Han Xi Breaks Through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Shore Flower Takes Human Form

"Then, Master, do you know when the Heavenly Dao will emerge?"

Qing Ya asked.

"I'm not sure, but it's still early. You need to focus on cultivation and break through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal as soon as possible. Right now, we cultivate Great Dao Laws. Once the Heavenly Dao emerges, there will no longer be Great Dao Laws to cultivate."

Xuan Qing also explained what things would be like after the Heavenly Dao emerged. Only by comprehending a trace of a Great Dao Law now could one walk the pure path of the Great Dao. Under the Heavenly Dao, there would only be Heavenly Dao Laws.

Qing Ya and the other woman had both taken human form from Spiritual Roots. Planting Spiritual Roots could not only earn merit, but also improve their comprehension of laws and accelerate their cultivation.

"Then what happens to those of us cultivating Great Dao Laws once the Heavenly Dao emerges? Won't we be unable to comprehend the Great Dao anymore?"

Han Xi looked at Xuan Qing with worry written across her face, unsure of how they should walk their future path.

"Not exactly. It will just become much more difficult. Those who possess an Innate Supreme Treasure or Great Dao Merit can still comprehend it. Our Heart Nurturing Hall has a whole pile of Great Dao Merit Spiritual Treasures, but we also need to speed up our efforts to earn merit."

After saying that, Xuan Qing led everyone in cultivating Spiritual Roots. The Acquired Spiritual Roots were left to Qing Ya and the other woman, while he and Han Xi began nurturing some Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots.

Time meant nothing in the Prehistoric Era. After countless years, the four of them had cultivated several hundred Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots, while the Acquired Spiritual Roots were too numerous to count. As a result, Xuan Qing had spawned countless portions of Creation Holy Water and was nearly worked to collapse.

The benefits were obvious as well. Xuan Qing's early Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation had completely reached perfection. He had comprehended another strand of the Law of Creation, far surpassing the scope of an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and his Law of Destiny had improved somewhat as well.

Han Xi and the other two had gained even more. With the Innate Origin Essence Qi Xuan Qing had given them, Qing Ya and the other woman had both broken through to the perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. They merely needed a long period of accumulation to comprehend laws.

Han Xi had already comprehended the Law of Yin Yang. She was originally the yin aspect of Water Origin, so it had been easy for her to comprehend the Law of Water. However, she wanted to pursue something higher. Though the Law of Water was powerful, it still could not compare to the Law of Yin Yang.

"Brother, I'm going into seclusion to break through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Wait until I come out, then we can go out together."

Before they could respond, Han Xi ran off to enter seclusion. Once Han Xi broke through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Azure Nether Island would have two Grand Luo Golden Immortals, greatly increasing Azure Nether Island's influence in the East Sea.

Seeing Han Xi go off to make her breakthrough, Qing Ya and the other woman looked envious. However, they were not in a hurry. In order to bloom better Three Flowers, they would have to endure countless years.

Since Xuan Qing had kept them busy for so long, he brought them to study delicacies instead. Earth Star had so many delicious foods—surely they had to recreate them in the Prehistoric Era and improve their meals.

Thus, Qing Ya and the other woman would occasionally enter seclusion to comprehend laws, while Xuan Qing no longer cultivated. His cultivation method was different; entering seclusion had no effect on the Law of Destiny.

The River of Destiny in the Prehistoric Era rippled. A Yin Yang Diagram appeared above the river, and a True Spirit slowly broke free from the River.

Someone else was breaking through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and it was someone who had produced a phenomenon. The Great Powers all appeared at the River of Destiny. This was also Xuan Qing's first time coming here since his breakthrough.

"Oh, Empress Wang Shu. What a coincidence!"

Seeing Wang Shu suddenly appear before him, Xuan Qing was also surprised. He had actually run into her in the River of Destiny.

"Young Friend Xuan Qing, is this little sister Han Xi making her breakthrough? Such a great phenomenon—though it is not as impressive as yours back then, it is still more spectacular than when we broke through."

"Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, who is this?"

Several Great Powers suddenly appeared before them. Qiankun saw Xuan Qing and spoke up.

"This is one of my young friends. Although he is a Daluo, he is truly extraordinary."

"Could he be the one who caused that phenomenon last time? Greetings, Fellow Daoist. May I ask how I should address you?"

Hongjun suddenly recalled the previous phenomenon. Recently, this was the only newly emerged living being who had broken through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

"This is Fellow Daoist Hongjun, the first living being of the Prehistoric Era. And that Daoist over there surrounded by Black Qi is Luohu..."

Wang Shu introduced everyone to Xuan Qing.

"Greetings, Senior Hongjun, and greetings to all seniors and fellow Daoists. This Poor Daoist is Xuan Qing. I hope everyone will look after me in the future."

Xuan Qing also courteously greeted the many Great Powers.

Suddenly, Luohu glared viciously at Xuan Qing, wishing he could slap him to death. Unfortunately, no one could make a move in the River of Destiny.

"Sigh, Senior Luohu, you were the one who caused trouble for me last time. You attacked the Formation and were injured by it, so you cannot blame me. I never made a move."

Xuan Qing pushed all blame for the previous incident onto the Formation, leaving Luohu speechless. Luohu looked at his shameless expression and did not know whether to speak. In the end, he merely snorted. He would not let him off so easily.

"Sigh, isn't this Fellow Daoist Candle Dragon? You're welcome to visit Azure Nether Island again next time. Remember to bring more gifts. And Fellow Daoist Candle Dragon, don't set your sights on the Azure Nether Island Sea again."

Candle Dragon also glared fiercely at him. He was actually provoking hatred in a setting like this. If Empress Wang Shu, a Primordial Golden Immortal, had not been standing beside him, he definitely would have retorted.

Xuan Qing threw out another taunt, leaving everyone around them dumbfounded. This man had only just broken through to Daluo, yet he had already offended so many people. Was he really not afraid?

"Enough joking around. This newly advanced Fellow Daoist is my younger sister. None of you had better set your sights on her."

Wang Shu suddenly warned everyone, lest they harbor designs on Han Xi. The others said nothing and withdrew directly. Seeing that no one remained, Xuan Qing bid Wang Shu farewell and left as well.

Back on Azure Nether Island.

Suddenly, another Yin Yang Diagram appeared above the Enlightenment Palace. Countless streams of Innate Spiritual Qi surged madly into it. As time passed, the Yin Yang Diagram slowly shrank, finally turning into a twelve-grade white flower.

Crack!

Great Dao Divine Lightning suddenly appeared and struck directly at Han Xi's Earth Flower. Han Xi quickly revealed the Great Dao Wheel behind her. The divine lightning changed direction and struck the Dao Wheel instead.

After enduring that bolt of divine lightning, the Dao Wheel dimmed considerably. It seemed to have consumed a great deal of energy, but it had not shattered. Han Xi understood that merit had offset the Great Dao's punishment, and the Twelve-grade Three Flowers had successfully condensed.

The Earth Flower gradually solidified, with the Law of Yin Yang engraved upon it. Finally, it fully bloomed, releasing the pressure of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Han Xi had broken through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Han Xi had just made her breakthrough and needed time to stabilize her cultivation, so no one was in a position to disturb her. They would celebrate for her after she emerged from seclusion.

Xuan Qing came to the lake. After so many years of cultivating Innate Spiritual Roots, the accumulation of Three Lights Divine Water could not keep up with its consumption. The water level had already fallen by a third, though fortunately, there was no longer a need for such massive consumption.

At that moment, on the other side of the lake, vast amounts of Innate Spiritual Qi began pouring into the flowers. Xuan Qing took one look and saw that the Shore Flower was about to take human form. With a wave of his hand, a mass of Three Lights Divine Water flew into the Shore Flower.

