Seeing Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown

But now, all three islands had been looted clean.

Not even a decent immortal herb was left behind.

How could he bear this?

If they had obtained the opportunities of the three islands, the Immortal Court could truly rise.

With endless resources in hand, all the immortals would flock to them.

They wouldn't have to suffer the humiliation of being beaten away after trying to recruit Hongyun.

But now, it was all gone.

"Ahhh, I'm not reconciled! Why is this happening..."

Eastern Prince Gong was like a madman, roaring and weeping.

Queen Mother of the West collapsed onto the ground as if her body had fallen apart.

Such an opportunity had been snatched away.

They didn't even know who their opponent was.

It was utterly suffocating.

The two of them were dejected for months.

One day.

"Brother Dao, although the treasures of the three islands are lost, these three islands are rare grotto-heavens!"

Queen Mother of the West said, looking at Eastern Prince Gong.

Their cave mansion was in Western Kunlun, located in the Western Lands, barren and desolate.

How could it compare to these Three Immortal Islands?

Hearing this, Eastern Prince Gong's eyes lit up.

"Mother of the West speaks wisely! If we build our dojo here, it will be far better than Western Kunlun!"

He nodded repeatedly.

This was the only harvest they had left.

With these three islands as the foundation for building their dojo, the Immortal Court would have a place to settle, and this trip would not be in vain.

Afterward.

Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West became busy.

Building dojos on the three islands was a massive undertaking.

They needed to set up grand defensive formations on Fangzhang, Penglai, and Yingzhou to enhance their defenses.

They also needed to build teleportation arrays to connect the three islands.

Otherwise, flying across the three islands would take at least half a year.

With teleportation arrays, it would only take the time for a cup of tea to travel between them.

Meanwhile.

The great powers of the Great Desolation arrived at the East Sea one after another.

Soon, the Three Pure Ones found the immortal island of Yingzhou.

"Eldest Brother, this island is covered by a formation!"

Yuanshi looked at Yingzhou, extremely excited.

"Haha, this is the opportunity for the three of us! Quickly break the formation and go to the island to search for treasures!"

Taishang Laojun laughed heartily.

Tongtian's joy was also evident on his face, and he activated the Qingping Sword to attack the island-protecting formation.

On the other side.

Dijun and Taiyi discovered the immortal island of Fangzhang.

The island was also covered by an island-protecting formation.

As the Demon Emperor, they expected such a treasure land to be protected by powerful formations, which was only natural.

This indicated that the opportunity had not yet been taken.

And so...

BOOM!

Dijun and Taiyi attacked the formation with all their might, intending to go to the immortal island of Fangzhang to seek the legendary opportunity.

At the same time, Nuwa and Fuxi's gazes fell upon another immortal realm – the immortal island of Penglai.

At this moment, Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West were busy on this island, working on setting up the defensive formation to protect it.

Previously, they had successfully set up protective formations for the other two immortal islands and had established teleportation channels between the three islands.

Once the formation of Penglai Island was complete, their dojo could be declared finished.

At that time, they would summon the Great Desolation immortals in the Immortal Court to gather here, and this place would become their base.

However, just then, a sudden loud noise shattered the peace—

BOOM!

The unfinished island-protecting formation was violently bombarded by an external force.

"Who dares?"

"You're simply seeking your own death!"

Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West shouted in unison, their killing intent chilling.

Someone actually dared to be so bold as to attack their island-protecting formation.

Swish! Swish!

A gap appeared in the formation, and Nuwa and Fuxi's figures emerged from within.

Upon seeing Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

They had originally thought this was an undeveloped treasure island, but unexpectedly, it had already been claimed by Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West.

"Nuwa, Fuxi, why are you destroying the formation of my Immortal Court without reason?"

Eastern Prince Gong, his face full of rage, questioned Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoists, treasures of the Great Desolation have always gone to those fated to receive them. Although you arrived first, we also have the right to seek opportunities here!"

Nuwa's tone was calm, showing no concern.

In her eyes, Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West were nothing to be trifled with.

Even if these two were the leaders of the immortal path personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so what?

She and Fuxi, as members of the Demon Clan, were never bound by the immortal path.

"Since that's the case, then let's settle this with our fists!"

Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Eastern Prince Gong's anger intensified.

Over the years, he had suffered many setbacks, and his temperament had become somewhat twisted.

In the past, even when great powers of the Great Desolation competed for treasures, they wouldn't easily resort to fighting.

But the current Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West, having faced repeated blows, had changed their tempers drastically.

