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

"This is... Purple Rhyme Immortal Mushroom!" Zhao Gongming's breath hitched slightly.

This is formed from a branch of an innate spiritual root, and it takes ten thousand years to mature. It is an extremely rare spiritual herb in the primordial world!

It contains pure innate Yi wood energy and a wisp of original Dao rhyme, which has a miraculous effect on cleansing magical power and purifying one's origins for cultivators at the Golden Immortal level and below!

[Ding! Detected a millennium-old spiritual treasure, "Purple Rhyme Immortal Mushroom." Harvesting and consuming it will grant 500 Primordial Points. Consuming it will greatly enhance magical power and purify the host's essence!]

The system's notification confirmed his judgment and made his heart skip a beat.

500 points! That's much better than fighting to the death on the island!

Without the slightest hesitation, he carefully stepped forward, channeled his magic power to protect the roots of the immortal mushroom, and harvested it intact.

The moment the Purple Immortal Herb entered his hand, it transformed into a stream of purple-gold light, actively merging into his palm and disappearing.

The next moment, a vast and boundless life essence and pure magic power exploded within his body!

The purple-gold torrent transformed from the Purple Immortal Mushroom surged wildly along his meridians like an awakened ancient dragon. This power was extremely pure, containing the vitality of innate Yi Wood and a faint trace of the Dao's origin, far surpassing ordinary spiritual energy.

Zhao Gongming groaned, feeling every acupoint and every inch of flesh in his body trembling and cheering wildly under the impact of this power. He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately sat cross-legged on the jade ground, sinking his mind into his dantian, guiding this enormous energy to circulate through his body according to the path of the Shangqing Immortal Method.

Rumble!

Within his body, it seemed as if a tsunami and thunder were resounding. His magical power surged through his meridians like a celestial river flowing backward, and with each cycle, his magical power became more condensed and purer.

The magical foundation of the early Golden Immortal was visibly strengthened and deepened under the cleansing and replenishment of this power.

His aura surged, and azure light emanated from his body, intertwining with the purplish-gold medicinal power to form a dazzling halo that illuminated the entire cave like a dream.

[Ding! HarmonyOS Points +500!]

The system notification sounded in his mind, but Zhao Gongming had no time to pay attention to it. His entire mind was immersed in the thrill of his rapidly increasing strength, feeling his own roots undergoing an indescribable transformation under the nourishment of that trace of primordial Dao essence.

It was a sublimation from the essence of life, as if he had broken free from some invisible shackles, making him more intimate with this world.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of medicinal power was completely refined and integrated into his limbs, bones, and the depths of his primordial spirit, Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes shone with a divine light, as if a river of stars flowed within them, unfathomably deep. With a slight clench of his fist, a muffled boom resounded through the air, a result of pure physical strength.

"What a magnificent Purple Immortal Mushroom!" He stood up, feeling the surging magical power within his body, and his heart was filled with joy.

This voyage yielded far more rewards than he had imagined. Not only did his cultivation level stabilize at the peak of the early Golden Immortal stage, just one step away from the middle stage, but more importantly, his foundation was refined, making his future cultivation path much smoother.

Adding the 50 points he gained from establishing his authority, and the 10 points he received for finding several ancient scrolls in the cave, his Hongmeng Points have now reached 560.

"It's time to go back."

Zhao Gongming did not linger here. He had already taken the opportunity in this cave, and there was no point in staying any longer.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of azure light, bursting out of the cave. After determining his direction, he sped off towards Jin'ao Island.

……

Upon returning to Jin'ao Island, Zhao Gongming made no announcement and went directly back to his cave dwelling—Luofu Cave.

For the next few years, he lived a secluded life, spending most of his time in seclusion in his cave, except for occasional discussions with familiar fellow disciples.

Whether slaying monsters that invaded the East Sea territory or guiding junior brothers and sisters who came to seek his guidance, he accumulated Hongmeng Points bit by bit in an extremely low-key manner.

Time passed slowly in this tedious yet fulfilling cultivation, and his Hongmeng Points finally reached a new level on a peaceful afternoon.

HarmonyOS Points: 10800 points.

Looking at the number on the system panel, Zhao Gongming took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light. He had waited far too long for this moment.

"System, deduce the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art!" He issued the command in his mind without the slightest hesitation.

[To deduce the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art, 10000 Primordial Chaos Points are required. Confirm?]

"confirm!"

[HarmonyOS Points -10000, Deduction begins...]

Almost the instant the system notification sounded, Zhao Gongming felt his primordial spirit being violently pulled up by an indescribable force, instantly traversing time and space and arriving in an endless chaos.

There are no ups and downs, no directions, no past or future, only endless gray currents churning and colliding.

Immediately afterwards, a towering figure appeared in the center of the chaos. He held a giant axe, and with each swing, he contained the supreme Dao that created the world!

That's Pangu!

Zhao Gongming was deeply shaken. He felt as if he had become a speck of dust on the body of the great god Pangu, witnessing firsthand the supreme feat of creating the world.

That is not merely the evolution of cultivation techniques, but the inheritance of a Dao! A supreme mystery originating from chaos and transcending everything!

boom!

After an unknown amount of time, when the scene of creation finally froze, Zhao Gongming's consciousness suddenly returned to his physical body.

A torrent of insights, far more vast and domineering than any before, surged into his mind like a dam bursting open in a chaotic celestial river!

The first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art!

Become!

At this moment, the Shangqing Immortal Technique that was originally running in his body was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly replaced, merged, and sublimated by this more fundamental and powerful profound meaning of the technique!

Within his dantian, his magical power began to circulate in a completely new way. Each flow was like a miniature creation of the world. The color of his magical power, originally the celestial light of the Upper Clarity, gradually took on a faint chaotic hue, and its quality underwent a tremendous change!

At the same time, his physical body was undergoing a dramatic transformation. His bones, flesh, and internal organs... every part of him was becoming more resilient and powerful under the tempering of this chaotic Daoist energy! Ancient Daoist patterns appeared on his bones, and a faint chaotic aura flowed in his blood, as if he were about to return to his original, primordial state and revert to his primordial body!
