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

Lin Yang immediately used the technique of burrowing underground to descend into the Zifu Continent. The deeper he went, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became, and the closer he got to the spiritual vein.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yang finally entered the spiritual vein. He took a breath and felt the surging pure spiritual energy being swallowed into his mouth.

Lin Yang was invigorated. This place was simply an unparalleled holy land for cultivation. Not only was the spiritual energy rich and pure, but what was most rare was that this spiritual energy also contained traces of chaotic primordial energy.

Although the amount is extremely small, absorbing it brings countless benefits.

If the Eastern King Duke had been conceived deep within this spiritual vein, within that mass of chaotic primordial energy, his foundation would likely have been laid extremely solidly.

If he hadn't fallen for Hongjun's big trick and become that so-called head of male immortals, and hadn't tried to dominate the world, but instead had taken a steady and pragmatic approach, his achievements might have been much greater.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the Eastern King Duke. As for Lin Yang, the fact that the Eastern King Duke was absorbing the chaotic primordial energy in the spiritual vein made him feel a little heartache.

They are both destined to meet, one arrived first and the other later. We cannot let Dong Wanggong waste this opportunity any longer.

Lin Yang even had some ideas about the Eastern King, who had already absorbed a lot of chaotic energy.

Lin Yang then sped up and headed deeper into the spiritual vein.

After a while, they arrived at the depths of the spiritual vein. Sure enough, Lin Yang saw an extremely dense mass of chaotic primordial energy there. It neither evolved into earth, water, fire, and wind, nor decomposed into innate spiritual energy. It still retained its chaotic essence and continued to churn there.

This is the primordial chaos energy, and within the primordial chaos energy, there is a faint phantom that is constantly absorbing the surrounding primordial chaos energy and condensing its own form.

Clearly, this illusory figure is the Eastern King Duke. The Eastern King Duke is the first wisp of pure Yang energy in the world. He has no physical form, but any deity must condense an innate Dao body.

What is the innate Dao body? The innate Dao body is also the human form. However, the innate Dao body comes first, and the concept of "human" is only reflected in the Three Powers at this time, referring to all living beings. Later, the "human" referred to mostly refers to the human race created by the goddess Nuwa.

The goddess Nuwa created humans from clay, and the humans she created were modeled after the innate Daoist bodies. The reason why creating humans from clay could bring great merit was that.

This is because the human race possesses an innate Dao body form, which is in harmony with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Therefore, all sorts of strange cultivators, demons, and monsters later on all need to cultivate a human body as their foundation in order to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and seize the creation of nature as quickly as possible.

Even now, the human form, or innate Dao body, has long been the mainstream in the primordial world. In particular, most innate deities instinctively forge an innate Dao body the moment they condense their physical form.

Looking at Dong Wanggong, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel evil thoughts. Because he was born in this spiritual vein and there was also chaotic primordial energy, no innate formations were generated around Dong Wanggong.

It was blatantly displayed before Lin Yang, especially since Dong Wanggong had not even completed the formation of his innate Dao body, and therefore had no power to resist.

"Ding!"

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Lin Yang's mind.

"The host has been detected to harbor ill intentions toward the Eastern King Duke, who is being nurtured in the primordial chaos. Please make the following choice."

"Option 1: Kill the nascent Dongwanggong, scatter its spiritual consciousness, and restore it to its original source as the first pure yang energy of innate nature. You will receive a map of one of the three overseas islands as a reward."

"Option 2: Possess the nascent Eastern King Duke and refine him into your second incarnation. You will receive the reward of a Primordial Golden Immortal-level cultivation technique: Pure Yang Dao Scripture."

"Option 3: Take only the primordial chaos energy without harming the Eastern King Duke, and you will receive the reward of the Primordial Golden Immortal level thunder technique: Pure Yang Divine Thunder."

After hearing the system's prompt, Lin Yang was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "System, are you trying to kill Dong Wanggong?!"

Of the three reward options, the one that best suited Lin Yang's wishes was clearly the one from which Dong Wanggong was chosen.

After all, Lin Yang came to the East China Sea to find the three overseas islands.

As for refining the Eastern King Duke into a second incarnation and gaining a powerful incarnation combat force, this was not very attractive to Lin Yang.

He already has twelve emanations of the Heavenly Kings. Besides, the Eastern King Duke is still in the gestation stage; how long will it take for him to take shape?

Lin Yang couldn't possibly wait until then.

He now needs to do everything possible to improve his strength.

Therefore, if even the second option couldn't sway Lin Yang, then the third option was even less likely to work.

If we let Dongwanggong go, then who will let him go?

Taking only the primordial chaos energy sounds nice, but clearly a cause and effect have already been created.

Lin Yang was not a pedantic person, nor would he knowingly let the Eastern King go unpunished.

So, in fact, from the moment Lin Yang infiltrated the underground and found this place, he had already planned to kill Dong Wanggong.

