Nine-Rank Bloom? Tongtian is Dumbfounded!

Inside the cave dwelling.

Xuandu sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into the Purple Mansion.

The Pedigree Transformation brought unprecedented clarity to his spiritual platform.

Many previous cultivation bottlenecks now resolved themselves effortlessly.

He looked inward, sensing the vast, star-sea-like Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak magic power surging through his meridians, smooth and unimpeded.

Yet, at the source of this immense power, within the void of the Purple Mansion, it appeared too clean.

Ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals condensed the Three Flowers within the Purple Mansion—the ultimate manifestation of essence, energy, and spirit.

With the Three Flowers blooming above and the Five Qi gathered in the chest, only then was Zenith Heaven perfection achieved.

But before this, Xuandu had only magic power, limited by his Pedigree, unable to condense even the most basic Three Flowers.

His Dao Foundation was unstable—this was the root cause of his inability to break through to higher realms on his own.

"So that's how it is..."

Xuandu understood in his heart.

"It seems that in the original path, after Xuandu became Laozi's disciple, he must have consumed who knows how many of that Grand Pure Sage's most precious heavenly treasures, barely piecing together a foundation."

Thinking of this, he felt even more fortunate for his decisive choice to abandon the Human Sect and join the Jie Sect.

The Human Sect was pure and non-acting; Laozi might have expended effort for him, but he would never have granted a step-by-step ascension to a Chaos God Demon Pedigree like this!

At most, it would have been a top-tier Innate Pedigree.

But a Chaos God Demon Pedigree was a qualitative leap!

"Now, with the Pedigree prepared and magic power abundant."

"It's time to condense my Three Flowers and thoroughly solidify this Zenith Heaven Dao Foundation!"

Xuandu's gaze sharpened, and he no longer hesitated.

The Shangqing Gongfa operated at full power!

The terror of the primary Chaos God Demon Pedigree now truly revealed itself.

No need for deliberate guidance; the moment his mind moved, the Dao Principles responded.

Within the Purple Mansion, a sudden transformation erupted!

Essence, energy, and spirit, drawn by the Chaos Dao Rhyme, madly converged toward the center of the Purple Mansion with unprecedented speed and purity.

Dao tones sounded on their own, echoing through the void of the Purple Mansion.

A point of light, dazzling to the extreme, first ignited, like the first ray of light born from chaos.

The light rapidly bloomed, turning into the shadow of a golden lotus flower, still in bud.

On the petals, Dao Patterns were born naturally.

This was the Human Flower!

Almost simultaneously, on another side, pure qi rose, swirling and flowing, condensing into a flawless white lotus flower.

The petals were crystalline, brimming with infinite vitality.

This was the Earth Flower!

Above, divine light surged, spiritual sense power condensed into substance, weaving into a deep, mysterious purple lotus flower.

As the petals swayed, the power of the Divine Soul surged like a tide.

This was the Heaven Flower!

The Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man manifested their rudimentary forms in an instant!

This was only the beginning.

The moment the Three Flower shadows took shape, their petals began to unfold at lightning speed!

The first petal instantly solidified, Dao Rhyme flowing, light blazing brightly.

There was no pause.

The second, third, fourth petals...

Layer after layer of petals unfurled, faster than thought.

The fifth, sixth petals...

Xuandu could clearly sense that with each petal's bloom, his perception of the Heaven and Earth Rules grew sharper, and his control over the vast magic power within became more exquisite and subtle.

In the blink of an eye, the Three Flowers had reached the seventh petal!

The seven petals fully spread, each radiating a magnificent light of gold, white, and purple, illuminating the entire Purple Mansion.

Dao Rhymes interwove, principles descended, and Xuandu's aura grew deeper and more ethereal.

"Seven petals..."

Even Xuandu's heart stirred with ripples.

As far as he knew, in the Great Wilderness, those whose Pedigree could condense Three Flowers of seven petals were already as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Take Kong Xuan, for example—as the Son of Primordial Phoenix, with an Innate Five Elements Pedigree and boundless future potential, his Three Flowers of Great Dao were of the seven-petal grade.

Even the mighty Demon Race's Di Jun and Tai Yi, or the Witch Clan's Ancestral Witches, mostly stopped at this level.

Only the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, the Three Pure Ones Sage, by inheriting the Heaven-Opening Merit and part of Pangu's legacy, could surpass the limit and achieve the supreme accomplishment of an Eight-petal Bloom!

