Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, a Great Opportunity

"I never expected cultivating the tenth level of the Chaos Scripture to cost me two moments of enlightenment."

Ignoring the uproar outside, Xiao Yun remained in his state of enlightenment, cultivating the Chaos Scripture.

To his surprise, each of the first nine levels of the Chaos Scripture had required only one moment of enlightenment to master. But by the tenth level, every single level required two moments of enlightenment.

"It seems that the further I progress, the harder it becomes to cultivate the Chaos Scripture, and the more moments of enlightenment I'll need." Xiao Yun immediately understood.

This caught him off guard. He had originally thought that 108 moments of enlightenment would be enough to cultivate the Chaos Scripture to its 108th level. Now, it seemed he had been far too naive.

"Still, as long as I forge the Nascent Chaos Body, I'll rival a third-grade King Body. That will be enough for me to become a Holy Son." Xiao Yun thought to himself.

Fortunately, he only needed to forge the Nascent Chaos Body this time. There was no need to immediately forge the Chaos Body.

Di Tian had told Xiao Yun that merely forging the Nascent Chaos Body required him to cultivate the Chaos Scripture to the thirty-sixth level.

And he still had more than 140 moments of enlightenment remaining.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Yun expended more moments of enlightenment and continued cultivating the Chaos Scripture.

The tenth level... the twelfth level... the fourteenth level...

As time passed, Xiao Yun drew ever closer to the Nascent Chaos Body.

In his enlightened state, Xiao Yun resonated with the Chaos Great Dao. Cultivating the Chaos Scripture was as easy as eating and drinking, like copying answers during an exam—it was absurdly fast.

Rumble!

As Xiao Yun broke through level after level of the Chaos Scripture, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside grew increasingly violent. Like floodwaters bursting through a broken dam, it surged ceaselessly toward Xiao Yun.

However, a golden barrier around Xiao Yun's body blocked the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from entering him. Otherwise, he might have broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm in an instant.

The people around him cried out in astonishment once more.

"This is terrifying! How many levels has he broken through? How could he draw in so much spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

"Elder Taishang Di Tian said he cultivated nine levels in a single day. Could that really be true?"

"To attract this much spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he definitely hasn't merely broken through to the tenth level."

Amid everyone's exclamations, more and more spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged toward Xiao Yun.

Not far away, the Eastern God King's expression was incomparably gloomy. He had not expected Xiao Yun's comprehension to be so formidable. He had actually broken through several levels in succession, far surpassing even Di Tian of old.

Li Bufan was frightened as well. He lowered his voice and said, "Martial Uncle, could Xiao Yun really forge the Nascent Chaos Body?"

The Eastern God King snorted and transmitted his voice, "Rest assured. No matter how formidable his comprehension is, it is impossible for him to cultivate the Chaos Scripture to the thirty-sixth level within a single week."

Only after hearing the Eastern God King's words did Li Bufan feel relieved.

At the same time, ever more spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged toward Xiao Yun. Yet because it was blocked by the golden barrier, all that spiritual energy gathered around him.

As a result, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around Xiao Yun became denser and denser, nearly condensing into liquid, leaving many people in the distance utterly shaken.

"Such incomparably dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth is even richer than the places where Saints cultivate. If one could cultivate within it, one's cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds!" a Taishang elder sighed.

Those words reminded Uncle Fu. His eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said to Xi Chunyu beside him, "Miss Xi, quickly cultivate beside the Young Lord. The Young Lord has no use for this spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but you can use it to increase your cultivation."

Xi Chunyu froze for a moment, but quickly understood. She hurried to Xiao Yun's side, sat cross-legged, and began circulating her cultivation technique to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

That was right. Xiao Yun did not need this spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but she could absorb it. It would be a waste not to use it.

Watching Xi Chunyu enter cultivation, Uncle Fu could not help looking at Lin Xiaoya beside him. Smiling, he said, "Xiaoya, if you do not enter the True Dragon Nest, this is the perfect opportunity for you to break through to the Qi Gathering Realm. And perhaps, with this stroke of fortune, you may even immediately cultivate to the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm. Breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm is entirely possible."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoya became deeply conflicted.

