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

hum!

With a soft hum, the spiritual energy in the entire quiet room suddenly became viscous.

A high-level spirit-gathering formation has been set up!

The spiritual energy from all directions was forcibly drawn in, transforming into a visible white mist that churned and converged within the formation, causing the concentration of spiritual energy in this area to increase more than tenfold!

After doing all this, Zhao Gongming took out several thousand-year-old medicinal herbs that he had found when he went to sea.

Although these spiritual herbs are far inferior to the Purple Rhyme Immortal Mushroom, they still contain pure plant essences and are excellent aids for breakthroughs.

He placed the elixir in front of him, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art, activate!"

Boom—!

Almost the instant the cultivation technique was activated, the dormant magical power within him, like an ancient ferocious beast awakened, unleashed a deafening roar! It was no longer the ethereal and graceful Shangqing Immortal Technique, but a domineering and profound power originating from chaos!

The magical power that was originally like a river has now transformed into a raging and roaring chaotic sea, carrying an overwhelming momentum, and launching its first charge towards that invisible yet incredibly tough bottleneck of the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm!

Boom!

A deep, resounding boom, like the beating of a drum, emanated from his body.

Zhao Gongming's body trembled violently, but the bottleneck was as solid as divine iron and remained completely still.

He remained calm, as he had expected this.

Ordinary cultivation techniques might require painstaking effort and take hundreds or thousands of years, but the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art is different!

This technique follows the path of overpowering skill with brute force and sweeping away everything with unparalleled dominance!

"Again!"

He focused his mind and body, and swallowed the rich, watery spiritual energy in the spirit-gathering array. The several spiritual herbs in front of him also instantly transformed into a torrent of pure medicinal power, which he absorbed completely.

With this massive external force replenishing him, the chaotic magic power within his body became even more violent, stirring up a raging torrent that crashed against the barrier once again with unprecedented force!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Once, twice, three times...

Each impact caused his cave to tremble; if it weren't for the protective barriers, it would have already alerted the entire Golden Turtle Island.

Each impact subjected his body to immense pressure, causing stinging pain in his meridians and groaning in his bones.

However, it is precisely in this violent impact and tempering that another profound mystery of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art begins to unfold!

Strands of chaotic Daoist energy emanated from the surging magical power, not attempting to break through the bottleneck, but silently merging into his limbs and bones, into every inch of his flesh and blood, and every bone.

His physical body is undergoing a silent transformation!

On the bones and muscles, the ancient Dao patterns shone even brighter, as if they were about to emerge from the bones and be imprinted on the flesh and blood.

His blood was no longer bright red, but tinged with a faint gold, flowing with a chaotic aura. Each heartbeat was like the beating of a divine drum, filled with explosive power.

Under this hammering and forging, the stinging and pressure originally caused by impacting the bottleneck are rapidly reduced.

His physical strength increased at an incredible speed, quickly surpassing the level of an ordinary early-stage Golden Immortal, and even... faintly reaching the level of an ordinary late-stage Golden Immortal body refiner!

"break!"

Zhao Gongming suddenly let out a low roar, and his divine will, magical power, and physical strength reached a perfect unity at this moment!

Click—!

A crisp cracking sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul, rang out. The seemingly indestructible bottleneck of the mid-stage Golden Immortal finally showed a crack in the face of this terrifying trinity of power!

It's now!

Zhao Gongming seized this fleeting opportunity and unleashed all the power within him!

boom!!!

That barrier, like a stubborn rock cleaved by a divine axe, shattered with a deafening roar!

A torrent of magical power, several times stronger than before, roared into a brand new world, like a dragon breaking free from its cage!

His dantian expanded several times in an instant, and his meridians became wider and stronger.

The chaotic magical power surged within it, and with each cycle, it brought a powerful sense of control over heaven and earth.

Mid-stage Golden Immortal, achieved!

A vast aura surged from Zhao Gongming's body, instantly breaking through the restrictions of Luofu Cave and soaring into the sky!

Above Jin'ao Island, the wind and clouds changed color, and endless spiritual energy gathered, forming a huge vortex that poured into Luofu Cave, consolidating its newly broken-through realm.

[Ding! Host's cultivation level has been detected, breaking through to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal. Reward: 2000 Primordial Points!]

HarmonyOS Points: 2800 points.

The system notification sounded in his mind. Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes, and a beam of chaotic divine light shot out from his eyes, tearing a thin black crack in the void in front of him, which took a long time to heal.

He slowly raised his hand and gently clenched it.

"So... this is the power of a mid-stage Golden Immortal...?"

He felt the unprecedented and immense magical power within his body, as well as his incredibly resilient physical form, and a powerful sense of confidence welled up within him.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming is more than ten times stronger than before his breakthrough! Activating the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls will undoubtedly bring him immense power.

He knew that he had finally acquired the basic strength to protect himself in this perilous wilderness.

But that's far from enough.

In the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, all those below the level of a sage are but ants. Without achieving the status of a Great Luo Immortal, one can not escape the fate of being a pawn.

The road ahead remains long and arduous.

Zhao Gongming stood up, his gaze piercing through the cave and looking towards the endless East Sea, his eyes deep and resolute.

Although Jin'ao Island is a wonderful place, it is ultimately a comfortable haven, like a greenhouse, where towering trees that can withstand the test of time cannot be grown.

The shadow of the Investiture of the Gods loomed over him like an invisible mountain, preventing him from ever relaxing his guard. Only by being tempered in the storms of the primordial land and growing stronger through battles on the edge of life and death could he truly gain the right to contend with the heavens and earth.

"It's time to go out for a walk," he muttered to himself, a hint of determination in his voice.

After consolidating his cultivation for several days and completely controlling the surge in power, Zhao Gongming bid farewell to the disciples who were in seclusion in his cave and quietly left Jin'ao Island.

Without alerting anyone, including the Three Immortal Maidens, he transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the vast and boundless primordial continent.

Above the East China Sea, the waters are vast and misty, dotted with numerous fairy islands, and filled with spiritual energy.

However, Zhao Gongming's heart had already flown to that vast land where danger and opportunity coexisted. His goal was clear: to find opportunities to obtain Primordial Points while honing his skills and fully unleashing the power of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art in actual combat.

Along his journey, he witnessed the magnificence and cruelty of the primordial world. There were towering sacred mountains that pierced the clouds, where celestial birds sang and spirit monkeys offered fruit! There were also vast swamps that stretched for thousands of miles, filled with poisonous miasma, where ferocious beasts that had lived for countless years lurked, and a single misstep could lead to death and the annihilation of one's soul.
