Chaos Supreme Treasure? Jie School's Senior Disciple Zhao Gongming!

[You comprehended the Chaos Pearl and gained a little insight. You realized that it contained nine layers of restrictions.]

[You continued comprehending the Chaos Pearl and attempted to break the first layer of restrictions, but failed...]

"Chaos Pearl? A complete Primordial Chaos Treasure? Hiss!"

Zhao Gongming awoke from his contemplation. Looking at the plain, gray stone pearl before him, he sharply sucked in a breath, stormy waves surging through his heart!

The Chaos Pearl was one of the legendary Four Great Primordial Chaos Treasures—and the most special among them!

When Pangu split Heaven and Earth, beneath the Great Dao's pressure, the Thirty-Sixth-Grade Chaos Green Lotus, the complete Creation Jade Butterfly, and even the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe all shattered, transforming into countless treasures of the Primordial World. Only the Chaos Pearl drifted beyond the Great Dao itself, so elusive that even the Great Dao could scarcely seize it. Legend had it that it contained a Grandmist World within. As long as one hid inside, one could evade the Immeasurable Calamity, directly attain the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, and gain freedom and transcendence!

Not only that, the Chaos Pearl was the sole Primordial Chaos Treasure that had remained intact!

For a moment, even Zhao Gongming's temperament was so shaken that he remained speechless for a long while.

"I never expected that after evolving a complete Myriad Heavens World and expanding the chaos vortex, I'd actually draw in the Chaos Pearl, which drifted beyond the Great Dao!"

"Ran Deng really is my lucky star!"

Looking at the Chaos Pearl in his hand, Zhao Gongming murmured with a smile. According to the information in his mind, the Chaos Pearl contained nine layers of restrictions. Each layer refined would unlock part of its abilities. Once all nine layers were completely refined, its terrifying power as a Primordial Chaos Treasure could be fully unleashed.

Of course, that sounded simple, but even the first layer of restrictions required the Primordial Spirit cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to refine!

"As expected of a Primordial Chaos Treasure. Even its refining threshold requires a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal just to begin refining it!"

Rather than being alarmed, Zhao Gongming was delighted. After all, the higher the threshold, the more it proved the Chaos Pearl's power.

Moreover, his Five Qi had already reached perfection, and he was at the Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. His lineage was even comparable to the Three Pure Ones' supreme Sage Lineage.

Attaining the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm was merely a matter of water flowing into a channel.

At that time, he would naturally be able to refine the Chaos Pearl and unlock some of its abilities.

"Calculating the time, Master's Saint sermon should be about to begin!"

Zhao Gongming carefully put away the Chaos Pearl. Then, transforming into a streak of golden light, he vanished from the spot in an instant.

"So this is Golden Turtle Island?"

In the Eastern Sea of the Primordial World, an island resembling an enormous golden turtle rested upon the sea. Immortal mists curled around it, cranes cried and apes called, spiritual springs dotted the land, laws flickered in and out of sight, and treasure light shot into the heavens as though it wished to illuminate the entire Eastern Sea. Faint Saintly might lingered in the air—a true sight of a Saint's sacred ground.

At that moment, four figures stood there. The leader was tall, the skin across his body flowing with the luster of spiritual treasures, while the Five Qi circulated within his chest, making him appear exceptionally sacred. Beside him were three petite women of breathtaking beauty, each with a distinct temperament. The woman in white possessed a gentle aura, her brow bones gleaming with holy radiance. The woman in green looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen, immortal spirit energy swirling around her along with Merit radiance. The youngest wore a flowing immortal skirt and had a lively, mischievous air.

These four were naturally Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies. Golden Turtle Island was now bustling beyond compare because of the Saint's sermon, with ten thousand immortals gathering in homage. There was no shortage of powerful cultivators among them, yet even amid those ten thousand immortals, Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies stood out conspicuously.

Although during the Lich Calamity, Great Luo walked everywhere and Taiyi were less than dogs!

But the Primordial World was incomparably vast. Three thousand Great Luo were like a single drop in the boundless ocean of the Primordial World.

A Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was already an overlord across hundreds of millions of li, much less four Taiyi Perfections.

"Come to my Azure Tour Palace!"

Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies made no attempt to conceal their auras. The moment they set foot on Golden Turtle Island, Tongtian Cult Leader sensed them and sent a voice transmission.

Then, amid the envious gazes of the many cultivators on Golden Turtle Island, Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies flew directly toward the island's core.

A Saint's sermon taught without discrimination, true—but there were still those near and those distant, those close and those estranged.

The closer one was to the Saint, the better the effect of listening to the Dao would naturally be.

Golden Turtle Island was likewise divided into outer regions, inner regions, and the core region.

The moment Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies set foot on the island, they flew directly toward the core region. They were clearly the Saint's personal disciples!

Such status alone was enough to make even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal experts envious.

"So these are Junior Brother Gongming and the Three Skies junior sisters?"

Outside the Azure Tour Palace in Golden Turtle Island's core region, four figures were already standing there. At their head was a plump middle-aged cultivator, an innocuous smile on his face that instinctively made others feel close to him. The moment Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies arrived outside the Azure Tour Palace, a smile appeared on his face and he stepped forward of his own accord.

Beside Duobao stood three women as well.

One wore white and had a tranquil temperament. One wore gold, golden light blooming around her body. The last wore a crimson robe, yet seemed somewhat simple and honest.

They were clearly Wudang, Jinling, and Gui Ling, the three Holy Mothers.

Before Zhao Gongming could respond, however, Gui Ling Holy Mother, who had a somewhat simple and honest air, softly said, "We entered Master's sect as personal disciples, but it seems Master has yet to rank us..."

Though she spoke quietly, everyone present heard her. The smile on Duobao's face stiffened slightly, while Wudang Holy Mother and Jinling Holy Mother remained calm.

Zhao Gongming's expression did not change, but his heart stirred.

Tongtian Cult Leader had only become a Saint recently and had accepted eight personal disciples, yet he had not ranked them. In other words, Duobao was not yet the Interception Sect's eldest senior brother.

That was only natural. After all, in the Primordial World, strength reigned supreme.

Even among a Saint's personal disciples, the same held true.

Yet from the way Duobao addressed them, he had clearly already regarded himself as the Interception Sect's eldest senior brother.

With that in mind, Zhao Gongming looked at Duobao Daoist before him, who radiated the aura of a Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortal yet called him junior brother. His expression remained calm. As the Profound Technique within his body circulated, the next instant, the terrifying pressure of a Body-Refining Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal swept across the entire area, making Duobao Daoist's expression change dramatically. Staring at Zhao Gongming, disbelief and shock appeared on his face. "Body... Body-Refining Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?"

It wasn't only Duobao. Wudang Holy Mother, Jinling Holy Mother, and Gui Ling Holy Mother all widened their eyes, their small mouths slightly agape, disbelief filling their beautiful eyes as they looked at the harmless-looking Zhao Gongming as though he were some kind of monster!

If they remembered correctly, when Master had previously mentioned Zhao Gongming, his cultivation had seemed to be only at the Mystic Immortal Realm.

Yet in such a short time, not only had his Primordial Spirit cultivation advanced to the Perfected Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, even his body-refining cultivation had reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

This, this, this! It was simply inconceivable!

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

"Junior Brother Duobao, what did you say just now?"

Zhao Gongming looked at the dumbfounded Duobao Daoist and spoke with a smile.

When you were a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, you called me junior brother, and I didn't bother arguing with you!

Now that I'm a Body-Refining Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, what should you call me?