Without hesitation, they unleashed their magic treasures and attacked Nuwa and Fuxi.

Seeing their aggressive approach, Nuwa and Fuxi were not ones to be easily bullied, and they immediately engaged in battle, clashing fiercely with Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West.

How could Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West possibly defeat Nuwa, let alone with Fuxi, whose strength was not inferior to theirs, by her side?

In just a moment, the two began to show signs of defeat.

At this point, their minds cleared slightly, and they wanted to stop, but Nuwa wouldn't let them off easily.

This was the perfect opportunity to drive Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West away, allowing her and Fuxi to enjoy the opportunities on the entire immortal island alone.

Seeing that they couldn't resist, Eastern Prince Gong exchanged a look with Queen Mother of the West, and they transformed into two streams of light, fleeing into the depths of Penglai Island.

Within the island lay the teleportation formations they had previously set up.

The two planned to retreat to the other two immortal islands first to avoid the immediate conflict.

After all, this immortal island had already been thoroughly searched, and Nuwa and Fuxi wouldn't gain anything by staying here.

Whoosh!

With a flash of light, Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West instantly teleported away.

However—

Upon arriving at another immortal island, misfortune struck again.

They were first severely beaten by Dijun and Taiyi.

Then, they used all their strength to escape through a teleportation formation to Yingzhou Island.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Three Pure Ones here.

These Three Pure Ones were not to be trifled with; each was a great power who would one day lead a sect.

Their methods were ruthless, and their minds were exceptionally sharp, far beyond ordinary mortals.

As expected, Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West were beaten soundly by the Three Pure Ones once again.

At this point, Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West were in a sorry state.

Across the three immortal islands, they had spent countless efforts setting up protective formations and teleportation channels.

Yet now, they couldn't hold onto a single one.

Not to mention enduring several beatings in succession.

"Ahhh—!"

Eastern Prince Gong had completely lost his mind.

Queen Mother of the West was also beaten black and blue. She stared at Eastern Prince Gong, a chilling glint in her eyes.

She recalled that ever since they were hailed as the leaders of male and female immortals, she hadn't had a single peaceful day.

She had rushed around for the Immortal Court, yet couldn't even control a few Great Desolation immortals.

What was even more infuriating was being repeatedly humiliated by the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Dijun, and others.

How could she possibly establish herself in the Great Desolation from now on?

Thinking this, Queen Mother of the West no longer wished to associate with Eastern Prince Gong. She transformed into a stream of light and shot straight towards Western Kunlun.

Eastern Prince Gong, meanwhile, crazily left this place of trouble, vowing never to set foot on the East Sea Immortal Islands again in this life.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, and others searched the three immortal islands from top to bottom, but they didn't find even a single decent treasure.

Whether it was spiritual roots, immortal herbs, immortal fruits, or magic treasures, they had all been taken long ago.

"It must be Eastern Prince Gong and the others who took all the treasures!"

"We absolutely cannot let these two go. They monopolized so many treasures, they must hand them over!"

"Let's go find Eastern Prince Gong to settle the score. The treasures of the Great Desolation belong to everyone, how can they hoard them privately!"

Everyone had witnessed Eastern Prince Gong and the two appearing on the Three Immortal Islands.

If they hadn't taken the great opportunities on the islands, then who else could it have been?

Following the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Dijun, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe, and other Great Desolation powerful beings also discovered the Three Immortal Islands one after another.

But the islands were empty. Naturally, their expressions were far from pleasant.

Hearing that the opportunities on the three islands were all obtained by Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West, the powerful beings decided to find the two to demand their share.

It could be imagined that the days ahead for Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West would only be more miserable.

Meanwhile.

Hongyun, who was in seclusion in Fire Cloud Cave, suddenly stopped cultivating.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully causing trouble for the target and receiving a system reward: Mythical Grand Unity Technique: External Incarnation!"

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

"Haha, the system reward is here!"

Hongyun heard the voice and grinned, feeling quite pleased.

This meant that Eastern Prince Gong and Queen Mother of the West must have been thoroughly tricked by him.

Otherwise, how would the system have judged the trouble-making as successful?

"Mythical Grand Unity Technique: External Incarnation?"

Hongyun's mind moved, and he sensed the system's reward.

This time, it wasn't a cultivation method, nor a spiritual treasure or root, but a technique.

However, this technique was extraordinarily powerful. After all, it bore the name "Mythical Grand Unity," far surpassing ordinary heavenly destiny divine abilities.

Hongyun carefully studied it. Three days later, he finally understood it completely.

