Time passed slowly as Zhou Tong's Kirin True Fate cultivated at an unhurried pace.
Lacking the necessary pollen, he could only advance slowly. This was especially true in the Lock Realm, where breaking the shackles within the human body required even greater care. On the surface, the Lock Realm seemed to have only a dozen or so shackles, making it easy to charge through; yet the shackles within a divine body numbered well over a hundred.
To truly attain perfection, he had to completely dissolve every shackle within his body, leaving not a single one behind.
This was the step that truly consumed a great deal of Zhou Tong's time.
At last, he caused the ancestral root of the Pollen Path to take root and sprout once more, blooming into brilliant flowers.
After absorbing the flowers, Zhou Tong's Kirin True Fate finally broke free of all the shackles throughout its body and successfully advanced into the most crucial realm—the Carefree Realm!!
"Next comes the Carefree Realm. In this realm, one must first purify oneself into a blank sheet of paper, retaining only the energy within the body, before splashing ink upon that blank paper to paint." Zhou Tong silently pondered the nature of this realm.
The Carefree Realm was a very special realm. The strength of the Pollen Path diverged here, as everything in this realm depended on one's individual talent. Those of extraordinary talent could splash ink to create vast landscapes and countless star rivers; those lacking in talent might only be able to paint a few simple flowers, plants, and trees.
Of course, the painted scroll only represented one's upper limit. Future performance would still depend on the cultivator himself.
Some painted powerful scrolls, yet might not necessarily be able to wield their corresponding power in the future.
