After absorbing all the pollen from one tree, the Kirin True Fate's body and spirit both began to ascend.
Unfortunately, this tree's grade was not high enough, so it only brought about a slight ascension.
Fortunately, there were two more trees nearby. After waiting several days, Zhou Tong finally had the Kirin True Fate continue absorbing the pollen produced by those two trees' blossoms.
Unfortunately, those two trees were only mediocre as well. After absorbing all their pollen, the Kirin True Fate only barely broke the first "lock" at the heart, taking the first step of evolution. It could barely be said to have glimpsed the Lock Realm, but the later locks remained beyond its reach for now.
Of course, relying purely on the Breathing Method could also forcibly break free of the locks, though the process would be much slower.
"These locks are rather interesting. Only after breaking them can the Kirin True Fate's innate treasure art gradually manifest and become its divine ability." Though only the first lock had been broken, a portion of the Kirin Treasure Art's power could already be unleashed.
More importantly, this portion of the Kirin Treasure Art that had emerged had already developed certain differences from the orthodox Kirin Treasure Art.
Everything it had experienced during body refinement, as well as the Breathing Method it cultivated, had influenced the Kirin Treasure Art and caused some changes within it.