That was the theoretical limit an Innate Pedigree could reach!

And he, in an instant, had already stood shoulder to shoulder with top-tier Innate Sacred Beings like Kong Xuan!

The Chaos God Demon Pedigree was truly heaven-defying!

Yet seven petals were not the end!

After reaching seven-petal perfection, those three radiant lotuses paused only briefly, drawing on the vast Origin Power ceaselessly supplied by the Chaos God Demon Pedigree.

The phantom of the eighth petal slowly unfurled from the core of the Three Flowers!

Even the ninth petal showed signs of spreading.

But it was blocked by some force.

"Eight petals... actually eight petals!"

Xuandu's heart surged with joy he could barely contain.

This meant that, in terms of Pedigree and potential alone, he was now no less than the Three Pure Ones of old!

He possessed the supreme foundation to aspire to the highest realm!

His upper limit had been completely shattered!

He could even faintly sense that eight petals... might not be his final limit.

It was merely constrained by his current realm or the limitations of the Great Wilderness, preventing him from fully drawing it forth.

"Enough... for now, an Eight-petal Bloom is the pinnacle of the Great Wilderness!"

Xuandu suppressed his surging emotions, focusing all his power on stabilizing the newly born phantom of the Eight-Petal Three Flowers, guiding his internal energy to nurture and temper it.

He did not know.

At the very moment the Three Flowers condensed within his Purple Mansion, especially when the phantom of the eighth petal appeared—

Outside, above Golden Ao Island, a sudden anomaly arose!

Deep within Biyou Palace.

Sect Leader Tongtian's Spiritual Sense still lingered above Xuandu's Simple Cave Mansion.

He clearly perceived billions of miles of spiritual energy surging into that cave, devoured by Xuandu's body.

Such a scene of whale-swallowing, sea-drinking had far exceeded his understanding.

"This child must harbor a shocking secret."

In His Eyes, Vicissitudes deepened.

A Human Race Pedigree could never trigger such an omen.

Unless... his Pedigree had undergone an essential transformation in a short time!

The moment this thought arose, even Sect Leader Tongtian found it somewhat absurd.

Pedigree was innate, ordained by the Dao; one might slightly enhance it through opportunities or elixirs in the later stages.

But to achieve a qualitative change was no different from defying fate—harder than reaching the heavens.

Just as his thoughts turned—

Boom!

An indescribable Dao Fluctuation suddenly erupted from deep within Xuandu's cave, shooting straight into the sky!

It was not a surge of power, but a resonance at the level of origin!

Above Golden Ao Island, the once clear Sky Dome instantly shifted with Vicissitudes!

Endless auspicious clouds gathered from All Directions, with myriad Rosy Clouds and Myriad Auspicious Colors.

Celestial music echoed from the void, ethereal and elusive, yet clearly audible.

Streams of golden Rosy Clouds cascaded like waterfalls, illuminating the desolate mountain peak where Xuandu sat, making it seem like a fairyland.

In the void, fleeting visions of Earthly Golden Lotuses and Heaven Flowers scattering seemed to flash by.

Even More, blurry Chaos Phantoms rose and fell within the clouds, as if paying homage or congratulating the birth of some supreme foundation!

"Is this... the Condensing Three Flowers of Great Dao, drawing heaven and earth's celebration?"

Sect Leader Tongtian's eyes showed true Astonished Look for the first time.

For an ordinary cultivator to condense Three Flowers and draw spiritual energy from a hundred or a thousand miles was already remarkable.

Those capable of drawing forth phenomena are one in ten thousand.

And the phenomena Xuandu now stirred spanned the entirety of Golden Ao Island, faintly reaching even the surrounding seas for billions of li!

Auspicious clouds, celestial music, golden radiance, Chaos Phantoms...

This was no ordinary celebration—it was as if the Great Dao itself manifested phenomena for him!

"What grade of Three Flowers could provoke such a display?"

Sect Leader Tongtian sank his mind into the Heavenly Dao, attempting to deduce.

Yet the Heavenly Secret remained chaotic.

But he discovered that the Jie Sect's Fortune was growing at a rapid pace.

Clearly, this person was a Jie Sect disciple.

Coupled with the billions of li of spiritual energy surging toward Xuandu Cave Mansion...

"Could it be..."

A guess so startling it unsettled even him surfaced in his mind.