The choices provided by the system are merely going with the flow!

"You're too tempting, I'm sorry!" Lin Yang said.

He reached out and grabbed at the chaotic primordial energy.

Within that chaotic primordial energy, the Eastern King Duke, who was constantly taking shape, also clearly sensed the danger.

Streams of chaotic primordial energy flowed into his body at an even faster pace, making his form even more solid.

But it was too late.

Everything stopped as Lin Yang grabbed him with his large hand.

The streams of chaotic primordial energy that were continuously flowing into his body suddenly stopped.

Lin Yang killed a primordial deity who was in the process of being conceived.

In that instant, Lin Yang felt a karmic force descend upon him.

The killing of an unborn, innate deity is a sin in the eyes of Heaven, and thus karmic retribution is imposed.

Lin Yang felt the karmic force acting upon him, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

This karma isn't actually that much, especially considering Lin Yang's current cultivation level, it doesn't have much of an impact.

Lin Yang was just a little annoyed.

Ignoring that point, Lin Yang withdrew his hand, and the innate Dao body, which had been condensed in the chaotic primordial energy and was half real and half illusory, collapsed like quicksand.

"boom!"

This innate Dao body dispersed, but it returned to its original source, transforming back into a torrent of spiritual energy.

And this spiritual energy is still primordial chaos energy.

Unbeknownst to Lin Yang, he had already summoned the Chaos Gourd and released the chaotic primordial energy that had scattered due to the collapse of his innate Dao body.

The primordial chaos energy, which had not yet dissolved, was continuously drawn into the gourd.

At the same time, Lin Yang's withdrawn hand was holding a pure white gas.

This gas is the essence of the Eastern King Duke, a pure yang energy.

Moreover, it was the first wisp of pure yang energy born when heaven and earth were created.

It's incredibly nourishing!

Lin Yang could feel every pore on his body opening up, a feeling of greed, the instinct of life urging Lin Yang to swallow this pure yang energy.

"The first pure yang energy formed at the beginning of heaven and earth, plus this chaotic primordial energy, should have allowed my Great Dao to complete its first transformation, right?" Lin Yang muttered to himself.

He didn't rush to absorb the pure yang energy, but waited until the Chaos Gourd had absorbed all the chaotic primordial energy.

Lin Yang then sat down cross-legged deep within the spiritual vein. The Chaos Gourd was his treasure for proving his Dao, and the Chaos Primordial Qi that was absorbed into it was equivalent to Lin Yang absorbing it himself.

It will gradually transform into Lin Yang's magical power.

At this moment, Lin Yang also began to refine the pure Yang energy.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, instantly drawing in this pure yang energy.

Swallow it.

Refine it.

As Lin Yang refined this pure Yang energy, he immediately felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

I felt a sense of exhilaration throughout my body.

Moreover, this pure yang energy, being the first to form at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, also contains some mysteries about the creation of heaven and earth.

While Lin Yang was refining it, he also became aware of it.

In addition, refining this pure yang energy also allowed Lin Yang to master a new Great Dao Law.

The Way of Pure Yang, the Law of Pure Yang.

Like other Great Dao Laws, the Pure Yang Dao and Pure Yang Laws are also integrated into Lin Yang's own Great Dao.

Being within a spiritual vein, Lin Yang didn't need to bother gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

They could take whatever they wanted, plus the chaotic primordial energy collected by the Chaos Gourd.

However, it was more than enough for Lin Yang's cultivation needs.

And so, Lin Yang cultivated deep underground for an unknown amount of time, and that pure Yang energy had long since been refined by him.

Lin Yang is currently absorbing the chaotic primordial energy, continuously transforming this mass of chaotic primordial energy he harvested underground into his own accumulation.

His cultivation and spiritual attainment also grew stronger at the same time.

Gradually, however, it reached a critical point.

The first transformation is finally about to begin.

"Boom!!"

The spiritual energy around Lin Yang began to boil, surging into his body at an even faster rate.

The roar of the Great Dao emanated from his body, growing louder and louder.

Even various strange phenomena began to appear around Lin Yang.

And so it went on for an unknown amount of time, until finally, with a shudder from Lin Yang's body, a terrifying aura emanated from him.

Wherever that aura passed, everything became hazy, as if a chaotic replay had taken place, churning and boiling endlessly.

This was influenced by his Great Dao, the Dao of Chaos, which could assimilate everything and return everything to chaos.

However, Lin Yang's understanding of the Chaos Dao was not fully developed. Although he absorbed the chaotic energy here and gained a deeper understanding of chaos, he still could not form true chaos.

As he slowly withdrew his aura, the chaos that had been transformed under his influence also disintegrated, returning to its original form as streams of innate spiritual energy.

When Lin Yang opened his eyes, he was astonished to find that he had completed the first transformation of his own Great Dao, and his cultivation level had also advanced from the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal to the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
