Chaos Pearl's First Restriction, Acting Sect Leader of the Interception Sect?

"Hmm?"

Within Jade Void Palace, Saint Yuanshi sat beneath the Heavens Auspicious Cloud above his head, while the Antarctic Immortal beside him held the Pangu Banner, evolving endless Heaven-Opening Sword Qi.

Below, the Twelve Golden Immortals sat cross-legged, all deeply immersed in the sermon.

At that moment, Yuanshi sensed something and looked directly toward the River of Time. His voice abruptly fell silent.

"Thirty-Sixth-Grade Chaos Green Lotus Aspect? How is this possible?"

Even the impassive face of Primordial Lord of Heaven changed, and stormy waves rose in his heart.

Since Father God Pangu had split Heaven and Earth, Twelfth-Grade Perfect Three Flowers had never appeared. Even he had only bloomed Nine-Grade Three Flowers!

Most importantly, this being of astonishing potential had only just attained the realm of a Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

"If I could bring him into my Expounding Sect..."

Primordial Lord of Heaven's eyes lit up, and he immediately began deducing. Yet before long, he stopped, frowning in silence.

"The Heavenly Secrets are obscure. Why can't I deduce even the slightest trace of information? Could it be that this being who attained Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal has already entered another Saint's sect?"

A Saint's Primordial Spirit was lucid and clear, and a guess instinctively surfaced in his heart.

Heavenly Dao Sages controlled authority. Even if the Heavenly Secrets were obscure, it shouldn't have been impossible to deduce even the slightest information.

Clearly, another Saint had intervened and muddied the Heavenly Secrets.

For a time, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If such a being of potential didn't enter his Expounding Sect, that was one thing. But if he had entered another sect—especially the Interception Sect...

"No! Impossible. The Interception Sect is nothing but a rabble of scaled creatures and wet-born eggs!"

"The Western Land is barren. It naturally has no such fine jade and precious timber!"

"Eldest Brother is serene and detached, but he values aptitude most. He should be a disciple of Eldest Brother's Humanity Sect!"

Guesses surfaced in Yuanshi's mind, and his expression eased somewhat. Soon, he resumed his sermon. The Conflict Between the Chan and Interception Sects was imminent.

"Perfect... Perfect Three Flowers?"

In the Western Lands, Zhunti and Jieyin had been diligently repairing the shattered earth veins and spirit veins. The moment they saw the anomaly above the River of Time, the two Saints were instinctively shocked beyond measure. They exchanged glances and saw the meaning in each other's eyes. These were Perfect Three Flowers! In the future, attaining Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would likely be as natural as water flowing downhill. If they could snatch—ah, convert him into their Western Sect, why would the West need fear never rising again?

At this thought, the two Western Saints couldn't even spare attention for repairing the earth veins and spirit veins. They immediately began deducing with all their strength!

"The Heavenly Secrets are obscure? We can't deduce even the slightest trace of information? Ah, this??"

Zhunti and Jieyin were dumbfounded, but they quickly rallied again. No matter what, this being who had bloomed Perfect Three Flowers had only just attained Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

With such potential, he naturally wouldn't remain unknown in the Primordial World.

In the future, should they encounter any Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal being with an outstanding performance, whether or not he possessed Perfect Three Flowers, they would first abduct him to the Western Sect and discuss the rest afterward!

As for the disciples of the three Eastern sects, the four sects had only recently been established, and none of them yet had Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal disciples.

"Oh?"

Within Wa Sovereign Palace in the Primordial Starry Sky, Nuwa wore palace robes and lounged lazily upon a jade bed. The Red Silk Ball above her head hummed as it bloomed with rich crimson light.

At that moment, she sensed something and slowly turned her gaze toward the River of Time.

Upon seeing the phantom of that Thirty-Sixth-Grade Chaos Green Lotus, a faint stirring instinctively arose in her heart, which had remained undisturbed for countless years.

Perfect Three Flowers—what kind of potential was that?

Yet what made her even more curious was the disturbance of the Red Silk Ball.

