Primordial Era: I, Zhao Gongming, refuse to be an experience pack.

"Which of you junior brothers and sisters would like to step up?" Zhao Gongming's voice rang out again, calm as ever, yet like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

The hundreds of disciples below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment. Those disciples who had been eager to try and full of fighting spirit before now subconsciously took a half step back.

With Xiongshan's crushing defeat looming, who would dare to go up and invite further humiliation? This is no longer a friendly exchange, but a one-sided crushing defeat!

Only Shi Ji's clear, cold eyes gleamed with an unusual light. She bit her lip lightly, seemingly struggling, but finally sighed softly and bowed to Zhao Gongming from afar: "Senior Brother's supernatural powers are vast, far beyond our reach. We have already gained a great deal from witnessing Senior Brother's divine might today, and dare not disturb you any further."

Her voice was clear and crisp, yet tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Shi Ji originally thought that she had cultivated diligently for ten thousand years and had a firm Dao heart. Although she was not as good as her senior brothers and sisters, she should be among the top in the outer sect.

But after meeting Zhao Gongming today, I realized that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people.

That seemingly casual strike contained profound truths that were beyond her current comprehension.

"In that case, let's end it here for today." Seeing this, Zhao Gongming did not insist. He had already achieved his goal of establishing his authority, and had also tested the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, gaining 50 Primordial Points, which made him quite satisfied.

He nodded slightly to the crowd, and with a flicker of his body, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the training ground, leaving behind a group of excited disciples of the Jie Sect.

After this battle, no one questioned Zhao Gongming's title of "Number One in the Outer Sect," and his reputation became unparalleled.

However, for Zhao Gongming, this was merely a trivial interlude. Upon returning to his cave, he immediately entered into deep contemplation.

"50 points... that's too few." He frowned slightly.

While sparring with fellow disciples is safe, the benefits are limited.

If you want to quickly accumulate Hongmeng Points to deduce cultivation techniques and upgrade spiritual treasures, relying on these meager amounts of money will take forever.

The shadow of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods hung over him like a sword, and he didn't have much time to waste.

"It seems we have to leave the island."

A resolute glint flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes.

Master Tongtian once said that the primordial land is vast and boundless, hiding countless ancient ruins and ancient secret realms, which are the remnants of the war between the three races and the struggle for supremacy between the witches and demons.

Opportunity and danger coexist within it; only those with great perseverance and good fortune can obtain it.

For Zhao Gongming now, this is undoubtedly the best way to obtain Hongmeng Points!

Slaying ferocious beasts, seeking rare and precious materials, exploring secret realms... all these actions are considered "opportunity events" in the system's judgment, and the rewards will definitely far exceed those from sparring with fellow disciples.

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately set off for Biyou Palace to bid farewell to his master.

……

Several days later, on the shore of the East China Sea.

A streak of blue light pierced through the clouds, revealing Zhao Gongming's figure.

He stood atop the clouds, overlooking the boundless, turbulent sea below and the winding coastline.

Based on fragmented memories from his past life and his deductions about the geography of the prehistoric world, there should be an ancient cave dwelling left behind by gods and demons somewhere on the coast of the East Sea.

The names of those gods and demons have long been lost in the river of time, but their cave dwellings have been preserved to this day due to their unique location.

He unleashed his divine senses, like an invisible net, sweeping along the coastline inch by inch.

The divine sense of a Golden Immortal is incredibly powerful; within a radius of ten thousand miles, mountains, rocks, grass, trees, fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs are all reflected in the sea of ​​the mind.

"Found it!"

About half an hour later, Zhao Gongming's gaze sharpened, locking onto an inconspicuous rocky cliff.

The cliff face, constantly eroded by the waves, is covered with moss and seashells, and looks quite ordinary.

However, in his divine perception, there was a faint energy fluctuation inside the cliff, like ripples on the surface of water, cleverly isolating a space from the outside world.

This is an extremely sophisticated concealment formation. If he hadn't possessed a powerful divine sense and hadn't deliberately searched for it, he probably wouldn't have been able to find it even after flying over it a hundred times.

Zhao Gongming flashed and landed silently on a rock in front of the cliff. He reached out and gently touched the rock face, his fingertips flowing with magical power as he carefully sensed the patterns of the formation.

"Ancient array patterns, based on the power of water element, using tides as a barrier, are quite ingenious." He nodded to himself. Although this array is not complicated, its strength lies in its integration with heaven and earth, a perfect whole.

If it were an ordinary Golden Immortal, it would probably take several years to slowly wear them down.

But for Zhao Gongming, it was not a difficult task.

"The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, open!"

With a thought, twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls emerged from between his brows, encircling his body and radiating a vast and boundless aura of water element. That aura was the source of all waters, the ancestor of all seas!

Om-!

The hidden formation on the cliff, upon sensing the aura of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, emitted a soft mournful cry, as if it had encountered a subject of a king. The tidal water elemental power it was circulating instantly became sluggish and obstructed.

Zhao Gongming seized the opportunity, flicked his finger, and a beam of pure and exquisite Shangqing Immortal Light accurately struck the weakest point of the formation.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the invisible energy ripples disintegrated like a shattered mirror, vanishing into nothingness.

A deep, dark cave entrance slowly appeared before Zhao Gongming.

An extremely rich innate spiritual energy, mixed with the aura of decay from the passage of time, rushed out of the cave entrance.

Zhao Gongming dared not be careless. He summoned a Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and hung it above his head, letting down rays of azure light to protect his body before stepping inside.

Inside the cave, there was a hidden paradise.

Beneath their feet lay a warm, smooth jade floor, while the cave walls were inlaid with unidentified luminous gemstones, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.

The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost materialized, condensing into a light white mist in the air, making each breath refreshing and invigorating.

The cave dwelling was small and its furnishings were extremely simple, consisting of only a stone platform and a stone bed.

On the stone platform, several tattered jade slips were scattered, engraved with ancient runes, seemingly fragments of some kind of cultivation technique.

Zhao Gongming casually picked up a scroll and probed it with his divine sense. He found that it contained some rather rudimentary body-refining methods, which were of little value to him, but they did give him a vague understanding of the cultivation system of ancient times.

His gaze was quickly drawn to something in the corner of the stone platform.

It was a small grass about a foot tall, with a dreamy purple color all over. On its leaves, there were specks of gold, like stars, and it was emitting circles of purple light, with a sweet fragrance.
