Proving the Dao as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Attracts Hongjun's Gaze

On the Moon Star, the aura of battle was overwhelming.

The air surged, and the entire great star trembled slightly.

The surrounding star essence, like a chaotic river, stirred up violent waves from time to time.

Xihe's expression was serene, the Moon Profound Light Mirror in her hand emitting a dense silver immortal light, controlling time and space.

Wherever the immortal light passed, everything became extremely slow. Dijun's techniques were easily grasped before her, putting him at a disadvantage.

The River Map and Luo Book were ultimately auxiliary magic treasures; their weakness in combat power was directly apparent.

Moreover, Xihe had already reached the early peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, while Dijun was merely at the early Zenith Heaven stage. The gap in cultivation also left him stretched thin and hard-pressed to cope.

Changxi held a round orb in her hand, which emitted blue-silver beams that shook the dust and formed a great net, trapping Taiyi inside.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, holding the Eastern Emperor Bell, continuously infused it with divine thought. The bell rapidly expanded, as if to prop up the heavens and earth, struggling wildly within the net.

Changxi's cultivation was close to Xihe's, and she surpassed Taiyi as well. Coupled with her profound insight into the Moon Star Annihilation Divine Ball, the Eastern Emperor Bell appeared dim and lackluster under its might.

Taiyi was ultimately trapped by the great net formed by the Moon Star Annihilation Divine Ball. Though not yet defeated, he was imprisoned.

"These two women of the Sun Star are so formidable—I underestimated them!" Dijun sighed softly.

He had thought that he and his brother, both Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, would surely surpass the Moon Star deities. Only now did he realize they had been rash and reckless.

Relying on their powerful magic treasures and deep cultivation foundations, they barely held on, but it was not easy for them to be completely defeated anytime soon.

On the Sun Star, Beichen continuously comprehended the dao essence of the three thousand Imperfect Great Daos. The vast, ocean-like dao principles were steadily absorbed by him, like a river pouring into the sea, a stream flowing into the ocean.

His divine thoughts flowed among these three thousand great daos, unraveling threads and peeling back layers, gaining insight layer by layer.

He was utterly entranced, roaming through the profound meanings of the three thousand great daos, completely ignoring this world and the primordial wilderness.

Though the great daos were imperfect, they still emitted endless secrets. Each of the three thousand imperfect daos was the ultimate mystery of the world!

Beichen comprehended for a full hundred years. When a glimmer of primordial brilliance scattered his divine consciousness, he let out a long breath and looked up at the sky above.

In the more than ten thousand years since his birth, he had long achieved the Five Energies Converging to the Origin. Now, it was the day of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, proving the Great Dao and attaining the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!

Above his head, three purple-gold, ten-thousand-layered divine lotuses spun slowly, pouring down myriad dao energies.

Around Beichen, rolling dao essence shrouded him, and countless complex immortal sounds flickered, like the tolling of great bells and massive cauldrons.

The commotion on the Sun Star was immense. The illusory light stirred by his ascension to Zenith Heaven illuminated the space between the Sun Star and the Moon Star with dazzling brilliance.

In the endless void, faint thunder flickered, and the roar of thunder shook the heavens.

"The divine might fluctuations of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm?"

On the Moon Star, the four who were fighting all stopped and turned their gazes toward the Sun Star.

"You two foolish boys, you dared to invade my Moon Star, yet you didn't know your own Sun Star had been taken. How foolish is that?" Xihe said with dignity and grace, her entire being exuding a powerful maternal aura and rich charm.

"Hmph! Serves you right! Who told you not to stay put on the Sun Star but to come and trouble us? You deserve to become homeless strays!" Changxi snorted, still acting proud and coquettish.

"Sister, that Zenith Heaven dao essence seems quite extraordinary!" Changxi also noticed the unusual nature of the Zenith Heaven dao essence on the Sun Star, and many guesses arose in her mind.

Xihe sighed inwardly: "We sisters once witnessed the scene of the Two Crows ascending to Zenith Heaven. Though it was extremely impressive, they only gathered Nine-Petal Three Flowers at the crown. Now, looking at that purple-gold aura, could that cultivator's Zenith Heaven Three Flowers actually be Twelve-Petal?"

