When the Myriad Races Expert saw the Flower of Grand Luo above Kong Xuan's head, their hearts trembled.
Even Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Jieyin wore stunned expressions.
Ten Petal Bloom?
Could it be that Kong Xuan's innate foundation had already surpassed theirs?
Or had he obtained some unimaginable opportunity within Hongmeng Palace?
"What is going on?"
"The ten-petal bloom still hasn't stopped?"
"What is this?"
"Look, another petal has bloomed! Eleven petals!"
"..."
The expressions on the faces of the Myriad Races Expert were beyond description.
Around Kong Xuan, the Five Elements Law swirled. A wisp of Five Elements Origin merged into the Flower of Grand Luo, radiating an astonishing aura.
"Twelve petals!"
"It's still blooming!"
"What is happening? Could the Nine Extremes Number we knew before have been false?"
"That's impossible! When the Dao Ancestor explained the Dao of Grand Luo, he said that nine was the ultimate number!"
"Exactly! Why could Kong Xuan transcend the Nine Extremes Number? The Flower of Grand Luo has actually bloomed twelve petals?"
"Shh... it isn't twelve petals yet. It's still blooming!"
"What?"
"..."
At this moment, the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Expert all fell silent. The entire sky instantly became utterly quiet.
It was not that they did not wish to speak, but that they truly did not know what to say.
The Flower of Grand Luo above Kong Xuan continued to bloom.
Twelve petals!
Thirteen petals!
Fourteen petals!
Fifteen petals!
"Could Kong Xuan possess talent greater than us Saints?"
"Big Brother, was there something wrong with the cultivation methods we used back then?"
"Exactly, Big Brother. We never had such phenomena when we cultivated!"
"Look, even the might of heaven and earth is sweeping toward Kong Xuan. This is Power only Saints can wield!"
"Sixteen petals!"
"It still hasn't ended!"
"..."
At this moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian finally could not hold back any longer. They stared at Laozi with faces full of shock.
Even Jieyin, standing nearby, revealed an expression of disbelief.
"This child can no longer be measured by our cultivation methods!"
"It seems that after he Observed Hongmeng Birth and Destruction, his comprehension has exceeded our imagination. Once he grows up, he may surpass us!"
Laozi was equally astonished, but he still gave Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Jieyin an answer.
However, he could only explain it through Kong Xuan's earlier observation of Hongmeng Birth and Destruction. After all, even he could not deduce the secrets within.
At this moment, the Flower of Grand Luo above Kong Xuan's head emitted wave after wave of hums as it continued blooming.
Astonishing phenomena had already appeared upon it. The radiance of the Flower of Grand Luo illuminated all of Hong Huang.
Whether deep within Jiuyin, above the Thirty-Three Heavens, or within Zixiao Palace, everyone could clearly see this scene.
Inside Zixiao Palace!
Hongjun's expression darkened slightly, and his body could not help but tremble.
"Could this child possibly surpass This Ancestor's cultivation?"
"Could it be... could he have already been Chosen by Great Dao?"
"..."
As the Dao Ancestor and the founder of the Hong Huang Cultivation System, Hongjun had always believed that the Flower of Grand Luo could only bloom nine petals.
Yet Kong Xuan had forcibly taught him a lesson, shattering his previous understanding.
Thus, it was not only the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Expert and the many Saints who were shocked. Even he revealed a look of astonishment.
Several breaths later, the power around him surged rapidly. Terrifying Heavenly Dao Power appeared above his head and condensed into an enormous vortex.
His body slowly rose, and he stepped into the vortex.
Hong Huang, the Sky above Supreme Hongmeng Ranking!
Kong Xuan's Flower of Grand Luo had still not withered and bloomed once more.
Sixteen petals!
Seventeen petals!
Eighteen petals!
In the end, the Flower of Grand Luo reached a full twenty-four petals!
"Twenty-four petals?"
"A twenty-four-petal bloom... what kind of talent is that?"
"Capital for Proving Dao? No, a nine-petal bloom already grants the Capital for Proving Dao!"
"Destined to prove the Dao?"
"Guaranteed to Prove Dao?"
"..."
When they saw Kong Xuan's Flower of Grand Luo finally stabilize at twenty-four petals, the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Expert once again let out cries of shock that shook heaven and earth.
The Two Great Demon Emperors, Eleven Ancestral Witches, East Prince, West Queen Mother... and many other top mighty figures, who had already left the Challenge Arena and planned to return to Demon God Palace, hurried back at this moment.
Like the Myriad Races Expert, they all wore expressions of utter disbelief.
"This child's future is limitless. Since he has entered the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he should come to Immortal Court for a discussion!"
East Prince was the first to react and was about to step forward to speak with Kong Xuan.
However, before he could move, Di Jun and Taiyi blocked his path from nearby.
"Humph!"
"What is there to see in a minor force like Immortal Court? Kong Xuan should join the demon race and become a Demon God of the demon race!"
What Di Jun and Taiyi valued was not merely Kong Xuan's astonishing twenty-four-petal bloom, but also Yuan Feng behind him and Dao Lord Taichu, the master of Hongmeng Palace.
If they could truly draw Kong Xuan into the demon race, they might also have an opportunity to visit Hongmeng Palace.
"Silence!"
"If you have not become Saints, you are ultimately ants!"
"This child is fated with Western Teachings and may become Western Teachings' third Cult Master!"
"..."
Jieyin coldly rebuked the Two Great Demon Emperors and East Prince, then loudly declared his willingness to use the position of Western Teachings Cult Master to recruit Kong Xuan.
As long as Kong Xuan joined Western Teachings, he might be able to use Kong Xuan's relationship with Yuan Feng to resolve their past karma and release Zhunti early.
In the future, Western Teachings might not be unable to produce another Saint-level combatant.
"What a joke!"
"Western Teachings is barren. It has neither resources nor treasures. How could it teach a disciple with such talent?"
"Kong Xuan must join Chan Sect and be personally taught by me!"
Yuanshi let out cold sneers, every word tearing down Jieyin's proposal.
Jieyin's face darkened, yet he found it difficult to refute him.
"Second Brother, Kong Xuan should join Sect of Interception!"
"Doesn't Chan Sect refuse to accept those born with fur and horns, hatched from eggs or born from dampness?"
"Furthermore, when Kong Xuan was surrounded by all sides before, This Venerable had intended to take him into Sect of Interception. It was only delayed by certain matters!"
"This child should naturally join Sect of Interception and become my personal disciple!"
"..."
Tongtian stepped forward at this moment and gave Yuanshi a faint smile.
When the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking revealed the Treasure Ranking earlier, he had indeed wanted to take Kong Xuan as his disciple. It was simply that Yuan Feng had taken Kong Xuan away.
"Second Brother, third brother, do not argue. Human Teachings has only one disciple so far. This old man should also take in a second disciple!"
At this moment, Laozi also spoke, seemingly having the intention of accepting another disciple.
For a time, the Four Saints all walked toward Kong Xuan, seemingly intending to recruit him.
"The Saints value Kong Xuan so highly. Could they fight fiercely just to take him as a disciple?"
"Surely not? Why don't we have such opportunities?"
"Could it be that these Saints have set their sights on the supreme treasure on Kong Xuan?"
