Chapter 1: Transmigrating to the Primordial World, I Became an Innate Bitter Bamboo?!

Primordial World, Two Boundary Mountain!

This place lies at the junction of the east and west primordial realms; a divine peak stands tall, majestic and imposing, beyond measure.

Immortal blossoms bloom, jade grass carpets the ground!

Rosy light bursts forth, auspicious colors rise!

Amidst the veiling spiritual light filling the sky, a stalk of Innate Bitter Bamboo sways in the wind.

At this moment, Chen Ku felt utterly helpless in his heart.

"Ah… ah…"

"Others who transmigrate either become the Three Pure Ones or Nüwa."

"At the very least, they'd manage to latch onto some great primordial powerhouse."

"And yet I, after transmigrating once, have actually become a stalk of Innate Bitter Bamboo?!"

Chen Ku silently roared to the heavens, wanting to cry but with no tears.

Not bad!

Upon waking, he astonishedly discovered that he had indeed transmigrated.

Moreover, he had transmigrated into the Primordial World where myriad races stand and countless mighty ones become sages and ancestors.

Initially, Chen Ku's heart was filled with joy.

After all, in his previous life as a web‑novel enthusiast, he had long yearned for the Primordial World.

However, he soon realized he had no body.

Instead, he was this very Innate Bitter Bamboo, rooted immovably on Two Boundary Mountain.

Innate Bitter Bamboo, one of the Ten Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots, is born of the Great Dao of the Seven Emotions; its innate spiritual light is indestructible, its uses endless.

It ranks alongside the Yellow‑Mid Plum and the Human‑Shape Fruit as a famed spiritual root and immortal fruit, showing its extraordinariness.

Such a background, by ordinary standards, would already be considered quite top‑tier.

Yet Chen Ku clearly understood.

Since time immemorial, only a single stalk of Innate Bitter Bamboo has ever existed in the Primordial World, and its ultimate fate was to be discovered by Jieyin and Zhunti during their travels, then refined into the Six‑Root Pure Bamboo treasure.

Thinking of this, Chen Ku panicked instantly.

What to do?!

Must I merely wait here for Jieyin and Zhunti to arrive and be taken into the Western Sect?

And once refined by Jieyin and Zhunti, my consciousness would likely be utterly scattered.

By then, it would be equivalent to true death.

Damn it…… as fellow transmigrators, why am I so miserable?

Chen Ku sighed for a long while; at a certain moment, he finally thought of something.

"No!"

"To avoid the original ending, the only way is to hasten my transformation into human form."

"Once I can transform, I will no longer be bound by the rooted Innate Bitter Bamboo and can escape Two Boundary Mountain."

"Then let Jieyin and Zhunti come looking for me."

Chen Ku suddenly recalled that in the Primordial World, all things and all spirits can cultivate.

And as long as one cultivates to a certain realm, one can assume human form and shed the original appearance.

If I can transform into a human, I will simply slip away and flee Two Boundary Mountain.

By then, even if Jieyin and Zhunti descend here, they will notice nothing.

After all, the present Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and Jieyin and Zhunti have not yet proven the Dao and become sages.

Having made up his mind, Chen Ku immediately began to circulate his consciousness, sensing and absorbing the surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth.

Upon trying, the swaying Innate Bitter Bamboo instantly emitted specks of divine light, mysterious and wondrous.

Indeed effective!

Chen Ku felt delighted in his heart!

Fortunately, although merely a strand of consciousness, nurtured by the Primordial World's supremely perfect laws and order, he still retained the ability to cultivate.

Otherwise, he would truly be useless!

Streams of spiritual qi were drawn in; the Innate Bitter Bamboo's aura grew ever more vast, divine radiance bursting forth, shining brilliantly among the myriad spiritual roots and jade grasses.

The marvel of the Supreme Innate Spiritual Root was fully revealed!