Wave after wave of soul-corroding fragrance spread out. Xuan Qing circulated his Magic Power and sealed the fragrance by Divine Water Lake, preventing it from drifting out and harming living beings below the Golden Immortal realm.

A hundred years passed, and the floral fragrance gradually faded. A mature, seductive, and bewitchingly beautiful woman appeared beside Xuan Qing. Xuan Qing examined her closely. She was in the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and her strength was quite good. Unlike Qing Ya and the others, who had taken human form early and possessed only Golden Immortal cultivation.

Having just taken human form, the Shore Flower could not restrain her own abilities. At every moment, she exuded irresistible charm, and that charm also had the effect of corroding Primordial Spirits. As expected of a Shore Flower. It was truly poisonous.

If it had been him in his previous life, he would definitely have fallen for it. Who could withstand this? She was the ultimate mature beauty. If the Shore Flower appeared in the Prehistoric Era now, few below Grand Luo Golden Immortal would be able to resist her.

"Thank you, Senior, for protecting me and helping me take human form."

The Shore Flower gave Xuan Qing a deep bow. As expected, the Shore Flower was different from the rest. Even her voice possessed the power to bewitch living beings.

"You don't need to be so formal. Just call me Master. Since I took you in, stay at my Dao Field from now on. Did you receive a Dao Bestowed Name when you took human form?"

Xuan Qing asked. If she had not received a bestowed name, he would give her a name exclusive to Azure Nether Island.

"Thank you, Master. I did not qualify to receive a bestowed name. In the darkness, I sensed that I was supposed to die. Fortunately, Master took me away last time, and that feeling disappeared."

Now that her intelligence was complete, the Shore Flower recalled her past memories with lingering fear. Perhaps this was also why the Great Dao had not bestowed her a name.

"Since your destiny has already been changed by me, and you are no longer an ordinary Shore Flower, you shall be called Qing Yue."

Xuan Qing pondered for a moment. Since the Shore Flower possessed such great charm, the phrase "a beauty that shamed the moon and flowers" suited her well. He would take the character for moon from it.

"Qing Yue thanks Master for bestowing this name. What instructions does Master have? Qing Yue will certainly obey."

"I already said there is no need to be so formal. I'm a very easygoing person. Go into seclusion first and restrain your abilities. Otherwise, the living beings in the Dao Field will suffer."

Xuan Qing shook his head. Later, he would discuss with Qing Ya and the others how to arrange things for Qing Yue.

After saying that, he brought Qing Yue to the Enlightenment Palace, chose a place for her to cultivate, and then left her alone.

It seemed that the number of living beings in Xuan Qing Dao Palace would increase in the future. The Heart Nurturing Hall currently had more than ten rooms, so housing them would not be a problem. However, Xuan Qing did not intend to take people in casually. He would not accept anyone with a Root Origin inferior to the Shore Flower's.

Still, with Xuan Qing's requirements, he would not be able to take in many people. Aside from Great Powers, few in the Prehistoric Era could meet his standards.

A Kalpa passed. Xuan Qing was lying by the lake, drinking tea, when a figure suddenly appeared and gave him a huge fright. Since he was in his Dao Field, Xuan Qing had not been on guard at all.

"Brother, drinking tea? I broke through!"

After saying that, Han Xi happily lay down beside Xuan Qing.

"You scared me to death. A breakthrough is a breakthrough, but if you keep scaring your old brother like this, you'll give him a mental illness."

Xuan Qing had completely begun treating himself as an ordinary person experiencing life, and he casually made a little joke with Han Xi.

"Can a Grand Luo Golden Immortal even get sick? Brother, do you think anyone would fall for that? Look, I have Twelve-grade Three Flowers too!"

Han Xi manifested her Three Flowers as she spoke. Sure enough, it was a white Primordial Spirit Flower, though it bore some Dao Patterns of the Law of Yin Yang.

Looking at Han Xi's Three Flowers, Xuan Qing realized that his own Three Flowers had truly mutated. They had indeed surpassed the twelve-grade range.