Reaching the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm in one go, perhaps even breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm—the temptation was simply too great.

If she cultivated by herself, it would likely take her more than ten years to step into the Divine Bridge Realm. Yet now, she might achieve it within only a few days, saving her an enormous amount of time.

But if she broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm, she would no longer be able to accompany Xiao Yun into the True Dragon Nest.

What a painful dilemma!

"Mid-stage Divine Bridge Realm!"

"Xi Chunyu has broken through to the mid-stage Divine Bridge Realm! She seems to have only recently advanced to the Divine Bridge Realm, yet she has already broken through again."

"With such an opportunity before her, it would be strange if she didn't break through."

"Who would have thought that Xiao Yun cultivating the Chaos Scripture would instead fulfill Xi Chunyu?"

Suddenly, cries of astonishment rang out all around them.

Lin Xiaoya immediately stared fixedly at Xi Chunyu, who sat cross-legged beside her senior brother. She could clearly sense that Xi Chunyu's aura was stronger than before. She had clearly broken through to the mid-stage Divine Bridge Realm.

Damn it, this was Senior Brother's opportunity. Even if it were someone else's turn, it shouldn't have been yours.

Lin Xiaoya gritted her teeth in fury.

At the same time, she suddenly realized something: after this, the gap between her cultivation and Xi Chunyu's would only grow wider and wider.

She simply could not bear it.

Especially since Xiao Yun's cultivation speed would surely be incredibly fast from now on. When he went out to gain experience in the future, he would definitely take Xi Chunyu with him, not a low-cultivation burden like her.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoya could no longer endure it. She raised her head and said to Uncle Fu, "Master, I won't go to the True Dragon Nest."

With that, Lin Xiaoya rushed over to the other side of Xiao Yun, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth as well.

Boom!

Before long, Lin Xiaoya broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm, and her cultivation continued to soar wildly.

After all, her cultivation was low, so breaking through was much faster for her than it was for Xi Chunyu.

Uncle Fu watched this with a broad smile. This truly was a great opportunity. Not only had it helped Lin Xiaoya improve her cultivation, it would also spare the Young Lord a burden when he entered the True Dragon Nest. Killing two birds with one stone—ha, ha.

The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land watched with a smile as well. To him, whether it was Xi Chunyu or Lin Xiaoya, both were disciples of Chaos Holy Land. The stronger they became, the stronger Chaos Holy Land would be.

In the distance, the disciples of Chaos Holy Land were also filled with envy as they watched Xi Chunyu and Lin Xiaoya break through their realms.

Unfortunately, with the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land standing there to protect Xiao Yun, they did not dare go over and seize this opportunity.

Moreover, Imperial Peak had its mountain-protecting grand formation. It was not a place just anyone could casually set foot upon.

They could only watch helplessly as Xi Chunyu and Lin Xiaoya's cultivation continued to soar.

Boom!

Suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them erupted into violent turmoil. Ever more frenzied spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered toward Imperial Peak.

The next moment, everyone saw three flowers gradually condense above Xiao Yun's head, emanating majestic waves of spiritual energy.

"Heavens, this is Three Flowers Gather at the Crown! Xiao Yun has cultivated the Chaos Scripture to the eighteenth level."

"Nine levels in one day—I finally believe Di Tian now. Back then, Xiao Yun truly cultivated nine levels in one day, aided by heaven to reach the ultimate realm."

"This is simply terrifying. How could his comprehension be so strong? Could he enter a state of enlightenment at any time?"

Cries of astonishment immediately erupted all around.

Even the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land and the Eastern God King in the distance stared at Xiao Yun with disbelief written across their faces.

Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, the eighteenth level of the Chaos Scripture—this was far too terrifying.

Not even a full day had passed yet!

Even the ancient Great Emperors could not possibly have possessed such terrifying comprehension, could they?