While Chen Ku desperately absorbed spiritual qi to strengthen his own origin,

suddenly, a voice with no prior warning sounded in his mind.

【Congratulations on successfully transmigrating to the Primordial World, awakening your past‑life wisdom, and gaining heaven‑defying comprehension!】

【Due to the influx of spiritual qi into your body, you have gained insight and created the Hundred Sufferings True Scripture!】

【The Hundred Sufferings True Scripture matches you perfectly, automatically deriving the great divine ability‑Fetal Metamorphosis!】

These successive prompts left Chen Ku stunned.

He then reacted!

A golden finger?!

Not bad, not bad!

As the saying goes, every powerful transmigrator is inseparable from a golden finger at their side.

In the myriad web‑novels he had read in his previous life, various golden fingers were endlessly useful—be they systems or old grandfathers hidden in rings, etc.

Now it seems this "heaven‑defying comprehension" is his golden finger!

Regarding this, Chen Ku instantly understood its function.

Heaven-defying comprehension!

Any profound and exquisite, or abstruse as deep as an abyss cultivation method, divine ability, great art, etc., can be grasped in an extremely short time.

Imagine, other cultivators need hundreds of thousands of years to achieve what, and with my heaven-defying comprehension aiding me, I only need a few days.

Isn't this practically a cultivation cheat device?!

For Chen Ku, who wants to achieve transformation as soon as possible, this is a tremendous help.

This is great!

Chen Ku secretly rejoiced!

At the same time, two profound and mysterious light clusters also appeared in Chen Ku's sea of consciousness.

Upon subconscious sensing, he discovered that it was precisely the Hundred Sufferings True Classic cultivation method he had previously created, as well as the Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape great divine ability.

The two light clusters slowly unfolded in his mind.

One after another, profound and obscure, miraculous sensations also arose in Chen Ku's heart……

What Chen Ku first sensed was the Hundred Sufferings True Classic.

Upon sensing, Chen Ku delightedly discovered that this Hundred Sufferings True Classic was practically tailor-made for him.

This cultivation method does not require top-notch foundation or talent, etc.

On the contrary, each time he utters a cry of 'suffering', his own mana increases by one point.

Furthermore, if other strong individuals hear it, they will be invaded by the sense of sorrow and suffering into their sea of consciousness, unconsciously feeling sympathy toward Chen Ku.

It can be said that as long as the other party's cultivation does not vastly surpass Chen Ku's, they will all be affected by it.

Chen Ku raised his eyebrows slightly, overjoyed.

"This Hundred Sufferings True Classic is truly a laziness treasure manual!"

"Isn't this much easier than cultivating things like the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill and Nine Revolutions Yuan Skill?"

He sighed with satisfaction.

Immediately, he tentatively opened his mouth and sighed:

"Suffering... I suffer..."

The moment the words left his mouth, he instantly felt his mana increase by several points, exceedingly clear.

Even the innate bitter bamboo in the outside world seemed to have grown several points taller, its spiritual light becoming more blazing, its aura more profound.

"Haha... it really works!"

"Suffering... it's truly too much suffering!"

Fortunately, this Two Boundaries Mountain is rather desolate, with no strong individuals usually setting foot there.

Otherwise, Chen Ku would laugh loudly while uttering 'suffering', and those who didn't know might think he had gone into demonic cultivation and lost his mind.

After a moment, Chen Ku finally stopped repeatedly uttering 'suffering'.

He then turned to sense the Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape great divine ability.

Upon this sensing, he became even more delighted and excited.

Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape, with a single thought, can freely transform all things in heaven and earth.

It can become male or female, old or young, a divine bird or a strange beast.

It can be said that as long as Chen Ku's thoughts turn, he can possess any form, truly unpredictable.

Moreover, this Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape great divine ability is especially timely for Chen Ku at this moment.

If used for transformation, it would be twice the result with half the effort, like a fish in water.

Thus, Chen Ku gathered his scattered thoughts and began to earnestly comprehend the Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape great divine ability.

