And on this day—
"Buzz!!"
With a soft hum, the third Great Dao Flower above Zhou Tong's head finally took complete form. The Kunpeng nurtured within the flower soared into the sky at that instant.
Afterward, countless phenomena and the Great Dao of countless races within the Human Flower and Earth Flower also rose into the heavens, following behind the Kunpeng. In the end, they transformed into mysterious patterns and branded themselves upon the Kunpeng's scales and feathers.
At that moment, sweet dew fell from the heavens, Divine Springs surged from the earth, and an immense, frigid ocean seemed to ripple through the void. Waves crashed against the sky as endless phenomena surrounded Zhou Tong, causing countless profound Dao Rhymes to emerge around him.
"Screech!!"
The Kunpeng soared through the nine heavens, its cry shaking the starfields.
In the end, the Kunpeng nurtured within the Great Dao Flower turned around and plunged back into Zhou Tong's body, completely merging with him in perfect unity.
The Great Dao Flower above his head also lost all its phenomena. Everything returned to calm and simplicity.
"True Immortal Realm perfection at last. My Kunpeng Scripture has finally reached perfection as well... Next come the Quasi-Immortal King and Immortal King realms!" Looking back on the hundred thousand years he had lived through, Zhou Tong felt a sense of ancient vicissitude rise within him.
A hundred thousand years—if this had been the later ages, it would have spanned the lifetimes of two or three Great Emperors. Yet those vast years had merely allowed him to transform one additional flower.
After becoming immortal, time and years had become worthless...
The complete transformation of the third Great Dao Flower was merely a minor interlude along his journey. Neither sorrowful nor joyful, he continued onward, heading north.
Time flowed
