Golden Ao Island, Xuandu Cave Mansion.
The Chaos Energy Flow flowed down like countless ribbons, slowly rotating in the depths of the void, enveloping the entire cave in a profound and indescribable fluctuation of laws.
In the center of the cave, Xuandu sat cross-legged on a futon, his green robes fluttering slightly, his black hair flowing like ink, Chaos Colored Martial Dao Rune beneath his skin slowly disappeared, returning to silence.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Two beams of Chaos Radiance flashed in his eyes, like the First Ray of Light at the beginning of World Creation, illuminating the entire cave and causing the light and shadow to shift, as if stars were being born and dying within it.
"Buzz..."
A barely perceptible tremor emanated from the depths of his Purple Mansion.
That was the resonance of the Chaos Bead being completely refined and all forty-nine Chaos Restriction submitting.
A flicker of barely suppressed excitement crossed Xuandu's eyes.
It's done.
He muttered to himself, his voice calm, but his fingertips trembled slightly.
A century-long plan, proceeding step by step.
Destroy Laozi 'Human Sect, slay Holy Mother Nuwa, Gather Fortune, subdue Fuxi, absorb the Nether River, spread martial arts, awaken humanity, and accelerate the revival of the Earth Dao...
Everything we do is for today.
All of these are the Chaos Supreme Treasure that disappeared without a trace after the World Creation and were hidden in the depths of the Blood Sea by the Billion Yuan Society!
Chaos Bead!
He slowly raised his hand, palm facing upwards.
"Buzz!"
A wisp of Chaos Colored Radiance quietly flowed from between his brows and slowly condensed in his palm.
At first, it was just a tiny glimmer of light, as insignificant as a speck of dust.
But as time went on, that tiny glimmer of light rapidly expanded, its color deepened, and its patterns became increasingly mysterious.
In the end, it transformed into a fist-sized, Chaos- colored pearl with endless star trails flowing across its surface.
It is the Chaos Bead!
The crack that ran through the pearl was still clearly visible, like an eternal scar, telling the tragic story of the Sky-Opening Tribulation.
But at this moment, the Chaos Dao Rhyme emanating from the pearl was purer and more vast than ever before!
The forty-nine Chaos Restriction have been completely refined, Xuandu and the Chaos Bead are now connected in spirit and mind, as if they were his own limbs.
"To conceal the Heavenly Secret, to obscure the Great Dao..."
Xuandu's gaze sharpened slightly, and his thoughts stirred subtly.
"Buzz!"
The surface of the Chaos Bead shimmered with light, and an invisible yet profoundly mysterious Chaos Fluctuation quietly rippled outwards.
Wherever the fluctuations passed, Xuandu was enveloped in a boundless, Hunyuan Dao Rhyme, a soaring Martial Dao Will of Fortune Blessing originating from Myriad Human Race and the Jie Sect Myriad Immortals...
All auras were completely concealed!
No, it's not convergence.
Instead... it was completely covered and concealed by the Chaos Fluctuation emitted by the Chaos Bead!
At this moment, Xuandu's aura was as ordinary as that of Mortal.
His green robes fluttered slightly, his black hair cascaded over his shoulders, his face was calm, and his eyes were deep, but he no longer possessed the majesty of Zenith Heaven, nor the sharpness of Ancestor of Martial Dao.
He seemed to be just an ordinary Daoist practitioner on the East Sea Coast.
"Good!"
A sharp glint flashed in Xuandu's eyes.
The Chaos Bead's ability to conceal one's aura far exceeded his expectations!
With this pearl on his person, even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun came, he would not be able to easily discover his true cultivation level or true whereabouts!
What does this mean?
This means that from this day forward, Xuandu... will have the confidence to truly contend with the Saints and even secretly plot against them!
A great calamity is about to begin, the secrets of Heavenly Secret are in chaos, Saints are lurking
Yuanshi, Jieyin Zhunti, Nuwa, Laozi... all of these people wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Furthermore, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun sits high in the Purple Heaven Palace, overlooking the Great Wilderness and in charge of order.
Without the means to conceal the secrets of Heavenly Secret, every step he takes will be exposed to the Sage's watchful eye.
But now...
" With the Chaos Bead in hand, where in this vast Great Wilderness cannot I go?"
A cold smile slowly curved Xuandu's lips.
But this wasn't what he valued most about the Chaos Bead.
His mind raced again.
"Open."
A single word uttered softly, like Great Dao Edict.
"Boom!"
