Honghuang: Reborn as the Taiching Elixir, Choose One of Three Traits

After transmigrating into the Primordial World, Chen Yan is stunned. Everyone else is either an Innate Demon God or a descendant of Pangu, but he has somehow become a Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill just finished in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Taishang Laozi!

On the day the pill is completed, a divine tribulation lightning bolt descends, forcing spiritual consciousness into this lifeless pill.

Looking at Taishang Laozi, who has yet to become a saint, Chen Yan seizes his chance. He immediately takes human form and pays his respects to save himself. Laozi is astonished, regards him as an unparalleled blessing and a variable of the Heavenly Dao, personally protects his cultivation, and accepts him as the founding senior disciple of the Taishang lineage!

Just as Chen Yan is preparing to cultivate under his master, his golden finger awakens and offers him a choice of three top-quality, pure-ability traits:

[Innate Daoist Body] [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] [Pill Dao Prodigy]

Chen Yan weighs the pros and cons. With the patriarch of the Xuanmen pill-making tradition backing him, even the strongest general talent would leave him indistinguishable from the crowd. His only shortcut to the highest heights is to surpass Taishang in the field he's best at!

He decisively binds himself to [Pill Dao Prodigy]!

From then on, the Primordial World loses an unremarkable third-generation Xuanmen disciple and gains a freak of the pill path who makes the gods of heaven and earth tremble.

He improves Taishang's ancient formulas and crafts top-grade pure-yang golden pills by hand.

Yuanshi praises his flawless constitution, while Tongtian marvels at his defiant Daoist heart!

The Demon Emperor wants his divine pills to reverse his bloodline. The Twelve Ancestral Witches seek his elixirs to cleanse their baleful energy. Humanity honors him as the founding guardian patriarch of the Golden Pill Great Dao.

Who says pill cultivators can only stay in the rear?

Pill energy becomes ten thousand swords, and fiery baleful energy obliterates heavenly demons!

By the end of the Witch-Demon Tribulation, while the saints are still desperately seeking merit, Chen Yan has already taken heaven and earth as his furnace and the Great Dao as his herbs. With his nine-turn pill complete, he sweeps across the myriad heavens and proves the Dao as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!
