Hongjun: So Sorry for Being Too Poor

Pangu gazed at the Sky-Opening Axe and Jade Disk of Creation in his hands, as well as the Chaos Green Lotus beneath him, quietly contemplating a way to break through his predicament.

Neither the Sky-Opening Axe nor the Jade Disk of Creation, nor even the Chaos Green Lotus, could help Pangu break free.

These items were good, but the original Pangu had also used these Chaos Supreme Treasures, yet he still failed to achieve enlightenment.

Therefore, the first thing he needed was a new Spiritual Treasure.

He already had a target for a new Spiritual Treasure: the Chaos Bead, which was on the same level as the three great Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Legend has it that the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, with one escaping.

And the Chaos Bead was that one escape!

Within the Chaos Bead, a chaotic realm existed independently. All he needed to do was to open up a world within the Chaos Bead... There were no schemes from the Great Dao within the Chaos Bead.

As long as he succeeded in opening up a world within the Chaos Bead, he would have successfully achieved enlightenment!

"Hmm? You want the Chaos Bead? A world of its own?"

Hongjun looked at Pangu in the chaos with a strange expression.

The Chaos Bead, such a thing didn't exist at all.

This thing was completely illusory; it didn't exist in this world.

Of course, he was the Great Dao. Since Pangu wanted it, he would give it to him!

With a thought from Hongjun, a golden bead appeared in his hand.

Hongjun blew a light breath, and the golden bead instantly concealed all its brilliance, turning a dull gray color, almost identical to the chaos.

Within this Chaos Bead, a chaotic realm existed independently. However, it was not as vast as true chaos; this chaos had an end.

The next moment, Hongjun moved the dull gray Chaos Bead to the edge of Pangu's Spiritual Sense. As long as Pangu took a few steps, he would be able to sense the Chaos Bead's existence!

As for why he did this.

Hongjun stated that he, the Great Dao, didn't want to be labeled a "scheming old man" anymore. If he had directly placed it within Pangu's Spiritual Sense, it would have been full of loopholes, and even the most foolish person would have become suspicious.

Of course, this was not a scheme against Pangu; Hongjun was merely fulfilling his wish.

A thousand years later, Pangu, having emerged from his cultivation state, felt that his strength was not progressing at all. It was probably due to his restless mind.

He decided to stop cultivating and instead search for the Chaos Bead in the vast, boundless chaos.

Pangu stood up and walked a few steps in the directionless chaos, then discovered something that was attracting him.

Pangu's Spiritual Sense probed towards it. It was a gray bead, concealing all its brilliance, its exterior utterly unremarkable.

This is it!

Pangu's eyelids twitched violently!

Could this be it!!!

He felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation, as if this unremarkable bead was the very thing he had been dreaming of!

Sensing this possibility.

Pangu's Spiritual Sense immediately enveloped the gray bead.

Crack!

A small crack appeared on the bead, revealing a faint golden light, as if startled!

But the light vanished in an instant, and the bead once again became obscured.

Pangu, however, was overjoyed.

A divine object conceals itself. If my attention hadn't been fully focused on it just now, I might not have discovered it.

Pangu's Spiritual Sense probed into the bead, and the joy on his face intensified.

The Chaos Bead!

It really was the Chaos Bead!

It wants to hide its brilliance and appear as an ordinary bead?

Hmph! Naive!

In this chaos, besides the Great Dao! I! Pangu! Am the strongest!

Pangu thought disdainfully.

There were four great Chaos Supreme Treasures in the chaos, which had already been introduced above.

In Pangu's understanding.

Among these four Chaos Supreme Treasures, the Chaos Bead was definitely the strongest!

Compared to the first three, the existence of the Chaos Bead was quite special, as it possessed virtually no significant offensive power.

However, it had a more powerful function that the other three could not compare to!

That is, it contained a chaotic realm within.

Although the bead was not large, it contained a chaotic realm within, and it was as vast as the original chaos.

Moreover, after creating a world within it, he could use the Chaos Bead to smash people!

This way, his offensive power also increased.

The gravity of an entire world smashing someone. This was not comparable to the Twenty-Four Heavens of the future Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

His were merely twenty-four small chiliocosms, whereas this was a world equivalent to the Primordial World.

Smashing someone with the power of the Primordial World, even the Sky-Turning Seal would call him an expert!

"Hahahaha! The Great Dao is fifty, Heavenly Secrets are forty-nine, and one escapes. The ancients... Bah, web novels never lie to me!"

Pangu grabbed the Chaos Bead and threw his head back, laughing heartily, his tone filled with joy.

In the novels he had read, it was clearly written that the Chaos Bead contained its own chaos, capable of shielding all Heavenly Secrets from the outside world. Even the Great Dao could not calculate the location of the Chaos Bead. This was the "one that escapes."

The "one that escapes," which even the Great Dao could not find.

And now, this "one that escapes" was firmly in his grasp!

Great Dao! Watch as I, Pangu, break this predicament!

Hongjun: "Oh dear, I really can't calculate the Chaos Bead. Great God Pangu is right! The Great Dao also can't figure out the existence of the Chaos Bead."

------ Divider ------

Pangu's original plan was to create heaven and earth within the Chaos Bead and then achieve enlightenment.

However, after refining the Chaos Bead, he discovered that it wasn't large enough inside!

Although he could still create heaven and earth and achieve enlightenment, it wouldn't be the true Great Dao, but a False Great Dao.

"Sigh, what should I do now?"

Pangu fell into helplessness again.

If he achieved the False Great Dao, he would be no match for the true Great Dao at all.

Suddenly, Pangu's eyes lit up. He had thought of a good solution.

"Right! The Chaos Bead can also conceal Heavenly Secrets! As long as the Great Dao's sight and hearing are blinded, I can take the opportunity to escape into the Primordial World!"

At this moment, Pangu couldn't help but admire his own intelligence. Ancient existences were indeed foolish; only a new-era human like him could come up with such a brilliant strategy.

No sooner said than done, Pangu decided to find a Spiritual Root with a strong foundation in the chaos and hide a trace of his Primordial Spirit within it. Then, Pangu's physical body would become irrelevant.

After the tribulation of heaven and earth creation, he would escape into the Primordial World.

This was simply a flawless plan!

With this thought, Pangu first activated the power of the Chaos Bead. Instantly, he felt a faint aura begin to appear around him. This aura made him feel as if he had "disappeared" into the chaos from then on.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he tilted his head, looking exactly like an Asura, a Dragon King, a God of War, or a Su Family Son-in-Law!

Feeling the aura of his "disappearance" in the chaos, Pangu became even more confident.

Next, he needed to find another foundation with a strong origin.

With the Chaos Bead concealing Heavenly Secrets, he no longer had to worry about being noticed by the Great Dao like before.

"Looking for a Chaos Spiritual Root?"

Hongjun's expression became strange again.

Where would such a thing exist in the chaos?

The Chaos Spiritual Roots with stronger foundations were the true bodies of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, such as Yang Mei of the Hollow Willow.

The other beings in the chaos were just a few crooked trees and countless Chaos Stubborn Stones.

He really didn't know where these transmigrators read their novels.

No, it wasn't his fault.

It was because his world was too poor; it couldn't even satisfy their fantasies.
