Chapter 31: Western Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner, Chaos Supreme Treasure Appears!

A pale gold banner fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

On the banner, profound Dao patterns covered it, with misty vapor permeating.

This is the Western Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner, one of the Five Direction Banners!

Western Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner—marvelous phenomena shrouded in mist, heaven and earth illuminated, all evils retreat, myriad laws cannot invade.

Duo Bao rejoiced, instantly arriving before the Cloud Realm Banner, reaching out to seize it.

But at that moment, he discovered a strange object.

Beneath the Cloud Realm Banner, in a small spiritual pool, floated a jet-black pearl.

The pearl's surface appeared utterly ordinary, not conspicuous at all.

Yet it emitted strands of pure Chaos Qi.

At the same time, it also possessed strong spatial power, and even worldly power.

Duo Bao was greatly astonished.

He deployed his Double Pupil Treasure Technique.

He saw the pearl's surface clearly.

Countless profound patterns, not belonging to this world, covered it, crisscrossing, extraordinarily profound.

Duo Bao grew even more astonished; after a moment's thought, he made a big grabbing motion.

The pearl was instantly drawn into his hand.

Hum! At that very instant.

Numerous unfamiliar, complex messages surged into his brow, which he instantly received.

After a while, Duo Bao suddenly widened his eyes, incredulously gazing at the pearl in his hand.

"Chaos Pearl!!"

What he hadn't expected was that the pearl in his hand was actually one of the four supreme treasures held by Pangu—the Chaos Pearl.

Pangu's Divine Axe, the Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Green Lotus, the Creation Jade Disc, and the Chaos Pearl are the four supreme treasures in Pangu's possession; each possesses astonishing talent and beauty, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

The Chaos Pearl is one of the four Chaos Supreme Treasures, born within Chaos, containing within itself a Chaos world; it is a Great Dao–level treasure, with eighty-one layers of seals.

It is said the Chaos Pearl can conceal all heavenly secrets, hide itself, and its interior also hides a small world; possessing the Chaos Pearl allows one to evade Heavenly Dao tribulations.

When Pangu opened heaven, the Chaos Pearl evaded the Great Calamity of Opening Heaven, wandering beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths, its whereabouts unknown.

"I never imagined it would be hiding here; no wonder this place's formation can be elevated to a Heavenly Dao–level Primordial Grand Formation, guarded by Chaos power!"

Duo Bao suddenly understood!

His face broke into a brilliant smile.

Chaos Pearl!

It possesses the powerful ability to evade Heavenly Dao probing and block all deductions.

Moreover, inside it lies a realm of Chaos, but its rules are not recognized by the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, the Chaos Pearl now clearly bears the influence of the Opening Heaven Great Calamity; its surface is covered with cracks, and its rank has fallen from Chaos Supreme Treasure to become a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Yet in the Primordial Era, it remains a top-tier treasure.

This harvest is enormous.

Not only did he collect all Five Direction Banners, but he also obtained a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Duo Bao was overjoyed beyond expectation.

He immediately stored the Cloud Realm Banner, glanced around, and realized that although this place is near the sky‑covering Mount Sumeru, it is extremely concealed.

Moreover, the spiritual energy is extremely abundant; cultivating here will surely yield twice the result with half the effort.

He also had no intention of returning to Jin'ao Island.

"Let me achieve Taiyi Golden Immortality right here!" With that thought, Duo Bao waved his hand and repaired this top‑grade Primordial Grand Formation.

In an instant he was inside the formation; plus the boost from his treasure robe, his entire aura vanished from this place in a moment.

Immediately he sat cross‑legged, intending to summon the Five Direction Banners and refine and fuse them one by one.

But soon he turned his gaze to the Chaos Pearl in his hand, showing a contemplative expression.

For some reason, he always felt that the Chaos Pearl held an opportunity for him.

Moreover, this opportunity is no inferior to that of the Cloud Realm Banner.

After hesitating a moment, Duo Bao decided to first obtain that opportunity before speaking.

Immediately, with a thought, he transformed into a strand of green smoke and drilled into the Chaos Pearl.

And just as his aura vanished here in that instant.

The leader who had been gradually approaching this place suddenly halted.

He stared ahead, face full of shock and disbelief.

"He disappeared?" Duo Bao's aura had actually vanished.

"What on earth happened?" "Report to the chief: we, the subordinates, discovered a Primordial Grand Formation encircled by Chaos Qi in a place ten thousand li ahead!"

At that moment, the scout cultivator who had gone ahead returned to report.

The leader gave a noncommittal nod.

He had also discovered that formation earlier.

He simply paid it no heed.

Now it seems Duo Bao's disappearance is closely related to that formation.

Could it be that person's opportunity?

If so, then don't blame me for seizing love with a drawn blade! "Go!"

But what the leader didn't know was that above their heads.

Just then, two figures stood tall and imposing in the void.

Their faces likewise bore surprise.

"Second Uncle, he disappeared—how could this happen?"

Ao Zixin's face was full of anxiety.

She even wanted to personally go look around.

The Candle Dragon waved a hand to stop Ao Zixin's rash action.

"Niece, that brat must have entered the Innate Grand Formation; even I, the ancestor, find it strange—what kind of opportunity did he actually obtain?!"

The Candle Dragon simply didn't care about those people below.

But he took great interest in Duobao's opportunity.

Being able to conceal the investigation of this top-tier Great Luo Golden Immortal shows how powerful that opportunity is.

He never imagined that Duobao himself could evade the investigation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Immediately, the uncle and nephew vanished from this region.

"Chief, this is that Innate Grand Formation!"

Ten thousand li away, they arrived in an instant.

That chief and his entourage finally saw the great formation surrounded by chaotic qi, all showing delight and greed.

Especially that chief, who was exceedingly excited.

"Break the formation, that opportunity shall be mine!"

"As ordered!"

Boom, boom, boom! Yet inside the formation, it was silent, without a sound.

Only a dark pearl hovered within it.

And within the world inside the pearl.

"Is this the world inside the Chaos Pearl?"

Duobao stared in amazement at the gray, hazy world before him.

In this world, chaotic qi is everywhere, extremely pure, and extremely peaceful, without explosions or chaotic gales.

Everywhere are the aura of chaos laws and spatial laws.

What made Duobao ecstatic was that here there was also yin-yang and the power of the five elements, intertwining together to sustain this chaos world.

And at the deepest part of this world, the central region.

There existed a small world.

It is a small world still within the chaos, an expanse of chaos, in a dormant state.

It floats like an egg, silently drifting, as if it will sleep forever.

But this is not Duobao's opportunity at the moment.

Duobao's opportunity is actually the omnipresent power of time in this world! Here, one year equals one day outside!!

That is to say, in this world, time flows a hundred times faster than outside.

This dispelled Duobao's final worries completely.

He would no longer worry that, when refining the Five Directions Banner and advancing to Taiyi Golden Immortal, he would be disturbed by the sudden return of Zhunti and Jieyin from the West.

Here he can cultivate with peace of mind; perhaps, before the second lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace ends, he could become a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Upon thinking this, he no longer hesitated and produced the Five Directions Banner!!
