousand acres of black marsh below suddenly exploded. A Qilin, mountain-sized, covered in black scales, and with a single horn on its head, emerged from the water, its pair of blood-red eyes locking onto him.

"Late Golden Immortal peak... Profound Water Qilin!" Zhao Gongming saw through its foundation at a glance and sensed the residual resentment of countless fallen cultivators on it.

"Another one coming to die! I shall take your flesh and blood!" The Profound Water Qilin spoke human words, its voice filled with brutality and greed. It opened its mouth and unleashed a black Profound Water Divine Thunder, carrying the aura of corrosion, which blasted towards Zhao Gongming.

Facing this attack, which was enough to heavily injure an ordinary late Golden Immortal cultivator, Zhao Gongming didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Wretched beast, you have committed countless evils. Today, you are destined to perish."

His voice was calm, as he was too lazy for further nonsense. With a thought, a Sea-Calming Divine Pearl flew out from his sleeve, transforming into an almost imperceptible blue stream of light.

A thick water shield lit up around the Profound Water Qilin. This was its innate divine ability, and it was confident it could withstand the full force of an attack from a cultivator of the same level.

However, the blue stream of light descended.

Crack!

A crisp sound, like shattering glass. The indestructible water shield, in the face of the Innately Supreme Treasure-level Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, was as fragile as a piece of thin paper, instantly pierced and shattered!

"No... Impossible! What kind of magic treasure is this?!" For the first time, infinite terror appeared in the Profound Water Qilin's blood-red eyes.

But Zhao Gongming gave it no further opportunity.

"Suppress!"

He flicked his finger again, and three more Sea-Calming Divine Pearls whistled out, positioning themselves in three directions, instantly forming a small-scale field that completely enveloped the Profound Water Qilin!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three divine pearls, like three great worlds, carrying an irresistible suppressing power, smashed down fiercely!

The Profound Water Qilin's massive, mountain-like body, without even a chance to let out a scream, was completely crushed into powder from its flesh to its Nascent Soul by this terrifying force!

The black marsh above was calm, as if nothing had happened.

[Ding! Killed the malevolent beast Profound Water Qilin at the peak of late Golden Immortal. Gained Heavenly Dao Merit. Reward: 3000 Primordial Points!]

[Ding! Obtained one Profound Water Qilin Inner Core (Innate Level)!]

Zhao Gongming casually collected the Inner Core, which contained immense water elemental power, his expression as still as a calm lake. He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the Inner Core. The Chaos Spirit Root trembled slightly, refining all its energy.

A stream of extremely pure Mana surged into his limbs, bringing him only one step away from the late Golden Immortal stage.

He looked up towards the deeper parts of the Primordial Continent, his eyes calm and profound.

This was merely the beginning.

While Zhao Gongming honed himself in the Profound Water Black Marsh, slowly settling the surging cultivation and the power of his magic treasures into his own foundation, a different scene unfolded at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, millions of miles away.

Two disheveled figures stumbled and knelt within the great hall. One had a severed arm, the other's chest robes were torn, and their aura was extremely weak.

They were none other than Chi Xiazi and Mingguang Daoist, who had fled back from Fallen Immortal Ridge.

At this moment, they were tearfully recounting their tale to the Daoist seated on a cloud bed above them, a man with a face like jade and a stern expression.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother, you must avenge us!" the Golden Immortal with the severed arm cried, tears streaming down his face, his voice filled with grievance and venom. "My junior brother and I, under your orders, went to Fallen Immortal Ridge to investigate the anomaly in the malevolent energy. We never expected to encounter that Zhao Gongming of the Jiejiao Sect!"

"He... he attacked without a word! If we hadn't been quick to react, we would have already died and our Nascent Souls would not have returned!"

"That Zhao Gongming even spoke arrogantly, saying that all disciples of the Chan Sect are mere chickens and dogs, unable to withstand a single blow! He also said... he also said that in his eyes, Senior Brother, you are nothing special!"

They embellished their story, twisting Zhao Gongming's indifference and power into brutality and humiliation. The last sentence, in particular, was a complete fabrication, directly aimed at the Daoist on the cloud bed—True Lord Yuding!