When a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal proves the Great Dao and attains Zenith Heaven, the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, divided into four grades: Three-Petal, Six-Petal, Nine-Petal, and Twelve-Petal.

Those who gather Three-Petal Three Flowers at the crown are of mediocre origins and limited cultivation. In their entire lives, they may only remain at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, with no chance of becoming a Sage.

Those who gather Six-Petal Three Flowers at the crown have deep origins and profound blessings. In the future, they have a fifty percent chance of stepping into the Quasi-Sage realm.

Those who gather Nine-Petal Three Flowers at the crown have powerful origins, the highest grade in the primordial wilderness. They have a ninety-nine percent chance of entering the Quasi-Sage realm and a fifty percent chance of becoming a Sage.

If, when entering the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, one gathers Twelve-Petal Three Flowers at the crown, it signifies the origins of a Chaos Demon God. In the future, becoming a Sage would be as easy as eating or drinking, and even surpassing the Sage Realm would not be difficult.

Back then, when Dijun and Taiyi entered the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, their crown Three Flowers were merely crimson red, triggering the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation and shaking the entire Milky Way Star Domain.

But Beichen's Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, with his purple-gold Three Flowers, stirred up thunder that was countless times more powerful than that of the Two Crows back then.

Boom!

A Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder descended from the void, crashing into the Sun Star as if to destroy the star outright.

The Two Crows' hearts tightened. Dijun's expression was extremely tense: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Turtle has actually drawn down the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder Tribulation?"

"Big brother, what if the Sun Star is shattered?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expression turned grim. They had only asked Beichen to watch over the house. Who could have imagined that his ascension to Zenith Heaven would trigger the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder, potentially destroying their home, the Sun Star?

"Is this Fellow Daoist Xuan Turtle our blessing or our curse?" Dijun smiled bitterly.

Once, receiving Beichen's guidance in comprehending the River Map and Luo Book, Dijun thought it was a blessing. Now, with the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder crashing into the Sun Star, their home might be directly destroyed—this was certainly a great calamity!

"Xuan Turtle?" Xihe and Changxi looked at the Sun Star, which was being shaken by bolts of Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder, with confusion. "Is that the Xuan Turtle who rules the North Sea? His origins are this terrifying?"

The Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder, in its twelve sets of nine, one hundred and eight bolts in total, could not all descend in a short while.

And with the appearance of this world-ending thunder, countless gazes within the Primordial Wilderness turned toward the Sun Star.

"Those two Golden Crows have actually triggered the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder Tribulation?"

The Grand Pure Lord of Morality gazed into the distance from the edge of the heavens, his heart tightening.

"No, these are not Golden Crows. Those two Crows had already stepped into Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal five hundred years ago, and back then they triggered the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

"Then this is..." The Grand Pure Lord of Morality's expression suddenly darkened, "It is that tortoise, the North Sea Black Tortoise!"

The Primordial Lord of Heaven watched the vastness of this thunder tribulation, and a thick fury spread across his face. "A beast clad in fur and bearing horns, born of dampness and hatched from eggs, dares to trigger the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder?"

Tongtian was also shaken, stunned into a long silence. "The Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder! Even when my master's four disciples, with their immensely powerful origins, were once like those Two Crows, they opened Nine-Petal Three Flowers above their heads and triggered the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation. That tortoise has actually opened Twelve-Petal Three Flowers and drawn the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder?"

The world-ending thunder's commotion resounded throughout the Primordial Wilderness, and even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was in seclusion, slightly opened his eyes. "The Sun Star? A Golden Crow attaining the Great Way of Golden Immortal... No! It is a turtle!"

Immediately, Old Ancestor Hongjun raised his fingers to calculate. After a moment, his divine eyes widened in shock. "Terrifying to such a degree, terrifying to such a degree! This North Sea Black Tortoise actually has the origins of a Chaos Godfiend! This thunder tribulation is no weaker than the one that descended when I myself attained the Great Way of Golden Immortal!"

"This tortoise has won the favor of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, escaping the control of the Heavenly Dao. It is an aberrant variable!"

Beichen's breakthrough stirred Hongjun's attention. Little did he know that this single glance, radiating boundless karma, would cause Beichen to begin wildly overturning the injustices of the Primordial Wilderness and rewriting its history!
