Lingxuan Dao Field, Chaos Celestial River.
Zhao Gongming sat cross-legged in the river. Endless streams of chaos energy, Great Dao Divine Runes, and profound laws surged into his body.
"Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal, break through!"
Zhao Gongming gave a low shout, his voice rumbling like thunder. Countless strange runes rippled across the river's surface, drifting with the current.
Before he could even catch his breath, he squeezed his eyes shut, and the chaos energy around him was devoured in a matter of moments.
"Late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal, break through!"
Another low shout rang out. A chaotic wheel slowly appeared behind Zhao Gongming. Yin and yang unfolded within it, as did the five elements. Life and death revolved, and the sun and moon shone together.
After an unknown length of time, Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes. With a flip, he rose from the river and landed steadily on the bank.
"Hahaha... I, Zhao Gongming, have reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"
"Now I wield the power of the Great Dao Laws. My body is indestructible, and my true spirit is imperishable. In terms of cultivation, I may be only at the late Quasi-Saint stage, but if it came to a real fight... Hmph!"
He lifted his gaze slightly, his eyes sharp as swords, their glint brimming with fierce confidence:
"Big Brother said that killing enemies above your cultivation level... is just standard practice. Even those at the Quasi-Saint peak, or even Great Perfection... might not be able to get the better of me, Zhao Gongming!"
After speaking, Zhao Gongming slowly walked toward the ancient willow tree in the distance.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan was studying that Beginning Qilin Egg.
He had to admit, that egg was huge!
A faint fragrance seemed to waft from its shell!
