Starting Out as Tongtian, Lord of the Upper Purity: The Great Dao Bestowed a Blessing, Defying the Heavens in Comprehension!

The Primordial World, Kunlun Mountain.

Vast spiritual essence lingered in the skies, and the void brimmed with mysterious, lively energy.

Towering mountains pierced the clouds, while boundless mist obscured every peak. Immortal cranes occasionally cried softly as they circled overhead, and streams flowed down the slopes.

At the summit, three spheres of light were being nurtured within vast, immeasurable merit.

The Golden Light of Merit was incomparably dense. Not only did it continuously provide power to the three spheres of light, it also protected them, repelling every law and force that might hinder them.

These three spheres of light were naturally the Three Pure Ones, who had yet to take form.

They were Pangu Sect Disciples, transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit.

After Pangu opened heaven and earth, he completely perished. His body transformed into all things in the Primordial World, nurturing countless beings, while thirty percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit he received belonged entirely to the Three Pure Ones.

At that moment, ripples suddenly spread across one of the spheres of light.

"Where am I?"

"Where are my hands? Where are my feet? Why are they all gone?"

Wang Tong was utterly dumbfounded. How had one night's sleep not only made the world unfamiliar, but also turned him into something that did not even resemble a human?

As he pondered this, a fragment of memory merged into Wang Tong's mind.

The next instant, an incomparably majestic giant appeared before him. The giant swung the axe in his hand and completely split apart heaven and earth.

Scenes of Pangu opening heaven and earth, his primordial spirit transforming into the Three Pure Ones, and more flashed past.

Wang Tong finally understood his current situation.

So he had transmigrated into Tongtian, Lord of the Upper Purity, one of the Three Pure Ones?

And since the Three Pure Ones had not yet taken form, this was why he was currently in such a state.

Although he had figured out the situation, Wang Tong felt no joy whatsoever.

Tongtian, Lord of the Upper Purity, was indeed an incredibly formidable existence, but why did it have to be Tongtian?

It would have been better if he had transmigrated into Laozi of the Supreme Purity or Yuanshi of the Jade Purity!

If he remembered correctly, Tongtian's fate among the Three Pure Ones was the most miserable.

He was clearly one of the six great saints of heaven and earth, as well as the Dao Ancestor's direct disciple.

Yet during the Great Tribulation of the Gods, he gained no benefits at all. Instead, he was the only one whose lineage fell apart, and he himself was imprisoned within the Purple Cloud Palace.

The Great Tribulation of the Gods had harmed both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

But the Jie Sect had undoubtedly suffered the greatest losses.

Its many disciples were all divided up by the Heavenly Court and the Western Sect, and Tongtian failed to protect even a single disciple.

And that was not even the worst part.

The most tragic part was that it was not only his second brother Yuanshi who stabbed him in the back. Even his eldest brother Laozi betrayed the Jie Sect for the Heavenly Court.

His brothers turned against one another, while the two Western saints repeatedly suppressed and plotted against him.

In the end, the Jie Sect completely collapsed!

The glorious scene of ten thousand immortals paying homage crumbled in an instant.

After the Investiture of the Gods came Journey to the West, which had nothing to do with him at all, because by then he had already been imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace by the Dao Ancestor.

As a saint, he had ultimately lost even his own freedom.

How could the word miserable possibly be enough to describe it?

As Wang Tong thought about this, panic immediately rose in his heart.

The greater trend of the Heavenly Dao could not be defied. Even if he was not the original Tongtian, could he truly change the original outcome?

But he was certainly unwilling to simply accept his fate.

He had finally been given another life. How could he give up so easily?

Besides, he was not without opportunities. At the very least, he knew many future developments. Perhaps he could completely reverse the situation during the Investiture of the Gods.

"No! I absolutely cannot give up, but the most urgent matter is to take form as soon as possible."

"Only by getting ahead first can I stay ahead of the other saints every step of the way."

"As long as my combat power is strong enough to reach the point where even the Dao Ancestor is beneath my notice, then not even the Heavenly Dao will be able to do anything to me."

"If I want to survive in the Primordial World, I can only make myself the strongest!"

With that thought, Wang Tong did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately began devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even more vigorously.

But taking form was not so simple.

Even with the Three Pure Ones' foundations, taking form was still an extremely lengthy process.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

Yet Wang Tong showed no sign of taking form, which immediately made him anxious.

If he followed the normal course, he would eventually take form.

But this was fucking far too slow.

It would have been fine if he had not awakened his consciousness, but now that he had, he had no desire to waste tens of thousands of years here.

Yet he currently had no other solution.

Just as he was pondering a way to break the deadlock, a notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

You have successfully transmigrated to the Primordial World. Due to your unusual fortune, you have drawn the Great Dao's attention.

The Great Dao has bestowed a blessing upon you. You have successfully obtained heaven-defying comprehension!

Wang Tong was stunned. Could this be the golden finger every transmigrator possessed?

Fortunately, the world he was in was the Primordial World.

Otherwise, if he had transmigrated into another world, would he not have had to wait a hundred years?

Still, his golden finger was rather unusual. It was actually heaven-defying comprehension bestowed by the Great Dao?

At that moment, Wang Tong felt that everything between heaven and earth had become clear. All his senses had been greatly enhanced, and he could see the entire world more thoroughly.

This immediately gave Wang Tong confidence. With the golden finger aiding him, his chances of reversing the future were even greater.

What did the greater trend of the Heavenly Dao matter!

He was an Innate God favored and blessed by the Great Dao!

"Keep devouring!"

Filled with confidence, Wang Tong once more began absorbing the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His heaven-defying comprehension did not increase the speed of his absorption, but it brought Wang Tong another unexpected delight.

As you breathed in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enlightenment arose in your heart. You have successfully created the great divine ability—Nine Breaths Qi Absorption!

Due to your profound foundation and the portion of Pangu's inheritance you possess, you have automatically deduced the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill!

So that was how it was!

Wang Tong's heart shook. So this was the correct way to use heaven-defying comprehension!

The great divine ability Nine Breaths Qi Absorption could continuously draw in the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This would greatly reduce the time he needed to take form.

As for the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, there was no need to say more.

This was a cultivation method passed down by the great god Pangu. Compared to the incomplete inheritance in his memories, it was unknown how much stronger.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Tong calmed his mind and began circulating Nine Breaths Qi Absorption with complete focus.

In an instant, the spiritual energy throughout heaven and earth surged toward Wang Tong and was completely devoured by him.

This also caused his sphere of light to become radiant and dazzling.

No one knew how much time passed before vast ripples suddenly spread through the void. A towering beam of light shot into the sky from the sphere, turning the entire summit of Kunlun Mountain into a brilliant white day...
