Breakthrough to Taiyi

[Xiao Yan: Sigh, with Senior's cultivation, whatever treasure we offer will be more or less the same to him.]

[Xiao Yan: What matters is the thought.]

[A Qi: Oh, I see. (⌐▨_▨)]

[Hei Da Wu: ??? So you've been lurking this whole time, huh?]

[A Qi: After comprehending the Dao Self True Form Diagram, my strength also advanced by leaps and bounds. I easily took out two Shadow Assassins.]

[A Qi: I'd been thinking about how to repay Senior's kindness, and then I happened to see you all discussing this.]

[Hei Da Wu: So, have you decided what treasure to offer?]

[A Qi: Of course... I haven't.]

[A Qi: I only have two treasures on me right now. The Magic Blade Thousand Blades is my bonded weapon, while the scissors were a token of love given to me by Plum Blossom Thirteen. Other than that, I have nothing but my good looks.]

[A Qi: What do you think? How about I offer a bowl of beef offal with extra ingredients? Or design a fashionable hairstyle for Senior?]

[Xiao Yan: (°ー°〃)]

[Hei Da Wu: Take your time thinking about it. I'll make my offering first.]

Within the Falling Sword Abyss, Bai Xiaochun took out a Longevity Incense that had been spirit-refined three times, then activated the offering function.

The next moment, a system notification sounded in Li Qingxu's mind:

[System: Chat Group member Hei Da Wu offered Longevity Incense, triggering a Million Times Critical Strike. It has transformed into Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense.]

[Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense: After being lit, it can slow the flow of time by one hundred times in the area where the user is located without affecting the surrounding world. Burn time: one hundred years.]

When Li Qingxu saw the Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense's effect, delight immediately rose in his heart.

The Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference was imminent. What he needed most right now was time.

Yet this Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense could grant him a full ten thousand additional years of cultivation time!

With his current comprehension, even without a Saint expounding the Dao, Li Qingxu was confident that he could break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm within ten thousand years.

"The system truly understands me too well."

Li Qingxu sighed. Every treasure produced by the system's critical strikes was exactly what he needed most.

Before his excitement could fade, another system notification appeared:

[System: Chat Group member A Qi offered Black Jade Marrow Renewal Paste, triggering a three million times critical strike. It has transformed into one bottle of Three Lights Divine Water.]

"Three Lights Divine Water!"

Li Qingxu's heart stirred.

The Three Lights Divine Water was divided into the golden Sunlight Divine Water, the silver Moonlight Divine Water, and the violet Starlight Divine Water.

Any one of these divine waters alone was a poisonous liquid capable of eroding flesh and dissolving bones, but when combined, they became the Prehistoric World's foremost sacred medicine for healing.

So long as the True Spirit remained unharmed, even if one's physical body had been reduced to ash, two drops of Three Lights Divine Water would immediately restore them to full health.

Moreover, the Three Lights Divine Water could also nurture Innate Spiritual Roots, allowing them to grow and transform.

Although the Three Lights Divine Water was of no use to Li Qingxu for the time being, it would undoubtedly provide him with a crucial additional safeguard when he traveled through the Prehistoric World and faced Measure Tribulations in the future.

[Hei Da Wu: Senior, did you receive the Longevity Incense I offered?]

[A Qi: And my Black Jade Marrow Renewal Paste too. (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡]

[Qingxu Daojun: Mm, This one received them all.]

[Qingxu Daojun: This one is greatly pleased that you possess such gratitude.]

After seeing Li Qingxu's reply, Bai Xiaochun and A Qi finally let out the breath they had been holding, and could not help but sigh inwardly.

A senior was indeed a senior. Not only was his cultivation unfathomable, but even his state of mind was so transcendent.

If they could cling to this powerful backer, their paths ahead would surely be smooth sailing.

After saying a few simple words in the Chat Group, Li Qingxu withdrew his attention and prepared to light the Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense to attempt a breakthrough into the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

With a thought, he took the Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense out of the System Space.