At the same time, the cries of 'suffering... suffering...' also emanated from the innate bitter bamboo.

Spiritual energy gathered, the Dao's rhythm permeated!

His consciousness sank into a vast emptiness, also making Chen Ku unaware of the passage of time.

Who knows how long it has been!

That day, the innate bitter bamboo suddenly underwent a miraculous change.

In the dark, that kind of mysterious and miraculous prompt once again surfaced in Chen Ku's mind.

【You have recited suffering ten thousand times; the Hundred Sufferings True Classic has merged into the original Dao foundation, comprehending the method of forging the Dao body!】

【You have studied the Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape great divine ability, already comprehended 10%, and suddenly awakened to the method of transformation!】

Not bad!

At this moment, the Hundred Sufferings True Classic and the Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape divine ability both received an improvement.

The opportunity for transformation also descended along with it!

"Today, transformation!"

"Haha... suffering, suffering!"

Chen Ku also could not suppress the joy and anticipation in his heart.

Under the influence of the Hundred Sufferings True Classic, his uttering 'suffering' upon speaking has almost become an unconscious habit.

As the words fell, only to see the originally wind-swaying, spirit-light-intertwined innate bitter bamboo suddenly burst forth with divine radiance filling the sky.

Whoosh......

Tens of thousands of feet of spiritual energy poured down like a waterfall from the nine heavens, cascading out and continuously pouring into the innate bitter bamboo.

Waves of purple qi circulated, reflecting each other, profound and mysterious, indescribable.

And on the bitter bamboo, every leaf shimmered brightly, with immortal spiritual light intertwined.

Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of li, it was filled with auspicious light, the mingling blending, the movement and stillness grand.

And just beneath the intertwining celestial light and divine radiance filling the sky, a figure slowly emerged.

Its whole body was shrouded in immortal light, and its true appearance could not be seen.

After a long while, the heavenly tribulation descended, dispersing the endless divine radiance.

Bolts of thunder crashed down one after another, electric light bursting and splashing.

And under the tribulation's scouring and cleansing, that figure also grew increasingly solid, finally taking complete form.

Chen Ku wore a green Daoist robe that fluttered and made sound, his face handsome, his eyes like bright stars, his gaze shining brightly.

He could be described as a stranger as beautiful as jade, a young gentleman unmatched in the world!

He lowered his head to examine himself, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation — not bad at all!"

His true form was that of a supreme-grade innate spiritual root, so upon birth he already possessed the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Such a start was not low at all.

However, Chen Ku knew that now was not the time to be pleased.

He then turned his gaze to the innate bitter bamboo, shining with divine radiance and bursting with spiritual light.

Although he had successfully taken human form, the innate bitter bamboo did not dissipate; instead, it became Chen Ku's natal spirit treasure.

He formed hand seals, and rolling surges of magical power erupted, rising and falling, blazing like flames, enveloping the entire bitter bamboo.

With the infusion of vast, abyss-like magical power, one could see within the bitter bamboo that the innate restrictions dissolved one after another, vanishing into nothingness.

Once all the innate restrictions had dissipated, this spiritual root had been completely refined by Chen Ku, becoming the Six Roots Pure Bamboo.

Once unleashed, it can seal a person's six senses, leaving them at the mercy of others.

With the refinement of his natal spirit treasure complete, Chen Ku also felt a mysterious sensation arise in his heart.

In an instant, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo flew up and fell into Chen Ku's sea of consciousness.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad!"

"Human form perfected, spirit treasure also refined."

"We shouldn't linger here any longer!"

Chen Ku was just about to slip away, making a quick getaway.

But just then, a loud laugh came from afar.

"Haha, senior brother, the spiritual light here is overwhelming, auspicious signs have just appeared; there must be some fortuitous opportunity emerging."

"This time, we two are surely going to reap astonishing gains."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Ku's expression froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
