East King Duke Awakens, Chaos Bead Appears

Primordial World.

The East Sea is the head of the four seas; it is exceptionally magnificent and boundless.

Deep within the East Sea, an island lies hidden within the void. A mass of Innate Pure Yang Qi occupies a formation at the center of the island, with Dao Rhyme circulating in the surroundings. It is incredibly miraculous, and a mysterious aura is currently gestating within.

In the Primordial World, time is not recorded. No one knows when it began, but the Pure Yang Energy suddenly underwent a strange transformation. The mountains and rivers on the island trembled, and the surrounding Innate Spiritual Qi surged violently.

This phenomenon lasted for ten thousand years. One day, the aura suddenly churned and surged, followed by a ripple of emotional fluctuation emanating from within.

"I actually transmigrated into the Primordial World!"

"Innate Pure Yang Qi... does this mean I've become that legendary Primordial unlucky soul, the East King Duke?"

Within this Pure Yang Energy, a soul from another world was gestating. That's right; this soul was not born in the Primordial World but came from a place called Earth.

"So be it. The past is nothing but smoke and clouds. From this moment on, I am the Innate Divine Being of the Primordial World, the East King Duke."

With this thought, the East King Duke felt his spiritual platform clear, and his primordial spirit suddenly reached enlightenment. It was the Great Dao acknowledging his identity.

Immediately after, a vast stream of information poured into his sea of consciousness.

Pure Yang True Scripture

This was the innate inheritance bestowed by the Great Dao—a cultivation method pointing directly to the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. Before Hongjun attained sainthood, this could be considered one of the top-tier inheritances in the Primordial World.

From this, it is evident that the East King Duke's origin is extremely high, and his Innate Pure Yang Qi is a top-tier foundation. Once he manifests his Dao body in the future, he will be a supreme Innate Divine Demon.

However, the ending of the East King Duke in the legends of his past life was truly miserable. He held the empty title of the Head of Male Immortals, yet in the end, he did not meet a good fate.

"In this life, I will surely turn the tides, attain the Dao of Primordial Chaos, and stand at the pinnacle of the Primordial World. I will not let my journey to this Primordial World go to waste!"

The East King Duke swore silently with his primordial spirit.

After accepting the inheritance, he eagerly began to examine his own essence.

He made a discovery very quickly.

Two profound auras, carrying innate spiritual light, were circling his primordial spirit, bobbing up and down within the mass of Innate Pure Yang Qi that formed his body. In the dark, he could sense that they were linked to him by a thousand threads.

The East King Duke was overjoyed; he indeed possessed companion treasures.

He drove his essence to slowly pull the two treasures closer. Only then did he see clearly that they were a sword and a pearl. They were permeated with innate spiritual charm, and they were undoubtedly Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure: Pure Yang Sword.

After his primordial spirit inspected it, it was indeed this companion spiritual treasure that resonated with his own origin.

A top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure had already made the East King Duke ecstatic. But when he projected a sliver of his divine sense into the pearl, his primordial spirit was shaken with shock.

An Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead!

He never imagined that the seemingly unremarkable bead was actually this supreme treasure.

This was a supreme spiritual treasure that could be ranked alongside the Pangu Axe, the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Jade Plate of Creation as one of the four great Chaos Supreme Treasures. Even though its origin had been damaged during the Great Tribulation of the World's Creation, it still possessed the rank of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

In the legends of his past life, East King Duke did not have such great fortune as to be born with a supreme treasure, nor had he ever heard of anyone in the Primordial World possessing it. He never expected that this bead would appear before him at this moment.

Perhaps this was the benefit of being a transmigrator.

Moreover, the Chaos Bead was a very special treasure—a Space Supreme Treasure. Although it lacked offensive or defensive power, it contained a world of its own, which could almost be considered another Primordial World.

With this supreme treasure, he felt even more confident in attaining the Primordial Origin.

With the two treasures before his eyes, East King Duke was eager to refine and claim them immediately. However, his Dao Body had not yet formed, so he had no way to do so; he could only wait for the day he took human form.

His primordial spirit had only just awakened, so he certainly could not take human form immediately; he needed to stabilize and cultivate.

