Primordial Era: I am a gourd vine, starting with seven gourds combined into one.

There are quite a few unlucky people in the prehistoric world, and Hongyun is naturally ranked first, while he should probably be ranked second.

First of all, Hongyun's misfortune can be described as an undeserved disaster. When he sat on that prayer mat, no one told him it was a sacred seat. He kindly gave it to someone else, but ended up incurring a great retribution.

What's even more bizarre is that no one blamed Hongjun, the instigator, nor criticized Zhunti, the beneficiary who ignored the situation. They only said that Hongyun, the good-natured man, brought trouble upon himself.

Therefore, Hongyun was undoubtedly the unluckiest person. Dongwanggong's misfortune, however, was second only to Hongyun's. But Dongwanggong wasn't entirely innocent.

His misfortune began in the Zixiao Palace, where Hongjun appointed him as the head of all male immortals, in charge of all male immortals under heaven.

This can be seen as another trap set by Hongjun. In addition, Dongwanggong himself could not contain his ambition. He used the banner drawn up by Hongjun to recruit soldiers and horses, hoping to dominate the prehistoric world. As a result, he died in the Great Tribulation.

He died even earlier than Hongyun.

But no matter what, he is a powerful figure with a name and reputation, and his strength is considerable.

In particular, the Eastern King Duke was born from the first wisp of pure Yang energy in the world, which is quite a good background. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by Hongjun to be the head of the male immortals.

The Purple Mansion Continent is rich in spiritual energy, which has nurtured numerous rare and precious materials. It is no exaggeration to say that it is covered with spiritual roots.

Lin Yang, true to his usual style, left nothing but emptiness wherever he went. All spiritual roots were looted clean, and all rare and precious materials were taken away.

Lin Yang is now increasingly appreciating the benefits of scavenging and accumulating resources.

Although the reason why the original world was not as powerful as the previous one was largely due to the destruction caused by numerous powerful beings, it was still a problem.

At the final moment of the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Demon Ancestor Rahu fought against Hongjun in a battle between the Dao and the Demon, but he was no match for him. In the end, he detonated the spiritual veins of the Western land, causing the West to become barren.

During the Lich War, the Twelve Ancestral Witches fought a great battle against the Demon Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and others. They self-destructed one after another in the most resolute manner. In the end, Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch of Water, even rammed his head into Buzhou Mountain, causing the pillar of heaven to break.

The membrane of heaven and earth was thus damaged. Fortunately, Nuwa patched up the sky and cut down the black tortoise in the North Sea to support the sky, thus saving the universe.

But from then on, not only precious natural resources, but even spiritual energy gradually changed from innate spiritual energy to acquired spiritual energy.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Tongtian Sect Leader fought against the Four Sages and once again set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. This time, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was driven by the power of the Sages, and its power was even greater than that of Rahu.

After this battle, the primordial land was officially divided into four parts, becoming the four continents.

In the end, Tongtian Jiaozhu suffered two defeats and even had his major sect destroyed. Unable to accept defeat, he even wanted to rebuild the world and return the universe to chaos, but fortunately, Hongjun stopped him.

But after that, the last bit of vital energy in the world was finally exhausted.

Between heaven and earth, apart from the remaining innate spiritual energy in various blessed lands and grotto-heavens, almost all of it has been transformed into acquired spiritual energy.

Creatures that grow by absorbing acquired spiritual energy are also getting worse with each generation.

And these are the biggest reasons why the original primordial world gradually declined.

However, in addition to these reasons, there is also a part of the reason related to the growth and expansion of the universe.

The primordial world was created by the great god Pangu. This world is extremely vast and enormous, but even so, the entire world is actually expanding every moment.

In the beginning, when heaven and earth had just been created, the world was filled with rare and precious materials, and the spiritual energy was extremely abundant, consisting of the purest innate spiritual energy.

It can be said that just one breath can greatly increase one's cultivation level.

But as time goes on, the world expands and the universe becomes wider and wider. All the treasures in this world will slowly decompose until they eventually become various acquired things.

This also includes spiritual energy.

This is the normal process of the universe, which is what is meant by "formation, existence, decay, and emptiness".

The process is so slow that it's almost imperceptible.

But it is indeed happening.

Therefore, Lin Yang's collection of these various rare and precious materials and resources can be seen as a precautionary measure, lest they become extinct in the world when he needs them in the future.

And so, Lin Yang searched all the way to the depths of Zifu Continent, where the spiritual energy became increasingly abundant.

Lin Yang could absorb so much spiritual energy that he couldn't even keep up with it all. Such rich and pure innate spiritual energy was far superior to what was available in the outside world, so Lin Yang naturally couldn't let it go.

He simply summoned the Chaos Gourd, the Creation Cauldron, and the Twelve Heavens, devouring and plundering them all at once, storing them away.

The creatures within the Creation Cauldron also benefited greatly.

