Primordial Era: Me, starting with the Primordial Enlightenment Tree

As time slowly passes, the number of primordial creatures gathered on the surface of the East China Sea has grown increasingly larger.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the treasure of the sea to be born.

But they were completely unaware that someone had already gotten there first and seized the initiative.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the seabed.

Tianci finally broke through the protective array surrounding Penglai Island.

Immediately afterwards, he swayed and stepped straight into the island.

Based on his thorough understanding of the primordial world, he knew that the three overseas immortal islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou were originally three fragments of chaos that evolved from each other and never belonged to the primordial world.

It has long been rumored that these three immortal islands are home to countless rare treasures and unparalleled opportunities.

"This is... the energy of chaos?"

When Tianci saw the gray air currents permeating the entire island, he was immediately stunned.

As the Enlightenment Tree born from the primordial chaos, he naturally recognized at a glance that the gray current before him was none other than the most primordial chaotic energy.

Despite his surprise, Tianci did not stop walking and continued to walk deeper into the core of the island.

Because he had already clearly sensed that the treasure destined for him was now quietly residing in the core of this immortal island.

As he traveled, Tianci lost count of how many rare and precious herbs he had seen.

Everywhere you look, there are all kinds of rare and precious medicinal herbs growing.

It should be noted that since the end of the Dragon-Han Calamity, countless spiritual veins in the prehistoric world collapsed, and the entire world suffered irreversible damage. Therefore, most of the rare spiritual herbs in the prehistoric world have long since disappeared.

It has vanished without a trace.

But on this Penglai Immortal Island, such spiritual herbs are everywhere, and each one has grown for an unimaginable number of years.

What's even more remarkable is that, because this world is filled with extremely rich chaotic spiritual energy all year round, even the same type of spiritual medicine from the same year, when grown on Penglai Island, has a medicinal power that is at least several times stronger than that of the same spiritual medicine in the outside world.

That's how it is.

Tianci traveled swiftly, heading straight for the most central location of Penglai Island.

He had already made up his mind that after he obtained the treasure that was destined for him, he would return and collect all the spiritual herbs scattered around.

If given the chance, he would even like to take all three immortal islands—Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou—for himself.

But this was ultimately just wishful thinking, because he simply didn't have a supreme spiritual treasure capable of containing these three immortal islands!

Unless one possesses a primordial chaotic space treasure like the Chaos Pearl, it would be impossible to take away even a fraction of these three immortal islands.

Tianci understood the key to this better than anyone else.

Time flows.

As Tianci approached the core of the Immortal Island, the quality of the spiritual herbs he encountered along the way became increasingly higher.

Tianci even discovered traces of innate spiritual roots several times, but he was in no hurry to harvest them. He was determined to wait until he obtained the destined treasure first.

Several days later.

Tianci finally arrived at the core of Penglai Island.

Immediately, his immense primordial spirit power spread out.

"Hmm? That bead... is it my destined one?"

Suddenly, Tianci saw a purple divine pearl that seemed to be shrouded in chaotic mist.

At this moment, it is quietly and slowly rotating.

His body was enveloped in swirling purple light.

Strands of pure chaotic energy were continuously emanating from it.

In a short while, Tianci had already made up his mind.

This item is the precious treasure I have been searching for.

"Could it... be the legendary Chaos Pearl?"

As Tianci slowly approached it, he secretly speculated in his heart.

If it really is the Chaos Pearl, then he could take away all three immortal islands—Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou—in one fell swoop!

A moment later.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Tianci walked step by step to the purple divine pearl, then reached out and steadily took it in his palm.

boom!

In that very instant!

Without warning, a surge of primordial information about this divine pearl instantly flooded into Tianci's consciousness.

After fully digesting this information.

"Haha! It really is the Chaos Pearl!"

Upon confirming that the object was indeed the Chaos Pearl, Tianci was overjoyed.

Now he can finally take all three overseas fairy islands into his possession.

Chaos Pearl: One of the four great treasures of chaos, containing a complete chaotic world within it, capable of isolating itself from the laws of heaven and earth and shielding itself from all external interference.

After the initial excitement subsided, Tianci sat down cross-legged on the spot, intending to first refine the Chaos Pearl and then, once he could control it, immediately take over all three islands of Penglai.

That's how it is.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. With the help of the system, Tianci has finally completed the initial refining of the Chaos Pearl and is now able to use its power at will.

All of this is thanks to the fact that he is the Enlightenment Tree. He and the Chaos Pearl were both born from the primordial chaos, so they can be said to be of the same origin and similar in essence. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete the initial refining in such a short time.

Meanwhile, on the surface of the East China Sea, the impending emergence of the three Penglai Islands had already attracted countless primordial creatures, all eagerly anticipating their arrival.

In the void, the Eastern King Duke and a group of cultivators from Zifu Prefecture stood suspended in mid-air, their gazes fixed intently on the depths of the East Sea beneath the surface. Meanwhile, on Penglai Island...

"As expected of the legendary Three Immortal Islands overseas, there are so many spiritual herbs here."

Tianci unleashed his immense spiritual power, carefully sensing everything on Penglai Island, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had already guessed that this world must contain countless rare and precious treasures, he was shocked to find that the quantity and quality of these treasures were far more terrifying than he had imagined when he actually saw them with his own eyes.