On the surface of the Chaos Bead, the crack that pierced through it suddenly shone brightly!
Endless Chaos Energy Flow surged from the crack, intertwining and evolving above Xuandu's palm, eventually transforming into an Illusory Gateway.
Beyond the portal lay neither the walls of a cave nor the chaotic flow of void.
Instead, it was a... vast, boundless, and Chaos colored world!
At the center of the world, mountains and rivers are faintly visible, and the Earth Fire Water Wind flow slowly. The Sun Moon Stars Illusions also rotate, evolving the Primal Dao Rhyme before the World Creation.
It is the Chaos World contained within the Chaos Bead!
"Really..."
Xuandu's eyes burned as he gazed at that Chaos World.
As one of the Four Great Chaos Supreme Treasures, the Chaos Bead contains a complete Chaos World that can generate its own laws and evolve all things.
More importantly... the Time Flow Rate in this world is different from that in the outside world!
One day outside the world, but within the world... it could be a hundred days, a thousand days, or even ten thousand days!
This is what Xuandu values most!
Although the Human Race has awakened its Martial Dao Will, its Blood Qi Like a Dragon, and its Battle Intent Soaring to the Heavens, its foundation is still shallow.
After a century of cultivation, there are over ten thousand True Immortal, nearly a million Celestial Heavenly Immortal, and quite a few Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal.
Such speed would be considered astonishing by any race in the Great Wilderness.
But for Xuandu... it's still not enough!
That's far from enough!
The Witch-Demon War is about to begin, Tribulation's Climax is approaching.
At that time, not only will the demon race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array Fully Open, but also the Saints will secretly join forces to lay a trap.
If Human Race wants to truly rise in this Great Tribulation that is sweeping across the Great Wilderness and truly escape its Fate of Pawns... it must possess greater strength and more powerful individuals!
The Chaos Bead World is Human Race's greatest opportunity!
"Pity..."
Xuandu's gaze swept over that Chaos World, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Although the world is vast, the concentration of spiritual energy it contains is almost the same as that of the outside world.
Furthermore, due to the damage to the Chaos Bead and the deficiency in its origin, the Law Evolution of this world is still incomplete. Floating Mountains and Rivers, Stagnant Earth Fire Water Wind, and the Sun Moon Stars Rotation is also dim.
"The damage caused by the Sky-Opening Tribulation has ultimately affected the very origin of this world."
Xuandu muttered to himself.
With the Chaos Bead damaged, the Chaos World within it was naturally affected as well.
Insufficient spiritual energy concentration and incomplete Law Evolution are indeed a major drawback for cultivation.
but...
"For Human Race at present... that's enough."
Xuandu's eyes shone even brighter.
Human Race cultivate martial arts, Blood Qi Refining, and refining their will. Their dependence on spiritual energy is far lower than that of Immortal Path Cultivators.
The essence of martial arts training lies in unlocking one's own potential and breaking free from the Physical Body Shackles.
Spiritual energy is merely an auxiliary factor, not the fundamental one.
Even if the spiritual energy concentration in the Chaos Bead World is similar to that of the outside world, the Time Flow Difference by a hundred or a thousand times... is an enormous advantage!
Outside One Year is a hundred or a thousand years inside!
With this accumulation of time, what kind of explosive growth will the Human Race's strength experience?
"Not to mention..."
With a slight thought, Xuandu Martial Dao Rune and flowed within the depths of his Purple Mansion.
"I can draw upon my own Hunyuan Dao Rhyme to strengthen the laws of this realm and accelerate its evolution."
"Furthermore, it can mobilize the Jie Sect's Fortune and the Human Race Fortune to nourish the very essence of this world."
"Given time... this realm may well be able to restore the power that the Chaos Supreme Treasure should possess!"
With this in mind, Xuandu no longer hesitated.
He suddenly stood up, his blue robes fluttering without wind, the Hunyuan Dao Rhyme flowing naturally.
"Buzz!"
The Chaos Bead hung in front of him, its body shimmering with light. The illusory portal expanded once more, transforming into a Chaos Colored Light Gate about ten feet tall.
Beyond the portal, the Chaos World became increasingly clear.
Mountains and rivers solidify, Earth Fire Water Wind surge, the Sun Moon Stars Rotation... Though still ethereal, it has already begun to take shape as a world.
"And so it begins in this world..."
Xuandu muttered to himself and took a step forward.
"Whoosh."
His figure vanished into the portal of light in an instant.
