Promotion to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal! Nine Secrets Lin Zi Secret!

With this thought, Qin Mu began to wait.

"I wonder what rewards this Large Red Packet will bring?"

Qin Mu was full of anticipation.

The last time he opened a Large Red Packet was right after he had formally joined Tongtian's sect and arrived at Kunlun Mountain.

Back then, opening the Large Red Packet had granted him the Treasure Fusion Scroll.

Using the Treasure Fusion Scroll, one could fuse Innate Spiritual Treasures of the same attribute and grade to advance them, up to the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

It could be considered utterly heaven-defying!

Soon, the system's response echoed in Qin Mu's mind:

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Master, on opening the Large Red Packet!]

[Reward obtained: Million-Year Mana.]

[Reward obtained: One of the Nine Secrets—the "Lin" Zi Secret.]

Hearing the system prompt, Qin Mu was stunned.

"Million-Year Mana?"

"And the Lin Zi Secret?"

"I never expected the Large Red Packet to yield such rewards!"

Qin Mu's face lit up with excitement.

This Million-Year Mana reward would save him a great deal of time spent in arduous cultivation.

As for the Lin Zi Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, it was an unparalleled supreme offensive technique from Shrouding the Heavens.

"Haha!"

"Climbing Buzhou Mountain this time has truly been a bountiful harvest!"

With that, Qin Mu didn't dawdle and directly chose to claim the rewards.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Million-Year Mana surged into his body like a tidal wave.

And as the mana poured in continuously, Qin Mu's cultivation base rose at a rapid pace.

Before long, he shot straight from Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Middle Stage to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage.

The mana continued to flow, and Qin Mu's cultivation kept climbing.

Soon, he reached the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

"Boom, boom..."

At that moment, a golden pillar of light suddenly erupted from Qin Mu's body, soaring into the sky as if connecting heaven and earth.

Then, the barrier at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Peak Stage shattered at a single touch.

Immediately after, the Three Flowers manifested above Qin Mu's head.

This was unmistakably the sign of breaking through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal—the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Soon, the "Human Flower" among the Three Flowers bloomed.

This Human Flower corresponded to the cultivator's "Essence."

It manifested as a vision of jade-like luster and celestial radiance.

Once it bloomed, it signified the perfection of the cultivator's physical body, and it was also the key to severing the seeds of reincarnation.

Ever since Qin Mu began climbing Buzhou Mountain, he had been tempering his body with the mountain's oppressive pressure.

This was precisely why his Human Flower bloomed first.

Beyond that, what surprised Qin Mu even more was this:

One of his Three Flowers converging at the crown, the Human Flower, was of no low grade—it had actually bloomed with nine petals.

This meant his Human Flower had reached the Ninth Grade.

In the Primordial World, when living beings broke through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, ordinary cultivators mostly stopped at Third Grade; Fourth to Sixth Grade marked the elite tier.

To reach Seventh Grade required an exceptionally extraordinary innate foundation.

As for Ninth Grade, it was the limit of the Heavenly Dao, attainable only by Primordial Divine Spirits.

Just as Qin Mu was condensing his Human Flower, the Five Elements Qi within his chest rapidly coalesced, forming a Five-Colored Canopy that shot into the sky.

"Boom..."

In that instant, every acupoint in Qin Mu's body opened wide, as if the primordial chaos were being split apart, allowing him to manifest a Celebration Cloud as a protective phenomenon.

Thus, under the infusion of Million-Year Mana, he formally stepped into the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, counting himself among the Great Experts of the Primordial Wilderness.

"Breakthrough!"

"Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Initial Stage!"

Qin Mu said excitedly.

He hadn't expected that, with the boost of Million-Year Mana, he would directly break through from Primordial Unity Golden Immortal to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Before Qin Mu could finish celebrating, the essence of the Lin Zi Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, surged into his sea of consciousness.

The Lin Zi Secret was a mystic art created by the Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable in Shrouding the Heavens.

When activated, it allowed one to enter the Divine Forbidden Domain, enhancing all aspects—both speed and power—enabling cross-tier combat.

Among those of the same rank, it made one an invincible existence.

Truly unmatched in offense.

"With my cultivation raised to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal."

"And obtaining a supreme secret art like the Lin Zi Secret."

"If I combine it with the Lifebound Divine Ability of the Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass, it's like adding wings to a tiger!"

"This trip to Buzhou Mountain can be called a great harvest!"

Qin Mu sighed with emotion.

After all, during this journey to Buzhou Mountain, his physical body had advanced to the fourth turn of the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.

Beyond that, his cultivation had reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level.

Moreover, he had obtained the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd.

"With my current strength, as long as no Quasi-Saint makes a move, I fear no one!"

Qin Mu said with full confidence.

At the same time, the myriad visions that had shrouded Qin Mu's head slowly dissipated.

"Time to head down the mountain!"

Then, without delay, Qin Mu made his way straight down Buzhou Mountain.

Compared to climbing up, descending the mountain was remarkably easy for Qin Mu.

After so many years, his body had long grown accustomed to the pressure of Buzhou Mountain.

Before long, he had reached the mountainside.

The Innate Formation there was still shifting and flowing.

But the Innate Gourd Vine inside had already been taken by Qin Mu.

As for the three Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Late Stage cultivators, one had been blasted to death by Qin Mu, his Primordial Spirit ground to pieces.

The other two had been sucked into the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd and long since refined into nothingness.

"I'll still need to find a way to get some Chaos Liquid later."

"Maybe it can even make the Innate Gourd Vine bear more Innate Gourds!"

Qin Mu paused briefly, muttering to himself.

When he had found the Innate Gourd Vine in the small world within the Innate Formation, only the seventh gourd remained on it.

Due to a lack of origin essence, it was difficult for it to mature.

Fortunately, Qin Mu had earlier opened a Medium Red Packet and obtained Chaos Liquid, which could repair the withered Innate Spiritual Root.

After using it, the seventh gourd matured, transforming into the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd.

After a short pause, Qin Mu composed himself and continued walking toward the foot of the mountain.

Soon, he arrived at the base of Buzhou Mountain.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Qin Mu halted his steps, two powerful auras catching his attention.

He looked closely and saw two figures standing at the entrance of Buzhou Mountain, facing each other.

Both figures were tall and imposing.

One of them, Qin Mu was not unfamiliar with—it was none other than the Great Witch of the Witch Clan, Kuafu, whom he had defeated back then.

Just as Qin Mu was sizing up Kuafu and the other person.

Kuafu and his companion also noticed Qin Mu emerging.

"It's him!"

Seeing Qin Mu, Kuafu couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Hearing Kuafu's words, the towering figure standing beside him couldn't resist taking a few more glances at Qin Mu.

At this moment, Qin Mu composed himself and walked unhurriedly toward Kuafu and the other man.

After approaching, he smiled at Kuafu in greeting, then looked at the figure standing beside him.

He could sense that this figure's body was filled with terrifying Sha Qi.

Just standing there, it caused the surrounding space to warp slightly.

Its fearsome aura was several times more powerful than Kuafu's.

Seeing Qin Mu looking at him, the burly figure suddenly erupted with overwhelming battle intent.

"This person's identity is likely no simple matter!"

"Such an aura."

"He must be a Great Witch of the Witch Clan as well."