This treasure had been bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It was the supreme treasure of marriage in the Primordial World and could bear witness to the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Could this being who had bloomed Perfect Three Flowers be connected to the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man?

Yet no matter how she deduced, she found only obscure Heavenly Secrets. For a time, a rare flicker of curiosity arose in Nuwa's heart.

Deep within the Boundless Blood Sea, Minghe Ancestor was preparing to imitate Nuwa in creating humans and establish an entirely new race.

Deep within the Northern Dark Sea, Kunpeng, the Demon Master, was racking his brains, seemingly creating writing.

Within Five Villages Temple, Red Cloud immersed his mind in comprehending the Primordial Purple Qi within his Primordial Spirit.

For a time, not only the Heavenly Dao Sages, but many Great Supernatural Beings throughout the Primordial World were stirred as well, shocked by the Chaos Green Lotus Aspect reflected upon the River of Time.

Yet after trying to deduce its origins and finding no information, they all gave up one after another.

"Whew! I've finally refined the Chaos Pearl's First Restriction!"

Within Azure Tour Palace, Zhao Gongming still had no idea that his attainment of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and condensation of Perfect Three Flowers had caused such an enormous disturbance. As he immersed his mind—

Before long, the First Restriction within the Chaos Pearl had been completely refined.

The next moment, amid a thunderous roar—

A space actually evolved within the Chaos Pearl. This space wasn't large, only the size of a house, yet it emanated boundless Dao Rhymes. Faint violet radiance shone through it, making it incomparably mysterious. Before Zhao Gongming could even wonder about it, a stream of information flooded into his mind. He froze instinctively, instantly understanding the function of the Chaos Pearl's First Restriction.

It was very simple. This house-sized space was called the Primordial Space, and its function was equally simple: it assisted in comprehending the Dao. As long as one cultivated within it, there would be no bottlenecks when breaking through realms. Even a mortal, if seated within and cultivating, could theoretically attain Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, provided there was enough time!

"Hiss!!"

Even with Zhao Gongming's exceptional temperament, he couldn't help being stunned by the Primordial Space.

In the Primordial World, different foundations meant different upper limits and bottlenecks. Although the Three Skies were Innate Divine Beings, Quasi-Sage cultivation was nearly their limit.

But as long as they cultivated in this Primordial Space, they could disregard bottleneck limits and naturally cultivate all the way to Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

How terrifying was that!

Of course, the Primordial Space wouldn't increase cultivation speed.

The bottleneck between Quasi-Sage and Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was like ascending from Earth to the moon, obstructed by the high heavens and the starry sky.

Removing those obstructions was like turning that distance into a stretch of flat ground.

Yet even without obstructions, such an immense distance still had to be crossed step by step, with one's feet firmly on the ground.

Even so, if this Primordial Space were revealed, the Great Supernatural Beings of the entire Primordial World would likely go utterly mad!

Moreover, this was only the ability of the Chaos Pearl's First Restriction. It was difficult to imagine what abilities would be unlocked after refining its Second and Third Restrictions!

Joy filled Zhao Gongming's face. With Heaven-Defying Comprehension at his side and Perfect Three Flowers already bloomed, the Primordial Space was of little use to him.

But for his three younger sisters, it was absolutely a supreme divine artifact. They now had a chance of attaining Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in the future!

"Gongming, you're awake?"

A voice interrupted Zhao Gongming's thoughts. He looked up and saw Tongtian Cult Leader standing there, his face full of smiles.

Saints stood high above all things, without sorrow or joy. Tongtian Cult Leader, who wielded the Sword Dao, was even more stern and detached.

This was the first time Zhao Gongming had seen such an expression on this Sword Dao Saint's face.

But before Zhao Gongming could speak, Tongtian Cult Leader's next words gave even him a fright.

"From this day forth, you are the foremost disciple of my Interception Sect. There is no doubt about it!"

"However, Gongming, what do you think of the position of acting sect leader of the Interception Sect?"
