"Ding! Downloading [Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation] succeeded. Would the host like to use it?"
As Jiang Chen sacrificed two spiritual treasures and merit, the download progress rapidly climbed.
In just a few breaths, the system actually announced that the download was complete!
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised and delighted, though he also felt it was within reason.
Given the amount of merit he had obtained earlier, although he had sacrificed only one-tenth of it, it was still more than enough to let him break through to Grand Unity. It made sense that the download had completed so quickly.
"Use it!"
Now that the download was complete, he naturally had to use it.
Boom!
As Jiang Chen spoke, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heavens and earth erupted, surging into his body like a whale swallowing water. An incomparably powerful aura gradually rose!
"This is... Grand Unity Golden Immortal?!"
Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of the others. Kuafu, who was eating meat, also realized Jiang Chen's current state.
What he could not understand was that Jiang Chen seemed not to have cultivated at all, yet had suddenly broken through!
However, what he did not know was that there was something even more astonishing to come!
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the winds and clouds changed. A river both illusory and real faintly appeared in the sky!
The River of Fate!
As everyone knew, whenever a living being attained the Dao of Grand Unity, the River of Fate would appear. As long as one transcended the River of Fate, one would become an undying Grand Unity Immortal, eternally free throughout all space and time!
At that moment, the figure of a young man suddenly appeared above the River of Fate. He looked down upon all things, endless majesty radiating from his body. It was unmistakably Jiang Chen's reflection!
Once the reflection appeared, it leaped directly out of the River of Fate and fell into Jiang Chen's body!
Boom!
In an instant, Jiang Chen's aura surged explosively, and his Perfected Grand Master Golden Immortal cultivation broke through!
Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
After his cultivation broke through, the Five Qi surged within Jiang Chen. A field of azure auspicious clouds condensed above his head, with a budding azure flower at its center!
Five Qi Towards Origin, Three Flowers Gathering Atop!
Seeing this, Jiang Chen seemed to think of something and hurriedly said, "Sacrifice one-fifth of the merit to accelerate the download of [Great Witch Physique]. Use it immediately once the download is complete!"
Attaining the Dao of Grand Unity and manifesting the Three Flowers Gathering Atop also indicated a person's aptitude. The more petals the flower condensed, the higher the aptitude!
Take the Three Pure Ones, for example. They possessed the physique of Top-tier Innate Divine Spirits and had been transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Thus, when they attained the Dao of Grand Unity, their flowers bloomed to seven petals!
A seven-petaled flower already signified the aptitude to become a Saint!
And that was indeed the case. The Three Pure Ones had now all become Saints!
Although Jiang Chen had downloaded Tongtian's physique of a Top-tier Innate Divine Spirit and had also absorbed some of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, he ultimately could not compare with the Three Pure Ones. Barring accidents, the Three Flowers he condensed this time would probably bloom to only six petals. Thus, for the sake of his aptitude, he immediately thought of the Great Witch Physique that was currently being downloaded!
He did not have a complete Pangu's Primordial Spirit, but he did have Pangu's Essence Blood!
"Ding! Sacrifice successful. The download speed of [Great Witch Physique] has been increased!"

In less than three seconds, the Great Witch Physique had finished downloading!
Since Jiang Chen had given instructions beforehand, the moment the download was complete, blood filled with boundless pressure and baleful energy instantly appeared within his body!
It was unmistakably the Great Witch Physique!
At the same time, the flower bud above his head slowly began to bloom!
One petal!
Two petals!
Three petals!
Four petals!
Five petals!
Six petals!
The flower bud, which had originally bloomed to six petals, had already stopped progressing. Yet, after the Great Witch Physique merged with him, a seventh flower began to unfold!
Seven petals!
Eight petals!
In the blink of an eye, the eighth petal bloomed!
An eight-petaled flower!
This had clearly surpassed the Three Pure Ones. Across the entire Primordial World, perhaps only Hongjun had reached such a level!
Likewise, this meant that Jiang Chen now possessed not only the aptitude to become a Saint, but also aptitude surpassing that of a Saint!
However, Jiang Chen was not satisfied. What he sought was the Great Dao. Eight petals were not what he wanted!
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen poured all his remaining merit into it!
Merit had infinite uses, so it should also be useful for condensing the Three Flowers!
Boom!
As he had expected, when Jiang Chen poured the boundless merit within his body into it, his Great Witch Physique and Innate God physique seemed to undergo some kind of fusion. The eight-petaled flower suddenly shone brightly, radiating boundless light!
Under the horrified gazes of everyone present, the ninth petal slowly stirred before unfolding from its bud!
At this point, the flower had bloomed to nine petals!!
Nine was the ultimate number among single digits. Looking across the Primordial World, there was probably no one who could surpass Jiang Chen at this moment!
"The... the flower bloomed to nine petals?!"
Ao Yu and Kuafu cried out in shock.
Of everyone present, only the two of them had enough knowledge to understand what a nine-petaled flower meant. It was no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen's aptitude was the greatest in the Primordial World!
We must befriend him!
We absolutely must befriend him!
The same thought arose in both their hearts.
Ao Yu, in particular, breathed a sigh of relief. As Jiang Chen's mount, she had no need to consider any of that. Thinking of this, she could not help feeling that her father's earlier actions had been wise!
Kuafu, on the other hand, was frantically thinking about how to draw himself closer to Jiang Chen.
The Witch-Demon races were currently opposed to each other, and they were precisely in need of assistance. That was why they had become allies of the Human Race. Now that he had personally witnessed Jiang Chen's aptitude, which was likely the greatest in the Primordial World, Kuafu naturally had to do everything possible to befriend him for the sake of the future.
Returning to Jiang Chen.
At this moment, he was both surprised and delighted.
His cultivation had broken through, he had attained the Dao of Grand Unity, his aptitude had improved, and his flower had bloomed to nine petals!
All of this filled him with immense joy. More importantly, this was only the result of completing the download of the Great Witch Physique and using boundless merit. If he downloaded the Essence Blood of the Twelve Ancestral Magi, he believed his aptitude would become even higher!
With the Human Race's destiny and the Interception Sect's destiny jointly supporting him, Jiang Chen seemed to have received the favor of the Great Dao. In an instant, it was as though all his wishes were coming true!
Whatever he thought of came to pass!
As it happened, just when Jiang Chen had the thought of downloading Pangu's Essence Blood, Kuafu's voice suddenly rang out!
"I never expected fellow Daoist to possess such aptitude. It seems I, Kuafu, underestimated you. I wonder if fellow Daoist would be willing to return to the Witch Race with me?"
After racking his brains, Kuafu still could not think of any other way. After all, he was simple and straightforward by nature. Otherwise, in later generations, he would not have stubbornly chased after the sun and been killed in return.
Thus, he could only think of first inviting Jiang Chen to visit the Witch Race as a guest, then telling the Ancestral Magi about Jiang Chen's aptitude and having them interact with Jiang Chen directly.
