As the day of the divine tribulation drew ever closer, a layer of red light enveloped the world.
The Shang Dynasty in the human world also welcomed its last monarch.
Yin Shou successfully ascended to power, and Wen Zhong, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, became the Grand Tutor, second only to the Emperor.
The Tongtian Sect Leader may have regarded Wen Zhong as a discarded pawn of the Jie Sect, after all, he had already written his name on the Investiture of the Gods.
However, he underestimated Wen Zhong's network of connections within the Jie Sect.
In the future, it was this guy who dragged the entire Jie Sect into an abyss...
Even earlier, a man named Shen Gongbao and another named Jiang Shang joined Kunlun Yuxu Palace together...
Several years later, the third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect were born in response to the mandate.
Meanwhile, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, welcomed his second son.
He named him Ji Fa.
Ji Fa's origins are not simple either; his previous incarnation was Lady Jin De.
Ji Chang was the reincarnation of Taiyi.
The former couple has become father and son in this life.
Ji Fa is destined to be the future human king, while Lady Jin De possesses the aura of a human emperor. Her reincarnation as the future human king is also a manifestation of the evolution of human destiny...
The calamity is about to begin; those destined for it will return to their places...
However, this had little to do with Hu Le. As long as he was careful not to let anyone drag his disciples into the calamity, he would have no more worries.
After these days of stimulation and evolution, the primordial embryo within the purple bamboo staff gradually took shape.
From that moment on, this acquired Dao-proving artifact began its journey towards becoming an acquired Primordial Spiritual Treasure...
He stored the purple bamboo staff inside his body and used his magical power and primordial spirit to nourish it.
Next, he took out the Chaos Bell and the Cosmic Light Diagram and placed the two spiritual treasures in front of him.
After comprehending the Primordial Parasitic Technique and the Primordial Embryo of the Spiritual Treasure, he understood the wonders of the Primordial Spiritual Treasure. He not only learned the wonderful method of nurturing the Primordial Embryo after birth, but also understood how to advance the original spiritual treasure to the innate Primordial state.
However, not all innate treasures and spiritual treasures are qualified to take the next step and become primordial spiritual treasures.
After all, this is a leap to the innate grade, which ordinary spiritual treasures and supreme treasures simply do not have.
The advancement of a spiritual treasure's grade is also a huge test for the treasure. Success will elevate its divine power to a higher level, but failure may cause the entire innate divine restriction of the spiritual treasure to collapse.
Even if an innate spiritual treasure possesses the ability to self-recover, once all the divine restrictions collapse, it would probably take countless eons to fully restore it...
Hu Le examined the various innate spiritual treasures in his hands and found that only two were qualified to go further and achieve the Primordial Primordial Embryo.
One of them is the Chaos Bell, and the other is the Cosmic Light Chart.
In his view, only these two spiritual treasures were qualified to go further. As for the other spiritual treasures, their power after being unleashed might be good, but their innate origins all had various shortcomings and they were not compatible with the innate primordial spiritual treasures.
The Cosmic Light Diagram was originally a treasure of gods and demons in the primordial chaos. It was born from the primordial chaos and has the potential to advance further, both in terms of its origin and its foundation. If one has enough opportunity, advancing to the level of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure is not difficult.
As for the Chaos Bell, it was originally a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation, and in terms of power and wonder, it was no less than those primordial spiritual treasures.
The only way for this treasure to advance further is to become a Primordial Treasure, which would be in accordance with his wishes.
However, advancing the Chaos Bell to become a Primordial Treasure is countless times more difficult than transforming the Cosmic Light Diagram into a Primordial Spiritual Treasure...
While the Heaven-Opening Axe is undoubtedly a top-tier primordial treasure, the Chaos Bell is ultimately only one-third of its differentiated form...
Of course, as a creation treasure, the Chaos Bell inherently contains the merits of creation and has a decent foundation, but it is not so easy to become a primordial treasure.
How many Primordial Treasures are there in the entire Primordial Chaos? The number is probably similar to that of the Primordial Treasures in the Great Wilderness.
However, it would be very difficult for a Primordial Treasure or a Primordial Spiritual Treasure to become a Primordial Treasure without the creation of the Primordial Great Dao.
This is where we need to use something, which is the panacea in the cultivation world, namely merit.
With enough merit, Hu Le could forcibly upgrade the Chaos Bell's grade, evolving it into a Primordial Treasure.
However, the amount of merit required for the Chaos Bell to do so would be astronomical.
Since he began cultivating the Tao, he has used eight or nine out of ten of the merits he has gained, except for the merits he used to prove the Tao of Hunyuan Wuji, he has refined most of them into a treasure of acquired merit.
If he wants to upgrade the Chaos Bell, he will have to make a choice.
At the very least, the Chaos Xuanhuang Merit Cloud should be dispersed and allowed to return to its origin before all merits are injected into the origin of the Chaos Bell.
Through this, one can communicate with the primordial Dao in the darkness, borrow the power of the Dao, and create a primordial embryo.
Is it really worth it?
It should be noted that acquired merit treasures are rare even in the entire primordial chaos, and their numbers are even fewer than those of primordial treasures.
In terms of defensive capabilities, even some Primordial Treasures might not be able to match it.
It's no joke that as long as you have such a treasure above your head, you'll be invincible from the start.
This explanation also applies to the myriad worlds that evolved from the primordial chaos...
Hu Le stared at the Chaos Bell, pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision.
He finally decided to take the gamble.
He already possessed the Chaos Bell, a supreme defensive treasure, so he wouldn't be any less fortunate than having a Merit Cloud.
However, the Chaos Bell only has one chance to leapfrog its quality.
He also wanted to see how many mysteries would emerge after the Chaos Bell became a primordial treasure.
In his mind, once the Chaos Bell successfully advances and becomes a primordial treasure like the Heaven-Opening Axe, he can freely use the power of the Primordial Great Dao with this treasure.
That's the most fundamental difference compared to the Chaos Bell's current ability to only mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao.
At that time, no matter how sharp the Heaven-Opening Axe is, the Chaos Bell, as a supreme treasure of the same level, should be able to withstand the Heaven-Opening Axe's strike.
Besides that, what he values most is that once the Chaos Bell becomes a primordial treasure and gives birth to the primordial embryo, he can also use it to comprehend the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.
In the future, his path to achieving the Heavenly Dao, transcendence, or even the realm of creation should be much smoother.
After all, the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos was still something he could only dream of but never reach at this time.
If one cultivates step by step, one may only be qualified to come into contact with the primordial Dao when one reaches the Dao Integration stage and attempts to break through to the Transcendental Realm...
Now, as long as the Chaos Bell successfully advances, he can be the first to come into contact with the Primordial Dao. If he fails to seize this opportunity, he will be unworthy of being called a Primordial Saint.
Let alone using the Merit Cloud to create the Chaos Bell, even if he were asked to give up the Merit Cloud in exchange for the opportunity to comprehend and control the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, he would discard the Merit Cloud without hesitation.
While the treasures of acquired merit are precious, they are ultimately not as sweet as the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.
Besides, it's not like he's being asked to destroy the Merit Cloud for nothing; it's just being used to create the Chaos Bell...
