"Right now..."
Qin Feng's eyes snapped open, and every muscle in his body tensed and burst with power.
Rumble!!
The Great Dao surged wildly between heaven and earth, transforming into a dazzling, multicolored radiance.
Then, like spiritual serpents, the lights coiled around Qin Feng's body. Each one held an utterly terrifying power of the Great Dao. They flickered across his skin before pouring into him, surging like mighty rivers.
His bones began to shine with a jade-like luster, turning crystal clear, as though he were undergoing a complete rebirth.
"It worked?!"
Hearing the commotion, Emperor Mengyao immediately looked at Qin Feng, tense with anticipation.
Ancient, mysterious runes appeared in the void. They shone with golden light as they slowly revolved around Qin Feng, each containing the supreme principles of heaven and earth. Qin Feng's aura began to climb without end.
Then a force of Primal Chaos gathered above Qin Feng's head, forming the phantom of a flower bud.
"Twelve-petal bloom?!"
Old Zi, outside the bamboo grove, immediately widened his eyes.
Nine flower buds shimmering with immortal light circled Qin Feng, while three golden buds appeared above his head. One of them seemed undernourished, as if it couldn't fully bloom.
"Alas, still not enough?!"
Qin Feng sighed helplessly to himself, realizing that reaching twelve petals was truly too difficult.
He had thought the Primal Chaos Dao Body could bring forth a twelve-petal bloom, but he hadn't expected to form only a phantom. Even if he broke through to the early Immortal King stage right now, he still wouldn't be able to make it bloom.
Fortunately, he still had a Huangzhong Plum. That should let him achieve the twelve-petal bloom.
With that thought—
Qin Feng didn't hesitate. He took it out and swallowed it.