It turned out that this Mythical Grand Unity Technique could refine an incarnation.

But this incarnation was very different from ordinary clone techniques.

Ordinary clone techniques in the Great Desolation were commonplace and not rare at all.

Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Severing the Three Corpses technique was far inferior to this Mythical Grand Unity incarnation.

The good corpse, evil corpse, and self-corpse refined by Severing the Three Corpses all had independent consciousness.

This was its biggest drawback.

However, the incarnation from the Mythical Grand Unity Technique was different; it had no self-awareness.

It could only act in the Great Desolation when the main body personally controlled it.

There would never be a hidden danger of the clone vying for dominance with the main body, or even backlashing against the main body.

This was simply astonishing.

There were absolutely no absurd situations like this with the incarnation from the Mythical Grand Unity Technique.

Furthermore, ordinary clone techniques produced clones of varying strengths.

Some only possessed thirty percent of the main body's combat power, while others had barely half.

But the incarnation from the Mythical Grand Unity Technique was indistinguishable from the main body.

Not only was the strength completely the same, but even the aura was no different. Even a Saint would find it difficult to distinguish.

In this regard, it bore some resemblance to Old Ancestor Minghe's Netherworld Blood Sea.

If Minghe were to perish outside, he could be reborn from the Blood Sea.

After rebirth, his strength and aura would be identical to his original self.

It could even be said that it would be him, in person.

This Mythical Grand Unity Technique worked the same way; his consciousness would attach to the incarnation, and the incarnation would be Hongyun.

When his consciousness returned to his main body, the main body would be Hongyun.

The two would never exist simultaneously.

If the incarnation perished, his consciousness would return to his main body.

"This Mythical Grand Unity Technique truly suits my preferences!"

Hongyun was extremely satisfied.

"However, the cultivation conditions are indeed harsh!"

He then sighed with some emotion.

Not just anyone could forge such an incarnation.

It required an extremely vast amount of spiritual energy to support it.

Fortunately, he controlled ninety percent of the Netherworld Blood Sea, so the spiritual energy was so abundant that he had no need to worry.

"I'll break through to the first level of Mythical Grand Unity Method Foundation Establishment first!"

Hongyun got up.

Although the external incarnation was marvelous, reaching Foundation Establishment first level would make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

With all preparations made, Hongyun had now reached his peak.

His physical body's flower had bloomed eighteen petals, and his Primordial Spirit's flower had also bloomed eighteen petals, perfectly complete.

Since returning from the East Sea, he had been diligently studying the laws of the Devouring Divine Ability, and the law flower had increased from twelve petals to sixteen, a remarkable improvement.

With such a foundation, Hongyun was full of confidence that he could break through the bottleneck of Mythical Foundation Establishment in one go.

Rumble!

Hongyun released all the aura within his body.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, it was as if thunder roared and lightning flashed, an extraordinary spectacle.

An boundless might emanated from him, an oppressive feeling that was suffocating.

Although his current realm was still Grand Unity peak, his combat power was already on par with a Three Corpses expert who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

Chichichichi!

A moment later, three differently colored flowers appeared above Hongyun's head.

The crimson one was the law flower, the dark one was the physical body flower, and the bright white one was the Primordial Spirit flower.

In the blink of an eye, each of the three flowers bloomed over ten petals, dazzling and brilliant.

But this was not yet the extreme.

"Rise!"

Hongyun let out a fierce roar, and his bloodline, Primordial Spirit, and law power simultaneously operated to their peak.

Half an hour later, the results manifested.

The law flower settled at sixteen petals.

The physical body flower bloomed eighteen petals.

The Primordial Spirit flower also had eighteen petals, flawless.

"Gather!"

The three flowers above his head slowly converged.

"Condense!"

Hongyun shouted again, his voice shaking the cave dwelling.

The Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown transformed into the embryo of the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

Chichichichi!

The three flowers withered and perished at an astonishing speed.

Three days later, fifty-two withered petals gave birth to a fruit the size of an infant.

This fruit was multicolored, with complex patterns on its surface, flowing with Dao rhymes and emitting a primal chaos aura.

This was the Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit!

Buzz!

Hongyun's aura surged dramatically at this moment.

The terrifying pressure almost blew the Fire Cloud Cave apart.

Fortunately, he restrained himself in time; otherwise, the restrictions he had previously set would not have been able to withstand this power.

"It's done, Foundation Establishment first level!"

Hongyun opened his eyes, Dao rhymes flowing within them, profound and unfathomable.
