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

"Thank you for your understanding and guidance, Master!"

Zhao Gongming felt a slight sense of relief, knowing that he had passed this test. He quickly bowed and greeted the man with a sincere tone.

"Hmm." The Tongtian Sect Leader said no more about the matter, and instead said, "You have dampened the arrogance of the Chan Sect disciples today, and they will certainly not let it go. However, as long as it is not a sage who takes action, you may do as you please in this contest between peers. Remember, you are my personal disciple, the eldest outer disciple of the Jie Sect, and you do not need to bow and scrape to anyone."

"But," the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Zhao Gongming, his tone shifting to a serious expression, "you must remember, the primordial world is treacherous, far more complex than you imagine. Your second senior uncle is narrow-minded and extremely protective of his own, and those two from the Western Sect are even more treacherous, always ready to take advantage of your misfortune. You must improve your strength as quickly as possible. Only by becoming powerful can you protect yourself and your fellow disciples, and seize a chance to survive in this impending calamity."

"Disciple will follow Master's teachings!" Zhao Gongming was moved, and he could feel the heartfelt care in the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The Master of the Heavens stared at him, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He raised his hand and waved, and an ancient jade bottle appeared out of thin air, slowly floating towards Zhao Gongming.

"This bottle contains three wisps of primordial chaos energy. These were extracted from the depths of chaos when I created the world, and they are extremely precious."

"Chaotic Qi?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming was shocked and his breath caught in his throat!

"Not bad." The Tongtian Sect Master's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "This energy is infinitely profound. It can be used to temper your foundation, making your origin purer! It can also be integrated into your spiritual treasures to enhance their grade and power. Make good use of it and do not disappoint your master's expectations."

Zhao Gongming received the jade bottle with trembling hands, feeling as if the small bottle were as heavy as Mount Tai! This was the Primordial Chaos Qi! The beginning of all things, the foundation of the Great Dao! Below the level of a sage, who could obtain it? His master had actually bestowed upon him three strands at once!

This kindness is too heavy!

"Disciple...disciple kowtows to thank Master for his generous gift!" Zhao Gongming could no longer remain calm. He knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Go." The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "Remember, your path has only just begun."

Zhao Gongming suppressed his excitement, bowed respectfully once more, and carefully carried the jade bottle out of Biyou Palace.

Back in his cave, he immediately activated all the restrictions, completely isolating the entire cave from the outside world. He eagerly took out the jade bottle and uncorked it.

In an instant, an ancient, vast, and profound aura, indescribable in words, emanated from the bottle's mouth. Even a mere wisp caused the entire cave's space to distort, and the very laws of the Great Dao to retreat!

Inside the bottle, three hazy streams of air slowly swirled, seemingly the beginning of everything in the world, and also the end of all things. A single glance at them was enough to captivate the soul.

Just then, the long-silent system notification sound suddenly rang out in Zhao Gongming's mind!

[High-purity chaotic primordial substance—chaotic energy—detected!]

[Option 1: Absorb a wisp of chaotic energy to obtain 10000 Primordial Points!]

[Option Two: Using Chaos Energy for Spiritual Treasure/Base Deduction can significantly increase the success rate of deductions and has a very high probability of triggering a super-tier evolution!]

Zhao Gongming's breathing stopped completely at that moment. His mind seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, pounding violently like a drumbeat.

10,000 Hongmeng Points!

This is almost the sum of his arduous cultivation over the past century!

The temptation of being able to exchange a mere wisp of chaotic energy for such a massive amount of points is enough to drive any cultivator mad.

With these 10,000 points, he can perform a complete transformation of one of his spiritual treasures or cultivation techniques.

However, his gaze was fixed on the second option.

Super Evolution!

These four words, like the evening drum and the morning bell, resounded deep within his consciousness, each word containing boundless magic.

Zhao Gongming knew that Hongmeng Points could be accumulated slowly, but the opportunity of Chaos Qi, which was at the saint level, was something that could only be encountered by chance and could not be sought after!

Missing this opportunity might be a lifelong regret.

His path is to defy fate and carve out a way to survive in this magnificent yet deadly world!

The foundation is the root of everything!

The strength of one's foundation determines the upper limit and potential of a being's cultivation.

Although his current status as a "primordial being (ultimate)" is already at the pinnacle of the primordial realm, there is still an insurmountable barrier between him and those primordial deities who were born as early as the beginning of the primordial world or even the chaotic era, and who have survived countless calamities.

He will cross it! He will completely flatten this insurmountable barrier!

"System," Zhao Gongming took a deep breath, the hesitation in his eyes instantly replaced by a frantic determination, "I choose option two! Consume five thousand Primordial Points, using a wisp of Chaos Qi as a guide, to deduce my origins!"

[Command confirmed! 5000 Harmony Points consumed.]

[Initiating the advanced deduction based on the foundation...drawing in chaotic energy...]

The moment the cold system notification sound fell, Zhao Gongming did not hesitate at all. With a thought, he guided one of the three wisps of gray mist in the jade bottle, as if pulling a blue dragon, slowly and laboriously pulling it out of the bottle mouth!

Om-!

The moment that wisp of chaotic energy left the bottle, the entire cave suddenly sank, as if a newly created universe had descended upon it.

The laws of space are lamenting, and the river of time seems to have frozen in time.

That ancient, vast, primitive, and domineering aura was no longer a wisp of smoke, but was fully presented before Zhao Gongming.

He felt his very soul trembling, as if a mortal were looking up at the heavens, a sense of awe and insignificance that stemmed from the very essence of life.

"Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art, Revolution!"

Zhao Gongming dared not be negligent. He sat cross-legged and circulated his internal energy to its maximum. He opened his mouth and inhaled deeply, like a whale sucking in water, swallowing the wisp of chaotic energy as heavy as the ancient blue sky!

boom!!!

The moment the chaotic energy entered his body, Zhao Gongming's vision went black, and his consciousness seemed to be thrown into the endless void before the creation of the world.

There was no up or down, no four directions, no past or present, only an eternal stillness and chaos.

His physical body, his meridians, and his primordial spirit seemed to be completely assimilated and decomposed by this most fundamental power, returning to nothingness at this moment!

An indescribable, excruciating pain erupted from the depths of every particle in his body.

That was not tearing, not burning, but the ultimate pain of having one's "existence" erased!

"Hold fast to your original heart, and do not fall into the cycle of reincarnation!" Zhao Gongming roared in his heart, desperately guarding that spark of spiritual light.

At that moment, the five thousand Hongmeng Points that had been consumed transformed into a warm and vast golden current, surging out from the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, instantly enveloping his collapsing primordial spirit, and rapidly flowing throughout his limbs and bones.