The incense was about a foot long, neither metal nor jade, and a chaotic grayish-white in color. Its natural patterns seemed to record the passage of time itself. Holding it in his hand, he could faintly sense a subtle feeling of "sluggishness" entirely different from the flow of time in the present world.

With a sweep of his hand, a purple-bronze cloud-patterned incense burner immediately appeared a short distance before him.

As he inserted the Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense into the center of the burner and flicked a wisp of flame from his fingertip to light it, a curl of hazy smoke slowly rose.

The smoke did not spread. Instead, as though it possessed life, it began circling and descending of its own accord within thirty feet around Li Qingxu. In the end, it formed a hazy pale-gray barrier that slowly revolved without pause, enveloping both him and the incense burner.

Li Qingxu sat cross-legged on the Cloud Bed and released his Spiritual Sense outward. He felt everything in the surrounding world become incomparably slow, as though it were moving in slow motion.

However, he knew that the flow of time outside had not slowed. Rather, within this small space, the mighty power of the Dao incense had slowed time by a hundredfold.

"Whether I can break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm depends on this attempt."

Li Qingxu closed his eyes, cleared away every distracting thought, and began wholeheartedly comprehending the Dao previously expounded by the Three Pure Ones.

Gradually, an indescribable Dao aura spread from within his body.

Above his head, light flowed through the void as strange phenomena gradually emerged.

Five streams of Innate Qi, each pure in color and utterly distinct in aura, rose like spirit serpents. Following the supreme principles of mutual generation and restraint, they connected head to tail and formed a perfectly circulating Five Elements Dao Wheel.

Immediately afterward, the phantom of the Reverse Fate Wheel, representing Li Qingxu's own Dao, solidified from illusion into reality and emerged majestically.

At the center of the wheel sat a solemn Dharma Form. Its eyes had no pupils; its left eye evolved the birth and destruction of the Five Elements, while starlight phantoms flowed through its right eye.

Its will was the sole law governing the operation of the Reverse Fate Wheel.

Li Qingxu, seated upon the Cloud Bed, devoted himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the Dao taught by the Three Pure Ones.

The state of inaction of the Supreme Pure One, the laws of following Heaven from the Jade Pure One, and the sharp spirit of severing Heaven from Shangqing—these sacred truths, each possessing its own Dao, gradually merged with Li Qingxu's own Dao through his comprehension, transforming from experiences imparted by others into insights most suited to himself.

As time passed, the aura emanating from Li Qingxu grew increasingly powerful. The Five Elements Dao Wheel above his head became clearer and clearer, while the Dharma Form seated upon the Reverse Fate Wheel radiated an even more majestic and solemn presence, as though it were the sole ruler of all heavens and worlds.

Beyond that, mysterious purple divine light appeared around Li Qingxu's body, while Time Dao Patterns flickered in and out of sight.

After cultivating for ten thousand years within the special domain formed by the Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense, he had gradually grasped a trace of the true essence of the Time Law.

Though it was merely an insignificant wisp, the Time Law ranked among the top three of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws. Given his current cultivation, being able to comprehend it at all was already extraordinarily rare and precious.

At the instant the Eternal Evergreen Dao Incense burned out, Li Qingxu's aura surged explosively like an erupting volcano, shaking the heavens and earth in every direction.

At that moment, the void within Qingxu Hall trembled, and the Great Dao resounded in harmony.

As his vast mana condensed and his Nascent Soul realm ascended, three Dao Flowers, still waiting to bloom, manifested above his head once more.

Compared to before, although the Three Flowers Above the Crown had yet to fully blossom, Chaos-colored light now flowed from the tips of their petals, and profound Innate Dao Patterns naturally emerged upon every petal.

The Reverse Fate Wheel hung high above, stabilizing Heaven and Earth. The inner heaven and earth of the Five Elements rose and fell below, evolving all things, while the three flower buds swayed gracefully, connecting Heaven, Earth, and Man—the Three Talents.

Ten thousand years of cultivation had finally brought him to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!
