Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 58 The Primordial Measuring Ruler: The Foundation of the Celestial Court

As Zhao Gongming activated the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, this top-tier spatial treasure unleashed its immense power.

"Splash!"

The stagnant and wastewater in the enormous lake were subjected to an unprecedented pulling force, continuously surging into the Hunyuan Golden Bucket.

In about fifteen minutes, the entire lake's water was filled into the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

The water was drained, revealing the riverbed, and the stench disappeared.

Immediately following was a surge of supreme and mysterious energy.

Zhao Gongming looked closely and saw a grand innate formation beneath the riverbed, rotating slightly at an extremely slow speed.

Just as Zhao Gongming was about to break the formation based on the array techniques taught by Tongtian, he frowned.

"This innate grand formation seems to have been formed primarily from an innate embryo, with subsequent processing."

Zhao Gongming secretly pondered, "If that's the case..."

Then it can no longer be called a pre-heaven grand formation, but should be called a post-heaven grand formation.

"You all go outside to protect me. If any unauthorized people come near, drive them away."

Zhao Gongming gave Liu Er a word of advice, then jumped directly into the riverbed and began to concentrate on breaking the formation.

He had never seen such a grand formation that combined innate and acquired elements before.

Zhao Gongming secretly guessed that this innate grand formation must contain the foundation and accumulation of the Celestial Court.

Zhao Gongming shook his head and began to concentrate on breaking the great formation.

Time flies, a hundred years have passed, and thanks to Zhao Gongming's tireless efforts, the great formation was finally broken.

Beneath the riverbed, the innate grand formation emitted a tremendous roar, then transformed into streams of light and slowly dissipated.

Then, a dark hole was revealed.

Zhao Gongming summoned Liu Er, Hei Shui Xuan She, and Xiao Hei Hu, and summoned the Wu Ji Xing Huang Banner for protection before slowly walking deeper into the cave.

Not long after entering the cave, suddenly, an incredibly rich innate spiritual energy rushed towards them.

Countless elixirs and spiritual herbs appeared before Zhao Gongming's eyes, growing vigorously, emerald green and crystal clear, with thick branches and leaves.

"So many top-grade medicinal herbs!"

"Hurry up and take them, they're all yours. After you take them, I can refine them into pills for you to consume."

Zhao Gongming did not accept the offer, but instead gave the opportunity to Liu Er and the other two.

When Liu Er and the other two heard that the immortal herbs and spiritual roots would be given to them, and that Zhao Gongming would even help them refine them into pills, they became excited.

With lightning speed and overwhelming force, they began to frantically collect the loot.

In the blink of an eye, all the immortal herbs and spiritual roots in the cave were harvested.

"There are more treasures ahead."

Zhao Gongming continued leading Liu Er and the others on their way.

Soon, they arrived at what seemed to be a pill-refining room.

Countless jade bottles were neatly arranged, containing everything from elixirs used by mortal immortals and celestial immortals to elixirs useful to Great Luo Golden Immortals.

To this, Zhao Gongming had only four words: "Sweep it all away!"

Continuing onward, Zhao Gongming discovered a large quantity of standard-issue armor.

These armors were jet black and heavy, very imposing, and engraved with mysterious Taoist patterns.

Although it doesn't quite reach the level of a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, it is still a rare and exquisite magical artifact.

Zhao Gongming immediately recognized that this was something the Eastern King Duke used to train the Heavenly Army after establishing the Celestial Court.

However, the Celestial Court has been destroyed, and the Eastern King has perished, so it is no longer needed.

Zhao Gongming accepted everything and continued forward, only to discover that inside was a huge armory.

Besides a large number of excellent magical artifacts, and that batch of armor,

It also contains a large number of acquired spiritual treasures, and even quite a few innate spiritual treasures.

Zhao Gongming accepted this without question.

Of course, what surprised Zhao Gongming the most was that there was also a bottle of Chaos Essence in the armory.

This is the same thing that Zhao Gongming used to help the Three Immortals of Sanxiao overcome their tribulations; it is a top-tier healing elixir from the primordial world.

It's even slightly better than the Three Lights Divine Water.

As expected of the Celestial Court, its foundation is indeed profound and unbelievable!

Zhao Gongming was secretly amazed. Although the Immortal Court's foundation was not as profound as that of the Dragon Clan, it was still enough to make even a Quasi-Saint cultivator extremely envious.

Zhao Gongming collected all the resources and magical artifacts, and after a thorough inspection, found nothing else.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, the Treasure Coin inside Zhao Gongming's body began to vibrate slightly, emitting a faint pulling force.

"There's more treasure?"

Zhao Gongming was taken aback. The Treasure-Dropping Coin dropped all the treasures in the world.

As long as one has enough luck, one can acquire innate treasures, and even fall into the trap of greed.

There is a mysterious connection between the Fallen Treasure Coin and the Spirit Treasure.

The falling treasure coins are shaking right now. Could there be hidden treasures in this cave?

With a thought, Zhao Gongming unleashed his immense primordial spirit power to examine the matter closely.

Finally, at the deepest part of the cave entrance, a mysterious feeling was detected again.

"break!"

Zhao Gongming concentrated his Taiyi magical power in his palm and struck the stone wall deep inside the cave entrance.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar erupted, raising a cloud of dust, and the stone wall was shattered to pieces by Zhao Gongming's palm strike.

Stone dust fell in a flurry, revealing a stone platform.

On the stone platform, there was a golden object.

"This is."

Zhao Gongming's pupils contracted slightly, and a huge wave of emotion surged within him!

On the stone platform, there was a ruler about a foot long, entirely dark yellow, and shrouded in supreme chaotic energy!

The golden ruler, enveloped in a chaotic aura, emitted a dazzling seven-colored divine light, illuminating all directions.

Zhao Gongming rotated his palm slightly, channeling his magic power to dispel the chaotic energy surrounding the ruler.

On the body of the ruler are two large characters written in the divine runes of the Great Dao.

"Measuring the heavens!"

Based on the shape of the ruler and the Dao runes on it, Zhao Gongming was able to confirm that the object before him was indeed the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

"I doubt anyone would have imagined that such a treasure as the Primordial Measuring Ruler would be hidden beneath the ruins of Zifu Continent. It's simply unbelievable."

Even now, Zhao Gongming still couldn't calm down.

What is the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler?

It is a treasure of acquired merit, and together with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, it is known as the two great treasures of acquired merit.

Its offensive power is unparalleled; it kills without incurring any karmic consequences, and its power is immense.

Together with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure, one is offensive and the other defensive; in terms of level, they are roughly equivalent to top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

However, in terms of actual power, it is even stronger than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

It is roughly between the innate supreme treasure and the top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

These are secondary; most importantly, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler also serves to set standards.

Zhao Gongming was overjoyed and forgot to collect the measuring ruler.

With a thought, a large basket of peaches and a small handful of Enlightenment Tea fell into the hands of Liu Er and his two companions.

"Thank you, teacher [master]." Liu Er and the other two were already used to it. After thanking them, they quickly divided the items into three portions and put them away.

After Zhao Gongming accepted the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, he entered the Mud Palace Pill.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler pushed aside most of the positions of the Falling Treasure Coin and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, placing it only behind the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl, thus demonstrating its status.