Ok?

That thing is...

Suddenly, under the full perception of the power of the divinely bestowed primordial spirit, a huge lotus pond appeared in his senses, and within that lotus pond, pure white lotus flowers were growing, blooming in competition and swaying with brilliance.

After Tianci flashed to the lotus pond,

"This is... the Pure White Lotus?"

Tianci recognized the origin of the white lotus at a glance; it was none other than the legendary Pure World White Lotus.

In the ancient legends, the Chaos Green Lotus once bore four lotus seeds, which eventually gave birth to four lotus platforms: the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus, the Twelve Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and the Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus.

Of these four lotus platforms, only the Creation Green Lotus and the Chaos Green Lotus have the most similar origins and have reached the level of innate supreme treasures. The other three lotus platforms are only at the level of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

In reality, Tianci, as the Hongmeng Enlightenment Divine Tree, knew that the lotus seeds produced by the Chaos Green Lotus back then were not just four, but a total of nine.

The lotus seed that gave birth to the Pure White Lotus was indeed one of these nine lotus seeds. However, when the Great Calamity of Creation descended, the Chaos Green Lotus completely shattered, and several lotus seeds were completely annihilated in the calamity. The remaining lotus seeds were scattered throughout the prehistoric world. Only the four known to the world fell into the prehistoric land, while the lotus seed of the Pure White Lotus fell into the Penglai Immortal Island, where it disappeared without a trace and was unknown to the world.

Even more astonishing is that the seed of this Pure White Lotus did not just give birth to one Pure White Lotus, but rather to an entire pond full of Pure White Lotuses.

"The Thirty-Six Grades of Pure White Lotus is actually a Primordial Treasure!"

In an instant, Tianci's gaze was fixed on the largest Pure World White Lotus in the very center of the lotus pond. This lotus had thirty-six petals, and its grade was exactly the same as the Creation Green Lotus, reaching the level of a supreme innate treasure.

Beside this thirty-six-petal Pure World White Lotus, there are four white lotuses with twelve petals, clearly top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Further out, there are nine ninth-grade Pure World White Lotuses, top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Following them are sixth-grade and third-grade white lotuses.

This is absolutely a whole pool of innate spiritual treasures!

Even with Tianci's current wealth and resources, seeing so many Pure Lotus flowers in person still filled his heart with burning passion.

Although he had previously plundered the dragon clan's treasury and reaped a great harvest, compared to the pool of pure white lotuses before him, his wealth was nothing but a drop in the ocean and completely insignificant.

"So that's how it is! It's actually the Chaos Spirit Spring and the Three Lights Divine Water. No wonder it can nurture the Thirty-Six Grade Pure World White Lotus!"

After carefully sensing his surroundings, Tianci felt instantly relieved. The reason why the Creation Green Lotus was able to reach the level of thirty-sixth grade was because it shared the same origin as the Chaos Green Lotus. And the Pure World White Lotus in front of him had actually broken through the innate shackles of the twelfth grade and reached the same level.

He quickly found the root cause.

He was shocked to discover that the water in this lotus pond was not ordinary water at all, but the renowned Three Lights Divine Water, and there was a whole pond full of it. Tianci knew all too well how heaven-defying the Three Lights Divine Water was.

That is one of the most supreme treasures in the primordial world, and can be called the most top-grade life essence water in the world. For all the spiritual herbs and innate spiritual roots in the world, it is an unparalleled nourishing treasure.

As you may recall, during the Journey to the West tribulation in later generations, Sun Wukong knocked down the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots. Guanyin Bodhisattva used only three drops of the Three Lights Divine Water to completely revive the withered Ginseng Fruit Tree. From this, one can imagine how incredibly powerful and terrifying the Three Lights Divine Water is.

Besides the pool full of the Three Lights Divine Water, Tianci also discovered a gushing spring at the edge of the lotus pond. However, unlike ordinary springs that gush out water, this spring was gushing out wisps of gray gas, which looked somewhat similar to the chaotic gas that permeated the island. But this gray gas was not ordinary chaotic gas; it was the purest chaotic spiritual energy.

The moment Tianci saw this spring, he finally understood why Penglai Island was always filled with such rich chaotic spiritual energy. It turned out that the root of all this was this chaotic spiritual spring in front of him.

This Chaos Spirit Spring is a supreme spiritual object that can only be born in the boundless chaos. It contains a trace of the origin of chaos and can endlessly gush out pure chaotic spiritual energy.

It was precisely because of the constant nourishment of the chaotic spiritual energy gushing from the Chaotic Spiritual Spring, coupled with the endless nurturing and warming of the Three Lights Divine Water in the pool, that the lotus seed of this Pure World White Lotus broke through the shackles of the innate grade, and even nurtured an entire pool of Pure World White Lotuses.

"If Penglai Island possesses such supreme treasures as the Pure White Lotus and the Three Lights Divine Water, what kind of earth-shattering opportunities might be hidden on the two immortal islands of Fangzhang and Yingzhou?"

Tianci couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart.

"Let's leave the Pure White Lotus and the Three Lights Divine Water in the pond here for now. We can come back and take them when we need them in the future."

Looking at the pool of pure white lotuses before him, Tianci did not intend to pick them now.

With his current cultivation level and physical strength at the late Quasi-Saint stage, these treasures are not of much use to him for the time being.