The incredibly rich and pure spiritual energy poured into the world, making them ecstatic and desperately trying to absorb it.

There was so much spiritual energy in Zifu Continent that Lin Yang was generous enough to share some with them.

The reason why the spiritual energy on Zifu Continent is so dense has long been discovered by Lin Yang: there is a huge spiritual vein beneath the surface of Zifu Continent.

This spiritual vein is also different from others. Most spiritual veins are formed by the condensation of innate spiritual energy, and the energy they release is also innate spiritual energy.

However, the energy beneath the Purple Mansion Continent is different. Although most of it is condensed from innate spiritual energy, a small portion of it is chaotic energy, or rather, primordial chaotic energy.

The chaotic energy was wild and violent, existing only outside the primordial world, separated by the membrane of heaven and earth.

Below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, no one even has the ability to set foot in it. Anyone who dares to enter will be crushed to the point of annihilation. Even Great Luo Golden Immortals cannot linger in the chaos, or they risk perishing.

Therefore, although this chaotic energy is the mother energy of all things, the origin of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it cannot be directly absorbed and transformed into magical power.

However, the primordial chaos energy is different; it is originally the energy of chaos.

However, when the world was created, the violent power was refined by the great god Pangu, leaving only pure energy. Moreover, it was not further decomposed into innate spiritual energy, and still retains a quality that is one level higher than innate spiritual energy.

In other words, primordial chaos energy is also chaotic energy, but compared to chaotic energy, it is no longer violent, but has become gentle like innate spiritual energy.

It's just that its quality is much stronger than that of innate spiritual energy.

Lin Yang also had his eye on this spiritual vein, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Lin Yang searched deep within the Purple Mansion Continent and finally found a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, which was a large bell.

Lin Yang was stunned when he saw it. If he hadn't been in Zifu Continent, he would have thought he had returned to the Sun Star and found Taiyi's Chaos Bell.

After all, there are not many bell-shaped treasures in the primordial world, and even fewer that are innate.

The bell on Zifu Continent is not the Chaos Bell, but it is still a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Its name is Chunyang Zhong.

This must be the Eastern King Duke's personal treasure. Lin Yang felt a pang of envy.

Look at these innate deities, each of them has a treasure that comes with them: Di Jun has the Hetu and Luoshu, Taiyi has the Chaos Bell, Wangshu has the Mountain and River Map, and Dongwanggong has the Pure Yang Bell.

And myself? I have nothing. If I had to count, I'd just have a handful of dirt!

As for the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, I found them myself by digging them up from the Yin-Yang Banana Tree next door.

Without comparison, there's no harm done!

Even the Yin-Yang Banana Tree, which is at least two levels lower than itself, has treasures growing alongside it.

Why shouldn't I, as one of the top ten spiritual roots, be exempt?

However, looking at the large bell in front of him, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile.

Although both are bells, the Pure Yang Bell is at best a junior compared to the Chaos Bell.

The Eastern King Duke took this bell and challenged Di Jun and Tai Yi, wanting to dominate the world. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

However, now that he has intercepted the bell, it naturally has nothing to do with the Eastern King Duke.

Lin Yang only performed a preliminary ritual on the bell before storing it in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Then they decided to continue the search.

However, he had already collected most of the treasures he could along the way, and the largest and most precious item was this Pure Yang Bell.

As for the possibility that there might be other treasures more precious than Chunyang Zhong, or even those of similar value, that is impossible.

After all, given the background of the Eastern King Duke, it would be quite remarkable to have such a pure yang bell as a companion.

If he said any more, Lin Yang would really feel resentful.

What Lin Yang wanted to search for at this moment was not any treasures, rare materials, or other things, but the Eastern King Duke.

We've found the companion spirit treasures, but where is the person? Where has the Eastern King Duke gone?

Lin Yang thought for a moment, and a thought struck him, as if he had made a guess.

"If there's any place on this island that's most suitable for him to be born, it's definitely there."

That's right, what Lin Yang was guessing was the spiritual vein underground.

When Lin Yang was on the Sun Star, he also suspected that Di Jun and Tai Yi were conceived in a deeper part of the Sun Star, in the core of the Sun Star.

However, given Lin Yang's cultivation level at the time, it was impossible for him to enter the core of the Sun Star to search.

Even so, it's about the same.

The Sun Star was formed from Pangu's left eye. If anyone could freely enter and exit its core, there would be no need to call it the Supreme Star.

Even saints cannot easily enter the core of the Sun Star.

And what about Lin Yang, who was merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the time?

Therefore, if Dijun and Taiyi were conceived in the core of the Sun Star, Lin Yang would have no way of finding them.

But Zifu Continent is different. Lin Yang can't enter the core area of ​​the Sun Star, but he can turn Zifu Continent upside down.

If the Eastern King Duke is indeed hiding deep within the spiritual veins, then finding him would be an easy task for Lin Yang.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had never seen this nascent divine being before.
