Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Jin'ao Island, Xuandu Cave.

The chaotic energy 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, and the chaotic martial arts runes beneath his skin slowly disappeared, returning to silence.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Two beams of chaotic light flashed in his eyes, like the first ray of light at the beginning of 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 came from deep within his brow.

That was the resonance of the Chaos Pearl being completely refined and all forty-nine Chaos Restrictions submitting.

A flicker of barely suppressed excitement crossed Xuan Du's eyes.

"It's done."

He muttered to himself in a low voice, his voice calm, but his fingertips trembled slightly.

A century-long plan, proceeding step by step.

Destroy Laozi's Humanist Cult, slay Nuwa, gather Qi and fortune, subdue Fuxi, absorb the Styx River, spread martial arts, awaken humanity, and accelerate the restoration of the Underworld...

Everything we do is for today.

All of these are the chaotic treasures that disappeared after the creation of the world and were hidden in the depths of the Blood Sea for billions of yuan!

Chaos Pearl!

He slowly raised his hand, palm facing up.

"Buzz!"

A wisp of chaotic light flowed quietly 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 became deeper and its patterns more mysterious.

Ultimately, it transformed into a fist-sized, chaotic-colored pearl with endless star trails flowing across its surface.

It is the Chaos Pearl!

The crack that ran through the pearl was still clearly visible, like an eternal scar, telling the tragic story of the creation calamity.

But at this moment, the chaotic Daoist aura emanating from the pearl was purer and more vast than ever before!

The forty-nine chaotic restrictions have been completely refined, and Xuandu and the Chaos Pearl are now connected in spirit and mind, as if they were his own limbs.

"To conceal the secrets of heaven, to obscure the great path..."

Xuan Du's gaze narrowed slightly, and his thoughts stirred.

"Buzz!"

The surface of the Chaos Pearl shimmered with light, and an invisible yet profoundly mysterious chaotic fluctuation quietly spread out.

Wherever the fluctuations passed, Xuan Du was enveloped in a vast, boundless primordial Dao aura, a soaring martial will, and the blessing of fortune originating from billions of humans and the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect...

All auras were completely concealed!

No, it's not about convergence.

Instead... it was completely covered and concealed by the chaotic fluctuations emitted by the Chaos Pearl!

At this moment, Xuan Du's aura was as ordinary as that of a 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 a Grandmaster of Primordial Chaos, nor the sharpness of a martial arts ancestor.

He seemed to be just an ordinary Taoist practitioner on the shores of the East China Sea.

"good!"

Xuan Du's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The Chaos Pearl's ability to conceal one's aura far exceeded his expectations!

With this pearl on his person, even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself came, he would not be able to easily find out his true cultivation level or true whereabouts!

What does this mean?

This means that from now on, Xuandu... has the confidence to truly contend with the saints and even secretly plot against them!

A great calamity is about to begin, the secrets of heaven are in chaos, and all the sages are surrounding us.

Yuanshi, Jieyin and Zhunti, Nuwa, Laozi... all these people wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Furthermore, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun sits high in the Zixiao Palace, overlooking the primordial world and in charge of order.

Without the means to conceal the secrets of heaven, every step he takes will be exposed to the sage's watchful eye.

But now...

"With the Chaos Pearl in hand, where in this vast primordial world cannot I go?"

Xuan Du's lips slowly curled into a cold smile.

But this wasn't what he valued most about the Chaos Pearl.

His mind started racing again.

"open."

A single word uttered softly, like a decree from the Great Dao.

"boom!"

On the surface of the Chaos Pearl, the crack that ran through it suddenly shone brightly!

Endless chaotic energy surged from the crack, intertwining and evolving above Xuandu's palm, eventually transforming into an illusory portal.

Beyond the portal lay neither the walls of a cave nor the chaotic flow of void.

Instead, it was a vast, boundless, and strangely colored world!

At the center of the world, mountains and rivers are faintly visible, and the earth, fire, water and wind flow slowly. There are also the illusory images of the sun, moon and stars rotating, evolving the primordial Daoist rhythm before the creation of heaven and earth.

It is the chaotic world contained within the Chaos Pearl!

"really......"

Xuan Du's eyes burned as he gazed at that chaotic world.

As one of the four great treasures of chaos, the Chaos Pearl contains a complete chaotic world that can generate its own laws and evolve all things.

More importantly... the flow of time 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 will, its blood and qi are like dragons, and its fighting spirit soars to the sky, its foundation is still shallow.

After a century of cultivation, there are over ten thousand True Immortals, nearly a million Celestial Immortals, and quite a few Mysterious Immortals and Golden Immortals.

Such speed would be considered astonishing by any race in the prehistoric world.

But for Xuandu... it's still not enough!

Far from enough!

The final battle against the Lich King is about to begin, and the end of the Great Calamity is approaching.

At that time, not only will the demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array be fully activated, but also the saints will secretly join forces to lay a trap.

If humanity wants to truly rise in this great calamity that is sweeping across the world and truly escape its fate as a pawn... it must possess greater strength and more powerful individuals!

The Chaos Pearl World is the greatest opportunity for humanity!

"pity......"

Xuan Du's gaze swept over that chaotic 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 Pearl and the deficiency in its origin, the evolution of the laws of this world is still incomplete. Mountains and rivers are floating, earth, fire, water, and wind are stagnant, and the rotation of the sun, moon, and stars is also dim.

"The damage caused by the creation calamity ultimately affected the very origin of this world."

Xuandu muttered to himself.

With the Chaos Pearl damaged, the chaotic world within it was naturally also affected.

Insufficient spiritual energy concentration and incomplete evolution of laws are indeed a major drawback for cultivation.

but......

"For the human race at present... that's enough."

Xuan Du's eyes shone even brighter.

Humans cultivate martial arts, tempering their blood and qi, and refining their will. Their dependence on spiritual energy is far lower than that of immortal cultivators.

The essence of martial arts training lies in unlocking one's own potential and breaking free from the constraints of the physical body.

Spiritual energy is merely an auxiliary factor, not the fundamental one.

Even if the spiritual energy concentration in the Chaos Pearl world is similar to that in the outside world, the difference in the flow of time by a hundred or a thousand times... is an enormous advantage!

What is a year outside is a hundred or a thousand years inside!

With this accumulation of time, how much will the strength of the human race increase?

"not to mention......"

With a slight thought, Xuan Du's martial arts runes shimmered and flowed deep within his Purple Mansion.

"I can draw upon my own primordial Daoist essence to empower the laws of this realm and accelerate its evolution."

"It can also mobilize the fortune of the Jie Sect and the fortune of the human race to nourish the origin of this world."

"Given time... this realm may well regain the power that the Chaos Treasures should possess!"

With this in mind, Xuandu no longer hesitated.

He suddenly stood up, his blue robes fluttering without wind, the primordial Daoist energy flowing naturally.

"Buzz!"

The Chaos Pearl hung in front of him, its body shimmering with light. The illusory portal expanded once more, transforming into a chaotic light gate about ten feet high.

Beyond the portal, the chaotic world became increasingly clear.

Mountains and rivers solidify, earth, fire, water, and wind surge, and the sun, moon, and stars revolve... Although still seemingly ethereal, it has already begun to take shape as a world.

"And so it begins in this world..."

Xuan Du muttered to himself and took a step forward.

"Whoosh."

His figure disappeared into the portal of light in an instant.