Furthermore, for the beings of the Primordial World, manifesting an Innate Dao Body was the first step of cultivation. To a large extent, it determined one's future potential, so it could not be treated lightly.

The Twelve Realms of Immortality are: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Grand Unity Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Golden Immortal of the Origin (Quasi-Saint), Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin (Saint), Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal (Heavenly Dao), and Primordial Undying Limitless Golden Immortal (Great Dao).

East King Duke's current primordial spirit realm was only at the early stage of Golden Immortal. As a top-tier Innate Divine Being from the same era as the Three Pure Ones and their peers, he would be at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm upon taking human form, and it was clearly not yet time for him to emerge into the world.

He did not know which era the great Primordial World had evolved into, but according to legend, the time of East King Duke's emergence was during the Dragon-Han Tribulation.

He imagined that this must be the early stage of the tribulation. On the surface, the three tribes—the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin—stood in opposition, while in the shadows, the forces of Dao and Demon were poised for action. A magnificent curtain was about to rise. In the upcoming Dragon-Han Tribulation and the struggle between Dao and Demon, he would inevitably leave his mark. Feeling fortunate to be able to participate, East King Duke was incredibly excited.

With this Chaos Bead, he finally had the foundation to contend for the destiny of the Primordial World.

He did not wish to attain sainthood and become a puppet under the Heavenly Dao; what he wanted to attain was the true, unfettered Great Dao of the Primordial Origin.

However, the path to attaining the Dao was difficult. In his past life, East King Duke followed the Path of Pure Yang, encountering many setbacks and experiencing great highs and lows before ultimately falling.

In this life, he wanted to carve out a different path—a supreme Great Dao that was more mysterious and powerful than the Path of Pure Yang.

In this, there was much he needed to plan. Of course, the first and most important thing to do now was to cultivate diligently and strive to manifest his Innate Dao Body as soon as possible.

After taking one last deep look at the two supreme treasures before him, East King Duke cast aside all distracting thoughts and began to cultivate by circulating the Pure Yang True Scripture.

It was rumored that East King Duke's dojo was on Mount Fangzhang, one of the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea. Although he did not know if he was currently on that island, the Innate Spiritual Qi here was extremely abundant, nearly liquefied. Even if it were not one of the famous Three Immortal Islands, it was still a top-tier Immortal Mountain Blessed Land.

Such an environment was an excellent place for cultivation.

Every top-tier Innate Divine Being was born of heaven and earth, a favored child of the Heavenly Dao. Endowed with unique advantages, they had no bottlenecks before reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm; they only needed to refine Innate Spiritual Qi for their realm to naturally progress.

The Pure Yang True Scripture was a top-tier inheritance perfectly suited to East King Duke, making his cultivation feel effortless.

Time passes without notice in cultivation, and the years of the Primordial World flowed away like water.

The Primordial Spirit realm of East King Duke was also rising bit by bit, from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the middle stage, and then to the late stage...

A hundred years, a thousand years... ten thousand years...

Eighty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Innate Pure Yang Qi suddenly shook repeatedly, and colorful rays of light erupted within the formation. East King Duke had reached the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, and he sensed it through his Primordial Spirit.

East King Duke felt a surge of joy, knowing that the time for his transformation had arrived.

He immediately began to circulate the transformation technique from the Pure Yang True Scripture.

Suddenly, light shone for ten thousand zhang, and mysterious Dao sounds resonated. His original form trembled, and Pure Yang Energy overflowed, coalescing into a massive vortex.

The Pure Yang vortex spun incessantly, frantically siphoning the surrounding Innate Spiritual Qi and growing continuously.

Within the vast vortex, a phantom of his Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged in the void.

Under the slow activation of the transformation technique, the Pure Yang Energy of East King Duke had absorbed spiritual qi spanning a million zhang. The Primordial Spirit within the vortex remained fixed like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle, receiving the scouring of the spiritual qi.

Soon, as if guided, the vortex began to slowly pour into the Primordial Spirit.

For a full hundred years, the Pure Yang Energy was completely absorbed by the Primordial Spirit. Amidst the spiritual radiance, a fully solidified Dao body appeared.
